With 4 weeks left I am now going to the dr every week. At my last appt. they noticed that my little princess was not gaining as much weight as she should and was now measuring 3 weeks behind schedule. My dr has paid extra attention to this all along because this is common when carrying twins....1 baby decides they want more food and takes it... In my case big bully brother is a pig! (Oh great, I can already see the future!) So, my dr decided to send me to a specialist
just to make sure everything else was ok and that there was no other reason why she wasn't getting the food she needs. I met with the specialist last Friday (loved him and would recommend if you need one) and he basically confirmed what the dr saw. He recommend two things: a non-stress test twice a week until I deliver AND take the babies a week early or somewhere between 37-38 weeks. (Really?!?!? I already gave up on my April babies by going with March 21st and NOW we gotta go a week earlier... That takes us somewhere between March 14th and March 21st. Well, I can tell you it won't be March 16th!)
I started my testing on Monday and all was well. Went for part 2 yesterday and big bully gained 12oz, officially weighing in at 5lbs 9oz and little princess gained 1lb, officially weighing in at 4lbs 12oz.(she now measures on schedule and is only a week behind big bully).
So as I get ready for week 2 of testing, I am excited to see my little princess take back what's hers from big bully and put him in his place!!
