anyone due early feb?

[brooklynmum]

Hi, I'm due Feb 6 (40 wks) and was looking for others due around the same time. How are you all feeling? I am getting so big and can't imagine what I'll be like in January! I've also been having some contractions and am taking it easy. Would love to hear from others in the same boat.

[HopeNFaith]

Hi,

I'm almost 17 weeks and due in late Feb (40 weeks). I can't believe how much I'm growing already either. I feel good, but tired.

Are you on bedrest? I was for half the summer because of bleeding I had. But all seems good now.

What have they done about the contractions? Any meds? Can you tell you are having a contraction? These are my first babies and I'm worried about pre-term labor, but I really don't know what a contraction would feel like other than having it described as your whole stomach getting hard and possible lower back pain.

Do you know what you're having? We find out three weeks from now.

Feel good and take it easy!

[brooklynmum]

Hi! Glad to hear you're feeling well. I'm not on bedrest. I was just told to 'take it easy'. No long walks, heavy lifting, etc. I'm not having as many now, so things are looking good. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I had contractions all the way through the first pregnancy and was on bedrest for 3 months- yuck. Also taking Brethine (medication for contractions). It all worked out fine- Julia was born at 39 wks. I didn't know what the contractions were at first. I think they're different for everyone, but my belly would tighten and I would feel a lot of pressure, almost like someone was squeezing my abdomen. Pleasant, right?

We're having 2 more girls! I can't believe- 3 all together.

Where in NY are you? It's awful about your bedrest- are you off now? It's really not any fun.

Take care!

[HopeNFaith]

Yes, off bedrest now. I teach and was able to go back to work two weeks ago, but am supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible and no lifting.

We live on Long Island. But will probably be moving after the babies are born. Can't afford to be a stay-at-home mom here!

[twoinoven]

Hi,
I am due with twins Feb. 11. Had placenta previa which has moved (YAY!) at last ultrasound, had scary bleeding and a retroplacental hemmhorage in July. Better now. I can feel the babies squirming around and I get nervous when I can't feel that. Are you feeling movement yet? I have one son, four and a half years old.
I was born in Huntington Long Island and grew up in Riverhead! Live in Colorado now!

[brooklynmum]

So weird- I was born in Huntington too! And I grew up there. I'm in Brooklyn now.

HopeNFaith, Long Island is rediculously expensive. We're trying to figure out now where we'll live. We only have a 2 BR apt, so we'll have to move soon after the babies come, which I'm sure will not be easy. I used to teach before my daughter was born- kindergarten. It must be so hard to stay off your feet.

I'm feeling the babies move, but not all the time. My husband still hasn't felt them kick. I still can't believe how big I am already. It's like how I was at 28 wks with my first pregnancy!

Do either of you have any good twin books to recommend? I have the Dr Luke book, but am looking for others also.

[twoinoven]

Brooklyn,
I have gotten several good books from the library. One is Having Twins by Elizabeth Noble. Another is Mothering Twins by five different mothers who tell of their experiences from "hearing the news to the terrible twos", It's loaded with advice etc.
I used to clean houses and now just babysit for the kindergartner whose mom took over for me, and I am finding it extremely hard to get in a nap and rest daily, actually impossible most days. From what I read on this site and in most of the books I am planning to slow way down and insist on getting the rest I need soon! The doctor says it is not to prevent preterm labor, but to give the babies every bit of nutrition etc. that my body can give them, if I am not resting, they don't get as much.
I have a hard time setting boundaries and saying 'no' to people who ask me to do things so I hope I can have the courage to follow through on this!

[brooklynmum]

twoinoven, Thanks for the book recommendations. I am also having a REALLY hard time slowing down. Dont really know how to handle it! Do you have other children? I don't know how to not give my toddler 100% of my energy. I've been thinking about hiring someone to help, but I'm really struggling with the decision. My little one is so active and wants to go out everyday. Still trying to figure out how to handle the rest of the pregnancy.

I'm going to check those books out- thanks!

[HopeNFaith]

How neat to find two other Long Island ladies! I grew up in Oakdale, now live in Southold.

Brooklynmum, I'm an elementary school band teacher. Got the okay to go back to work, but wish I didn't have to. Find it hard to eat and drink enough while working! I'm worried I'm not gaining enough weight.

Twininoven, my best friend moved to Denver a couple years ago. Still haven't gotten to visit her. Guess that won't be for a while longer now!

