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.

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!!

@sabrinaaababy. Congrats on your first. I pray you have a happy and healthy nine months. When is your first ultrasound?

Really pleased your appointment went well neomasie, you must be so relieved to have your staples and stitches out, must feel more comfortable too :)

coelh102 congratulations on your twin boys! How amazing :) My sister's are twins are their bond is amazing, twins are very special. Please keep rested, my best friend had her little boy a week and a half ago at 32 weeks, he's in nicu, he's perfect he can breathe by himself and has no problems at all, but he hasn't yet learned to suck so can't feed by himself yet, so he's got to stay put until he learns it, which he is slowly slowly :) he's doing fantastic, but she is finding it hard being back and forth from hospital as she has 2 other children. So truly keep as rested as possible, tokeep those babies inside for as long as possible:)

Congratulations to you also Sabrinaababy.

I was having lots of movement last night from baby, they must have been having a really active time as I was having definite movement for at least ten minutes :) xxx

Thank you very much! @dragonfly I’m going in for an appointment next week which will make me 6 weeks but I don’t think there will be an ultrasound. Probably blood work and what not. The ultrasound I know for a fact will be at 8 weeks. This is still so unreal for me!

Congrats and welcome @sabrinababy

How exciting @Lakarmw besides finally holding baby in your arms, baby movements make all the trials and tribulations of pregnancy so worth it! I can't wait for more explicit obvious movement

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone had a good weekend and doing well. I'm awake half hour before my alarm as I can't sleep. Little one sort of keeps waking me up. Plus today is the day I finally get to see my baby and hopefully find out the gender. A lot of people have been saying boy. However, my hubby still says it's a girl and I'm sloly starting to believe him after all this time of me saying it's a boy. So I'm hoping to finally lay this to rest. My appointment is at 10:20, so I will post pictures when I'm able.
