10wks pg with twins need some advice

Azz good luck hunny, I hope it all goes well for you.

Argon I thought it was a bit strange when you said they were born 7/7 :rolleyes: I understand how confused you get though, it was like I was in some sort of dream world and wasn't on this planet!! Yes we had to make sure ours were'nt going past 4 hourly feeds too due to low birth weights, but once they get past 3kgs it's not so critical.
It was about 5 nights ago, I had my doubts that they were waking because they were hungry so I experimented. When one of them woke up and started crying I didn't go into to her and let her cry for a while, after 5 mins she went back to sleep and we didn't hear a peep out of them all night until the next morning! And they've done the same since. We have a nice calming routine at around 7.30pm it's bath time, they get a nice relaxing bath with some lavender oil. Then they get fed in our bedroom, as they associate being fed in the bedroom, with night feeds and off to bed they go. They sometimes wake in the night, but we leave them and they soon go back to sleep on their own. It's important to teach your babies to settle on their own, to make your life easier and keep your sanity intact. It does them no harm to have a bit of a cry as long as they aren't in pain, have full tummies and clean bottoms. You can usually tell when your baby is distressed, then it's ok to give them a comforting cuddle. Usually my two have that I'm gonna cry but I'm too tired to give it my all sort of cry when they are tired, those are the times when they can be left to settle themselves.
Anyway I have lots to catch up on so have to go now.
Bella your doing a fab job hunny, I hope you have many more weeks of baking.:D

You wouldn't believe it my c-section got cancelled there are no more incubators left in the nursery a lady gave birth to triplets lastnight how can I be mad about that. My OB goes on holidays on saturday so she has re-booked me in on tuesday the 13th over a week away. My Dad changed his flight to saturday so he could see the boys but looks like he is going to miss them.
I have a doppler scan tomorrow to check how they are going.

Oh Azz you must be a little dissapointed but also a little relieved. I think i would be going very crazy by now! So if you get to the 12th how far along will you be? As long as the bubs stay happy they are better off in you than in NICU! What an emotional rollacoaster.

Take care and pop in and let us know how your scan goes today.

xxBella

Hey all,

Azz - how annoying. It's a strange system where such decisions can be made based on factors such as NICU beds, but that's how it is. When my OB decided to go forward with delivering mine one of her reasons was that there were two beds inthe NICU available and she didn't want to wait a few more days and then have them not available. At the time I thought it was a bad way to make such decisions but in retrospect if my little girl had had to be transferred to another hospital it would have been a lot harder on all of us. (Also, in the end it was best they were delivered when they were anyway because my blood platelets dropped so low the evening after I delivered that if we'd waited another day I would have had to have a ceasarean under a general instead of an epidural.) So I'm sure it's all for the best, and it will give your boys a chance to get a little bit bigger too.

Kezza - very impressive. Once mine get over 3kg we'll start to stretch them a bit overnight, but at the moment my little one is still only about 2kg. My hubby is still off work for another month so it would be great to have nights a bit more settled by the time he goes back - that's my goal. The girls are fairly good a self settling, so hopefully that will bode well.

Bella - hope you're doing ok holding in there. I remember how uncomfortable I was in the evenings. You know, I think I'm actually getting more sleep now they are here, even with the four hourly feeds, because I was struggling to sleep at the end and was waking up, I kid you not, 10-12 times during the night to pee!

My little girl has taken a bit of a turn for the worse with her feeding in the last week. When we started her on the breast in hospital she was a champion, attaching so well. Now she seems to be stuggling. She kind of smacks her lips too much and doesn't attach properly so she gets no milk and then she comes off and we have to try again. My personal theory is that the last two days in the NICU, when they moved her from breast+tube to breast+bottle, had led to nipple confusion. I'm not an expert of course but I can't explain the change any other way. So I'm avoiding giving her anything except the breast for a bit to see whether things can improve. Feeding the girls at the same time isn't too hard when they are attaching ok, but when I need to fiddle around with one, I can't do it properly without elbowing the other in the face!!!

Anway, off to give babies a bath. Sorry for the long post!!