I also have Dr. Luke's book, but no others so I'll have to look into the ones twininoven recommended.

Can you both feel the babies? I feel just a little flutter on one side every so often. I'm anxious to feel some good kicks from both babies!

In two weeks we find out the sexes. Did either of you find out ahead of time?

Hope you're both doing well!

[twoinoven]

I'm blessed that my four year old will still lay down and take a nap with me, but on days that he just won't settle, he can put a movie on in his room and let me sleep a bit. I am still not getting a nap every day though. The doctor said at 28 weeks I would need to stop everything, I need to ask him if this means driving and babysitting too. I guess if it doesn't, I am going to have to really assert myself about resting during the day for at least three hours with my feet up. ( I think he said three in morning and three in afternoon!)
I am trying to remember when my son was a toddler how I got him to calm down about going out so much, I think just got him to nap with me. I'm afraid I rely alot on movies now, we don't have cable, and he only gets to watch PBS cartoons some days, but those two hour movies on tape make for a good rest for Mommy!
I am feeling fluttery movement too, heard a few kicks when the midwife was listening for heartbeats with doppler. I have another U/S on the 29th so hopefully will find out sexes! I am having trouble with names!
I have to tell you that I finally found a good NY pizza place out here in Colorado, it only took 7 years!
OH, about weight gain, I gained 8, lost 4 and put back on 3! Started to drink Boost high protein drinks, they are lactose free!

[Psalm 86:12]

New to board and am expecting twin boys. I have gained 16 pounds thus far and my feet and ankles have been swelling like balloons. My 3 yo son told me yesterday that you are getting bigger Momma.

I have been trying to drink lots of water and make it a point to rest everyday for at least an hour.

I have three other sons, a dear angel in Heaven, and am very excited to be expecting twin boys. There isn't anything quite like a bunch of great guys. At times I am terribly outnumbered but enjoy being taken very good care of...

I have been enjoying reading everyone's posts and am greatful for the opportunity to share.

[brooklynmum]

Welcome Ann! Looks like I'm the BIG mamma of the group- definitely gained at least 20 lbs already. I really can't believe it. My appetite has slowed quite a bit in the last weeks though.

I just picked up the Multiple Pregnancy Sourcebook from the bookstore, but am pretty unhappy with it. It's kind of vague and doesn't go into good detail. It just touches on each topic. Guess I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm definitely feeling kicks these days. Especially at night.

Are you all planning on breastfeeding? I want to, but I'm having such a hard time imagining how we'll manage it!

[twoinoven]

I am planning on breastfeeding, my local parent's of multiples club had a meeting planned on breastfeeding twins and I, having pregnant brain, got the nights wrong and missed it! They said don't worry, they will do another one before I deliver!
I breastfed my son for 3 and a half years so hopefully this will help with trying to do two! Makes sense when you think about it, two babies, two breasts, why not! Although, honestly, I know it will be a challenge and take time to get used to. I have heard that the hardest part is positioning number two after number one is latched on.
Psalm 86:12, I am due Feb. 11, and planning to homeschool too.

[twoinoven]

Just had an ultrasound today and both babies are measuring the same, both head down and boy/girl!! One had been head up, I hope they stay head down. It was so cute, they were leg wrestling in there, you could see them pummeling each other through the membrane! Feeling lots of movement now, and they are right up under my ribs already, nowhere to go now but OUT in front!

[mamalooshus]

I'm 19 1/2 weeks pregnant with twin boys (due 2/22/04) and a 3 year old son at home. It was triplets at first but we lost one at 9 1/2 weeks. It was sad at first, but I think God has a good plan for us, b/c I don't know how I'd have done it!

I have had no problems with my pregnancy so far but have heard plenty of preterm labor horror stories. I had edema with my first and think I'm starting to show signs-- pink speckled calves and puffiness where my sock line is. I am working full time until the babies come, so no time for naps except on weekends. I will probably quit my job and stay home. I plan to pump and supplement the babies b/c I didn't make much milk with my first.

I think I've gained about 18 lbs. as of my last appt but probably more by now... I have just popped out pretty big in the last week. I feel some fluttering at night before bed but not a ton of movement yet. I do not really pay much attention to my appetite- I never miss a meal or snack! My doc said to eat a ton of protein, so I try and also drink milk. I crave and probably eat too many sweets- I have PCOS so am a bit insulin resistant. I walk whenever I find time and do prenatal yoga. I am worried about outgrowing my normal maternity clothes near the end which I hear is common! My OB says he will probably put me on bedrest around 30 weeks (mid-Dec.) but the perinatologist said it may not even be necessary; we'll play it by ear!

