Oops lewaney, sorry

Congratulation lewaney

We're going to need a new thread in the next hour if it's a busy Friday

Lewaney huge congratulations! I am 17 weeks today with twins. Sorry you have had HG, hope you are starting to feel better. We have been looking at buggies - at the moment the Mountain Buggy Duet is the front runner for us! We liked the Bugaboo Donkey, but the MB is narrower and less expensive.

Congrats Lewaney and wow we have a lot of twins on this thread!

At our scan DH asked the sonographer twice to double check there weren't two in there! The sonographer said she'd once found 5

Congrats Lewaney :D I almost cried with relief when the sonographer told us there was just one! Not sure I could cope with 3 under 16 months haha :)
Our scan is also a £39 one from babybond still got 4 weeks to wait though.
Looks like we have loads of Bugaboo Donkeys on this thread, I'm still living in hope that I'll find a second hand one for a few hundred but I doubt it.

Thank you all!!

lucky I saw that too but DH dismissed it as we're not the "outdoor type" may I ask if you're expecting identical? We are and we have some extra appointments scheduled at UCL hospital...quite worried but we've been told it's due to the type of twins they need to be monitored closely.

Scan wise I'm quite excited to know! Whereas DH is not. But we've been told they will be of the same gender so my ideal of one each won't be fulfilled haha.

beaker I can't imagine!..the thought of two at this time and moment excited me but worries me so much! Especially as they will be our first. Although DH has kindly pointed out I'll have baby one to practice on so baby two will have everything done correctly

Lewaney mine are non-identical (DCDA) from two embryos (IVF), so they have their own sacs and placentas. I'm guessing the worry with yours is the risk of TTTS? I would highly recommend looking at the TAMBA website, they have booklets you can download that should give you some more info if you're worried. I know it can be scary being automatically classed high-risk but it's good to have extra monitoring so any problems can be picked up quickly.

Thanks lucky will look into that website. Yes the tts is a worry as they have their own sacks but are sharing a placenta. I meet my consultant soon so hope to feel less worried after meeting with them. I agree with it feels nice to know there's at least extra monitoring. We had a scare earlier on the week and I was rushed in all emotional for an ultrasound.. All was well and she even have us two free pictures... The staffs kindness made me cry even more.

Wow, twins lewaney - scary but fun! Congrats...!

Busy day on the thread - I've been bollocksing around with my thesis today and instead of adding words, that I really need to do, I've managed to take words out instead... editing is good. But a bit depressing anyway.

I then cried most of the way home as I was running late and my DSC were due at 5 and I got back at 5.03 and got stressed because I hate being reliable, particularly when it involves the person who hates me most in the world... She was quite nice to me though, but...

I don't want to find out the sex, but I want a cheap scan - 5 ½ weeks till my next... Maybe it'll be better once I know that I can feel movement, instead of doing the 'is it, is it' thing. I'm annoying myself!

Right, made us a new thread.

lewaney, how wonderful, twins!

mistersafety, where is your DH from?
We have now found names we like, that work in both Dutch and English, aren't popular, aren't odd names and don't have horrible spelling.
