First Time Pregnancy (2)

[mrsjkerry]

Hi girls

Have made a new thread here xx

Ahhh thanks @ew1990. I'm a size 18-20 (currently more 20 to 22) but have been told I hide my weight well - even the midwife said the same which was comforting. I'm worried that having extra in my tummy area means that I won't feel the baby kick when everyone else would expect too and struggle to hear the heart beat if I get a machine for home. Will hopefully be ok though. Trying to stay positive x

@mrsjkerry I would say that's definitely a nice little bump coming along there x

I've got a funny back/ pelvis so it's been easy for years for me to stick belly out and look fat/ pregnant. Now I'm trying not to do it but definitely clothes are tighter anyway and I'm only 8+2!! I tried on summer clothes today whilst complaining about being fat and eating Easter eggs at the same time! When will I learn lol?! Nice to see all these bumps, you all look lovely :-)

None of my clothes fit me anymore, I don't own any jeans now I wear dresses and tights so gunna have to get some loose dresses, I'm only 10+4 it's just my hips have gone so much wider everything's too tight x

I'm 15+1 and my bumps been like a yo yo this week (joys of twins!). My jeans are definitely tighter now and there's definitely an uncomfortable obstacle in the way of adult time in the bedroom.
Just feeling more a stretchy pull feeling than movements at the moment. Although lefty is definitely more a fidget than righty.

I even got a personalised Easter egg from them, aren't they clever!!

@MSH2010 did you ever get a feeling you were having twins? It's always something I've thought I might be having. Will find out in 10 days but everywhere I look there is something relating to twins and met loads of people who have had twins. I'm also mid 30s (and hubby is late 30s) which increases your chances. It could all be my imagination but there's a chance I guess xx

MrsB I had a random feeling one day around 8 weeks but brushed it off.

My husband is a twin but unfortunately his brother didn't make it as they were both very prem.

But apparently it's more common from the mother's side although my mum says there have been twins in our family it's not a family member I know of.

Ours are in separate sacs too which is more likely double eggs so down to me rather than hubby.

Always knew it would happen as there's major issues between me and my in laws so it was bound to happen to add more salt to the broken relationship.

Oh no. Hopefully your inlaws are giving you both the support you need x

@MSH2010 how did you feel when you found out it was twins? Did you have an early scan because you had a hunch?

I have a strong history of multiple births in my family - I like the idea of twins but think it'd cause some issues with my family too.

Fingers crossed for a healthy baby - and if there's a second that's a bonus!

Lyndangel I'm not going to lie, I actually found out at the clinic as I wasn't ready for kids, but it woke me up and made me realise no-one is ever fully prepared.

@MSH2010 so you mean clinic as in, that sort of clinic? I know how you feel, I don't feel ready at all despite being 34, and I keep thinking of all the countries I wanted to visit and now won't get the chance for a long long time. However I am equally eternally grateful that I have conceived and wish beyond all hopes for a happy healthy baby. I do believe it will be lifechanging and I also believe that no one ever feels ready! Good luck to you and your twin bump! Xx

I never ever considering abortion, especially as my husband and I were trying for a few months - it was most certainly wanted.

However, when the going got tough weeks ago (sickness, hospitalisation etc) I've doubted myself. Am I good enough/strong enough to deal with this? Do I want a baby enough to go through all this? Is there something wrong with me because I'm thinking all this? Everyone's different but I don't think you'd be human if you had some concerns somewhere. @lydiangel83 I too think about the holidays and travelling I could have done and realise life was fun just my husband and I!

Unfortunately yes that sort of clinic, but in actual fact I think I just needed to speak to someone. I came away in shock of the news but felt seriously refreshed apart a good 20minute chat.
The position between me and my in laws has always been a huge weight on my shoulders and not a place I wanted to bring kids into. But like the lady I spoke to put my mind at rest and told me that the ball is in my court. It's my pregnancy my children nothing can change that. They want to continue to exclude me from everything and treat me like they do then they'll be the ones thatll miss out

@MSH2010 I think it's very brave of you, wow twins! I'm scared of delivering one never mind two xx

Ew1990 I'm wimping out and opting for a c section. I don't want to run any risks of issues following my husband's history. I've spoken to my doctor and he's supportive over it. Hoping to speak to my midwife at my 16week apt next Tuesday

It's not wimping out! Your having two of them, and you've got to recover from a c section, I'm too much of a wimp to have a c section, I nearly have panic attacks when I think about labour, I cried when I had period pains xx

@MSH2010 good for you for being strong and you're right, if they want to be dicks and ignore you then they will miss out. I'd personally put them on a ban. Your babies don't need that negativity in their lives. What does your partner say about it?x

Unfortunately mrsB he sits on the fence. So I've thrown my toys out the pram. Especially as I'm being made to go round there for her birthday this week yet I didn't even get a text on my 30th birthday last month.

Sorry to rant and moan on here but thank you ladies it's been appreciated. Definitely feeling alot calmer xx

Moan and rant all you want I'm sure there will be a day when I come on here to have a right good rant x

@MSH2010 feel free to vent on here. What better place to get an opinion from people who are completely removed from your situation. You're str ne'er than I am. I'd refuse to go x

Girls I know youse won't read this till tomorrow but just want reassurance and I just feel like everytime I stop worrying something happens, just dtd with other half, had pink discharge afterwards? Sorry if tmi but this is the first time I've been on top since I've been pregnant and think I went ermm a little too hard? 😳 totally embarrassed to say that but oh well x

@ew1990 that sounds very normal from everything I've read

Yes ditto @ew1990 I'd only worry if discharge continued. My DH is too afraid to DTD for fear of harming baby!!!

@lydiangel83 my husband and I decided to wait until 12 weeks too! So silly 😄

Well we've only done it a couple of times felt more comfortable coz of scan Saturday but this has put me right off, it's just gunna be another 7 1/2 months of worry isn't it xxx
