When I was 22 weeks the heartburn was so bad I thought I was going to die. Try Nexium. That was a life saver!! I also saw the perinatologists at Swedish and they were excellent! Best of luck!

It is hard. Remember, my twin B was smaller. We even had the difference by over 20%. He is doing great now. You will have more u/s, more appointments and possible some bed rest. Keep you head up! He was my stronger one. Sommer,

That might easier than forcing smoothies down your throat. Sorry about the blender - that's awful. I hate it when gadgets break. If DH isn't home, I end up banging on it and cursing...

So sorry you're having to go through all of this right now! If it's of any comfort, Gavin had a white spot on his heart when I had my level II u/s, after our AFP came back with him having a 1:1200 chance of having Down's. With the marker, the chances went down to 1:800. Being that is a 25% increase, dh and I elected to have the amnio done, even though I was deathly afraid of the outcome. We did it because the doctor told us that out of the patients he sees with that marker, 1% are born with Down's, and he is a high-risk OB. I found out later that the marker is quite common, and thankfully, the amnio came back clear, and of course, Gavin is fine. I heard from SO MANY people that had the same thing, and they all had children that are just fine. I hope this at least gives you ONE less thing to worry about! :hugs: Stacy Hi Sommer!

Do you have access to nutritional counselling from a dietitian? Just thinking that they can offer you the best bang for your buck eating so to speak to get you the most nutrients for smaller amounts of food if you can't stomach things. Shawn Hey Sommer.

If you are finding that eating so much is causing you to feel too full then try eating the highest calorie food first. Like for breakfast - try the high calorie ensure before the cereal. Apples and peanut butter is a great snack too but if you don't finish the apple that is ok, apples don't have a lot of calories in them either. Try and eat more PB instead. Full fat cheese, sour cream, yogurts would also be good options. Things are going to be good! I just wish you didn't have all this stress :hug: :hug: :hug: You are doing everything that you possibly can Sommer, and you are doing great!
