NYC, your twins are soooo adorable!!! Thanks for posting. I hope they're home soon as planned!
Mandarine, I was under the impression that the blood test for us wouldn't be accurate because there aren't good scales for twins, especially when they could be discordant for an abnormality. Did you hear differently? I would be very happy if new twin norms are out!
Still thinking about Lindsey and Natalie. . .

Don''t quote me...but, the actual ultrasound (the Nuchal Translucency u/s) is still accurate in multiples pregnancies. They check not only for the nuchal fold, but presence of the nasal bone and other things. The tech said when the nuchal fold is higher than 3, the risks are higher (based on the u/s alone). I have read that a lot of babies with measurements of 5 or 6 turn out to be ok too though. They use the blood test in conjuction with the measrements to know your actual risk.Date: 4/20/2009 5:25:53 PM

The blood test is what may not be as accurate with multiple gestations, but I still would feel better knowing somewhat that they are ok. We wouldn''t terminate either way, but I tend to worry too much and just want to get an indication...not sure that makes any sense...lol...but we decided we definitely wanted to do it and both Drs I''ve seen suggested it.

Nyc congratulations on your two little ones! They are so precious. I''m glad they are doing so well!
Lindsey I found a quote and thought of you. I don''t know if you''re at all religious and I didn''t know if I should post this, but I have been thinking of you over the weekend and figured it''s better to lend comfort than to stand in the shadows:
"The Lord takes away many, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man and the sorrows and evils of the world. They are too pure, too lovely, to live on earth. Therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning, we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil and we shall soon have them again." Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith
I have questions on supplement pills anyone is taking during pregnancy. My doctor said he recommends taking a lower dosage of Omega-3, iron, and maybe calcium if I''m not drinking enough milk. I think I drink enough milk. My question is mainly on Omega-3. Anyone else taking them??? At the drugstore I saw 1200mg for most bottles and one was 1000mg. I don''t know if both are low dosages or what. Plus the directions on the bottles say to take 1-2 pills 2-3 times a day! Should I just do one pill a day or follow the directions??
I have another doc appt in 2 weeks so I can ask him then, but I wondered if anyone else took these. Thanks!

NYC the twins are precious, you must be thrilled! It sounds like they''re doing very well.
Also can I ask, how is your pain going now, I saw your posts a few back about the percocet every 4 hours. I had my c-section last Tuesday and I''m now taking 1 percocet when I wake up, 1 sometime later in the day, and 1 before I go to bed. I also take 1 800mg ibuprofen 3 times a day. So I''m take 3 percocet a day, and 3 ibuprofen a day. When I was in the hospital I needed my 2 percocet every 4 hours like clockwork or my body was NOT happy. I was released from the hospital Friday and have been trying to lower my pain med dosages and I''d like to be off of the percocet completely by the end of this week.
My milk came in Saturday which was both physically and emotionally painful. The worst day was yesterday, I was so hard and engorged. Today my breasts were uncomfortable but much better than yesterday -- they''re softer and not as rock hard. I will keep taking the ibuprofen because it helps with all of the inflammation and swelling. When I was still in the hospital, the nurses warned me that my milk would come in and I felt devastated, it never occurred to me that that would still happen. I wanted to scream at my body and somehow make it understand that I wasn''t bringing a baby home, that I didn''t need to make milk. Hopefully my breasts will continue to stay a little softer like they were today until my body figures out that it can stop making breast milk... it makes me beyond sad.
BTDT mamas, how did your C-section scars heal? My incision seems to be healing well, I asked that they use sutures instead of staples and they sewed it from the inside so that there are no stitches showing, and they''ll just dissolve away. I bought two pairs of the "C Panty" which has a silicon pad right where your incision is to help the incision heal and flatten with silicon compress. Once I''m confident that my incision is fully closed I am going to start wearing them so we''ll see how that goes.
sunkist are you Mormon? My family is, so a lot of their thoughts on infants and death was shared with me in the past week. Mormons are obviously very family-centric and it was very reassuring to have my father share his beliefs with me. He told me that infants who die prematurely or at birth were perfect humans -- they lived only to acquire a human body before passing to heaven. That they didn''t need a life to test them or to learn lessons from because they were already perfect. That idea does bring me comfort.

Linds- thank u so much! Im glad ur still here posting with us....my c sect pain is only in one spot and its excruciating burning sensation!...I can''t stand or walk w..o. Just balling in tears from this one spot. I don''t know if its normal or maybe smthg in that spot is wrong? Do u feel that kind of pain as well or is it differnt? I wonder that bc I don''t think this is normal. I didn''t fill my percocet prescrip after hospital ystdy bc there was no time and I took tyl pm and I guess that was a bad mistake.
I am on 2 percocets every 4 hrs and they didn''t tell me anything else to take so I will try sticking with that dose and wait a few days and see how it goes.
How is ur pain with the dose u take now?
Im so sorry about ur milk. I am not bf''ing and I didn''t get my milk in ..(c was thurs)...I wear a pretty fitting bra (duno if I should try a sports bra better) and my sister tied ace those bandages on me real tight 1 day but I couldn''t tolerate it at night so took them off. And I applied ice packs a few times. I am hoping not to deal with that as well.
please stay in touch linds!

