Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - June 2008

[numa]

Hope things are better this week BW - it sounds like a really rough time. Hoping bubs is all good and happy and your pesky students start behaving better.

Scooby and Devon my belly buddies - you must be counting down to the next scan? Mine is on the 5th September.

Everyone else - hope you all had a great weekend and your bellies are growing well!

P.S. Devon I lay on the couch instead of baking the cake, was just too tired!

HI everyone

Well I don't know whether to laugh or cry with happiness. I had my 7wk scan yesterday and we have 2 babies on board both measuring 14mm which is one day ahead of schedlue and there are 2 strong HB. They also found the source of the bleed which apparently is not uncommon with twins, so that is a relief. The bleeding has since stopped and there is just a bit of old bruising which is healing. DH is over the moon and we both couldn't get to sleep last night thinking about the outcome.

Shannon: at what stage did you start showing? I think I am and I am struggling to fit into my jeans. BTW I hope all is travelling well with your babies.

Catch up with everyone else soon, hope you are all well.

QueenH - congratulations! What fantastic news! My younger sisters are twins - and as much as I hated them growing up - they were so much fun!

BW - I hope all is better now. You poor thing - what a week you had.

Scooby - I can't believe that someone would say that! I bet you can't wait for you scan on Friday.

TL - what luck you have! That timing was just perfect. What day is your appointment? Bet you can't wait for another scan - I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms now!

Hi Numa, MissC, Megan, Devon, Shannon and anyone else I have missed.

AFM - I am now 9 weeks 1 day pregnant! The excitement is really starting to set in now. Just under 3 weeks until we will be able to tell work and our friends. I think my work must think that there is something going on as I have been consistently late for work the past couple of weeks. My MS is worst first thing in the morning and last thing at night, so it is very hard to get motivated to get to work in the morning. It will be such a relief to be able to let them know that I'm not just being slack! Apart from that, as mentioned above I am getting withdrawal symptoms from not having another scan for 3 weeks. Have my NT BT on Monday next week, then NT scan two weeks after that. Can't wait! Wish I could go to sleep and wake up on the morning of 15/09/08 - actually that would be really great because then hopefully I would have slept through most of my MS!

Hi Ladies

Oh wow lots going on here

Queen- Congrats on your twinnies! I suppose probably around 8 - 10 weeks i had to buy looser fitting pants but everyone actually said i was quite small for twins until about 18 weeks and then the rapid growth hit BIG TIME and now i feel huge at 26 weeks. Did the twins have their own sacs or are they looking like identicals?

Janie - Hang in there with the morning sickness, i sure they dont think you are slack I really hope time flies for you and you can shout from the rooftops that you are pregnant!

Numa - I say well done on even thinking about baking a cake! The lounge sounds like a much more relaxing option.

Scooby - hope the scan went well on Friday and bub is going great!

BW - Hope your feeling better and that this is turning out to be a much better week!

TL - Congrats on the new job, sounds like things worked out perfectly! How did you go at the Ob today?

Devon - Good luck with the big 20 week scan. Are you finding out gender? How long to go now?

Megan - They sound like great levels for 5 weeks! And yep i know i had heaps of cramping etc like AF was about to arrive until about 8 weeks i think. Just mother nature having her fun with us i guess. Hope the morning sickness is treating you well and your not having too hard of a time.

Miss C - What happening with you and CB? Have you guys moved? how is the new job? Hope everything is going great!

How about you Numa? Hope everything is going well!

Ok i hope i didn't miss anyone and HUGE to everyone!

AFM - Feeling huge and sore and tired Had a slight scare on Friday thought i had gone into labour, so after 4 hours of pains not easing up we went up to the hospital to discover i have sprained by stomach which was causing contractions. Ahh the joys apparently it is common in multiple births with the belly having to grow twice as quickly (sorry Queen ) but other than that all is good. I am off to Sydney for a conference tonight so will check in when i get back on the weekend! Have a lovely week!

BW - You can get Brewers Yeast at the health food shop hope it helps
Scooby
Queen H 2 bubs with heart beats
Shan: All went well see below
Janie sounds like appart for MS all is well

We had our first Ob vist and heard the heartbeat how amazing Bubs is growing well and is at 8 weeks 2 days so measuring right on size.

He showed me the bleed and said I may keep spotting for a few more weeks but only 5% chance on Misscarrige now which is great news.

Off for a scan at 10 weeks to make sure bubba is still ok but I am sure it will hopefully I can relax a bit more now
