D'y ever wonder how much effort goes into thinking of these thread titles?

[curiositykilledhaskittens]

LOTS!

Monkey, they probably just put that in the policy because 37wks is accepted as full-term for twins. It probably means if you asked for an induction they'd let you have one (whereas they wouldn't for a singleton pregnancy). I am sure they will be more than happy to follow your wishes whatever they are!

Thanks neenz. It's good to hear all of this stuff from all of you . Appreciate it.

The twins dad isnt my ex hubby and hes done a runner lol. My mum is moving this month up north so she wont be about. My wee sis said she will move in for a few weeks after the babies are born but that will be mainly to help with dd. I need to know i can cope with the twins on my own so that i dont rely on other people all the time.

Starshaker you will be fine. One of the things I have learnt since having my dts is that you will always find a way to manage things, plus as everyone else has said, you have us to go through it with you .

Monkey, if it is any help my local hospital said they wouldn't induce/do a cs until the 38 week mark for pretty much the reasons neenz has stated.

Thanks to you all for being so nice about my horrible birth experience. Curio, I could practise on you lot but there is so much I haven't written on here about it - I have pretty much glossed over most of it although it doesn't feel like that - I am conscious that I might be boring the pants of all of you every time I post .

WELL DONE YOU....you will be just fine - you will manage and be just the best Mum. I was more organised when I had my twins than I have ever been before OR since!

shabs - organised!!! Somehow I can't picture that although I don't know why!!!

Starshaker - You will do it. Being a single mum is lonely but it means you get the children all to yourself - hey? I'm sure you'll find a way to cope and you'll be so super proud of yourself when you do. You never know, it might be easier than doing it with a waste of space man in tow! Certainly think it was easier to be a single mum of two than a mum of four and married to the best DH ever sometimes and not because of the extra children I think I just really enjoyed the freedom of being single and raising the children how I wanted without having to think of someone else all the time!

Bagpuss - you are definitely not boring us. Not. At. All. Say what you feel you need to. x

look at the time! The babies sleeping so long at night has made me over confident!!! SHIT! lol

Tell me you had been to bed before you posted at 2am!

Morning girls xx

Morning Shabs

im getting worried cause ive been feeling sick and hungry all the time and have major headaches and having to pee all the time??? i have no idea whats up with my body!!! maybe just a flu

morning! I was in bed just still on MN from when I had been doing the last feed at 11! They have just woken now... I got distracted posting on AIBU about husband stealing! So, so stupid not to make use of all that lovely sleep!

morning!

lexi - you think pg and with twins?

Goodmorning all..........back to school, hooray though I hated getting up at 6.30am. Not feeling good, almost went into a panic attacl last night again, thats twice in a week, thought I had conquered them as have been good the last year, pain in my right side, piling on the pounds, feeling very unfit, looks like I`ll have to take up jogging in the fresh air and give up the nuts. What to do girls?

Morning Trips - I have been having panic attacks for the last week and I take beta blockers to control them Its not properly light here yet and the sky is heavy with snow - school is open and Tom and his friend shuffled up the very, very icy hill at 8am....

Trips and Shabs - try not to worry about the panic attacks, you'll just make more come, just let them wash over you. I get them too. I used to have anxiety and depression, just have the anxiety and depression now!

Trips - really, just be a bit unfit and eat the nuts - you need summat nice!

Well, DS is off school this time for the first time, not because of snow but because of a horrible ear infection which has been weeping furiously for 2 days! We're off to the doctor in an hour... Poor, poor DS. He's been so brave going to school all last week. I didn't realise it was so awful and kept telling him to put up and shut up! Hard mummy! He is sufferingly largely because he is the boy who cried wolf though I suppose! Lol...

Thank you

You are having a tough time Starshaker Have hope though. I met my dh just 4 years ago after my ex had just been discovered sleeping with the live in student for 6 months. I had 5 children.

I am happier than ever now and we have had 2 lovely dc since then!

He married te girl and they have a baby now, all water under the bridge.

Neenz you are a wealth of info!

