20 WEEKS

Well a few weeks ago I didnt think I would make it this far but Im beginning to feel more confident that I will make it to the end. But Im still not out of the woods yet because I have the fear of Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome looming over my head. I posted a question in a twins forum about TTTS and out of like 100 women maybe 10 started to show signs of it but not so bad that they had to have anything done. 1 women did say that she had to get her laser surgery to have her placenta cut in half but that both her twins still survived. It only affects like 10% of twins anyway but Im still concerned because it can happen.

I had some pain today in my sides and in my lower abdomen. My doctor said it was probably just round ligament pain but that if I needed some reassurance to come in. I stayed home only because it was more of a discomfort because I couldnt get comfortable to take a nap because it was stinging. I finally dozed off and it went away. My Babe brought me this really cool pillow called a snoogle, its like a big gigantic cheese curl. You can twist it all types of ways. Its can even be twisted into a breast feeding pillow. So it is well worth the $55. It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud...I think Im in love...I also brought a wedge so when I sleep on my side I can put it under my belly.....heaven....I swear. I still dont feel the girls much, just light taps here and there. With my boys by now they were giving me spectacular performances. A friend told me to ask my Dr if I have a ''anterior placenta''. That can mask the movement and I wont feel them move until later in my pregnancy. I'll ask him when I go in next week.

Overall I feel pretty good, just tired but no one understands, well, a few people do. Its like Im totally drained. I must say this is truly a different experience. Women carrying single babies should never complain. And a woman that has never carried twins would never understand. But thats neither here nor there I know what I have to do to take care of myself and Babe takes good care of me also. No sense in complaining about things that you cant change....right.
