I was back to the doctor's office today for my weekly checkup. My doctor let me off the hook with the pelvic exam today, given the fact that I have not felt any contractions as of yet or had any other complications or concerns as of late.
Other Measurements:
My Belly Measurement = 34.5 centimeters (this is down a half a centimeter, not sure how that happened)
My Pregnancy Weight Gain = 35.5 pounds
Other than that, my doctor ran through a few precautionary instructions with me. One of which was I need to inform him and go to the hospital sooner than usual at this point if I were to start real contractions(once they are coming every 15 minutes). This is because at this point, we would still want to attempt to stop labor if possible, which is apparently more difficult with twins.
I then was on to the hospital for my NST. Things went well. Our son was putting on quite a show with lots of activity and passed with flying colors. Our daughter was doing equally well, but 10 minutes into the testing came down with a case of the hiccups. This threw off the monitor, as it was confusing the hiccups with a heartbeat. We stayed on the monitor for a bit longer for this reason, but all ended up well. My nurse, Becky, shared that she is also a mother of twins, so it was nice to learn a bit about her experiences.
