Miss K, Thanks for your welcome! It is reassuring to hear that although you too had a horrible scare for a number of weeks with a blood clot it has all worked out for you. I too hope I'm in the same boat. I allowed myself to go and borrow some baby books from a local library today for the first time because I didn't want to get my hopes up to have them dashed! I had another scan today because my spotting was getting heavier but still brown (sorry if TMI) and both bubs heart beats were beating away in their separate sacs with egg yolks. I had a list of questions for my FS this time, and I asked whether he thought it was just the blood clot coming away, which he said yes, and what risk group I am in now. He said 80/20 - 80 per cent being able to take home my babies. Still another week's bed rest and another scan next Wednesday. I wish I could stop worrying; I am such a worrywort!
Hi to CK and Renee from the LTTTC thread!
Hi Londonmiss, I totally get where you're coming from with cleaning. Now that I'm UTD (plus on bed rest) all those things that used to worry me like picking up after others and putting things in their place are so totally irrelevant
Right, now warning, this might make you laugh and I don't want you rupturing something!!!
After two nights out in a row, have been feeling a bit rough so I was on the heat pack again today - same place as before... it's filled with lavender and smells lovely I assure you.. anyway, it got cold and I sent DH to put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Watched some ads, program came back on. I shouted out, isn't it done yet. Dozy plonker had only put it on for thirty minutes intstead!!! He said, I'd leave it a minute before you put it on your 'ahem'. NO **** SHERLOCK!!! Can you imagine trying to explain third degree burns on your muff (but with a distintive lavender smell) to a doctor in A&E????
Another newbie, what's in the waters in that LTTTC thread?! Welcome CK77, so nice to see another face!!
Londonmiss - hehehe, your DH is funny. Was he quite thinking straight?! How have your nights out been? And tell me the name of the bar you were thinking of passing on - DH and I are very much missing Melbourne at the moment so living vicariously through our friends still there...!
Brunette - every day brings you closer and closer. I found the first trimester just DRAGGED but the second just flew by and now there's only 8 weeks to go so keep hanging in
Miss K - I go through stages with cleaning, from being completely retentive to being complete slob, so we'll see which side wins out!!
Went to a yummy girly family lunch yesterday, was very lovely but I ate sooo much that I didn't eat any dinner and was still full when I went to bed. Okay, I MAY have found some room for some Nestle milk melts (I'm a little addicted at the moment, just dreadful
DH has just come back with my breakfast so better get up. Hope everyone is having good weekend xx
Hello all. Last night was the Emerald Pea****, it was very cool and far too hip for someone not drinking, wearing flat shoes and looking rather like a milkcow. But rather good fun people watching and observing drunkeness. DH came home about 1am with a friend both of them shouting "shhhh" at each other, then proceeded watch war films until 3am wrapped curiously in a beach towel. It was so funny it wasn't cross making, naturally I was up for a wee anyway....
But I must admit I played on the hangover this morning, we had our 4d scan and went with a friend and her toddler, who I encouraged in a game of 'lets make lots of noise' on the xylophone... ha ha ha that'll teach him But the scan was a bit rubbish, Little Miss was stubbornly curled up facing backwards. We tried: cold icy water, lots of chocolate, a walk round the park, jumping and wriggling and eventually ice on my belly to get her to walk up and shift which she did, and then promptly put her hands up over her face. So no pictures. I'm going back on Tuesday to try again as they don't charge you unless you get the pics. Had to have a bath to warm up when I got home! Lovely to see her though, she's so big, and kinda looks like a baby now and not an alien. Which is nice....
I've just had a baking frenzy. Made muffins with All Bran (the theory being I'll eat any muffin and it's a good way of getting chopped figs and some fibre down my neck without my brain going BORING), a rather nice new recipe for Cinnamon and Walnut Slice which is dead healthy except for the syrup mix that I'm about to put on the top. And we're having baked figs for pudding tonight. I suppose I ought to eat a vegetable at some point to balance all this sugar out te he he I am RAVENOUS all the time at the moment.
how are you all and what are you up to? No news from Kyra - do you think we can hope now?
Londonmiss - wow it must be so exciting to see the baby look so big, i hope you get some pics on tuesday.
