Twin Mommies!

Congrats Maryke! So happy for you!

How's all the twin mommies doing today???

Maryke - my twins are also clomid babies! l.o.l. We TTC for 2 years with lots of problems (cancer cells on my cervix, cysts, ovulation problems etc). Luckily I was fortunate and never went through a MC. It was just on BFN after the other. But today I look back and smile that God chose to bless me with two babies at once. And I looooove every second of being a twin mommy! Nothing beats the experience!

Finally I have mental clarity to post something! Went to my doc today for my 32 week check up. Received that darn injection! It didn't burn as much as a voltaren injection. 2 weeks ago LB weighed 1660g and today he weighs 2199g, that's a weight gain of 548g in 2 weeks. LG weighed 1546g and today she weighs 2055g, a weight gain of 514g or somewhere around there. I think it is pretty amazing. I'm glad that they won't have low birth weights, Dylan weighed 3,3kg at birth. I was so scared that I would break off a limb or something. Since the uterus has a capacity of 6kg I accept that they won't weigh 3kg each. Each have their own sac and placenta, that has to weigh quite a bit too I think! I feel like a bus ran me over (back spasms, uterus cramps, heartburn, fatique), want to chew off my wrists!
I've gained 12kg so far. But I have been at the same weight for the past 6 weeks... Does that mean that I've actually lost weight?

Congrats Maryke! You don't have to apologise for long posts! We're looking forward to hearing from you as your pregnancy progresses!

I want to add that you should eat lots of protein to ensure that... but I don't have the energy to be crucified. Anyway, my son will have his 5th b-day on the 18th, so there is a big brother in the picture. Does anyone know what weight for twins is considered to be big? Just asking... I realise that I should try to keep them inside for as long as possible! Oh, their names will be Zak and Nikki. We have booked a bed for June 17 (36weeks is at June 11). Will be having a ceaserean. Both babies are lying with their heads just below mommie's heart! What a wonderful thought!!! They've been lying 69 for most of the pregnancy, this is a first with their heads together. Maybe they are giving each other kisses. Don't think the can hug ...yet!

Thanks Moomie! It's wonderful to have a platform where I can lay my eggs again! And shame on Pampers for messing with something that wasn't broken.

Hi Twintastic

Fraternal correct me if I am wrong they both in there own little sac I have been using the 50mg clomid for 6 months and then the 7th month we decided to do a iui so the doc put us on 100mg clomid but by the time we had to do out iui my gyne was on leave so I said to hubby o well we have to do it natural and I tell you it was big stresses last month we started fighting about it I said to him if I don't get my bfp this month being april I am done then we only have one child and just as I thought nah I am out for the count a little voice said just do a poas test and see and I done it four days before my af was due and it came up positive I promise you for a whole week everyday I done a poas untill I could get my bloods done and voila twins!

sorry for the long post

Maryke - Welcome!!! And Congrats!!! You are in for the journey of a life time and the most amazing experience.

My twins are already 17 months old but I've been chatting on the Pampers Forum since my pregnancy and recently moved over to moomie. I also find out at my 6 week u/s that we are expecting twins.

Tell me:

1. Did you conceive them naturally or with the help of treatment?
2. Are they fraternal or identical?

Happy chatting!!!
