congrats lisaed
brothers wedding was good except was in pain all bloody day with my pelvis took paracetamol with no effect really painful everytime i moved. got home last nite exhausted and in pain paracetomal did naff all again. LO moving around well was as if she was trying to stretch her way out which added to the pain. in terrible pain last nite brought tears to my eyes every time i got up in the night struggled so much so rang maturnity assessment ward for some advice and they said it is to do with my cartlidge in my pelvis normally they send u 4 physio but as i am 39 weeks no point as takes a couple of weeks to refer. doctor wont give me codeine as can make baby sleepy and as it can be any day now dont want to risk it which i agree i suppose just wish there was summot i could do do to ease it even a little. so i just have to put up with it for another week great just wat i need will have a word wiv MW 2moro as it is just soooo unbearable. i wouldnt mind but the pain is sort of constant whereas b4 it came and went which gave u a break at least sorry to go on.
hope everyone else is ok.

Oh Jen, I hope you feel a little better now 
No baby news here but "ding ding" round 2. Not content with the unusual barrage of texts last night, we had our first phonecalls from his family... just checking, of course. Funny thing was that the house phone rang and I bloody well knew who it would be, so didn't bother to answer it. 2 seconds later and OH's mobile rings... guess who?!
They genuinely think that a) I want them involved now when they haven't given a crap, that I'm likely to forget the last 9 months of complete disinterest now the bit they are interested in comes close? and b) That ringing right on the girls bedtimes is the way to go?
I am sore, bored out of my tiny mind and so bloody annoyed. I'm going to have serious problems holding my temper when they do eventually roll up. I just hope that I don't go completely mental but at this stage the thought of them fawning all over the baby (when he decides to get here
) makes me very very angry.
Sorry this turned into quite a rant but I can't quite convey just how much I'm upset about it.
For those who don't know, MIL is very controlling, plays the victim when she doesn't get her own way and will not listen to a word anyone else has to say. She will deliberately ignore decisions that we make and try to pressurise us into changing them by doing whatever the hell she wants to in the first place. FIL, bless him, is soft as a brush but allows her to continue on her merry way like the bloody bulldozer that she is. SIL is a younger version of her Mother. MIL and SIL can't stand me because I wont take their crap and probably see this as the time that I will be vulnerable and they will be able to get their own way.
It is not going to happen.
And breathe. Lets try that again. <breathes> Nope still got anger sharks swimming in my brain

big congratulations to all the ladies with their new babies and big labor dust being sent to all you overdo ladies.
to all you ladies who need it. having a baby is an extremely emotional time for everyone, hopefully it'll all die down soon.
to all you ladies who need it. having a baby is an extremely emotional time for everyone, hopefully it'll all die down soon.Goodness me!! You turn your back for (admittedly) 4 weeks and before you know it 35 April Sweetpeas!! Huge congrats to all new mummies and fingers crossed for all the soon to be mummies (get some sleep while you can!!).
Sorry it's taken so long to post any pictures - it has been so hectic with the twins it's quite ridiculous. i shall have to ask Tash for some multi tasking tips I think.
Anyway here is Sam and Lucy ranging from about 20 minutes old to two weeks old
Brief Birth story is as follows:-
Arrived at hospital at 10am Friday 18th March - monitored for 1 hr then given some prostaglandin (spell?) gel - monitored for another hour after this.
Nothing happened whatsoever - cervix not even soft enough or open enough to attempt breaking of waters. Had to wait six hours for another dose of gel.
Second dose given at around 7pm - again nothing much doing - sent hubby home at 10pm to get some sleep with the proviso that he comes back for 6.30am.
No room on the labour ward for me so had to stay on the ward where they bring in ladies who are in labour waiting to be examined (it was like Rachel on Friends!!) - still amazingly even with all the panting and moaning going on around me managed to get some sleep.
Woke at 5am with some twinges - nothing my trusty tens machine couldn't handle, then examined at 6am by midwife who decided that waters could now be broken so off to the delivery room. Hubby arrived just in time to join in the fun - waters being broken - not a pleasant experience.
Contractions were getting stronger so at 2-3cm dilated (about 11am) was given an epidural (part of my birth plan and stongly recommended for twins). Unfortuantely the epidural left a "window" on the my right side where i could feel everything but I couldn't physically move as my legs were numb. TORTURE!! I knew that all the anaesthetist had to do was to adjust the line in my back slightly but she was called to an emergency and didn't come back to me for 3 HOURS during which time it felt I'd just had one long contraction with no break at all inbetween.
Anyway once the epidural was working as it should and I'd stopped moaning and groaning like a farmyard animal everything was calm once more and I decided now would be a good time for a snooze. Midwives agreed but decided to check on my progress first - er fully dilated and head right there ready to be pushed!!
Spat my dummy out at this point as I just didn't have the energy to push - baby was quite happy to wait so had a rest for half an hour or so before the real work started.
Pushed for about 20 minutes to get Sam out, they then broke Lucy's waters, whacked up the syntocin so that I was getting strong contractions to push her into the birth canal then 2 pushes and she was out.
Couple of stitches and and a couple of hours later was up and about having a shower.
OOps - sorry that wasn't as brief as I'd intended. Hard to stop once you get going.

Kenny Congratulations they are lovely xxxxx Sounds like things went to plan with your birth as well apart from the epidural well done x
Jessop fxd things get going after your sweep today
Hayley glad you are more comfortable today
AFM, well today is my EDD according to my dates (the MW is going for the 26th still) I am fully uncomfortable and want bubs out. Seeing the MW tomorrow and think I will ask if she will do a sweep, I am booked in for one next week on the 26th and I guess she can only say no.
I klnow the weather is beautiful at the moment and I do love the sunshine but it is too hot for me to be this fat and swollen. I have not got any summery maternity clothes as bought for the winter and its not worth buying anything now so my ooutfits look very unusual!
