please do stick around if you want.
lucie sorry you're feeling rubbish. Definitely take the drugs. Yes you need the 12w scan as they're not just taking a nuchal fold measurement, they'll also look to see that the heart is developing properly etc. But if you've had the all clear from panorama then you don't need to worry about what that scan shows you from the POV of the trisomies.
boris you are almost there! I know what you mean about counting down. I can't believe I'm 30w. There's a real baby inside me. He's coming. It's a bit overwhelming and emotional.
to everyone else. Hope you're all doing well.
AFM I am currently sat here jet lagged on my last work trip to the US. It is getting much heavier going through the airport, sleeping on the plane etc - plus am up at stupid o clock jet lagged and can't take anything. Ready to hang up my wings next week!
Ps I had my baby moon for a 5 day weekend 10 days ago - we ended up going to Spain. For those of you behind me I HIGHLY recommend doing something like this. The weather was perfect - 25c so not too hot but the sea was still warm so I swam every day. It was super relaxing at a time when I'm starting to slow down. Plus tanning the bump was ace and it looks awesome brown!
Lovely news about your girls, Sammy. Bet it's starting to feel quite real now.
30 weeks, stealth! Holy crap. It's seems mere seconds ago you accidentally poas way before you should have. 
You're absolutely on the countdown now. Glad to hear you'll be slowing down on the work front, too. Can't imagine how you've managed all that travel over the months while also feeling sick. Hero.
Afm, currently on babymoon too and totally agree it's ace. Am just over 23 weeks so despite it also being half term (bugger) it felt like the right time to get away in terms of size and mobility. Amazing to have some sunshine and time off work to lie around reading and eating relax. We're in Cyprus and also highly recommend - four hour flight, no zika, 24-27 degrees with balmy evenings and good medical care if required.
Hope everyone else is doing well- good luck for the 12w scan* and harmony, lucie.*
Thank you everyone!
My nuchal test took ages too as twin 2 was in an awkward position! I had to get up and jump around a bit which is really hard when you need a wee and feel sick! Lol.
In other news my belly button has gone weird. I think it's going to turn in to an outy soon 
Lol to the hunger Lucie! Yes yes yes. It's the only time I've ever felt sick and hungry at the same time
And middle of the night munchies!!!
Zenzie - fair enough, we feel the same about 4d scans. We want what they look like to be a surprise!
