Well I had my appointment with the Hematologist today and because the blood disorder is not compounded with other componets the additional folic acid is all I need. The doctor said you cannot over dose on Folic Acid. He said that what ever the body does not absorb you will pass normally. He said it can only help never hurt. He said that after the babies are born I will have to stay on at least 2000 mg of folic acid for the rest of my life but that is ok, I will take it.
Now the next hurdle is Thursday at my 15 week sonogram. This is when we lost our baby last time. I am scared of this appointment and I hope not to hear those words ever again. If I can get through this I think I will start to feel more confident about actually going to term, but will of course still be worried. So if anyone has some extra prayers laying around I would appreciate them for my babies.
I am going in tomorrow afternoon for a bit of reassurance. I asked if I could see the nurse but my OB is on call that day so I'm having a quick visit with her.
Happy Wednesday, girls! How's everyone feeling today? I am a little nervous about my appointment today but I keep telling myself that it's going to be uneventful. I don't think I'm going to mention to her that I've been using the doppler at home ;-)
Sandi--thanks for the words of encouragement on the potty training!
Sandi: Don't worry about twins just yet. I'm sure that your stomach is pretty willing to pop out after carrying twins. You could just be experiencing a pooch because of that. I don't know if I told you but I am a twin. I don't know how it would be to raise them, but being one is pretty cool sometimes.
Leslie: I don't know anything about potty training but it seems to me that you are doing everything right. I mean you can't go to the bathroom for him right? He'll get better and better as time goes on.
All: I've decided to try to get a doppler check today! I'm going to call the office as soon as they open to see if they can squeeze me in. I mean, I might as well go in today instead of hoping for a check tomorrow especially considering I have today off from work. I have to admit that I sometimes worry I don't feel pregnant enough. I try to avoid it by just looking at pregnancy books and stuff but it is unavoidable sometimes even though I really have no reason to believe anything is wrong. I'm such a worry wart.
I found out at my 6 week sonogram. The sonogram tech asked me if this was a natural pregnancy and I said yes why? She replied with I see a heartbeat here and one over here, so that is how we found out. I started showing right away, I have had two previous pregnancies and the missed miscarrage at 17 weeks 5 months ago. I am getting to look like the goodyear blimp, and you can definately tell I am quite pg!

Hello Ladies,
Well I had my appointment with the Hematologist today and because the blood disorder is not compounded with other componets the additional folic acid is all I need.

I hope everyone has a wonderful night.

Lisa:
I'll be thinking about you Thursday. It'll be easy not to forget too cause I have my parenting class that day so I'll be at my clinic.
Random begging to noone in particular: Please, please, please let me get a doppler check in addition to my class.
Peggy, good luck with doppler vibes!
I am going in tomorrow afternoon for a bit of reassurance. I asked if I could see the nurse but my OB is on call that day so I'm having a quick visit with her.

Lisa - how early did you find out you were having twins?

Hello, ladies!
Sandi,

I guess its a common concern or wish...whichever applies to you... about the twins.
