30 week check up!!
September 03, 2008
Hey ladies!!! I just thought I would let you know how my 30 weeks checkup went yesterday!! So, twins are doing great! They are estimating that they are weighing around just over 3 pounds each already!! Wow!!
They did an internal because I was getting pressure in my lower back and period like cramping last week but my cervix is still tightly closed and long so that is great!
Babies are both in a head down position!! My belly is measuring in at 38 weeks and I am up 34 pounds from my original starting weight! My blood pressure was great(127 over 63) as were my iron levels. They did the glucose screening test last week and I got a 6.4 on it which she said is awesome.
Doctor was so pleased with how everything has been going that I dont have to go see her next week unless I have concerns. They wanted me coming every week at this point but because everything has been going so well she said I could go in again in 2 weeks!!
Babies heartbeats were 140 and 150. I go for another fetal assessment on Wednesday September 10th so hopefully I get some good shots for you!!!
I think that is it!!! I am supposed to be trying to get a tour of the hospital next week also so that should be good. We are all ready for these babies now! I have the nursery ready, clothes, blankets & sheets washed, bought our formula, diapers, etc, food is stocked in the freezer and hospital bags are packed!!! Now it is just a waiting game!!

Actually Caryn that is exactly what the doctor keeps telling me is that so far my pregnancy has been textbook, even the weight gain at exactly 1.5 pounds of weight gain a week. It makes me feel good though knowing that they are doing so great!
They are good babies so far Sarah!!! Lets hope they stay that way!!! lol :)

Aww Liane!
How exciting! I cant believe you are 30 weeks already! Can you please tell me what kinds of dinners you made and froze because I'm doing the same thing but cant come up with too many things to make! So far I have on my list to make: Chili, Chicken Soup, Lasagna and a pot of Sauce. I cant think of anything else!
I wish my pregnancy was textbook! I gained 7 pounds in 2 weeks... yikes!

I premade like 60 meatballs and froze them in packs of 10, I made lasagnas, soups, chili, stew, a couple chicken/noodle casseroles, homemade pizza, chicken potpies, etc. Basically what I did was went down the freezer aisle at the store to see what they made preready to eat and kind of took some of their ideas lol!
Another thing I thought of Maria is that I stocked my freezers with quick to make meals and meat and stuff so that I would have everything I need (other than fresh veggies and fruit) on hand!!! Just thought I would mention it!! All of the meat I bought I sorted and put in meal size packages! This way if we want say pork chops for supper I just have to grab a bag and I already have the amount I need in there!
Liane that is so great. So happy you got such a good report. We go in for growth next week...They were 3 pounds three weeks ago when we had growth so wonder how much they will be this week..Do you or anyone knows what the average weight gain is for the babies..
We went in today for a 31 week cervical check and cervical length...Boy was I so happy they did not have to keep me..My cervix was unchanged from last week measuring at 2.4 it was orginally 3.5 at the beginning of the pregnancy...and it is still closed..
But when the perinatologist examined me she said wow and i was like what and she said I know you can feel that baby's head down there and I was like boy do I....I mean Liane sometimes I cry at night because i can not even turn over in the bed because the head is so low it makes my whole pelvic area stiff and achy..she said that she had to go around the babies head to reach my cervix that i how low she was..but cervix is still closed so I am guessing that she is just feeling the head in the pelvic area..the hooked me to the monitors and I was contracting but she said that they were not close enough..Did a FTN test also and it was negative..She said that the babies lungs should be great because of the steroid shots that i was given when i was in the hospital 3 weeks ago..so that sound great..
I just wish i can do somehting about this pressure in the pelvic area..she said i should soak in a warm tub before bed and that will relax the pelvic muscles..
Has anyone tried that before??
Glad to hear that you little ones are great...keep up the good work....
PS i am gonna come to eat at you and Kellers house ummm those sound like some good meals...WOW now i am hungry..LOL Take care sweetie...

What a great idea Liane! You are right on top of things over there! I bought everything today to make an extra big put of chili and this weekend I'm gonna make sauce. Chicken Pot pies... what a good idea! I'm def. gonna make those and a lasagna too... I better start cooking! Do you have a good recipe for a chicken pot pie?
I am so happy everything is going so well...and my god your so organized..I'll need to talk to you to get some advise on getting ready..I am now 25 weeks 4 days and feel like there is still SO much to do..I know I have time, but trying to spend every posible second with carleigh alone while I still can
Summer I am glad to hear that there hasnt been any change since last week. When the doctor checked me yesterday she said "yup there is definately a head down there" lol. The pelvic pressure is bad but from the way you are talking I think yours is worse. When it comes to what the babies weigh on average you can check out growth sites for babies. I have a development book also that has been able to give me an idea as to where they would be approximately so I have something to compare their weight to. So far they have been right on track! By this point in your pregnancy they should be gaining on average 1/2 pound each per week! I feel so awful for you that you are on bedrest. I couldnt imagine. I am getting to a point though that I am so uncomfortable I can barely stand it.
Maria, the pot pie recipe I have is all in my head lol. I put in what sounds good!!'
Melissa, I am a organizational freak lol!! Too much sometimes!!! I am sure you will do great!~

Liane!!! Wonderful news! You are carrying so great and obviously the babies are doing amazing too! Your dh should be so proud of you! Hugs to you and the little guys! (I'm saying guys but I think there is one of each in there!)
Summer.....great news that nothing has changed with your cervix! You are doing an amazing job too!!! So happy for you. Keep is up and hope somehow you figure out a way to lessen the pelvic pain. But I carried Caden super low and had it pretty much non stop in the 3rd tri. It would stop me in my tracks sometimes. So I can't even imagine the pain with two in there! :) Take care and hugs to the three of you!

Thanks Ladies. Thanks so much Liane I have been meaning to get a twin book the one that i have is just for singleton even though it has some twin info in it..But since I have been on bed rest it is hard to get out and get what i need. And girl my fiance I will never send him in a store..he doesn't look for deals or pay attention to details so he ends up having to go back to the store 3 times to get the right thing..LOL MEn gotta love them..
Yeah Liane i understand about that pressure we are carrying like almost 7 pounds and just at 7 months so that is crazy...I just wish i couls get her to move in some way..because anytime that i am sitting straight up i can REALLY feel her head and it is horrible..but worth it..so basically i lay down All the time...
Well good luck ladies hope everything continues to go well with our pregnancies and we will see our little ones soon..
Oh I gained 5 pounds in 1 week so its like now i am averaging 5 pounds a week that is just toooooo much...but like you said before my body may be playing the catch up game since i did not gain much in the beginning.. I remember Sam saying that at 31 weeks her twins were 3.5 pounds and she had good size babies so we are where we need to be..I just gotta keep them in as long as i can..LOL...
