Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

Hi, ladies! :wave: Sorry I haven't been around much, but the extreme nausea and extreme tiredness is totally kicking my butt! :sigh: Just wanted to pop in really quick for an update, see how everyone's doing, and say congrats to all the new BFP's! :)

My next scan wasn't supposed to be until November 9th, but my OB wanted me to come in earlier to check on my ruptured cyst, so she scheduled a scan for this morning. I was excited to see the babies earlier than expected, but when I was about to get in the shower this morning, I went pee and when I wiped, there was a tiny bit of pink spotting on the toilet paper. I was SO worried all morning long, praying that everything was okay. Hubby went with me to the scan while my mom stayed at home with our boys. So, the u/s tech did the scan and saw the two babies right away, and everything was fine (thank God!). Baby A's heartbeat was 179 bpm and baby B's heartbeat was 164 bpm. They're measuring right on track. The cyst is almost gone, and the tech couldn't determine where the spotting was coming from, which is gone now, so I really don't know what that was. But boy, what a relief to see those two little hearts beating away! God is so good. :)

Anyway...I'm trying to keep up with everything that's going on with everyone, but it seems like we're all experiencing pretty much the same things (nausea, food aversions, tiredness, poop problems, LOL). Does anyone feel like they're showing yet? Yes, I know it's probably bloat at this point for all of us, but just wondering if anyone feels like it's noticeable to people yet? I'm trying hard to hide my bloat from friends and family until Thanksgiving Day (23 days to go!). I hope I can make it, I'm dying to spill the beans! Is anyone else planning on revealing their pregnancy on Thanksgiving?

ETA: I'll see if DH can scan a copy of our sonogram so I can upload it here tonight. If not, I may just have to take a picture of it instead. ;)

Glad to hear everything went well this morning sweetpea! Spotting is always such a scary thing even though it seems its soo common lol!!
As for showing YES I feel like I am for sure showing, as you said it's mostly bloat, I'm definitely bigger at night then when I wake up but even waking up I noticed a wee little ponch. I'm gaining weight fast! We actually made our pregnancy public today :) I don't think I'll be able to hide it much longer and we couldn't keep it in, so we decided since all went well at the ultrasound it was time!
Hopefully the time flies until thanksgiving for you!! It's still so incredibly exciting that you have 2 in there, and those are high heartbeats! They say that means girl hehehe. The tech didn't tell me the heartbeat today at my ultrasound! He just showed me, but I have an appt on Thurs with my doc and I'm sure she will bring out the doppler lol!

Thanks Mrs P!!! I'll have to admit, I did a little dance as we left the hospital haha! I hope Aubree is on her way too :) I hope the morning sickness holds off for you anyway! Glad your feeling good

Hi Sweetpea,

Sorry to hear you are feeling rough! I hope you get past that really soon. It's frustrating that nothing really helps either.. Get plenty of rest!

Glad your bleed turned out to be nothing to worry about. What a relief! Such a worrying time in early pregnancy.

Looking forward to seeing a pic of your double trouble : )

All the best XX

Hi sweetpea, worry you're feeling so tired, I'm complaining every minute with tiredeness with one baby, let alone you, with TWINS :) Glad to hear your little ones are fine. It must be so exciting to see two babies on the screen :) So happy your spotting is not a problem. Usually it's nothing bad, but we still are so worried to see bleeding during pregnancy even if it's only a little.

I am ECSTATIC because I didn't even ask, but he told me baby's on the left and I ovulated from the left!!!! I know some dont believe in the ramzi theory but I do and ill take it!!!! Hehehe :)

---

So glad that everything is ok and that baby is doing well. Can't wait for my scan on Sunday.
Great news about ovulating on the left! I am 99.9% positive I ovulated on the right this time as when I went for my first Doctors appointment, upon feeling my abdomen he told me he thought he could feel a lump on my right ovary (indicating a cyst) I suffer a lot with this. Chances are its the corpus luteum

Great news that babies are doing well. I am so excited for you having twins! Hope you feel better soon. As everyone has said don't blame you for feeling tired I am shattered and I've just got one baby in there.

