Mama is scared.
I’m 15 weeks along with these babies. I have secretly been fearful for them since Day One. I have been so afraid that something bad would happen to one or both of them.
Today I noticed something "not quite right" (an icky discharge from my cootchie, if you must know). Being a Sunday afternoon, all I could do was place a call to the answering service at the OB’s office. Luckily, my favorite Nurse Practitioner was on call…and called back in RECORD time. She tried to "talk me down" and since I was nervous, she promised to leave a message for the Triage Nurses to call me Monday about an appointment. She’ll see to it that I get checked out for possible infection, get the fetal heart tones, etc.
All I can do is wait.
And of course…freak myself out. Every little quirk of my body sends my mind spinning. Do I have a fever? Is it cold in here or do I have the chills? Was that a baby kick? How come I’m not feeling kicks on the other side?
Dear God, please protect these babies. Please.
*************
I had a fitful sleep last night. When I was fully awake, I was nauseaous. And headachey b/c it is fixin’ to rain today.
At 8:15 this morning, the Triage Nurse was already calling me back. They will see me (us, since I will be dragging all the kids along with me) at 9:45 this mornng.
Time to get the crew dressed.
Please keep the babies in your thoughts this morning, ok? Thanks.

I will never forget the day I thought I had miscarried Sam. The wait to know everything was okay was impossibly long. Everything was okay though! An despite my worrying and freaking- he was okay. Try to stay calm, be easy on yourself- and remember- think positive!!

I got a bacterial infection, followed by two yeast infections when I first got pregnant w/twins. The hormones are just more intense – it’s to be expected. And I’ve only been feeling kicks on the left side since I could feel kicks at all. I believe it’s because my placenta is on the front right. I researched it online, and a ton of twin mommies say that they only felt it on one side for a whilein the beginning, or that one twin was more active throughout the pregnancy. Hang in there, and try not to stress!

RYN: No problem – I have a hard time sometimes, too! But it’s so important to stay relaxed and positive. Studies have shown a direct correlation between stress and preterm labor in twin pregnancies. Swimming is definitely a big help for me, as well as daily baths. I know there’s a ton of controversy about bathing while pregnant, but I just make sure it’s not too hot, and don’t stay in very long.<P> Have you found out whether they’re fraternal or identical?
