Pregnant Mama Roll Call!

[Molliejo]

32 weeks with twins here. Feeling wonderful except for some pretty wicked carpal tunnel at night and gross heartburn, also at night.

How about you?? I would love to know how many pregnant mamas we have on here!

[Valerieg]

I'm due just a few days before you! I had no problems until last Wednesday when I started getting itchy- I think I may have PUPPP.

Great idea! I knew some people here were PG...I just didn't know who or how far along.

36 weeks here. Experiencing insomnia, itchiness, and heartburn. Good times! Still living life, working, and chasing after my older 2, though.

That is so wonderful! (The part about the still feeling good enough to be able to run after you other two, that is)

Can an 8 weeker join you?

Just found out on Thursday

[attached2mason]

I'm here too . 20 weeks and counting

Freeman, I'm so impressed that you are still working - holy cow!

My plan is to start taking holidays etc at 32 weeks and then starting my mat leave whenever babies arrive.

40 wks, 3 days ... I'm so ready to have them out. I have been trying natural induction methods for over a week, but no luck. They must like it in there!

I almost never post, but I try to peek at the multiples forum whenever I get a chance. I'm 19 weeks, due at the very end of May.

I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. Still adjusting to the news (found out yesterday) but super excited to be pregnant again! Twin pregnancy is certainly a different animal- I'm way more tired and huge compared to when I was pregnant with DS.

nlhousewifey - congrats on your twins!!! Having done IVF myself, I am always overjoyed to see it work for others too . Finding out you are carrying twins is overwhelming for sure, but it is nice to find out early - more time to digest and adjust .

I just found out today that I'm having 2 boys . I thought I would feel disappointed if there wasn't a girl growing in there because we will not be having more children after these two, but I am so very happy. I can't wait to meet my boys

I'm 25 weeks with my bambinos. I'm feeling really good just more tired the days after my yoga classes. We don't know what we're having but my gut tells me one of each. Baby B is head down but baby A is up. I hope this kid turns around and stays down.

It's awesome to see the 36 week and 40 week mommas here!

Hi!
Almost 25 weeks here with boy/girl twins, and we have a 4yo DS. I just found out last week that there are two babies. I am so excited half the time, and in terrified shock the other half of the time. I feel like we don't have very long to adjust to this news. Anybody found favorite books about twin pregnancy, birth, and infancy?
Also, I'm making an effort to boost my protein intake. Finding it tricky to get enough each day. MW suggested protein shakes, but has anyone found a good one that doesn't have soy protein isolate?
Anyway, glad to have found this thread! Thank you for starting it, Molliejoe. Here's to good health for all of us mamas and twins!

Congrats - I cant believe you just found out! wow!
I eat lots of eggs, nuts, chicken, yogurt, string cheese & cottage cheese, milk, a little tuna etc. pretty much I eat a protein with every snack & meal. I havent bought any twin books yet. I did read Dr Lukes book for growing big babies though. She list these types of protein shakes but I have no idea if they are soy or not: E.nsure, R.eSource, S.ustacal, D.eliver2.0, T.woCalHN

Hi everyone!
37 weeks with twin girls. Feeling impatient...but know I should let it happen when it happens. Definitely struggling with the lack of sleep, carpal tunnel, and pelvic pain...but hanging in there! These are our first babies and we're hoping for an intervention-free, natural birth. Baby A is vertex and Baby B is breech...in case anyone is wondering.

32 weeks with boy/girl twins here! All's good except it hurts to sit, stand, or lay down I can't wait to meet these babies (when they're ready), and looking forward to a natural hospital birth using Hypnobabies!

[RSG]

Hi, I'm Rachel. 31 weeks and 4 days with di/di twins. Not sure of gender; but feeling like it's maybe girl/boy? I feel pretty good - super swollen ankles, very fatigued and huge... but good! I'm working for 9 more days (yep, counting down too) and am looking forward to *only* taking care of my two-year-old.

[Valerieg]

It is so great to see all the twin mamas!!!!

noralou- I love Shaklee Whey Vanilla, it doesn't have any soy in it and tastes like a lightweight vanilla milkshake. It's pretty yummy! I try to have one everyday. Mmmmm....

It's hard to get all that protein.
