Just crashing the thread to let you know Wantbaby#2 is a Mummy again! Notice posted in the BAs but will also post below for those of you on mobiles. Just want to say a big to those of you due & nearly due & we look forward to welcoming you into the Parenting thread!
IT'S A GIRL!!!
I am very excited to post on behalf of Wantbaby#2 that her precious little girl has arrived!
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.
Hi Brunette, yes we have chatted in the LTTTC 2WW thread i think. I steered clear of that thread this time as it made me a little nutty and obsessive on my 2nd cycle (last Nov). I found the 2WW went so much faster this time!
LondonMiss good luck with your impending birth!
AMF- still very scared, its so early and i want my first scan to hurry up! Im crampy all the time which i thought was normal but i worries me a little.
CK & Brunette i'm glad to hear that you guys are having those stabbing crampy pains at the moment. Mine are quite low and were beginning to worry me but hearing you guys have the same thing makes me feel better about it.
CK -How beautiful for your DH, i am still only feeling flutters nothing that i can recognise as definate movement yet, can't wait, hopefully won't be too much longer.
Jaki - I had quite a bit of cramping early on as well, it definately is nerve racking!!!
Lairdoz - Glad you felt more comfortable with your OB it makes a big difference when you do.
LM - I hope that your bundle of joy arrives anytime now, can't wait to hear the news.
AFM - Well i have not been physically sick for 1 whole week !!!!! YAY!!! Still really get nausea till about 11 in the morning but then it goes. Touch wood that it is finally over. Not much else is happening, still 2 weeks till 20 wk scan. Trying to clear out what will be the babies room so i can actually get started on it! Enjoy your Sunday ladies
Jaki, as long as the cramping isn't painful and you've got no bleeding, it should all be fine. I had the same thing and I'm still getting it at times.
Renee, good to hear you're starting to feel better. Ugh, don't remind me we have to convert our storage room to a nursery. I've got no idea where we're going to put everything.
Brunette, I hope you can shorten the shopping list to the essentials. We have friends with twins and they certainly had a lot of stuff. We're quite fortunate that they plan to give us a lot of what we need (eg cot, etc). Actually, her response on Friday when I sent an SMS about our scan was "when can we start bringing stuff over?". And all of our friends have a few boxes of baby clothes that do the rounds, so we shouldn't have any shortage there unless someone else has a baby at the same time (only one likely couple who we haven't seen for a few weeks and last time they waited until 2nd tri to tell, so it's possible). There is some advantage to having had to wait so long for this...
LondonMiss, I hope things have progressed quickly since your show.
Lairdoz, I'm glad your OB appointment and scan went well! I don't know about you, but I was kind of excited to be able to keep my pants on for an u/s for the first time!!

Thomas Edward.
Born at 17.59 on 21.07.10
Weighing a sweet 2890g, HC 34cm, Apgars 8 and 9. more details to follow.
We had our NT scan today and thankfully got good results. Risk for Downs is 1:6630. Risk for Trisomy 18 and 13 were 1:16835 and 1:52631, respectively. Very happy. And today was the first time in around 8 weeks that I ate 3 meals! Admittedly, breakfast was only a museli bar, but still, I'm counting it... Also went for baseline bloods today and had a lovely chat with the phlebotomist as she extracted about 8 vials of blood. Turns out she had twins with IVF (now 18yo). Big day!
Thanks for doing the list Renee. It's so strange to see myself move up. I remember when I first went on the bottom of that list and people were amazed that there was a 2011 bub on the list already!! he he
