Tweety
Twins pregnancy is totally different from singleton. You'll start feeling babies kicking sooner den others.
By certain weeks, their position is almost fixed and you definitely know who is who and sometimes, you can press tummy and can feel their heart beats.
When u sleep, they'll sleep. and when u move, goosh! you'll have double the actions. Sometimes, when one kick the other, the other will also fight back.. mummy will suffer lor. But it's very fun seeing your tummy having lots of pop ups! One of my twin likes to play with my bladder.. always make me go to pee and when I finally struggle to the toilet, she'll press against the duct and no urine will come out. So must sit a little longer and the urine will come. Very nauty gal.
By the middle of 2nd trimester, you'll start having Braxton hicks already. Chances are you will be given anti-contraction pills to prolong your term. Towards end of 2nd trimester, your tummy, intestine are all pushed up. You'll probably can eat only a little amount of food and feel full already.
Can forget about going shopping when you are in 3rd trimester.. too heavy to move also.
You'll have more detailed scanning as compared to the singleton mummies. Cos they have to monitor the growth of the baby more closely. You'll need more supplements den the rest. Most importantly is the iron and calcium.
For you, full term is 37 weeks and ideal baby weight is 2.5kg. If yours' is identical will have to be careful of twin to twin transfusion syndrome, that's why you'll be monitored more closely.
EAt well, rest well and enjoy the pregnancy. Dun go shopping whole day for babies' items, cos walking too much may trigger BH again. Not every gets to enjoy this. Think positive.
If really need to buy, just get the necessities. The rest, KIV and know where to get and when you need it. Get someone to buy for you after babies are born. These days, you can get lots of things in kiddy palace or mothercare.
Oh yes, when babies are bigger, you need to sleep on both sides to have a balance, otherwise one will always be pressing on the other. Can forget about sleeping on your back.. Very heavy, sure got bcak ache. Sometimes, when you turn from one side to the other. Both babies will wake up and they will protest. The one on the bottom will struggle and the one finally got freedom will stretch.. Very nice feeling and you will sure laugh. Talk to them, always tell them to be nice to each other.
