34 week baby baby belly...

The pictures TOTALLY didn't turn out like I had envisioned but oh well! My 'goal' is to have hubby take some pictures next week... you know... so you can see my head and all! Ha!

.stats.
34 weeks & 2 days
measuring 44cm
45 inches around
doctors scale says I've gained 52lbs.
*mine is still not working*
baby A is still head down
baby B is TRANSVERSE
2cm dilated
90% effaced
-2 station
passed nst with flying colors
baby A & baby B heartrates 140-155
no growth scan this week but babies should be around 6-6 1/2 lbs. based on their growth record

we're still planning on vaginal even though baby B is transverse (sideways)... it's riskier than breech but i'm just trusting in God and letting him take the lead on this one. We'll have an u/s when I get to the hospital in labor and we'll see if baby B is still transverse. My OB said she would try to turn the baby and or "reach in and grab the feet" but if the cord prolapses (comes out before the baby) it's an automatic csection for baby B.

I'm just going to PRAY PRAY PRAY that baby B will flip now or after I deliver baby A and if not that I will be able to deliver feet first without the cord prolapsing.

I still feel great! HUGE... but great! I feel so blessed to have made it this far... only 2 - 4 more weeks! Wahooooo!







**oh and i'm a freak show everywhere I go... I get SO many comments it's insane. I'm mostly at my doctors (all 3 of them) but occasionally the park or out to eat. YES I'M HUGE... YES THERE IS MORE THAN ONE BABY IN THERE!!! *grin*

  4. Girl you are so tiny all around.. you're all belly! 52 lbs for twins is really good! I've heard of people gaining way more than that with 1 baby!!

  6. You are still just belly! It is amazing! I think you look fabulous.
    And 34 weeks! You are amazing!
    I've heard that it is easy for baby #2 to turn into position after baby #1 comes out. Praying!

  10. Once again, beautiful as usual.

    SO excited to find out what these little ones are!

  11. You may be big but IT'S BEAUTIFUL! I looked like that at my 38 week appointment! People thought I was having twins! haha.. but I didn't .. just one. I carry way out.. You look fabulous!

  12. Sooo excited that the babies will be here soon!! I just had this little vision in my mind the other day, of what your family pictures are going to look like in a few years... you'll have four not-so-little men and maybe two girls? I just had this picture in my head, it was so beautiful.

    You still look great! I hope baby B will turn for you during labor! So great to have an OB that will support this kind of delivery and not do an automatic c-section! I was told that if I'm breech there is no way a vaginal delivery would be available to me. :(

  13. You are JUST belly-- It looks painful, but wow, what an exciting time!
    I snuck over from Kathryn's place, I couldn't resist your blog title :-)

  14. You look wonderful Brittany! Your belly has definatly grown since the last pictures though :)

    I am so happy you have made it this far and the babies are healthy. I will be praying that baby b turns.

    I'm also enjoying your birth stories. I can't believe how long your labors are, you are amazing.

  18. My favorite was hearing (from my MIL, no less) at the end...."You just look so swollen!"

    Thank you, thank you so much for saying that to me. I already feel like a big fat cow. Thank you for reinforcing that feeling!

    People can say the rudest things, but I think you really look great--you look the same except for the big basketball you *swallowed*!

    Great, great pics, thanks for sharing--and I LOVED reading your birth stories! It is so fun to reminisce, huh?

  19. What I find amazing is that you're measuring 45". When I was measured for the (Guess the Momma Girth) game at my baby shower (35 or 36 weeks) with Oceana, I was 44". CRAZY! Either I was huge, or you're not as big as you look! I think I was huge.... oh dear. No wonder it took me over a year to lose the weight...

  20. Ha! Susie (above me) cracks me up :)

    I bet your arms are starting to ache to hold those babies! It's SO close! But then, you already knew that ;)

    Whether people look at you like you are a freak show or not - you are one hot mama rockin' a twins pregnancy.

  21. You are NOT a freak show, you are absolutely adorable! I wish I could see you in person and rub your belly - Yes, I am one of those people who just HAS to touch pregnant bellies! :) OH, I am so thrilled for you and can't wait to hear the labor/delivery story of THIS birth! I'll pray that both babies end up in the DOWN position!!

  22. Hey Brittany :)
    It's so great you baby's are growing so big :)
    Often as you probably know, twins are born smaller then that 6 lbs mark.
    My brother and I were (twins), where born at 6'11 & 6'9. And my mom was 2 weeks overdue :)
    Praying baby B flips for you!

  23. I've only commented once or twice before; I found you through the blog vine, from Fina'Drea, I think.

    But anyway, you look great. I agree with what one of the earlier commenters said, plenty of people gain that much or more with only a singleton. Plus you are ALL belly.

    I love the birth stories you have been posting...your boys are beautiful or should I say handsome *giggle*

  33. I was in the hospital from 24 weeks on, so I never had even ONE stranger ask me if I was pregnant. It was actually kind of sad.....:)

    ReplyDelete
  34. 2-4 weeks!? Wow. Your little arms are so tiny...you are really all baby, I mean, babies!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I smile every time I see your growing belly. It's amazing!

    52 pounds?! Is that all? Sheesh, I gain practically that much when I'm only carrying ONE baby :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. After reading your first three boys' birth stories, I was think how amazing it is that with twins you've gone this far! I can't wait to see those babies.

    Your dress is so cute, and you look adorable.

  37. You look GREAT..... BUT

    I can't look
    I can't look

    I have been seriously out and about the last day and a half, one outing to a local school fair where I bumped into a number of people we know but that aren't really frinds so I haven't seen them in a while...I hada million belly rubs, people screeching "oh my it's true then", 'you are massive', and one " are you insane?"!!!!!

    I'm going to need lessons in dealing with the general public when I get to your size I think ;)
