First tri for me, was terrible. I had awful morning sickness, bloatedness, and a lot of trapped wind. I sometimes found my self asleep on the sofa with a cup of tea in my hand, how I didn't spill it I'll have no idea. I'd had two previous miss carries so was paranoid everytime I went to the toilet or had a twinge and questioned everything. When I reached the 2nd tri I breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear about horror stories of other twin mums giving birth 4 months early! It certainly is an emotional roller coaster. You get double hormone levels too, I had a few shouting matches with my poor partner, one in the street!! All down to me over reacting of course. Oh and then there was the finding out of their sex, I cried with joy for weeks after we found out we were expecting girls. As we have a 5 year old boy, so it was just so special to be having girls. But yes as Mon said 2nd tri I had loads of energy and managed to get loads done.
I am now entering my 3rd tri at over 26 weeks and am starting to lose that energy, feeling very tired by the afternoon and sleeping is a challenge. I look like I should be around 35 weeks, so belly is huuuge! You gals in your early stages keep slapping on the cream to help prevent stretch marks. And above all make sure you get plenty of rest, no over doing it you're carrying precious cargo in that there tums of yours. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
Hi Kezzabird I have read a couple of website which I have now stopped doing because of all the horror stories its starting to freak me out. I have heard that when you are pregnant with twins you are 6 to 8 weeks a head in size of a singelton baby.
Its nice to have someone to talk to about it, because no one I know has twins so it is hard to talk to people and my DH is great he does listen but I don't know if he really gets it but he is in the same boat I am I guess. I am a stay at home mum so it feels like it is going so slow I keep busy with my daughter with swimming lessons and playgroup but still feels like it is going so slow. Are you working if so when do you think you will finish?
Kawazuki what are your levels?
Bubwishes were your bubs heart rate and is 1 smaller then the other, did you put 2 eggs back in or 1.
Yes I am a stay at home mum too, my littlun goes to kindy, he's one of the older ones, he just missed out because his birthday falls on 17th Jan. He so needs the stimulation, during the Easter break he drove me mad with all his energy and constant noise! Now he's back into his routine of kindy he has calmed down and is just thriving learning and playing with his little mates at school.
I am not feeling too great today, I don't know if I'm coming down with something, but I woke up with a terrible headache this morning and I keep coming over really feint and dizzy. I'm just taking it easy today, luckily little one is at kindy today, so I can put my feet up and rest.
I did IVF and received two wonderful little boys, Then went on to conceive naturally. Just wanted to wish you all the very best and hope your preganancy continues to go well.
thanks for popping by and visiting my blog. It does feel like time drags, but i cant believe how fast it has gone now in retrospect.
I had to put a stop to reading things that freak you out. unfortunately with twins risk and complications do increase but best to not worry. And yes re. the size. I have had moments of suffering from belly envy when see people that are a 1wk away from giving birth and I am much bigger. So they way i think - double the stress but double the joy. It will all be so worth it in the end!
BTW they say its normal for one twin to be different in size. My boy is a week bigger than the girl in size. the most important thing is that they are both growing.
MBP thats great you concieved naturally after the twins maybe they balanced everything out, Thanks for your wishes.
Mon Thanks for all the tips and advice I hope you are relaxing with a nice cup of tea. I have the Twin book also but am up t the breast feeding part its so interesting.
Kawazuki those numbers are big
AFM I starting to feel that sickie feeling again and my bbs are hugh and tender I have to wear my maternity bra's already. I received a letter from IVF yesterday they sent me a copy of the letter they sent to my OB and It stated that I have Monochorionic monoamniotic twins which I think means Identical twins shearing the same placenta and amniotic sack, I was hoping that was not the case as I know they have more problems getting tangled and twin twin transfusion I think thats what it is called. Do you think it would be to early to say if they do share the same amniotic sack. Ive heard that some times they can't see the membrane. Ha I think im just cluching at straws. I guess I will have to take each day as they come. Can't wait to see my OB to get more info.
Oh and then there was the finding out of their sex, I cried with joy for weeks after we found out we were expecting girls. As we have a 5 year old boy, so it was just so special to be having girls. But yes as Mon said 2nd tri I had loads of energy and managed to get loads done.
