September 2013 babies!!

Hey guys

Honestly wouldn't worry too much re not seeing baby till 12 weeks or not seeing an obstetrician yet, here we only have scan at 12 weeks, no blood work at all and don't see obstetricians at all so sure you'll be okay

I'm seeing an obstetrician for first time ever at 18 weeks as its twins ;-s

So excited the tech I saw I on Friday said she though they were identical! And the only viewable nub at 12+6 was girly - agh trying not to get too excited LOL!

Cause makes two boys more likely ;-s

When does that make it hun about 22nd? Oh v jealous had an extra scan on Friday due to cramping and she measured them as 13+6! So over a week ahead! Can't move my scan thou as dh off to India for work and he wants to come!

So excited for you xx

Yep, it's on the 21st! 11 days left

Good news on your twins measuring ahead! Good that they're getting nice and big! Why did you have an emergency scan?

[Mum to three girls]

Thorz make sure you rest! I have had pretty much no morning sickness with this baby and I admit it was a relief to have a quick scan with my ob. Before that I was wondering whether the whole pregnancy was even real or not...

Fish - there's something so special about identical twins.

Northern, my nuchal is on the 21st as well although is Aussie so before yours. I hope my baby looks healthy and your baby is a girl! I'd also be happy with a really boyish nub but I'll go for healthy first.

DH and I have talked about the big V after this baby and he's keen. Prior to that we'd had a hormonal IUD which I didn't love but was OK but he could feel the string (sorry if TMI) and overall I think it's his turn to be in charge of contraception. I had a C-section after two normal deliveries for DD3 (she was breech) and although I'm aiming for another normal delivery if I end up having another section I'll get a tubal ligation at the same time.

Four is enough for us. We were always going to stop at 3, the problem is that having DD3 four years after DD2 seemed a bit unfair once she was here. My big girls are only 19 months apart and are best friends. There'll be about the same age gap between this baby and DD3 so she can have a childhood friend as well.

I'm better, thanks ladies, still a bit cramps but there is still no bleeding so I'm just taking it easy today! I'm quite exhausted so im gonna take a nap when the DS3 goes down for his nap. I'm starting to think the cramping may have been caused by over doing it yesterday, I was framing out an entry way in my Living room/dining room, so I was cutting a bunch of stuff with a saw and moving a big air compressor and dealing with a nail gun! I was getting so stressed because it wasn't going as well as the last one, when I finally decided to take a break, I crashed and slept for 2 hours! When I woke up I was super crampy. Now that I've been continually resting and drinking a lot of water, it's slowly getting better. I guess no more big projects on my own lol!

Hey northern had some cramping after lifting my little monkey but all okay phew

Oh my gosh that's so soon fx they get a good view! Agh are you gonna take your boys? We're gonna have to but think I might ask tech to use words they won't understand! Oldest only just three so think we can get away with it!

[Northern_Shutterbug]

Yes, we're taking the boys but I've designed a card that the sonographer can fill in, so they won't actually say what baby is. They'll do all of the potty shots without putting the viewing screen on, then we'll have the 4d part avoiding the potty area.

Then we're going out for dinner at the restaurant where OH and I had first date, and where I went into labour with DS2. Thats where we'll open the card! I'm hoping it'll bring good luck in some way!

That's the plan anyway! No doubt it'll go wrong in some way!

[fish2012]

Ha ha I love the fact you have designed a card you might be nearly as obsessive as me ;-)

I thought about that but if they say girl I think I will need to see the evidence for myself to believe it! Lol plus don't think ours is 4d so hoping it won't be easy for oldest to guess!

Ha ha I love the fact you have designed a card you might be nearly as obsessive as me ;-)

I like designing things, and we'll be giving the card to the inlaws too.
