I have started to feel excitement too... My initial panic and feeling overwhelmed has mostly subsided and I'm now feeling grateful, hopeful and excited.
To be honest, I do still have some moments of panic. This week, we had a bleeding episode that landed us at the OB for our first appointment earlier than originally scheduled. I had an u/s to see the babies and they were moving all around - kicking and dancing. They both measured-in at 10w0days, so the doctor moved-up my due date to Oct 30, meaning we'll deliver NLT Oct 9.
Why am I so sure it'll be NLT Oct 9? Because through this process, we also found out that Baby A has a placenta previa, posterior and complete. Baby A wants to be just like Libby Day... It's not going to be easy carrying twins to 37 weeks with a previa, but I am hopeful. I have a wonderful OB and will be seeing a maternal fetal specialist to get me through this high-risk pregnancy. And there's still a chance as my uterus grows that the placenta could clear from the cervix. No matter what, I'll get through this with lots of rest and team effort!
Baby A's heart rate was 166 bpm
Baby B's heart rate was 164 bpm
Here are some pictures from the u/s of the little cuties - the size of prunes going into this week!
With medication, my sickness is under control and my energy levels are higher, for which I am so grateful. My belly is certainly rounding and I'm going to "show" much earlier this time around. I suspect my body already know where to move things given we have been through this twice already.
