Still no babies!
Hello all!
We have internet access at home now, actually we've had it for a couple of days, but I haven't wanted to post because I've been waiting on some blood test results to see if I had a liver condition that could harm the babies, and I was just too stressed out.
But I don't think I do...they told me the results would come today, and I could phone to find them out myself at 2pm, but that a doctor would PROBABLY call me in the morning if there was a serious problem. It's 12.38pm now, and no one has called, so I am being cautiously hopeful. If I do call at 2 and the test was fully negative, I will be cracking open the bubbly!
Oh wait...no I won't : ). But I will eat a big piece of cheese, as since the condition was suspected I have been having to keep fat intake to below 5g a day. Which was hard! Even if it was only 3 days :D.
Well, I am now a week over the average for twin deliveries (36 weeks). I do have painful contractions but have managed to keep the babies in so far by limiting activity.
I am really behind on my 'things to do list' though, because I am in complete denial that the babies are coming! When I think ahead a few days, I can picture them being here...it's just that whenever I wake up I can't imagine them being born TODAY.
I have still only gained 14lb. None at all in the past 6 or 7 weeks. The babies, however, are clocking up a half pound gain each every week, they weigh about 6lb each now. Bump measures 52 inches! They are both head down so going for a natural birth unless things change. Got another scan and OB appointment tomorrow.
Anyway, will keep you posted, lots of love xxx
