Ok all you pregnant Lady's here's your chance to shout out to the world your pregnant :D

Im 9 and a bit weeks and looking like 14 weeks, this is our second munchkin and I am enjoying this pregnancy a lot more than the last.

please only post if you are pregnant this is somewhere for just us pregnant ladys to post our whinges

I'm not pregnant, but my tummy is supporting you in your pregnancy CBW. Johnny asked me yesterday if we were going to have a baby!! http://www.pimpmycom.com/myspace/gifs/emoticons/rolleye0018.gif

So, although I am not in the pregnant role, I am in the supportive role. LOL

Well I'm 14 weeks pregnant with twins and I'm not having as much fun as you are.

Well I'm 14 weeks pregnant with twins and I'm not having as much fun as you are.

Sorry to hear that Tamed chin up hunny xx

That's cool CBW,just make sure you enjoy your food and eat for those of us who still can't keep much food down!

I was like that with millie hunn I just couldn't eat, this time my word I can't stop eating lol

Do you mind if I live vicariously through you then? You could tell me all the good things that you're eating and I can pretend that I'm the one enjoying them!

curlybenswife agrees: LOL you name it I'm eating it ill be like a flipping elephant

That's what I like to hear! Details lady, details.

Im pregnant with number 2, I got knocked back a bit at the dr today... could change at the next ultrasound though.. I hate when they go changing my due dates around. Sitting at 13, almost 14 weeks right now... I look about 18 weeks along, lol.

I just found out I was pregnant yesterday, but haven't gone to the doctor yet. Since pregnancy counts from your last period that would put me at 4 weeks. My first pregnancy so I don't know what to expect but I am excited about it.

Live it up. I love being pregnant, despite the way I gripe while I am, when IM not pregnant, I long to be... lol.

I must say I am enjoying all the extra rights and benefits that come with pregnancy around here!

I must say I am enjoying all the extra rights and benefits that come with pregnancy around here!

Oh yes it sure has its plus's even here in the uk :D

P.s glad you found me Al xx

It gets even better when you get bigger and people start giving up their seats and stuff... lol.. although I hate everyone touching my belly.

CBW.. I guess I was talking too much baby over in the other area? Its hard when its fresh on my mind...

Nah I just thought it might be cool to see how many other lovely ladys are pregnant as well as us Al :D

CBW, I am in the UK and although I've had my doubts about this country before, I enjoying it now. I love the fact that I can decide when I want to work and how many hours I want to do and still get full pay! I also love the fact that everyone tip toes around me, its so wonderful!

Al, I've decided to make myself a t-shirt when I'm bigger saying something along the lines of "don't touch my stomach, I bite!"

Cool tamed that's great to hear another fellow brit we are down near southampton, how are you enjoying the wind and the rain??

I just like the fact our prescriptions are free for two years lol

Uhg... IM still jealous about the free prescrips thing... I hate paying 30 bucks for a five day prescription.

I know there are a lot of pregnant folks out there... wonder where they all dashed off to...

Free dental too, I'm thinking of getting my teeth straightened and prob bleached just to get them back for the money they've taken from me! Southhampton eh? We're miles apart, I'm in essex.

OK guys I'm almost 8 weeks and I fill HUGE already this is my third with my youngest not two yet, but anyway while I'm in the mood I feel like venting I am so hungry ALL the time and when I do get nausaes I still want to eat what's up with that.

OH yeah and I'm going crazy because I have the strongest feeling that I'm having twins with my first two it never crossed my mind but this time around I have had the strongest feeling since I found out I was pregnant.

I thought that too just because I was so big so fast, but an ultrasound has proven otherwise. I heard the symptoms are much worse with twins, I wouldn't know personally though. I was pretty sick there for a while, but that stopped a week or two ago, and now I eat everything.

Not that far tamed I could have been in the outer hebradees lol

CBW, I'm around the Upminster side of essex but you're right you could be further!
Crystal, some say that some women just know that they are having twins, I had no idea I was having twins until I saw the scan as everything (nausea and the works) were within normal parameters. The other twin almost eluded the sonographer by hiding under the gas! Yet I know many women with single pregnancies who's symptoms have been much worse than mine, it all depends really. I must say I am curious as to how big I will get, I've seen pictures of others and they scare me sometimes!

I'm 35 weeks, I start my leave on Friday, so I'm on cloud 9!

I am 20 weeks pregnant. I find out the sex of the baby tomorrow! I am so hyped! :)

I'm 17w4d with my first. It is so wonderful! I started showing around 8 weeks, and am huge now! I measured with toilet paper today and am 10 squares around! I started feeling my little one a bit past 15 weeks, so it has been very eventfull. Hopefully we will know on July 16 if it is a boy or girl! (I'm feeling boy)

Crystal, where are you from?

Eleven weeks!

Don't worry becca, it will go by quickly! For me the first 10-12 weeks went by so slowly. Now it's just flying by! I was very surprised to feel baby move so early, especially with this being my first. The first movements for me felt like my uterus rolled in my belly. The next I didn't feel until about 4 days later and it felt like a few quick pokes from the inside. Now it's mostly flutters, and I still only feel it every couple of days. Enjoy it while you can. If you have morning sickness it should be going away soon. Eventually we will both be getting kicked hard enough and often enough we will wish for a little break! Being pregnant is so awesome!

Im 8 weeks... I have two gestational sacs but unfortunately one one developed a fetus with a heartbeat... so I am very happy... this is my 3rd. Its been 8 years since my last child... so its very exciting:)

Hehehehehehe I have my nuchal fold scan on the 16th :D

hehehehehehe i have my nuchal fold scan on the 16th :D

I had that done the other day, it was so nerve racking. I had to go through it twice, I did not like that at all. You looking forward to yours?

