Wishes, Congratulations on the birth of Casey. Sounds like you had a pretty traumatic time. I hope you are feeling heaps better now.

Wantbaby, Congratulations on the birth of your daughter Ellie Juliette. Love the name you've chosen, too.

LM, The (euphemistically called) stretch and sweep sounds awful! Thinking of you and sending you strenght and positive vibes. Can't wait to hear from you with news of bub's arrival.

Jaki, Welcome to the thread. (I think we've chatted in a different thread before?)

Juniper, Did you like your OB? Great news on your scan. Are you going to an US clinic to have a 12-week scan? We've not had anyone use a doppler on me, so I haven't heard the babies heartbeats yet. My OB has a pretty old US screen. Good news that MS is easing a little.

CK, How exciting that your DH felt the little one move for the first time. Those stabbing pains are horrible, aren't they? Our OB said it was nothing to worry about; simply the uterus stretching to accommodate the babies, so that was reassuring to hear.

Lairdoz, Glad that you like your OB and all was well with your scan. The two-odd weeks will fly by and you'll soon be in having your 12 week scan, which is simply amazing!

MaggiePie, Yep, you were right; those pains are the uterus stretching. Hope you're recovering from your cold and took the advice of LM and simply rested. I read in a PG book that tomato is one of the many foods they recommend for the 1st trimester, so your body obviously knows that is what it need. Funny how the body works, isn't it?

AFM, I was 18 weeks on Friday. Yay! Our OB appt went well. Saw both heartbeats and got a rough measurement of the twins as well as a guesstimate of weight but can't remember now whether it was for each twin or the combined weight of both. My belly has really, really popped and I am only just fitting into one pair of work pants. Soooo ... today I bought some maternity clothes and also started looking at nursery items. Can't afford to go crazy as we have to buy for two, but god there is so much stuff out there that they try to sell you! I'm sure if I had the $$$ it would be very hard to say no.

Hi and belly rubs to anyone I've missed. Have a good weekend.
