Changing Drs and scan updates

Last week I went for my 24w scan, it was my second visit with our new gynea (I had to change gyneas as our medical aid was just giving us so many problems with using our first gynea.

At our first visit she scanned the babies but didn't take any measurements, the only remark was that they where proper babies...lol
It bothered me the whole time as I want to know everything about my babies so I planned to ask her at our next visit.

At the 24w scan I asked her to please measure the boys as I wanted to know how big they where.
So she took twin 1's measurements and said that they were doing well and that their weight was well over 500g, I then asked her to check my cervix, which she did externally and said it was fine.
As we left her office I noticed that in my file it said they found traces of glucose and protein in my urine. I was surprised that she didn't even mention this to me...
So over the next couple of days I did some research and it seemed my boys where tiny for their gestational age and it really bothered me that she just took one twins measurements.

After a lot of thinking I convinced my DH to go for another scan at our first gynea.

So yesterday we went for our 25w3d scan.
It was lovely seeing Dr R again , I explained all my concerns to her and she took her time taking the boys measurements.
It was such a relief to see that twin 1 was measuring ahead at 26 weeks. And he weighs 830g twin 2 is also measuring ahead and he weighs 900g.

She did mention that different ultra sound machines might get different readings, but a discrepancy of 300g was just too much.

She also did an internal scan to check my cervix, which is still holding well.

They checked my urine again, which showed no protein or glucose, really happy about that.

She explained to us that using DE puts you at a higher risk of developing per-eclampsia, so we will be monitoring me very closely, and she said that she wants me to go for blood tests to do per-screening for pre-eclampsia so we can try and manage it early on if I do develop the condition, which I hope and pray that I don't.

I am also going for a glucose test next week to test for gestational diabetes.

And she said that I would get a steroid shot at 28w to mature their lungs, just to be on the save side.
So all in all I feel a lot better and we have decided that we are going to stay with Dr R, even if we have to battle our medical aid all the way. It really does make me so happy knowing that she is really proactive and that I will see her every two weeks from here on.

Other than that boys are doing well, they are really getting very busy. We saw twin 2 drinking amniotic fluid and twin 1 giving his brother a little punch.
Twin 1 is still head down and twin 2 is still breech.

So all good and I am loving my tummy and these precious little boys and my DH for knowing me so well and for doing what is best for us....