Im not bothered hunn to be honest had it when I was having millie and I know that my specialist will be doing it

I wish I had your attitude when I was going in but to make matters worse I had to look at all these numbers when she was done. Normally, it wouldn't have taken me so long to realise that they were odds but for some (pregnancy) reason, I just sat there wondering what the hell I was looking at and why no one was explaining it to me. Its done now, I'm glad it over with. How's your mood today CBW? Eating anything good?

Guess I'm just lucky as millie was 8 weeks prem I will get extra care as I'm classed as high risk I'm just not going to stress over it there's no point I know what's coming and what will probably happen.
Ive just been sick for the first time ever lol I choked on a drink and bam lol
Not going to stop me eating though I'm just about to get my mocca and cornflakes :D

How about you?? How you feeling this morning

Looks like we both have something in common then, we're both considered high risk. I do like all the extra attention though, makes me feel special.

Mmmmnnnn, cornflakes, what's that like again?
Sorry to hear about your puking though.

I've just done my fair share of throwing up, not too bad so far so here's hoping! I'm trying to eat a banana which is not going so well, looks like its just me and my water again until I get really hungry.

You will be fine be possitive, I can't remember is this your first pregnancy?

Oh goodness, just wait till you lay down to go to sleep and your belly is still bouncing around... lol. That's the best...

I never had the testing for downs and what not... never felt the need I guess. Its all optional here.

It optional here to al but they recommend it when you get a certain age lol

Oh. Lol... sorry I didn't mean that in any way...

LOL its OK your way to young to even worry about that kind of thing lol ;)

Im not that far off from you though... I though we had this discussion already...

You will be fine be possitive, i can't remember is this your first pregnancy??

I think my better half has got enough positivity for the both of us (the perks of having Asperger's I suppose!) he doesn't see the point in negativity unless there is a reason to be. I'm really trying to be as positive but it is my first pregnancy. I must admit though, I worried much less when I thought there was only one, but as soon as I found out otherwise, panic set in and it hasn't quite disappeared yet. I'm not stressed though, just you know, more maternal.

only 29 days left..


Hey Al, aren't there only 23 or so days left now?

Yes, uhh... 23 I think... I don't know they moved the opening day up a couple days for the movie, and I keep forgetting to update my signature... lol.

Hehe... I just checked the official countdown on Mugglenet.com... yes, 23 days for the book, 13 for the movie..

Yawn I just woke up... im hungry I just had a chinese menu shoved through the door guess what ill be having for dinner lol

I'm from Georgia Automansgirl,

Yawn i just woke up.....im hungry i just had a chinese menu shoved through the door guess what ill be having for dinner lol

I love it when they do that... then I get a good excuse to order in.. lol.:p

Im stuffing my face right now lol

Hehe generals tso chicken and lomain??

Im stuffing my face right now lol
Mmmmmnnn food, can I have some. According to the doctors, I'm dehydrated and starving! Somebody please feed me!

yes, uhh...23 I think...i dunno they moved the opening day up a couple days for the movie, and I keep forgetting to update my signature...lol.

hehe...i just checked the official countdown on Mugglenet.com... yes, 23 days for the book, 13 for the movie..

I know the book was definitely July 20th, just wasn't too sure about the movie. Book comes out the same day the schools here break up for summer so it's a bit of good and bad news but I guess I can handle it. Some of us have been waiting for what seems like a lifetime for this book. It was almost as bad as the wait for Lemony Snicket's last book, that was torture!

I have been in hell... it seemed so long... even though it really hasn't been... man, you get it a day earlier... you must be in europe... we get the book at 12:01 am July 21... Ill be in line at borders.. already have it pre-ordered. The movie originally was coming out on the 13, a week before the book, but now they are releasing it on Wednesday,the 11...

Congratulations all you wonderfully pregnant people... Just had a comment on the harry potter thing... I can't wait till I can get to both the book and the movie. I can't wait to see the pink toad... lol. And the book is killing me the wait is so long... Ok now that I got that out of my system. I wish you all very happy healthy pregnancies. I am glad I'm not you in this heat. I was pregnant last year with twins so don't think I haven't been through the heat... lol. I am just glad it's not me this year...

Oh hunn you must try and eat or your going to end up being on holiday in the maternity ward where they will put you on a drip and make you eat. Poor poor tamed.

Yeah bekah876 I had orange chicken, roast pork and chicken fried rice with bbq sauce lol

Al I'm pre ordered too did it with my old manager the other day another 1st addition to go in the harry bookends lol

I do feel for you tamed I really do my friend linz has just had the worst pregnancy ever she was ill till the end, just remember what ever you eat and you bring up your bodys still getting some goodness and that's better than none.
Big big hugs xxxx

Thanks CBW, you have been more helpful than you know. I know things are bad with twins just didn't realise that they were going to be this bad. Apparently, I'm still doing OK for my condition I just hoped I would start enjoying it more by now. I am hopeful though.

If there is anything at all you fancey you eat it girl anythings better than nowt just you make sure that man of yours looks after you ;)

You know, I used to be a big fan of M&S deserts before all of this and I always thought I could have them while preggers- big mistake! Hubby's been so great though, feel sorry for him sometimes he's been all over the place these past few weeks! I would love to eat anything but by the time I smell it, I'm off.

Here's to you hopefully regaining that apetite xxxxxxx I'm off to try and sleep xxxx

Sleep tight.

It's a BOY! :)

Congrats babie! That's so exciting!

Crystal, I was just wondering cause you look just like someone I know from Indiana. (Who also has 2 children)

Just to add my two cents about the Harry Potter topic... my husband decided he wants to read to the baby, and all we had that were good children's books were the Harry Potter series for my step son. He's been reading a chapter a night to the baby. We're just about through reading the first book. We've seen the movies, but didn't realize how incredible the books are!

Ah the books rock there's so much more to them your imagination runs riot :D

Hey, where is everybody?

Im here tamed only had 2 hours sleep last night spent most of the day snoozing while millie destroyed the house lol

How you feeling today hunny?

Uh oh, watch out... the boys get their Mamma's hearts... congrats!

