hey girls, just a quickie as it's my last day at work before hols, so very busy, but just wanted to say
mindhugs- I am on daily clexane the whole way through also (since the day of ET) so I hear you! It does get easier though, it's just part of my morning routine now...I find it helps if I dont think too much about and press firmly on the spot afterwards. Good luck. Glad your appt went well...sorry that you have to have a CS though...at least you have plenty of time to get mentally prepared for that.
hah...a shire girl too! I bet we do know people in common...will PM you ;-)
airline- it scares me to think about the birth just yet! I can understand your approach honestly, which is funny as I am a planner also.
grub- hope alls well!
oneday- glad things are progressing along and hope you arent too sick
a big hi to everyone else!
afm- off to sydney tomorrow, and back early next week, and have the rest of the week off, looking forward to a break from work! so i might not be around so much for the next week.

Hi Girls
Possums: I know you are on holidays now, but have a fab time... Oh how I would love a holiday...
MH: With DD I knew I was having a c/s from 10 weeks and at 9 weeks with these guys so it gave me plenty of time to look into everything and be as informed as possible and to be honest I think having an elective c/s is much easier than an emergency c/s as your body isn't exhausted after having to labour and then have surgery. The worst part for me was after I had the spinal my blood pressure dropped (it always does with anaesthetic) and I felt sick during the procedure but everything else was smooth sailing.
Airline: In the blink of an eye you are now carrying a full term baby, how did that happen
Oneday: Good to hear that you and DH are on the same page as this makes things so much better..
Grub: Come on what did you get from the bakery.. I know you, you wouldn't have been able to resist..
I had my 28 week scan yesterday and got a couple of good shots of Twin B but couldn't see Twin A's face as he had his brothers arms and legs in the way, but it was so squashy in there I amazed the sonographer could tell which arms and legs belonged to which baby. Well now I have a reason for feeling so horrid all the time - apart from being pregnant that is - both twins have doubled in weight since the last scan 4 weeks ago and now Twin A weighs 1428grams and Twin B weighs 1422grams or pretty close to 3lb 1oz each and are now showing they are 2 weeks bigger than our dates. Considering DD was only 3120grams (7lb) born it makes sense as I am also carying 2 placenta's and all the fluid... I know my Ob wants to get me to 38 1/2 weeks to deliver but I'm going to ask next week what would be his minimum delivery date as I don't know how I will be able to physically or mentally last another 10 weeks.. With all the pain and discomfort I'm suffering from and also lack of sleep as I can't sleep on my sides for very long and if I try and sleep sitting up Twin A presses on a vein and causes me to lose blood flow to my leg 10 weeks seems like an age away and poor DH will be sick of hearing me complain all the time..
Anyway better go check on DD, I heard a big bang before so I'm sure she has decided to trash the house in some way...

