Hey everyone! I haven't been on here for a while but had a scan today and so thought id pop on and share this….
Attachment 20570
Wow, twins!!!! OMG mumofsix! Congratulations!! How are you feeling? It's been quite long since I saw you in here!
OMG is right Marika...that's kinda what I said!! 😜
I haven't been on here cause I've actually been feeling like crap!! I've had the worst hayfever (which I NEVER get whilst pregnant) and it's knocked me around so badly plus I've had nausea and vomiting on and off and massive food aversions.... Kinda all makes sense why now!
I've also been tired and cranky and literally had enough of everyone!! (again, kinda know why now!).
I am in shock and terrified of having twins again, we have all our twin stuff away and our extra cot etc and I literally almost died having the twins before and it took almost 2yrs to get my bloods back to normal and any energy back so kinda freaking out! 😜
Other than that......I'm good! Lol!
Oh wowwwwww mum....masssive congratulations. .and sorry to hear ur feeling so crappy..hope it gets better soon
Wow what a surprise! Again :) how blessed you are!! I truly hope they are pink bundles :) x
Wow wow wow!!!!! I haven't been on here for days as I've had houseguests and then superbusy at work today! Kitkat told me you were having twins so I had to come on and say a huge WOW and a huge congrats!!!!! Hope they are twin girls!!!
We have a secret Facebook group by the way, the details are in the other thread - come join us? X
Mum - sorry you have been feeling so sick, but it makes sense now when you know :-) I can understand you have split feelings and that it must have been a bit of a shock, but I hope you will be checked up carefully if you had problems last time. You will the the mommy of eight - it's really fantastic!
Mum you are handling it sooo well!! And you must be chuffed with boy, girl guesses. It will be hard having two bubbas at once but you are an expert!! Big hugs now come join our Facebook group xx

Congrats hoping and Sarah!
Joining here too if that's ok! There's so many threads for my due date in march !
After my scan today, my edd has moved forward by a week so 1st march!
It's weird as I don't believe we would have conceived a week earlier according to my record of our attempts. Does it mean this baby is going to be huge? Lol x
^^Haha. No, not necessarily. Often growth happens in spurts and if they measure right after a big spurt, it can make baby seem big and then they even out by the next one. I wouldn't be concerned about a big baby unless he/she consistantly measures ahead on each scan. My son measured ahead from the beginning (he was a "one hit wonder" so we knew the conception date) and consistantly measured bigger and bigger for gestation. And, yes, he was a good sized baby (8.4 at 37w) But I wouldn't expect you would have a huge one if your others were pretty average size. Mighta just caught that growth spurt.
Congrats on the new mamas to the thread!! Hoping everyone has a smooth pregnancy and a bonus of their DG too :)
For me, I am wearing down of feeling terrible. I am thinking this has been my hardest pregnancy so far. I am 11.5 weeks and I just feel terrible most days. Lots of nausea and getting sick. Exhaustion (never had that too bad). And feeling so irritable. I feel bad for complaining about it...I know some women are just viciously sick through their pregnancies and would love to have some nausea and tiredness. But it's the overall feeling of just yuck that is wearing on me. I thought it would be dying down soon, but it's getting stronger instead. I hope it does end soon. My poor kids are tired of me being so grumpy with them and running from the room to be sick. But, alas, things seem to be moving in the right direction. I find the baby on Doppler pretty easily every few days and we will see him/her next Thursday for our NT scan. I am excited about that. I think we have selected names as well, which is a good feeling too :)
Sorry you feel soooo rubbish hotdogz moan away!! Hard for you having three littlies to run around after as well, big hugs! Hope it passes at 12 or 13 weeks. I'm sure your nt scan will cheer you up! Are you going team green? I know you are a super good nub guesser.
Lavie I managed to open your pic in web view, ccuuttttee baby!!! Okay take this with a grain of salt cause I have never guessed but I thought it looked girly!! X

