we've smacked that rat now brooking for healthy pregnancys and sneeze births!

[cartoontrickster]

hope everyone finds me.

Pen that sounds scary I would rest up today and try and push for an appointment today.

Sweetie brooking for you!

Maybe yes indeed I got my results back for my Harmony test and everything is low risk and I had another NT scan too and all looked really well. The dr gave us lots of scan pics too. I can't believe I don't get to see the baby until 20 weeks now! I'm wondering if I should book a 16 week scan. When we told the gynae who did my lap last year about being pregnant he told us to come and see him if we wanted a scan so may take him up on it at 16 weeks.

Yay Solars!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!nand hurrah for more photos!

We are going to gave one at 17 weeks, and another one in the third trimester too, I always think its bad that there isnt routine 3rd trimester scanning in the UK.

Thanks Maybe I agree about the 3rd trimester scan. And how are you doing today? Are you feeling better? You didn't go into work today did you?

woo hoo Solars for the Harmony results, bet it was nerve wracking waiting for those to come back. I know what you mean about it been a painfully long wait from 12 weeks to 20 weeks. I am lucky that we will be scanned every 4 weeks going forwards.

So I am back, they were both still in there and very activemy fault for having a scone with jam & cream before I went Apparently I have both an anterior and posterior placenta which is why I haven't felt very much so far. All is well, both twins measuring exactly where they should and are more or less the same as each other. She was very thorough and explained everything she was doing. So she was certain twin 2 is a girl and pretty sure twin 1 is a boy, the umbilical cord was in the way for 100% certainty. So it looks like one of each for us. I am quite surprised as I was convinced we would be having 2 boys. That has confused the great name debate as I had been thinking of same sex names to go together, now I have to think of one of each back to Mary & Joseph then

Excellent scan news Sweetie Yay!! I too was thinking boy and girl! How exciting I'm so pleased for you!!

ah sweetie I'm so pleased and so happy jealous its one of each! how cute.
great news too solars!

Oh Sweetie I am so very pleased for you thank god bert and ernie are out

sweetie that's great news. A boy and girl how fantastic.

solars that's great about that test.

So I rang the doctor again and was speaking to a doc. She said I fainted which made me fall down the stairs slightly and almost fainted again in the kitchen. So ill just have to take it a bit easier.

Pen, is recommend keeping snacks by your bedside table. You would've fainted cos our blood sugar was low at that time of the morning. Little snacks really help.

Sweetie I'm still grinning from your news!!

Brilliant sweetie I'm so pleased all is good. So many scans for you, lucky girl. So twins are still the same size as singles at 20 weeks? One of each will be just lovely. Congratulations. Any tears? How long were you in there?

solars more lovely news :) congratulations as well, I hope you can relax and enjoy now.

As for me, I saw the dr this morning. 'Lots to do in ten minutes' she said... Asked me where I want to give birth, urine dip, Bp, history etc. And I'm seeing the mw this afternoon as she was very concerned I don't have any Green Notes... Naughty me... Will ask if they want to give me another scan. Hope they don't trust Thailand :)

pen also make sure you get up slowly to give your Bp time to rise. And are you drinking enough?

Wonderful news sweetie, so exciting!!

And brilliant news from you too solars :)

so exciting in here at the moment!
keep glad you've seen the doc, fingers crossed when you see the mw she arranges you a scan.
penguin hope you feel better. make sure you look after yourself.
I'm 17+2 now and am having a scan Wed afternoon. I'm very nervous/excited. I have the definate beginnings of a bump now. I still think it looks fat. but my belly feels harder and everyone else thinks it looks bump like so just me being silly then.

Exciting stuff Keep!! Really hope you get another scan!

17+2 already Trix! Amazing

Wow scans galore this week! We've got Maybe tmrw and now Trix on Wednesday.

Keep brooking you get a scan booked in too.

Hope you're feeling better Pen

Pressed post too soon was meant to wave to Little

Also wanted to ask, has anybody bought any pregnancy books? Any recommendations? I think my SIL has the what to expect when expecting one so may try and borrow that from her but wondered if there were any others that are good!

I have what to expect, and I also have the mumsnet pregnancy one. Which is so funny, very good for honest opinions. Also, if you have an iPhone, there's an amazing app called Sprout.

Little, thatee stick is still on my bedside table just ask sparks, she's seen the evidence

Maybe hope all goes well at your scan tomorrow. It is so magical to see the little flicker of the hb.

And Trix the following day, scans coming thick and fast this week. Good luck with yours too.

Thanks Ladies for your good wishes. I am feeling very happy at the moment, although it does still feel a bit unreal. I know it has to start sinking in sometime so it might as well be now. Also at least I have got my longest wait for a scan over with now.

Keep they are measuring normal for their "age" as singletons. I don't think they expect twins to be smaller at this stage. I think she said they were 12oz each. I did have a little tear on the way home, just because I feel so lucky and blessed to have got this far. How did you get on this afternoon?

I have the book that Keep recommended but to be honest I have hardly read it, I have gone with the flow. I might try to get something twins specific too.

Thanks so much Sweetie. Keep having nightmares that there is no heartbeat. But there's nothing I can do now

You and MrS must be so excited!! I can imagine how surreal it must be. And that's great that you now get scanned every 4 weeks!!

Yay! Awesome news, sweetie?

Brooking for the rest of you, especially those with scans this week

That ? should have been ! - imps fingers as typing while feeding E.

Sweetie so pleased for you and Mr S :):) such brilliant news!

Maybe brooking for Fin to have a lovely little heart beat tomorrow :)

Trix good luck for your scan too, have you and DH relaxed a bit now? Did you have a detailed anomaly scan or is that this one?

Keep did you see the mw? Have you got new notes and a scan date?

Penguin definitely keep snacks near the bed, hope you're feeling better. I feel I should also add, I may have named Chick in haste and now think Pingu would be far more suitable, I will let the others vote on that

Solars I missed your post about the harmony results and can't scroll back on mw phone but I gather that they're good results, so pleased for you :) will pop back and read your post

So I'm still busy busy busy with X MIL, we're having a brilliant time and can't believe she has to leave soon. She has agreed to do the blood test to help us confirm the chromosome findings for teen boo :):)

Oh and thanks for the cake Maybe

maybe I can't eat during the night, I wear retainers so can't eat. Also with the bloating feeling I dread eating. Would fruit juice work?

keep I'm not sure if I am. However I've tried to spent all day with a drink in my hand so hopefully not happen again.

sweetie just want to say again how great it is to hear about your babies. I bet it was just so lovely to see them on the screen again. Now just to think of names, I found this bit very hard.

maybe is your scan tomorrow? Hoping everything is good with fin and he/she is growing nice and big in there.

Poor you Pen. The juice would keep your sugar levels up, but may upset your tummy more. Have you tried a peppermint tea?

Thanks for the luck

No haven't tried it. I don't really flavoured or herbal tea.

Ill maybe see if my mum has some but I'm not too concerned if she doesn't.

It really can help. My bloating has definitely eased off a bit this week, just hope that's not a bad sign!!