Im here tamed only had 2 hours sleep last night spent most of the day snoozing while millie destroyed the house lol

How you feeling today hunny??

I'm okay so far, drinking juices mainly and sleeping too.
So how comes you didn't get much sleep last night? I like millie, it sounds like what I would have done while my mother was asleep!

It's a BOY! :)
Congratulations!

I'm okay so far, drinking juices mainly and sleeping too.
So how comes you didn't get much sleep last night? I like millie, it sounds like what I would have done while my mother was asleep!

She's great but then I would say that I'm her mum lol we walked up to the little post office this afternoon the little old lady up there get so excited when she see's her all the customers get ignored and she plays with her lol.
If you can keep juices down get hubby to go to sainsburys and buy some of the fruit smoothys they have there rammed with goodies.

I'm sure she is great otherwise the lady at the post office wouldn't enjoy playing with her for so long. There are some kids you can't do that with, they're like little monsters or something they go into the shops and destroy things!
Hubby's already eleven steps ahead of you CBW, he's already gone to pick more up for me. Him and his parents get excited when I keep something down, so they just go out and buy tons of them! I've got mangoes everywhere I look at the moment because I wanted them last week! Aren't I lucky?

Hehehehehehe yum keep it up I lived on fanta and cheese and onion crisps for the first 4 months with millie lol and sauasage rolls and jam doughnuts and that was it.

Mmm I am enjoying a strawberry milkshake witl bananna swirls right now... mmmmm

Hi Lady's how are you all doing??

Not doing too bad, just recovering from some follicular pain, another week off work it seems woo hoo! How you doing?

Im fine hunn ready for a nap :D nothing new there huh

How about an update lady's??

I have my 20 week scan on Monday woo hoo

Well I made it to the 16 th week mark now and the nausea is starting to go away some.
Now I'm worried because I haven't felt the baby move yet and this is my third

Crystal - I wouldn't worry too much, my friend didn't fel her second until 20 weeks...

I am happily moving along at nearly 23 weeks, I found out its another boy two weeks ago and his name is Jack...

CBW, I am in the UK and although I've had my doubts about this country before, I enjoying it now. I love the fact that I can decide when I want to work and how many hours I want to do and still get full pay! I also love the fact that everyone tip toes around me, its so wonderful!

Al, I've decided to make myself a t-shirt when I'm bigger saying something along the lines of "don't touch my stomach, I bite!"

Congrats to you all.

Tamed.. how about "BEWARE OF TWINS" (Twice the Kick!)

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_2_138.gif

It worries me because my doctor said that since this is my third I should feel something by now which I don't with my second I felt her very early.

Have they found the heart beat yet? Do you have a tilted uterus?

Not nescisarily hunny I have days where I feel nothing but its definitely moving I can hear it on the doppler going crazy

Yes we have had three ultrasounds all showing the heartbeat and every doctors visit we here it just don't feel the movement and deffently know the feeling

You know my friend them is due christmas day and she can't feel anything either basically her sack is to thick the guy that did the scan last week was amazed she couldn't feel baby as it was really going some.

As long as they keep finding the heartbeat, I wouldn't be too concerened... has it been a while since your last? I know there were times when I went in as well, and we could hear the movements on the doppler and I never felt them... if you hear the swishing staticky noise on the doppler... thats movement... sometimes the doctors don't mention that is what it is... you should be having a 20 week scan here soon, I'm sure all is fine.

Congrats to you all.

Tamed.. how about "BEWARE OF TWINS" (Twice the Kick!)

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_2_138.gif

You know I think I may have to get one of those! I know its nobody's fault but it really gets to me when people (even some drs) say 'is the baby kicking?', I find myself constantly trying not to yell 'BABIES, BABIES! And yes THEY do' Somehow I feel that the other twin is being left out but I guess its just one of those maternal instinct things or something right?
Apart from that though, I'm doing OK thanks Cherry. Getting bigger by the day, pain iis making it difficult to walk so I'm not sure if I should go back to work.
CBW, time goes by quickly doesn't it?

Ah tamed my dear are you back to eating normaly now?

I am actually thanks for asking. Between you and me though, this eating business is a bit too much for my liking and I cannot seem to keep up, these hourly trips to the kitchen and the fridge can be a bit taxing for someone who's used to going there only twice a day or so, but I am grateful that I only crave real food and by that I mean the healthy stuff, still not keen on the sweet stuff!
They are moving around a lot more in there now and I think one of them has discovered that kicking (or punching) my ribs gets my attention!
How you doing? Still eating? Never did get to see the finished product of your kitchen do you still have the pics?

Blimey kitchen pics um there here somewhere ill have a look lol, I'm still eating but not as much I'm having a yucky few weeks been sick and stuff and now my daughters is ill too if it doesn't rain it pours here lol.
Im glad to hear your able to eat now though hunn you really were suffering.

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, did the doctors say what it is or is it just one of those pregnancy things? If it makes you feel any better, I still get nauseated in the mornings. Millie sounds like a trooper though, fingers crossed she'll be running around again in no time. Take it easy though and get plenty of rest.

Rest with a 2 year old in the house lol those to words don't go together giggle, I just keep getting cold after cold and a pee infection too and of course the anti b's gave me thrush I've just had enough of generally feeling yuck ah well it will pass I just need a good nights sleep that's a laugh too hehehehe what the hells sleep not a hope when she is ill that's for sure just wait you have all this to come giggle.

I can't even fathom two at once.. wow!

Heheheheheheehe its going to be weird Al

Im starting to get more and more nervous about it too, I never thought I would, but every once and a while, I stop and it hits me... lol..

No I know I keep thinking how the hell am I going to watch her and feed the new one silly things like that...

IM worried about him waking the baby up, and our normal nighttime and meal routines getting readjusted and what not...

I think its going to take a few weeks of adjustment getting baby into a routine and trying our hardest not to adjust millie or connors the new baby has to fit into there's its only fair.

