My first scan was at 6wks....two bubbles with a flicker of a heartbeat. One week later had pain, then started to bleed. Was scanned again, and my uterus was filled with blood. Carried on bleeding for a few more days, then scanned at eight weeks, to find one heartbeat.

oh my

They could be identical I don't know

Perhaps if you asked to see your notes

It would probably say

what the sac/s were like

IYSWIM

I am sorry...but what does...IYSWIM mean?

The notes idea sounds worth a thought

Thankyou kanga.

Just out of interest tho....how was your DT1 as a baby. Max was very grumpy and cranky. I had also suffered a car accident at 32wks pregnant with him, and he then came at 36wks, and I often thought he was cranky because of that. One of my best friends tho had twins a year ago, and she thinks Max is grumpy (he still is even now), because he misses his twin. I never thought of that till she said it, and have wondered. But don't know of anyone else who has lost a twin. I hope you don't mind me asking that?

Interesting thought

DS {DT2} maybe does feel that now aged nearly 10 years.

He was a happy baby IIRC

One of DH friends is a Surviving twin but was not told and he says he always felt something was wrong and missing

He was upset today when he found out about Bubbles

When he is talking about his twin I will ask him how he feels

How does Max start to talk about brother?

Is he happy or angry or sad?

You bring tears to my eye's

Thankyou for your kind words, especially about your son. I am sorry for not paying attention to your earlier post on your son being DT2.

I am going to wish you a good night now. It is nearly midnight for me...chatting to you has been lovely, and I am up later than intended..lol.

I hope to be able to chat to you tomorrow tho. Where do you come from? Am I right in thinking you are not from England?

Max come over very happy, if a little confused, telling me he has seen his 'other brother', but he won't play properly

Report
psychomum5 · 22/02/2005 23:52

he was 2 the first time, and we were out with friends. To say it threw me would be an understatement!!!

Now tho, he is often found trying to play football with someone, and I ask who. He tells me "m other brother", then off he goes. Writing this down now tho, I wonder why I haven't told him. There seem to be plenty of oppertunity's I seem to have missed

I mean DS was upset about Bubble

not DH friend

Also...if he see's another blond boy while out, he occassionally says something. Max himself is VERY blond. His younger brother is also blond, but will only ever point out boys his own age or size when he does mention it. Significant????

I am in England too

DS did have an imaginary friend when we went to USA when he was 5

It was the name of a child that I childminded 2 days a week

He came everywhere and had to do everything we did etc

So perhaps it was his twin he was thinking about
his twin

Yes I think he knows already

so it would be lovely for him to know about Charlie Bubble John

Then he can call him Charlie rather than just his brother

Sounds as tho he may have been.

Well, seeing as time is going so fast..(why oh why does time fly so while on here? One of lifes mysteries....lol), I really should be off too bed. Got 4 schoolkiddies to sort in the morning, a lively 2yr old to entertain, and DD2 birthday to arrange for thursday. Phew....busy busy!

Soooo...lovely to meet and chat, and I hope to do this again very soon.
Bug hugs.....xxxxxxx
