I'm glad everything went well at your appt Tobaira! I can't believe so many of you are just a few weeks from having a baby!

My appt Monday was fine, they just did a blood and urine test. My hcg level was at 175 (I don't know if that's low for 16dpo) and they redid it today to make sure they're increasing this time. I'll find out tomorrow what my level is. I am having more symptoms this time around, my boobs are killing me already and I am having some crazy dreams. I'm hoping all this is a good sign. I am having some weird aching feeling in my legs...did any of you have this? It's pretty much everyday and they're not really cramping, just kind of aching. I've been reading that I might just need to eat more potassium so I've been trying to eat a banana everyday to see if it starts to help.
 
so glad to hear that your appointment went well future and you are starting to feel symptoms, i'd say thats a good sign :) hope your levels come back great tomorrow, i'm sure they will. i can't remember having achy legs, but did suffer leg cramps around week 22 for a while, they seem to have eased off slightly now. i think i stopped my vits at around week 16 when i ran out, and when the leg cramps got bad, i started taking them again. not sure if they did help or it was coincidence!

glad to hear of your twin girlies being fine tobaira, so cute thinking of them in there together. and funny that they can switch position, yet they can still determine which one was twin A and which was twin B lol you'd think they'd get muddled up.

i've got 2 weeks left at work and counting lol. was feeling a big lack of organisation for xmas until today, i'd only bought 1 pressie but i picked up another 3 today. we're getting the decs up this weekend, after our antenatal class on saturday hopefully, if not sunday.

can't quite believe i'm 32 weeks tomorrow...really need to get my hospital bag packed, i'll feel much better once thats done in case i was to go into early labour. my OH is convinced she'll be early for some reason.

hope everyone is feeling ok today :)
 
So glad your appts went well tobaira and future! You must be relieved tobaira, and so happy to be able to lighten up a little on bed rest. Bed rest is so boring and depressing sometimes!!! Future your numbers sound right in the correct range!! I know there is such a huge range, but my guess (and it's just a guess as I dont know too much) is that it depends when the baby implants. I think I read that your body does not let out hcg until implantation. I would guess that if you implated super early at like 5-6 dpo you would have a higher number at 16dpo, and if you implanted at like 12 dpo you would have a lower number. That is just my uneducated theory though! Yours seem right smack in the middle so between that and your increasing symptoms I think that is a very good sign!!!! You must be so anxious for tomorrow. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way and can't wait to hear tomorrow!

Smart on not telling people the names Tobaira. Early on my MIL asked if we had thought of names, and we told her we were thinking Giada for a girl. Well she continued to call the baby Giada and I was kinda annoyed because 1. we didn't even know if it was a girl, and 2. we hadn't had time to really consider other names. I didn't want to say anything to her because she is so nice and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. The dr thought it was a boy, and then when they found out it was a girl we told MIL that we were deciding not to use Giada so she would stop calling the baby that. We ended up going with that name, but we had wanted to explore other options first. Plus I was having so many complications that early on I wasn't confident the baby would make it, and I didn't want a name associated to her, because if something happened I would have probably picked something a little more spiritual for her or something. We still don't think of her as Giada, to us she is baby and that is what we call her. Then we decided not to tell people abt the middle names we were discussing, as we didn't want their input and didn't want to say anything til decided (which we are still not) and so I told everyone that we haven't decided, and MIL and others have been very eager to give advice on middle names!! I have people giving me lists of names that they think would fit lol. I told dh that next time I am saying "yes we have picked a first and middle name and we are not telling anyone" THat way no one can call the baby anything inaccurate or feel the need to bombard us with name ideas! Sorry for the rant!

I'm counting down the days with you dreamer! And gotta get my bag packed too, esp being high risk for preterm birth. I figure the baby will either come early and I will be at work and have no bag packed, or she'll come late and I will have wished she came early!

Thanks for the no google advice claire! I need to remind myself every day!!!!

Hope everyone is well! :)
 
Hi ladies, haven't been on properly for a while, seem to have been crazy busy these past few weeks.
Glad everyone seems to be doing well apart from the usual aches and pains.
Can't believe that babies will be starting to arrive soon, i remember most of you getting your bfps, time has flown!
Glad twins have grown tobaira and that your appointment went ok futuremama, i'm fairly sure i had leg pains just as i got my bfp.

We reached V day today :) also had my flu jab, man the nurse was miserable! and she bloody hurt me! Least it's over and done with now, i hate needles!!!
 
So happy everyone is doing so well..

Future your numbers sound great.. hope tomorrow brings a nice doubled number.. or more :) and yay for symptoms..

Tobira-so happy to hear the twins are doing well.. we also have our names (not a boys 100%) picked but telling no one.. :) everyone has an opinion..

My appt went well passed my gtt.. go back in a month then its every two weeks.. so next one is 32 weeks.. :) in Jan.. crazy how fast time is going.. couple weeks to xmas.. finshed up almost 2 things left to get for presents.. then its wrapping.. did some online im waiting on..