Hope to meet some other gals near my due date!

[HopeNFaith]

Hi Mamalooshus,

I am due Feb. 23 so we could be delivering right about the same time. I'm also working for now, but will quit in December some time.

Hope all continues to go well for you and look forward to seeing you around the boards.

Maria

[mamalooshus]

Hi to you too, Maria. I am planning on working from home or being on bedrest by mid-December, according to my doctor. We already have an almost 3 year old son so I do not plan to go back to work. I was 3 days late with him and he was almost 9 lbs., so I hope I am lucky to carry these twins until mid January at least.

Do you know what you're having? We are having 2 boys. I was pg with triplets but we lost one at 9 1/2 weeks. But I think I will carry these two longer and they'll be healthier now.

Nice to meet you- talk to you soon!

[twoinoven]

Hi Feb Moms!
I spent last night in the hospital, last ultrasound showed my cervix shortened and funneling. Dr. was going to do a cerclage but then decided to moniter for contractions overnight. Did another US this morning, 2.5 cm. Sent me home on bedrest and weekly US cervical measuring but looks stable for now. I did have some BH and cramping but they don't think that is why the cervix is short. So I am going to go look for the bedrest support thread. I will check back periodically!

[twoinoven]

Hi all!
Had another cervical measurement done yesterday and it shows between 2.7 and 2.8 by the same tech as last time, she said the funneling looked much better too! Saw the doctor today and I am on strict bedrest 'indefinately'. Seeing the improvement makes it easier to do. Plus the BH have almost disappeared, only if I take a shower and move alot. Babies are very active, I thought I was having a BH tonight and Baby A was stretching waaaaay out my side, must be getting cramped in there already!
I can't believe I am on bedrest already at 22 weeks! But the doc said I could take the occasional 'fall outing' like to a local nursery for pumpkins etc if I get a wheelchair to use.
How are all you other ladies doing?
My appetite has picked up, unfortunately at the same time that my stomach has no room, and the heartburn is baaaaad! But I love laying here and stroking my belly, they must know it because they seem to move alot when I do that, almost like a cat when you pet it!

[jerseytwins]

Hi,

I'm the father of twins and just found this board. I'll tell my wife to respond soon. We're in New Jersey close to NYC and just found out yesterday at our first sonogram that we're having twins. We're still frankly in shock and our due date is Feb. 28.

[twoinoven]

Jerseytwins!
Welcome and congratulations. This is the place for info and support. I have learned that on these boards, there is no such thing as a stupid question! Everyone's ultimate goal is two (or more as the case may be!) healthy babies, however we can achieve it.

[7lauralee7]

I'm 22wks pregnant, due Feb. 13th(40wks)....I was just put on bedrest today and am feeling pretty bummed...this is my first pregnancy and my husband and I have been so excited since we found out we're having twins....I'd really been enjoying getting out and going for walks but now am told to lay around all day, going crazy already after just a few hours. :) we're having both girls, possibly identical....they still aren't positive if they are sharing a placenta or not....Baby a is down pretty much on my cervix...I'm wondering if it's normal for one to be so low already...we're not positive on names so far....anyone else aready know both names?...i'm so glad that i've found this website and can talk with other women show know what i'm going through...

[twoinoven]

Hi Lauralee,
I just wrote you on the bedrest thread. Did your doctor talk about a cerclage? Mine were going to put one in and said they would try the bedrest first. I guess we will just have to deal with the boredom of bedrest, it will be worth it. My major complaint already is my left elbow is SORE from leaning on it to do the computer, write etc. It feels like it will get a pressure sore!
Also, by the third day, if I am up for a few minutes brushing teeth etc, the pressure down low feels alot more intense than when I was up all the time. I think the thing is they are growing so rapidly now we really feel their weight.
Mine are boy/girl and both head down, and their heads are right there by the cervix too, that must be the cause of the thinning and funneling, sooooo, we'll just have to hang in there! (so THEY hang in there too.:p

