Ok, weird things going on...
So this evening I'm laying with the boys so they will fall asleep. I'm on my left side and start feeling around on my beautiful belly. I feel low on my left side and feel the baby- back, knees, legs and just feeling as much as I could. Then I felt over on the right side. I actually thought I felt a separate body part! Holy cow! I tried tracing around it and it felt like a back. Whoa. Faith, my friend who is a midwife, felt my belly a few weeks back and said I had just one, but that she didn't know what that was- the same spot I felt on the right. Hmmm. I've really felt that I was over the twin feeling and convinced myself that it was not likely. But after feeling that I'm back to wondering. I thought I heard a different light heartbeat on that right side yesterday, but I shrugged it off as an echo from the left side. (The baby is always laying curled across my belly with feet on the right.) So, what's going on here? Do I have a huge fibroid, maybe? I had a friend who had a big fibroid that was nearly as big as her baby boy. Why is this continuing to be an issue? I might have to find an acupuncturist to check my pulses after all. (supposedly one can traditionally feel twins that way) I'm still gaining plenty of weight and I'm still growing. I'm hungry as can be. I'm really hitting the protein just in case. Geez, this is such a neat mystery! I still hear two placenta sounds. I really don't think it's "maternal blood flow". It sounds like placenta. Gail, my midwife with Roman and Gino had me hear that sound with the fetoscope and explain it. SO that's the scoop. One thing for certain, birth will put the mystery to rest. Not too much longer!!

I remember Grandma talking about something like that. She had delivered one of her babies and there was something else there that was pulsing but it was not the placenta. Does a fibroid pulse?I hope it is nothing weird like that, another baby would be much nicer. Good Luck! you look great!
love, Tina
Hmmm, I wonder. I don't know if a fibroid would pulse. I suppose anything that is tissue could. Gosh, I wish I could call her!
