So, I'm Pregnant. What's the Big Deal?
August 14, 2009 at 11:25 AM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (13)
I was over the moon when I found out about my son, my first pregnancy that took a little bit of doing. I was a tad shocked but still pleased when I learned about my daughter (who was coming sooner than expected).
So, sure, it's hard for me to relate to what moms like briana_paige are feeling:

They did confirm once again that these are fraternal twins (or "roomates" as the doctor calls them). They are each separate from each other with two placentas and two complete sacs. He also says that as far as twins go, this is the best case scenario because they are not sharing anything but my uterus. That is welcome news.

I also went for a nuchal translucency, an ultrasound that measures a fluid-filled space on the back of the babies' necks, on Friday. They combine these results with the alpha-fetoprotein test (AFP) to assess the risk for Down syndrome and other health and chromosomal abnormalities.
I was relieved that my (or their) Down risk is very low -- not any higher than a 34 year old with a single fetus. BUT ... as it seems to be with everything ... I will be re-tested in about six weeks.

Nausea? Check. Heartburn? Yep. Crazy mind, can't sleep, crazy dreams? Oh yes.
Sigh. Pregnancy is supposed to be beautiful. And yes, it absolutely is. But I would get to enjoy it a bit more if this mama was a little happier.
How about a cup of tea to the rescue?

He loves the boys he has, and it's hard to spend time with each of them. He felt stretched too thin, and said another would compound that. Understood and agreed, I said. Well, we spent several months talking about it. He never actually said, "Yes, let's have another," but we were unprotected, and both knew what "could" happen! And IT DID!

Sadness & Fear in Early Pregnancy
June 12, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (7)
I need a hug!
I'm 11 weeks into my first pregnancy and I feel really sad today. I know I should be happy and thinking positive thoughts, but maybe it's the hormones raging inside me making me down.

Sea Bands: Morning Sickness Cure?
June 4, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (16)
Twins in my belly almost guarantees me morning sickness, afternoon sickness, and night sickness. Though my friend who had triplets had no nausea whatsoever. Lucky!
I've tried and continue to try everything -- saltines, popcorn, fruit (especially apples), real ginger (in all its forms), and eating five small meals throughout the day instead of three. Still, I lost about five dinners, three breakfasts, and have dry heaved so many times I lost count.
Until I added Sea Bands to the mix.

Food Aversions While Pregnant
May 21, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (18)
Hello first trimester. Hello morning sickness. Hello food aversions. And hello boobs! I am usually a 34B on a good day, so pardon me for relishing in my new melons! But the rest -- bleh. Don't get me wrong though. I am still happy as a clam. Wait, clams? Bleh!
I've got some strange food and drink aversions now that I'm pregnant with twins.
