@Lakarmw I hope the stomach muscles don't give you too much trouble and recede as normal once baby is here.

Ah thank you Neomasie :) fingers crossed, I keep worrying about it then telling myself off as I can't do anything to control it, and it's worth it in the end anyway xxx

Dragonfly, with my dd, everytime i got off my stomach would knot up on the right. She stayed on the right side, but my whole side would draw up and get hard for about 5 min or so. It can be completely normal.

@Kelliria. Thank you! That means a lot to me.

Back from appt with OB and bub is doing great. Active and moving about a lot. Strong heartbeat. Got my stitches and staples out and feel better already. I couldn't be more relieved

I hope everyone's doing well, especially those who've been quiet for a few weeks and good luck to anyone with upcoming appointments!

@neomasie. So glad your appointment went well and such a relief to get the stiches and staples out.

Feeling not to bad this morning. Bus driver was really quiet today and just mumbled hello to me. Not sure if he is allowed to talk to me until the investigation is over. I really don't want him to get into too much trouble as accidents happen. This morning is my doctors appointment to make sure things baby is okay. Have been feeling some pushes last night so it's reassuring for me. Before bed as I was lying on my back and I felt the hard ball near my right belly button and on the left side near the belly button, so I am thinking that is the baby. I am so looking for my appointment on Monday so I know exactly where the baby is lying and hope to find out the sex.

I haven't been around a lot lately but found this so figured I jump in and say hello! I'm Cait, I'm 29, will still be 29 when my twin BOYS arrive hopefully in August. I'm 26w2d with my December FET cycle. I have a 4yr old son that is super proud to be a big brother and I am over the moon to be an all boy mom, honestly my preference lol So many people come to me and ask if I wished for a girl and I honestly did not. I love my boys, this world needs more gentlemen. Anyway, these two boys decided Wednesday night(5/23) to try and come early! I went into preterm labor, drove myself to the hospital and got it stopped. Thank god! All has been quiet since then, we are going to buckle down and finish the nursery this weekend and hoping to have these boys cooking until at least July but I am due 8/29, doc bumped it up to 8/15 due to being twins and 38wks is full term for twins. I will be happy and lucky to make it to 32wks but that's my own goal and I want each baby over 5lbs to avoid NICU time. Otherwise I am very healthy and happy and WAY smaller with these twins than I was with my son.

My appointment went well. Heartbeat at 142 and found out where the baby is lying. Feet are to the right and head to the left but he says it changes periodically. He took a swab to make sure there is no infection going on but he says everything is fine. Such a relief.

@coelh102 welcome and congrats on the two little gentlemen. Please take of yourself and rest. Preterm labor is no joke! Feet up and flat! Direct all the prepping of the nursery from a recliner if you can haha

Glad to hear babies are staying put and you're feeling better.

Hey everyone!! I’m currently 21 years old & will be 22 when the baby will get here!! I got my BFP when I was 9 dpo & now I’m currently 5 weeks & 1 day pregnant!! My DH is also 21 & is in the army & we don’t have any other kids. This will be our first! I’m so excited yet nervous at the same time! Congratulations & good luck to everyone!!
