Congrats Amari! such a huge surprise for sure :)
My m/s is getting horrible....I was NEVER this sick before....The nausea is ALL DAY.....and its getting worst instead of better...
Fingers crossed--I haven't had much in the way of m/s. I've felt lightly nauseated, that's all.
@Amari--I told my husband that you were having twins and he told me, "You'd better not try that!" :rofl:
Yeah, dh and I are both really quite overwhelmed. He was fine with the two we have! I just don't know how we're going to afford it!Quote:

Hi everyone else :D
I'm getting worse sickness than ever before as well - and today I had SO many people saying to me, "Well it could be twins," or, "Maybe it's a girl this time." Twins (sorry Amari) terrify me so I'm hoping this is all a sign it is a girl!
I am still spotting on and off...anyone ever have this?
I've spotted my last 3 pregnancies but not this late.
I haven't had any spotting. I did hear the heartbeat really briefly a couple days ago. Have u had an us or heard the heartbeat yet?
No, I am in the middle of switching insurance plans so I haven't been into the Dr at all yet. Will be a couple more weeks. :( I wanted to wait until 12-13 weeks for a dating scan so I could get a good nub shot.
@fivebabies~~Is it really heavy? Is it most of the day?
Fivebabies- I spotted my entire last pregnancy. It started around 8 weeks. It was always old blood. It was really scary but my son is totally healthy. I hope it stops soon for you.
Yuzu~ Not everyday, more like every fews days or more and its not heavy. Just one potty break a day and like NYmom's its old blood.
But now randomly I started feeling less m/s on Sat. Sun was good too and I feel ok today so far. I hope I'm just lucky and over it early this pregnancy.
Five babies-it's so hard not to stress about everything. If you're not cramping I would assume its normal.
Gentle-terrified too!
Amari, I can't imagine how you feel!
When I got preg this time, an co-worker at my work "knew" i was preg before I did and that was why I tested so early, and it was a BFP. Then she said she saw that it was twins (B/G) and that freaked me out even more because she was right about the other thing. I shared it with my husband and he about had a gasket! Becuase we are really tight money-wise right now too, the idea really worried him and he still held onto the idea until my 18 w 5 d ultrasound, and when we clearly only saw one baby, he fianlly relaxed.
The upside is that these two babies are so meant to be with you and your DH. I totally understand the money worries though, I could only imagine...I know this sounds corny, but I really believe: where there's a will, there is a way. You and your DH will embrace this awesome challenge and be so happy once you meet your babies!! Will you be getting nub shots of the babies? A girl I used to know was also struggling fianicially and they are having girl twins in May! I know it must have been a shock to her DH but they seem to have adjusted to the idea really nicely now. :heart:
Hate to bring a negative thing into the group, but has anyone ever had a blighted ovum before? Today marks a victory because this is further than I got with 3 out of 4 of the failed pregnancies. But the one where I had a blighted ovum lasted till just before 12 wks. 4 of those weeks we knew there was something wrong only because I'd been anxious and booked a private early scan. Otherwise we'd have got to 11wks and then been freaked out by spotting or the dating scan showing nothing growing. It haunts me. I'm seriously struggling with putting it out of my mind. Tell me if there is another place I'd be better sharing this, because I don't want to bring the atmosphere down. Sorry!
@Gentle--I think this is a good place to express any worries, concerns or whatever! Here you won't be judged for that. I can imagine how the blighted ovum thing haunts you; it must be really scary. Is there any way you can find out early what your chances for having this happen again?
Five - the last 3 days my m/s is almost gone too. so strange, it has never stopped this early. I still get waves of nausea but no dry heaving and my appetite is back. I got a little worried but saw the midwife today and the heartbeat was loud and strong. So maybe we are being blessed with feeling better early. I just hope it doesn't come back!
Oh good! I'm so glad for you! I hope it stays away for both of us! :) I just ordered a ton of Zofran. lol. Maybe I won't need it afterall.
When is everyone planning on finding out the gender? I was so set on waiting until 20 full weeks but now I am starting to think I want to go for a private one at 16 weeks...is this foolish of me? Am I just asking for trouble?
I feel good in the morning but evenings are hard for me, this nausea and food aversions is the worse. I use seabands, I think they help. How is everybody's skin looks? My face is starting to look amazing after being on LE diet for 3 month, I really see some nice skin now- hoping it is not a BOY sign. My pregnancies with boys used to give a glowy skin with no acne. I hope it is not the case this time. Also, I like fruits and berries (strawberries and blueberries) my favorite now:)
Did anybody try to do baking soda gender test? Or any other tests?
I was just going to ask the question to the boy moms if they broke out when they were pregnanat, I have been getting these little pimples everywhere and I had such good skin when I was pregnant with my girls.Quote:

