2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

I just feel fat and hungry now, no negative symptoms at all.

The hungry is good, as mothers expecting twins are expected to gain 24 lbs by 24 weeks to help avoid preterm labor ... eek!
 
Hoping to go back to work Monday if it can ease off.. but it came back tonight.. will see how I am over next few days..
 
Great news serenjay! Cute pic too :thumbup:

Vivid dreams are driving me nuts too, had a really horrible one last night about my two year old.

Had a good day yesterday indigestion or whatever it is wasn't SO bad. Getting back into my exercise again, after my last pregnancy and all that went wrong I was too scared to push my body in any way. Had a bit of a jog on the treadmill last night gave myself a stitch but that was the worst of it!
 
Thanks hun.. it was sleeping.. I said aww its not as active.. OH said yeah its sleeping..as soon as he said that the baby jumped! then kept jumping lol.

Oh I wish I had the energy to do some exercise :D
 
Girls im back...

Baby is perfect... it measured 11 weeks 4 days... and jumped around.. perfect loud heartbeat... I feel so much more relaxed and she only charged us £33.. the picture isnt the best..its not the best quality scanning machine.. xx

awww...sweet picture. So glad everything was ok for you.
 
That is so interesting darkstar...I wonder how the weight gain staves off ptl? I don't gain very much weight until the end of pregnancy and I did have ptl. I should probably look into this!
 
Well I am officially stuck using crutches and a pelvis belt. If I try walking without them I end up in major pain and could risk long term damage. At least I am able to move around a bit more now with the crutches. Poor hubby has been working fulltime, looking after me and Miss 4 and doing all the housework - I feel terrible so hopefully with the crutches I will be able to do a bit more!

Had my bloods done for the NT screening this morning - will have my 12 week scan next week. Think we might be sticking with my LMP dates afterall which puts my EDD at 30th September - but as Miss 4 was a late comer I if I am allowed to I'd like to stick with you lot!

See my midwife again on Thursday next week so hopefully will hear Little Bug's heartbeat on the doppler! I wont buy one myself as I'll just worry myself silly with the thing :winkwink:
 
Serenjay that's wonderful hun xxxxxxx

CrazyMumma yeah definitely stay!!!
 
Ahhhh I've woken up crazy early. Still tired but no chance of getting back to sleep lol. Often happens when I sleep alone (oh lives elsewhere) gah at least I got a reasonably early night.
 
dark star, I've had 3x sections... the quickest I've fallen pregnant is 1 years after my last c-section.

Midwife said to expect a lot of pulls and itching where my scar is. also joked with me that i need to have a small baby so that my scar doesn't open up!! :O that shocked me as never been told that before, but then I've had 3 sections with a lot of scar tissue and doctors don't like to do anymore than 3 :/ never had any problems with my c section scars in 7 pregnancies :) and I've had some big babies also (9lb 2oz or 4.13903kg)

I've had itching and some horrible pulls, but I've been rubbing bio oil into my scar to help soften things (if thats even possible), but i feel like I'm doing something...

serenjay beautiful pic!!! i can't wait to have my 1st scan :)

AFM I'm starting to feel, dare i say it "normal", so obviously that made me think the worst... but whipped out the doppler and little jellybean is doing fine BPM is still 170 so I'm happy :happydance: i wish i could kiss the person who invented these, as the amount of reassurance I've had is just priceless, can't imagine how much i could of spent on scans if it wasn't for one of those lol
 
Wonderful scan pic seren.

I'm also counting down the days til I'm 12 weeks in the hope the nausea goes. Doesn't help that DD has chicken pox and is not sleeping well :(
 
I'm struggling to find anything with my doppler. Any tips? My ticker says 9w5d but based on ovulation I'm probably nearer to 9w1d.
Is it too soon? Am I doing something wrong?
 
I can't find anything with doppler either xx I'm not too worried about that tho. As bean was perfect at scan.

I've just got a great deal on a graco mosaic from the charity shop! ! :-)
 
Some days I can find it easy with doppler other days are harder. Having a full bladder helps you need to move very slowly. You will hear your hb on both sides so babies hb with be somewhere between these two points. At 9 weeks you need to be looking just above pelvis bone.
 
Rhi, I'm so sorry! We will definitely miss you! :hugs:

Mel, I wasn't able to find it until 10 weeks. And I tried almost every day. Found it by using the probe vaginally (NHS did a study on it) at about 9w4d. Probably could have found it that way before, but I didn't try.


Maybe TMI, but...

Ladies, I'm so blocked up! Nurse gave me a laxative suppository two days ago, and it helped a little. But still nothing can get through my system, and yesterday I started throwing up bile (and the only thing I'd managed to eat all day). She put me on a clear liquid diet. I am SO HUNGRY! How do you ask a pregnant woman with an empty stomach to not have anything but water for going on 18 hours?! I'm less bloated this morning, but I haven't managed to pass anything. I don't know when I'm allowed to eat. I'm so hungry, I feel weak.
 
You can have broth on a clear liquid diet too, will at least get some nutrients in you. https://www.drugs.com/cg/clear-liquid-diet.html
 
Thanks Ginger. I'll try again in a few days.

Sorry about your problem.

I threw up bile with my son, it wasn't related to constipation but it was a symptom of pregnancy for me.
Not sure what to suggest really, I can imagine it's horrible. Are you able to drink fruit juices? Apricots are very good usually.
