We had our first Doctor check-up since finding out that we are having TWINS! It went very very good. My Doctor was rather surprised when he looked at my file and had to take double takes at all the paperwork and notes. He was amazed that I have been and continue to measure up to carrying a single baby, rather than twins. He said....it must be your height and YES I do have the extra room to carry :) I am right on track at 20 weeks and all checked out great...
Some info we learned...I will start to have an ultrasound every month from now on and then start having check-ups every 2 weeks after our next appointment in 4 weeks. The keep a close eye on the growth of Twins; making sure the amniotic fluids and gestational sacks are at the levels where they should be. They check the growth of each Twin to make sure they are at the same rate and one is not stealing all the nutrients.
Twin pregnancies are normally pre-term pregnancies, so having TWINS at 36 weeks is very common. You know what that means....we have lots to keep us busy until June, which is a great thing :)
We have started house shopping, hoping to find something before the TWINS arrive. All is going great and we are sooooo excited to meet these two little blessings that will enter our lives!
Hope all is well with each one of you and we look forward to posting the next TWINS update! Here are are few photo's of the growing Babies Bump at 20 Weeks :)
