questions for dr @9 week appt?

Question

We are headed to our 9 week appointment tomorrow, after finding out about our didi twins 2 weeks ago. I'm still a bit in shock by this (amazing and wonderful and also nerve wracking) news, and I know nothing about what to expect with a twin pregnancy. I am putting together some questions to ask so I leave with as much knowledge as I can, and figured that this community would be a great resource to tap for some ideas, since I know so little.

So, what would you ask your doctor? What are my concerns right now?

Thanks!

Answer

Yes, options for delivery (every doctor is a little different on this). When they will take you off work (mine wouldn't let me work past 34 weeks, but would take me out sooner if I wanted).

Check in about any symptoms you are having. Morning sickness, soreness, etc.

Ask if your delivery hospital has any support groups or education classes specifically geared toward Multiples. Mine did, but I didn't find out about them until 34 weeks and wished I knew sooner.

Multiple gestation pregnancies are high risk for pretty much everything. So if you have any questions related to potential complications maybe have those prepared also.  I just waited until I had to cross that path to ask questions.

Answer

Ask about delivery, when? How? Make sure your dr will listen to what you want.
