Last night I had my first dream where I saw babies, and there were 2 of them! I have dreams almost every night that I wake up and remember. Since getting pregnant I have often dreamt that I talked or thought about being pregnant. It often happens when I do something or before I do something and realize I shouldn't because I am pregnant.
Last night was the first time I saw babies. I was holding them in my lap and they were probably close to 6 months old. Both were chubby smiley little boys.
I had mentioned to W a week or 2 ago that I hadn't had any dreams about twins. I think I am starting to embrace this more.
W and I talked more about the NT scan and we're not sure we're going to do it. Any advice making decisions? Any results won't change how we proceed with this pregnancy.
We skipped the NT scan with our boys. We knew it wouldn't change anything, and with twins you get a lot of ultrasounds anyway so an 'extra' didnt seem as necessary as I'm sure it would feel of we were only having a couple with a singleton.
ReplyDeleteWe only did the NT scan for the extra ultrasound. It didn't really make any difference to us what the results were. But, if you are having ultrasounds weekly anyways you probably don't need it. I'm not sure if I have commented recently, but I just want to say how happy I am for you! I started reading your blog when you got pregnant on the Lupron. I was cycling with you then. I just kept hoping that you would get pregnant again and I am just thrilled you are having twins. It is such an amazing experience all around. I really look forward to following your pregnancy and journey into mommyhood.

We skipped the NT scan. The results didn't matter to us either and I've heard the results can be off (with the blood draw) with twins anyway. So awesome about your dream!!
ReplyDeleteI guess we chose to do it, not because it would have changed anything, but because we wanted to be prepared for any issues-and figure out a plan of action before she was born. Plus, it's a nice big relief when results come back normal--which they most likely will in your case :)
ReplyDeleteWe actually have an appointment to go over all of our options for genetic testing this week. I really don't know what I want to do, if anything. I don't think the results would change anything. It would be more for peace of mind or if anything was wrong to be able to prepare for it.
ReplyDeleteI did the NT scan and wished that I hadn't . But thank god we also did the M21 test as well. Our NT scan came back positive for downs, but our M21 came back negative for all three. We did go and see a perinatologist just to be sure, and he was very confident in the M21 and told us our baby was very healthy. Both my ob and our perinatologist said the blood draw from the NT scan was a false positive which happens more then not. All his measurements were in normal range. They said my proteins were low because of were my placenta was lying. But if I had to do it over again I would not do the blood draw. It made me so upset that I had done it to begin with when our son is perfectly healthy. If we ever get pregnant again I will not be doing it. Hope this helps in your decision.
ReplyDeleteI did the NT and wish I hadn't. We are high risk of abnormalities, but refused invasive testing because we wouldn't have changed our mind either way. Next time, if we're lucky, I'll have the 12 week scan, but opt out of bloods.
ReplyDeleteHOLY HELL, Liz. Congrats!!! I've been out of the blogging world (due to my own twins) and am finally getting back into it. WOW. I'm thrilled for you!!! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it this far! This is fabulous! The NT scan has no risk, so for me I would do it. The bloodwork is I believe quite inaccurate with twins, so not worth doing. Good luck!
