    hi ladies

    frostysmum - im so sorry for you, I couldnt imagine going through that, you are very strong.

    Murph - about the hiccups, it feels like a jump in the belly every 2 or 3 seconds and lasts about 5 to 10 mins, further down the track it feels deep down in the pelvis, sometimes it feels like my vagina is jumping! you will know trust me!

    Jen - I cant believe you may give birth before me! i admire you! and all women carrying twins, god there is no way I could have coped!

    Smithy - just a shout out to you! you look great and i hope the MS is getting better! i still have mine but am in control of it most days.

    Also someone mentioned about sleeping on their left side, trust me, its the way to go, when i lie on my right i feel short of breath and have heart palpitations and my doc told me its the flow of the blood that gets restricted, it feels awful so i can only sleep on the left, and i miss tummy sleeping!

    AFM- I cant believe i only have 3 and a half weeks! less according to the ultrasound dates! have my appointment tomorrow to check my bloods one more time and see if i need to be induced RE liver function and BP, but I think all will be fine! i have too much to do before bubs is due anyway so I am against induction! ive been getting little period type cramps on and off for the past 2 days and DF and I TRIED to DTD the other night but it was impossible! I felt like I couldnt breathe no matter which way plus my girly bits were BURNING! like extreme burning inside and I dont know why, its been like this the whole pregnancy! sorry TMI? but im over it! i want to feel close to my DF. hope everyone isnt in too much discomfort! if not you will be!!!

    MHB - I'm hoping to keep the little boys in here for longer than that!
    Saw my ob today, and learned that I am now in here until the boys are delivered. argh! I suppose I knew it was a possibility, I just didn't expect it.
    oh well. it's for the very best. I need daily monitoring, plus i am on nifedipine every 4 hours. apparently if I go 2 days with no contractions I could be given a 'leave pass' to go home or out for a few hours.
    well, the waiting begins!!! imagine if I held out until 01 Oct when c-section is booked - that's a loooong time in here.
    very nice hospy though - lovely midwives. so it's not too bad.
    miss my DH at night though

    Oh jen I can only imagine what it must be like stuck in hossie looking at the same four walls it would drive me insane. But take some advice from a mum already rest up because when they are here there will be no rest for the wicked.

    MHB So hear you about being uncomfortable but how can it be already I am only 13 weeks.

    AFM went to OB today. All is looking ok at the moment. About resricted growth issue, I will be having an extra scan at 34 weeks to assess growth and the plan is for induction at 37/38 weeks. She is not worried about a small baby she is actually more worried about a baby that is to big and having the tramtic birth that we had with Campbell. She said that when the baby is to big its shoulders get stuck and that then causes breathing problems. Campbell did not breath and ended up in the intensive care unit for 3 days because he got so stuck. He was the biggest baby in there and got a twin bed all to himself. LOL

    Being kicked off the computer so hope everyone is doing well and will check in later.

    Jen I know it is not much help - but at least you can feel some confidence at being monitored and have answers to questions at hand. Definately suggest getting some good books!


    Sorry no personals - there are so many people on here, if I don't look every day it is very hard to catch up -

    AFM - all well here so far, just tired still and sick as a dog - I am really hoping the MS goes in a few weeks. It is so speradic - can wake up fine some mornings, but go terribly downhill by mid morning, or can wake up feeling like crap and that continues - but find the worse time is from about 4.30 onwards till bed - I may as well set up camp in our bathroom!

    It is just hard to function at work when all I want to do is crawl up on my office floor. But have to continue to be perky as know one knows - very hard.

    Hope all is well with everyone.
