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!!!

Oh Lily, I hope the cramping eases.  Keep up the water intake & hopefully they will subside.  I'm feeling a bit crampy myself, but of course, I'm over 37wks.  I'm thinking of you hun.  XOXOXO

shannon...Thanks!  It was scary, again.  I've been to the delivery suite three times now with this pregnancy, & I feel like I'm paranoid, but whenever I don't feel much movement I freak & my Obstetrician told me it's best to get checked out whenever you're worried, so I have to go by that.  Lack of movement isn't something to be ignored.  I have my Ob appt in an hour, so am hoping all is fine & that my blood pressure is normal & baby has grown!

sisi...I'm so glad to hear everything is OK with you & your gorgeous Mason.  I haven't been in touch with you in ages, but you're always in my prayers.  You are getting so close now!!

I have all of you in my thoughts & prayers, & all these amazing babies waiting to come to us.  I haven't been on this thread much, but I'm thinking of you all.  I've found the 3rd trimester pretty tough as I've had a bad cold & asthma for the past two months, plus my pregnancy symptoms have gotten worse again.  The only plus is I have lots of energy, don't have any swelling, heartburn or back aches, so I guess there are some pluses.  I've been feeling much more nervous as the due date approaches.  Much more than I felt with my other two children & I think this is a culmination of all the past fertility treatment & past heartache coming back to haunt me.  I feel my dream is now coming so close, I'm terrified somehow it will all be taken away from me.  I'm going to have a good talk with the doctor today though, & lay down all my fears, as I know most of them are irrational!  

Anyway, hugs & love to you all & your bubs!  XOXOXO

Havent been on to much as I'm trying to rest as much as possible. And today I'm feeling a little crampy! Ugh I really hope I don't end up in L&D again. My doc said if I end up there again with contractions he most likely will have to deliver them. I've felt so good these past few days. I will keep you all posted if anything changes.

I hope all you ladies are doing well and we are all getting so close! And I hope our eager babies wait a while before making their appearance!

Sisi - So glad to hear that Mason is doing great. Hopefully you're doing much better too.

That sounds like an amazing baby shower!

hayley - Unfortunately that's one of the side effects of iron. It can make you sick if you don't eat it with a meal.

Hopefully you're doing better with the iron now

Marietta - Wow that would be a bit of a scare. Hopefully everything's okay with you and baby now
