Had my first nonstress test today!! I was a bit hopeful that it would pick up a bunch of contractions but I only had one in that whole time. The babies are both doing great. A is down very low now and boy can I feel that!
My OB offered to check me for dilation but I declined. I’d like to be with my family tomorrow for thanksgiving so I didn’t want to risk anything. I feel like it can’t be long now anyway. If I’m wrong and they don’t come in the next few days then it’s not much longer anyway. 12 days from now I’ll have my babies! It might feel like an eternity because this point in twin pregnancy is excruciatingly painful (at least it is for me!) but it’s my last pregnancy and really such a blessing to experience in the first place.
If the babies stay in for long enough I’ll have my final ultrasound on Monday morning. Then I’ll go in a couple days later for anothe NST and then I’m done with doctor appointments!! That’s crazy to me. There have been days that I cried thinking I just can’t handle the pain anymore but I’m getting by! The days are moving quickly and the big day is coming. 60% of twins are born before 37 weeks so I still have a decent chance of having them in the next 4 days but I’m not holding my breath anymore. I’m in a twin pregnancy birth club and so many sets of twins have been born, many that were due after mine. I don’t want to feel envious now just because I’m in the safe zone. I just want to embrace that I’m one of the few still going strong!
So my next update will either be my 37 week ultrasound or the big announcement!
