    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.

    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 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?

    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!

    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.

    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.
