24 semanas e 1 dia...

Primeiro deixo aqui o relato da evolução dos nossos príncipes...


24 weeks pregnant

Your baby is still on the skinny side with no body fat but his brain is growing rapidly and he's starting to fill the space in your uterus. By now, you probably have a definite "pregnant" shape and the linea nigra, a dark line of pigmentation, may appear down the centre of your abdomen. Your baby's taste buds are also forming and, believe it or not, his sweet tooth. Could that explain your sudden craving for doughnuts? No one knows for sure but it's a good excuse, next time you find yourself visiting the bakery.


Your fetus weighs more than 1.3 pounds/ 600 grams. Though she still has little body fat and her skin is thin and fragile, she's now well-proportioned. Her brain is growing rapidly, and she is starting to fill the space in your uterus. From crown to heel she could measure 11.8 inches / 30 centimetres. If you went into labour at this time, however, many obstetricians and midwives would make every effort to halt the progress of premature labour to enable your baby to continue maturing. You may be noticing faint, red or brown streaks known as striae or stretch marks on your abdomen, hips and breasts. While creams won't erase them, wearing a supportive bra may help prevent or minimise them on your breasts. They are very common at this stage of the pregnancy -- about 90 per cent of women get them. After you've given birth, the reddish or brown pigmentation in the stretch marks gradually fades, and the streaks become lighter than the surrounding skin.
E quanto ao resto... bem, este é o meu primeiro dia em casa... nesta altura é importante o descanso para assegurar o crescimento dos bebés e para evitar um parto prematuro...
Tudo correndo bem, os bebés deverão estar a crescer até à semana 36... para isso resta descansar...
O quarto das crianças está montado, muito graças ao pai que se fartou de trabalhar ... sim porque eu pouco ou nada posso fazer... A roupinha está pronta para ser lavada e arrumada na mala... aos poucos tudo se vai arrumando...
Resta agora descansar para ver os meninos a crescer... ups... mais um miminho... são tão agitados... isto promete...
