Yes, toothpaste is terrible! My dentist said skip it until the m/s is over. He said adults use it more for the "clean taste" than anything and that the flouride isn't that necessary at our age. If you desire that "clean feeling" he said use a little mouthwash. Also, he told me to rinse my mouth with ice water before I start brushing my teeth to sort of numb the back part of my mouth. I guess it helps to prevent gagging.

Evyn, I have had a terrible metallic taste in my mouth for a few weeks now. Nothing helps me, except drinkng a little lemonade or adding a little lemon to my ice water.

Hmm, I don't remember a metallic taste specifically, but I might have had one.

I was okay for the most part with brushing my teeth. I went through about a week where it was a little rough, but as long as I didn't go too in depth with the brushing I was fine. Strangely, I could brush my tongue without a problem. You'd think that'd cause a gag.

Yeah!! So I passed my 3 hour glucose test! Yeah!!

Sheepie...Congrats on passing the 3hr!! And thanks for the new thread!

Hi Girls...Just checking in. I'm crazy busy training 3 different people so I will be more active here in a couple weeks!

Just marking my spot.


Ultrasound went great today. Baby A is 2 lbs 2oz and Baby B is 2 lbs 1 oz. So both good sizes and similar in size (which is most important). They looked really cramped in there. I felt a little bad for them, but they are both still head down. After I left I wondered if they are going to be staying like that now that they are as big as they are. I'll have to ask my doctor next apt. I am still leaning towards having a vaginally delivery if I can. This is going to be my one and only pregnancy and I really want to have the experience. My doctor said she totally understands, but she doesn't want me to get my hopes set on it b/c things happen. I had a friends daughter just have twin boys and she did it vaginally, however the woman is huge... not a woman starting out at 110 lbs.

Glad to hear your babies are doing so well! You want to push 'em out huh. Well I admire you, I wish I had that drive of wanting childbirth...there is not a bone in my body that wants to push a child out through my vagina. BUT, I hope that things stay as they are (heads down), so you can get exactly what you want.

My babies have barely been moving at all today...why must I freak out everytime that happens? I laugh at myself...

Sheepie- Congrats on passing the 3 hour glucose test!!! I know several women that had to do the 3hr. and passed it. One of my friends said it helps if you don't eat sweets for a week before your appt, not sure if that is true.
You don't look like you pig out on too many sweets

Refrain- I have heard that if your baby(s) aren't moving then you can eat a little chocolate or drink some caffeine and they'll start moving. Maybe try that to ease your mind. Although I'm sure everything is fine.

Auturn- I'm glad your u/s went well. Will you have to be induce to deliver vaginally or just whenever it happens?

bobbysgirl- I hope you feel better soon!

[flo0ow]

ATURN... yay on the good appt...

GAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! im starting to really hate being pg!!! no more physical therapy (after mondays episode the chiro said no more until after baby is here)!!! and now no induction until i am atleast 4cm dialated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uggggggggggggggggh!!! i just feel like crap... the ob said he could induce me for tomorrow... but thats not the problem... since im not dialated at all he doesnt want to put me through hell only to have a c/s anyways... ugggggggh... i wanna cry...

[aturnbg]

Refrain - I totally know what you mean. I hate it when the babies don't move alot during a day. It totally freaks me out. I went to the doctors during my 24 week b/c of it just to hear their heartbeats. I felt like a freak, but felt better. The nurse told me next time I feel freaked, drink OJ and wait for the movement.... I haven't tried it though. I do want to push them out! LOL. I know it sounds crazy, but I do. I am going to be disappointed if I can't, but I'm not getting my hopes up b/c I know it's a 50-50 shot.

Wantsababy - I am really not sure how it will go down. I guess as long as everything is ok w/ me and the babies they will just let me go until I pop.

Flow - Oh, flow just hang in there girl. You are doing so good, just try to visuallize that cervix opening up and maybe it will move faster. Or... dare I say..... have some sex w/ your DB to get that labor moving.

[bobbysgirl2005]

Congratulations on passing your 3 hour GTT, Sheepie!

Flow: Hang in there! Like Aturnbg said, maybe sex will help or perhaps taking a lot of long walks. My cousin's wife threatened jumping on a trampoline with her last baby (ha, ha).

Autrnbg: I hope you can deliver your babies the way you want. You are braver than I. The other day, after watching "A Baby Story", I told DH that I didnt' know how they were going to get our baby out, because I didn't like either option! He told me that it was a little late to think about that now. (LOL).

Thanks for the new thread!!

My mom had my brother and I both cia c-section...but...Im a good 4-5 inches taller than my mom. She was pretty petite at the time, and they may have done it because of that, Im not sure. Im not worried about a vaginal birth except for the tearing, EEEEEKKK!

[flo0ow]

aturn... ugggh... lol.. we have been dtd every night!!! i thought it would help some... but now that i know it didnt... u can forget about it... well lol db knows he can forget about it...

wow... i was watching birth day live or deliver me last night (im not sure which one i was half asleep and they were both recorded) but the woman had twins vaginally with no complications at delivery... i was amazed... both twins were head down... no epi no nothing!!! or maybe she did... i seriously dont remember... but i was in shock... ive seen one being delivered vaginal but not both... ehhh... but she made it look so easy too... her babies were very small like 3 pounds each... so maybe thats why... and she had 2 previous LARGE children... ehh...

i was having dreams that after the baby was here i called the RE and told him i wanted to try for multiples... haa... and then i woke up to go peee... what a coincidence...

so i know walking is supposed to help!!! but i dont wanna walk now!!! i was going everywhere and walking everywhere a couple weeks ago and now... heh... forget it... my fat prego behind doesnt want to waddle anywhere... ive become so lazy now...

ok sorry its early for me... i didnt get to bed until 6-7am and db just woke me... so im kinda out of it...