Brunette - Congrats on twins honey. Hope everything goes well.
Miss K - i can't wait to go shopping!!!! I am holding off till i get close enough to 12 weeks, although i did cave and buy 2 gorgeous white singlets over the weekend. I couldn't help myself.
CK77 - Hi i freak out too with every ache, pain, cramp and odd feeling!!!!!I am slowly getting better.
I had a my 10 yr high school reunion over the weekend which was great, it is funny how no one has changed we are all just 10 yrs older!!! I am startinf to feel a little sick now but not till about 5 in the arvo and it seems to last through till mid morning. I am really tired and am going to the toilet ALOT!!!!! I am trying not to freak out everytime i feel an ache or pain just keep telling myself it is normal. I can't wait till 12 weeks gets here.
Welcome Chrissy! So great to see new faces moving in here from the LTTTC thread LondonMiss 30 minutes for a heat pack!! Wow... DH's can be so...silly (to put it nicely)!! Thats why most of the time its way easier to just do things yourself rather than asking a male to do it for you! Shame about the scan but thats great that you get to go back. Hopefully bub will cooperate next time. Renee i hear you on the waiting till the 12 week mark. To be honest though until you start to feel bub move frequently you always worry about every little niggle and pain. Im sure you will be fine though so enjoy the fact the YOU ARE PREGNANT!! Kyra any news??????
Spent yesterday going through ALLLLL the clothes we have bought Tiana and putting all the newborn/lil sizes in one pile and the bigger stuff in another pile so that i know what needs to be washed first. So exciting seeing all the tiny and cute things. However, i cant believe how much we have I think she will need to change every hour to wear all she has at least once!! LOL
Londonmiss, interesting that they don't charge you till you see a pic - and that you tried everything to get the little bean to turn over but to no avail Hope you see her face on Tuesday's scan!
Hi Paula, newborn clothes are so gorgeous. I am resisting the temptation to go shopping until the 12thw week at the very earliest. I'm on 2 weeks bed rest from a ruptured blood vessel and clotting, and only just borrowed some baby books this weekend gone.
Hey Renee, have you had a transvaginal scan yet? If not, when are you booked for one? I have had three so far - and I have one picture but it's very hard to make anything out. Every time I spot or cramp or get a twinge I panic. I don't think I'll stop worrying until I hold my jelly beans in my arms!
Hello Lise, I hear you when you say the first trimester is dragging. I am counting the days till 12 weeks. Only eight weeks to go. Bet you can't wait. Have you found out the gender of your bub or do you want it to be a surprise?
Hey ladies, can I ask how many of you have not had any morning sickness? I know it's only very early days for me but I've got nothing so far - and again I don't know if it's true or not but I thought if you were pregnant with twins given the higher hcg levels you would be more likely to get morning sickness? Any comments appreciated!

: Forgot to ask a question
I hope you all had a fantastic mothers day yesterday.
Miss K - what a beautiful sister you have. Sorry DH wasn't more understanding, maybe he just doesn't want to get his hopes up just yet. Try not to let it get you too down, you have that little miracle inside
Londonmiss - that would be so annoying, your poor DH!! I agree about kids in public though. We would always just have to sit still and eat our meal with maybe a colouring book if we were lucky. but nowdays it is a joke. We went out not that long ago with friends who have a 2 1/2 yr old and they bought one of those green shooping bags full of trucks, toys, colouring in things, puzzles as well as the portable dvd player and he hardly played with anything, he just wanted to chase the other kids around!!! I swore i will not be like that!
Lise - GL with the scan hope it goes well.
wishes & wantbaby2 - Hi hope you ladies are well.
AFM - I am really struggling with morning (all day) sickness. I envy you ladies who weren't sick. I have started going off food all together, don't worry DH is still making me eat when he can, just want even a slight reprieve. I have a Doc app on thurs so maybe there is something she can give me to help relieve it a bit. Other than that all seems good.
But the scan was a bit rubbish, Little Miss was stubbornly curled up facing backwards. We tried: cold icy water, lots of chocolate, a walk round the park, jumping and wriggling and eventually ice on my belly to get her to walk up and shift which she did, and then promptly put her hands up over her face.
