@FfoxRedN omg that's absolutely incredible news!!! I'm so happy for you - got absolutely everything crossed for you. Don't be nervous about twins, they will be best buds 💕 just try and take each day as it comes - how far along are you now?

bringmearainbow · 04/04/2023 09:55

@FfoxRedN omg that's amazing! Your well within your rights to be nervous anyone would be lovely without the added extras you have to deal with❤️ you got this just take each day at a time. what are the next steps? Will they scan you again? Xxx

FfoxRedN · 04/04/2023 09:47

Scans gone well. Although I'm now terrified as it's twins. They don't run in my family, I can't help but think it's just another hurdle.
Nervous doesn't quite cut it.

TheBirdintheCave · 03/04/2023 23:18

@bunnykins123 Yup :)

Also, 10lbs! 😱 My son was 6lbs9 and he still tore me asunder 😂

@bunnykins123 🙈🙈 second babies and boys are bigger..hope the section will be booked again 🤞🙈 that's an incredible weight though..well done 😊

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 22:31

@bunnykins123 wow 10 lbs! Not gonna lie that scares me a little 😂 8 was enough for me

bunnykins123 · 03/04/2023 22:23

@MrsJGrealish haha yep. 10lbs of yumminess. Probably why I didn't progress past 8cm though as my body was just like
'Nope' 😂

@LuckyMoonstone good point, didn't think about the scar! I do agree with you, I have scanxiety so hate a scans so not sure I necessarily want more.

@TheBirdintheCave sounds promising 🤞 are you still using the fertilily?

MrsJGrealish · 03/04/2023 20:05

@TheBirdintheCave mine was early this month. Like 3 days which was how it used to be. Happy to see it😊

TheBirdintheCave · 03/04/2023 19:59

CM was watery today so we've started the every other day dtd. It would be brilliant if it comes earlier this cycle.

@MrsJGrealish haha no it’s ok! I had a private scan with DS at about 26 weeks and the scan pics were rubbish, he hardly fit on the screen 😂 so not hoping for any great pictures at 32 weeks

MrsJGrealish · 03/04/2023 18:06

@LuckyMoonstone actually really sorry if I panicked you there. I'm Northern Ireland and this was years ago. They did it to check amniotic fluid but you can't see much of baby. With DS2 I got a lovely pic of his bits 🙈😂

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 17:36

@MrsJGrealish I’ve never known any of my friends with babies to have had scans after 20 weeks. I did always think it was so weird that you get to 20 weeks and then that’s it for the whole second half of your pregnancy

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 17:35

@bunnykins123 on one hand it will be lovely to see baby every week, but eventually you’ll be like fgs I’ve got to go in AGAIN 😂 I’m guessing they want to see growth over 2 weeks and kinda guess how big the baby will be and whether that might have any impact on my CS scar?

MrsJGrealish · 03/04/2023 16:36

@bunnykins123 was your DD 10lbs😳?

bunnykins123 · 03/04/2023 16:27

@LuckyMoonstone I never had any additional scans with DD past 20 weeks but with this one I will be having monthly scans from
28 weeks as DD was 10lbs (yep!) the midwife told me that all women get one now at 36 weeks irrespective of issues etc. I'm not sure if that helps or is relevant to you?

MrsJGrealish · 03/04/2023 15:20

It was a routine thing then. My friend was 2 days apart from me and she had the scan too but they found her baby wasn't well..too much amniotic fluid ☹️ I don't know what they do know. Maybe one day I'll find out 🤷‍♀️

MrsJGrealish · 03/04/2023 15:13

@LuckyMoonstone I got a growth scan with all mine at 32 weeks? Like 15 years ago now

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 14:18

@Indianna2006 yeah that does make sense :)

Indianna2006 · 03/04/2023 14:12

@LuckyMoonstone extra scans is nice for reassurance. But yes odd so close together. Maybe to get an idea of weight too?

As I think if you’d like vbac they don’t like ppl to go too far over etc if previous c section due to possible scar rupture.
Depending on baby size perhaps.
my friends hoping for a vbac after a elective c section for breach baby. They’re inducing her just after 37 weeks tho to avoid issues. But may be baby size as well. As I thought that seemed early? But what do I know 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ So she’s like doing opposite to me. She wants vaginal and I absolutely DO NOT want vaginal again 🙈🙈

@MrsJGrealish I’ll deffo try relax feel like I’m hosting a million kid play dates tho 😂

@bunnykins123 deffo ready for her to come out. But also will 100% miss my bump as I won’t do it again. Just wish my pelvic pain wasn’t so bad but almost there. And all worth it 🥰🥰

Sooo happy as well spring suddenly seems like it’s arrived doesn’t it ☀️💐 lovely weather where we are.

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 14:11

@bringmearainbow well that seems to be the main reason, that’s what he asked me about first, the CS. Thyroid he was happy to just up to 100mg straight off the bat but he didn’t say anything about it affecting the baby. And I don’t see how 30 odd week scans relate to previous early miscarriages! So yeah maybe it’s so check me physically as well.

bringmearainbow · 03/04/2023 13:54

@LuckyMoonstone oh I didn't realise it was because of a previous CS I wonder if they want to check something to do with previous scar tissue and stretching rather than the baby 🤔 who knows probably some weird guideline that makes zero sense but at least it's 2 extra peeks 🙊

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 13:33

@bringmearainbow that’s what I thought! I don’t see what my previous CS has got to go with growth though or why that would need checking 🤷‍♀️ well we’ll see.
It has gone fast but then I remember I’m not even half way yet 😭

bringmearainbow · 03/04/2023 13:24

@LuckyMoonstone does seem a bit odd as I didn't think they could get that clear a picture later on as they are so big maybe they are checking growth 🤔 can't believe you're almost at 20 weeks only seems like the other day you were posting your tests 🙈

LuckyMoonstone · 03/04/2023 13:19

@bringmearainbow I don’t know why at that particular gestation. Oh and they are actually at 32 and 34 weeks so I don’t know why so close together!

bringmearainbow · 03/04/2023 13:04

@LuckyMoonstone extra scans are always nice 😍