Curiosity the twins sound very well behaved, you must crave a bot of time on your own though.

TrIPS AND sHABS maybe try some relaxation techniques. Get some tapes and satrt chanting

Am off OUT today Managed to move the car off the drive, 3 have gone back to school. Hoping the other 2 will follow tomorrow.

See ya later!

LG&T, mmmm choc fudge cake. You've actually put me in mind to make some brownies now - I have some green and blacks cooking choc in the cupboard that needs using up and am feeling a bit fed up that there are no treats in the house now christmas is over. I hope you enjoy your time out. We have horrible drizzly snow here so I'm staying inside nice and warm and dry.

Shabs and Trips, be kind to yourselves .

Curio, you loon! Get to bed and rest woman! And thank you, I am making bullet points on a pad as I think of them - dh and I are going to put something together later .

Bagpuss, that's great. Burying it all will do no good - get it all on paper, it will definitely help.

Curio, you are mad posting at 2am with 9wo DTs . Although I remember when my Dts started sleeping at night, I felt like a new person, it was great to not have to rush to bed as soon as they went to sleep.

Afternoon everyone,
I didn't manage to finish sorting out the bedroom yesterday, and don't worry i didn't lift anything heavy.

Instead i made some lovely chocolate chip cakes as it's DH birthday today, and cooked a yummy roast dinner and DD actually ate some too. Normally she throws it all over the kitchen floor!

There was a question that i was going to ask you all, but it has completely slipped from my mind!

Ha ha! I seriously didn't mean to still be up at 2am! I was in bed but it's what neenz said about not rushing to bed, then I got drawn into AIBU...

Sophie - Can we have some cookies please?

Momma - work boo! cold boo! Long time no proper posting booooo! How're ye?

Where's HM, I want some funny...

Well, the trip to the docs was... erm... interesting. Connor has antibiotics and is off school till next week! Ella's ears are fine and she is just bandwagon jumping. It is absolutely lethal on our pavements as it rained last night and froze then is sleeting now and freezing on the old snow which is now ice. The main roads are OK but all the pavements and side roads are frozen and slippy. We have been fine all last week but going to the docs I fell over, the older DCs cried and held on the pram for dear life and we got stuck in the middle of the road at one point! I couldn't push the pram up the ice because of the camber or pull it down. There was some bloke about to get in his car so I shouted to him for help but he just put his head down and left all 5 of us in the road!!! I had to wait for someone else to come and it was a lady with a little toddler and she pulled us over the top of the hill and onto the pavement! It is a 5 minute walk to the doctor and it took 20 mins. When we got there the car park was closed but some bloke in a taxi had gone in the out anyway and blocked the pedestrian ramp with his car. I asked him to let us past, since he wasn't even supposed to be there, because we had already missed one of the appointments but he just ignored me and made us wait behind his horrible polluting car on an ice sheet until he had gone in to get an old woman helped her down the stairs sat her in the cab and moved the car forward! Why does this weather make people so mean?! He could have just let us past before he went in to get her.

Anyway coming home we tried to find a good pavement to get back to our house but ended up all the way into town which was totally clear of ice so I took the opportunity to get the money for the boiler out of the bank and stock up on food and nappies snacks and treats. DD has not gone to nursery, she's not sick but I am not braving those pavements again!

Hopefully our snow will be gone soon bagpuss being that it's coming from the east and we are western and have the benefit of that lovely warm gulf stream...

Ha ha! Dylan is cooing at the toys on his bouncer again... He will never smile at me but treats those toys like he's never seen anything quite so amazing every hour or so! Lily is super smiley, they are just so different!

yes very different Jack is very selective who he gives affection to and when whereas Erin will take affection off anyone who has any to give - total opposites but on the same team (if that makes any sense!!)

Oo, Jack and Erin are nice names oooggs! Yeah, I don't know why it surprises me, Connor and Ella are very different. I suppose it's just that they are so little and they have always made completely different demands and behaved in completely different ways, I thought they'd influence each other more. Like maybe they'd wake each other up e.t.c.
