Pregnancy after LT TTC #12

[Brunette]

Hi ladies, I've been MIA for a little while. Went back to work this week - only 2 days and one is tomorrow but I've got appointments every day and stuff on. Will try to catch up with everyone's news.

Lairdoz, congratulations. I posted to you about Hcg levels in the twins thread. Totally understandable about how you feel moving from LTTTC to this thread; felt the same thing. Welcome.

Renee, sorry to hear you've still got MS. At a doc's appt on Monday, this lady had her head between her legs for about half an hour and a scarf over her head. Must have been MS. Really felt for her. 3D scans are amazing, aren't they? Did you get a DVD of the scan?

Maggie, again, can only sympathise with your MS. It sounds horrible.

CK, I know what you mean about the forms for North West. I've done the online and the hard copy, too. Plus called and left a message with the hospital. I have booked in for my antental classes and due to having twins and the likelihood of not carrying to term, I booked early. I am going to Saturday afternoon classes starting 4 September. On the down-low, my FS said that from week 25 he wants me to give up work so I figured best to have some knowledge in case I'm surprised and they come early, or I'm too huge to attend Apparently NWPH is getting a new maternity wing that they're hoping will be finished by December. I hope so, too! November would be good. So have you got Tisan as your OB?

Glenny, scans are great because they are very reassuring. I am sure you will be fine and everything is going great. I had many, many scans in my 12-week period because of all my bleeding and problems, and I will be 14 weeks tomorrow.

Paula, what a relief to get a good scan and also a good GTT. Why the link between PCOS and gestational diabetes?

Lise, you still hanging in there? I really feel for you, but I'll be the opposite when I get to where you are (FX), as I'll be crossing my legs and wanting my twins to stay in me for as long as they can as I don't want them in special care or NICU. Is DH still being stubborn and holding out? I was on doctor's orders of no sex till week 12. At my appointment this week (his last day before hols so and in the afternoon so not good timing as he was in a hurry to get through all of his patients and be on his way!) he did a quick scan, tried to talk politics to my partner (I'm like, do you mind; I'm here to talk about the babies) answered a few questions and that was it. He doesn't want to see me again till another month. Scary but everything seems to be fine, and sex is back on the menu. Except I'm scared it's going to hurt the babies! Anyhoo ... sorry if TMI but this morning after the doing the deed, my stomach (which is definitely starting to show) was tilted on one side; looked like they'd moved to the right and it freaked me out. Also, I've been getting these pains on my left side a fair bit lately; hard to know whether it's growing pains and uterus getting bigger or if problem. How do you know? Help!

Juniper, my FS who is also my OB gave me the referral for the NT scan and the 20-week scan really early on, but getting a referral from your GP shouldn't be a problem. Where does your OB deliver?

Leabie, GL for your scan, not that you'll need it. It is really amazing. I bet you can't wait till you can tell everyone. Not long now.

Hi and belly rubs to any ladies I've missed!
