Brilliant! You must be delighted. Do you know if they're identical or non-identical? I suppose the difference in dates is down to the machine calculating it by size is it? I was the smaller twin, so I feel a kind of camaraderie with smaller twins

hannibal they're non-identical. we did I.V.F. this was our 2nd attempt. i know theres only a few days between them according to the scans but we're still very cautious until the O.H. gets through the first tremister which i'm happy to say wont be to far off. we're well i'm over the moon. the pregnancy still hasn't hit K yet. we've been working on this for a long time that in a way K still cant believe shes preg with twins and i'd say it'll be a while yet before this hits home.

Aw that's perfectly understandable. Fingers and toes crossed that she gets over the 12 week line safely.

It's funny how slowly the weeks pass when you're trying to get passed different stages of pregnancy isn't it? One week feels like a month. You never realise how nerve racking it all is. Best of luck with the scan in two weeks.

:mad: I'm so mad, I've just had a work colleague directly ask me if I'm pregnant :eek: This one is an as*hole at the best of times and she literally stopped me on the corridor (with other office doors wide open) and blatantly asked me.

She's the type that'll spend the next 6 months crowing to everyone that she had me sussed. I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction and lied through my teeth! (then felt awful for denying it-like I was jinxing it) I'll have to just make sure she's literally the last to know, grrrrr if it was anyone else but her :mad:

Twins.......i just never even imagined it as a possibility!!!!:D:eek::D

Dublinlady congratulations!!! You're not going to believe this but there must be something in the air. I went in for my 7 week scan this morning and was told the very same thing.....IT'S TWINS:D:D

My husband and I are still in a state of shock but so unbelievably happy. We were worried that we wouldn't even be able to have one baby and now we get two:eek:. I just want to tell the world but it's amazing how my conscience keeps stopping me because I just don't want to jinx anything.

rylie · 08-07-2011 12:41pm

Eh lads there's definitely something in the water- I'm expecting twins as well :eek:

dublinlady · 08-07-2011 12:47pm

OMG!!!! thats mental!! How far is everyone along? im 8 weeks this weekend with another scan on monday week (at nine weeks) to make sure the slightly smaller baba is growing as its meant to be!
How u guys feeling? Im feeling good really, no real sickness to report, just some indigestion, my boobs are killing me and im v.tired but other than that nothing really?! Just lucky i hope! I keep thinking it will kick in any day...but getting further and further and no sign!
I think ive only started getting used to the idea of twins, for the last 5 days ive just been in a confused daze! Its pretty overwhelming!!! Im so so happy tho, i dont want to take them for granted for a second! Now i know theres two in there id do anything i could just to make sure they're safe and healthy!!

rylie · 08-07-2011 2:23pm

Hi dublinlady! I'm 10weeks 3 days today. I've another scan in 2 weeks as one twin is also smaller and has some fluid on their brain so we're going to have a detailed scan to see whats up. Bit worrying but I'm not going to dwell on it for now.

Symptom wise I'm just exhausted, I cannot believe I'll have 3 kids under 2.5 come January!!!!!

Cottontail · 08-07-2011 3:39pm

I'm 16 weeks today. I woke up last night and felt the little flutters of the baby, it was lovely!

MiMi P · 08-07-2011 7:17pm

God the week has flown by!!! We had our 12 week scan on Wednesday and it was amazing.... baby was very active and could see hands, feet and spine all very clearly. It's crazy to see all that movement and not feel anything. We heard the heartbeat as well which was very reassuring:D We told our neighbours that evening, both sets are parents of young children and good friends and they were so excited for us. It made evrything seem more real and was all very reassuring. I think I am starting to get over my "this is too good to be true, something is going to go wrong" phase and am really looking forward to the next 27 weeks;) Was asked about antenatal classes at the docs..... hadn't even though that far ahead!!