I agree... Im so afraid he is going to feel like he's being replaced... I always hear about jealousy issues, and he's been our baby for so long.. he'll be 4 1/2 by the time Jack comes along.

It will be fine as I say baby has to fit in with them and then its including them in absolutely everything it will be fine we just have to work it all the right way no pressents for baby without a pressent for connor or millie its got to be fair I'm going to buy millie a tiny tears for when baby arrives then she will have a baby of her own.

I thought about arranging for some gift for Connor at the hospital... Oh I think she will love the baby... you can get her a little stroller to push her around in... giggle... I miss little girls.

I'm in the same boat my youngest will turn two Sept 17 then we'll have another one a few months later.
I wonder how I am going to do it, I'm already sleep deprived.

LOL yeah but crystal you already have two don't you so you must have a little more knowledge than us??

Yea, I'm used to only one... a very independent one at that.

Yeah I hear you Al millie is certainly of her own mind lol

Yeah but the oldest is 6 and goes to school, and a lot more laid back and less demanding then his sister.
She owns everyone in this house and when this baby comes I'm not to sure how well it will sit with her.

Ooooooooo strong minded to the extreme then don't envy you that one at all the only problem ill have with millie will be sharing her daddy lol she goes crackers if he even hugs me lol

That's how Chloe is, she thinks she owns me which I guess she pretty much does but she has some major changes coming.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I write this as she comes to me covered in marker.

OMG can I really handle this...

LOL get the sun cream out it removes it a treat ;) you can cope of course you can we all can its just our hormones at the moment saying aaaaaarrrrggggggghhhhhh

LOL
Lets hope its just the hormones...

Giggle well hell if it isn't every women in the world is screwed lol

Lol...

Well its true lol hell we would be in a very misserable world if it weren't can you imagine what it would be like with millions of over hormonal women and cowering men lol

LOL That's true and a scary thought.

Isn't it just blimey but hell there wouldn't be any war the women would scare the morons too much lol

Congratulations! Welcome to our little hormonal b!tchy club :D

Congratulations leesh!
CBW, Al and Crystal, you guys are really starting to scare me. If you guys have at least one kid already and still worry about how you will adjust with the new baby, how should I feel? These two are my first and I have no idea what's in store for me. The further along I go, the more I realise that I haven't got a clue. Everyone around me is giving me a list of things I should have done but I don't even know where to begin! The only thing I've bought so far is a buggy and that's because there was a sale on at the time. I'm constantly bombarded with people telling me how much worse things will be with twins. My hubby (bless him) is a trooper but I think reality is getting to him too even if he won't admit it. Well enough of my rant, how's everyone else?

Tamed you will be fine two at once won't be an awfull lot different to one just another mouth to feed and another bum and at least you won't get full on tantrums and screaming because you aren't giving the other attention our little ones can talk and tell us there disapproval only to well that's where our problem lays.
But having twins will be a breeze for you because you know no different have you asked your midwife if there is anyone local you can talk to that has twins??

I have a couple of friends with twins and they seemed to have coped fine, although I think they were more clued up than I am. They say the same thing that you've just said, I guess I just didn't think that we would have so little time to prepare the house and now I'm so tired, I can barely walk and feel very useless.
About your little ones, I can understand your concerns. I've seen too many times parents over compensating that the older one continues to get all the attention and the new baby just gets the basics. But I'm sure you guys would balance it out and won't get bullied by either one.

I'm quite a hard cow bag my mother in law says I'm harsh but then I don't want millie to be a brat like her cousin georgie as that is one vile little cow.
No mother knows what to do hunn we learn as we go I'm sure you actually have more knowledge than you realise don't let it bother you it does come very naturally.
As for having lots to do well hey that's what internet shopings for and make that hubby and the family do stuff that's what they are there for ;)

Lol... yes, we are all nervous. I come from a whole family of kids, and I was still scared out of my mind when I was pregnant with Connor. You will do just fine. We have these wonderful instincts that just kick in when time comes.

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have a scheduled c-section for Sept 7! I'm having a girl.

Congrats Williams925 ill be having a section be it elective or emergancy I'm far to posh to push lol (there are other reasons but you really don't need to know)

im 38 weeks pregnant and have a scheduled c-section for Sept 7!! I'm having a girl.

Congratulations to you. Not long now before you hold her in your arms.

I felt the need to chime in here... Tamed, twins are truly not as hard as everyone thinks they are. Don't go out and buy two cribs they sleep a lot better if they are in bed with one another. It's the only way they know. Make sure that you do your feedings with them very close to the same time. And the biggest thing is to keep a schedule with them. My twins just turned one three days ago. They sleep 12 hrs at night with one to two 2hr naps a day. Keeping a schedule is going to keep you sane. You can trust me on that one. Feel free to send me a message if you want to. I do have some experience in the area of twins.

See told you tamed, myth is the one to ask those crazy questions too ;)

See told you tamed, myth is the one to ask those crazy questions too ;)

Thanks CBW, you know you've being my rock so far with this pregnancy and I pray you find such good favours in every aspect of your life.
By the by, how did your scan go? Is everything OK with the bambino and you? How's millie doing? Has she recovered?

Everythings fine so far hunn it's a wee lad its been a long long day I certainly won't be late to bed tonight, millie seems to be on the mend going to probably take her back to the dr on Wednesday just to get her ear re checked as they did ask me to take her back.
How you feeling??

We call that placenta brain, cause your so busy worrying about what the placenta is doing for the baby you just forget everything else... lol. Not to mention I haven't been around as much as I usually am. I've been gutting the house we bought and getting it put back together how I want it... lol. I'll post picks of the finished product. I'm going to be sitting a second set of twins after we move that are a month younger than mine. My hubby thinks I'm insane. I figure they need me and my kids need other kids to play with so why not where I can be there and supervise them.

