Pregnancy Info HOME

Yeah, I always thought that if both babies were head down = vaginal birth, any other positions = c-section. I guess in my Ob's experience the 2nd twin frequently has difficulties (i.e. turning into a tough position or going into distress) after the 1st baby has been born, putting the 2nd baby in danger of trauma during birth, so c-section is often the end result anyway. He said 2nd or 3rd time mothers can sometimes do vaginal births because they tend to be easier (joints are looser, etc.). He is an older, catholic, conservative man and I can't imagine he would be the type to make this stuff up. They say they will let me go into labor naturally and then do the c-section. In the end I don't really care as long as I have 2 healthy babies, and if the odds are better doing a c-section, I will suck it up and do it :)

I agree! As long as they get here healthy who cares how they have to come out :)

How is everyone doing? This thread has been quiet lately :(

We had a scare this weekend when I had a tiny bit of pink spotting for no apparent reason. The nurses reassured me that it's probably just from overexertion (all I did was lug around a bunch of grocery bags!) and just to rest as much as possible. I feel like such an invalid! At least the babies seem to be doing well - they are kicking up a storm lately.

Hope you all are enjoying your pregnancies!

mm28 - Take it easy and get some rest! Easier said than done, I know.

I am doing really good, starting to very faintly get that dark line under your belly button button. Feeling pretty hormonal and whiny today - my hubby thinks it funny. Still waiting for Thursday to get my u/s. This has been the slowest week ever!! LOL

Well its undeniably 2 boys!!! I had some candy before my appt to make sure they were moving around and it worked. They are measuring perfect, my fluid is perfect, cervix is perfect - I am SO SO excited. Dylan James is 11 ounces and Connor Joseph is 10 ounces.

Ashley that is soo exciting - congrats on the boys! I guess our theory of all girls on the November thread has been proved wrong! :) You will have so much fun with them.

I was knocked out with a cold all weekend, no July 4th celebrations for me. My in-laws came into town to help us set up the crib, move some furniture, etc. Everything is starting to fall into place and it's feeling much more real now :)

I cant wait to get a nursery together!! My father in law has Parkinsons disease and is getting pretty bad. He has some acerage so we are building a house out there to be able to help him. So I dont even have a nursery to get ready :( I have started looking at stuff though - that will be the 1st room that gets painted, etc :)

I think we are right around the same number of weeks (19w3d) can I ask how much weight you have gained? I am having a hard time accepting my weight gain.......

I'm the same number of weeks and have gained 20 pounds already!

I'm 21w3d and I've gained about 15 pounds. AND - the nurses/doctors keep telling me to gain more weight! I'm a little afraid of what will happen if I keep gaining 2 lbs/week....ack!
