We're 32.5 weeks (every day counts!) and had an ultrasound today.
Baby A weighs 4 lbs 3 oz
Baby B weighs 4 lbs 4 oz
The tech said they can be off +/- 10%, but both are weighing at the 50%. They are just average Joe's (nope, that is not one of our names). They used to be weighing much bigger and I, for one, am happy that they've slowed down just a bit. The Doran women in my life will understand. We make big babies. I don't want two 9 lbs babies.
The most important thing is that they are weighing similarly. It is not a good sign when one baby is much bigger than the other.
We also found out that Baby A is still head down and Baby B is still in a breech position (by the way, Baby A refers to the baby who is first in the birth canal and Baby B is the second in the birth canal; they don't switch during the pregnancy). Most twins pick their position by 32 weeks, so this is likely how they will stay. And I am, therefore, likely to have a c-section. My doc and her practice do not attempt vaginal births unless both babies are head down. You can hope that Baby B would flip head down after Baby A comes out, but it is a bit risky to Baby B. Also, if he decided not to flip after his bro made his way out, then I would have a C-section on Baby B after vaginally birthing Baby A. YUCK. NO.
We have weekly ultrasounds now, so I'll keep everyone more updated.