*edit*
Oh and just to let you know that when your at your wits end and they are screaming at the top of their lungs it's OK to put them in a safe place and let them cry a little. It's better than letting your emotions get to them cause they will know when your frustrated and unhappy and it will upset them. I still have to give myself a time out some days *especially during their more vocal teething*.

Placenta brain... I like that! Good luck with the house gutting although I must say that I admire you for finding time to do all these things. You're like supermum or something. I don't think you're insane wanting to babysit another set of twins, I can understand you perfectly. I was saying to my hubby the other day that I wouldn't mind another set of twins after these ones come out. Don't ask me why but even with all the stuff I've gone through with this pregnancy, I would gladly do it again. Ok, now I'm just talking plain stupid... ignore me.
I have to thank you once again for your reassuring words, my life seems less chaotic now, you're like a refreshing hot bath at the end of a hectic day.

Everythings fine so far hunn its a wee lad its been a long long day i certainly wont be late to bed tonight, millie seems to be on the mend gonna probably take her back to the dr on wednesday just to get her ear re checked as they did ask me to take her back.
How you feeling???

Woo Hoo! A wee little lad at least you can put your mind at ease a little more now that you know things are OK with him. I'm very happy for you though, take it easy and get plenty of r & r.
I'm good, still got this pain that makes it painnfully difficult to walk. Docs think it may be SPD but I'll see what the midwives say on thurs.
Good to hear that millie's doing OK too.

Is the pain right on you pelvic bone hun? Can move slightly to one side or the other?

The pain is actually quite difficult to describe but I'll try to put it into words. Its more around my pubic bone, walking is agonising and moving from side to side is a nightmare, even opening my legs too wide is painful. Do you know of something similar?

I went through the same type of pain all throughout my pregnancy with the twins. I was told that it was my sons head resting on my pubic bone and my daughters weight on his was causing the pain. I also had a lot of round ligament pain. It really didn't get too unbearable until around six months though. I had to sit at work because of it. The dr put me on moderate bed rest at five months though because I was high risk and working was causing me to swell up so bad.

Congrats on the little man cbw. I think I missed that the first time around.

Cheers myth, yeah tamed be prepared for mw to say no more work for you lol I stopped work at 24 weeks and was on bed rest can't happen this time lol.

You will be fine listen to what the mw says when you see her this week its what they are there for ;)

Hey guys just wanted to see how everyone was feeling today. (Besides BIG and uncomfortable)
Ok guys I'm 17 weeks now and still haven't felt this baby move any suggestions?

Oh bless you crystal the more you worry about it the less likely you will be to feel the monstar having the party, try laying down on your back and drinking a VERY cold drink.

How are you all feeling today??

There is a party near my placenta... apparantly... lol...

Crystal, I know its unnerving... also try something sugary.. and lay on your back or side.

OK guys I'm going to try the things you suggest and we'll see what happens.
Last night my husband and I were being naughty and when I laid down I THINK I felt the baby change sides one half of my stomach was hard and the other soft so that put we at a little more ease.

You will be fine hunn xxx

I'm kind of late to join this party... been a while since I've been on! But I am 29 weeks and 2 days... (according to the latest due date change that is). I've had a dream-pregnancy... never got sick... but I have had a ton of heartburn, lol. And now that I'm HUGE... and it's HOT... I'm starting to get uncomfortable... but it's still better than some of what I've read... sorry it's been so rough ladies! Love and hugs to you all!! Just thought I'd throw myself in the party... **smiles & hugs**


:) Kris

Hehehehehee congrats Kris xx

Tamed, Al where are you lady's how is everything going??

IM here, just busy. Still cooking at 28 weeks tomorrow. Im starting to feel pretty miserable... baby flipped down and now its hard to walk. LOL. Contractions have really eased up though. They only happen about three times a day now. :)

How you feeling CBW? Theo staying busy? How far along are you now, have you met your mark?

Im all right Al I was 24 weeks last Friday I won't be happy till I reach 28 see the specialist and he tells me I'm OK.
Other than that everything is OK I'm measuring to date and he is mega active witch is nice in the day but not so great at night lol.

Im glad to hear the contractions have eased hunn you don't want any of that happening just you keep those legs crossed lol.

Hey everyone, how are you?
Well we found out were having another little girl so that makes one boy two girls, now then men are out numbered. Hehehehe
I found out why I wasent feeling the baby move that much, turns out my placentia is anterior and not posteria along with a little previa but I'm opptimistic it will move like it did with my daughter.
Although I do feel her only when I lay down but never when I'm up and going.
Well hope you all are doing good.

Good... 28 weeks is not too far away, I'm sure you will make it all the way to 40. I just have to hold this sucker in to December 20 and Ill be happy-meet my 90 day mark at the new job and be able to take my FMLA leave. Ill be happier if he hangs in to Jan 1st when my short term disability kicks in. :)

Crystal - glad to hear things are well...

That's great news Crystal we did tell you baby was OK just being naughty start as they mean to go on huh ;)
Al it isn't long hunn just make sure you don't over do it entertaining :D

Its good to hear that everyone is doing great, there's not that long to go for us so if we hang in there just a little longer we should be fine.
CBW, glad to hear that Theo is doing well, how is big sister Millie? The last time I was here she had an ear infection has that all cleared up now?
Al, it's a releif to hear that you have the contractions under control and hopefully no more hospital visits until after you're ready for little Jack to come out.
I haven't been around in a while, I've got so much going on. I have Symphisis Pubis Pain for which I'm having physio every week. At one point the consultant was worried about Twin-To-Twin Transfusion syndrome because one twin is smaller than the other but they've now concluded that they've been like that since the beginning and there is nothing to worry about which is good news. I'm almost 29 weeks now, haven't been able to go back to work since the beginning of last month but we're house hunting so that's been keeping me active.