Hope your all well..
 
Well I just heard back from my dr and my numbers doubled!! They went from 175 to 376! So my next appt is December 21 for an ultrasound :happydance::happydance:
 
sooooooooooooo pleased for you future :)
what does this make your due date?

we also have a name picked but haven't told anyone - except I've found out OH has told his mum, dad, sister and grandparents. i want to keep it a surprise, even from my family, everyone knows she's a girl, so i think it will be nice to announce when she's born, plus i want to make sure she suits the name. so i've sworn his family to secrecy and not to let on that they know what it is (both our families live in separate countries so its not like they chat or anything).

i also couldnt be doing with other peoples opinions. there one woman at work in particular who is so opinionated. she's already said in front of everyone that alexander/alexandra is a horrible name and doesnt know why anyone would choose it (one of my colleagues sons is called alexander!). and also that she hopes its not one of those silly prancy names like summer or autumn. i actually love those names, but know people with children who are already called that so wouldnt use them. i said to her, you don't know what my name is so be careful what you say!!!

Good answer to your coworker!! I too feel weird choosing a definite name when I haven't see the baby yet. Sometimes they come out looking different than the name you picked!! I think that is why I still call her baby lol.
 
Thanks!! My due date is August 11th, 3 days after my grandma's birthday :) We actually have had a girl's name picked out for a while, and I already have a feeling this one's a girl. We love the name Maya, and if we have a girl, that will definitely be her name. I don't know if we'll have a middle name since dh and I don't have middle names.
 
Awww so happy to hear Future.. cant wait for your scan now.. :) Try to stay positive, even though it is hard.. and those numbers and symptoms are very reassuring.. :)

I cannot figure out a boys name that im in love with yet.. i have a girls but no boys.. there are names i like but nothing has just stuck yet.. my daughter's name is mckenna so trying to find something that sounds good with that too..

Dreamer-thats what we did.. found out the sex with her and told, but kept the name a secret from everyone.. now this time both will be.. :)
 
Yay, fantastic news future :)
Lilrojo we're the same. We have our girls name, but cant decide on a boys name. There are lots I like, but none I love.
I am also keeping our names under our hat, there is a massive baby boom where I live and dont want anyone using our name haha
 
So pleased for you futuremama :) enjoy the rest of your pregnancy x x

hi guys, i have had an exciting couple of days....NOT!!!

i was taken in to hospital on wed with shivering and fever symptoms....tests came back that i had a vaginal infection...my heart rate was 120 and the baby was up on 170....slightly high!....my urine results are not back yet but they wer convinced i have a kidney infection too...a double wammy! i got a swab taken on tue, so its prob the interference down below that caused the bacterial infecton!

so i had to stay in hosp on wed nite and got home eventually late last nite. they gave me IV antobiotics and now im on oral antibiotics for 5 days....i only came off the flagyl last thursday.....so i think im offically allergic to pregnancy!

baby is kicking the life out of me which is a good thing...but i feel like crap! the doc says its now full steam ahead for the 9th jan....i think he must be thinking that taking the stitch out then will put me into labour.....im dreading it.

i do hope i can hold out till the 9th though...

so glad that your apt went well future....believe me time will fly!

im still stuck on conor james....even though james doesnt like conor i dont care, i havent discussed it with him since so im going to wait until i go through the labour and he will give in!!!
only thing is a boys heart rate is usually around the 120 mark and girls at 145bpm so the last couple of days have made me think did the tech really see a wee willy or not???? cause his heart rate was around 150 once i started gettin the antibiotics.....maybe it was high cause of the infections....ill ask the doc on tue..im being seen weekly now!
 
Great news Futuremama!! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!!

Oh no Trixie!! So sorry you'e had such a rough time during your pregnancy. Only one month away and you'll be holding your sweet baby boy and forgetting all about what you went through to have him. I'm sure if the tech saw a willy, then it's safe to say you're having a boy. I'm having a boy too and lowest his heart rate has been is 147. Usually it's over 150. And I've seen his willy 3 times on an ultrasound!!

I love everyone's names that you all have picked out. Mine is in my signature. We definitely haven't kept it a secret, and as far as I know, no one has said anything negative about it.

We have our childbirth class this weekend. Tonight and tomorrow all day. We opted for a weekend option since I work too late during the week to take the class offered in the evening. I'm hoping we'll get a lot of out of it. I'm a nurse, but no really nothing about labor and deliver except the small amount I learned in nursing school which I've pretty much forgotten anyways.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
 
Awww so sorry to hear what you have been through Trixie.. but yay that your getting to the end.. I think the hb is a complete old wives tale.. this baby has been lower than mckennas so we will see in 2 months.. wow jan is so close.. :)
 
So sorry you're having a rough time trixie, little one will be here before you know it and all this will fade into a distant memory.
Look after yourselves hun and take it easy x x
