baby losing weight reflux
Im FINALLY starting to feel better and not like death warmed over all the time. While I know I am truly blessed to be carrying twins (and even pregnant at all!) I wont lie, it was a rough few weeks. Violently throwing up and peeing myself at the same time became routine for me, and I was perpetually nauseous. This weekend I hit my second trimester and Im finally start feeling like myself again. I have enough strength and energy now to have good workouts again and not drag myself through them. I still cant believe Ive gained 20 pounds the first trimester. And thats with working out all the time! But now that Im no longer sick all the time Im laying off the bread again and back to drinking my green smoothies in the morning. Im definitely starting to get a baby bump. The hubs loves that. Its so cute how he wants me to look bigger so he can feel all proud that "he put those in there." LOL. Im not feeling any movement yet, but it does feel like Ive got tennis balls or something stuffed in my pelvic area. Which is making me have to pee every five minutes. If it gets any worse I may need a catheter bag! Perhaps Coach makes one? ;-)
Today we had our appointment with maternal fetal medicine. I didnt get to meet our doctor this appointment, that is scheduled for next time. We got to have an ultrasound, which we really love seeing the little ones on the screen. They had to do the NT scan as part of the first trimester screening. When I went in a expected to do the ultrasound vaginally as thats how theyve been in the past. To my surprise, it was the kind over the belly. Were progressing! Theres always that moment of nervousness when they first appear on the screen. Just want to make sure everything still going okay. But there they were, both of them squirming around like crazy! The nurse said that they are stacked sort of like bunk beds and in slightly different positions - Baby B (the one on top) is facing head down and Baby A (at the bottom is sort of sideways). Which doesnt make sense to me because in looking at the picture they dont look like theyre in opposite directions. But what do I know?
So she started the NT scan on Baby B first. (It will be so nice to find out their sex so we can name them). This consisted of checking for a nasal bone and measuring the space or fluid sac in the back of the neck. This is to for signs of Down Syndrome. Baby B was in the right position and everything measured out okay. When it came time to check on Baby A, the little guy (or girl) decided to be complicated. As soon as the nurse started checking it out, it started squirming around all over the place. I was watching it on the screen with bewilderment wondering what was going on. Then it hit me that the baby was actually turning itself around to face my back! I could tell the nurse was getting frustrated but I wasnt sure what we could really do about it. She finally made me get up and empty my bladder again and move around a little bit. Then when I laid back down she started poking at my stomach until the baby actually flipped back over! That is so crazy that poking around down there actually makes them move. And whats even crazier to me is that I cant feel that at all! At least not yet. Luckily, Baby A was finally able to be checked out and everything looked okay. I was actually kind of surprised that the ultrasound picture wasnt as clear as the one at my doctors office and this was at Winnie Palmer Hospital which is one of the best in the country. What I like about the one at my OBs office is they have a giant 50 inch screen in front of you so you can see the images up close. Seems like the picture is definitely more crisp there, too. But luckily I will be going to both doctors frequently so Ill get to see them at both places. Oh and the nurse said she thought one MIGHT be a girl and at first said she thought the other MIGHT be a boy, but once Baby A changed positions she couldnt get a clear shot. But she did say she was only guessing because it was hard to get a clear view. Ahh!!! I want to know NOW damn it! The boy/girl combo is definitely what were hoping for, but for some reason I have this nagging feeling that it could be two girls. Only time will tell! I have an appt with my OB next Fri so fingers crossed shell be able to tell by then...
The next step was the doctor coming in and checking the images to see if everything looked okay. Its not the doctor Ill have there, Ill get to meet him in August. But its still one of the maternal fetal medicine doctors. He said everything looked good and asked which screening I was getting done. I told him the genetic
counselor suggested I do a integrated sequential screening, which is where they draw blood now and then in another month and compare the two numbers to give you a probability of down syndrome and trisomy. Which is a whole lot of waiting! Especially since those with singleton pregnancies get a fancy new test that gives them the results at a 98% accuracy rate within a few days! But it doesnt work with twins. :-/ This doctor suggested we do something called a modified sequential screening which just means will get the results back from the first blood draw and then still do the second one next month. The results of the first test gives an 80% accuracy rate and then when you combine the one from the second blood draw it jumps up to the high 90s. This doctor recently transferred from New York and said thats what they do there and honestly New York is so much more progressive than Florida I was totally on board with it. Especially since well get some results back sooner.
So thats about all for now. Ill attach some pics of the recent ultrasound and my latest belly bump pic from week 12. I dont have week 13 because I was a little behind on my picture taking and then found out I was a few days behind where I thought I was with how far along I am, so rather than take a week 13 picture in the middle of the week Im just doing week 14 this weekend, which is precisely where I am at. :-)
Love you all and thank you SO very much for your support.
Keep on fighting the fight and never give up! <3
Baby A (sucking its thumb!)
Baby B (looking kind of creepy LOL)
Stacked in my belly. This is where Baby A turned around.
Definitely starting to show.... oh boy, Im gonna be huge! eeek!
