Thank u everyone, I'm 27 +4 today, I'll be happy to get past 30 weeks now.

My mum and dh have been fab but dh needs to go back to work as he doesn't get paid when off and my poor mum isn't feeling great.
Everyone has the the lurgie!

I know what you mean about trying to separate your times, I found that just before I did a feed I would get lunch/snack ready and drawings etc out this helped alot. But it so hard when you are tired and just put baby/babies down and u can't just chill out. That was with my older two but they are now at school.

But this time I'm not sure if it's gonna be harder or not? As she won't have jealous issues and still naps... Soon find out.

That really was such a nasty thing to say to you especially from your dad!!!! Strangers say things like that all the time to me!!!

X

dreamfeeder · 19/10/2011 21:21

Thanks guys, I'm feeling ok about it, I will make sure DD doesn't get left out. Strangers is better- when I tell people its twins and DD is 13 months they laugh in a not-nice way... but they are nothing to do wih me so I think 'so what?' I was upset by my dad, but he just dotes on DD, absolutely adores her (and she him) and I think he's just trying to look out for her in the wrong way..

Hooray katy, 27+4 sounds pretty good!! not so long to go... Well, once your mum recovers she'll not be the one carrying twins, so hopefully she'll be able to volunteer again then!

Sounds like you've got a good balance with your little ones and your DS BB3, you're making it sound do-able!! Grin

claireinmodena · 20/10/2011 09:20

Hello again

I've been having a few comments like your dad's too dreamfeeder, from friends who have had twins, or even one who has had a third baby and found it difficult (ha!). They all talk to me like I'm being naive or hiding my head in the sand...I'm actually very happy about this pregnancy (was very wanted and comes after having had breast cancer 4 years ago) and feeling very resentful towards people who are trying to spoil it for me...of course I know it's going to be hard work, but hearing it every day will not make it any easier and I'll deal with things when and as they come.

On a positive note, yesterday I met up with a friend who has 12 year old twin girls (monochorionic), who were born at 40 weeks, 3kg each, and were breastfed for 12 months! She had hardly any help (apart from someone helping with school run for her older child) and was very positive and encouraging! That made me feel much better!!

sorry to hear about your troubles katy, hope you feel better now.

on a more mundane note, can I ask everyone what twin buggy are you getting? I had my eyes set on Baby jogger city select, but then a friend of mine who's using it for baby+toddler, says she finds some of the positions awkward and there's not enough room for both...when one of the seats is reclined. Sorry if this has been done before, don't have much time to read through all the thread. Thanks for any advice and take care all of you. xx

BB3 · 20/10/2011 09:28

dream chances are dd will want to be involved with the babies anyway and help change and feed etc. You could maybe get her her own doll baby (if she likes them) to change and feed when you are doing the twins?

BB3 · 20/10/2011 09:33

Claire I have the bugaboo donkey which i love, it's absolutely brilliant and I'd definitely recommend it - we use it to put girls down in during the day as the carry cots are proper bed bases.

tigger has the city select and really likes it - I was going for that until I went and tried them all out and practically for me I couldn't get away with the length of having one in front of the other so decided to go with a side by side buggy. I also didnt love the carry cot positions but that was only a minor consideration xx

MersyMersy · 20/10/2011 11:01

Hi All,

Its been ages since I last logged on, I can see a lots been happening. I've had a look over everyones posts but I'll read them again properly (probably at 3 in the morning when I cant sleep!) later.

Congrats to the new ladies, I remember how you are feeling now. When I think back to the early stages it makes me realise just how quickly this pregnancy is going. In terms of searching for info, I know what you mean I was exactly the same and now I think I've gone the other way. I've completley given up the information search and now I just go with the flow. Dont know if that makes me a bad mum to be? I think once you start getting more medical attention (after 20wk scan for me) it kind of takes that anxiety away. It did for me.

I got my buggy at the weekend, it the Baby jogger City mini. I dont know what its like yet but it was within our price range and it folds in two really easily and neatly which I thought was pretty nifty considering I'll be transporting it in a Mini!

BB3 how is Ayse-Rose now?

xkatyx - So sorry to hear you've been poorly. How are you feeling now?