just off to swimming lessons so will post later... but kelly.... not bakery... supermarket is FULL of food lol... and a family bar of white chocolate and I became.... intimate :) mmmmmmmmmmm
-
:wall:oh kelly! are your parents back yet? sounds like you need a lot more support than you're getting atm so you can rest up a bit. It just sounds really taxing atm, and I can only empathise and wish you a speedy 10 weeks.
You are doing such a wonderful job, at least those boys are going to be nice and strong when they arrive! but, geez, i can imagine the dread you feel for the next 10 weeks.
hope the docs can give you some answers or reassurances. have you looked on the website for any sleeping aides etc for twin bellies? surely there's something out there that might help!
possums - hope you have a good break love!!!
and oneday - that is only the start of the hunger... wait til bubs lays down its brown fat layer - you'd eat your young if it was seasoned with enough salt! lol. I think that's the worst part of pregnancy... i just feel sssoooo hungry all the bleeting time, it drives me nuts thinking about food constantly!
ps my chocolate bar was very tasty tasty... i even gave one row to DH :rofl: (he doesn't know it was a fmaily-sized block heheheh hope he doesn't see this post!
-
Hey Ladies,
Just sat down to catch up and all the talk about chocolate has MADE me (yep, I had no choice) eat a block of choc - not a family sized one though! It's stupid logic but I am getting it in while I can - I had GD with DS and it was pretty full-on - lots of insulin shots, so I just know I'll get it again and will have to eat like a nun.
Kelly- ouch - my belly hurts just reading your posts now. How can you tell which one is Twin A and B when they're always moving around and so squished up in there? When they're out, will you know which one was which? Sorry - I'm always the one with the annoying questions. You sound like you need a good massage, which in itself could be quite problematic. Oh hon - hope it's not too much longer!
Oneday - glad you and DH are one the same page with the waiting it out. I have to say I'm a bit like grub in that I still do it regularly, but not as much, but more because I'm sure he must be getting frustrated. I could honestly go without I reckon, but I guess it's that 'wifely duty' thing we feel. It's good when we do do it, but you know, my priorities are elsewhere. And, like someone else said, it kind of feels a bit sort of throbby for a while afterwards and I have to pee EVEN more than normal. So, either way, hope it works out for you.
Airline - what, no birth plan!!!! Just kidding, I think they must prefer it that way. It is so hard to plan, down to the last detail something that you have never done before, when you are there with professionals who do it (well, not 'do' it, but you know) every day. It must be so much easier to manage a woman who basically wants to do it as naturally as possible but will do whatever is necessary to get it out safely, than someone who has ten zillion bullet points. Well, you'll know soon enough - yay!!!
Mindhugs - ooh, it doesn't sound like very much fun over in your corner at the moment. :hug: Money problems that you can't fix are the worst, and so are health problems you can't fix. Sorry sista - it will def be all worth it in the end xx
Grub - you had my blood boiling reading about your MIL - so glad you sorted it out, my heart couldn't take it any more! I have realised that I let mine get to me waaaaay too much and they are nowhere near as bad as yours. Good luck keeping them under control in the long term xx
Possums - enjoy your break!
I am thoroughly enjoying this boring uneventful part of my pg. My belly is at the awkward-in-between stage where I just look like I've put on a couple of kilos but it's starting to get heavy and achy (Kelly, I know I have no right to complain). I think my muscles must be so non-existent and I am way too good at finding excuses for not exercising. AND I have started feeling some little flutters - ahhh bliss!!!!
K xxoo

Ladies just a quick question with your morning sickness did you have it everyday or somedays nothing? Well its not really morning sickness i guess but as i said for the past week and a half iv been really hungry all the time and felt sick but nothing at all today??? is this normal to somedays feel ok or should i be worried? I wish i could have a scan every week to put my mind at ease lol.
-
hi oneday, yeah it would come and go. But mostly i'd feel sick about the same time each day. somedays i'd vomit, other days just nausea and other days i'd feel perfectly fine.
i hate that early part, it's so hard and you worry so much... and it's difficult not to either. Really until bub started to move properly, I'd have near panic attacks that "something bad'' had happened iykwim. NOw bub is moviing and I know how to get it dancing, I can check and keep an eye on it myself. if that makes sense.
I think everyone can understand what you mean wanting scans every week lol.
it's funny isn't it... you hate the ms but you love it being there!!!
not sure if any of that is reassuring love... so big hugs!!! :)
oxox

Thanks grub it does help, i just worry about everything and the time is dragging! as you would all know. I dont know what id do without this wonderful site without all you lovely ladies to talk to :) xxxxxx

