Newlyweds in our 30s - baby Mancini

Hello Mamas!!

I am a newlywed! Hubby and I got married in Dominican in May 2017. We decided to enjoy a few months of newlywed bliss before trying to get pregnant. I have mild spinal bifida occulta. Doctor suggested I start Folic Acid prior to conceiving. I started taking 4000mg of Omega 3 and 4mg of folic acid daily along with my multi vitamin prior to the wedding. I started early and really prepare my body.

We started baby dancing in September 2017. It didn't work the first month. This month, October, I feel different, I feel pregnant. I can't wait to test! I'm so bloated, gassy and upset stomach. My stomach is always gurgling, not a "I'm hungry" sound.. Mostly feels like gas moving around or organs shifting. haha! Hubby thinks it funny how much noise my stomach is making. Other symptoms is crankiness and shortness of breath. I have 19 stairs at work and I'm catching my breath after going up the stairs. Never an issue before.

Now the exciting part! My father is a twin, my aunts are twins. Yep, grandma had 3 sets of twins. My aunts had twins. My mom was pregnant of twins after me but lost the pregnancy. So.. I'm hoping for twins!! I also read online high dosage of Folic Acid increases your chances of twins up to 40%. Now it's online reading so I don't believe everything but it did make me smile. :)

So, I'm 9dpo (Nov 29th). My periods are due on Monday, Dec 4th. I'll be testing on Friday, Dec 1st. I'll keep you posted!!!

Good Luck mamas!!
