I hit 30 weeks yesterday and had a doctor's appointment and ultrasound. Both babies looked great! My cervix measured 4.5cm which is great for twins. The ultrasound tech was only able to see that one is still a boy, but as she so
smartly pointed out, "These things don't normally fall off," we're still banking on two boys. Baby A weighs 3lbs 6oz and Baby B is at 3lbs 15oz. My doctor is a little concerned with the weight difference. Last time there was a 4oz or 13% difference and this time it's 9oz/18% difference. He said we'll monitor them both weekly as long as it stays between 15-25%. If it goes beyond that, we'll readdress the issue. So, after my appointment yesterday, I was sent to the hospital to do a non-stress test. I went to the hospital because they can monitor them both at the same time, where as at my doctor's office I would only be able to do one at a time. From this point on, I'll go to the doctor each week, get checked out and then head over to the hospital for my non-stress test. I tried to pin down a date yesterday, but the dr said it's still too soon. I told him in no way did I want to go past 38 weeks and he doesn't see that as a problem. Therefore on or before May 11, these babies will make their debut!
On a side note, my 30 week pregnancy email said my baby(not babies), "should weigh almost 3lbs." Is anyone surprised mine are once again above and beyond the norm?! Just to give you an idea of my belly size, at your 30 week appt, you typically measure around 30cm. One cm per week your pregnant. My measurement this week...38cm! I look full-term and still have 7-8 weeks to go. Lord help! =)