Lindsey,
Touching on the thoughts about why little ones pass from this world... gosh, it''s such a tough thing to rationalize, since it seems so senseless. I had an uncle who passed away at the age of almost 2. My grandpa explained it to me when I was a little girl asking about the uncle I never knew as saying that sometimes people get to live in this world without experiencing any sadness or pain or tears, and when that happens, it''s really sad for those who miss them and wished they had more time with them, but for the person, it''s not sad at all, because they are with Jesus and free of any sorrows this world brings. It helped my young heart to understand then, and it continues to be something I think about when someone I care about goes through the same sorrows of a young life lost so early.
You''re still in our prayers, girl.
Rest up and spend lots of time with your husband; I think part of the miracle of marriage is no longer having to go through any pains or tears (or laughter in the good times) alone.

NYC - lovely photos, they are both gorgeous and you did a great job! How''s the nursery going???
Sorry to hear about the pain - seems like you''ve had a rough ride for most of the last 9 months. Hope it gets better soon - I would definitely call the doctor about the localised pain just in case. Try to take the tablets strictly on time for the next couple of days rather than waiting between doses, once the pain comes back it''s harder to get rid of again and you sometimes need more meds than you would if you keep the cover up.
Lindsey - it seems very unfair that one''s body continues to do things on it''s own and make things harder emotionally. Hopefully it won''t take too long for the milk to dry up and the c-section to heal. I''m so glad that your family are so supportive and there for you.

Linds, I''m not Mormom but what your dad said makes sense to me too and I think it''s a beautiful way to feel about it.
I am so sorry about your milk...even with the warning I am sure that it is hard.
I am really happy to see you''re posting. I think all of us think about every single day and just know that we are all here for you!!

I am so glad I only have one more antenatal class to go - I think DH will get expelled if we had any more.
He misbehaved VERY badly last night. The session was on breastfeeding and they provided us all with ''newborn dolls'' and we all had to practice different holding positions. All the other men held their ''babies'' properly and then sat and cuddled them during the non-practicing positions sections. My husband refused to hold his dolly properly and dangled it by its ankles or other inappropriate ways.
The midwives were trying quite hard not to laugh, but everyone else was being deadly serious...I was soooo ashamed

NYC-The chicco wasn''t made to fit the SNG, however, it can fit. I would post on the mommies board because I know that NF uses the double stroller and she was able to get it to fit.
Lindsey-The words your father said make a lot of sense to me and is so comforting. I''m sorry that your milk is coming in and hopefully it''ll stop soon. Continue to take care of yourself.

Lindsey, I''m so glad you''re coming back here to post. I can only imagine what that''s like to have your milk come in when that''s the last thing on earth you want to happen. I hope it goes away soon and you don''t have to be so reminded. Physically anyway. I love the outlook your father has, along with what a couple of the other girls said. This world can be so ugly and there are people out there who choose not to bring children into it. That''s really God''s choice.
Pandora, your DH must related to mine, I swear. During our BFing class, he sent out a mass text message to all his friends saying that while the Final Four (college basketball) was going on, he was stuck in a 6 hour BFing class and to drive by and shoot him. Nice, huh? The responses he got were pretty funny, but I gave him several dirty looks that day.
NYC, ditto to what Pandora said. Definitely take them every 4 hours as directed to prevent the pain/discomfort.
Well, I''m getting pretty impatient lately. I was told by a friend that if I want this baby to come, that I needed to be really active. Are you kidding me? It''s hard enough coming into work and sitting in a chair! How am I supposed to go on walks when I get home? I''ve been sitting on the ball at home and can tell she''s pretty low down there. I got a shooting pain last night that started in the pelvic area and radiated around to my lower back. It made me yelp out in pain. It feels like she''s jumping on my cervix like a trampoline! Let''s hope she softening it up for me. Sex isn''t an option right now, so there goes that.

