Hi there
I am the mother of a 4 year old and 8 weeks pregnant with twins living in Milton Keynes. Only found out last week. We went to the early pregnancy scan bracing for the worst as I have had 4 miscarriages only to be shocked, surprised, delighted with two gestational sacs and two heartbeats! No IVF, all natural with no twins in either family.
I have tried to not get too excited given the past history but I can't! How will my little boy react when I tell him? How will wider friends and family react? How will I decorate their room? How the hell will I survive? Constant thoughts through my head that I simply can't stop.
The symptoms have been way more accentuated than my first. All day nausea and extreme tiredness. I don't want to announce it until I am sure everything is ok with 12 week scan. At the same time I have a very demanding job, so not quite sure how I can hide it for another month!
Questions for other twin mums out there:
- Have you given birth in either MK Hospital, Luton or Lister? How was your experience? I am worried that they don't have specialist multiple birth care in MK hospital which is where I am registered at the moment
- Has anyone had high level of neutrophils in their bloods while pregnant? I am annoyed that both that and level of B12 were abnormal and GP or midwife never contacted me. I found out checking my results and finally seeing a GP after a week of trying to get an appointment and a night of cold sweats and morning of extreme tiredness
- if anyone is also pregnant with twins in the MK area, I would love to meet up!
Thanks for reading my super long post
