Morning all!

Petal, I have bought them quite alot now, well it seems alot, but trying to think how many bodysuits, sleepsuits etc I will need a day/week... I will need and x2! Not cheap! Have bought tons of nappies, wipes, bibs etc...other mums think I'm prob crazy, been asking them how many nappies they go thru a day....lol trying to stock up before half pay kicks in at the end May. All the Baby events are the supermarket are great, but don't want to over-buy and people give gifts and I end up with too many of one size. Although my mum can swap for bigger sizes. People have been SO kind and given me buggies, car seats, nearly new baby clothes and my in-laws got our cot bed, mattress and divider. I feel so lucky as only have 1 of everything!. So far other than clothes I've bought all my Avent stuff half-price in mothercare's sale. Feels very odd buying for girls, was buying leggings for them with tops and thought why am I not buying dresses?? Not intentional, just think my brain is in trouser mode having boys! Got a few dresses now, but no skirts tho! Gonna clean my pram and try to sell it, prob won't get much, but every little helps and it's still in great condition considering both boys were in it.

Got all the Maternity paperwork from work thru, start mat leave 1st April-30th Sept, then I'll prob take a few wks annual leave, so back at work mid oct. Doesn't seem long! Wish I could afford to take a year off! They will be about 6/7mths when I go back, hoping they are in a decent routine for Dh as he'll have to get up thru the night himself with them then go to work himself!! Then I'll be sleep deprived all day waiting till he gets home to grap a few hrs kip unless they are good afternoon nappers? My boys were, but betcha this time these babies won't be!! lol

Deaks, FX for ur attempt!

Sunset, were u given steriods before Serena was born? was it to stop labour? My consultant told me yest she would give me some a week or 2 before twins come, she said she would explain better nearer the time. I'm guessing it's to either stop me going into labour myself and/or help babies pre-delivery???

Maybe, thankfully my vein 'downstairs' isn't sore, just hope it doesn't get worse! Not long now and urs will go! My mum said she had the same prob in pg and it went after birth. The joys!!

They move like mad these days and it's quite painful, esp the baby on my left (the smaller one!)...OMG can it kick!!! They are now lying like yin and yang again, so kicked up and down my bump. I was shocked they can still move, but oh yes and don't I know it!!!

Have a great day ladies!

My back is starting to hurt it is only ever on the right side - it runs down my right hip, down to my toes x i also get carpal tunnel on my right side. Just feel like i am constantly moaning! First sickness, then headaches and I have a cold now...bleurgh poor DH is fed up with me! On a plus he felt the baby kick yesterday so precious and special

Hi all, hope you are well.

Inglewood bet it does get expensive, at least they can share clothes but means you will need to wash and dry twice as fast! You gotta get some dresses, Id get them for young up to 9 months before they start crawling as a pain to crawl in them lol. You can do loads, shorts with tights or leggings, so cute!

My 8 week ish scan is tomoz night, thought I was picking up placenta noise on the doppler but dont think it was and I heard DS2's heartbeat at this stage and nothing so a bit concerned, but will see what happens, at least there def. was a heartbeat at 6 weeks so that hard part has been accomplished ifuswim.

Will post tomoz after the scan xx

I was yes. I got given 2 shots 24 hours apart.. The steroid injection works by helping the baby's lungs to mature quicker so they're not as likely to suffer breathing problems if they're born early.
