Thanks for the info thetwins14 yea i was feeling sick throughout the day but rarely throw up so my doctor gave me some nausea pills. But that made me constipated xp so im eating more apples and greens and took colace last night success this morning lol i feel so much better though thanks alliestwins. Yea this app says im underweight thats why i was curious gained about 4 pounds so far about week 9 now couple days from it with my starting weigh being 120. I think this sounds crazy but can you take to many vitamins? Like i have my sickness pills, the colace, prenatal vitimins, folic acid vitamins, and dha vitimins i feel like its too much but its all ok when pregnant so maybe im just over thinking it? My doctor didnt say anything about not lifting more than 15 pounds or not having sex so should i wait i go back in on the 20th to talk to him or what do you think? I havent had any spotting or pain but yea just want to make sure they are safe because not sure if one of them is where yours is or not, not sure how to tell by the ultrasound one is definitely one my left side but the second one is making me nervous.

You can call and your ob can look andvtell tou where the placenta is forming. At 9 weeks there is still a fetal pole so it should be clear on the ultrasound to the doctor. And ues you can take to many vitamins. Folic acid take as much as you like te morw the better but pills just do about 1600mg. If you are worried call your ob and ask what vitamin they want tou on. If you get sick from the prenatal vitamin try one without iron in it. Often the iron makes women sick. If you are ever worried about your babies call the ob. It is thier job to answer your questions. If the act like you shouldn't get a new ob. Twins can be scary and reading about twins online is like playing Russian roulette with your emotions. Also remember that for some god awful reason people think sharing horror stories about birth miscarriage twins is a good thing. Remember this
1st only one twin surviving is very very rare
2nd your babies are well protected inside of you. It is the safest place in the world.
3rd you do have to do everything perfect by some nonexistent book. Your babies will be fine
4th YOU are the mom and YOU know your body. If you think something is wrong or off go in to the ob or er.
5th All first time moms are scared and so 2nd 3rd ect.. moms you are supposed to be. It is instinct and it is a good thing
