!
I'm totally shattered since last wknd. Glad I can tell people why. I feel like a couch potato but I've a really long commute so come the weekend I dont feel up for much!! Meeting friends for an early meal tonight, hopefully can stay awake
Decided to go private for a few reasons so meeting consultant for first time this Friday. Hoping for another scan!!! Twins were not v co operative last wk so be nice to get another peek at them.
Been telling people at work this week, lovely reactions. It's nice not having to hide it anymore.0 -

Isn't it? It's so nice to be able to tell people, babies are just such joyous things Hopefully you do get a scan at your appointment so you can have another look at the twins, just to prove there is two in there!!
I'm dying for christmas too. In a way getting pregnant in September is good timing because you have the reward of time off at Christmas for getting through your first trimester!
Glad I'm not the only one with weird dreams - it must be a pregnancy thing (like everything else going on with me).0 -
yup i had vivid dreams alot at the start 6-9 weeks but i think im just getting used to them now. Bizzare odd dreams! And im glad to say that my sex drive is coming back
I feel so much better today the antibiotics have kicked in. 0 -
My morning sickness is back
Serves me right for being so pleased with myself that it had almost gone away. I'm back to puking everything, including fluids up and generally feeling like ****. It was the weirdest thing, one day I felt better and was normal for a few days another day I wake up and I'm constantly nauseous and vomiting again. Trying my best to pretend it's not happening!
Hope everyone else is well and sickness is on the wane all round 0 -

That is crap Murdywurdy, Well hopefully the last few days are a sign of things to come at least it's the weekend now so just try take it easy
I'm the same Lynda18 with the pains it was kind of freaking me out and then I read up on it and they say it's stretching pains which I suppose does make sense, I just don't like to feel any kind of pain as it terrifies me!
Other than that I just have constipation and a few spots on my chest and back which are very annoying, I'm lashing on the oil all over my body as I'm terrified of getting stretch marks!
I feel so proud of myself this week I scrubbed my house from top to bottom (Haven't had the energy or desire to do it the last few weeks) and I defo feel better for doing that, I think my mind is cleansed now ha!
Happy Friday everybody 0 -
Oooh, well done on cleaning your house, maybe your second trimester energy is kicking in? My place is not looking great, my husband is good but he doesn't have the same standards as me
Lynda - the veiny boobs are weird, aren't they? Mine look like a motorway map. I have big enough boobs anyway so them getting bigger is weird! I read the pains are ligaments stretching because of your expanding uterus. I think most pregnant women find them a bit scary, especially on your first.
Yeah, the sickness coming back sucks but I'd rather have had 5 days off then been sick the whole time, I got a few meals into me which takes a bit of worry away about nutrients and things. Fingers crossed it will go again soon. I think the weekend will help. I'll take it easy tomorrow.0 -

Hopefully that's what it is and not just a phase cause my oh wouldn't be great for cleaning either ( I don't even like the way he stacks the dishwasher ha)
Would you be able to keep veg soup down or something like that?
Im actually surprised at how quick the last 13 weeks have went for me considering i found out so early, Have they went quick for everyone else?0 -
I'm still sick every night, 11 weeks now, yay, and my first appointment is on the 21st, hopefully will have a scan soon after that!! xcited but just not feeling great... ever.. haha.. See to be really cheerful though, apart from every now and again... So I suppose it could be worse... My boyfriend said something great to me earlier and I want to share it with all of yous...
"You're doing an extremely important thing, you are the only one who can hold our baby right now,... it loves you instinctively and will grow to love me. You are the most important thing to me and this baby, and that's the greatest thing we have in common... Your body is catering to its every need, without you, it couldnt be here. Remember right now, you're everything to me, and it!"
I hope this makes anyone feel better, especially during tough times... it doesn't wanna make us sick... it just doesn't really know how to share yet;)

Aww, sweet I feel guilty for making my mum so sick (she lost over 2 stone with me :eek:) but she says I was worth it, even 30 years later so I try to remember that.
I might try soup for lunch, the canteen at work does lovely food. I haven't vomited since before I left the this morning so that's a good three hours which is pretty good!0 -

I have a little bump - a small rounded stomach but it's only because I lost a good bit of weight through illness. I think you wouldn't see anything if it wasn't for that. Some days it's bigger than others but it's really hard which is weird!0 -

Hi al
Great to hear how you are all doing. Murdy, that is crap your sickness is back but hopefully it'll die down soon.
Jennii that is such a lovely comment, so true. Sorry to hear you're still sick too, it should pass soon.
We had first appt with ob/gyn yesterday, I'm going privately now. She was fantastic. She has a lot of experience with multiples overseas. We had another scan, either it was more detailed than our first one or those twins of mine have grown a lot in 10 days!!! We were looking at all the vertebrae in their spines, their hands and feet were wiggling away. One of them has spread him/herself right out in there. But all looks good for now which is very reassurring. There are more risks with identical twins (share the one placenta) so she's going to scan me every two weeks from now on (I'm 14+6).
I had been feeling huge (already in maternity pants) but she said all the weight is baby (babies), no fat at all which is good to hear. And she wants me to have put on 20lbs by 20 weeks :eek: Aand I have to take extra vitamins and take it easier exercise-wise (I did some jogging in the gym and felt great) but apparently it's back to walking for me.
I managed to clean downstairs yesterday so going to tackle upstairs today. My OH's intentions are great but it takes him a few days to get around to jobs and then doesn't do them quite like me. But he tries I feel like the house is never tidy anymore but I think it's just been more of an effort.
At least it's the weekend Enjoy everyone x 0 -