Red-B · 09-07-2011 10:26am

Hi Rylie and Dublinlady. I'm only 6 weeks so still very early for me. I have to go back in on monday week for another scan as they'll have grown a lot since and we'll be able to see a lot more.
Only since i've been for my scan i've been feeling very sick but not actually getting sick. It was so bad I couldn't even sleep so I put lavender on my pillow last night and slept like a log:)
Telling our parents this weekend so it'll be good to get people's excitement rubbed off on us.
Have any of you told many people yet?

red fraggle · 09-07-2011 2:39pm

im sooo stupid!!:mad: i just got a shock from my dogs electric fence collar. it was charging and i picked it up to wipe under it. it would have only been a 12v shock but ive called caredoc and waiting for nurse to ring me back. im sure if ive done damage theres nothing i can do. im so mad. had 13 week scan yesterday and saw babys heartbeat and it was bobbing up and down. i was really relaxed and so happy then i do this stupid thing. could it really have hurt the baby? as soon as it shocked me i dropped it. it only hurt my hand and ive no burn marks. feck. wish that nurse would ring back!!!

went to doc. couldnt find heartbeat but he did reassure me that everythin is fine and it is highly unlikely that such a small shock would hurt the baby as it is very well protected. i feel much more relaxed now.

have appt with gyne next week so ill run it by them aswell.

Oh I hear you on the nausea! Bleugh it's rotten, if I get even a little bit hungry I feel like puking! We've told everyone, figured I'm nearly at the 12 week mark and it's just so exciting we have to share!
Still in shock today, twins!!! My goodness!

Hi red fraggle I hope you're ok- must have been worrying.

your gona find out? is it your first baby? we're not gona find out. we want the surprise!

Cottontail · 12-07-2011 2:38pm

it's my second. We found out the first time as well. It was so exciting finding out, and it really made me see the baby as a little person who was my son, it helped me bond with him before he was born. It didn't take any excitement from when he was actually born, it was great actually meeting him for the first time. I spent months imagining what he would look like!

We found out last time as well, I was so happy I did. I completely agree Cottontail, it helped me bond with baby rylie and I felt so much closer to him! Will definitely find out again, we know these little ones are identical so they'll either be 2 boys or 2 girls!!

red fraggle · 12-07-2011 5:23pm

yeh i can see why finding out would be exciting aswell. im fairly certain we wont find out tho. whenever i would have thought about being pregnant i would never have thought of finding out. its mad isnt it? everyone knows pretty much exactly what they want to do. find out or not.:D hope my appt tomorrow goes well. i know i wont be getting a scan but id love to try hear the heartbeat tho i know its hard to find at 13 weeks.:)

Don't know whether to find out or not my partner wants to find out some days I do some days I don't think I will just wait till scan day and see then. He says he can find out and not tell me but I cant imagine this would last long im sure one day or another I'd be begging him to tell me

Quins5 · 13-07-2011 9:06pm

Hi ladies
Havent been on in days! We had our scan monday CUMH and it was amazing!

:D:D
We were in and out in 2 hours, we were seen almost straight away and had a scan, saw the baby hopping around moving arms and legs and the nurse pointed out the bones of the skull, the spine his/her little stomach in its tummy

After that we went back and waited for about 10mins and were called into see the midwife who spent almost 45 mins chatting to us, it was great!
I know we were obviously lucky with the early appointment (8am

) but I couldnt fault them. (we're going public)

14 weeks now woooohoooooo!
Due to go to GP in 3 weeks then back to the CUMH to meet the Consultant 3 weeks later during wk 20
Hope you are all keeping well

purejuice · 14-07-2011 2:32pm

Hi everyone Im 11 weeks pregnant and due on the 1st of February, first baby for myself and my partner. Have my scan on the 28th July so cant wait to finally have that but nervous as well. Have been very nausea since 7weeks, starting to ease off a little now even though I do heave a lot some mornings, still getting up in the night to go the toilet and feel so tired throughout the day but finally crossed once the 2nd trimester hits I will be feeling great and back to my normal self.

