Congratulations to BDT....twin girls how exciting. And I completely agree with CPie try not to take family's reaction to heart, I'm positive they will have a change of mind when they see those beautiful babies, they are healthy that's the most important thing.

Hey girls - have been lingering in the background - still sick - but think it is easing back now.
Congrats on everyone having bubs - I haven't been on here since the last thread.
Saph - just wanted to let you know one of my friends has had to wear a brace for her last 2 pregnancies - however her last pregnancy she also physio for it too and apparently made a world of difference

Hi Girls
Just a quick one from me... Still waiting to get my c/s date organised, my OB is going to be on holidays when the c/s will need to happen so I am getting booked in with another OB. Only good thing is the other OB is one that I dealt with previously at the FS and he actually did the surgery for my ectopic in Dec 08 and was actually the OB I originally wanted to go with but he was fully booked with deliveries. So appears I have ended up going full circle, just now waiting to hear from the clinic what date can be origanised but it will definately be the week of the 12/10 unless she decides to come earlier seeing as she has now dropped even lower into my pelvis. Will let you all know when the date has been organised.
Take care of all those bundles cooking away.

Hi Bella,
look after yourself and I really hope you don't end up in hospital with your twinnies thread girls too. for a while there, I was imagining all the twin thread girls tucked up in the same cyber ward, hanging out in hospy together. I just wanted to tell you about a friend of mine who gained 30kg with both of her babies from fluid retention (both bubs born years apart and singletons). She was fit and healthy and lifestyle played no part, it's just what your body decides. 15 kg came off the minute the babies were born, the rest through breast feeding and lifestyle. The babies were good sizes but not huge, 8 and 9 pounds. A year on and she is looking gorgeous and healthy. It's only a small window of time in the big picture so don't be too concerned about tipping the scales. I'm at the opposite end and I'm not petite but I'm just not gaining and have to rest every day for Jazzy to grow, so it makes you feel like you're not doing enough or you did something, worked too hard early in the pg, missed some crucial growth thing...you know all that mother guilt
I've reached a whopping 5 kilo weight gain in 7 1/2 months and get the comments now, "oh you're starting to show". It's come as a bit of an anticlimax I must admit to have the comments starting now, it's like, well I bloody well hope so!! Anyway, so big or small, we all get there and our babies can surprise us by coming out small when we're big or big when we're small. I think I'm hiding a 10 pounder between these child-bearing hips of mine
All the best.xoxo

Hi girls
Just thought I'd give a few details about my birth experience - I was induced on Sunday and my induction went well so I feel extremely lucky as I was dreading it. Waters were broken and drip started at 8am - I was having contractions almost immediately. Made it to 6-7cm by 12.30 then to 8-9cm by 2pm when I reluctantly called for the epidural (though with hindsight, the best decision I could have made). I started pushing by 5.30 and because Zach was so big I had an episiotomy and forceps - he was out by 6.30. I cannot begin to describe the feelings of joy when he was born. And I won't even try, as each of you will experience it soon enough!! My 2 invaluable tips for labour for what they are worth (1) the TENS machine was fabulous and certainly without it I would never have got to transition drug free and (2) the book Birth Skills by Juju Sundin- again, without that knowledge and practical advice I would have struggled with labour.
Zach and I are home now. He's feeding and sleeping very well so no complaints here! Thank you girls all for your wishes and for your support throughout my pregnancy journey.
I will continue to follow your progress!
Love to you all
Mels xx