Good to hear from you Tamed I like to know how you are, spd sucks I know how that feels that's for sure I trust your getting rest too as well as house hunting ;)
Millie is still wobbly poor soul will be off balance for a while yet, my god our weather sucks today its as grey as a old cup of tea yucky.
Hugs to you hunny xxxx

You know I'm trying to get some rest but their kicks are getting quite powerful and its gets even worse sometimes when their dad plays with them and they get my bladder caught in the middle of their play. Fun and games eh?
Its actually raining where I am at the moment so now would be a good time to take a nap.
My love to Millie, hope she'll get better really soon. I hope you're getting enough food and rest too and taking things easy. X

I bet it hurts like hell one is bad enough two of them stretching and poking and kicking must be excrutiating you sure have my sympathy a friend of mine had triplets a few months back and got to 38 weeks she said it was hell.
Millie has just gone to bed and that's where I'm heading too right after neighbours ;)

I just found out Saturday that I am Pregnant. By my calculations I am 4 weeks and 2 days. I go to the Dr on the 25th!!

Congrats lulu!

I've been absolutely horrible today. Do weepy, I cried at dinner. Ive been so moody, and my poor hubby and son don't know what to think. I went to work tonight and haven't spoken to a soul. I hate days like today, I'm so depressed. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

I just found out Saturday that I am Pregnant. By my calculations I am 4 weeks and 2 days. I go to the Dr on the 25th!!!
Woo hoo! Congrats! How do you feel?

Hello! I'm Ashley & I'm currently 23 weeks & 2 days pregnant!. with a girl!:p

Congratulations Ashley & Lulu and good luck to you both. Al, hope you're feeling better.

How's you today tamed?

I'm fine CBW, just went for my anti-D jab my was it exciting (she says sarcastiscally!). Its getting very tiring to walk but I'm still getting the exercise I need from house hunting, you know I just wish that sometimes they wouldn't kick my bad ovary. How are you, Theo and Millie doing love? Are you getting enough rest?

Fed up I want a bloody holiday but I'm not allowed feeling really annoyed because we always have one of our birthdays in centre parcs and we aren't this year its just bleh plus I've just been sent a major money off code ggggrrrrrr lol
Other than that we are all fine started the 3.30 wake up though that will be it now till next June when theo is sleeping through lol

I know exactly how you feel CBW, I wanted to go to ireland for a long weekend just to relax (and for our anniversary) but couldn't and I'm still ticked off, I got offered discount price tickets too! I'm kind of over it now (well I try not to think about it that is) I just try to remember that this is all for a good cause! I'm sorry you cound't go, centre parcs always looks so good on TV. I don't envy your 3.30 wake ups though, so much for trying to rest before Theo comes along. I'm starting to see why being a mother is the most demanding job on earth and I can't believe I got suckered into it (just kidding!).

Hey guys went in for another ultrasound Friday and they said I still have the previa so it didn't move, they wee going to give me another month then check again.
How's everyone been doing?

Hiya crystal, Im fine I'm starting to want it all over though I have to admit only 14.5 weeks left though lol not that I'm counting ;)

Roll call here!! I'm FINALLY PREGGY!! Just got a positive test today, loud and clear! Yaaaaaay! I'm thrilled! You guys better watch out... I'm going to be full of questions I'm sure! Haha!! Yay again!

Congrats hunny good to hear your news

Congratulations love, hope this pregnancy goes very well for you!
Hey all how's things going?

Good tamed how's you?

Thank you very much CBW and tamed!! :)

Congrats!! Sorry I'm behind on checking in lately... lol. I'm nearly 31 weeks and counting... whew!

Thanks alk!! Yay, you don't have too much longer to go!

Nope AL is the most ahead of us I think I'm 27 weeks and looking 30 lol tamed is expecting twins I'm sure she is the only one with that honor too :D

Oh wow! How far along is tamed?

Blimey now your asking I think she is two weeks ahead of me I'm sure she will appear and tell you at some point though lol

Haha! You're the funniest CBW! I'm sure she will pop in at some point and give us the scoop!

Nope AL is the most ahead of us i think im 27 weeks and looking 30 lol tamed is expecting twins im sure she is the only one with that honor too :D
Actually, I think Automansgirl is ahead of me... and maybe babieface too... they are a few weeks ahead of me I believe

Sorry all, my laptop refused to connect to the net and I couldn't be arsed to leave my bed! I think alkalineangel and I are due around the same time. I'm 32 weeks now so not too long to go, I've got most of the stuff I'm going to need except for the cotbeds (apparently, there's a nationwide shortage, only in England!). I'm not ready for them to come out yet though even though I'm getting somewhat uncomfortable at night. What's bugging me the most is how these antenatal classes do not really do much for women with multiples but not to worry. How's everyone else doing?
Rank, how's the morning sickness? CBW, how's Millie doing now?

No morning sickness yet tamed :( Not too many symptoms; I wish I could have more so I could feel more pregnant!

Hi guys finally hit the 25 week mark last Wendesday. How's eveyone been feeling?
Congrats Rank on the pregnancy.
Welcome aboard.
Automansgirl had her baby last week, at 35 weeks he was still a good size, both of mine were only 5 14 and 18 incehs at 38 weeks.

Thanks cyrstalb!! I'm very excited and worried about every little thing! How are you doing?

Morning tamed me dear, I'm well millies well baby's fine had my 28 week consultant ap yesterday saw the little man and he is growing to schedule witch is a flipping relief he is pretty much the weight that millie was when she was born so that was rather mind blowing hearing that.
Rank you may not get morning sickness I didn't not with either of my pregnancys I just felt tierd and that's never changed lol.
Crystal good to hear your doing OK have you spoken to automansgirl??
Al are you still taking it easy?

No morning sickness yet tamed :( Not too many symptoms; I wish I could have more so I could feel more pregnant!

Careful what you wish for love, ask CBW I had the worst morning sickness after thinking that mine wasn't so bad for twins. I was worried that they were both still there until I got the full effect and had to enjoy what CBW was eating vicariously, that was hilarious! But don't worry about the symptoms they will come in their own time (and believe me they will) just enjoy the food for now.

