Sorry for the silence all, life has been a little hectic. Suspect I am trying to cram too much in pre-arrival! Hope all of you are well, and recovering, and resting where applicable.
Had a bit of a scare last week,ended up going in to be checked. The community midwife was absolutely useless, in fact dismissive and rude - I've heard that from other mums locally, but hadn't expected her to be so off with me, it's not like I've ever bothered her before. So off we went, and Twin One had turned, back to front and inside out, the little monkey. But they were lovely. I won't bother with the CM in future, I'll just go straight to the hospital.
Nearly there with the spare room nursery, just need to order the buggy and car seats this weekend. A new twin friend of mine went into labour last night at 30 weeks, another two I've heard of at 32 weeks - making it all a bit real now. I'm 26 weeks and just want to meet them - although it's too early, I know! Work are being very flexible, but I'm hoping to go til 33 weeks - not least because I'm only in the office twice a week. But we shall see.
Should find out how much they each weigh at the 28 week scan. They were slightly below the 50th percentile at my 24 week scan, but they are growing well.
Need to write down my birth plan, such as it is. Given I can't have what I thought I'd have (water birth, active labour etc) it's about managing the risks to get as close to that as possible. Am feeling very positive about it overall thanks to NCT and TAMBA - both of which I've really enjoyed doing, as has DH.
Has anyone else's belly button popped? Mine is really stretched - feels like it would be easier if it turned inside out!
