I posted pics on my blog if anyone wants to see..... dannerandsawyer.blogspot.com I had my peri appt t...

Hi Charr....I took Procardia from week 16 on due to contractions. My babies had no complications due to this medication. It is prescribed often to stop contractions. I also had no side effects from it either. Good luck.

Hi Ladies. I have 16 month old twins and expecting a singleton in Oct. I have recently gotten rid of my toyota highlander and got a Honda Odessey. I never never never wanted a mini van. I would have preferred to have a 3 row SUV, but I must say I love the van. It is absolutely perfect for moms. Hand...

Hi. Congrats on your twins. We did not co-sleep our twins. They were premature and spent time in the nicu. And the nicu no longer cosleeps twins either. One came home before the other. We tried a pack n play next to our bed and were going to use that for both of them for a while, but they were used ...

Mellie~ Congrats on the twins. I am a big fan of seeing a peri (specialist) for twins. In NC twins are considered high risk and so you are automatically set up to see one. Luckily for me they caught a short cervix and contractions at 16 weeks with my twin pregnancy. Thankfully I made it to 34 weeks....

Hi Ladies. Hope all is well with the mommies-to-be. I am good. Dr appt was fine this week. Baby is measuring 3.4 pounds....so in the 80th percentile. Sounds big, huh. Everything was measuring 2 weeks ahead which very well may be the case since I didnt have normal periods and wasnt sure of my due dat...

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is well and hanging in there. Summerbaby~How is your week of checking your bloodlevels? Hope all is well with that and it isnt GD. My twins 15 months old. Shelly~ I am sure you will go before 38 weeks. Usually with twins there will be a cause for them to induce/c-sct early. ...

HI Ladies. I have been MIA lately. Staying busy with the twins. They are keeping me running. I am seeing the Peri every few weeks for a cervix check and growth check. So far so good on my cervix. Yesterday I had the growth check for the baby (still going with surprise for sex). It is already up to 2...

Hi. Sorry to hear about the drama. It totally sucks. But I can promise you that you can carry these babies to term. BUT you will have to be strict about the bedrest. I am surprised that it is modified bedrest at this point. Just think of the babies and realize that you can do this for them. I know i...

They can tell if you are having contractions by hooking you up to a machine. Not painful...kinda like a little pad that goes on your belly and measures the movement. Are you seeing a Peri? I know most have those in their offices and I would definitely ask to see if they can check you for contraction...

Hi. I had the same issue with my twins. At my 16 week appt my cervix had shortened to 2.7. I was put on modified bedrest....meaning mainly no work and taking it easy off my feet for the most part. I had it rechecked a few days later and it was still around the same, but I was having contractions (wh...

Hi Ladies, I know I have missing in action for a while, been extremely busy and really nothing new to report from me. I did have my first ob appt on Friday. It went fine. They didn't do an u/s, just hb check. But they said they wont be doing u/s since I will be seeing the peri that I will just get a...
