    Question

    Cathie-That sounds like some good weights for your babies. What did your OB say about inducing you? I hate it when it's a long wait, eek for your hubby. Glad to hear that things are fine though.

    Kim-You definantly sound like you have your hands full. I am expecting fraternal b/g twins and we already have a girl and boy so we will have even no.s. How old and what sexes are your other children?

    Shell-So GLAD to hear that you dont have PE. It still sucks about the swelling though, but as you said it will be nice to see the dr weekly. I think going to the Melbourne show would definantly be a feat and a half as it is without all of the swelling.

    My scan went well. EDD is 13 Dec. Boy measures EDD 15dec, so 2 days ahead, last scan he was 7 days ahead. Girl measures EDD 10 Dec, so 3 days behind, last scan she was right on EDD. So all in all they are growing really well. The boy is presenting first in breach and the girl is head down.
    My cervix was measured twice, first was 2.3cm and the 2nd with me pushing babies onto my cervix was 1.6cm. Now I have my OB appointment on Tuesday, but just wondering if anyone can shed some light on these measurements. I know that it has shortened but just wanting to compare and get some ideas from other twin mummies who may have had their cervix measured.

    Take care all.

    OMG OMG OMG OMG

    My 13 week scan yesterday was

    AWESOME

    Sorry as you can tell I am a little bit excited

    Both Twins are doing fantastic, both measured about 7.5cm from head to bum and had brilliant heartbeats.

    Twin 1 - was extremely co-operative and was in the right place for the lady to get the measurements on the neck, whereas TWIN 2 was being rather temperamental and would not stay in the right place

    The measurements were 1.52mm and approx 1.63mm, so all looks really good.

    One thing the lady did say was that both of the placentas were very low lying, but we will find out more at the next scan.

    We got lots of Happy Snaps to bring home and show to the family as well.

    To top my day off, we have a fair idea of the sexes as well. The lady told me that she was 99.99999% sure of them. Hubby agreed as he saw the same things as she did. We are not going to be stupid and go out and buy colour appropriate clothes until after the 20 week scan to play it safe.

    WE ARE SOOOOO EXCITED

    Hi ladies,
    Glad to hear that everyone is doing fine, gee we have lots of mummies having twins.
    I have one question to ask, I'm 37 weeks and it's starting to hurt now with all the pressure of the babies . Did it hurt anybody else at the stage?
