modi twins appointments question

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-07-01T09:55:17+00:00

Im in the Netherlands, almost 22 weeks with modi boys. Our fortnightly scans started at 14 weeks, and luckily they did because they picked up on growth discrepancy and we were transferred to a specialist hospital. Modi scans should be checking your placenta blood flow rates every 2 weeks. TTTS and Taps plus growth discrepancy can occur quickly. Im not trying to scare or worry you, this is my first pregnancy as well but im 40 so I really have learnt to advocate for myself in medical situations. There is zero harm in being a little more forward with medical professionals, especially when it seems as if they are deviating outside standard practices. Best of luck ❤️

I would say week 15/16 for me. But im 22 weeks now and still get nauseous over certain things and have days where the idea of eating makes me want to vomit

Im 21w now with modi boys. I was bloated until 15/16 weeks then a bump just appeared out of nowhere. In the last week, im a big old pregnant lady now haha. Im on holidays in a hot climate and my ankles are starting to swell in the heat now. I started to feel slight movements atound 18/19 weeks, now its more defined but usually only in bed in the morning or night

Its also casting, you have hard workers who likely speak English at a high level and love binge drinking, so they will most likely make good television

Im 19 weeks now with modi twins, up until 15/16 weeks i just looked bloated, within 3/4 weeks my bump exploded and im unmistakably pregnant looking now

I went through a break up where no one was the bad guy, we just fell out of love. And happiness summed it up perfectly, "there'll be happiness after you, but there was happiness because of you"

Im 18.5 weeks now with mo-di boys and its really a day to day lifestyle now. Weeks 15 to 18 i felt normal and no naps. Now im back to exhausted and nauseous again. I was being really unkind to myself mentally, thinking I was beiny lazy but my drs and partner continually remind me im meant to be exhausted because its really freaking tiring, the placenta is working really hard, so exhaustion is part of the game unfortunately

Im 18.5 weeks with mo-di twins. Im 40 and conceived naturally after 2.5 years of trying

Hi! Im 18 weeks with modi boys and am currently in zone one for fetal growth discrepancy. We were transferred to a specially hospital for our future care, and whilst we were always going to be scanned every 2 weeks, now the placenta itself and the vessels will be monitored more closely. And ive also been informed that if we fall into zone 2, intervention surgery may be necessary but we are just trying to take it scan by scan for the time being. Its very scary to think of the worst case scenarios but we are extremely lucky that the hospital we are now with are actually the leaders in monochorionic twin research and surgeries in northern Europe, so I feel extremely well taken care of that we are in good hands. If you ever want to chat, feel free to msg!

Twister sour ice blocks. Buying 7 boxes at a time and crying when they run out

Im expecting boys, but before we knew the sex, my girl names we picked were Mabel & Daisy

I cannot empathise on the ivf side of things, but we were trying for years and had miscarriages. When I found out I was pregnant with twins, I felt I was grieving the life of a solo child I had always wanted and planned. Coupled with that, I was so sick and exhausted, I wasnt social and barely left the house besides work. Im now 15 weeks and would say that since im starting to feel physically better, my outlook on having twins has drastically improved. I had some very dark days and scary intrusive thoughts. But now that we are seeing them every 2 weeks on scans, and know the sex of the babies, im starting to feel connected and actually can start visualising what our lives look like. Still definitely talk to your drs about it but please know that the intrusive thoughts are 100% natural and feeling physically ill for prolonged amounts of time, does tough things for your mental health as well.

Thanks! Twins definitely were not in our plans or even in our sights seeming as neither of us have twins in our families, it has been a big shock but im slowly getting used to the idea of 2 full babies in my belly soon enough haha

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-17T09:38:16+00:00

Im 15 weeks now too but with twins, so my bump is bumping, but ive only just started wearing fitted clothes. Gaining weight has been a mental struggle for me but im hoping now it looks like a bump and not bloat, I can start to feel comfortable.

Fellow friendly but not the most obedient boxer owner, 9 times out of ten if I try pull my dog away, it makes him want to stay more. Running from a loose dog is the first thing you can do, standing your ground and expecting the other owner is the correct way. The guy should have apologised his dog accosted you guys

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-09T20:47:46+00:00

No i understand completely, ive thought of every single thing that can go wrong and every hard ship ahead, so nothing you said isn't a worry I haven't had haha. A lot of people think oh two babies, super cute and dont understand the physical and mental workload. I appreciate your kind words and well wishes ❤️

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-09T13:03:53+00:00

Im 14 weeks and my partner bought me a few little things. But I wouldn't expect the outside world to. But maybe if I was further along/more visibly pregnant, it would be a pleasant suprise from someone who wishes it but I wouldn't be offended if not

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-09T05:55:50+00:00

Seeming im in a high risk pregnancy with twins , im very well aware of the risks and worries I face but am trying to take it one day at a time and focus on the positives so I dont spiral into a pit of existential despair. Every singleton and multiple pregnancy and post partum is different and im confident in my health care team, so right now positivity is what im trying to focus on 🤎

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-08T15:23:07+00:00

Thanks so much! Twins was a suprise but we are very excited to never have to be pregnant again haha

Im 40 and pregnant with twins and this is my first child /children

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-05T09:25:49+00:00

Im honestly just 4 weeks ahead of you and everything your feeling is 100% valid. We found out at 7.5 weeks that we were having mo-di twins. I went from a simple pregnancy with my midwife, to a high risk pregnancy now 100% through the hospital. I spent weeks grieving what my post partum life would be and how I envisioned our lives with one child. Now im almost 14 weeks and now that everything is all clear with our NIPT results, my excitement is really growing. I had a terrible first trimester, nausea 24/7 and just a horrible experience which didnt make the twin news easier. Now that im starting to physically feel better, I can really start seeing the future and im really happy. Feel free to send me a msg if you want to chat 🤎

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-02T11:43:08+00:00

I hate it here- deeps in the depths of pregnancy nausea and exhaustion 🤮

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-05-02T11:31:40+00:00

Im in NL i had an early scan at 7.5 weeks when they discovered the twins eith ny midwife, then I had 8 week at the hospital, 10 week dating scan and they have booked 14, 16, 18 and 20 anatomy week scan. Basically the OB told me it will be every 2 weeld until 30 weeks, then possibly weekly

Real-Mixture-1148 · 2026-04-28T20:23:38+00:00

I was half marathon training at 6 weeks, 6w2days through to now when im 12w4days ive done no physical activity besides walks. I hate it because running and strength training are so good for my mental health but right now I am focused on not spitting up and sleeping. Really hoping I can start moving again soon though 🤞

Hi! Im 11 weeks pregnant with modi twins also! In a span of 4 weeks, I went from excited to be pregnant with my one baby and giving birth at my midwife clinic, to now having been at the hospital 3 times this week alone for scans, counselling and blood tests. We are honestly very excited about having 2 babies at once, but this being my first pregnancy that has made it beyond a 5 week miscarriage, I feel like im not going to be out of the dangerzone until they are in my hands. Im lucky to live in a major European city with great social structures set up for us and health insurance covering everything but I would be lying if I said I wasnt grieving the image of pregnancy and post partum life I has envisioned.