Morning tamed me dear, im well millies well babys fine had my 28 week consultant ap yesterday saw the little man and he is growing to schedule witch is a flipping relief he is pretty much the weight that millie was when she was born so that was rather mind blowing hearing that.

That's such good news to hear that you are all doing well that's a great relief. I hope you're taking things easy as well and eating loads so that Theo can keep growing. I havve to start disgusting iron supplements because my levels are low and they are worried that I could loose too much blood during birth and all that business so I am having fun taking iron in syrup form because my body cannot handle the pill form. Great huh? I feel like a kid again. Still, not too long to go now, I've got a 'my first Christmas' bibs for them to wear and its so cute!

Oh gawd I bet that tastes absolutely rank I hate taking the normal vits as it is the taste of beef is just nasty lol

Crystal good to hear your doing ok have you spoken to automansgirl???
Al are you still taking it easy??

Yep, taking it pretty easy, still working and lazing around during the day. Connor is out of town this weekend with Grandma because Thomas is working out of town all weekend, and I needed a sitter while I worked tonight and tomorrow night... I plan on Christmas shopping tomorrow. Lol... may sound early, but I want it out of the way. :) otherwise doing well, have an appt. on Tuesday... hope things look well. Glad to hear Theo is being a good boy. :)

I was pretty pleased to Al to be honest I was as nervous as a loon about going.
Yeah I'm compiling christmas lists not got as far as buying millies the only one pretty much sorted to be honest. Ho hum its all good fun isn't it.

Oh gawd i bet that tastes absolutely rank i hate taking the normal vits as it is the taste of beef is just nasty lol

It does and I wish I didn't have to take it but I have got that long to go now so I just have to grin and bear it I suppose! Automansgirl's son is so cute though.

Hehehehehehe he does look rather yummy doesn't he :D

Im contemplating ringing my midwife my arms and hands hurt and keep getting pins and needles its driving me mad.

How's everyone else doing this morning?

CBW, its time to call the midwife love. They ask me about pins and needles as well I think it may be something to do with blood flow because even the physio asked me about it. Call them up, they are usually quite pleasant about people who ask questions, not sure what its like around your area. Let me know how it goes.

Im seeing her Friday morning no hurry

Ugh I have been suffering from pelvic congestion and contractions off and on today. Seeing the doctor tomorrow... im hoping my prenatal water arobics will help alleviate some pain tonight...

Oh my word you be telling him he isn't coming out just yet lol

We've had a discussion, he calms down after a bit... lol.. I did have to call the dr. and make sure she didn't want to bump the appt. up though... lol

Hehehehehehe boys huh I've just sat and ate a huge plate of pancakes with bannanas and home made toffee sauce I think I'm going to burst

Yum! I had a butterfinger milk shake for dinner last night... and some pizza rolls... lol. I have been stuffing myself with chicken salad the last few days.

Hehehehehe I just like food shame the food gives me raging ruddy indegestion tee hee
I just want these next 4 weeks to pass with no nasty surprises and ill be happy.

I have been eating tums more than anything. I so much as look at food and I have heartburn... I finally hit that point where I'm just tired of it all now... im ready to go back to normal.

i have been eating tums more than anything. I so much as look at food and i have heartburn...I finally hit that point where im just tired of it all now...im ready to go back to normal.

I hear you on that! I just cannot get used to all this eating every two hours its really tiring! CBW, did the midwife say that the pins and needles thing was normal then?

I asked my specialist on Thursday last week when I saw him he wasn't concerned.

i asked my specialist on thursday last week when i saw him he wasnt concerned.

Cool, now you can get back to eating!

Im going to burst giggle

Ooooooo I need somebodys help lol

Your not mithering you dafty they would rather you ask them and talk through what your feeling than not at all go one give her a ring.

Im gonna burst giggle

I'm quite sure that you won't burst mrs curlyben besides, I think Theo is very much enjoying the food. My two only like their food in small doses but every couple of hours!
Does anyone know where myth is? I need her input on a few things. Myth... Myth? Wherefore art thou Myth?

Myth is busy doing up her house send her a message hunn I'm sure she will come back to you .

Ugh... went to the doc yesterday, glucose test was fine, but found out I'm anemic again... woo hoo.. onto the joyous iron pills... now ill be uncomfortable and stopped up for the next 7 weeks. Lol...

At least that explains why I've been so tired lately...

Awww, Al, sorry sweet, but everything looked good otherwise! That is GREAT!

Oh heck Al you and tamed are both on your extra iron now giggle you will be like popye giggle take it easy hunn xxxxx

You too thanks!

Im seeing the midwife tomorrow for bloods lol she will take one look at my hands and give me a tone of exercises aren't I lucky

I am 34 weeks pregnant with my first. This is a first child for my boyfriend and myself we are expecting a beautiful girl and she is due December 21st. We live in Maine. I am 30 and he is 26

Congrats to you and welcome to the club!

Welcome aboard :)

How you doing today al?

Just got back from the midwife I have pregnancy induced cts I'm sooooo lucky lol

Hey cbw, what's pregnancy induced cts?

LOL carpel tunnel syndrome

Lol... I suffer from cts as it is.. sorry to hear that for you. Did she give you finger and wrist exercises and a brace? Im feeling OK. Have a vacation day today so I'm liking that... still tired, but hopefully the iron will helkp.

No if I want the brace's I have to buy them and I'm not paying 20 pounds a piece lol

Awww, sorry to hear that CBW...
In the US we have places besides the pharmacies to buy medical equipment and essentials like bandages, and braces... they are a whole lot cheaper! Maybe that is something you could consider? Sorry, I know it hurts and is so annoying.

20 pounds was the cheapest that's like 40 dollars that's so not happening 80 dollars for two mmmmmmm I don't think so somehow

Wow... that is a lot...
Hmmm, I will have to see what it is here... EBAY?

