Mom of twins? I have alot of questions for you! :)?
So I went to an utrasound today, and I found out I was pregnant with twins! Im 13 weeks along and very excited.. but I have so many questions!!
How old are your twins now? What week in your pregnancy did you deliver them? Did you have a natural birth or c-section? How much weight did you gain? When did you find out the genders? How many ultrasounds did you have? Did you have any complications? What were the first few weeks like? How much did your little angels weigh at birth?
Also anything else you would like to add is very much appreciated! Thanks so much for answering! 🙂
Michelle answers:
Okay here goes LOL
My twins are 6 1/2 years old
I delivered them at 31weeks 6days
C Section
48 lbs
I found out the genders at 18 weeks (Identical twin boys)
I had tons of ultrasounds (due to complications)
I had a lot of complications
1st month, my kids were in the NICU, had to run back and forth to the hospital and home
Kaleb weighed 3 lbs 10 oz
Kurt weighed 3 lbs 14 oz
Hope this helps. Oh,and just to ease your mind, I had lots of complications but my cousin who also had twins 10 months after me didn’t have any problems. She had hers at 35 weeks I believe, they were in the NICU for a few days and she had a vaginal birth. So, just enjoy. Twins are so much fun.

Paul asks…
What are my chances of carrying a healthy baby fullterm ?
Okay so here is the deal…. I am almost 26 years old and I have both Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Endometritis in the last 6 years I have had 4 pregnancy the first pregnancy was a first term natural miscarriage in 2002, second one was a first term missed abortion and the doctor had to do a D&C in 2005, my 3rd pregnancy I could not get pregnant on my own and had to take a gondatrophin Gonal F….I found out I was pregnant the 2nd cycle everything was looking wonderful until I hit 21 weeks when they could not catch any facial images of the baby….they did a 3-D ultrasound and it showed clefting of the upper and lower cleft palate, absence of the nose, left eye didn’t form although he did have two eye sockets and they had me do an MRI to check to see that the babys brain was growing correctly…which they said the MRI showed wasn’t so I had to make the hardest decision of my life whether to bring my son into this world as a vegetable with several surgeries in his future as well as possible blindness, cerebaral palsy or mental retardation for my own self reason of wanting a child so very badly or have my labor induced at 5 mnths of pregnancy and let him rest in peace with no pain in his future….so I gave birth to my son in Dec. 2007 letting him fly in Heaven as an Angel to God….I again failed to pregnant on my own and this time had been put on a human dna Gondatrophin Menopur and got pregnant the first cycle….my HCG levels looked awesome really high but when I went for my 8 wk ultrasound the baby had no heartbeat….I miscarried on my own Aug. 2008 — I would of been 13 weeks along. What I don’t get is why I can’t carry a baby to full term… they have done all these DNA test on both my husband and I and they say there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn’t be able to carry a baby to full term as we are both compatiable. So what are my chances of carrying a healthy baby fullterm….should I give up hope of ever becoming a mother?

Michelle answers:
Wow! First i wanted to tell you how sorry i am for you, having to go thru what you have…i have PCOS as well, and i don’t think it can cause the physical abnormalities that your lil angel had…but i am not sure…i think that was just one of those things that happens and unfortunately it happened to you… I tried to conceive for 10 years with no success, until i met a docor who diagnosed me with PCOS and put me on Metformin and Clomid to get pregnant…it worked after only two cycles… I gave birth to a healthy baby boy 3 years ago…a nd then as fate would have it, i became pregnant all on my own with identical twins, due in april. So no, please don’t give up hope, ever! You will have the baby you were meant to have, you just haven’t gotten there yet… Waiting for it is the hard part… But when you finally have your baby, it will be the most wanted baby that was ever born! 🙂

Ruth asks…
Boob question…..prob TMI..please help me out and tell me what you think?
ok..there a very good chance i could be pregnant right now but it is too early to test. So, I was wondering….I have very big blue/green/purple looking veins on my boobs, my nipples/areolas are brown and i can see the veins clearly though them. My boobs are also very achy when i touch them. I am 7-10DPO. Im not sure if theyve gotten bigger bc i am already a d cup, maybe a little heavier.
Would there be any reason this would happen if I wasn’t pregnant?
(back story…Had a natural miscarriage at 5 weeks on oct 5 no D&C HCG was less than 2 days later, felt like I ovulated around the 24, it was my second pregnancy, i also have a 2.5 yr old)
Michelle answers:
Well not ever having boob problems myself, I have it on good authority from others that there are many reasons for boobs doing as you described. Everything from your cycle to water retension can cause the symtoms. Also bare in mind where you just miscarried your body is going through a type of post pregnancy. So there is a possibility they could just be swollen mamery glands. Which is more indicative to post pregnancy rather then first stages of pregnancy. Typically it takes a couple of months of pregnancy before breasts begin to have pregnancy symtoms

James asks…
How you do Natual birth with your baby?

Natural
Pitocin
epidural
just for future references.
Natural childbirth is crazy if you ask me. How about getting a book from the library, it’s free.
Good luck!
