17 Week Visit - No Gym for you!

Sorry there is only one picture to post this time but I only got a good picture of Twin A Sucking her thumb (I will scan in shortly). Twin B was breach and not playing well with the camera. Dr. Kirshon did some of the anatomy scan this time where he measured both of their long bones and checked their tummies and other pieces and parts. He confirmed that the two girls from last time stayed girls (we had to double check). He also said that both girls were measuring almost 7 inches (this is total length were in the pregnancy books they normally give head to rump) and they weigh about 7 oz each. There is still no sign of twin-to-twin-transfusion so really good stuff. Only problem is that my placenta is pretty low but he is hoping that is will shift up as I move along in pregnancy.

I was very proud of myself because the scale was finally moving in the positive direction so I was hoping I could start working out again soon, but Dr. Kirshon right before we were about to leave said "you aren't working out are you" I said no because I was working on gaining weight and waiting for that to happen before I started back working out. He said that he does not want me to workout at all for fear of preterm labor with the low placenta and all...DARN IT!!! Oh well it is just for 4-5 more months. I just paid my annual gym membership dues too.

I see Dr. Dryden next week and back to Dr. Kirshon the following week. (Weekly doctor visits is very time consuming)
