Hi all, sorry once again for not posting in so long. We've had back to back illness in this house, so the past month has been hard. I'm also busy trying to wrap up a major project as this is my DS' last week in nursery. I work freelance and will continue to do some bits and pieces until the summer, but will be cutting down significantly after this week.
I'm 16+1 and doing okay, apart from having colds nearly constantly for the past month. This pregnancy is definitely harder than my singleton pregnancy with DS. I'm not super exhausted and nauseous anymore like in the first trimester, but am still much more tired than normal and getting a bit uncomfortable. I feel about two months further along than I am. I've even started getting Braxton Hicks already, which I think I got quite early when pregnant with DS, although it took me a while to work out what they were.
Starting next week (at 17 weeks), I will have scans at least every two weeks, which I hope will be reassuring. I will also be seeing the consultant at least that often, and he said at one point it will be twice a week! This is very different than my relaxed, low-risk pregnancy with DS. In any case, I'm really hoping to find out the gender at my scan on Monday. Since they're identical, they'll either both be girls or both be boys, and I'm dying to know which.
Okay, I'm off for a catch-up, and will try to do a better job with keeping up with this group, especially after I wrap up this week of work. I hope everyone is well.
