[EMYJC]

Savvy- many congratulations on the news you are having twins- amazing!

Bridget- so glad all is well on your scan, great pictures.

TTC great news on your OH's blood tests.

Laura- wishing you all the best over the next couple of weeks- have signed up to your journal.

Welcome and congrats to anyone new who has just joined. Waves of nausea woke me up today and I have zero motivation to do anything at all!

 

[savvysaver]

Yay yay yay!!!! So excited! So glad we have twins in the group! Congrats! Wonderf news! Glad both babies are doing well.
Just wondering are you twin natural or conceived with fertility help? Did you have a feeling there were twins?

Thanks! They were conceived naturally and there is no history of twins in my family. A true miracle!

 

[savvysaver]

i'm secretly hoping for Twins this is my only shot at being a mummy and with clomid and a strong maternal twin line... i'm hoping there is more than one. If there is only one in there i'll be just as happy

I secretly hope for twins too...though I know my hubby would freak out! I have always wanted twins, but I will be super happy for one healthy, sticky bean.

I have my first ultrasound in two hours...would they be able to tell if it is twins?

Your wish came true then fantastic news!!


My spotting has stopped again.... i'm a complete wreck and over anxious about this baby, i know i am, i don't think i will relax until i see a baby on the screen with a heartbeat... week on monday seems soooo far away!!

Thank you, I am still surprised! I always hoped but never thought I would actually have twins.

Thinking of you and hoping your spotting is finished. This first trimester is rough, hope the days pass quickly so you can get your scan!

 

[savvysaver]

Thanks everyone, we are still in shock! It probably won't sink in until I see both of them safe and healthy on my next ultrasound.

After saying yesterday I had no symptoms, the sickness start this morning and is only starting to ease now! Thankfully not actually been sick though, just felt like it.

 

[Megamegan]

Oh my goodness, this morning I woke up with the most intense hunger. I felt like I hadn't eaten for days, yet last night at like 10 pm I had a huge pastrami sandwich!! Then about 5 minutes after waking this morning, I put some waffles in the toaster oven, and as they were cooking I got super nauseous and just HAD to eat some corn chips (what I could find) asap. Wow. Eating really did help and I hope that is only a morning thing because I'm not really up for keeping saltines in my pocket all day, although I may have no other choice!

I've never felt more pregnant than this morning, that's for sure.

 

[lynnikins]

im the moodiest mother around at the moment I am sure of that, these hormones sure don't help me manage my kids better. didnt sleep well last night anyway since ds3 was woken up by ds1 going toilet in the middle of night and i had to spend a couple of hours practically in his bed to get him to settle back to sleep both him and ds2 you only really want to wake up if its an absolute emergancy because they do not deal with being woken up well

 

[JACKDOLL]

Hey girls, this thread has been very busy since It was first started... I had introduced myself at the very start... I'm currently 8w2d, had my scan yesterday and seen the heartbeat beating away so fast, no sickness yet, thank god,
Just wondering has anyone took a bath in this first tri, I had a bath today hot/warm and stayed in 5/10 min, felt really bad that I was burning my baby and jumped out...also haven't had sex.. Is anybody else like this?? I'm too scared

 

[Megamegan]

Jackdoll- I take baths almost every day. You're not burning your baby. You just can't let your temperature get above 102. As long as the bath isn't super hot like burning your skin, and don't stay in for an hour... I also drink a lot of water before and after to stay hydrated. I love my baths and not willing to give them up, but as baby grows I'll probably make them even cooler temperature, but still warm enough. If you feel faint or dizzy, then you know it's too hot.

Also I have had sex many times since finding out I'm pregnant, and I've never spotted or had issues, just sometimes a light cramp after which is normal. It's completely safe. Your baby is protected by many layers, a closed cervix with mucus plug, and amniotic fluid. Unless you're high risk, or feel pain during sex, it is recommended to have sex while pregnant and some women find that they enjoy it more than usual because of increased blood flow down there!

Congrats on seeing baby's heartbeat Sounds like you're having a great pregnancy so far!

 

[JACKDOLL]

Thank you Megan for your quick response, I love baths too, my baby was conceived via IVF & I was told no baths or sex in the 2ww, so I think I've just been scared from that and can't get it out of my head. But hopefully ill relax more after seeing heartbeat...

How far along are you? I've read through pages, obviously too much to take in because yous girls have been busy bees.. Lol

 

[Megamegan]

Jackdoll- I think that's just an IVF rule, extra precautions after the transfer since it is such a huge step to take. Congrats on a successful IVF!!! Once you're pregnant, those rules shouldn't matter anymore- I'm sure Google will help you out on that, too. You can always call your RE and make sure if that makes you feel better. I can understand wanting to be so careful after IVF, so I don't blame you at all.

I'm 5 weeks 4 days (around). I have my ticker in the Spoiler in my signature. I keep it in a spoiler because I still talk to my friends on the TTC board.

That is truly amazing!!! I forget the odds of that but very rare! So excited for you! You will love having twins and your twins will be best friends. I wonder if they are identical! Would make them even more rare!
I have an identical twin sister. We were conceived naturally and my m only had one ovary. We were triplets but our triplet didn't make it. Back then they didn't monitor mothers the way they do now. My mom didn't officially know she was carrying twins until she was 6 months along! She tried to tell the dr there was more than one in there. Lol
Anyway enjoy it. My sister and I are best friends and inseparable. Believe me growing to there were many days we hated each other but now our relationship is better than ever.

 

[Feronia]

I started bleeding and cramping last night pretty badly, so I went to the ER. My HCG levels are good, my cervix is closed, and they see a baby with a heartbeat.
They said it could go either way... very nervous. Please send positive vibes my way or give positive stories...

 

[StefNJunk]

I don't remember having to pee so much so early last time around... or being this tired this early! And my skin started breaking out before I even got a BFP... thank you so much, baby, I really appreciate you starting early... lol

 

[StefNJunk]

Feronia, when I was 7 weeks along last time, I started bleeding so badly I described it to my midwife as "like I'm peeing blood." TMI, I'm sure. I bled on and off for a couple weeks. Anyway, if you look at my avatar, that's the little cutie that came from that pregnancy. Fingers crossed for you

 

[ttc126]

I'm on my phone and missed!!!! Congrats on your twinnies Savvy!!!!

Feronia, they are obligated to tell you it will go either way. But please know you're at a higher chance of a good outcome with a strong heartbeat. They called my spotting a threatened abortion, but my ob literally told me once you see a hb, your miscarriage chance is much lower!!!!

 

[MellyH]

Feronia, fingers crossed sweetie!

I've been having sex and having less-than-hot baths. I'd like the baths to be hotter but that's my compromise.

 

[imphope]

Savvy, did you say you got to hear the heartbeats? I didn't know you could hear them before 10 weeks... that is awesome! I'm hoping to hear my little one at my 11.5 week appointment. That is three weeks away and I can't wait! Since I'm moving away, I'll be going to my new OB. I hope I like it there as much as my current one.

 

[chimama]

Congrats Savvy!

ttc126 - glad to hear your DH results went well.

Feronia - Strong heartbeat is always a good sign. Hang in there!

 

[Feronia]

Thanks guys! Fingers are crossed that everything is okay since I saw the heartrate. It really did seem like I was peeing blood, haha... I never once bled or spotted with DD though.

Wow, twins -- mega congrats, Savvy!