[brajohn1]

hello! i am pregnant with boy/girl fraternal twins and due feb 8 (40 weeks), though the doc says i'll probably deliver sooner than that. i had a cerclage four weeks ago and am doing better (it was scary for a while), though i still worry about some occasional contractions that i've been having. i posted on the cerclage thread, but thought i'd say hi to all of you fellow february ladies! i am on modified bedrest (meaning i can get up to go to the potty, take a shower and get something quick to eat, thats it!). i do feel the babies moving quite a bit... i feel baby A a bit more. she is quite active (and she is the one closest to my cervix... on an ultrasound she actually kicked right into my cervix!)
i have gained 27 pounds (i'm at 23 weeks) so i'm wondering if my contractions are related to a rapidly expanding uterus (which i hear can be the case). at any rate, i'm tyring to do what the doctor orders so that my babies will be ok. preterm labor is a big concern for me though.
how much weight have you gained? is everyone feeling ok?
i'd love to hear from you!
brandy

[twoinoven]

Hi Brajohn!
I'm due with b/g Feb. 11. My baby b is the most active, she is on the left. I have gained 17lbs, but the last 7 were in two weeks and now I am on bedrest so they are probably packing on!
I too am paranoid about preterm labor, in fact I am awake now with "menstrual type feeling" that I am wondering whether I just ate too much at dinner, or should I call my midwife...

[brajohn1]

hi twininoven,

good to hear from you! i think that when we go on bedrest, we end up lying here feeling every little thing in our bodies (more than we would feel if we could get up and go about our daily lives)... i go through bouts of paranoia if i get a slight twinge in my back, or if i don't feel one baby kicking... it is sometimes hard to know what to do (call the doc? wait and see?)
how is your menstrual feeling? are they cramps? if so, how often? i've been having painless contractions for the past 4 weeks, which at first i couldn't even feel , but my doc says some contractions are normal,as long as they don't go over 4-6 per hour and as long as i don't have other symptoms. are you experiencing other symptoms along with the menstrual feeling? i'd go with your gut feeling and call your midwife if this is something new or unusual. my doc told me to let him know if something "different" happens...
i'm currently paranoid about some wetness i've noticed in my underwear. i think i'm leaking urine, (i just had an ultrasound on thursday and they said my amniotic fluid levels were fine). when they did my cerclage they also tacked up my bladder... but still, i worry about leaking fluid.... it is just a little bit and i even wonder if it could be sweat.
anyway, try to stay calm... worrying excessively is not good either.
let me know what happens.
btw, are you planning to deliver at home? i've heard midwives sometimes don't take twin pregnancies because of the risks...
talk to u soon,
brandy

[twoinoven]

Hi Brandy,
No, I'm not even going to try to deliver at home. This group of midwives works in conjunction with a group of OB docs too so I see a doc every other visit.
As for my menstrual feeling, I called them in the morning after a mostly sleepless night, and I went in to get checked. Midwife said everything looked alright but they would move up my transvag. US if it would make me feel better. Glad I said yes, my cervix had shortened to 2.1. The doc from last weekend was in the hospital so I called her and she admitted me to have the cerclage done. So I am back home now. more details on the cerclage site.
I read that extra discharge with twins is normal.
I've had 'sneeze incontinence' since 8 weeks! I had a minor cough for a couple weeks lately and went through a slew of pads:rolleyes:

[brooklynmum]

Hi all,
i'm starting to have a lot of pain in my upper thighs, lower back, and hips. I remember having these aches much later in my 1st pregnancy (toward the very end). Is anyone else already feeling these aches? I'm only 23 wks. It almost feels like the babies have 'dropped', which is really scaring me.

Can't believe how many people are on bedrest! I was on bedrest for 3 months of my 1st for lots of contractions. I feel for you! It's not at all easy resting all the time. I'm having lots of contractions again, but no change in my cervix, so I'm just 'taking it easy', but no bedrest yet.

[brajohn1]

i've had some soreness in my hips, which i think might be from the bedrest.... no other major pains though. i have had contractions (like you) but my cervix is still holding, so the doc said i can start to get up a bit more. (i'm at 23 1/2 weeks)
i wouldn't get freaked out about thingss - maybe you should call your doc and go in just to be sure your cervix is still intact...
and allow yourself to rest... don't overdo it!! let us know how it goes!!
brandy

[twoinoven]

Brooklyn
I swear I thought the babies had dropped too a few days ago, I think they are just growing at hyperspeed. It was like I went to bed one night and when I stood up the next morning all of a sudden it felt like all this pressure down low. But I could still feel their butts under my ribs! Gosh, I pray you don't have to do bedrest too, but I would make sure they check your cervical length. My doctor said it can change with no signs at all, and rather quickly too. I thought things were hunky dory with me after a week on bedrest and then found out it had shortened from 2.8 to 2.1 in a week. They said contractions could shorten it, but I hadn't been having those regularly either. So I say, be extra cautious. I am so glad they checked mine, otherwise it would have shortened more by the time they did!
Definately take it easy!