Argon xx

Argon - Were your girls taken straight to NICU after the c-sec and how long until you could get out of bed to go and see them? At my classes they have said that "usually" you don't get up for 24hrs after a c-sec but i'm not waiting that long to see my babies!

xxBella

Hi ladies,

Argon I hope your little one starts feeding properly I think that your theory sounds right it makes sence I hope she puts on a bit more weight. I had a little giggle when I read elbowing the other one in the face I can't imagine how hard it must be to deal with the extra body attached to you it must look so cute. I am so uncomfortable at the moment esp my hips and back I also get alot of braxton hicks Im waking up 3-4 times at night to go to the toilet im lucky I have a bathroom in my room so I dont have to go far.

Bella I felt like I was so ready for it all to happen then to be told I have to wait another week was like a big slap in the face. BUT I am over it now another week in my tummy gives then a better chance and I know its for the best if the little one is doing ok in there. I am stil here with you at least for another week and a bit.
Have you finished packing your hossy bag don't forget you camera and some spare batteries I for got mine when I had DD so annoying:lol: Take something for you to suck on as in jelly beans of barley sugar lollies during or after you deliver as you proberly wont want to eat anything big afterwards they helped me get abit of energy back afterwards.

AFM had my doppler scan today everythig looks good to me they are very active babies. My OB has told me I will be 34 weeks when my ceaserean is booked in I can go back to the private hospital if I wanted to, I think I will as the carparking is free and the nursery there is on the same floor as the maternity ward and your visitor can see the babies through the window where as at this hospital the nursery is locked behind doors and is on a different floor and the parking cost $12 for a day pass which will make it quite expensive when I have to visit them everyday when I leave.

Oh - what a pain, but there are postives at least - with getting to transfer to the hospital you want. And here's hoping that at 34 weeks, you'll be home with them much sooner!

Oh Azz you poor thing, you are being mucked about something rotten. It's hard to be cross about the triplets taking up the space though, after all they are here already and the best incubator for your babies is in your tum, fingers crossed they stay until the 13th.

Argon sounds like you are doing a fab job breast feeding your babies, I did bottle and breast for 3 weeks, until it was just too much, if they weren't feeding from me, I was expressing. It was exhausting, so just did less breast and more bottles towards the 3rd week, then just expressed until I dried up. For me bottle feeding is easier especially having a 5 year old that goes to kindy and also has demands. At least I gave them a good start in life for 3 weeks, that is more than I managed for my son and he is healthy as, hardly ever sick. :)

ooooh Kezza I just looked at your facebook as saw the photo of your beautiful girls, they are so cute.

I went out for brunch this morning it was great and the weather was beautiful I think my doctors are feeling sorry for me.:lol:

If you;re on facebook too pop me a friend request :-) That's nice that they let you out for brunch. The weather has just started to warm up here at last, we've had soooo much rain this winter and spring it's unbeleivable. My poor veggie patch is totally water logged.

:hug:not long now azz thinking of you hope you can get some sleep hun .your doing great :clap:
have loved following your journey xoxox

Good morning twin mummies and mummies-to-be!

Had to get up at 545 this morning as the boys were hungry :shakehead::shakehead:!!!!

Kezza - how did you sleep the girls in the very begining? W e think we want to put them pretty much straigth in their cots but i am wondering now if we should put them in one cot together initially?

Azza - yay out for lunch!!! Not long now - are you changing back to the private hospital?

Hello to everyone.

AFM - not much news - i have been so tired the past few days - had a hormonal emotional day on Friday - spent the day in and out of bed had a few crys but hey i'm sure there is more to come!!! My back was really hurting yesterday so had to take some panadol which is unusual for me - anyway DH has taken a sickie today so i might go and crawl back into bed and try and have a lie in with him - might not get many more!!

xxBella

Hi all,

Thanks Kezza - I'm trying hard with the breastfeeding, but it is hard. Like you, I'm just happy I've been able to give them a good start. Every extra day I manage to continue from this point on is just a bonus. I've been trying to twin feed the girls but keeping them in sync is proving hard. I'm thinking I may have to start to be more flexible about it. By all accounts it should get easier soon, because they should attach more and more easily as they get older, and they should have shorter feed times too (making separate feeding maybe more of an option). Anyway, it's new challenges every day so I'm never bored at least! How are you finding bottle feeding them? I sometimes wonder if that would be even harder, the times that we've given the girls bottles of expressed milk it is all just as time consuming.