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and was able to pretend to drink in front of friends, if necessary! I've been a bit of a pukemonster so was feeling a bit sorry for myself today. My family came over for dinner which was a good thing, it made me get up and get dressed and do some cooking and I was actually not too bad. Think the sickness will be around for another few weeks but hopefully won't be as bad as it has been. Just two weeks until Christmas, just two weeks... it's keeping me going
Everyone knows about the baby now and it's so nice to have it out there - no secrets from anyone!0 -

Krankykitty yeah pilates would be great for pregnancy i tried to find somewhere in my location that does it but the nearest place to me is 20miles away and they do pregnancy yoga so im gona try that in january. I think the auld pelvic floor muscles need to be strengthened alot. :rolleyes:
Antenatal classes whats everyones thoughts on it? i was offered some in the hospital but its 6 classes and an hours drive from me. Then theres one in my town and its €300!!!!:eek: which i thought was a bit much0 -

I just booked mine with the hospital. They're free if you go during the day or €80 if you want to go in the evenings with your partner. We decided it was worth paying the €80 so we're booked in to start them in March. They last for 6 weeks. we both work nearish the hospital though so that suits us. €300 is a lot of money - if it were me I'd just drive the hour to the hospital!
I'm not sure what to do with pregnancy yoga/pilates. I hate all that stuff and I know I'd be miserable doing the classes. Everyone talks about them strengthening you though and I'm not very fit so I feel like I need to do something.0 -

Feeling like ****e today Fell asleep at 7pm last night and woke up at 7.30am this morning and still feel exhausted and really nauseous. I could have slept longer if the alarm hadn't gone off. Not sure if I should be concerned or if that's completely normal. I would have loved to have stayed home today but made myself get up and come into work.
Urgh - let's hope the day goes quickly so I can go back to bed!
How's everyone else feeling today?0 -

Had my scan yesterday - so exciting! And we told our family and friends last night - all very real now
Baby was kicking mad on the monitor - funny little thing!
Aww - congrats! It must be lovely to be able to tell everyone. Glad everything is well!
I booked in for another private scan on Saturday. I want to see what they say about the dates. I'm still ill and losing weight and we think we need to raise it with my doctor but if I'm a week earlier than I think I am then I'm not 13 weeks yet so still in the first trimester. Doc will only be interested in sickness that goes on much longer than first trimester so I feel like I need to get a more accurate date - so I know whether to worry or not. I'm looking forward to seeing baby again:)0 -

Hey Murdywurdy my hubbie sent this to me last week he came across this site about sickness, its an english site but suggest different treatments that maybe you could print out and discuss with your gp or your consultant. hope the mods dont mind me postingMurdyWurdy wrote: »Aww - congrats!

How's everyone else feeling today?
I slept for 11.5 hours last night if that's any consolation? I felt much better for it today, was a weepy mess Monday and Tues (hormones!). Cannot wait for Christmas to just laze about.0 -
Congrats popz, scans are great
Once your sickness eases Murdy I'd be confident you'll put on weight quite quickly. But hopefully your doc can be a bit more supportive. Eating every 2 or 3 hours helped me a lot with the nausea, even though it felt wrong to eat straight after vomiting. Hope you start to improve soon.0 -

Me neither, I'm falling asleep at my desk here! I really need the break of Christmas, just trying to get through the next week and a half! I thought after 12 hours sleep I'd feel better but I don't so thats' why I think it's a bit odd, unless I just slept too much?!
Yeah, hopefully I will start putting some weight on soon, once the baby starts getting bigger. It's just something we're keeping an eye on to make sure it doesn't go the other way.0 -

Murdy, I was reading on another forum someone mentioning having accupuncture for morning sickness. Might be worth an investigate!0 -

I have one in the house here and can't quite believe there is something of that size in me! The whole fruit comparison thing always fascinates me as its a visual comparison. Only feels like a short time ago I was talking about sesame seeds and grapes.
At hospital today...
or kumquats, that was a funny one! I'm 13 weeks and my baby is the size of a lime
Good luck at hospital today!0 -

Not looking forward to melon or turnip!
I know it works up to mentioning cabbages at some stage which was scary enough! Imagine a watermelon
I'm wearing a pair of work trousers today and they're bet in to me. Think I'll be sticking to tights and dresses for the next while!0 -

Imagine two cabbages!!!
I haven't been able to wear my work pants for a few weeks now. Had to start on the bio oil this week. I feel like I'm expanding by the minute. It's such a weird feeling. Not exactly loving it but its for a good cause.0 -
