being monitored. listening to both babies heartbeats and hard kicks. just one more month and 2 1/2 weeks to get to 36 weeks. not far at all. I'm so excited to see my little babies. can't wait to see those little faces. little hands, little feet.
@ftmommieoftwiinz, I get that same here. I know it's only gonna get worse for me. because I still have 1 1/2 months left. when I get my contractions during walking, it's got the point I have to stop walking and hold my stomach. definitely bad when you gotta pee. it would easier if we always had a cart or something to hold on to while walking. I thought about getting a support belt. but I heard it puts more pressure on your bladder. I might have to try it out though. since your so close you won't have to carrying all that weight much longer.
those are good weights! yeah I was told 4.5lbs is the min weight requirement to take home twins..its been a struggle..as they get heavier my body starts to hurt a lot more..I can't walk longer than 15 mins withough my hips and back start hurting then I start getting contractions :(
@ftmommieoftwiinz, if been told by my doctor 37 weeks is full term. same with what I've ready. 34-37 weeks is premature. and anything before 34 weeks is preemie premature. I think that's what it's called. and it goes down from there. They have really great weights. my doctor told me if my babies are 4 1/2 lbs I can take them home. I really hope I'm in the same boat as you. my babies still have really great fluid and I hope so all the way up to my delivery. I definitely hope to get to 36 weeks. I was told with twins their usually born between 32-38 weeks depending on the circumstances. my doctor want me delivered at 36 weeks for the safety of the babies, since their in separate sacs and share a placenta. bad things can happen if they stay in too long. the placenta can start to deteriorate. or still births. very scary things.
well I'm a little confused on what they consider full term since I'm.only 32 weeks now..some say 34..36 or 37.. I don't know how much they weigh anymore.. I find out Tuesday for sure..but I do know they are over 4.5lbs by now..I heard they start losing space also! that's when it really gets difficult..right now I guess they have enough room. but I know they are starting to get cramped
@ftmommieoftwiinz, from what I've been reading the start losing space in their sacs. as that happened with you, or do they still have plenty of room? how much do they weigh so far?
@beauti22, thank you!!! @shannaa24 no I was in l&d on weds though..they have me monitoring them 2xs a week now checking their fluid breathing heartbeats and movement.. Tuesday I have my 2nd growth scan..they scheduled me June 2nd for my csection as long as my bp doesnt get super high..I will be 37 weeks then
@ftmommieoftwiinz, cute. are you at the hospital right now too? how is everything going with you and the babies? yea they've definitely had to use four straps and tie them down. babies jump around like crazy when stuff is pushing down on them. It's pretty nice though. I enjoy their kicks and listening to their heartbeats. I could fall asleep to them.