Sounds like there's a few of us around the same stage. I'm 28+2 now and I think I'm coming into a new stage of moans. Both of my hips are hurting me now, sleeping (or trying to) is a nightmare and I actually dread night times now. Also, quite recently I've been feeling really rotten and I cant put my finger on it. I cant tell whether I'm suffering from stomach pains or something else. Its like I have stitch and cramps and trapped wind all at once - and I probably do! It was so awful last night though I must admit I was a bit scared and got a bit upset. Only consoling thing was that I'd been the hospital yesterday and everything was great so I was able to keep the stress levels in check.

I'm going to go back to my decorating/mess making/chaos now but I'll read all your posts again later.

Stay well everyone!

P.S. dream - try to ignore your Dad, parents think before they speak alot of the time and they also worry alot and then project that worry onto you so try and brush it off. There is no reason why you wont cope, people love putting fear in you no one ever seems to be positive (except of course all of the wonderful Mums on MN who have lots of very loved and well looked after babbies!).

xx

MersyMersy · 20/10/2011 11:06

Ooops should have previewed that maessage. Meant to say - parents DONT think before they speak!! Whoopsie! You get my meaning though :)

xx

xkatyx · 20/10/2011 16:51

Hi everyone,

I'm also stuck on what buggy to get but I'll google the ones listed on here, all the ones I see are so expensive.

I'm after one that that I can click to car seats on too.

Thank you everyone for asking about me. Had another blood test today and iron has gone up to 8.7 so that is alot better than what it was.
I'm with you on the hips etc I can't sleep on my sides but when I try sleeping on my back propped up I can't breath?! I actually feel like someone is sitting on my chest!

How's everyone's Braxton tons hixs?? Mine are a nightmare !!

Today I'm 27+5 so very close to my next stage of 28 weeks that I wanted to make, next one is 30.

Anyone had any recent growth scans? I had one Monday baby 1 is 2lb5 and baby 2 is 2lb2 I have been told they are same size as a single baby would be at this stage?

Sorry to hear some are struggling too not long ladies and I'm sure we will look back with happy memories :0)

dreamfeeder · 20/10/2011 19:43

mersymersy, I bought the baby jogger city mini after masses of research for DD and it is amazing, I love it!!!!!! DD sleeps well in it (having never slept in a buggy before), it folds like a dream, good to push (a double goes round our village too and I might have asked the mum when I found out I was pg) and the hoods are the best thing ever for sun/sleeping/light rain. I will be getting the double too like you I think... Loads on ebay too for around £200 if that helps you xkaty. Not looked at any others yet though, but won't have mega bucks to spend. I would like carry cots though. I have a mini too, but it will be sold to buy the twin-and-toddler-in-a-rear-facer Fun Bus type of car... MPV it is!

And mersy, that's exactly what I think, i don't want to spend my whole pregnancy worrying about how hard it will be with 3. I want to be able to be excited and happy too! I agree, I have no illusions it'll be easy- I know how hard DD was as a single baby, and I'll have her at 18 or 19 months too. Can't be quite so anxious as your first baby at least, I hope.

I've had some really painful cramps last night and today. I'm worried but trying to stay calm. DH doesn't think I need to get seen yet as they're not persistant, but I am having a bit of a panic that I'm going to miscarry Sad. I hope that's all it is, me panicking.... I just wish I could skip forward to 26 weeks and I'd feel a bit better they'd have a chance whatever. 14 weeks today. Huge. Everyone at work is commenting on how pregnant I look, and how big my bump is. I don't carry small anyway though. And I'm still below my pre-pregnant weight, which I was quite happy with- now my smallest jeans are still baggy everywhere.

8.7 katy, that is hardly good!!!! I still felt dreadful at 8.7, no wonder you're breathless and exhausted. At 8.1 after DD's birth I was breathless going up stairs (yes, after delivering, I was ^fine* before!). At least it's going the right way. Red meat and broccoli for you!

xkatyx · 20/10/2011 20:06

Dreamfeeder please try not to worry about pains too much I know personally with this pregnancy aches and pains and cramps were so much more than what I had in any other pregnant.

