Chrissy, I saw Bob this morning and thought of you as I walked past your dr's rooms. I am lucky to be able to see Bob as I was seeing him before changing to a different FS who got me UTD. In answer to some of your questions, I got some info on a lot of it this morning. You're right you can book into antenatal classes from 15 weeks onwards. Maybe we could book into the same antenatal class, as Bob delivers at North West, too. You are so organised already checking out the rooms. If you have to have a c-section, I wonder whether you get to go back to those double bed rooms with spas? Might check out the website, too. Re good books, I really liked What to Expect When You're Expecting (which I have read cover to cover, which Kris says is the only person she knows who has done that) plus I'm on my second multiples book. She told me no more reading and no more googling because it's more horror stories than good on Google - much to the relief of my DH! Enjoy your holiday in Port Douglas and Cairns. I'm the same as you - no sex until 12 weeks. They'll be all right - men!
Hey Glenny, funny that you're also seeing CK's doc and probably going to deliver at North West? Maybe we could all do the same antenatal class?
AFM, as I said, I saw Bob this morning and had another scan, 7 weeks and 5 days today. Still about 10mm blood around, but both twins are growing. One is slightly larger than the other: 16mm and 14mm and apparently you can see the beginnings of the placenta, little arm buds and egg yolk - at least bob could but we have a family snap now. Lots of info given to me by Kris about when to book in scans for Downs etc so bit to absorb but feel a lot better and more reassured now. I need to get onto a good iron supplement as anaemia can be an issue with multiples. Still confined to home till week 12 but Bob said I can sit in front of the computer and on the lounge - and I can even go out once a week with mum if I'm in a wheelchair to the shops to have a look around (really to claim back money from Medicare!) so I am very happy about that.
Hullo all. First of all, how bollocking freezing is it???? Serves me right for buying my maternity wear when I was 12 weeks. Had my 30 week visit today, now have visits at 33 weeks (doc), 36 (midw), 38 (doc), 40 (midw) and 41 (doc) weeks. Thought I'd share that as no one else had told me it, v frustratingly. Started my antenatal classes last night, how hilariously middle class and touchy feely that was. I nearly punched a man who kept saying things like "we're not having pain relief". No, you aren't no. That's because you're a man and aren't squeezing a 10cm bone mass out of your sexual organs. WE????? WE?????? jesus wept.
Oh sweetheart - I hope you are ok. I think I'm right is saying you don't mind having a boy other than you've got used to the idea of having a girl, but even so it must be a bit of a swerve ball. Thinking of you xxxx
CONGRATS KYRA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you are enjoying every little minute xxoo

Londonmiss - Soo true about the "I only have to look at my husband line" that just used to get to me! And I am laughing at your explosive stomach I had that the other week!
