Oh my! You ladies are brave haha. I cant even really give the birth much thought tbh it scares me. I had all my 3 babies in hospital and will have these two there also. I am not sure what hospitals are like over where you are, but here as long as you have a great midwife/and or specialist the hospitals aren't too bad. My last experience was awful adn put me off having more kids (almost) but that was one bad apple. I don't think I could do it at home, I wouldn't be able to relax just because I know if on the odd chance something were to go wrong, by the time I even got to hospital it could end badly, where as in hospital I know I wouldn't have that worry there.
Good luck if you do end up doing it! I would if I could but I worry too much also after 2 natural births I will be definitely having epidural
Minivan - My vomiting hasn't actually left me at all, it eased off to mornings only now and some weeks are great, maybe once or twice but lately it has been every morning.
Even if I have not eaten or drank yet I still throw up and my stomach clenches and it hurts cos there is nothing to throw up.
My midwife said that it will probably stay till the end, I was hopeful that I may get some relief from it but I don't think so.....it sounds really sad but its actually become part of my morning routine the past couple of weeks
I was just saying in another thread that I am just starting to enjoy the pegnancy a bit but can't wait till I dont need to spew again!! I am well and truly over that part. Like so over it, its like a chore now every time I know its gunna happen I stomp slowly down to the bathroom sighing and shaking my head lol.
I can't remember when I posted here last but I had my GT test done on Friday just waiting for the results which I will probably get next week at my appointment.
I am still waiting on my hospital card to show up in the post with my specialist appointment.
Not much else been happening, aside from getting huge! I noticed today my belly touches the drivers wheel in the car and I'm sort of left thinking "Am I actually going to be able to drive in 6 weeks time?"
Is this an issue or is is different each day?? I don't get a tun of movement to begin with I get some in the morning, afternoon, and night but its not for long stretches of time at all. I know they sleep a lot but how often do you feel your babies, and for how long a period each time??

... like they'll take actions before necessary... like 'OMG twin 2 has not arrived and its been 15 minutes so lets ventuse/forceps'....(in my hospital it says twin 2 should arrive within 15 minutes whereas it is more accurate for a natural twin birth between 20-45 minutes.) So I dont want rush/rash decisions to be made... I need to start writing an 'ideal' birth plan and an emergency birth plan. But a good thing that did come out of the meeting with consultant is that when we meet again in 4 weeks we are going to talk more about the birth and he suggested we also meet with a head midwife in the labour ward. I just cant deal with the stress at the minute!! No wonder my bp is going up! But I do feel lucky that I have some close friends that are well informed and advocates of natural birth (even twins) so they are encouraging & supportive... (the only ones!) xx