Bella - it's true, I couldn't get out of bed after the ceasarean for about 24 hours. I had an IV drip in, the epidural line in (they keep it in so you can self administer pain relief) and a catheter in, so there was just no way I could have gotten out of bed any sooner. Then for about two days I could only go down there in a wheelchair because I was too weak so someone had to come down with me.

After the babies were born I got a very very quick glimpse of each of them. It is cold in theatre and they were ultra rugged-up so definitely no time for holding them or anything. They went straight to intensive care and Dad went with them. I went to recovery and was there maybe an hour or an hour and a half. I felt pretty out of it and so was less distressed about seeing them than I thought I'd be. What was good though was that after I came out of recovery they wheeled my bed into intensive care so I could see my little girl. (Her sister had gone up to the ward with Dad and was there waiting for me.) It was hard to see her and not be able to hold her (her temperature was not stable enough for her to come out) but I'm glad I got the chance since it was a while till I could see her again.

I think you need to be prepared that you might not be able to see your babies, or if you do it might only be from a hospital bed. But do ask if they can wheel you by them after recovery. It helped me that my husband was around and he went down to see her about five times that first night so I felt she was at least feeling loved during her first night. All you can do is concentrate on getting some rest and getting stronger so you'll be in the best shape possible when you can visit. And it did also help me to concentrate on expressing as much colostrum as I could for her.

Good afternoon,

Well I have some news on the 6th October my 2 little boys were born Harper weighing 2160g (4lb12oz) at 9.41pm and Cody weighing 1460g (3lb2oz) at 9.42pm They are both doing really well they didn't need any oxygon. It was great to hear them screaming their heads off when they came out. They are both in the nursery in incubators Harper is doing well they are thinking of putting him in an open cot in a couple of days and Cody just needs to put on weight. They are so beautiful.

On Monday I started to get really itchy there is a name for it but I can remember tit had something to do with my liver also had a scan on Tuesday and the doppler flow for Cody was not good so they booked me in Tuesday night for a c-section. It happened so quickly I haven't had time to do anything.

I will try and pop back in

Thanks my twinny mummies

:bluecheer::bluecheer: you clever girl azz way to go i just love there names .

Hope your recovering well and hope the boys are staying strong and growing. I can't wait for more updates but i understand you are a little busy he he he. Take care xxxxx

AFM - i had scan and appt today - fluid around babies and blood flow through cords are perfect and the consultant doing the scan said they are looking great BUT there is still growth discrepancy twin 1 - my chubby baby was 1700g making him in the 70th percentile and twin 2 was 1200g (has only put on 200g) putting him in 30th percentile so we are looking at induction planned for 36 weeks! I am happy and excited to finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

Anyway i'm off to bed will check in tom - stay in touch girls!


xxBella

:clap: not long now bella how exciting hun

Hi i'm new to this site I haven't got twins but I have been pregnant with quads but lost them at 29 weeks after being punched in the stomach but i now have seven very beautiful children whoes name are Amarantha 7, Richard 5, Arizona 4, William 3, Anastrianna 2, Scott 1 and George who is six weeks old i found that my 1st trimester was hard because i was consently sick and losing alot of weight 2nd trimester was fine but the 3rd got sick again but then got assulted and lost my babies because the person who hit me hit me that hard it burst all four placenters i was also wondering does anybody know how to start a topic.

Ladies, hello!!!!


Azz, congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful names!!! And glad they are doing so well. Sounds like you had cholestasis - poor thing!!! But at least your little darlings are ok.

Sorry this will be short as I am whacked at the moment!! But after just over four weeks in nicu we finally brought hamish and lachie home this week. I am ecstatic and exhausted all at once, and still the happiest mama getting around.

Big love to all of you, thinking if you often
jen xx

Jen - great to hear your home now!

Hi to everyone sorry am going to keep this short...

