Hi,
Was rushed to hospital on Monday as I started to bleed. They pumped me with Antibiotics for the past 3 days as I have an infection. Well I feel much better now.
Babies are great, lots of work.
Oh Cathie, that sounds awful, I hope that everything slears up quickly for you.
ATryingtime-Bring on those babies soon for you. Hope your BP stays stable for you.
Sorry to tired for personals.
Had a false alarm yesterday. Got cleared in at hospital to go home, but had continuing BH for another 6 hrs after that. Growth scan showed baby boy at 4pd 3oz and baby girl at 3pd 11oz, so BIG babies onboard. Had the scan at 30 5/7 gest. Have an OB appointment tomorrow.
Ob appointment went well. Babies doing well. My stretch marks are splitting (OUCH!) nothing I can do about it. Low blood pressure, which is why I have been feeling icky. I have my c/s booked for the 20 Nov. So something to look forward to. I am 2nd on the list, so I shouldnt have to wait too long.
Cathie - Hope you are feeling much better. Glad to hear the babies are going well.
Helen - Glad to hear things are travelling smoothly for you too, and now you have a date to count down to.
Well my BP is not much better, in fact they have had to double my meds as the first round didn't bring it down at all. I have until next Wednesday for these two to arrive on their own, or I will be induced. Had another growth scan today and they are both around the 2.7kg or 6lb mark. I am just really hoping that I can manage to get started on my own and not need to be induced. Either way I have less than a week to go.
Hope everyone else is well.

Shell-Gosh that is awful that your BP is still high and that they have had to double your medication. I hope all goes well. Less than a week! How EXCITING! Sending you heaps of calming labour vibes for you. I hope everything goes smoothly and well for you.
Hi girls,
How's everyone going?
Well the twins are going really well, but I'm not really enjoying it much as it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much work. One crys and than the other one crys, the 2 year old is getting into the cupboards pulling everything out. Hope everything gets bettter.
Cathie - congratulations! Sorry you're having a rough time so far. It gets better, I promise!
Helen - youch on the stretch marks. you poor thing. Carrying twins is certainly an uncomfortable experience! Wait till you see what it's done to your skin after they're born! EEEp!
Shell - Fingers crossed you go into labour on your own. Can you ask your dr or midwife to do a stretch and sweep and go for a good walk (or painful, huffing, puffing waddle!)? With all that weight on your cervix, a little encouragement might be all you need. Good luck!
Helen - Sorry to hear about the stretch marks, they must really hurt.
Cathie - Glad to hear that you are feeling a little better, sorry to hear that the twins are sooooooo much work.....I'm sure I'll find out all about it very soon.
Hannah - Thanks for the words of encouragement.
I have actually managed to get them to hold the induction, at least for a day or two. I have an appointment tomorrow and we will have a big discussion then and see where that leaves us. MY BP has been fairly stable since the meds were doubled, and I would really like these two to be able to choose their own birthday if possible. Having said that I also want everyone to be well, so I'll see what comes out of tomorrows discussions and take it from there. Either way I am amazed to have made it to almost 38 weeks!
Take care ladies and twinnies

Thanks for all the well wishes. Well after having my appointment today we have decided to go ahead with an induction at 8am tomorrow morning. I have told them that I just want my waters broken and a couple of hours to see if that helps before I want anything else, I'm still hoping to go tonight on my own, but not holding my breath, either way I guess as long as the babies and I are ok, thats all that matters in the end.
Best of luck to everyone here and I'll see you on the other side
