Hovering in the berrycopter: nervous elderberries, sickness reports and backwards scan photos!

[Boomgoestheweasel]

Open to all elderberry grads and anyone who fits the berry criteria: over 30, first trimester(ish) with #1 after trying for a long time, and nervous as hell. Come on in for handholding and nub theory!

Where is boom?

Boom???

I'm here, I'm here - sorry, had to get back from Leeds and there were roadworks!

Two happy babies jiggling around with nice normal heartbeats . Measuring 10+1 today so put me forward again by 3 days. So unbelievably relieved! Will try and get some photos up soon

Hooray hooray hooray!

Now I can get some work done

who am I kidding

Hmm, well I tried but every time I upload a new picture it overrides all my others! So there are 3 pictures of Twin 2 up at the moment. Random!

Ahh look at that!

Will you find out the sexes?

wonderful news boom!!!

Phew sigh of relief. Great news!

Boom I know nothing little about twins. Can they tell yet if they're identical or not? Is it something to do with the number of sacs / placentas???

Thank you everyone, still can't believe everything's actually ok!

Merk you can't tell. If they're sharing a placenta/sac then they're definitely identical, but if they aren't (these ones aren't) they could be either. It's likely they're non-identical though, because the Clomid probably made me chuck out two eggs at once. But if they're both the same sex and look similar when they're born, it could be a guessing game for a few weeks until it's obvious!

Thunder not sure yet, I don't want to but Mr Boom does. I like surprises! I think I'll win the argument eventually, but he's grumbling about it at the moment.

great news boom

kitty guess who was awake at 2am last night!!!

tired today and still ridiculously thirsty which in turn is making me wee a lot!

feeling a little more confident now about things and hav swapped my pregnacare conception for pregnacare plus cos it has fish oil to give it a good little brain and eyes!!

Glad you're feeling more confident puppy! I find it goes in peaks and troughs, some days I'm ok and some days I scuttle around under a thundercloud of doom. Hopefully today's scan will dissipate the cloud somewhat!

Have managed to get pics of both boombabies up I think. I even have a backwards one to keep thunder company!

boom been thinking about you all day! Sooooo glad it went well! Love the pics!!!! Made me even more excited about my scan next Tuesday in 10 years

puppy ah well at least we have that as a symptom! Still feeling mostly fine here with exception of slightly sore boobs. Tmi but the brown discharge has stopped woop woop!

I'm looking for the elusive glow, has anyone seen in? I am COVERED in spots including on my cheek grr baby hormones and me are not compatible it seems

Not sure about the glow...I'm definitely not in possession of it. Just fatness and greed. Just ate 4 hard boiled eggs with salt

No glow here. Feel like shit and look similar.

ENDS

Boom now v jealous of your hard boiled eggs

They were awesome. Now I feel sick though.

Bleugh @ hard boiled eggs! If they're not soft and poached I'm just not going to bother!

What, even warm hard boiled eggs dipped in salt? Heathen...!

Eurgh no! Need to be runny or not at all! Looks like I'm just going to have to have bacon for breakfast at the weekend!

Scrambled? Scrambled is ok

Just sticking my head in to say Hurrah! for Boom's scan...and wow it is busy in the Berry helicopter...you must start making your way over to the Antenatal thread soon, we are all very nice!

Give me another three weeks and one more scan and I'll think about it quod!
