Our 28 week appointment went well. Not too much to report. The doctor wanted to make sure that I knew bedrest of some sort could eventually become a reality in the next couple of months. She also emphasized that the average twin pregnancy lasts only 35-36 weeks (which puts us in the middle of March). We then had the following conversation:
Dr: Have you been experiencing any contractions.
Me: No
Dr: (Placing the Doppler on my abdomen to check the babies’ heartbeats which sound great). Do you feel how hard your abdomen is right now?
Me: Yes
Dr: That’s because you are having a contraction!
Me: Oh, well, then yes, I guess I have been experiencing contractions.
Future Appointments: Jeff and I are attending our Child Birth class on February 6th, and the next appointment is February 8th and our next ultrasound is February 10th. The ultrasound appointment is with a perinatologist (this is a high-risk obstetrician , not to be confused with a person who studies dinosaurs) so we maybe will be able to see the babies in 3D.
