Twins: “Why Not Get Two Out At One Whack?”
I was only six weeks pregnant and I knew something was unusual. I had my first child two years prior to this and even though I wrote down every minute detail, my mind was certain. This one was definitely different. Like so many women in modern society, infertility was the mysterious white elephant in the room when it came to the question of motherhood. I took Clomid (a common infertility drug) and I was off and running. Blood test after blood test, I learned that the HcG (pregnancy hormone) levels were doubling by the day and was well over the levels of my first pregnancy. I became suspicious. My husband became excited. He so wanted twins. As he claimed “why not get two out at one whack?” Then there they were. My sonogram showed what I had suspected. Two jumping grains of rice. I wanted to name one Uncle Ben and the other Long Grain.
At each check point in my pregnancy I became riddled with anxiety until it was confirmed in some medical manner that I was still pregnant with twins. Fear of a miscarriage, one baby squishing the other or the lining of my uterus “absorbing” the baby as the baby books called it. Every rational, probable, irrational and highly unlikely outcome of my pregnancy plagued me the night before every pending check point.
Then 8 months into my pregnancy I hit the wall. My body was done. Stick a fork in my behind, because this turkey was ready to carve. I wanted to scream into my vagina, okay, guys you can get out now. Well, if I could even see that part of me at that point. I would have been happy just to see my swollen, sausage toes while standing. At this check point the doctor said that even though I had been experiencing contractions, my body had no other signs of labor. What was I to do now? The babies didn’t want to leave and my body had called it quits.
I couldn’t stand for too long. I couldn’t sit for too long. Laying down was murder on my back. Sleep was non existent and I couldn’t remember the last time I ate without my esophagus burning like I was the latest fire eating attraction at a circus. When I saw the sonogram at week 32, I gasped in horror. One baby was standing on the other one’s face and smooshing it into my cervix! There was absolutely no room left. I’m pretty sure my organs packed their bags and headed for the nearest exit. I was miserable. My reflection in the mirror was screaming at me to shed all the weight, water, acne, dark

Will You Get A False Negative If Your Hcg Is Too High?
- Image via Wikipedia
I read on a forum that pregnancy tests only measure within a certain window of the hcg level. SO if it’s too low, or too high, it won’t give a positive. Does anyone know about this?
I’m 22 days late, and I’ve had three negative htp’s. Is there any way I could still be pregnant?

As a mother, looking back on my pregnancy and all that came with it, a part of me misses it. For ten wonderful months I was physically, mentally, and emotionally attached to another human being. I had a life growing inside me and I could not wait for that fateful day when I would look in my child’s eyes for the first time. There is so much planning, hoping and waiting. With the gift of life comes the gift of love and wonder every new child brings into this world. Here are some tips on what to expect when pregnant:
Pregnancy Signs:
Whether you’re planning your pregnancy, or you have an unplanned miracle, there are certain signs to look for:
o Tender breasts
o A feeling of fatigue
o Spotting may occur
o Morning sickness is very common
o An increased sensitivity to certain odors
o Frequent urination
o A missed period
Pregnancy Magazines:
“Pregnancy” offers advice from conception to labor and is great for first time moms.
“Fit Pregnancy” offers advice for women who want to keep fit throughout their pregnancy and handles some postpartum fitness issues.
“American Baby” offers advice on everything from health issues for expecting mothers to infant and childcare.
Get Pregnant:
Much can be done to assist in getting pregnant. Prenatal vitamins can be taken before the onset of pregnancy, to ensure your body has the vital minerals necessary to feed a growing baby. Ovulation tests can tell you when, during the month, the egg is most likely to be fertilized.
Diabetic Pregnancy:
Gestational diabetes occurs in 2 to 7 percent of pregnant women. It usually passes after labor, although women who had it are more likely to develop it in future pregnancies. To see if you are at risk for gestational diabetes, ask your doctor for a glucose screening during your pregnancy.
Pregnancy Information:
Your doctor is the best place to get information on pregnancy, its symptoms, nutrition and diet, tests, labor and delivery. The internet has a lot of information, but check with your doctor before changing your routine. Planned Parenthood has many services available, including clinics and support during and after pregnancy.
Pregnancy Calendars:
Pregnancy calendars offer a ‘week by week’ (and some a ‘day by day’) account of what you and your baby will experience. They offer advice on time specific issues, such as tips for morning sickness during the first trimester, to details on what is needed for a safe and healthy delivery.
Twins:
In the case of twins, the medical care for you and your developing babies can be very different than with a care for a woman carrying one child. According to various risk factors, the term of the pregnancy may be shortened, and many who have twins have a Cesarean section.
Names:
While some parents decide to go with traditional names, more and more parents are deciding on less common names, some with varied spelling. Many baby name books give the origins of the name, with commentary on its commonality, while others present a list of names, according to some common factor.
Pregnancy Test:
Many technological advances have made home pregnancy tests more accurate. They can be purchased at your local drugstore, or you may just go to your doctor to be absolutely positive. The tests look for a hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is found in the urine of a pregnant female.
Pregnant:
Many changes occur when a woman is pregnant. Her body is supporting another life and at times she may feel drained. Eating healthy foods, staying away from tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and getting the appropriate medical care can have lifelong effects on the health and general well-being of your child.

Is It Possible To Be Pregnant But Hcg Is Low?
It’s my 4th day after a missed period. Went to the obgyn and had a blood test (HCG.). Ultrasound showed thickening of uterus so I might be pregnant but HCG is low.I have to take another test the day after tomorrow to see if it rises or not. Is it possible that HCG level is low during first 2 weeks of pregnancy?
When Does Your Hcg Levels Start Rising?
I tested positive 3 times with an hpt. That was 5 days before my cycle was to start. I want to know since the hcg was present, why are’nt I having any pregnancy symptoms yet?
And does implantation have to happen before your hcg goes up?
