Had my first ultrasound today and they found two sacs! I am so happy :giggle:
As soon as I can, I hope to post my first pics of the beans. I am 1 week behind what I thought I was. My babies are a little over 6 weeks.
My family and friends are praying that my babies make it past 12 weeks.
ETA: Found 2 heart beats too :)

Well they say with the more kids you have the more of a chance you will have twins:) I would die if I was, I think I would pass out on the floor after handing my baby to the Dr. :cry:

That is great news! Is your ob experienced w/ multiples? If not, ask about seeing a perinatologist who works w/ multiple pregnancies. There are a few things that are a little different. PM me if you ever want to discuss more. And again, awesome news!!!!!!
How exciting! congrats. My mom told me today that she thinks I might be having twins since my pants are already getting tight. I think I'm just eating too much salty stuff. :giggle: I will pray that your two little beans stick and grow!

Actually, she is! In fact, she said yesterday that I am the fourth mama in her practice right now pregnant with twins. I have a good feeling about my ob. She is so caring.

Wow!:lostit:
I would check with your ob on how she treats twin pregnancies. I have no doubt she's caring and a good OB, but twins throw a whole different perspective on it. For example, lots insist on more ultrasounds than a singleton, even if everything is going as planned. Nothing against those who do, but for me personally, I would not be comfortable with that. Some also like to induce past a certain number of weeks even if both babes and moms are doing find. You'll also want to find out her c/s rate with twins if you are hoping for a vaginal birth. It never hurts just to make sure you and your OB are on the same page.

I had a good long talk with my ob yesterday. She is all for me going into natural labor. She did say that she hopes that the first baby is head down so I can pursue my vbac. She knows how much I want a vbac and knows the story of the birth of my ds and how much it upset me.
I have another appt in 4 weeks, but not an u/s. She is scheduling an u/s at 16 weeks.
I asked about her c/s rate in general. She said 12-15% but she said some of that is repeat b/c the women don't know that they can go for a vbac or don't want to. She says that she has 4-5 vbac per month. She also mentioned that the hospital I want to deliver at is more naturally minded than the other hospitals in town.

Oh, I have thought about the fluffy nb stash!! I started cding with my ds at 6 mos so we have the mediums and larges now. I went the whole prefold and cover route with mediums.
When I found out I was preggers, I started checking out HC to find some cute diapers. Now that I will have 2 nb tushies to cover, I am not sure what to do. I will probably do the whole prefolds and covers since it is more economical. I might however, buy a few cute fitteds or AIO with embroidery for pics and coming home outfits. I have the $300 from the whole stimulus thing that we got for our ds that I will put towards diapers. I think it would cover a few dz prefolds and a covers and a few cute dipes especially if I buy used.

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!! :banana: :yay: I hope I'm having twins too!!
My twins were both born au natural at almost 38 weeks...vaginally:thumbsup: both were presenting head first and my twin A was born head first and my twin B was born breech. It was all good with no complications and like you, my ob had numerous sets of twins all delivering consecutive to mine. I am uber excited for you:hugs:
I also did the pf and cover routine with mine and that was excellent for them when they were tiny. I reccomend it for sure:thumbsup: :goodvibes:

congrats. and it sounds like your OB is right on board with you. Does your ob deliver breech at all or just head down?:goodvibes: :goodvibes:
my husband is an identical twin. I think he would be stoked if we were pregnant with twins right now.

She said that if the first one is head down and can be delivered and the 2nd one is breech, she is ok with that. B/c I have had a c/s and no vag birth, she is not allowed to deliver breech babies. So, I am praying that the first one will go head down so I can get my vbac!!

It's funny you posted this because while I was talking with my ob about making sure I keep up with my chiropractor so if need be, she can do the Webster technique and spinningbabies.com came to mind! I am not going to worry about it now. Come November and December we will see.
