Dr. Update - Finally

**Slightly Edited**

So I haven't been able to go to the doctor for the past two months. My last visit I found out that I was having twins and haven't been back since. There was a mess with getting insurance and finding a doc who would accept me so far along...then throw twins in there and it got even worse. (Thank you, thank you to those who prayed for me during that incredibly frustrating time!) Anyways, now I have a great doc w/ great nurses at a really nice facility and everything is good! Today was my first visit there so it was a pretty long one. Well, the update includes the following:

• Currently 30 weeks & 4 days.
• Heard two strong heartbeats.
  
• Measuring at 36 cm fundal height (for a single baby it would be about 30-31....should be about 4 more than that for twins....)
• Dilated to 3 cm but cervix is still thick and high.
• I've gained about 15 lbs from my prepregnancy weight, and 23 lbs when you consider that I dropped about 8 lbs in my first trimester from being so sick. (Average weight gain for twins is 35-45 lbs.)
  
• Setting up an appt with a specialist to have an ultrasound next week to do some further checking on things such as growth of babies, amniotic fluid, etc.
• Got steroid shots to aid in babies lung development since they'll most likely be coming early.
  
• Babies probably weigh about 3 1/2 lbs each.
• Need to be taking it way easy to keep from being hospitalized for the remainder of the pregancy.
• 36 weeks is full term for twins. That means I only have about 5 weeks left....assuming they make it that long!