Thanks, cvd! :) Congrats on going public with your pregnancy! That's such a great feeling! I can't wait until we're able to share our news! I only have to hold it in for another 3 weeks! ;)

Thanks, Maple! :) I know, I hate the first few weeks of pregnancy - always scared that something is going to go wrong, and also feeling sick and miserable. I *love* the second trimester - can't wait to get there! ;)

Congrats again on your BFP!! I'm so happy for you!! :bighug:

Thanks, dreaming :) I was so heartbroken over seeing that spotting yesterday morning, I thought for sure I was losing one of them. :( I prayed so hard that everything would be okay, and thankfully, it was. Early pregnancy is so nerve-wracking! And yep, I hear ya on the tiredness. I feel like a walking zombie, LOL! Can't wait to get to the second trimester, where I can hopefully relax a bit and not worry so much, and hopefully the extreme sickness/tiredness will subside too. Glad to hear that you're otherwise doing well! :agree:

Thank you, 3boys :) It sounds like we're all battling the extreme tiredness! :sigh: I don't know if two babies = twice as much fatigue, but I sure do feel exhausted, as I know all of you girls do too. Can't wait to feel a little bit better in a few weeks' time! Hurry up, second trimester! ;)

Sorry to be such a thread hog! This is my last post, I promise! ;) Just wanted to share a pic of my u/s from yesterday. My husband stared at this pic in the car saying, "Wow. There's really two in there, huh?" LOL! I think he's still a little bit in shock, haha!

Aw sweetpea your not hogging the thread, its nice to hear twin stories, so cute and such a special thing your going through - can't wait to see more pics of them. I've always wondered on ultra sounds if you see twins interacting and 'playing' together - you'll have to look and let me know as they grow x

Thanks, MrsP! :) I wanted to catch up to the posts I missed over the last couple of days, and as I replied to each person I realized that I ended up posting several posts in a row! :oops: Didn't mean to hog the thread, hee hee! ;)

Honestly, I don't know hardly anything about twin pregnancies, so I'm curious of the same things that you are! I've been doing a little bit of reading so that I know what I'm in for, but lately I've been too exhausted at night to even pick up my Kindle. I'm usually in bed when the kids are - about 8:30 pm (if not earlier), LOL! :)

Wow Sweetpea, it is just amazing.

Don't worry, keep those pic's coming! :awe:

Amazing pic sweetpea! Such a blessing :)

Me too, I'm counting the days, well actually weeks till we're in the second trimester. At least we'll be more relaxed and hopefully we'll get some energy back. I was breathless today as I tried to clean the house, I felt like an 80year old :) And I'm so emotional. Yesterday at work I could have easily knocked down my boss...she's such an as.h.le! I was surprised by my own reaction, I usually control myself with her even if she makes me angry, but yesterday I would have thrown her down the window :)

Awww, dreaming. :( Sorry to hear about your boss. It's bad enough that you have to feel as crummy as you do, and then have to deal with an awful boss on top of it, that stinks. Does she know you're pregnant?

No, didn't tell her yet and I got to know that she got another a promotion in another Department and if she accepts it and goes there, I'll wait till she leaves to tell everyone. I really don't want to tell her, she's such a witch. It's like, why do I have to tell something so beautiful that happened to me to someone I really don't like! I really hope she leaves.

By the way ladies, have to share this with you. I bought Ginger Root pills a few days ago for my nausea. My sil said she took them during her pregnancy and they worked. And they are also working for me. I don't know if it's my mind or the pills but I'm really having less nausea. I take one in the morning after eating something and one in the evening usually after dinner. The brand is Holland & Barrett but I'm sure there are lots of other brands in Herbal shops. I also bought some chewy ginger sweets from them but I honestly didn't like, they are soo sweet and I couldn't get them down. I'm also not feeling extremely hungry like I was before taking the pills, so that's another plus! :)

Thanks for the tip dreaming!!! So glad it's making you feel better, I may have to go get some!
I had a doctors appt this morning, my first prenatal check up, she prescribed me some diclectin for my nausea at night since its really bothering me and interfering with my sleep but I may stick it out without taking any. I don't really like the idea of taking meds. She also pretty well said I'm gaining weight too fast, I've gained 6lbs since September 20th (113lbs to 119lbs now) I didn't think that's overly a lot????? Although I'm only 5 foot. She said they only recommend 5lbs gained in the whole first trimester so I'm already over and only 9+3. I eat healthy though. When I snack it's apples, pears, cucumbers ect. So I dunno lol I'm not concerned though she seems to be. I was almost kinda offended lol!!!! Oh well!!!
Hope everyone else is getting on well!!!

Hey all just wanted to say Hi - Sweatpea your scan pic is soooooo cute !!!! I so wish I was still here chatting with you girls - I am so pleased for you all dont get me wrong but I aint half jealous too :-) Hopefully will catch an egg this month and be due in August and will be able to hop back over to here :-)
Ill be watching in the mean time to see all the amazing scan photos and see if we can get any gender clues :-)

Perhaps tell her you were ill before falling pregnant and had lost quite a bot of weight so actually your just gaining back what you lost and if you hadnt lost weight before your sway then you wouldnt have had that 6lb to gain back does that make sense ? Like me i have lost 5 pound and know as soon as i get pregnant and go back to "normal" eating that 5 pound will be back on in a matter of days !!!

