I can only imagine how hard shift work must be when pregnant Ruby. I think I would find it hard anyway pregnant or not. My mum used to do shift work but she had to stop because she couldn't handle it anymore.
That's great about your ultrasound mrshonyez
Will you be having an ultrasound soon to find out Ruby? I had no real reason to think twins, just everyone kept joking about it. I am already showing but I assumed just from it being my 3rd, and my youngest is only 1. My beta levels were pretty high, so I'm just hoping that leans more girl for me ;)
I think when you're first pregnant people like to joke it will be twins just to scare you a little.
At least its not as scary as the woman here in Australia that had quintuplets last week. She was 48 conceived them naturally and has already had 12 other kids! Unfortunately one didn't survive :sad:
:( that's sad... But wow they must be really fertile!
bythe****** - I do love the job so it's all just part of it I guess. I heard about the quintuplets too, crazy!
mrshonyez - I'm having an u/s on 28/9 so in 3 more weeks, not long really. I don't know what my beta levels were but I have heard that high levels can sway girl.
I've just been looking at nursery linen and found a gorgeous girly one I want!
Great news on your u/s Mrshoneyz :D
I couldn't handle shift work Ruby! I really feel for you, I just feel so shattered and sick all the time :sigh:
I've had people say before (when we said we were planning on having another baby) that we'd probably end up with twin boys - people are so nice aren't they?! xx
It means you're going to have a lot of kids...hahaha.Quote:

I have also had major anxiety about this pregnancy and baby was so small at the last U/S I am wondering if getting the scan would ease some of my fears? So...if I get the scan I may know the sex if the nub shots are good enough ruining my surprise but it could make me feel better too seeing that the baby is doing okay. What should I do?!
I would say have the scan to put your mind at rest, even if you see the nub it isn't guaranteed you will guess it correctly so you'll still have the surprise you want. xx
Mummypink - people have said that to us too. One reason we didn't tell people we were TTC. They seem to think it's hilarious.
Rosie - I'd go for the 12 week scan for reassurance, you can always tell them you don't want pics of the nub area.
I had a bit of spotting and cramps at work last night. Just when I wiped when I went to the bathroom. I'm really worried but it's Saturday so won't be able to get an u/s until Monday unless I go to emergency and wait for a zillion hours. Not sure what to do I've never had this before.
