Dr appt today, babies look great - 1.2kg and 1.4kg (roughly almost 3lbs and over 3lbs!). This means I have more baby in me than I ever have before as P weighed 5lbs 12oz! OMG!
Cervix long and closed, great.
No urine infection for once in my life.
Unfortunately the good news ended there, blood pressure starting to creep up - 130/92 last week at the GP, 130/89 today. My urine last week showed 2+ protein, today had a trace. So I just started a 24 hour urine collection to get a baseline of what my protein levels look like. I also was instructed to buy a blood pressure cuff and test it twice a day. Last pregnancy my bp was first elevated at my 30 week appt, but of course then I hadn't been seen since 26 weeks so who knows what my bp was at 27, 28 weeks.
Luckily my dr seems very on top of things, and said once twins weigh 1.5 kg (which we are so close to!) they usually do very well.
I only gained 1 pound in 2 weeks, clearly from the parasite. My appetite is back in full force so I am sure more is on the horizon. Total I am up 34 lbs which is right on target for what is recommended.
I should include a bump picture just to scare you all but lucky you, they are all still on my phone. Maybe this weekend to celebrate 28 weeks which is such a huge milestone.

Glad your appetite is back! Hope your BP and the proteins get better fast!!! I want to see a bump picture!!
ReplyDeleteI think in general that's a really good appointment! Hope the blood pressure calms down a wee bit. Looking forward to the bump pic! xoxo