Hi ladies. May I join you? I'm due July 1.

Oh boo! Don't worry about it Cvd, I think worrying about weight will do you more harm right now!
You sound like you are snacking well - I am not as good as you... I am food crazy right now. Really making up for the diet now.. Actually already ordered some new maternity jeans - might need them earlier than I thought, lol.

Take care XX

I gained about 3-3.5kg, that's about 8lbs I think! I know I gained too much already but I was expecting this cause before getting pregnant I was eating only veggies, no sugar, no fat, everything low fat with aspartame. Now I'm drinking drinks which contain sugar and not aspartame cause that's not healthy for baby. I'm avoiding everything which is light, like light yoghurt (for the same reason) and I'm eating practically everything not just vegetables like I was before. So it's obvious that I gain weight. And I'm eating more too. I try to eat healthy but I have so many food aversions that I just can't stick to a healthy diet. I did the same thing when I was expecting DS, I got quite some weight during the first trimester but by the end of my pregnancy I only gained about 10kg, so that's not much all in all.

That's what I think too Mum23boys, we are gaining back the weight that we lost before getting pregnant. I got back to my weight before starting the diet.

Hope you will join us soon hun :) good luck for this month!

I'm not that fat yet, but honestly I'm starting to feel some of my tracksuit trousers are getting tight and I'm sliding them under my tummy and leave them around my hips. But I do that at home of course. My work trousers still fit in and are not bothering me at all, neither are jeans. My pj is also bothering and I'm also lowering it to my hips. I feel it's too early to buy maternity trousers though, they will be extra large! I hate this time when it seems nothing fits but maternity wear is still big!

Is anyone else wearing maternity clothes yet? I had to buy bra extensions too, which I'm waiting for eagerly but seem to take so long to arrive. Guess I need to get some new bras, but I hate to go shopping right now, even for the tiniest thing, I'm so tired, everything seems to be difficult to do.

It was a huge change in diet once we got BFP and I know the first couple weeks I totally splurged and had all the foods I couldn't while dieting lol when she said 6 I was actually impressed! I also cut out "diet" foods cause the artificial sweeteners etc! It's hard not to eat the super yummy stuff when pregnant!!
And dreaming - I haven't had to get out maternity clothes or bras yet, I only had to wear a couple maternity shirts last preg so I don't even have any really! But ill tell you this, my shirt sure doesn't always teach my pants like it used to. And that is not a pretty sight. My bellaband will be coming out in about a week I think! My boobs also have suddenly grown in the last 2 days!!
What do you ladies do for stretchmarks?? I was uber lucky, I didn't get stretchmarks till 39 weeks last preg and so I don't have very many, they are somewhat faded. When do you start putting stretchmark cream on? Anyone have a favourite cream? Around here it seems "bio oil" is really popular but I cannot take the SMELL ick!!!

When I was pregnant with DS, I bought Vichy anti stretch marks cream and started to apply it after the first trimester. I did it everyday after my evening shower and believe me, I don't know if I was just lucky, but to me it made wonders. I did not get one single stretch mark on my belly and had just a few faint ones on my breast which went away in time. When the nurses/midwives saw my belly, they used to tease me and tell me 'the other ladies would be so jealous of you if they saw your belly' :) I intend to start applying it as soon as the first trimester is over, hopefully it is still in production cause I'm talking about 12years ago, but I think it is still available on the market. I got to check a bit on ebay.

Ok, did some research,I didn't find it on ebay but there are two different ones...one is Vichy Complete Action Anti-Stretch Mark Cream and the other one is Vich Anti-Stretch Mark Cream. They seem to be different but I don't know what's the difference between them. Mine was the Vichy Complete Action Anti-stretch Mark Cream cause I recognized the tub.

I tried to look for it!!! We must not have Vichy in Canada :(

Sorry about that CVD but I'm sure there'll be other good brands available. Maybe someone else from the states can give you some suggestions. I'm so far from you...I'm in Malta :)

Haha, I've got you ALL beat on the weight gain! ;) I've gained a whopping 13 pounds already! :suprise: However, in my defense, I had a ruptured cyst and supposedly, the fluid from that can cause BIG weight gain until it all subsides and heals. So while I'm sure some of that is genuine weight gain from eating more after my BFP, I know some of it is fluid. I'm not worried, as I know what I'm eating (not much, really! Too sick!) and while I have had some bad foods like a cheeseburger or whatever, I'm mostly eating pretty healthy (lots of protein shakes and greek yogurt for all the extra protein I'm supposed to be consuming with twins!).

But yeah, I just thought I'd make all you ladies feel better by how much weight I've gained already, LOL. ;) You guys are doing fine! :agree:

You have a good reason apart from the cyst to gain more weight though....TWINS! :)
