Yesterday I had three different appointment for the twins. First I had to go to the hospital for my 20 minutes of monitoring. Everyone is great and no
Braxton Hicks. From there I went straight over to my doctors office. Once again everyone is great. I asked her about having a c-section. She said that we would have to wait to see what the ultrasound (my next stop for the day) said before we made any decisions. But if
Madalynne had not flipped that I had two choices. One, we would schedule a c-section. Two, I could deliver Chris, who is head down and presenting first, and wait to see if
Madalynne flips then if she doesn't then I would need to have an emergency c-section. The reason that I would have to have a c-section if she doesn't flip is that since everything will already be stretched out, for delivering Chris that she might come out butt first and her head could get stuck. The only benefit I saw to Maddie not flipping was that then I would have a scheduled delivery. From my doctors office I drove across town to the ultrasound place and got to see the twins. Chris was his usual photogenic self and we got to see his face.
Madalynne on the other hand had her face in toward her brother and down a little so we couldn't see any of her face. We could see that she has hair though. We could also see that she had flipped!!!!! Yea, they are both head down and very, very low. Chris is at the top of my pelvic bone and the top of
Madalynne's head is level with his eyes. I'm now 35 weeks along and could have them any day and all should be great. Oh yea one more thing that most of you want to know,
Madalynne is about 6lbs 2oz and Chris is 5lbs 4oz. This is not completely accurate as most of you that have had children know, but according to the measurements of each this is any estimate. I can't wait for them to come!!! I really want to hold them.
