    Default Update on me :*) -- new UPDATE AGAIN!!

    Hi!

    I know I disapeared off these boards, it's been pretty hectic. Just thought I'd give an update since I just read thru all your updates []

    Pregnancy - is going ok. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster having nothing to do with the babies and everything to do with doctor's.

    Long story short, I'm in the search for a new ob because I want to have the choice to deliver these twins vaginally; but since I had my DD via emergency c-section (fetal distress) - almost no doctor is willing to work with me. I'm automatically a scheduled c-section MOSTLY due to legal reasons and not medical reasons. But, I finally found a dr who will consider it, and I have my first appt with him next Wednesday... mind you, I'm 34 weeks on Friday.

    Part of the bonus of having twins, is multiple ultrasounds. I had one about 7 weeks ago and found out that baby A was breech and baby B was transverse. Put a bit of a kink in my whole wanting a vaginal birth. Luckily, I had another one 3 weeks that showed both babies head down. Unfortunatly it also showed that there was a weight difference (20% not a biggie since they have seperate placentas) and Baby A had low fluid levels. Due to the fluid levels, I was given the steroid shots to help their lung development "just in case" I went into preterm labor. I was put on bedrest. And biweekly NST to make sure they're both doing fine.

    Good news is both are passing their NSTs with flying colors; and my current ob isn't very worried. I trust his judgment in this... now if only he'd let me try to deliver them vaginally [].

    So, I'm at home relaxing. Hoping that the appt next week works out. Hoping I don't go into labor before then (after 34 weeks, they don't stop the labor of twin mommies). Then again, also hoping I go into labor before I hit 38 weeks, since most obs won't let twin mom's go past 38 weeks (I plan to "fight" that one... even if week 39 is Thanksgiving).

    Since I can't t-tapp; and alignment is SO important for baby positioning; I've started going to a chiropractor. She's very suprised at how good I "look" alignment wise and how I don't have the usual aches and pains. Keep in mind I'm already measuring 46 weeks! I'm huge .

    For those of you who know, we're still in an apartment. Our home is finally getting close to being done... they want to close on Nov 18th... yup, week 38, nice huh :*).

    And DH is looking for a new job. More on that later, must email the local t-tapp support group first.

    So, between researching twins, vbacs, new obs, u/s, NSTs, chiros, and bedrest... well, now you know why I haven't been here!

    Many hugs to all of you! I only wish I had actual t-tapp news to share; but I'll have plenty of that post-delivery!


    Happy T-Tapping!!

    Oh Marilyn, I've been thinking of you and I'm so happy to hear how you are doing. It is good that you have a dr who might consider it. The health of these little ones are more important than anything. I can not imagine how tired you will be after pushing two out.

    Take it easy. I'll be praying for you. I do hope you are not planning on moving anything, let someone else do it.

    Thanks, April :*). Oh, we're hiring movers... money's been put aside for that since we sold our other home April 2004... yes, it's taken that long for this house to get done!

    Thanks!

    I just posted on the other thread to ask you about your due date... never mind. Now I know you are 2-3 weeks behind me. Hey, we may even give birth on the same day!

    Good luck w/ everything. Moving, new babies... whew! You've got your hands full, don't you?

    Will be thinking of you!

    Marilyn......we so missed you at SH, silly babies, thinking that they need Momma more than we do!!!!

    I'm rooting for your twin VBAC as well. I'm so pleased that you were able to find someone to consider it for you. Heck, getting a doctor anymore to do a VBAC with a single baby pregnancy is hard enough as it is!

    Promise him/her that we'll bake cookies if they let you try. I'll pitch in a couple of dozen of my homemade yummies for the cause.

    Take care, chica!

    Just tapp already, would ya?!?

    Hi darling!!! Thanks so much for the update!! I missed you so much at SH but TinaLE shared you were on strict bedrest or you would have snuck away! [}][}]

    It sure sounds like you have been really busy and being your own best advocate for you and the babies!!! (WTG!)

    Good luck with the next 6 weeks - we'll be cheering you on and hoping for the VBAC delivery of your beautiful angels!!

    (Take Ginger up on her offer of cookies -she ROCKS!!!)

    I'm planning on coming to SH in January for the certification classes so maybe you can sneak away then!!! (crossing fingers and toes!!![][])

    take care

    Marilyn! You sound so upbeat considering all you have on your plate!
    I'm so glad to hear from you, and that you and bellyload are doing so well! I really hope and pray you will get a chance to deliver instead of C-S. Thanks for the update!
    Hugs and love

    Marilyn,

    Wow, you have sure had to deal with a lot during this pregnancy. (Too much)

    I will pray for you that things will go exactly as you expect. I guess you just have to focus on the end results.
