Yay Jess! So pleased all is well. Can you post a piccy?

Spiffy how's bump coming along??? New picture??

Xxx

Well, I just took this picture the other day. I swear I'm hearing two heartbeats on my Doppler, too, but that makes me think I'm just not doing it, right, and my imagination is filling in the gaps. I just asked on 1st tri, but maybe one of you knows the answer to this: I measured my fundal height, since I can easily feel the top of my uterus when laying down, and it's 5cms from my pubic bone, so how many weeks would I be measuring? Anyone know how many "weeks" they add on to account for the part of your uterus that's below your pubic bone? Because obviously I'm not just 5 weeks pregnant.

Luvymom, who is your OBGYN? Because I also will be delivering at IMC, because I too love my OBGYN there! I use Dr. Brown, but Dr. Ponder delivered my son and she was fabulous, too. But wow, that's quite a drive for your appointments!

Jess, can't wait to hear back about your scan! I'm sure everything will be great.

Zephyr, did your MW give you an explanation for why you're measuring that high? Or did she make it sound like it was "just one of those things"?

As for me, I'm sitting on pins and needles today hoping that the MS I had yesterday was just a fluke and everything will be back to normal today. All day yesterday it was a constant battle with nausea and hunger, and when I ate, I'd feel better, but I'd feel so sick that nothing sounded appetizing. It gives me a whole new appreciation for you ladies who deal with this and worse in every pregnancy.

no she just said its common with the more pregnancies you have and is nothing to worry about at this stage.

I told her I think my uterus must be quite high because ive felt movement right up by my bellybutton and thats when she checked and said yup that would of been baby.

 

[zephyr]

Ms in any shape or form is hard..... Specially when your kept busy with other babies so taking 5 is even harder.

So ladies who have bubs with a small age gap what did you do about pushchairs? When indie was born Corban was 2.5 so only needed a buggy board. Indie will be about 18 months and will be winter so should I be thinking double???

Xxx

Mine two are two in may and they still use their pushchair
I would recommend a double that can turn into a single.
We started out with a side by side double then we ended up getting a phil and teds dash which is a single but you clip a toddler seat onto the back of it.

Something like that would be good, im not sure if you have phil and teds where you are but I am sure there will be something similar

Yay Jess! Glad it went well and you can be relieved of worry! I was to supposed to have my appt next week but we are going out of town so I had to postpone to the week after.

Spiffy, I see Froerer. He delivered my 2nd and was my doc with my 3rd, someone else delivered cux they didn't call him when he was expecting them too! I wish they would have. Bugs me still. But he is so good it's worth the drive. I had my 4th in CO and realized that not all dr's are the same so I really don't want to find another new one when I know one that I already love. Plus my family lives close to IMC so that helps. I don't have family here in Logan. I think it's worth my drive. Just a little worried about snow and the canyon when I deliver in November.

I don't get on here much but good luck to all you ladies on here!

 

[zephyr]

Jess, I'm so happy your ultrasound went well! Must be such a relief. I cannot wait until mine next week!

By the way, I have been googling 9/10 week twin bumps. Someone needs to come give me a good slap!

do you think you are having twins?
hehe
before I found out I was googling twin bumps, stalking the twin threads and searching 'symptoms of twins'
At the time I thought I must be crazy but it turns out my gut feeling was spot on

I was able to find hbs early with the twins because my fundus was above my pubic bone at 9 - 10 weeks.
it wasnt above my bone this time round the same time.
Im quite hazy with actual dates it feels so long ago

theres actually a may 2012 due date thread here I posted in alot that has all that info in it

From my understanding the uterus reaches the top of the pubic bone around 12 weeks however as my midwife says it can be larger if you already have had babies

I keep telling myself it's not likely, but I can't seem to stop thinking about it, especially everytime I see or tough my belly since it's so huge already! Also, my fundus is 5cm above my pubic bone already, and I'm actually getting some MS for the first time! I'll have to see if I can find your post.

Great news about the scan Jess!

Spiffy, your bump certainly is impressive! When is your scan?

My scan isn't until 7th May- 3 weeks tomorrow! Then consultant appointment the week after to discuss elective section.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Zephyr I actually found it before you replied (I could saved myself a a few minutes of looking if I had just waited! ). I read through all of the posts you made up until the one where you found out it was twins, and I'll have to say, it was pretty amusing, since I already knew the end result. But the hunger/nausea/hunger cycle you described sounds like what I've been dealing with the past few days.

I'm sure after all this thinking and worrying, it will just be one and then I'll be calling myself silly for wasting so much time reading twin forums. After all, I had 13 dreams about twins and triplets before my first ultrasound with DS and he was only one. I've already had a fair amount of multiples dreams this time, but I'm sure it because they're on my mind.

Cangaroo, my scan is next Thursday, so for better or worse, I'll know in 9 days!

 

[Cangaroo]

Ooh, 9 days! How exciting!

 

[zephyr]

Haha cool! I know its so obvious reading it now. I mean at the time I wanted to say I think its twins but didnt because I didnt want to feel like an idiot lol

anyways I found the post at 10w3d I was measuring 12 -13 weeks and the midwife had found one heartbeat.

I've been wondering if it's twins for a few weeks now, but also didn't want to sound stupid, because I know it's very unlikley.

Hehe ya never know
Can't wait for your update!

Love the pics, Jess! How cool that they did some 3D pictures for you, too! And your photography is beautiful.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Spiffy your bump has me wondering about twins it's very impressive! I'd say I'm a little thicker but it's still more bloat than anything else. Not long till you find out!

Jess lovely lovely pictures! My sil is a newborn photographer. Your bubbas are beautiful and bump looks great. How awesome you got a 3d picture! Amazing.

Zephyr I bought a phil and teds sport when I fell pregnant with the molar but after we found out I sold it..... We had a terrace house with a step up and it was so heavy to lift in and out. Now we have a porch it doesn't matter. I like the bugaboo donkey but it's sooooooooooooo expensive!