How am i going to cope another 6 weeks i am sooooo uncomfortable! I know i'm whinging but back is killing me. If i walk or do much during the day i get awful pelvic pressure but if i sit/lie around all day i get stiff and really sore - i feel like i can't win! Have also been getting BH which have been quite uncomfortable. I went to the hydro pool today so am hoping that might help if i try to go each day and i have booked a pregnancy massage for Thur so if it's good then maybe i'll try to go weekly.

Any tips welcome!!!!!!

Azza hope the boys are doing well.

xxxBella

Good Evening ladies,

Bella I soooooo feel for you it is so it is so hard to get around from now on I wished I could have 4 baths a day while I was in hossy and sore pelvic floor ouch. I think you are doing everything you can now to get through it a massage and hydro pool sound fantistic. Im glad your boys are doing well 200g between the 2 isnt to bad. Try and keep you feet up while you can, my feet looks like ballons now and it is impossible for me to put them up now. I will keep popping to check up on you.

Jen yah they are out that is fantastic no more going to the hossy everyday.

Bug6 that is a terrible thing to have happen to you im so sorry to hear that welcome to this thread.

AFM Thanks for your congrats. They boys are doing great they have both moved to the last room before they come home the paed is thinking they may come home in the next 1-2 weeks depending on how they breastfeed they have already past their birth weight. I am still trying to get my milk supply up it taking it time but I will keep trying.

Hope everyone is doing well and I will keep popping in.

Great to hear from you azz. Glad to hear the boys are doing well. Take care of yourself during this difficult time - are you at home?

AFM - off for my pregnancy massage today - god i hope it helps! 5 weeks and 1 day to go he he!!!!

xxBella

Hi twin mummies and mummies to be,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Bella, Yay to know a date for a planned induction, I am hoping to get to 36 weeks too. I hope you are tracking along ok. I can't imagine how you are feeling with your back, so many things to look forward to 'not'. The hydro pool sounds great, and same with the pregnancy massage.

Azz, congrats again, so glad to hear all is going well with your boys, and 1 - 2 weeks will fly by until you can bring them home. Just curious, how long does it normally take for your milk to come in? So do you supplement with formula until then? Are you getting colostrum? I am really keen to give breastfeeding a good go and have been trying to read all I can.

Jen, woo hoo, so great to hear you have the boys home. Now the fun begins, hope it is all going well and you are resting when you can.

Bug, I am so sorry to hear your story, welcome to BB and I hope you can find the support you need here.

Argon, have read your posts and am learning lots from you. It might sound a little weird but I am trying not to think too much about post birth, just going into this with some positive expectations, and will deal with what ever comes my way. I am so keen to breastfeed but don't want to put too much pressure on myself. Am thinking about joining the ABA, has anyone done that?

Kezzabird, hope you are going well too. Will spend some time to catch up with where you are at.

Hi Ausgirl, Hi everyone else.

AFM, I am feeling really good, have lots of movement now, which only started about a week ago. I must admit I was feeling a little nervous about not feeling anything sooner, for some reason I thought with twins it might happen sooner. They are really making up for lost time, there is a party in my belly for two at the moment.

Has anyone joined their multiple birth association? I joined the Gold Coast branch about a month ago but am having all sorts of issues getting in touch with them or getting anyone to call me back. I am hoping to do their new parents intro night and to meet some other twin mums.

DH are working on renovating the house, we are hoping to put it on the market after New Year, I am a little worried about the timing and possibly moving but will have to wait and see what happens. I am so excited we have almost finished the nursery, just waiting on some wall decals and a new 2 seater lounge and we are done, it is lovely, even has a pretty chandelier on a dimmer switch with very low light. Though considering we may sell, there is a possibility that we won't even get to put the girls in, and will have to duplicate where ever we end up.

I have been googling lots about weight gain, so far I have put on 6kgs and am happy with that, am aiming for a minimum of 15kgs, which I am sure will come, and am definitely eating to my hearts content :p.

So... nothing too exciting for me, just plodding along. Belly rubs to all xx

Hello lovely ladies,

Well it's very quiet in here - ha ha - you all must be so busy with your beautiful twins!!!

I will continue to post so if your lurking do try to jump on in!!!!!!

BDT - Don't get to focused on weight gain (number) some very good advice i received once from Jen i think!!! It s not a good prediction of baby growth. I myself have finally hit 20kg and my ob is very happy with that - they don't weigh me ever and it was me who mentioned it they don't care about my weight gain just the gains of my boys!!!