Kitkat...yeah...we are going green. But I guess I'll have to suck it up if we get a nub shot. I don't know whether to hope for an ambiguous one, where it won't be obvious. Or hope for an obvious one. Lol. I feel like ill know if its a good capture. I've seen enough nubs now! But I am nervous in that weird way. Like I don't know if I want to ruin my team green with a good guess. But I do kinda want a lean. Ill be 12+3, so a teeny bit early. And if baby measures smaller, I might be on that accuracy line. Guess we will see!
How's everyone? I don't think most people know this thread got created. I wish the others would come down here :)
Hey hotdogz, I feel your pain. I've been grumpy and moody and nauseous and tired!! And I have a serious aversion to garlic and spring onions which is a huge issue in our house! Lol! We haven't told the kids either so it's hard to explain who I'm always gagging or vomiting and suddenly can't stand certain foods. I've also had shocking headaches which I never get when pregnant and I've been sick with hayfever, which again I never suffer from during pregnancy usually. It sux!!
Hey guys!! I'm still here....are either of you on Facebook? We have a secret Facebook group too, that's where half this due date group are:) come and join!! I will requote instructions if anyone wants to join......
I too have hit the nausea party every day is a struggle and trying to pretend im feeling fine it really sucks!! Mum and hotdog yours does sound worse I feel for you!!! Lemonade and boiled sweets are helping me through the day.
Had the loveliest dream last night so vivid that I had twins a boy and girl (maybe I was thinking of you mum) and I was soooo happy to have one girl in my dream woke up feeling totally deflated as I have been telling myself its another boy and im cool with that etc etc, clearly my subconscious is telling me different!!!
Tough one hot dogz I would soooo be looking if I was you, I have tried to look at nub pics and clearly I still have no clues, just guessed girly on lavies scan pic there was no nub hehe
Xxxxx

Hope we all feel better soon, not long now hopefully!!
Mum I don't know how people haven't guessed you're PG if you haven't been feeling good for that long. Shame about the garlic aversion, I would be gutted too!!
On my way to my NHS scan, I'm only 11w2/3 so at least there will be no way of guessing I suppose. I do feel it's a bit early as there's still 2 weeks of the first trimester left so I nervous about telling work and then something going wrong.
Good luck Steph!!! It will be lovely to see baby, im sure you will feel reassured after the scan Xx

Hello ladies, I have has a friend request from someone called Mayra. Could you let me know if it's any of you so I can add you to the secret group. Thank you.
I can't seem to add you or find you on FB. I only have the app on my phone and can't access if through anything else (my DH has blocked it all) so maybe that's why??
You're welcome to add me as a friend, I'm Sam PT.
Goodluck Steph!!
Oh and I don't know how people haven't guesses I'm pregnant?? Especially the kids. With being sick, my aversion to garlic and my already there baby bump, I have no idea! 😕
Yes its yogi x

I'd love to join the group please?
I feel so ill! Can't wait for this feeling to subside. I'm not actually being sick but I really feel nauseous. Been nibbling on ginger biscuits to hopefully help!
I had my first midwife appointment yesterday too. She took blood and I nearly fainted, had to lie down. I felt like such a wet lettuce!!!
Has anybody started taking bump or nearly bump photos yet?
I got my little boy to take these at 6 weeks. Bump or flab?