I feel miserable this pregnancy, I'm not even sure why I just feel blah all the time, I wasn't like this with my other two pregnancy's but I am 4 years older than I was with my last one so maybe that has something to do with it who knows.
Fivebabies-I think I am going team green this time, I found out with DD1 and DD2 and since this is my last I just figure it might be nice to have a surprise. Who knows though I change my mind every second
I am fed going for a gender scan. My nt scan is at 11 2/7 so I don't think there will be a good.nub, too early. In my town, the gender scans are 16wks but.2.hrs away, they do them at 14. I ask tempted to make the drive but three 16 is prob more reliable

Maybe we could start a thread to pop into to keep each other going and others in the same circumstances? xx
I had terrible skin with all of my boys! And great skin with my DD. I hope that's a good sign for you! :)
I am considering going at 16 weeks...don't know if I can wait longer. lol
I would go to a gender scan today if it would work!:rofl:
that makes me feel so much better :)Quote:

My skin was good with DS1, bad with DS2. Pretty good this time, few spots, nothing major.
Ha - I had perfect skin with my 2 boys - better than normal! This time I'm getting lots of little pimples and feel like a teenager. For me, I'm hoping it's a girl!
Irishmom - my dr is hoping I'll get an early scan and has referred me for one, but we'll see whether one turns up. Hope you can hang on till 23rd - seems so far away....
Hey, girls! I don't remember what my skin was like with my boys actually. I have great skin now, don't think it was like this!
So, girls, I have another u/s Monday and I have this strange fear that they are going to look and say oh we missed one and that there are 3! I know it is probably irrational, but I am actually really scared. That won't happen, right? I am getting to the point of being happy/excited about two, and would obviously be devestated if something happened to one of them, but I don't want 3.
I am sure they would have noticed a third. If they spot two they must automatically look for more. That would be a story though! Are you feeling in your symptoms that it is twins or is it similar to your single pregnancies?
Oh Amari, don't worry Hun. I'm sure they would have seen all possible babies last time. :) Hope you're feeling well!
I agree, I'm sure once they saw two they looked for moreQuote:

My first appointment won't be until the 18th. I can't believe that my doctor is that busy. I really don't want to wait that long, but they promised me that after the initial visit I'll be able to get in faster. Apparently I have to do all bloodwork and an u/s on the first visit. I wonder if I could get in faster if I went to a clinic?
So apparently I jinxed myself by thinking my m/s might be better. The last 3 days I have been nauseated all day.
Amari, I am sure there was only 2. I think it is only when you are like the octomom that they miss one.
Ugh, NeedAGirl, we musy be on the same wave link. I have had a feww really bad days too! :( Back to bed for me....
Five and need a girl-Mine comes and goes too! So far mine is no where as bad as it was with each of my boys though. Hope you both feel alright tonight!
I'm sure you all are right, thanks for the reassurance.
Yuzu-I am already showing and can't really hide it, but other than that I actually have less symptoms so far than with each of my boys. It is strange!
Ugh, I am having a really horrid morning. :( Ifeel awful. Usually the mornigs are good and then at noon I go downhill from there...hope this doesn't mean I'll have an unbearable evening.
How is everyone else feeling?
I am feeling terrible. Had a few days of feeling ok and now it has hit me badly again! I just feel so so yucky. I know I should just go and be sick, get it over and done with but I really can't be bothered.
Hope you are all not feeling too bad.
Lauralou, so sorry I missed you on the first post! Just added you. Let me know if you know you're exact due date, I am happy to change it for you. Welcome!