Azz - hope the boys are doing great - hows the feeding going?

Hello to Jen, argon, kezza and ausgirl.

AFM - my back has been feeling so much better since my massage next one booked for thur so can't wait! I have finally almost almost finished packing - god it's an ordeal!!! It's just so hard to know what to take as everything is unknown - what will they fit into, will they go to SCN, will i need to top up bottle feed or not?????? Anyway i am packing everything plus the kitchen sink and i'm sure down the track i will laugh at how insignificant worrying about it was!!!
Feeling pretty good - have scan and appt on Friday and am hoping they will book a date for my induction.

Take care everyone and give all my cyber neices and nephews lots of kisses!!!!!!

xxBella

Hello ladies CONGRATS to Azz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry not been on here for ages, but yes life is bloody busy with twinnys!!

I have to share this book with all you lovely ladies it's bloody brilliant and I wish I found it before I had the girls but it's still very relevant now. It's called Save our Sleep by Tizzie Hall, I cannot praise this book enough it's a life saver. Lucky for us we already had the girls going through the night before I bought this book, but as you may or may not know babies sometimes fall back to waking up in the night and this book explains how to get them back to their routine. It also has a twin section and has info on weaning too, bloody fantastic, it all makes a lot of sense. Tizzie Hall is a baby whisperer and she explains how to listen to your baby for certain cries and to read their body language etc and has suggested schedules for sleeping, feeding and play time, and you can adjust them to your specific needs, for example if you have older children and you need to do the school run as I do. I bought the book yesterday and I couldn't put it down, it's just brilliant it has all the info that other baby books leave out or are a bit foggy with.

Bella glad to hear that you are still ticking along nicely, don't stress too much over the bag thing, as long as the babies have vests and sleep suits and LOTS of nappies and wipes all you need to worry about it what you need to take for yourself, the hospital should provide formula if they need it, unless of course you want them to go onto a specific formula. I would make sure you pack some lavender oil, it's great for relaxing you and babies and also for washing your sore bits as it has antibacterial and healing properties too, great stuff.

Anyway I have washing to hang out AGAIN!!! So I'd better be off, take care lovely ladies

Hello ladies,

Just a quick update - had scan and appt today - all great still some growth discordance but less than 2 weeks ago - fluid around each baby and cord blood flow perfect. Plan is still induction at 36weeks BUT twin 1 has dropped heaps and they have said i may not make it to induction and may go into labour naturally!!
I thought they may have dropped given the intense pelvic pressure i get in particular when walking!

Hope everyone is travelling along well. Take care.

xxBella

Hi everyone,

Bella I am doubling up but just wanted to say again great news re both bubs and glad it is all going well. I know re weight gain, I am in now way trying to minimise my food intake :redface: in fact DH is amazed at what I can pack away. Didn't I read somewhere that you get to a stage where the babies squish your stomach and you can't eat as much. Certainly hasn't happened to me yet lol. My midwife does weigh me every 4 weeks before my OB appointment but she is happy with the gain, and both bubs are perfect size wise so all is good.

Kezzabird, great to hear the book is good, I have it on hold/order from the local library and just waiting for my turn. Do you have any other recommendations for twin books. How are you two lovely girls going? We are having fun decorating the nursery, I have pink but haven't gone over the top so as to not overwhelm DH. I ended up getting him a second hand bugaboo nappy bag on ebay for $50, it is black and beige, very manly looking, he is happy with that :p.

Hi to everyone else. I have booked my antenatal class for week 28 and 29, I should be pretty safe with this yes? The midwife said that any earlier is too early, and if we have them before 34 weeks it all goes out the window anyway.

Has anyone joined their local multiple birth association? What about the ABA? Any thoughts?

Hi to everyone else, xx

Baby Dreamtime I take it you're expecting girls if you've painted the nursery Pink. I was thinking about putting the girls clothes that they have grown out of on Ebay, there are a lot of matching outfits all immaculate, was just wondering if you'd be interested in buying a job lot off me? I haven't sorted them all out yet, I will get around to it eventually! If you're interested PM me your email and I'll take photo's and send them to you, you can check them out before I put them on Ebay if you like.

