Rach--I didn't have an incompetent cervix, but a twin pregnancy. I felt like your doctor stated..worried about everything I did possibly causing pre-term labor. But once I reached 36 weeks, I just couldn't wait for the babies to be born so I could be comfortable again. Then I had to be induced at 38 weeks. Even my doctor couldn't believe that I went that long.

Savanphil-Thanks! We thinks out little ones are sweet and beautiful!

CanadaLaura--I remember waiting for my 1st appointment. It seemed like I had to wait forever and I was so impatient to hear the baby's heartbeat. It turned out there were babies, but we only ever heard one heartbeat up until my 20 week appointment with the ultrasound.

Marilyn--I don't think it's terrible that you wouldn't necessarily want to breastfeed. I think everyone feels like that who knows how difficult breastfeeding and pumping can be. I pretty much just tried to make it through one day at a time until 6 weeks. Even now I have a hard time breastfeeding although my babies have good latches, etc. now. It's just a lot of work and I literally breastfeed every hour during the day when the babies are awake. It might be my supply I guess.

One of my babies had group B strep and was in the NICU 2 weeks so I had to pump for her until she could latch onto the breast (up until 6 weeks--she had nipple confusion). It was so hard pumping--and so discouraging when I sometimes just got drops of milk. Babies are more efficient than pumps, so it's much easier to nurse the baby directly.

If I had to pump again like that, I think I would go crazy and probably give up breastfeeding. I think the only reason I didn't give up this time is because I had one who did breastfeed well and I felt that my breastfed baby would be healthier or smarter than my non-breastfed baby, whether that is true or not.

Anyway, my twins had their 2 month appointment on Wednesday. They've oth gained 5 lbs. since birth. Haneul is in the 75th percentile for growth, weighing 11 lbs. 2 ounces and measuring 22.5 inches. Iseul is in the 90th percentile weighing 12 lbs. 14 ounces and measuring 23 inches. So I guess all of that hard work is paying off. I couldn't believe they were so big at birth and I can't believe they're so big now!

Take care all!

Kristi and Seung-ho (U.S. / S. Korea)

So - I went in for an early ultrasound on Monday - I *thought* I was about 7.5 weeks, only measured 5.5 weeks though. I am *really hoping* I was really mistaken on my dates. Having a repeat scan Monday to check for growth and will get my second HCG back tomorrow to see if it's doubling properly.

I am super scared that I am going to miscarry again.

Need positive thoughts!!!!!

Congratulations :thumbs:

Well i had another appointment yesterday with my doc, i'm almost 39 weeks now and he said yesterday its time to book me for induction. We agreed on next tuesday 12th which is 3 days short of my actual due date of the 15th!

I'm all apanic now its actually going to happen, gotta be at labor and delivery by 6 that morning, but have to be up before 4 (2 hours before) to call and make sure my appointment still stands, as you never know with these babies, they just arrive when they wanna!!

Anyway.... at least now my mum can make her plans to come over, which she did yesterday by booking her flight :D

Altho i'll miss the little man kicking and poking me, i'll be so glad to have my body back to myself again, it just aint big enough for the 2 of us....

Hope all you ladies are doing good :thumbs:

Take Care