Mornin' girls. I'm on day 2 of mat leave and I think I overdid it yesterday trying to clean up the house. Phewph! I just looked around, and everything looked SO MESSY TO ME, so I just started cleaning. Anyways, today I'm going to do 'less' but I still have a lot I want to accomplish before baby comes.
Plus I have a massage at 3pm. Score.
NYC - I second the advice to get on a pain med schedule. When I had my masssive accident (2002) it was crucial to stay on top of the pain. If you let it get ahead of you, as Pandora mentioned, it is harder to get it back under control. Good luck girl!
Linds - I'm so happy to see you posting. I can only imagine how hard it is...and how you must feel like you have to return to some semblance of 'order' (on foot in front of each other) just to get through the day. I'm thinking about you all the time. It really does seem so senseless, but I too have faith and feel like God has a plan. Natalie was not meant for this world, and in a way, I'm jealous of her life beyond. She will never have to experience the pain and sadness we feel. Lindsey, I'm just so relieved that you are surrounded by family. Take comfort in them. They sound like wonderful people.
Court - yikes. Poor you. You're at that stage of "git.her.outta.here!!" Why is sex not an option (if you don't mind me asking)? Those "prostate goblins" are supposed to help soften your cervix. So are fish oils. I'm glad you have your big ball. I sit on mine every evening too and feel like it helps a lot to engage the baby
. Hang in there home-girl!
PAndora - I've been drinking red raspberry leaf tea (3 per day) for over 2 weeks
. Get on it girl! It wont make you go into labour...just tones your UTE.
I know I'm forgetting tons of peeps. Gak. Sorry! I'm here, and celebrating all of your milestones, aches and pains with yas!
ETA: Sunkist. I have no idea why your doctor would suggest lowering your dose of Omega 3s. That is strange to me. They have SO many benefits during pregnancy, including helping minimize mood swings, and minimizing post-partum depression; not to mention the benefits to baby. I would NOT reduce your intake.
I take 1500mg (per day).
EPA - 750mg
DHA - 500
Other Fish oils - 250 (derived from sardines and anchovies)

Thanks ladies. I gave in my prescrip today. We are at bru returning the car seats..my sis and dh are in and im in car. I was hysterically crying this morning. Everything just got to me ...I looked at my house and just couldn''t believe what a disaster ...it looks like a tornado hit. Dh and family were there last nite putting things together, washing babies'' clothes and setting up, while I slept. I don''t blame them for such a mess...I blame myself for being unable to function and take care of my lo''s. I cant even go to the bathroom w.o. Dh''s help. Im so upset but im hopeful it will pass soon.
We are headed to the hospital to hopefully take them home.
I haven''t showered in a week!..sorry just picture that!
Will try to get bak to all of u individually once I get on my feet.

Pandora, sounds similar to how my DH was behaving at our Bradley class on Sunday. There''s only one other couple in our class and the teacher always gets us involved in discussions, but DH is usually rather reserved. On Sunday we played Jeopardy on advanced 1st stage labor techniques. We both get really competitive and it totally got him all riled up for the rest of class, lol. We couldn''t stop laughing for the rest of the night. After the game we were doing an exercise where the women were given pieces of paper with things to act out during our practice contractions. They were difficulties that our coaches might encounter during labor. One was breathing fast. DH realized what I was doing right away and had me slow my breathing. I couldn''t let him get off that easy though since I doubt it''ll be that easy when it''s the real thing, so I would slow my breathing and then quicken it up again. After the 3rd time he yelled, "Why won''t you listen to me, woman?!" He was completely not serious at all, but it was so hysterical and out of character for him to say something like that when we''re around people other than close friends or family. We were all laughing uncontrollably. I hope he''s that funny when I''m in labor cause laughing is supposed to really help with the pain and relaxation.
Lindsey, I''m sorry you''re having to deal with your milk coming in.
Another funny story from our class on Sunday: During Jeopardy, one of the questions was "which is more accurate, your due date based on LMP or early u/s?" I buzzed in first and gave the longest answer which apparently sounded like I''d memorized it out of a textbook according to DH and the instructor. What can I say, I really enjoyed reading TCOYF and I lurked and posted on the TTC thread as well as the GP board on the bump for a long time before we even started TTC. I know my shiz. lol.

Back from my trip to visit family (including my 3yo niece) in El Paso. I was able to read from my phone but not post. I shared a room with my niece, and while she slept at night I would catch up with reading here. When I read Lindsey''s news, I completely lost it. I just cannot fathom having to go through that. I couldn''t help but pull my niece into bed with me and just squeeze her tight (she slept right through it). Like a lot of you mentioned, I felt like my family would think I was just overly hormonal for being so upset about someone that I don''t even "know", so I didn''t share with them. Let''s just say I had many long hot showers over the course of my trip where I just stood there and cried thinking about Linds, her DH & family, and little Natalie. My DH was not with me, but I finally had to call him and tell him about it because I was just so upset. He was so sweet and, like many of your DH''s, really seemed to understand why I would be so upset and he was really sad too. It is just so hard to understand why things like this happen. It really helped to read everyone''s responses and support for Lindsey here, and reconfirmed for me what a wonderful place this is.
Lindsey, I am so glad you are surrounded by people who love you and support you. You are all in my prayers every night. I hope your milk goes away soon. It just seems such a cruel thing for mother nature to do that to you. It makes me so happy to see you posting here.
