16 Weeks

Today I'm 16 weeks pregnant and half way through (if triplets are born at the average of 32 weeks). That's a bit weird isn't it? Don't think I'm even really showing much yet.

Had another scan today. Doc wanted to check the amniotic fluid, which is looking fine - so if there's a leak its hopefully healed. He did say to rest as much as possible. Oh dear I'm going to have to laze around a bit. Shame!

He also checked for Twin to Twin transfusion syndrome (which is a concern for the identical twins). One twin was showing a little smaller than the other last time. He didn't measure today as it was only a week since the last scan but other signs look good. Signs to worry about is no amniotic fluid in one sac and that baby having nothing in their bladder. Both babies were looking fine (with working bladders) today and good blood flow to both. It doesn't mean it won't develop but it doesn't look like its happening now. The later it develops (if it does) the better. Apparently if it doesn't happen by 24 weeks its very unlikely.

So at the moment, this brief moment, we don't have anything major to worry about. Just in time for Christmas. Hurrah!