[kathylew]

I am also about 23 1/2 weeks and have started having pretty bad pain in my upper thighs, hips, and lower back. I just attribute it to all the extra weight and the fact that I am on my feet most of the day. I go in for my next appointment on 10/28. I'm really kind of hoping she will tell me to cut my work hours back, as I am really beginning to get uncomfortable.
Good luck everyone!
Kathy
b/b twins due 02/12/2004 (40 weeks)

[twoinoven]

Hi Kathy,
You must be feeling uncomfortable, maybe I am just used to bedrest after two weeks, because when I do get up for a few minutes I can really feel the pressure and discomfort. Either they are growing very fast or I am just not used to being on my feet. Probably some of each.
I hope the doc tells you to cut back so you can take it a little easier. Are these your first babies? These are #2 and 3 for me. I have gained about 18 lbs, had alot of nausea with solid foods for a long time. I drink alot of Boost high protein drinks now because I still have a hard time with solids in the morning.
I am due 2-11 with b/g.
I haven't had any pain in legs, back or hips. Be really careful, if you are worried, ask your doc to get you in for an ultrasound for cervical measurement. What kind of work do you do that you are on your feet most of the day?

[brajohn1]

hi everyone...

i'm due feb 8 (40 weeks) with b/g twins.
how much weight has everyone gained? i'm at 24 weeks and have gained around 27-28 pounds. most of the weight seems to be in my belly, though my upper thighs seem to be rubbing together a bit more than before!! where are you all carrying your weight?
twoinoven - how's the heartburn? mine seems to be under control with the tums. i take two before i go to bed and i also try not to eat dinner to late.

hope everyone is well. i'm just trying to stay busy while on bedrest. fun, fun!!

[twoinoven]

Brajohn,
nope, the heartburn is worse than ever, even after I chew 4 tums! I am almost ready to resort to zantac or pepcid, except I can't afford it right now!
I have gained 18 lbs as of last week, would have been more except for the nausea, and now the heartburn. I am drinking boost, but solid food almost (except for the babies sake) doesn't seem worth the tradeoff for the heartburn and indigestion.
Laying on the stack of pillows at night seems to help a bit.
Did I tell you that my girl is more active than her brother too?

[brajohn1]

hey twoinoven,

sorry to hear about your heartburn. have you tried eating saltines? they seemed to help me. i guess i feel lucky to be able to eat well. the heartburn comes when i go to bed at night, but i find if i take one tums before dinner and another after dinner, i can get through the night. hang in there!

a somewhat gross question: do any of you ever have a white, odorless discharge? i am having a very light discharge. i've read that this can be normal, esp. with twins as the extra hormones in your body cause you to excrete extra discharge. have any of you had this?
i feel so paranoid about everything. i'm trying to be calm!

brandy

[brooklynmum]

hi guys,
brajohn1- I'm right about the same with the weight, and I'm due feb 6 (with g/g twins). I cannot believe how much weight I've gained, but like you said- it seems mostly in my belly. A little on my legs, but not too bad. At this rate, I feel like I'm going to gain like 60 lbs- yikes! As long as the babies are healthy... Also, about the discharge- I've had the same exact thing and my doc says it's all normal. Mention it to your doc though so that he can double check for yeast and other infections- because those can cause premerm labor (i've had a couple of infections so far, but they've both gone away).

twoinoven- I was on bedrest with my last pregnancy and I think you're right- you get so used to resting, that when you get up, you really ache. It's more exhausting than anything, I think. I hope you're hanging in there! It's not easy.

I was checked today and despite the pains in my legs and back and lots of contractions my cervix is still holding strong thank god.

Hope you all are well!

[brajohn1]

hi brooklynmum,

i'm going to the doc on thurs and will definitely ask about the discharge. tell me about your contractions... ihow often do you have them? do they hurt? 'm also having them. are you on medication for it? i was right after my cerclage, but not anymore. the doc seems to think they are not frequent enough and so far my cervix has been holding. did you have a cerclage or any cervical shortening?
our due dates are almost the same!! i also agree about the weight gain. the doc says 45-50 is a good number for me, but at this rate i think i'm going to go over!!
i'm going crazy trying to eat all the protein they want me to eat (120 gram a day). it is really hard to eat that much protein... my husband is like the "protein police" practically forcing me to eat more meat... he means well (ha!).
hang in there everyone.

