Imphope GREAT scan photo! Yay congrats!

SurpriseBub- never realized the good timing on the Black Friday/post-Christmas sales! SCORE! Thanks for pointing that out

Does anyone else have a painful tummy? Mine is like, painful to touch. All in the front of my abdomen. It has been this way for weeks but it's worse as time goes on. I don't know if it's 100% digestion related, or what. It's just weird. I'm hungry all the time but trying not to over-eat. But, it feels kinda like a tight knot in my belly and sometimes cramps up if I twist my torso or push to use the bathroom... so that's why I think it's my digestive system.

I went to an exercise class last night and it's knackered me! Think I will keep it up though because I'm hoping to not put too much weight on this time! Easier said than done though...

did you mention this a few Weeks ago? if it's been going on for a while you could ask a mw or Dr. I've still got twinges from the uterus expanding but they're sharp quick pains which go away if I slow down and rubbing my abdomen helps so nope definitely don't have sensitivity. maybe others will have had similar symptoms, hope this helps!

What's everybody thinking for names? I've got lots of girls names but not a single boys name that I *love*!

 

[2nd time]

All 4 of my kids names start with the letter A so at least the strating letter is narrowed down

 

[savvysaver]

I am already in a panic over names, I have a few girls names that I might like, no boys names that I like and of course I need two names! Worried that whatever we choose I won't love it forever and wish I had picked something different. Also trying to figure out if I want the names to start with the same letter for the twins. Good thing I still have 28ish weeks to decide. Never thought it would be this hard to pick names!

 

[bounceyboo]

is anyone else not getting stretching pains anymore?i don't have any, boobs aren't sore anymore and not feeling like crap, im getting worried do you think somethings wrong?i was spotting for a week up until last Wednesday and I got a scan saw baby with a hb and they said everything was fine to come back for my 3 mths appointment.

Snap! lol I love a certain name, always have done but now i can't find anything to match it if it's two girls i'm having. I would want them to start with the same Initial too! If its one of each, i have a boys name but DH is not keen lol If it's 2 boys i'll be starting from scratch as we only have one name we like lol It was hard enough when it was one to pick... x

 

[swanxxsong]

Bounceyboo I am going through the same mental worries. Saw baby at 7 weeks and all was perfect. But suddenly feeling no more nausea, though still exhausted all the time. It's mind games. They're frustrating! lol. My MS faded at 8 weeks with my daughter and all was ok.

We have a boys name we like but no middle name for it. No idea on of a girls name. We didn't choose names for A until closer to our 20 week scan and if she had been a boy, we may still be nameless. LOL. We couldn't decide on a boys name last time.

 

[Katy78]

Congrats on beautiful scans ladies!
Mine is on for tomorrow morning. Getting nervous.
Names... We have a girl name picked since before my first pregnancy which resulted in a boy so no go. And if it's another boy, we'll have problems finding a name again. Our chosen name for a girl is Ariana. We don't have middle names here so at least we won't have to find two names. If we had twin girls, I like the combination of Ariana and Briana (one will be perfectly enough though ).

 

[MiniBump]

Bounceyboo, I thought symptoms did ease around 8ish weeks when the placenta started to take over (unless I've made that up?!) x

Before I knew it was twins I wasn't sure if I really wanted to find out the gender, but my hubby really wanted to know. Well now that it is twins I have to find out, there is no way I could ever think of 4 names...or 6 names if I wanted a different b/g combo. I do have two middle names I picked out back when I found out I was pregnant - after our Grandparents, one for a boy and one for a girl and wouldn't have trouble picking out more of those...it is just the first names I am totally lost on.

There are names that I like but some of them are names of my friends children...is it weird to use those? I have a fear I will fall in love with two names and then find out a friend due before me chooses that name!

 

[savvysaver]

bounceyboo, some of my symptoms have disappeared over the past week or so. My boobs aren't as sore most of the time and I am not as exhausted as I was before. My appetite has returned but I feel some light cramping/pushing in the abdomen at times. When is your next appointment?

A long 3 weeks until my next appointment - I am just trusting everything is okay with the twins. I have read that sometimes symptoms ease up and then come back worse. Hoping it is just the placenta taking over!

 

[MellyH]

savvy, I have two good friends (who are friends with each other as well) who have boys with the same name (Alex) and it's fine, I don't think either of them cares!

I have a pretty short list of girls names, and a much longer list of boys names - boys names are hard! I don't 'love' any of them.

Girls:
Magdalena
Clara
Bethany
Darcy

Boys:
Arthur
Elijah
Elliot
Hugo
Jack
Louis
Oscar
Reid
Theodore
Walter
William

Achievement unlocked! Vomited from morning sickness for the first time this morning. Hopefully it doesn't become a daily thing.

 

[jmandrews]

We had our ultrasound this morning. I was soooo nervous, but all that went away when i saw baby #2 on the screen. So tiny and cute already! Heart was beating away at 163 bpm. I am 8 weeks 4 days due Feb. 21, 2015. Could you please change my due date. Thanks! We are so thrilled and relieved that our rainbow is healthy. Here is an ultrasound pic and a pic of Everlee holding the ultrasound picture of her baby brother or sister.

DH won't even discuss names until we know the gender. i want to though!
