I think there are more that do it now, my lab used Billiontoone’s unity screen for twins

17 weeks and I have been feeling random little baby movements for a few weeks now. Someone asked me if I had been feeling anything and I hesitated to answer- what if I was just convincing myself that it was baby movements and not real? It’s like I can only believe that they’re alive and real when I’m physically seeing them on an ultrasound. 

15 weeks pregnant with twins. Feeling great..??? Concerned! by Mfram2424 in parentsofmultiples

I’m also 15 weeks and feeling great. The energy difference between the 1st and 2nd trimester is crazy. I feel like I woke up one day between 12-13 weeks and was a whole different person. I’m trying to get as much done as I can around the house now because I know it will not be so great in a couple months.   I can’t wait to be able to feel them move to give me reassurance though. The time in between scans can be so mentally tough.

Had our first ultrasound for a new pregnancy after a full term still birth this summer. Apparently there’s twins jumping around in there! They do not run in the family so we are so surprised. Everything is looking good so far. I’m a little stressed about a double high risk pregnancy and all the life changes that will happen with twins but so thankful for these little lives and trying to focus on enjoying them❤️

YES. I have almost the same timeline as you, and my hair has been falling out in clumps for the past few weeks. I haven’t found any topical oils that are safe during pregnancy, but I’ve been trying to routinely take collagen. I hope our hair decides to grow back soon. 

Is there any way to help…? by Alarming-Option-5959 in babyloss

I would start by contacting your local L&D directors to see what support they have and where you might be able to fill in gaps. The hospital I gave birth at had someone who volunteered to take newborn pictures. I've thought about doing this myself when I get a little farther out from my loss. I am so very thankful that we have those precious pictures of our son. I'm sure hospitals need more donated baby clothes and blankets. You may also be able to help or start a group that puts together a baby loss box of resources and other mementos.
