As I was replying I realised the thread has reached the limit.
I thought I'd create a new thread for us all to keep in touch.

@User491 I’m 17 weeks on Monday .. so only a week behind you .. no I haven’t really had any cravings uno just all food hahahaha I like something for a week then change my mind the week after nothing I can pinpoint I am obsessed with I’ve gone off tea and coffee from the minute I found out I was pregnant ha ha which is good because I completely cut out caffeine before the injections so it’s easy .. have zero caffeine in my diet now not even a cheeky Diet Coke

Haha, I'm a bit the same, someone mentions something and I'm like ohhh could just eat that 😂
That's so good about the caffeine! Tbh I only have one cup, sometimes 2 a day but usually have decaf anyways after my first cup.

I'm so tempted to get a private scan this week, just to check in on them 😅 next one is 2 week on Wednesday, I can't wait to get a proper 4d one further along 🥰

Have you picked any names out?

@User491 Ah I feel like that all the time. I constantly want scans to check in on baby. I've had 4 already tho 😀 it's been almost a month now since my last scan and i feel like im going out of my mind. I've got my anomaly scan this week tho so I'm incredibly nervous about it

Hi all. I went off the radar for a bit. But I am also 17 weeks pregnant today. We did a home blood test which came back as a boy. We had a name and everything. Went for a 3d scan last week and they lit the room up pink!! It's actually a GIRL!! Blood test (sneakpeak) was wrong! We very very happy tho. I attached a pic for you. Hope your all ok! Big love. Kate

@Kitt86 ohhhh how gorgeous .. how you feeling ???

@Millie89xx yeah had extreme tiredness up til about 12 weeks and now just got the madest coccyx aching pain. Think Im going to be one of those people that suffer with pelvic pain. Otherwise all's going good. Just wish it would feel real. It's hard when you've been on the journey we have all been on for it to actually sink in.due date is 29th July. Hope you are all feeling well. I started back at gym at about 8 weeks then had a bleed while training and ended up in EPU. All was fine. But stopped exercising for a while but back in gym 3 X a week and taking it a bit easy so that's helped alot with mental health etc. big love. Kate

@Kitt86 wahhh we have the same due date so we must be the same … how mad !!!! Same it hasn’t sank in with me yet are you feeling any flutters yet ??

@LiIacMoon haha pregnancy is sending us all crazy 😂
Hope your scan has gone well/goes well if you've not already had it.. will be so nice to see baby again after a long 4 weeks ☺️
I can't remember, did you find out what you're having?

@Kitt86 aww so lovely to hear from you, congratulations a little girl 😍 I can't believe the bloods were wrong 🙈 did you have a feeling it was going to be a girl or were you totally shocked ha!

I caved and went for a private scan yesterday as they had a cancellation and I couldn't resist!
Both babies totally fine 🥰 I can only feel one moving but the other twin has an anterior placenta. Twin 1 is on the bottom and twin 2 is sat on top.. makes sense now for what I can feel.. I thought they were side by side 😂
We got a glimpse in 4d it was amazing to see 🥰
Defo going to keep the genders a surprise ❤️

@User491 my anomaly scan went well thanks. Everything appeared normal thankfully. I found mine quite uncomfortable as had to apply alot of pressure and sonographer had to tilt me on the bed as the little ones head is lying really low. It seems to love the upside down position as every scan we've had its been awkward.
My anxiety was through the roof and I was just so relieved to hear everything looked fine that I forgot to ask if she could identify the sex. Not that I think we want to keep it surprise until the big day. Well I do anyway but other half is keen to find out to help us prepare but aslong as baby is healthy we don't really care what it is.
When is your big scan ?
Have you felt any movement yet?

@LiIacMoon great that your scan went good .. sounds like you have a cheeky monkey on your hands ! I’m 17.3 and not sure if I’ve felt little bubbles not all the time tho have you ? It’s hard to tell I think

@LiIacMoon so pleased it went well for you 🥰
Haha love that he/she is upside down! Will be good later on ready for coming out too haha.
Bless you, Im surprised they didn't ask you though, the main thing is at least you know everything is ok, and now if you want to find out you can 🙂

Mines a week on Wednesday... I feel nervous about that also!
Yeh twin 2 I get feelings of movement from, mainly after eating 😂 the other I don't think I've felt yet, but with the placenta being at the front that will explain why. We physically seen twin 1 jumping up and down on my bladder at the scan though 🤣

@Millie89xx I'm 19+3 now and just started feeling some kicking at the weekend. It's not consistent yet. Some days ill feel it and others i wont. Ive had a few big thumps tho , even the other half was able to feel it. Little one must have legs of steel . Can't imagine how its going to feel in the coming months. It's feet are right where I'm getting the jabs.
I feel like I've gone from feeling not pregnant to heavily pregnant in just one week 😄 and it still feels really hard to accept and believe it. I use a pregnancy app and baby is supposed to have a huge growth spurt from week 19-20. 10cm compared to 1 or 2cm average in previous weeks so I'm hoping I get some more frequent movements from baby.
We're both convinced it's a little boy in there and always refer to the baby as him so I think were going to be shocked if it's a girl 😁

Morning, just thought I would pop on and see how you are all doing 🥰

@User491 I’m good thanks how about you? It seems to be flying now after the 20 week mark how are you doing ?

