Sounds really bloody stupid, and its probably purely because everyone is winding me up that im carrying twins. But now i feel like i am!
Im 13 weeks (scan on the 5th Jan)but my belly is like a bloody 5 month pregnant woman. IT is my 2nd baby and yes the stomach muscles are sooo not what they were before DD. And i haven't scoffed my face, just eaten normally.

Am i being a complete pratt?!

I thought i might be going slightly mad as i am convinced that i am pg with twins. I am only 8 weeks but i am so exhausted. When i was pg with DD i was doing 3 horses a day and working as a waitress til 19 weeks and i was fine. Now i can't get up in the mornings, in bed before 9pm and was sick from 4 weeks.

Rationally i know it is unlikely, but i just have this sense iykwim?

Lou - I went off chocolate when I was pregnant with DS but not with DD - I wonder!

Alice - welcome to our madness!

lol alice join the line, i think we've started a bit of a hype.

peppapighastakenovermylife see now that is the more realistic thing that i am hoping for that it is because i am carrying a boy this time, and that the other things are all my imagination due to horrid relatives making me believe it!

I don't know if i have subconciously talked myself into it, because we said if it's twins we must get rid of the horses and buy a bigger house (and car) so whether it is just preparing myself for a huge upheaval

Peppa - were you on the slatterns thread?

peppapighastakenovermylife · 30/12/2009 12:14

No I don't think I was. I understand your reasoning - this is baby number three and is pushing it a bit as it is. If it were twins then the upheaval would be much bigger...

brockleybelle · 30/12/2009 12:15

peppapighastakenovermylife you must let us know after the scan!! there could well be two in there!

Alicehasamincepieintheoven · 30/12/2009 12:17

We have just replaced my car and when we were buying it i was strangly drawn to the Citroen Picasso I had just got my BFP the day before too....

Good luck. Colleague has just been staring at my stomach as I look quite scarily pregnant. I am hoping its bloating as have actually lost 10 pounds with sickness so I cant just be getting fat [grin. Waist band on jeans is getting too tight...

EEK!

Good luck!!!!

Congratulations on your pregnancies ladies. Peppapig I was BunOven on your evaporation thread! Great news - I'm rather jealous Since getting a BFN I've become obsessed with POAS every couple of weeks hoping for a positive - even though I'm on the pill. I just can't talk DH round.

Good luck tomorrow LouLouH - I'll be checking in to see how you got on.

I was convinced I was carrying twins but turns out there is only one baby in there.

peppapighastakenovermylife · 04/01/2010 14:27

Hi splitpea - very food related names going on there! We decided in possibly a moment of stupidity after finding out I wasnt pregnant that maybe we should try for DC3 . I am just hoping its only DC3!

It wasnt helped yesterday by my 3.5 year old DS informing my friend that I was having two babies (I havent mentioned pregnancy in front of him) !

I wonder if I am carrying twins. I have had bad morning sickness with my previous pregnancies, but it seems different this time. I am actually 'off food' this time and just don't fancy anything, whereas before I was sick but ravenous. I also have a very heavy feeling in my abdomen, odd crampy pains which I didn't really get before, and had strong implatation type pains which I also don't remember before. On top of which I am exhausted and feeling quite dizzy/ill if I stand for too long.

I did have a twin pregancy, my last pregnancy, although sadly made the decision to terminate as DS3 was onyl 3 months old and has Downs, so the future was very unclear at the time. Plus, I had takent he morning after pill and my GP told me they couldn't be sure it wouldn't have a negative effect on the babies. It's a decision I have regretted ever since and so I do wonder if I am just wishful thinking now. There are no twins in my family.

How did the scan go OP?

BikeRunSnowflake · 05/01/2010 11:01

A girl I know thought she was having twins before she had a scan. She is a GP and I guess she knew the symptoms. Twins can make you feel extremely sick in first trimester, as twice as many hormones about. I had hyperemesis and had a scan to look for twins at 9 weekss. Twas only one baby, but was still hideously ill for weeks and weeks. Goodness knows what twins would have done to me.

GibberingGinger · 05/01/2010 13:39

I'm REALLY curious, how many did the scan show you are carrying?

peppapighastakenovermylife · 05/01/2010 13:52

I know - I WANT AN ANSWER!!

SplitPea · 05/01/2010 16:27

Me too!

peppapighastakenovermylife · 05/01/2010 16:32

Maybe its triplets and she is still in shock

acatcalledfidget · 06/01/2010 14:36

LouLouH - was everything okay? x

SplitPea · 06/01/2010 16:10

Hi LouLouH - hope all is well x

decafgirl · 06/01/2010 16:30

Come on Loulou!

I faithfully promise you can get twin insurance - I just googled it! I have no idea how they know you haven't had a scan but it's true!

Hope you're all well ladies xx
