Due anytime Summer 2012

[mhv]

Hi ladies.  I know it's kind of early for me, being only 7wks 5days along, to start this, but I wanted to start sharing this journey with others due around the same time as me.

I know many of us (me included) are afraid to put ourselves out there this early, afraid that something might go wrong, but I have known so many of you for you long, that I just couldn't wait any longer to start sharing experiences with you.  I have never been this far along in a pregnancy, and am so sure I am going to have tons of questions.

I am expecting twins, and am still in shock! :)  We have a due date of Aug 9th, but It will probably be more like July 26th, due to it being twins
I feel pretty good most of the time,  but if I don't eat every 2-3 hrs, the babies let me know it!

Just wondering how everyone else is feeling, and wondering if anyone else has questions we can help each other with....

Hugs!!!

I guess our babies are just taking everything we eat :). I really hope they turn too, I would love to have the chance at a vaginal delivery.

Haha!  I was thinking the same thing!  I hope they don't plan on getting too big!! :). I think 6lb babies would be just perfect!!   Glad Jacob is doing so well :).  31 lbs is nothing!!! Your doing great!!!! Any new pregnancy pics????

The dr gave me oxycodone, he tells me it won't hurt the baby but you know, who wants to take drugs pregnant! I can take 2 pills every 4 hours but I take 1 pill a day and only if I cannot take the pain! Thank you for the prayers!

Your babies are pretty big considering your low weight gain! I wish it could be my situation;-) I am 30 weeks today and I already gained 31 pounds with only one baby. I hope my lil Jacob doesn't plan to make mommy fat..;-)
Yay for the cervix hanging in there! xoxo

I am so sorry to hear about your pain... Like you said - thanks God there is a baby at the end of this road! Can't they do anything to ease the pain?
You and Ella will be in my prayers.

Im feeling crappy, thank GOD there is a baby at the end of this journey! Not only does my bladder hurt, but my pelvis hurts, my bum hurts! Oh I can't forget my kidney! I saw my ob today and started crying, I asked him if I was the only patient he had suffering!? The truth is this could happen to any one at any age. I thought maybe it was my age but he told me no. The only other option is a tube into my back to my kidney with a bag attached to it. I pray the pain lessens. I need another surgery on July 2nd to change the stent. My ob told me my Ella is doing just great and I know he feels bad for me but my baby is my priority!
I love you all, thanks for listening!

mhv - Glad to hear your babies are doing great!! Their weight is awesome! I'm not gaining wait either, I've gain 1 lb since my last app two weeks ago. I hope your babies turn so you can have a natural birth.

Hailey- The iron pills are yucky. I take them with breakfast so they don't make me sick.

Marietta - I'm sorry you had that scare. I hope you feel better, just hang in there you are so close. Braxton Hicks can be very uncomfortable.  

Butterflly- I'm glad you are back home and everything is ok. Just hang in there and rest as much as possible. I keep praying for your babies to stay in the oven for a little longer.

As for me, I'm 28 weeks today. I have my next OB appointment and 4D U/S next Friday. I can't wait to see Christian again. The third trimester has really kicked my butt. I'm so tired, my back is so sore, can't find a comfortable position to sleep, the heartburn is still there and the Braxton Hicks are becoming more regular and getting more painful.
