I had my 26 week check up last week, did my glucose test, measured my fundus, listened to babies heartbeats! All is well! I passed my glucose test thank goodness no 3 hour test for me, oh how I despise that 3 hour test!!! My iron was low so they want me to take iron supplements on top of the prenatals, goodbye regular bowel movements.
My fundus was measuring 34 weeks, I was so sad, that's 8 weeks ahead of my current gestation. With twins its normal to measure ahead by 6-7 weeks if I remember right I was at the 6 week mark with the last set of twins, my weight gain is pretty stable though, by that I mean I'm gaining at a normal pace, not too much or too little. The Dr. said it could be the way they're laying. I know my back is unhappy with me and my abdominal muscles have given up all hope of holding up my uterus, I keep trying but they refuse to work for very long. I'm starting to wonder if they can get so bad my insurance company might consider a tummy tuck a medical necessity and pay for it?? lol
Babies are moving like crazy, sometimes I think they're having seizures they move so much. My legs are starting to swell but just a little I'm sure it's going to get worse. I'm almost in my 3rd trimester which means they're going to start gaining all their weight which means all my symptoms are going to intensify dramatically! I got this it's my last pregnancy, I can handle 10 more weeks or so. I want healthy babies out of this deal, no NICU stays, or trouble eating or any problems for the IP's other than the normal every 2 hour feedings, and the poopy diapers.
Home life is improving slightly, finally sold the house, and found somewhere to live that's affordable and fits all my kids and I comfortably. Oh and the cat, insert eye roll, we can't survive without the cat! Moving while pregnant isn't ideal, but I'm doing it. Hoping to start slowly and pay someone for the really heavy stuff. And I have people to help too which is amazing! Starting to feel like I can finally start my life soon! 10 more weeks, 10 more weeks!!!
