New thread.

this is the only link I could find Holly.

Biggest babies show is car crash tv and is making me ! It is pretty much saying that if you have a big baby you are a big fatty and eat junk food! I am not a big fatty and rarely eat junk food. Grrrr.....

Daisy, do you think you are immanent? How exciting!

Evening everyone else!

Yep Sputnik, thanks. There is a multiples thread I've posted on that's more for those pg with twins but has a couple of posters there who already have their babies so is helpful & Mars always in & out too . Looked @ the 'd'ye ever...' thread but it moves at such a pace I can't hope to keep up. Prob should do some research through the archives.

night lovely

I can understand that tallulah. One of our women is expecting twins and twin 1 is head down and twin 2 transverse and they have said she can have a natural delivery. I assumed from that that once twin 1 is delivered, twin 2 will turn themselves?

hi sputnik....I found your email from the other day; it was in my spam folder!

I think I would do the same tallulah. Imagine going through a vaginal birth and then having a cs as well. It would be awful. Hopefully they are both behaving and you can have a lovely VB! Sorry if I've missed it, but do you know the sexes?

Yeah Daisy I read that they will let you labour naturally then they will try to turn 2nd twin after you have given birth to first.OUCH. If that fails then it's section time. I just thought no way. Unless both head down I don't want to go for it.

Hosp policy not to tell the sex. But I will keep looking carefully at each scan. Yeah, imagine how painful to have to recover from both type of birth at once. I think I can only cope with pain in one part of my body at a time.

Tummy pain and fanjo pain would not be good! So lots of white baby grows in your house then?!

Haven't bought a thing yet. Still got all DD's stuff, & the early baby stuff is pretty much unisex though probably don't enough for 2. Can't face shopping though.

Sounds like a lot to think about T. Have you spoken to your MW about the birth? Hope you are feeling ok.

Daisy you need to stop teasing us!

JBM I haven't got engorged at all yet, but it has only been a couple of weeks since I have been FT and she has been feeding on and off. Jammy said that when she stopped it was a couple of weeks before she got engorged, was that right?

I didn't get engorged at all when I stopped feeding dd at about 14 months. I was down to 1 feed a day anyway and stopping didn't affect me at all (well apart from the fact that I felt reasonably human again after over a year of monthly tonsillitis!)

Yes daisy, we don't want to know about any twingey pains until they are 30 secs long and 5 mins apart, ok?!

Hi Bumper. Haven't spoken to m/w - last hosp appt was supposed to have antenatal check, & had list of qusts. Appt @ 1:30, still hadn't been seen when was time for scan appt elsewhere in hosp @ 3pm. By the time that was over was 4pm, had a very grumpy DD with me & my poor mum so gave up & went home. So feeling pretty much in the dark. Hopefully this week's appt goes better & I get a clearer picture of what they expect to happen.

BTW, when DD decided to go cold turkey from 2-3 feeds a day I didn't get engorged at all. Think was only making milk as and when she suckled.

Tallulah, that is rubbish making you wait for so long. I'm not surprised you gave up.

That's crap Tallulah

tallulah, I have some unisex newborn stuff that will probably be too small for virgil, including some white terry babygros and a stack of vests. I'll send some stuff up for you

Have they talked about possible CS dates with you yet?

It'scos it's the hosp clinic. I would really rather go to my community m/w team or just see my GP. But I am under consultant led care cos of the twin thing & all the scans. Is a PITA - feel am getting worse care in a way. I haven't seen a m/w yet.

Really tallulah? That would terrify me. I would trust a mw with my life, not so much doctors! Is there any way you can request to be under mw care?

what crap service tallulah . I would've thought they would have done shared care?....and i thought glasgow were quite good for maternity services?

Thanks Daisy - would appreciate, but wait & see, you forget how small they are really.

No one has discussed anything with me yet. Closest was this conv. with consultant:

Her - did you have normal, trouble-free delivery last time?
Me- Yes, no problems.
Her - Well be a bit of a different story this time around.

Have to have scan at each appt afaik so m/w team don't have facilities & hosp run twin clinic so see all multiples on same afternoon. Everyone needing scans, extra monitoring etc, it's chaos.

That doesn't fill you with confidence does it tallulah? Blimey! Surely twins is a normal occurrence and not some sort of unusual medical condition?!

I should be finished with newborn stuff before you give birth though, and according to the registrar I saw, baby is a "good size"

Yep - doesn't really fill with confidence to be treated as high risk from outset. Still it does mean I get scans galore whilst everyone else gets one 12 week booking scan and that's that so some perks.

It must be lovely to get to say hello to your babies so often! Are they ID?

Thanks Daisy - yep sure do hope I don't need any newborn stuff for a least a couple of months. And sounds like Virgil keen to make an appearance