[twoinoven]

Hey Ladies,
Is anyone else getting kicked waaaaay up high? I was lying here this evening and "wham!" right up where I think my heart/lungs are I got a jolt, it made me jump! Then about four more, I know baby b's hiney is right up under my ribs but holy cow, if it continues the rest of the pregnancy it's going to be really uncomfortable.
I went to doctor today, cervix measuring 3.5! WOW! That was cool to see. But my cervix is 'dynamic' also. Part of it was contracting while they were doing the probe and we watched it for a few minutes, it finally smoothed out.
Doc says definately bedrest until the babies get here, I anticipated as much.
Oh, my husband brought me bill money and I had extra enough to finally buy some pepcid AC, my pharmacy delivers so I got it today. Blessed relief! The fire is finally out!
Cool news, the doc's ultrasound has a VCR attached so I asked if I could get the next 'baby measurement' U/S there, she said okay and it's next Tuesday, so I can't wait to get them on tape!

[brajohn1]

good news twoinoven! your cervix measured the same as mine after the cerclage. i'm so glad.
just stay in bed!! my mother (who works for a top neonatologist) has been on my case about staying down, especially through the next few weeks. she said her boss told her that the next few weeks are really critical. each week that goes by raises the survival rate for the babies dramatically.... by 29 weeks the survival rate is quite high (and complications begin to decline). so we have to hang in there and stay in the bed !!!!
i go back to the doc tomorrow. i pray that my cervix is still holding... for the first three weeks after the cerclage it has held nicely, no funneling. keep your fingers crossed!
glad you'll be getting some heartburn relief! you deserve it.
my babies haven't kicked that high up yet. i do feel them kicking just below my ribs (both are head down right now)... do yours kick more at any certain time of day or is it random?
take care!!!

[twoinoven]

BUMP

[sky3210]

I'm due 2/4/04 and I'm at 34w, 4d. I am measuring 43 centimeters and I've gained about 42 pounds at this point. Wow, can't believe it! I didn't even start showing until 19 weeks and the doctor was telling me I needed to start gaining weight. After that point, I started gaining weight rapidly! I also have a lot of fluid retention that is causing carpal tunnel syndrome, painful hand joints, puffy eyelids and face, etc. Yuck.

I'm glad I've made it past 34 weeks now, especially since I've been on modified bedrest and terbutaline for two months. Now I'm starting to wonder if these boys are going to try to stay in my belly longer than anybody expects. I can't imagine what it will feel like if I make it past 38 weeks. Ouch!

How are the other February twin mommies doing???

[brajohn1]

well i'm due feb 6 (40 weeks) and have also been on bedrest FOREVER! i can't believe i've made it this far. i had a cerclage put in at 20 weeks and we didn't know how far i would get. i remember feeling so relieved to make it to 28 weeks!! so i'm very grateful. i have b/g twins and am 34 weeks.. i go monday for an u/s and nst, so i'll know more about how much the babie weigh. they were at 4 pounds apiece at 31 weeks, so i'm thinking they must be around 5 pounds now.
i'm gettting to the misery stage. my whole body itches, i have horrendous heartburn, my belly is HUGE,

[brajohn1]

continued from above...
and i'm just finding it hard to carry around a 45 pound belly. it seems all my weight gain is in my belly.
i'm also on terbutiline.. spent a week in the hospital in mid december to stop contractions.. they have scheduled to take out the cerclage on january 7 (36 weeks) so i'm almost there!!

have any feb moms delivered yet? are you all planning a c-section or vaginal delivery? my babies are both head down, so we are going to try for vaginal. i'm a little nervous!

good luck to everyone!

[sky3210]

My babies are both head down as well so I'm hoping for a vaginal birth.

Is anybody else having a lot of trouble sleeping? I'm surprised that it really isn't that hard for me to get comfortable, but it is everything else that keeps me up (snoring, bathroom trips, thirst, stuffy nose, carpal tunnel, etc.) I can't believe how badly I'm snoring and making other noises with my mouth, nose, and throat. It is about to drive me crazy. My husband and I can no longer sleep in the same room because I keep him awake with the snoring. I wake myself up as well! Here I am on the computer at 2:37 in the morning because once again, I can't sleep. But hey, I guess I'll get even less sleep after the babies are here. :)
