23wk update...

16	Fri, 04-08-2011 - 1:29pm

Ive seen this Dr about 5xs. Each time he acts like Ive never seen him before, its so weird.

Definite marginal placenta previa, no sex, no internal exams.

Said 1 babe has less fluid but its still a good amt.

Cervix is good. Baby A 1.5oz 50% & Baby B 1.4oz 39%. I was hoping for bigger babes. It could be worse though.

*mindy*

Well, you did get some good news. And I always understood that twins were a little smaller anyway. Sorry your doc seems not to know you. Some times you can tell when they have a bigger patient load. Some times it seemed like my midwife knew me better than other times. They do get very busy. I'll pray your placenta previa goes away too.

I hope the placenta moves. I'm sure those boys will grow quickly do t worry about that! Weird abt the doc, I hate when they are like that.

I hate when docs act like that. umm... hello, flip through my chart before walking in the door, isn't that why they put them in that little pocket outside the door anyway??? duh ;)

Glad your babies are growing well - they sound good to me! FX that the placenta previa goes away...

Thanks everyone.
Actually twins are usually about the same size & don't have their own chart from a singleton at this stage, Im not sure if they do at any stage. They are smaller in the end as there is no room to grow. My twin book said that 1lb4oz was 50th percentile for 23 wks, granted its probably older data but its something...

Yes, Drs do get busy but I see this guy every 2 wks & his specialty is the kind of twins I have. I guess I should feel better he doesn't know who I am as that would mean I was a problem & something to keep in his mind or be seeing more frequently.

Anyway I did get to see one of their cute little faces straight on. Aw my little boy! Im so excited! They must be kicking each other in their faces though as they are positioned exactly opposite.

One more week & they have 90% viability rate :) Im pretty confident they will stay put for awhile longer though.

LOL! I'm dying thinking about your babes kicking each other in the face! I hope they don't come out with any bruises! :-)