Cottontail · 14-07-2011 3:44pm

Hi Purejuice (at first I thought it was prunejuice

)

congrats on your pregnancy! the nausea is horrible!! Good luck with the scan, mine is in August and I'm really looking forward to it. it's a really exciting time, especially on your first!

red fraggle · 16-07-2011 6:10pm

14 weeks and 1 day!

nausea easing a bit but only realised this when i thought back to how bad it was a month ago. still wrecked tired but had a long week in work and it wont be over til monday at 10am and then a week off. wohoo! some nights ive to get up and pee and some i dont. hope everyone is feeling well

MiMi P · 16-07-2011 9:33pm

Hi All, 14 weeks today, nausea is definitely better but very tired this weekend, went back to the gym this week so have been swimming and walking and long days at work - so perhaps that's why. I have a slight pain all day today in my abdomen... kinda feels like a pulled muscle... little bit worried over it.... could also be due to stomack probs.... I seem to have bad gas issues... probably due to IBS... also scales says I'm up 3 lbs this week which I'm a bit concerned about.... seems too much seing as I've been training and watching the diet

...... Anyone else having these probs??? Just looking for a little reassurance I suppose.....

Hiya,
well im only 9 weeks (but with twins

) so not sure im going to be any help, but the tiredness is completely normal, it comes and goes for me, some days its there, and some its not. i would say to try take it a little easier maybe, while exercise is good, maybe break yourself in gently rather than doing too much at the start, as at this stage in pregnancy even just going to work can be a struggle tiredness wise!! I totally have gas issues aswell :eek: I believe its down to the pregnancy hormones relaxing the bowels a bit and also it seems to be instead of nausea for me! Your at the stage where you will start putting weight on, just remember that weight gain isnt always consistant, as in while you might think it should be a pound a week or so, it might happen that you put on 3 one week and none the next two, its just more about the overall picture

Pregnancy is different for everyone so if you have any real concerns no harm is asking your doctor?
Hopefully that reassured you a little tho?

MiMi P · 16-07-2011 11:34pm

Thanks dublinlady.... what you've posted is what I've been telling myself, just more reassuring to hear from someone else:D Twins....must be very exciting... I'm still only getting used to actually being pregnant... we were told we would have issues and got pregnant first time without really trying:) I think I was more prepared to deal with the disappointments rather than the news of pregnancy.....

dublinlady · 16-07-2011 11:37pm

yeah its v.exciting, but at the same time im holding myself back from getting too excited yet... have a scan on monday which should hopefully (fingers and toes crossed!!) reassure me, at the moment its still a little hard to have faith in it...but ill try!!
Enjoy your pregnancy and just be glad it happened quickly, i was 15 months and a miscarraige waiting for this chance, and i firmly believe that it will only happen when its right for you! It was obviously right for you straight away, which is only a very good thing!!!:D:D

hi!

im also 14 weeks and some days have pains in my abdomen and cramps. i also have ibs so im pretty sure thats what my pains are as well as the 'growing' pains. also why i have alot of extra gas!!!:o i havnt been weighing myself but gona buy a scales this week to keep an eye on it. midwife said i was very skinny so hope i wont have a prob putting the weight on. im not as interested in sweet stuff anymore but i think it might come back. is there anything specific you avoid in your diet. i really havnt a clue. eating in moderation is what im at. might consult my doc in next while.

Cottontail · 18-07-2011 10:09am

has any one noticed that they are itchy? I know it's just the skin stretching but I don't remember it being this itchy last time, it's really annoying!

dublinlady · 18-07-2011 1:39pm

Hey guys,
Well we have one healthy baby, but sadly we have miscarried one baby

It's awful... Don't really know how to feel, one baby showed 9 weeks with strong heart rate of 176bpm but the other was just 7 weeks 4 days and no heartbeat. They said I should go on to carry my one baby and may not even have any bleeding or sign or miscarriage, we just have to hope the healthy one is a fighter I suppose. It's just so hard to go from pregnant, to pregnant with twins, back to one. My heads all over the place. I have pics of both babies, it's horrible to see the little one there with nothing I can do to help it. Apparently it will just vanish...

it's my belly that's itchy. I suppose I'll have to get the bio oil out too, although I'm dreading the smell of it after the last time!

doubletrouble? · 19-07-2011 2:09pm

just back from another scan. all went well. he has the buddies at 13wks+4 days. BPD ( some measurement around the head) 25-26mm. we got to see the skeleton out line of one of them and it was truly amazing to see whats growing inside K.
dublinlady we're sorry to hear about one of the twins, you have our words and prayers and always remember that those here are in for the long haul together as one big net family.
