TL & Janie: It is so close now, I'm sure you can't wait to meet your little miracles.
AFM: Well this m/s stuff is really getting me down. No vomiting still but suffering from everything else... Severe nausea, dizzyness and fainting, constipation and indigestion at 2am in the morning. Went to my GP today to see if there was anything that I can take to get me through my days at work. My Dr prescribed me 4 weeks off work with lots of rest and taking care of myself. Contacted work (where I have only been for 4 weeks) and they were great and instead of taking 4 weeks off work, I'm taking this week off to try and get some rest and then from next week they are going to let me reduce my hours from 12pm - 8.15pm to 4pm - 8.15pm as I feel worst between 10am and 4pm each day. They are also going to allow me to have rest breaks whenever I need them as well. Hopefully this works out to be a good option for me as even though I will only get paid part time hours, it is better than not getting paid at all.
So plenty of sleep for me this week and hopefully our little bubble starts to play nicely very soon..
I had a total of 4 weeks during my first trimester (both sick leave and annual leave). I don't know how I could have gone on at work if I didn't have this.
Mels, isn't it fantastic to feel the baby. I started to feel the baby (maybe the placenta) as early as 14 weeks but it is only in the last month I have been feeling the baby without having to be on my back or pressing my hand on my tummy. I feel her when I wake up and often in the afternoon when I am at my desk at work. My little girl becomes highly agitated when she hears loud music. Even having experienced the kicks for quite sometime now I still smile everytime they occur.
On a different note, I am having trouble finding out what has happened to HM because I can't locate her blog. Could someone fill me in? Thanks.
Sorry for the few and far between posts. Trying to stay as horizontal as possible with my legs raised and some days trying to type just annoys me in that position! Am still in hospital. All is going well here. Started steroids yesterday and am feeling good about that. Little ones still think they are circus performers, so am often laughing at my tummy. Babies are above average weight which is fantastic seeing as thought they will be premmie. OB is still trying to get me to 36 weeks, so that is just over 11 weeks ago now. Not sure if my body will behave, but 36 weeks would be fantastic.
Nic- Can you add me to the list of due dates...officially due 2nd July with 1 boy, 1 girl. BTW..you are doing a great job with the list. Maybe you could make a trip to the Gold Coast to help with all my lists!!
Thanks for your support as always. Means the world to me.
Sorry for no personals..breakfast is coming. Got to love hospital routines!!
Sorry Bel - I must have made a typo and Bel became Bee. Fixed now though. Glad things are going well, it must be a bit of a nightmare having to be in hospital all that time, but obviously anyone of us would do it in a heartbeat for our babies. I hope the time passes quickly for you and before you know it you are at or past 36 weeks.
Thanks Nic..I thought when I saw Bee..what a coincidence is that? Someone else due on the same day with twins and the same sex!! My pg mind didn't think it could have been me!!! Not too bad here in hospital. I feel really reassured and safe here and have someone 24 hours to annoy and ask questions!!! And I get to hear these two 3 times a day!!
Hugs xxx
Good morning everyone,
it was great to read all the updates. Thanks Nixon for adding me to your list, I got a bit of a thrill. I don't know if it's one or two but most likely one. i havent had morning sickness and my hcg tests haven't been overly high apparently. I'm not wishing for twins, but it is still a surprise to find out.
I haven't been feeling great since the "special cuddle" incident (as Greenslw described it!), still a bit on edge and will ask for another blood test at the docs tomorrow. I'm only going for accupuncture but it's at a clinic so will ask to see if my levels are rising. How often do you get it done in these early stages?
KellyD, I'm following closely in your footsteps but hoping that I don't get your symptoms. It's 6 weeks and 1 day today and the dreaded symptoms I've been warned about should start soon if they are going to. Lastnight had a very strange night with fluttering tummy for hours so not sure if I'm working myself up with anxiety or starting symptoms. BBs have a mind (and post code) of their own!
JenC, I hope your OB appointment went well.
Bel, you poor bugger,so much hospital food! I hope everything is going well for you in there and you get safely past that 36 week mark.
So many to mention, but will send you all lots of luck and wishes and talk soon.
