Actually , you may be feeling them , but just think it's gas. It feels kinda like there are little bubbles popping in your bowel when they are that little, since you have never felt anything like it before , your brain compensates by associating it with something you are familiar with, impending farts.......so what you think may be bubble guts is actually fetal shenanigans..... Glad everything is cool , I mean except the whole cord / necks deal , but I am sure they will be smart enough to untangle themselves.....they can do that right?

Mm, considering all of the "gas" I've felt has been overwhelmingly painful I don't think it was babies. And the chord/neck is probably fine. I'm not too worried. I was just glad to have an answer. Not that I'm into "birthing plans" because it seems stupid to try to plan a natural disaster, but now I'm glad I know what will happen instead of like, oh, I dunno. Guess I'll know later.

Damn it! And I had McDonald's so now I'm trying to figure out if it's gas. Thanks Nadine. THANKS!
Now I'm going to be that crazy lady constantly poking my stomach and people are going to try to figure out what I'm doing. Just so long as I don't start screaming, "WHAT ARE YOU?! WHAT ARE YOU?!"

I'm not baffled things are moving. I'm baffled moving things feel like farts. It makes my jokes about shitting out babies less funny. Now I'm convinced every shart is a moving baby.
Tapeworms! Yes! Cause they be parasites!!!! LMAO... Anyway, i hate kids... but i will probably spoil yours rotten just like all my other friends' kids. :D So do you have a date??? or did i miss that somewhere???
Having a plan is always a good thing. Like you said, it's hard to plan a natural disaster. :D All I knew was that I wanted an epideral if I needed one and I wanted to avoid a C-section. I got the epideral and barely avoided a C-section. Who knew that I could easily get pregnant, but that my body would want to let my baby out into the world? Haha.
I know you'll be perfectly fine! :)
And do you know the sexes yet? It's probably too early to start a registry, but let me know when you do. :)
Still about two months off. Only at 13 weeks. And yes. Not only are they mono mono (aka identical twins) they're also in the same amniotic sac. Which is like 1-2% of all mono twins. So, rare!
And yeah, I wanted and epidural and to have as little cutting as possible. MMm, yeah, no. And that's okay! At least I know. Better to know than to not know and be all HURRRRR what? I know I COULD have handled the stress of an emergency c-section I just didn't want to.
Yeah, it's better to know in advance than have it be an emergency. I was minutes away from being an emergency c-section when Talia's head finally popped out. I was very relieved since I'm not good with getting cut.
Eep! That's super cool! It will be a lovely story to share with them as they get older. :) I can't wait to send you stuff so I'll be watching your journal like a hawk. :)
wow. i was going to go all crunch and be like wtf they scheduling a c section just because of twins.. its perfectly feesable to birth twins.. just a lot of doctors dont want to *or just dont have the training to* because one is almost guaranteed to be breech.. but i've never heard of them both being in the same sac. that's crazy. in that case.. you DEFINITELY need to get a boppy or something. you'll need something to lay them on that's not your stomach. they make nursing pillows like that specifically for twins, and it will help with the incision. dont let them schedule it too early.. i'd hate for you to have problems with already little babies because they wanted to cut you too early.
<3<3 i hope you dont think i'm being rude.. i'm excited for you. also.. the heads do look so big.
Oh no. I was really mad too because the doctors would be like...well...could be breach...could be this...could be that...we have to wait.
Finally my doctor was just like, no. NO! FUCK NO! NO. No. And honestly I can handle a straight answer of WE WANT YOUR BABIES TO BE SAFE vs. well...one could be breech or this or that or whatever.
And I think Boppys are coming so no worries. And you're not rude. For real. If it was up to me I'd be popping a squat and shooting out babies (just like that) but this is completely reasonable and I'd prefer to not have a strangled baby.
yeah. i looked up what its called "nochial x1, x2 or whatever.. " is what the doc says to the nurses when there is a cord around the neck, x2 for wrapped around twice.. x1 for once... because my dad had a sister that was stillborn because of that.. my real dad was a twin and his brother was stillborn because of the cord.. and six months after having t my cousin lost her baby the day before he was supposed to be born because of the cord... so i completely understand. it was my biggest fear too. one of my residents at the nursing home... that i loved dearly and everyone called granny.. was very excited about me being pregnant. but she told me something and its stuck. you'll never know worry until youre a parent. there's soo much to be worried about. you would think that since theyre in there and nothing can get to them they'd be all nice and safe but its not like that... lol
They both have heart beats so I figure so long as I keep hearing a heart I'm pretty okay. Also my doctor said this next two week check up might be my last since it's been like almost a week since I've had any spotting. But it's true. I'm totally freaked out and Mike and I basically had a huge crying session the other day.

I'm such a nerd.
I've never been cut but I hear so many unpleasant things about it I really didn't want to, but I'm all about safe not sorry.