I am so excited about the twins conning (not yet though) I think it will be amazing very hard work but also worth every minute.
I must admit it took awhile to get here, I went through tags of dread denial, scared and also with so many negative comments don't help!
Take a deep breath ladies, I'm not a very religious person but I read that god only blesses woman who can cope :0) nice thought.

Like the sound of the pushchair thank you dreemfeeder, I'm going to go look at some next week, I'll be sad to get rid of my buggy I have now though.

I was below 7 for my iron at the weekend, gosh I felt awful, I still feel exhausted and just a utter mess.

I usually like to try and keep myself preened but lately washing my hair is a chore, my skin is so dry and patchy ughhhhh I look awful, anyone else Gavin these problems?

ravenlocks · 20/10/2011 21:23

Welcome Claire!

Should we revive the list? I know the world is split into people who like lists and people who don't but for me and my pregnancy brain/ dodgey memory, it would be great to know who was due when, what type of twin and flavours etc.

Peeling mega congrats. Must be so scary being so prem. How are you and the babies now? When were they born?

Sorry to those that are not feeling great. I am in good health and I should feel grateful for than - my iron is about 13.5 - but feeling bulky and awkward which I know will only get worse.

I don't have any children at the moment, so not had the comments about 3, but lots of people have felt the need to comment 'rather than you than me' and 'it will be hell' type comments - mostly from men I have to admit. I ignore!

On the doppler thing, my midwife didn't do the doppler at 16 week appointment and I was so disappointed, apparently the right way to do it with twins is with 2 midwifes and 2 dopplers at once so in community they are on their own and can't. I asked the consultant if she was talking crap or not (it has been known) but she said, no she is right. So I heard the HBs at my 20 week appt at the hospital as there were 2 of them there with 2 dopplers. Then at my 24 week community midwife appointment she went ahead and listened to the HBs, and didn't even mention the fact she should have a colleague and second doppler - confused? Yeah , me too!

ravenlocks · 20/10/2011 21:27

Oh and dreamfeeder I second the DO NOT PANIC message. It is so hard not to worry about every cramp and twinge - I had lots of cramps too and all fine so far. How are you now?

dreamfeeder · 20/10/2011 22:25

Thanks raven, I'm ok, not had them for an hour or so, but such sharp pains. Really unsettling. Not an aching and cramping but a shooting and stabbing, on and off the last day or so. I never had anything like this with DD. No bleeding- I keep having to check now!! I will hope it is just because I have never been pg with twins before, as after all, panicking will only make it worse... I just wish I had a scan or a HB doppler to look forward to sooner than 6 weeks time! My one twin mum friend (she has 7 year old girls, and her little boy is 3 weeks older than my DD which is how I know her) was saying how hard it was with her girls, and how she didn't get out so much as you can't 'pop' anywhere, it's all double buggy out the car etc etc even just going to visit a friend with no parking very close but has been incredibly positive since I told her I'm having twins and has said only positives which I'm very grateful for!! Her girls are super excited too.

I'd go for a list. Still debating whether to find out flavours or not...

Yes, also thinking of you peeling. And you bb3. In fact I do wonder how normal it is to think of people I've never met and wouldn't know from Adam if I bumped into in RL so much!?!

MersyMersy · 20/10/2011 23:01

Dream - I third the don't panic message. I had loads of sharp stabbing pains at the beginning. I think it's your uterus expanding. I also suffered really badly with burning tearing pains in my bikini area. They all seemed to stop at about 20 wks (to be replaced by hip pain...sorry!). If you think about it everything is growing bigger more quickly. Blimey, is that really poorly put?

I got the carry cots for the mini they were about 100 quid each but I really had my heart set on them, wanted a bit of the traditional pram style at least. I really liked the shade on them, thought that was a really good feature.

Xkatyx- what are Braxton hixs like? I think I've been having them of a night time, I have asked a midwife but she didnt really explain it well.

My community midwife wouldn't listen to heartbeats until about my third visit she says it's far too unreliable for twins in her eyes. She's not very happy dealing with me though,she says she doesn't like dealing with twin pregnancies! I asked at the hospital and they did agree with her regarding the Doppler, that's why we have so many scans to be making proper checks.

