lori- yes, as she said "I am pretty sure" it was almost tongue in cheek as she was pointing between the legs at the time and there was definitely something there!
sorry no time for more just now...back in later

omg MH don't show your DH how to work it - you won't get a moments peace. Mine thinks its free reign on my boobs... the nursing singlets are the worst!!! But never fear, you can get bras with magnetic clasps that are extremely discreet... lol so my dh has cottoned onto those bras yet, he thinks they are "those crappy normal bras''... mmmwwwaaahhh.
men! lol i keep telling my DH my boobies haven't grown for his enjoyment... If you really want to illicit a tormented look from your partner tell them "they are the baby's boobies now, not yours". Haahahahaahaha

O.K Girls I'm back from my Ob appt and my head is a little bit in a spin....
Twin A has definately dropped and is supposed 4/5th engaged (will get confirmation at my scan next week along with cervical length) and Twin B is in a nice breech position with his bum planted under my hip. So anyway my Ob has told me we are now in the safe zone to stay in Ballarat in the twins deliver early so anytime between 32 - 35 weeks the only way the boys will be delivered is if I go in to labour (which I expected) however he has told me that if I turn up at hospital like 8cm dialated then we will proceed with a VB as there wouldn't be enough time to do a c/s. He said this is because the boys would be premmies then things will happen faster and will "slip out". FREAK a VB has never entered my thinking at all and as I didn't go into labour with DD this is all new to me.... Once we have hit 35 weeks then we will start looking at c/s options but the next 3 weeks i'm going to be on tenterhooks as with Twin b being breech this means anything could happen if I VB Twin A.
Anyway I better get some food into me or these boys are going to start going crazy..

Hi everyone,
Talking about being paranoid about your health and avoiding things during pregnancy etc... well I just found out something else we can't use during pregnancy!!! Cold Sore Creams!!!! I tend to get coldsores when I get stressed. I'm used to noticing the tingling feeling and starting treatment straight away so they don't come up or clear up quickly. Well today I felt that all familar tingling and went to the bathroom and discovered I had no cold sore cream left (as it turns out this was a blessing in disguise). I went to the chemist after work to buy some more. Was in the process of paying for it when I mentioned to the sales person that I was currently being treated for thrush and wondered if the two things could be connected or if it was just a coincidence. She asked if I'd taken antibiotics recently and when I said no she said "they can both be cause by being run down". I then said "I'm pregnant so I've been told that thrush is common in pregnancy". She then said "Oh, you're pregnant? You can't use this then." I asked if there was anything else I could use (meaning any other brand or whatever) and she said you can't use cold sore creams during pregnancy at all. The best she could suggest is to wipe it with tea tree oil to help prevent any other infections.
I'm so glad I mentioned the thrush or I would have bought the cream without thinking... though I noticed on the packet afterwards that there was warning not to use if you are or could be pregnant so hopefully I would have read that when I got home and not used it.
Anyway just thought I should mention it in case anyone else suffers from coldsores. I've been told all I can do is let the cold sore run it's course... I have a feeling it's going to be a huge one right in the middle of my top lip! Great!!!

Hi Kelly,
I think we posted at the same time. I can understand you being a little freaked about a vaginal birth with the twins... especially if one might be breech. Hopefully they hang in long enough for you to look at the c/s options.
My brothers last child was breech and although the labour was fairly fast and ok the baby had to be in special care unit for a couple of days because he had swallowed some of the m***** (can't remember how to spell it). Anyway he had to have suction etc but as I said all ended up okay. He was quite small so didn't have alot of problems actually coming out.
One of my friends had a son born breech too but he got stuck and his bottom ended up grinding on his mothers pelvic bone area so much that it scraped away the skin away (back to the muscle) and he couldn't wear nappies for weeks after he was born.
I had my daughter via vaginal birth so am hoping for the same this time... but I think I would be freaked if the baby was in breech position.
Best wishes

Kelly - If you have to go the VB they will surely fly right out, breech or not. He can turn again too, as you know. You will be fine and it will all work out perfectly. I'm crossing everything for a nice easy CS or VB for you. You obviously trust your doctor implictly like I do mine. If he suspected any major danger I'm sure he would act. Sit tight and try to remain relaxed and positive. This is your last moments of peace before your household very quickly goes from 3 to 5!!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to hear all about your beautiful boys
