Wow 14 weeks isn't so far off for us! DH keeps asking me all these questions - 'when do we feel them move?' 'When do we find out the sex?' - and I'm just like I know as much as you do, honey!
I already have a very bad back from an accident I had while being a stupid tweenager, so I'm wondering if my OB will give me anything to help the pain, special instructions or something, I dunno!
We have been told they're most likely identical but OB said that at this stage detecting the membranes between them is like catching a spider web in the right light, and we'll have more of an idea later on. I'm going to the OB roughly every 4 weeks and he does a scan while I'm there, but I would prefer it if I could get them more regularly! Its my first time so I worry a lot lol.
You know, I'm kinda worried that they might beat each other up in there...
We found out the sexes of our boys at our 16 week growth scan so really isn't too far off for you. Right from our first scan at 7 weeks we had a definate membrane showing a divide between the 2 babies - and as for back pain you might need to look at either a SPD pregnancy belt or SRC pregnancy shorts as I have heard they really help but they won't work for me as I am carrying so low neither would fit under me bump to be properly effective.
And as for them beating each other up, I can tell you for sure that it will happen. At our last scan at 24 weeks our lefty was head down and righty was breach and during the scan righty keep kicking his brother in the head. It even got to the stage that lefty was putting his arm over his face to try and block the blows, DH was amazed that they don't break each others noses or anything with all the hitting and punching.
But both my boys are now head down together (very uncomfortable for me) so they play wrestles and footy together - just without the ball