hey just popping in....oneday...i was never sick in the morning, but from about midday through to bedtime i was nauseaus, only threw up 4 times, and finally worked out that it was acidic food. It was most days for 9 weeks for me....BUT every girl's different!!!!
So who's next to pop on the list??? I'm sure there's someone before Jaki and I and we're 28th and 30th March. Today DH and I officially started to verbally encourage the wee man to come out and meet us. Told him how much more room there is out here for starters!! Last night, light out at 10pm ish, moved to spare room at 11.30pm cos fidgety and itchy and insomnia...didn't sleep till after 1am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! arrrghhhhhh. DH as usual noticed I wasn't there by about....ooh 7am when he woke up.
For the Dexter lovers, just finished that last series....ooh how good!! Finally caught up with Desperate Housewives (been watching that from series 1 episode 1 for months!) off to watch Glee now...sad I know, then hopefully SLEEP! xx
-
Airline the 2 above us gaveled posted in a long time! So I'm gonna be nasty and say they don't count ;)
I've been keeping so busy in Brisbane, it's good cause it's passing the time. We also verbally encourage, or beg, the baby to come out!
I'm having induction acupuncture this tues and thurs, and on weds I'm having an internal at the ob so I will ask for a stretch and sweep.
We will be booking in my medical induction on weds too, I'm hoping for Friday but I have a feeling it'll be more like Monday.
Hope your all well
Xoxo
-
That's supposed to say 'haven't posted in a long time'
Bl**dy auto-correct!
Lol
-
hey jaki,
I'm having acupuncture weekly too again, but he said it was to prepare me for birth....maybe I should ask for induction style! 2 questions, did your ob say you should have a medical induction or did you ask for one? Is that your first internal, only I've not had one yet and wondered this week if he'll do one or not before labour?.
-
oooh girls : Jaki and airline - stretch and sweeps and inductions - how excitement! Good luck good luck goood luck xoxoxo
oneday - my sickness was full-on at first then when I got to about 10 weeks it was there somedays and somedays not. I am having my own worries now - I have felt some movements, but not in a few days now. It's not like at the end when you're used to feeling them all the time, it was only a few flutters, but now nothing. Ahhh, bring on Friday's scan xo
-
The induction is due to the GD. The baby isn't measuring too huge but because I'm so far from home she is happy to induce. The acupuncture I'm having as a rule she said they don't do until after your due date but given I'm having a medical induction they will do it to try and avoid the medical intervention :)
It will be my first internal, and to be honest I think it's just to see how 'ripe' I am for the induction.
-
ahh cheers m'dear Jaki, of course, the GD - silly me. Well only 1 hour insomnia at 3ish which is pretty good. Gosh I am so ready to meet my little man................every night have dreams relating to birth, having a baby, feeding a baby all sorts, and all kinds of wierd!!
hope everyone else is travelling well and had a great weekend. belly rubs and bellyflutters to all xx
-
kaybee - i'm hearing you!!! when this bub started to move, it was only a flutter every now and again and I was so worried... i wasn't even sure it was movement. I now realise I was expecting to feel the movement level of a full term baby (remember DS was only born in dec 2009 so it was very fresh in my mind).
I was so glad when this bub got more active... and now it's even more active than Asthon ever was lol. And i love it so much, i don't even get frustrated at my 3am bladder kicks :) I don't think i ever can get frustrated cos I'm so glad to feel he/she move.
DH and I have gone back to the baby name drawing board... again! and I think I may have finally got him to consider a girls name other than EMILY! He says it's still his favourite but after i pointed out he was being a petulant teenager by not even considering or talking about other options which I might like also - he's been willing to get a list done.
Our idea - get a name we both like although neither of us might love, love ie i love Amity, he loves Emily lol
And we've managed to ad a 2nd name to our boys list!!! it had always only been the other name we had taken to the hospital when ash was born... but i found one that we both like as much :)
jaki and airline - hope those bubs come out of their own accord soon!!!! I had a s&s with DS and it didn't bleeting work! I didn't do acupuncture tho. But i walked, i ate curries, i had sex, i bounced my head off on a fit ball... did everything 'natural' you could except castor oil yukko! and in the end DS came when he wanted, 4 days 'late'.
This time round I'm starting my "get oowt of me belly" (read in the accident of fat bastard from austin powers pls :) ) routine about 38 weeks lol. I just wish these kids came with a EDD and an AAD (actual arrival date)!
hi to all my girls here!!! better go and feed my child some breakfast!!! :)
-
Hehe grub, my hubby has been doing that... And he is Scottish so it's very cute!
-
Hey everyone,
Lots going on in here as always. Some ready to pop and some ready to yak!!! Well that's me too ;)
Jaki & Airline - both in Brisvegas!!! I moved down from there about 2 years ago, but my journey started up there. The hospitals, doctors AND acupuncturists are all quite good. I'm sure you're both in good hands there. I was at Brisbane Private for most of my IVF treatments, and the bub I have on board was made in a petrie dish somewhere in that building and kept in the freezer before being whizzed down the hwy to the GC for transfer. Good luck with it all. This must feel so exhilarating for you both. Can't wait to read all about it in here.
Grub - I love Amity too, and the meaning of that name. So hard picking names that you both like huh?
Oneday - MS........yes, that's my middle name. Mine really is morning. Comes and goes. Not everyday all the time and does start to wear off gradually. Although I'm almost 17 weeks and had a nice big vomit in a public carpark outside the markets in the pouring rain yesterday. Was lovely!!! Thank god DH was with me. I've only vomitted twice though, which is good - but plenty of dry wretching. I envy those girls who don't get sick at all.
Kaybee - how exciting about your flutters. I can't wait to feel mine. I am seeing that sometimes one side of my belly is looking slightly bigger than the other from time to time. Won't be long before we get the kicks and elbows in the ribs - ouch!
Hope you're all having a great start to the week everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
