Hello, all my old friends!!!!!!! I can't believe I found many of you in one place- Smita, Kim, Jacky, Little P- this is great. I'm sorry I slowed down on my postings, but I spent much of my pregnancy a little scared and some in the hospital, so was tormenting people on the twins boards.

I am happy ...

Thank you all for the good wishes! I stopped back in to see how all of my old virtual friends are doing, and am so happy to see all the new arrivals to all of my "old virtual friends"!

I had my twin girls (Lilia Faith and Sophia Noelle) on December 14th at 34w5d. My water broke on the 13th 2 hours ...

Smita- it has been a long time since I posted, but wanted to wish you and others the best for your labor and your first days with baby!

My twin girls (Lilia and Sophia) came on Dec. 14th at 35 weeks and came home on Christmas Day. We are doing great. For all of you still waiting- the first days ...

Hi all-

Been awhile since I posted, decided to pop in for a quick update. We got through Rita okay (I'm in Houston), but it was scary for awhile. I go for a scan tomorrow (24.5 weeks) to make sure the twins are growing okay, same size, etc. I have been put on the home uterine activity monitor, as ...

Didn't know how to copy/paste, could you add me?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

What a good idea to put the roster of us up so that we can all keep track of each other.

Kim- I was also wondering where Mil is. I know she works down here at the medical center in Houston and we have been swamped with people from New Orleans. I had to wait 2.5 hours at my last ...

HM- So sorry to hear about the need for the procedure. The only thing I can tell you is not to worry about the procedure itself in terms of discomfort and pain. My sister-in-law had to reduce triplets, as she has an incompetent cervix that scared everyone, and she said the actual procedure is not ...

Olivia- Congrats on your pregnancy! I can totally empathize with you. I was so sick for soooo long that I accused my husband of hiding some terminal illness diagnosis from me- it just seemed impossible that I could not be dying.

Here is what worked for me: 1) Sea-Bands (which I see didn't touch it ...

Hi Ladies!

My husband had to leave town for work, so I was deposited with my dad, who doesn't have the best internet access, so have just been catching up with everyone.

Smita- I just got my first internal last week, which basically consisted of the doc prodding around on my cervix with his hand ...

Wow! I am impressed at how many of you can stand the wait. I was so miserable and anxious during the two 2wws that we went through, that I think it used up my patience.

We actually asked last scan (at 16 weeks)- because it is twins I get scanned all the time. We now "know" that we have at least one ...

Carlac- I was convinced I was terminally ill because I was so sick with my twins! The thing that worked for me were Sea-Bands- I was really skeptical, but my husband put them on me (I couldn't even lift my head up) and I was functional within 2 minutes. They didn't make the nausea completely go away ...

Hi Ladies (and babies)-

Just wanted to check in, it has been a long time since I posted. I had a cerclage placed 2 weeks ago (where your cervix is stitched)- mostly for peace of mind, as this is twins and my uterus is, as they say, "untried." I have suspicions that I was exposed to DES in utero ...

Mil- now I am outraged! That woman was rude. That is the weird thing with IVF pregnancies- it is like the stimulation took us past several weeks of not showing into pregnancy world, isn't it? I'm sure you look great- have fun with the bump!

Little P- I have tears in my eyes. You are so right- there is an excellent reason to keep going. I just think about all that we all have been through, with the worries at every darn step and just seems like fairness is hard to come by sometimes. You and Sher amaze me with your strength. Now, hurry ...

Kim and Mil- thank you for your outrage on my behalf! I am certainly feeling better about the whole thing, and chalk it up to youth and insecurity on the doc's part. Still, that is the last time I'm dealing with him. Little did he know that he sparked an international scandal.

Mil- I am also ...