Honestly dreams when you get to the 20 wk scan you'll feel so much better and then you'll feel like you're always at the hospital and it's lovely and reassuring.

Just along the negative comments thread can I have a whinge? I am so sick of people telling me how hard it's going to be, I appreciate it's going to be hard I really do I also know that there is no way I can fully appreciate how hard until I've been up for three weeks in a row with no sleep but I'm also bringing two new very longed for little people into the world and I'm sooooo happy and excited about it I just wish I could be allowed that feeling without having to worry about how hard it's going to be all the time.

Bb3 you asked about names, I havent got any definites yet. Is that bad? I like Noah and Benedict for boys names and Agnes and Meredith for girls names but my DP hates all my suggestions.

Apologies all if my post is a bit poor tonight, the iPad confuses me!

xkatyx · 21/10/2011 07:43

Mersey Braxton hixs are when your tummy goes very tight like a contraction but without the pain. And your belly will go in to funny shapes :0)

We are having 2 girls our names are Rosie and Gracie I can't wait.

Oh I have a dreaded glucose test this morning 2 hours sitting around at hospital is so boring.

Also about the heartbeat, does anyone else have consultant app??? I have one every 2 weeks and he always said it truly is a nightmare to find heartbeats as could same baby etc so he just pops the scan on every time just to check heartbeats.

But I know here they don't do heartbeat checks till your 24 week app.

dreamfeeder · 21/10/2011 13:04

Thanks for the reassurance! I'm slightly calmer now. I'd be so much happier if the consultant would scan me- I have an appointment next Thursday now, so I'd be 15 weeks. Bring on 20 weeks then!!!

Oooh, mersymersy, I didn't realise you could get carry cots for the mini, now that will sway me! No need to look at anything else! Though £100 each will not tempt DH. And I'm still thinking of the mammoth ABC Everest as a triple so I can put DD on too. One on ebay right now, but I daren't buy anything at all til I'm at least 26 weeks. Plus its collection only miles and miles and miles away.

We didn't have any definite names until our DD was born and we could look at her and see what we thought suited her. We had 3 girls names we both mostly agreed on, and were still arguing about boys names when I was in labour! We thought she was a boy, because I was measuring big and boys are typically bigger, plus on the scans before she was born ( I had 3 to determine the state of my waters and check the baby due to prolonged rupture of membranes) everything was bang on dates bar femur length which was ahead of dates- we were sure she'd be a tall boy! I like Noah a lot, and Benedict. And Meredith. you obviously didn't find out the flavours then mersy?

Braxton hicks were strong tightenings for me, which I got at night and with exertion from about 22 weeks onwards with DD particularly if mountain biking on the uphills. I could clearly feel them, as could DH if he put a hand on my tummy, and it kind of flattened my lower tummy and made it feel rock solid. They used to last about 30 sec or so each.

Absolutely, I'm so glad there is this thread to remind me it can be ok with twins. No-one thinks it's going to be easy, I'm sure, but the first 6-8 weeks ime was hell with one, I got absolutely no sleep- certainly no more than an hour and a half in one go, so I actually don't think 2 can be that much worse and hey, I coped. The other thing that really did my head in towards the end last time was people telling me to rest up- at 40 weeks, when I was enormous, with bad rib and hip pain, reflux, etc etc and couldn't get comfy to rest, wasn't sleeping well, not helped by weeing every couple of hours, and thinking enough of this, bring on the newborn part and shut up!

xkatyx · 21/10/2011 18:32

I agree dreemfeeder, bring on the newborn atleast I'll be able to move unlike now every bone cracks!
I found the first few weeks not to bad at all but that was 1 baby and kids at school in the day so able to sleep etc. This will be a challenge but I really can't wait.

We took the kids out today for something to eat after school and there were a couple there with twin girls about 10/11 months they were so cute I couldn't stop staring at them!!

Had glucose test today hopefully will pass that, chocolate is the only think keeping me going.

Also think I may of had a little show this evening :0/ so hoping these babies stay put!!!

dreamfeeder · 21/10/2011 22:13

Oh I hope it wasn't a show yet katy. Did you do anything about it, like ring the hospital or mw or just cross your fingers? and legs!!

