This is the longest I’ve gone without a doctor’s appointment in probably a year. Instead of putting me at ease, it actually makes me more nervous. The last time I went to the OB was February 19th. My next appointment is finally this coming Wednesday.

I know this is normal frequency, but after coming from fertility treatments it feels weird not to get checked every week or two. Even when I found out I was pregnant, I had two ultrasounds with the fertility doctor before getting released to my OB.Then with my OB I’ve had two more. I basically got to see the babies every two weeks from when an ultrasound was first possible. Not having seen them for over three weeks now makes me anxious.

I guess that the bright side of having a high risk pregnancy (not only is it twins, but I’m of advanced maternal age) is that I get to see a perinatologist as well, meaning that I’ll have much more frequent ultrasounds than a regular pregnancy. I knew it was good to get pregnant in my late 30’s for a reason!

My belly bump continues to grow which is a good sign that all is progressing. The morning sickness is more or less gone…just some mild nausea in the evening. I’m feeling better in this second trimester. I feel like I have to get as much done in the next couple of months before the 3rd trimester comes around.

Everything is starting to feel more real.
