(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

Lol, personally I'd pity the woman. I can't imagine what it must be like to have two sets of twins! That must be such a handful! I greatly enjoy having my singleton pregnancies, I think a twin pregnancy I'd spend worried and nervous the whole time. I'm much more able to feel relaxed and ready with only one coming!

Thats very true. twins wouldnt be my first choice. She a liar though which makes things worse. She already been caught lying about TWO seperate miscarraiges, and now shes saying shes having twins again, but is making sure everyone knows one heartbeat is "weak" so it might just be a single pregnancy. time will tell. She originally told our boss the doctor thought it was triplets. Its just annoying having to share with HER in particular...if I have a pain, she'll have a worse one! lol

That's so sad to hear! No one should ever, ever lie about suffering a miscarriage. That's some severely bad karma coming to her. I'm sorry you have to deal with someone like that!

 

[ready2Bmum]

Its very sad, but also very maddening. When she told me about one of the 'miscarraiges' I was still struggling to conceive and I knew she was lying (theres obviously more to the story which i wont get into) I said it to our manager and sure enough when we put all the bits of the story together, she had lied about having two miscarraiges. She was in trouble in work at the time and it was her way of gaining some sympathy. Theres every chance shes not even pregnant with twins, but if she says shes lost one we'll have to show sympathy just incase shes not lying this time.

I just want to focus on my own pregnancy and enjoy it, but its such a small work place. Im sure i wont care after a while. I still have to tell them in work that Im pregnant.

Well I am partly dreading telling my work as I return from maternity leave this Wednesday. In foir weeks time I'll be 12 weeks and will tell them and then have just 5 months before I go on maternity leave again!

Suffering sickness and heartburn at moment. I also tend to have more regular bowel movements in pregnancy! TMI!!

TWO sets of twins? But this is your FIRST baby, and a first baby ALWAYS trumps a second. This is my third pregnancy, and it's old news now. I'm just "the woman that has babies"

As for her lying; people that can lie about something like that make me sick

 

[Hoping girl 2]

Mmmm. So talking to SIL today (who's also expecting) and she asked me about names. Told her mine the asked hers and turns out one of her boy names is the same as mine! Quite possibly a very awkward situation here! She's three months along too so she'll have her baby before me.

If you do both end up having boys and wanting the same boy name...is it possible to do two different nicknames that sound different enough to not be alike? Or perhaps one of them could go by a middle name.

We have multiple people with the same name in my inlaws family. They all have different nicknames they go by though so it doesn't matter and there's no confusion.

Thanks, that's a good suggestion. We'll take it one step at a time and decide then. DH also feels like it wouldn't be the same now seeing as she wants the name too. Anyway, we're not finding out sex so in sure that when we get out baby it won't matter to us if we couldn't name it what we wanted, well just be happy we've got our baby!! xx

Yea she had identical boys the first time, and apparently these ones are non-identical, which means its just a freak chance that it happened...IF it really has happened. I would doubt shes even pregnant except she has a bit of a bump so i believe her. "the woman who has babies" thats hilarious!

 

[DHBH0930]

Ready for this all day ms to be over...

 

[threegirls]

If she's lying about having a second set of twins that's pretty sick but I do know that your chances of multiples increases once you've had one set. I have one set of identical twin girls and would absolutely LOVE to be blessed with a second set of twins. They are absolutely amazing and anyone who is that lucky should seriously count their blessings.

With that being said, don't think you'll have to share the limelight I'm sure if you feel like she's not being completely truthful some other people may feel the same way too.

That's so funny I know how you feel. This will be my third pregnancy but 4th baby and after the first the attention kind of disappears....it's almost sad to think about it BUT that means you get more one on one time with your new addition and your family so it's worth it

 

[SugarBeth]

I can definitely relate to my pregnancy feeling like "old news" to most. For my second pregnancy, there was excitement when we announced and then not much at all after - no one asked about how the baby was or appointments or anything. This time when we announced, it seemed barely acknowledged by most! Oh well, we couldn't be more excited so we feel enough for everyone who isn't!

With my first pregnancy everyone was over the moon. With the second I could definitely tell a difference, especially in how many people came to visit once we were home.

We haven't even announced to everyone yet. I've kind of kept it a secret except for a select few people. I get the feeling that I'm going to hear a bunch of criticism from people since this is our 4th child. But honestly I don't care. We are so excited and can't wait to have another

 

[Laelani]

This is my first and people that we're telling barely ask about anything so I can relate too even though this is my first one People are strange I guess.

Has anyone tried sea bands for their morning sickness? Dh ran to cvs and bought me some today and they are definitely taking the edge off! They are just wrist bands with a plastic piece that touches a pressure point so there aren't any drugs involved. It's worth a try! They cost about $10

 

[BabyHopeG]

whoa...babyhopesG...how far along are you??? I heard DD at 8w6d...the earliest I have heard is 8 weeks...what kind of doppler do you have???

I'm 7 weeks, I wasn't expecting to hear it at all, I suppose it depends where they are lying, but heartbeat seems very clear on my left side
I just have a normal Doppler with headphones, nothing special or expensive I had it with dd.

This nausea feeling is awful, the only way I can get through it is sleeping! Hoping my wristbands turn up today!!

 

[DHBH0930]

I had tried those wrist bands for sea sickness and they didn't help me then. Maybe they would now, but I am having some success with Queasy Drops and wintergreen Tums.

I am wondering if I've been aggravating my ms with dairy products, I've been having only carbs (pastas, bread, potatoes) and dairy. When looking up what commonly makes ms worse dairy was listed. So I'm going to experiment today and limit dairy and see if I feel any better.

I'm so very tired today, couldn't sleep well at all, tossed and turned all night, and my throat started hurting

On a positive note my first ultrasound is tomorrow!!!

 

[Kaiecee]

So last night had the worst indigestion Hirt so bad then I was sick 3 times and hours laterit went away I'm now scared to eat don't want to feel that again

On a good note Riley slept from 8:40pm to 8:30am what a good boy

 

[AJCart]

I am having major pimple breakouts! I feel like I'm 15 again! LOL.

Going in to my GP Wednesday morning, just for a quick check and to double check blood results to make sure I'm getting everything bub needs in to me. Then have another blood draw the following week!

I am trying to think of something creative to make the big announcement after our 12 week scan, but am drawing a blank!
