17w update

Sunday night I went to the ER. I had some cramping off an on (seemed like every 30-40 minutes at some points) so off I went. I just had to put my mind at ease that nothing was wrong. They did an ultrasound and said everything looks good per that. He didn't do an internal exam. I called my Dr office Monday and told them (per ER doc's orders). The Dr on call (guess mine wasn't in) said to go on bedrest (modified) until my Dr appt on Jan 9th (or thereabouts). I was watching the screen during the ultrasound. My cervix measured 3.12 and 3.2 during the 2 times she measured (abdominally). I was really hoping it would be over 3.5 at least. But hopefully now at least my Dr and the Peri will agree to watch it.

Oh and did find out that one of the babies is 100% Of course the other baby was still shy. I keep saying "She".


We also got our 2nd Trimester screening results back regarding the Downs/T18. They came back Negative!! Woohoo!!!! I did not ask for specific odds so that is one less thing I can stress about.

I have been feeling ok since Sunday night... I've had some cramping off and on but It's not consistent like it was on Sunday. And sometimes my stomach feels really really heavy!!! I don't know if that's because I was overweight to begin with or if it's because I'm carrying twins. Maybe I will look into one of those prenatal belts or something.

I still try to nap everyday... I'm nauseous occasionally. Still have food adversions as well. Besides that I'm just getting really excited about our Anatomy scan. Hard to believe I am 17 1/2 weeks already!
