10wks pg with twins need some advice

[azzrenae]

Hi twin mummies,

Teagz when do you have your scan? those numbers are abit high.

Blubelle Whaoo movement I can't wait to have that feeling I know what it feels like to have 1 kicking around in there but to have 2 I can't even imagine it. I have had a look around for some prams as well had have seen the Valco latitude and it looks pretty good the only thing is the high seems to be a low I have a tall husband he would found it hard to push. I will keep hunting around let me know how you go.

Kezzabird how are you feeling? Have you done all your shopping yet?

AFM Just hit my 2nd tri and am feeling really good still feeling abit low on energy but I am getting use to it. I have popped already and can't fit any of my pants so have brought a pair of maternity pants and wear my trackies alot more luckly its winter. I have my scan tomorrow so can't wait to see them again hopefully they have all there little bits and pieces. They also checking to see if they are shearing the same sac or separate fingers crossed they are in their own.

Hope everyone is looking after themselves

Hope everyone

I had the valco with toodler seat and i loved it it was awesome.
I was sad when i sold it.

Oh good luck with the scan tomorrow Azzrenae, I hope they see a membrane it will be so much safer for bubs.

I have layby'd the Valco Ion, mainly because it was sooo light but still seemed quite strong. I have also bought a second hand off roader for use at home as we have acreage and it will come in handy taking them for walks or just down to the veggie patch, it's a babylove one I think they go for $500 new, but I got this one for $200 and it looks hardly used. It is far too heavy to get in and out of the car so will stay at home. We only need to buy a car seat now, we were given one by a friend, which is great, so just need to get another to match.

AFM I'm feeling really heavy and tired, I'm not making it past 9.30pm these days. Everything takes for ever, I have to roll out of bed, sleeping is challenging. Oh and my hormones have gone haywire!! One minute I'm a stark raving psycho and the next I feel so ashamed I'm balling my eyes out!! Jeeze the womans body is just sooo complicated, I just hope it doesn't go on after the bubs are born the last thing I need is postnatal depression! Apart from that the pregnancy is going really well, bubs growing nice and evenly, my Glucose tolerance test came back normal and my blood pressure is good.

I paid $950 for my valco used it 6 times and sold it for $600

[Kezzabird]

OMG why didn't you use it?

[azzrenae]

Hi ladies had my scan today and it was great they are still there hehe It took a while but she did find a membrane im so happy.

Kezzabird thas so funny your hormones are playing havick with you. Aren't friends great we have alot of hand me downs which is really going to help, anything free is a bonus. How many times do you get up at night to go to the toilet? that would be a pain to keep rolling out of bed every time

Kristi Im so sorry I didn't see your post earlier, I was in the same boat as you before today I am 13 weeks now and had a scan today and they found a membrane. Try to stay positive I know its hard, if you had your scan at 7-8 weeks it might of been to soon to see. Once you see them again all your worrying just disappears. How are you feeling?

[MBP_Mum]

OMG why didn't you use it?

I brought it when we moved, so i could take all three boys out with me, i used it 6 times and then realized i don't need it any more, It sat for about 3mths before i sold it, i wished i brought that one first time around.

Conngrats on finding the membrane azzrenae

[Kezzabird]

Kristi- I didn't see your post either!! Dunno what happened there, maybe a glitch or something. I was told I had mono mono twins to begin with too, it was only on my second scan I think around 10 weeks that they saw a very feint membrane. My first scan was about 6 weeks, so was too early to detect. I'm afraid I don't know the ins and outs of the procedures if they do turn out to be mono mono, but best of luck with it hun, hopefully they will be able to see a membrane anyway.

Azzrenae- yay on the good scan and yay for the membrane!! The second trimester is a breeze, you may get a bit of back ache but nothing too bad. I had loads of energy, but try not to over do it or you will pay the price in the evening! You will also find that the bladder calms down a bit and your not taking as many trips to the loo.

MBP- jeeze what a bugger with the buggy!! How old are your twins by the way? I just read back and noticed your name is Jennifer, that's one of the names we picked for one of the twins

AFM- I am most uncomfortable, my skin is soooo tight on my belly, last night twin B decided she was going to sit across the top of my belly and push all my organs up into my chest cavity, I thought I was having a flaming heart attack!!! Talk about painful. And yes the bladder thing has come back sometimes I'm up twice in the night to go pee, and sometimes find it difficult to get back to sleep. Still not long now, I've made it to 29 weeks YAY!!!
