Uh, if my twins stopped growing at 30 weeks then they'd have been born at 39 weeks at 2 pounds each. Instead, they were born at 6 pounds 6 ounces and 7 pounds 6 ounces. That just doesn't even make sense. But, of course, there is a TON of bad information on multiple gestation out there. A well researched book is Expecting twins, triplets, and quads by Barbara Luke. I would really encourage your friend to continue her research; looking...

Thanks so much for sharing!!! Sounds like a wonderful birth and I am just so happy for you!!! Your girls are just lovely, mama!! YAY!!

If you feel strongly then you should definitely get another u/s. For me, I had no symptoms at all (which was the same with my other pregnancies, no m/s, tender bbs, nothing). The only clue I had at all was that I was bigger than normal and so many people told me that it was just because this is my third pregnancy. I'm glad they checked your tubes. No worries then.

i know the amount of movement varies from baby to baby but i really expect to be feeling more with twins! with dd, i didn't start feeling her until 19 weeks. i'm now 20 weeks with twins and i've felt them on an off... over the weekend it did become pretty consistent but the last three days i haven't felt a thing. i'm so scared for them and i think knowing that they are momo and the risk of a cord accident is high...

It was painful off and on until shortly after the babies were born. By 36 weeks, you are less likely to have the...

Tomorrow morning is it! I go back and forth thinking...no WAY it can be twins to...well it Has to be twins, lol. Like this morning I woke up and my tummy seemed so small I thought....no way. Then laying down tonight I got kicks at the same time, one wayyy low, about an inch to the right of the top of my public bone and one about a half inch above and an inch to the left of my belly button! I thought...no way that at just over 17 weeks my...

Congratulations on your beautiful/healthy family and a wonderful home birth!