We do kitkat!
Sorry I was MIA since my announcement! School started up for my kids AND myself this week, and it is just sheer craziness. That's okay. I need something to take my mind off this pregnancy lol. I am still testing daily because I just can't believe it.
On another note, my brother and his wife announced yesterday that they are having a sweet baby girl in February. They already have a 4 year old boy. I had that automatic sinking feeling that made me want to vomit. Of course they got their pigeon pair. I am happy for them, but it hurt a little too. My mom went on and on about how excited she is to finally have a granddaughter because "you (meaning me) may never have a girl, or another baby" SIGH. She has no idea that I am pregnant. We are not announcing until we know the gender.
HopingForRainbows- sounds like things have been busy. How are you feeling? Lol about still peeing on a stick! 😉
I'm sorry about your family, people just don't think before they talk sometimes and it's a bugger your brother got his news in before you. Hopefully you'll get your girl too though! x
HopingForHairBows, how far along are you now? Do you have a scan scheduled yet? I'll keep my fingers crossed you have your little pink bean in there :-)
What you said sort of hit close to home for me though, but we are actually on the other end. My sister-in-law and I were all about swaying and TTCing right around the same time. They wanted to sway boy (it's their first) and so did we (but it's our second and we already have a girl). For months we were talking and chatting about our sways, exchanging recipes and notes on supplements, etc. They started TTCing slightly before us because we ended up buying a house and things got postponed. Anyhoo, they got pregnant in December and we were all so happy for them! Unfortunately in February, they found out they had miscarried. It was her first pregnancy and she was devastated. She also lost her father at a young age and this just made all those feelings of loss come back for her. After her miscarriage, we would still talk a bit about how she was feeling and the fact that they were going to start TTCing again right away (without swaying), but I was trying to be really careful about talking about our own attempts. In June, we got our BFP, and I struggled with how to handle it within the family. All 3 of my brothers and I are extremely close. We don't live in the same state or anything, but we all work together and have always been very open about what's going on in our lives. I couldn't imagine not sharing the news with them. After talking to my mom about it, I decided to share the news, as I knew my sister-in-law might be more hurt if she later found out she was the last to know, etc. She was of course happy for me, but when I asked her how her attempts were going, she told me she'd rather not talk about it with me anymore, as it was just too hard for her. I have since respected that, but now we just don't really talk, and if we do, I avoid saying anything at all about my pregnancy. It's sad for me because we were so excited about being pregnant together (she also works for me and we work for a pregnancy and parenting website, so we talk about pregnancy and parenting a lot due to work, but never relating it to personal stuff anymore), but I also understand and respect her wishes, as I know it's much more sad for her. So last week we found out we were having a boy. We had waited to announce the pregnancy publicly until we knew the sex, so I decided to text all my brothers and sister-in-laws our news so they would find out from me, rather than from FB. Everyone has since sent back well wishes, except her. Again, I know she is happy for us, but I also know her well and know how emotional she is and that she's also probably cursing us for not only getting pregnant, but having a healthy pregnancy so far, and then to top it off, getting our GD. And I don't blame her one bit! I can understand those feelings, but now I just feel like there is a wall up between us and I don't know how to break it down. The whole family is coming down for the Christmas holidays, and I'll be 30 weeks pregnant. I am REALLY hoping she is also pregnant again by then so that we can all be happy and get back to normal, hopefully. But I'm worried that they won't be, and even in the meantime, I just hate this barrier between us. Is there anything I can do? Should I tell her how I feel or is that just being selfish? Should I just let it continue until she gets her BFP and can be happy again? I've heard from another sister-in-law that she recently found a support group and that it has been helping her, but that she still breaks down in tears anytime they talk about what happened. Anyone have any advice? I want to be as sensitive as possible. Thanks in advance for any advice!! I feel like once she is pregnant again, she will be worried constantly until at least the second trimester, but that once she's through that she will be so thrilled that she won't care about having a boy or girl. It's their first child and they want at least 2, so they will have another shot at a boy. I think having the miscarriage made her realize just how much she wants a baby, period (she wasn't 100% sure she was ready when they started trying, but was doing it more for my brother who had been ready since they met 5 years ago). Still, just for her sake and the fact that she's dealing with all this, I do hope they get a boy :-) Of course, I also hope they also end up with a girl at some point because all of my brothers and their wives always say they only want boys and that if they have a girl they would give her to us (since we swayed for a girl the first time, so obviously want them). I don't understand it! Girls are incredible too! It would grate on me when they said that, and so part of me wants them to have a girl so they can see just how wrong they were for even thinking that. Not to mention this specific brother just screams father of girls to me! He would be the perfect daddy to a little girl :-) Anyhoo, sorry for rambling, lol. Just wanted to give you some background on the situation, but am really hoping to get some advice on how to handle such a sensitive subject with my sister-in-law who I miss dearly in my life, especially while pregnant with our last baby.