As for the book, I'd buy your own copy if I were you, it's like a bible you will want to refer to it again and again. It has soooo much information, it's brill. I also have another good book called TWINS by Katrina Bowman and Louise Ryan, again you will want your own copy it's another one of those ones you'll want to refer to again and again. I read it over and over when I was pregnant, as I know how hungry for information you are especially when you are expecting twins.

I have joined the Tasmanian AMBA, they send you newsletters and info on all things multiple. You also get discounts at certain online stores. They usually have meetings or coffee mornings and Playgroups and such like, but I haven't managed to get to one yet. There was a coffee morning just this week, but was canceled due to illness, I was a bit disappointed as they only have it once a month.

The girls are doing great by the way, the first 3 months were mad, I thought I was going to go insane what with all the night feeds and tiredness and figuring out why they were crying etc etc. Plus Jennifer was born with a slight club foot and we had appointment after appointment and trying to get to them on time was really hard. But they don't cry as much now and are starting to do some babbling and smiling, it is really lovely and soooo special to have two little faces looking at you and smiling with big wide eyes:-)) I don't mind the comments made to me out in the street now, as I am not as stressed these days. But those first few months when you are knackered, drained and depressed and some smart ass says "oooh twins! I bet their hard work!" you really feel like punching them in the face!!! lol But you will find that out for yourselves anyway! But I can safely say to you, there is light at the end of the tunnel after those first few months are out of the way things get a lot better. I am enjoying my babies so much now, my precious little angels :-)

I hope everyone else is ok, thinking of you Azz and your precious little bundles, I hope things are going well for you and that you are being looked after.

Hi Kezzabird,
YES, we have two girls on the way, getting really excited about it. Thanks so much for the offer, would love it if you could email me with what you have. When you are ready, my email is marketingatoutrigger.com.au (it's my work email - I am on leave for 10 days from the 30th Oct - we are going to Fiji - yay).

Will take your advice re the books and get my own copies, thanks for that.

I joined the Gold Coast MBA a month or so ago, but their communication is not the best. Apparently they have a once a month new parent introduction night to talk about what it is like with multiples, next one is this coming Tue night but I have no information yet and will have to chase them again. Sigh :p.

So glad to hear the girls are going well, DH and I just can't wait, though have no illusions about how hard it is going to be, we are up for the challenge lol. My SIL just had triplets, so it has to be easier than that right? But that just means no complaining to my MIL about how hard it is :redface:.

Hope everyone else is well xx

OMG I don't even want to think about the work involved with Triplets, yay when they are over the first few months though, wow that must be mind blowing having 3 babies looking at you with smiley faces!! I do know that a lady has joined Tassie AMBA who is expecting triplets, but don't know how she's going yet. How old are they now? Have you been involved much with them? It would be good practice for you! Yay for Fiji!!! That is one of my regrets actually, not getting a holiday in before the bubs came you are very lucky.

Are you on Facebook? if so click on my Facebook Link on my signature and pop me a friend request, be sure to let me know who you are though. I have loads of pictures on there of the girls. Bugger can't seem to get smileys to work!!! Grrr Ok have made a note of your email, will make an effort to sort out the clothes this week.

Take it easy lemon squeezy!!

Hi Ladies,
whaoo everyone is so busy.

Bella im glad you have another pg twin mummy in here to play with (BDT) Im happy to hear your little boys are doing great I hope you make it to 36 weeks even f they have to go to SCN it wont be for long and you can get things sorted before you get home. Now a big tip for you straight after you have the boys or when you feel up to it ask your midwife to show you how to express or pop the boys on if you can, try and express 3-4 hourly the sooner you start the easier it will be for you and your bubs. A breastfeeding pillow makes it alot easier. Have you joine the AMBA yet, they are great I have hired a double breast pump through them. I think thats all I have. I hope you are relaxing and your sleep isn't getting interrupted by sore hips and back. I cant believe you are 32 weeks you are nearly there.

BDT if you have a c-section you milk may take a little longer to come in 4-5 days if you babies a premmie then that could prolong it as well but once you have had you girls getexpressing as soon as. first you may have to hand express then use a pump once your milk has come in. Isn't it fun when you start your nursery hope your not don't to much and dont forget to relax.