My DD is ill. She hasn't slept well at all for 3 nights, so I'm starting the guaranteed-disturbed +++ night of illness from a pretty exhausted start. I literally didn't get her back in her cot on Tuesday night from 2am, and from 10:45 to 2 she only slept in 40 min max blocks. Her sleeping has gone off the wall for no obvious reason (? she Knows Something's Up has been suggested as a theory), not quite so bad Wed and same last night, but I'm still struggling with tiredness from multiple get-ups for prolonged periods in the night with her and working after no sleep Wed and Thurs. Took DD to the GP today as she had a high temp but cold extremeties, wouldn't stand or walk or weight bear at all, and sat or slept (!!!!) on me all afternoon. I had meningitis in my head because of the cold extremeties despite fever and lethargy. The GP clearly thought I was paranoid though did check her fully, including her joints as she was still super lethargic and wouldn't weight bear for him. And said (of course) 'It's a virus!'. She's gone to bed with nothing to eat or drink miserable and ha already been up howling once... Sad. Plus I felt like a fool at the GPs!!!!

I'm still getting the cramps and trying not to worry so much. Wondering what my chances are of the consultant scanning me at my first appointment if I tell her about them?! Any ideas on possibilities?!

xkatyx · 22/10/2011 08:04

I called my community midwife who is also a good friend and she said along as no blood, pain etc don't panic it could of been the tightenings dislodged a bit! So I feel happy with that.

You poor thing, it's awful having a poorly child the worry and the stress of it. Poor thing I hope she gets better soon, there is so much going about at the moment near enough every parent on my Facebook has said there child is poorly at the moment!!
Could you two snuggle up in bed for the day maybe watch Telly in bed?
If I were you and was worried I wouldcall epu (which I did numerous times)
And explain .. If there anything like mine they will see you and scan you. I'm not gonna lie you will properly have to exaggerate a little.

Or call your labour wars speak to a midwife and ask for advice.

The cramps you explained are so much like the ones I had, I used to be in and out of the toilet checking for blood, I even took some paracetamal ( and u never ever like taking anything at all in pregnancy)

But I was same as you very worried, everything is getting stretching bigger and quicker making room for the little ones.

claireinmodena · 22/10/2011 08:34

hello again,

I can see we're getting similar comments, snap on all fronts Mersy, I find it particularly patronising since I've had 2 children already so I do have an idea of what is going to be like, as for the reality of it, no one knows, as it may not be the same as for other twin mums!!

I do feel for you who have younger children at home too. I have to say the girls at this stage are often more of a help than work and I'm training them to be even more independent, they are now clearing the table and putting their things in the dishwasher (something that dear dh never got the hang of Hmm)

I know I am having a boy and a girl, I had an amnio due to my age (40 next week sob!) and having already too I wasn't sure I was going to cope IF there'd been anything wrong, at the same time dreading the idea of having to take any hard decisions...luckily we did not have to), 22 weeks yesterday, due date 23rd Feb.

Can't help re heartbeats, as I have had quite a few scans already (one at 9 weeks, because I fainted while working and was taken to A&E, that's when I found out it was twins Shock, then my nuchal fold, 2 for the amnio and the 20 week scan), so no one's actually tried to listen to heartbeats.

I live in Italy anyway, so the antenatal care is slightly different, I'm also being cared for privately as I couldn't stand my community midwife (she did not want me to go on holiday to Sweden at 10 weeks or do antenatal swim classes at 14, and treating me in general as if I was ill!!) But here in Italy is a lot more affordable than in the UK luckily!

No cramps here, and I'm afraid no advice to offer..only very bad ligament pain, had it with dd2 but only last 2 weeks of pregnancy, this time round started at 19! I already feel challenged mobility-wise, can't imagine how I am going to get to the end...

I'm off for a checkup appointment now, hope your little ones get better soon and you are able to get some rest!

have a nice weekend ladies!
xx

dreamfeeder · 22/10/2011 10:44

Maternity services are rubbish round here. They've been on national news and there's a red alert, to the point of closure if improvements don't happen fast. Lots of things should be in place by 2012 but it doesn't help me now! There is no EPU here, you go to the gp up to 18 weeks and ring delivery suite after that. I'm going to hope for consultant reassurance next Thursday and cross everything I can persuade her to scan me.

