LG&T, if its any consolation you were still more organised than me. I ended up at a hospital 50 miles from home, waters broken and no hospital bag, a mobile with no credit and no money . Monkey, speaking of which I would advise that you also check out your hospital's neonatal care. I didn't and was very surprised to find on arrival at hospital at 32 weeks that they had no room for me or the appropriate level of care for my two, hence the transfer at 3.00 am. I am seriously considering speaking to the head of midwifery services about my care during the birth of my twins as it was very patchy. My HV has suggested that I do so that no one else has to go through what I did. I would hate for anyone on this thread to experience what I did and had written a post the other day to this end, but didn't post simply because I still sound so bitter (I am) and really don't want to frighten all you newly pg people .
Golly, that was a bit long winded for this time of the day . Welcome to you too sophie . You will very much have to get used to the comments about having your hands full, and the good news is that it gets even better once your twins arrive - people seem to love stating the obvious but they generally only do it because they are not sure what else to say. If I'm feeling particularly cross I usually reply with a cheery 'better full than empty' which usually gets the message across. Although I was quite clueless about how life would be with twins before they arrived, now that they are here I can hand on heart say that I love having them and feel that it really is a privilege to be a twin mum - it makes me cross when I think of how negative people can be about having two at once. I hope your move goes well and I agree with LG&T, no heavy lifting!
LG&T, you are doing very well to get out of the house at all I think. I have been stuck in with the dts for a few days now, in fact I rather like fg's idea of hibernation, would certainly save me from having to do the school run .
Shabs/Neenz, dh went to a city game a few months back. He was invited by one of the government owned banks . He has been to quite a few games as a corporate guest but said that city was probably the best so far. He said he could see the Gallagher brothers in one of the boxes and also Ricky Hatton too. I think he was a little star struck .
