With twins they usually come between 36 and 38 weeks. I am trying hard to keep them in the oven until full term (37 weeks).
Yesterday I had my first Non Stress Test (NST) done. They hook up heart beat monitors to each babies heart beat, flip you uncomfortably on your left side and record what their hearts do for about a half an hour. The test itself wasn't so bad. But the doctor put me on my back after to do a quick ultrasound to check their fluid. I don't handle laying on my back so well. It makes me hot and sick. I had to sit up or throw up all over the doctor. Thank heaven I didn't. That would have been very embarrassing.
It's hard to explain what it's like to be pregnant with twins. With McKay I loved being pregnant after morning sickness was gone. With my girls its been nothing but uncomfortable, uncomfortable, sick sick from about day one. I may not look super big, but I sure feel like it. My poor tummy can't hardly stretch anymore, and I can feel it. If heartburn doesn't kill me, I'm not sure what will. And sleeping had been a joke for the last few months. I just can't wait for my girls to be in my arms safe and sound, and to not be pregnant anymore! I think only those with twins can truly understand what I am talking about.
Thankfully I haven't needed to be on bed rest, (and I hope I can keep it that way), but I have been restricted on what I can and can't do.