No difference in price there either I have hunted high and low and I can't find them any cheeper id got for say ten pounds but not twenty that's mental 40 quid is like food shopping for the week. Ah well guess I wait for it to get so bad I can't do anything at the moment they just seize while doing stuff and I have to straighten my fingers with my elbows lol

LOL... goodness girl... oh goodness!

Its funny I pick things up one minnute there in my hand and the next slap on the floor giggle and its getting me out of washing up :D

Your mind works in marvelous ways... I just love it!

Heck it means I can't hold the scourer pad for long as my fingers lock so very little of that is being done in the day ;)

Hey guys! Went to my first prenatal today and everything went well!! I got to see my little 2mm baby and it's heartbeat!! SOOOOO CUTE!

Good for you rank, I'm very happy for you. Seeing the heartbeat is always a thing of beauty don't you think? Well at least now you can be rest assured that you are truly PREGNANT! Good for you girl! I'm so happy for you.

Congrats. I also had a little u/s of my "alien baby" that early... lol. My do they change.

LOL yeah don't they just from chest bursters to ickle people lol I have 3 weeks till my next one

My oldest is having my first grand baby in April. Does Max count? I can't wait to hold him------
AND spoil him!

Aaaawwwwww bless you that sounds like your ready and waiting there hunn

Well I'm 6 weeks pregnant but don't feel any different yet
With my 1st I didn't have any signs until I was 9 weeks I'm slighty worried

CBw you poor thing, I didn't realise what you were going through. For some reason I kept forgetting to comment on your cts. So will it go away when Theo comes along? At least you have an extra excuse to not do much around the house!
melissa1, I wouldn't worry too much about not getting any symptoms, remember every pregnancy is different and you are not that far along so you could wake up one day with all the symptoms or you may be one of the lucky women whose worst symptom would be bigger breasts! Congratulations though and I wish you all the best with the pregnancy.

Ach ill live Tamed fingers crossed it does disappear I'm not good with people shoving things in my hands lol
How are the rest of you doing??

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you too. We're OK, one of the twins is growing at a single baby rate whereas the other is growing at the twin rate. Naturally, the registrars and consultants are running around to get me seen at the fetal medicine unit to make sure all is going well but other than that everything looks great. My stomach is getting lower but I hope these babies can hang in there for the three weeks at least. How's Theo doing? Doing any Christmas shopping this year, I'm using the babies as an excuse so I'm only going to be sending cards.

Sadly I won't get away with not shopping bens family is a nightmare to shop for, for the pure fact there's so many of them and they think I'm made of money mines easy we only buy for the kids but then there's only 5 of us on my side of the family his is there are 13 of them its wrong if you ask me that they all expect pressents it should just be the neices and nephews but hey ho must just be me thinking that christmas is for the kids.
Hey you have done very well keeping the wee ones safe and warm this long keep up the good work, I'm fine and theo is fine millie is just being millie lol nothing new there ;)

well im 6 weeks pregnant but dont feel any different yet
with my 1st i didnt have any signs until i was 9 weeks im slighty worried
Don't worry. In my first trimester, I didn't have the usual symptoms either.. I just knew I was pregnant and started taking vitamins and iron (didn't go to the doctor because I was not supposed to get pregnant due to heart problems, then in the 5th month, I went in and got scolded by him, but we both made it. I also did not have morning sickness - and neither did my daughter when she was pregnant - I guess that's just something that not every woman has.
I did get an aversion toward Tide laundry detergent and cooking hamburger meat - the smell irritated me. I did have a lot of heartburn in the 2d and 3rd trimesters though.
With my daughter, she had occasional heartburn, and tingling in her legs, but that was in the 2d trimester and got a little worse, but all in all she was fine.

The best way to get reassured so that you are more relaxed is to have an ultrasound done.

I wish all of you wonderful ladies happy and uneventful deliveries - well, as uneventful as possible - it does hurt a little.. ha.. ha.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_16.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000)

LOL won't hurt me Chery this ones coming out the sun roof ;)

CBW, you are too cute...

LOL wont hurt me Chery this ones coming out the sun roof ;)

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_19.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000) Now, that is cute... never heard of a C-section being called that before. I'm sure Jaime will enjoy telling the girls in her office about this new phrase.. Just remember not to bust them stitches laughing or lifting too much.

Been there got the t shirt ;) I know full well what I'm in for lol

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_17.gif Guess what, my mom told me I was a convertible conception..


http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_18.gif Wow, and I was a sunroof birth..

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_19.gif Oh yeah... I top that, I was both!

Tee hee Millie was born at 32 weeks to emergancy section and I don't have the patience to wait 40 hours to push this little man out so it will be a sun roof job for him as they say here I'm far to posh to push hunny ;)

I like the 'sun roof job' phrase as well. Hey, welcome back Chery! I missed your little smilies, how are you?
Just out of curiosity, do anyone know why I keep having period-like cramps. It started over the weekend and has been getting worse since, now it just feels like I'm going to be starting my period very very soon.

tee hee Millie was born at 32 weeks to emergancy section and i dont have the patience to wait 40 hours to push this little man out so it will be a sun roof job for him as they say here im far to posh to push hunny ;)

You do a good job at incubation and nourishing, so we all understand you dear. Give that boy a nice rub and a tickle for me, and millie a hug!

Posh is when a woman gets another woman to do all the work and take the end-product home... so that's not you - you just know and accept your limits.

Getting off the 'pregnant' subject.. how are the kittens and Ben?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_1_23.gif

Kitten is good he has a death wish mind you little monkey I swear he is on a mission to kill me he keeps running under my feet lol hard as I can't see my feet anymore ;) Ben is fine were having car trouble but hopefully it should be fixed tomorrow so he can go back to work :D
Are you OK??

Tamed, do the cramps go away when you lay down at all?

Edit:

Hi guys! How's things going?
