a half a dozon

Yes thats right six. I had just talked my husband into just one more, with the condition that it was just one more. We already had four wonderful children, 2 boys 2 girls but I felt our family just wasn't complete and he agreed that maybe there was one more. So shortly after the test came back positive he went for the snip(just to make sure there was just one more). Well my symptoms were a bit worse than the first four pregnancies but I just brushed it off on being the busy mom of four kids under seven so imagine the suprise when the ultrasound tech,( a close friend who knew of the just one more rule) started laughing in the middle of the ultrasuond yep there were two. Well to say my husband was shocked is a bit of an understatment but he did laugh with the rest of us and pointed out to everyone that I always get my way(I hate odd numbers) and the best was yet to come we have just been blessed with a baby boy and his little sister.

Pregnant With Twins!! Surprise!!

I found out I was pregnant on July 5th, 2006. I was only 4 weeks from LMP. I was really excited, but also feeling fear, due to having a m/c in april, 2006. My fears seemed to be coming true...A half hour after I found out, I went to the ladies room and had slight bleeding but it was red...then pink, then gone by the time I was done going potty. I went to the emergency room to go get checked out, and they found an hCG level of 352. They warned me it may be an ectopic pregnancy or threatened m/c. I went home and was called in to get lab work done the next day (only 12 hours later). My hCG level jumped to 641!! I was told to make an appointment and that was that...I was really pregnant!!
So....now comes the fun part.
A few weeks went by and on sunday night, july 24, 2006 I went to go stand up and had severe stabbing pain in my lower left belly. I went to the hospital to get checked again the next morning, and my hCG level was 64197!!! They decided to do an ultrasound to check the BABY...key word....baby. I had just emptied my bladder and told the technician and he decided to do a ultrasound on my tummy anyways, just to see what he could see. I saw 2 black spaces in my uterus...He said, "wow, you're having twins" I said "no, I am not....and it isn't nice to lie to a pregnant lady like that" as I was giggling...I asked him about 24 more times and he kept his word, swearing to me I am pregnant with twins! He said, "don't get too upset yet" ( I was crying, and laughing at the same time, totally delirious!) he said he was going to do the vaginal u/s also (with phase II) We saw absolutely the most amazing, most beautiful picture ever...My 1st view of my babies was thid: They were in 2 little sacs right next to each other, facing each other! and baby B was on my left side moving its arms and had a strong healthy heart, baby A seemed to be asleep and had a strong healthy heart! I cried and felt like a new woman.
Not only am I a gemini (sign of the twins) I am carrying twins that I conceived in June, and my middle name is June!! How strange. I am a mommy to be of 2 new little precious babies. My original due date was on March 12th...now it is moved to february sometime. My symptoms at 5-7 weeks (I am 7 1/2 weeks now) are: a little morning sickness, especially if I don't eat right when I am hungry, heartburn, severe breast pain and enlargement, round ligament pain (due to me measuring 10 weeks yet only 7!) minor headaches, severe constipation, and extremely exhausted with the little things I do, feels like a challenge to take a shower or walk up the stairs! Hopefully that will subside in the next months. so, that is my story.
Thanks to the Lord for giving me 2 precious babies.

triplets

I just found out we are having triplets. We are completley shocked we have a 51/2 month girl and an 11 yr. boy. My doctor said I could never have any more children after my first was born. I was never on fertility so when i found out I was pregnant with my 5 1/2 month it was a complete surprise, then I took birth control and I'm pregnant with triplets Crazy

Confused

My aunt and myself are both pregnant. We're 4 days apart. Her 3rd my 1st. Anyways she's a nurse so I've been getting to cheat. Early doppler test and early ultrasound. Well at 17 weeks my aunt let me cheat and we looked at the ultrasound to see what i was having (she had just found out she was having a little girl) The ultrasound said girl. Clear as day it was a little girl. My aunt was even going on about how mine was more clearer than hers and how much bigger my baby was than hers... Well when i went to my actual dr for my actual u/s. It was a boy. Since the beginning I've been dreaming about twins a boy and a girl.. (Just chose to ignore) At 7 weeks i had to go to the er (threatened miscarriage) and the u/s showed two fetus' (I chose to ignore) And now with a huge baby I'm not sure if its a girl or if it's a boy... I still can't get the vision of those two from 7 wks and the two flickers on both of them out of my head. The dr has only looked at the side of the baby never the face so i dunno if there are two in there just jumping back and forth trying to confuse me. I felt first fetal movement almost 9 weeks and its been constant since (just not hard enough to feel on the outside yet) So I'm very very confused about it.. Is it one just really big hyper baby or two rambunctious babies wreaking havoc? Any advice?

Excited

I found out I was pregnant with twins on my routine ultrasound at five months. My doctor hadn't heard two heartbeats and my uterus hadn't been measuring any larger then it would have for a single baby so I never thought that having twins was even possible. On the day of the ultrasound my husband and I were so excited to finally see the baby and find out if we were having a boy or a girl when the tech informed us that we were not having one baby but two. One boy and one girl. It took a while before my husband and I could stop laughing. This is our first pregnancy and we are so blessed to have two for the price of one. I am now 30 weeks along and getting bigger each day. I can't wait until I get to meet my two babies!
