Hi I am due 9th Dec. x
I'm in Canada and they used to do a bunch of scans during a pregnancy but with all the cut backs they have been doing with the health care system they give only one scan at 20 weeks unless you're a high risk case then you get 2-3 depending on the situation. For me I have a high chance of multiples so I am going to fight my doctor on getting and early scan in addition to my 20 week one because finding out there's more than one in there at 20 weeks is way too late! We need time to gather stuff.
I need a nap every day too! Especially with my toddler having sleeping problems right now!My most consistent symptom right now is fatigue!! I can't go without a nap everyday
I never heard that you could be high risk for twins, just that they were in your side of the family. What makes you high risk for them? Sorry if I'm being nosey, just interested!

OH is a triplet so multiples are strong in his family and in my family there's multiple sets of twins. Not much to tell really lol.

That's cool! Though your husband's side doesn't count. It's only your side, as twins are formed from the amount of eggs that you release, not the amount of sperm a man releases. Identical twins also don't count, as they're moreso a malfunction of the egg that splits, it's just a freak genetic thing that does not get passed down in genetics. Sorry, I've read a lot about twins when my SIL was pregnant with hers (I have identical nephews)and I have a bunch of twins in my family so I wanted to learn a lot about them in case I ever have them (though I pray for singletons! I don't think I could handle the stress of twin pregnancies and deliveries! ) When someone says high risk, I automatically think it's doctor diagnosed, but I haven't heard of them diagnosing a high risk of twins so I didn't know if I was missing a medical term for twins!
What foods have you all been told to avoid?
For me:
Sushi (& some other seafood, didn't really listen to that part since I don't eat any type of seafood anyway) undercooked meat (no pink), limit caffeine, soft cheeses, and cold lunchmeat (can have it if heated to steaming, so toasted subs & sandwiches are fine)

Same here, though I do zero caffeine - I never drank coffee and soda has so many bad chemicals for pregnancy, it's worse for the baby than the caffeine is. I think that covers the food though, and after what I've been through, I decided not to take unnecessary risks with silly things like food so I stay away from them for the 9 months.
First meal after birth though is going to be a large Italian (not toasted) sub with a big coke!
@BabyHopeG: So happy for you and your good news!
AFM: 4 MORE DAYS TILL MY 1ST SCAN!!!!! I know its pretty much a sin to say this but....I'm hoping the weekend flies by, I can't wait for it to be over so I can have my scan
I have only thrown up the once, and that was the only time I truly felt nauseous. However I think what I've been having is just a different version of ms throughout the day. I hardly have an appetite still, not much sounds good, mostly plain soft foods like pasta and potatoes. Even then when I eat I can't eat much without feeling SOOO full, and that overly full feeling seems to last forever (just a hint of nausea with it)... it lasts so long that then I have trouble figuring out if now I'm feeling hunger pains or if I'm still full I'm just having a hard time understanding my stomach right now, sending mixed signals and just feeling *off* most the time....
I guess I'd consider that my ms...its milder then what a lot of you have, but its definitely from the pregnancy since this is not normal for me to feel this way