I can definitely say my 13 month old is not a help! We have survived night 4 of minimal sleep for me, but she's no better this morning- a temp of 39 after calpol, still lethergic, cold hands and feet. The gp yesterday said to take her again if no better in 48 hours which seems ages away! I hope she perks up soon. And I hope her sleep settles down again soon... If she's trying to remind me what a newborn is like she needn't bother, I remember!! But I am so tired I'm dreading tonight already... Especially if she's still feeling so bad. Poor child.

A girl and a boy! How lovely Claire. Are your girls excited? I am secretly hoping for that too, as I'd quite like another girl, and i know Dh would like a boy. That'd be perfect! The old cliche though, so long as they're both healthy, I don't care!! If we do find out I'm sure I will have convinced myself its the perfect combination in 2 minutes flat, same as i convinced myself nothing could be better than twins within a day of finding out!!! Have you chosen names?

Hope you had a good night Katy and nothing else to worry about.

tabbycatt · 22/10/2011 12:06

Hello all
lovely to see lots of people back online - was worrying about you all!! And welcome xClairex.

HAve now stopped work and spent last week running around like a mad thing trying to get some progress made on the house. We started building an extension in March, was supposed to be finished by June... still isn't although nearly is. Won't bore you with the details but it has been a nightmare. It's taken the kitchen and dining room out of commission and the rest of the house is a filthy tip as a result. It will be fine (in fact it will be lovely when it's finished) but i want it done NOW!! my mum thinks I have extreme nesting!! I am just paranoid that these guys are going to turn up early and then I will end up living in the current mess for 2 years as we won't have time or money to do anything about it!!

I know I am worrying unnecessarily and overdoing things as a result but hey ho!

Am actually in Cornwall for a week now with dd and my mum which is lovely - nice to get some distance from the house!

Sorry to hear about people feeling rubbish etc. Have read all the posts I'd missed but have a brain like a sieve and dd is wanting me to play with her so don't have time to reread and post specific comments unfortunately. Glad other people are getting bh - I've been getting them a lot and very strong when stressed/exertion (= walking!!!!!!!!!) and was worried the fist few times I had them - am only 25 + 5 now and didn't get them with dd until I was well past 30 weeks. However, it's happened quite a few times and nothing seems to be going wrong and babies are still active and growing (my tummy is anyway!) so am assuming it's all ok. Scan in 2 weeks which will be nice.

Am struggling with names. We're having 2 boys and I seem to have my heart set on a name that no one else loves. My sister actively dislikes it, my dh is fairly ambivalent, my mum doesn't like it but is too good to say so! But it just feels right to me!! Hoping that he comes out (I even know that it's T2's name) and it just doesn't suit him and we can resolve it that way!! Finding boys names tough though!

xRavenx - reviving the list is a lovely idea but does anyone know the protocol on when you take people off it who had their babies ages and ages ago and no longer post? I find the old list a bit unwieldy but really don't want to offend anyone. Maybe we could start a list from scratch and people who are active on here can add to it?? OBviously people like MrsStevo, BB3, Peeling, Tigger should put their delivery dates on there so we can keep track of when their LOs arrived and how old they are, it's just the ones that are about 1 now that I am not sure about. Or we could just ignore my ramblings and go with the old list!!

Either way, my entry:

tabbycatt, I can only imagine the horror of living in a building site while an extension goes up and how long it all takes... Having just had our kitchen floor levelled and a new floor laid which took 5 days, and I escaped with DD to my dads to avoid the mess and lack of kitchen use I'm amazed you sound so stoical about it! How do you cope without a kitchen?! I couldn't even imagine while I was also coping with the sickness, hence my de-camp for a mere new floor! I'm dying to hear all the details about yours, as now we're having twins, extending our house is a future possibility....

Rubbish, ill DD awake and crying from her nap, must go and rescue her... Poor little thing, she never wakes up crying if she's not ill

Right, I have left a gap before me as I know there's claire, raven, and quempin in there. And BB3 of course but I don't know exactly when she delivered her girls...