Kezza I was thinking of getting that book. I have sent you a friend request for facebook I haven'tpopped any photos of the boys on there yet but I wil soon.

AFM I am now in a parent unit not sure if you have heard of it but it is were parents can go if their babies are doig well in SCN and you can take them home early. They show you how to tube feed and CPR for 2 days and then you take them home and a midwife comes to your house everyday for 3 days to weigh them and make sure you are doing then right thing then they come every 3 days to change their tubes. The more breasfeeds we can do the sooner their tubes come out. I can't wait for DD to meet them she still isn't alowed in the nursery. This Sunday is the day can't wait.

I will pop back in once I get settled and check on my belly belly twin mummies

Hi lovely twin mummies,

Just a quick one from me today, promise I will be back with more but I am off for 10 nights in Fiji tomorrow (lucky me! lol) and should really be getting all this work done rather than be on BB.

Azz, so glad to hear all is going well and that you will have the chance to bring them home earlier.

Kezzabird, your girls are just divine. Yes, triplets, who would have thought. She fell pregnant first month off the pill, first month trying. They were born in July so almost 4 months now, they are super cute, but hard work, unfortunately they live in Canberra so we have only had a few days with them on a quick visit. My MIL has moved down to live with them so she has lots of help.

Bella, how are you tracking, hope all is well, will catch up when I am back.

Hi to everyone else xx

Hi twin mummies and mums to be!

Well this thread has certainly slowed :lol: I am lurking every other day so please if you have 2min drop in and tell me what your up to and leave any little tips!!!!!

Azz - you should be home now - i hope everything is going well and the boys are growing nicely.

BDT - hope your having fun in the sun in Fiji - so jel!

AFM - Still waiting:rolleyes::rolleyes:. Had my baby shower last weekend which was wonderful but very tiring! But since then i had a burst of energy and have done all the finishing touches on the nursery bags are fully packed and the house is clean!! Although the last 2 days have me tired again ive only just got up after going back to bed at 10am for another nap this morning!!!!
About to take the dog for a small walk - i am just doing what i need to now as they have said they are happy for bubs to come anytime. So at most i have 3 weeks but we will see - i'm really hoping i go into labour naturally but it's also doing my head in as i read into every sign - waiting waiting!!! Scan Wednesday and appt Friday this week.

Take care everyone and i'll keep you all posted.

Bella, glad to hear all is going well with the bubs - not long to go now!

Hey Bella, I still check to see who's posted now that it's slowed down a little, it's easier to keep up with now! Glad to hear you are doing well, I hope you got some nice pressies at your baby shower:) It sounds like your all set now, all you need is two babies and you're all sorted:D

Nothing much to report here, the girls are doing fantastic sleeping from 7pm to 7am, so can't grumble at that! They are smiling and babbling it's just sooo special to have two of them doing it at the same time. I'm just in the middle of doing dinner so better get back to it!

Hope everyone else is ok.

Much love

Hi Ladies,

Im still lurking to but everytime I get ready to post, someone is hungry or needs a cuddle.

Bella hope you get some great pressies. whaoo 33w3d my gosh you must be feeling it by now I had the boys at 33w4d. You are doing so well I can't beleive you want to take the dog for a walk I didn't want to walk any where at that stage. Hows your boys sizes going.
I still think about you and wonder how you are going. Not long now

HI kezza I got your little note glad to hear your girls are doing great they are so cute.

AFM Boys are doing great their tubes came out on friday they look so cute. We are getting into a routine my DH has gone back to work today so trying to do everything by myself so far so good. They 2 rockers have come in handy especially around feeding time. I have also decided to do bottle feeding now as my milk supply is low even with medication.

Well best be off I will keep popping in

Hi everyone,

Just popping in quickly - i had my scan today growth diff 500g twin 1 was 2.4 and twin 2 was 1.9 we have to wait for our appt with the doc on Friday but as twin 2 seems to be tapering i wouldn't be suprised if they want to get them out since i will have reached 34weeks - but we will wait and see.

Will update on Friday

Take care

xxbella