@Millie89xx I'm good too thanks. 20 week scan showed that one of the twins is measuring smaller, so I had to go for an extra scan on Thursday to check the placenta. Everything's looking fine, so will just continue to get my 4 week scans from now. Fingers crossed everything will be fine 🤞🏻

It's crazy how quick it's flying by isn't it 🙈 I thought it would drag with the whole IVF process on top, but it's freaking me out now 😂 have you bought much yet?

@User491 ahhh that’s good then , I’ve got that placenta previa 😭 so probably gonna end up with a section which I’m not too happy about but as long as he’s safe I’m ok .. oh yeah I’m so organised I’ve done his nursery too 😂😂😂 furniture came today so that will be getting built soon .. I keep feeling like if I buy this will it jinx it but you can’t live like that can you .. are you feeling them move about

@Millie89xx aww one of mine is low too 😢 they thought from 16w-20w it maybe have slightly moved a bit higher, but said they will check again at 24w.
My midwife and consultant said 90-95% of the time it moves up its self so fingers crossed for us both.
I may go down the elective c section route anyways, but I haven't fully made my mind up as yet.

Omg have you that is amazing! You're so organised! I honestly have ordered the pram and car seats and 2 baby grows 😬🙈
I was really worried to buy things too early, but I'm thinking of spending the afternoon ordering some things haha! You've inspired me 🤣

Yeh, difference of days, some days they are having a full on party in there, then other times I get the odd movements. They seem to go mad once I've eaten, especially breakfast 😂
What about you? I've not really felt anything external yet.

@User491 ah I know but we can’t live like that can we or we are waiting for something to go wrong and that’s not the right attitude to have … I can feel kicks and movements but I’m not that big or anything still fitting into my leggins and stuff just non of my work skirts ha ha .. 🤣 roll on the nicer weather to wear stretchy maxi dresses have you got a date ? X

@Millie89xx I know it's defo not, I just couldn't shake the feeling.
I've got a more rounder shape happening now, and everything is getting tight 🙈
At least your leggings are still fitting! I've had to size up now ha.
Still managing the gym, but I have quite a lot of aches which I assume is just everything stretching.

It's so nice to feel the movement isn't it 🥰

No date yet, I just know it will be the beginning of July for now 😊
I remember last may/June being so hot.. will be torture for us if it ends up being like that again 😂

@User491 oh yeah it’s gonna be a scorcher and we are gonna be fat and shattered 😂😂😂😂😂

Hey,

I just wondered how you's were getting on!

How are yous feeling? Time is just flying by 🥰
Are you ready for them arriving? X

@User491 heyyyy, ohhhh I’ve had a rough old time recently been in hospital for 48hours 3 times in the last 2 weeks .. I’ve got placenta preavia due to low implantation and had 3 large bleeds very scarey . I’ve had to finish work and basically just rest nothing strenuous had to give the gym up which is sad but … I’ll be getting a c section at 36 weeks if no more bleeding before I doubt I’ll make my own baby shower ! But apart from that baby’s moving round I’m 30 weeks today . How about you ??? X

@Millie89xx oh no bless you 😭 Thank goodness you're resting and ok for now. Fingers crossed you manage to get to 36 weeks for your planned section 🤞🏻
That must have been really scary for you.

I'm 31 weeks today, and doing ok thanks, everything is getting more difficult now 😂 I was at the gym this morning and I've decided that my gym sessions are nearly about to come to an end 😂
I'm paid up to 6th June, so will try til then but just keep monitoring how I feel,

We are likely to have our babies in the same week! I haven't fully decided on section or natural just yet, but I'll go in for induction or section on week 37 ish they think!
My low lying placenta has moved out of the way, but think they will confirm it on next weeks scan.

One of the babies had high blood flow to the placenta, so was on twice weekly scans for a good while; and last week it went normal again. Getting it checked on Thursday again and hopefully it has stayed the same 🤞🏻

You got your name picked out? We still haven't decided ha! It's all getting exciting though 🥰

Hey

@Millie89xx how you getting on? Did you get your section booked in? Hope your bleeding has stopped 🤞🏻

@LiIacMoon how are you doing?

@User491 awww I had him.. he’s 2 weeks old , I had him at 32 weeks due to a massive haemorrhage bleed from placenta .. he’s doing really well he’s still in NICU but only thing that’s keeping him there is a feeding tube he’s taking some bottles (breast milk) but not every feed so soon as that clicks we will be home xx how’s everyone else doing ?
it’s hard going I’m at the hospital 12 hours everyday with him but it will all be worth it once he’s home
