Ooh I just looked at the baby k'tan wrap and ordered one straight away, bit impulsive :) Went on the US amazon site and got one for £43, they wanted over £120 on the UK site! Rather excited. We didn't take to carrying with dd so really hoping to make it work this time.
 
Hahaha! Quick work, maisie. :lol: Glad you found a deal!
 
well im still sick had an awful day feeling sooo ill :( also not showing and still at a 4lb loss im 5'8 but also classed as obese and im on number 4 I don't expect to show until about 20 weeks x
 
I have a friend who really likes her K'Tan. The only negatives I've heard from anyone in the BW groups are that the sizing is sometimes tricky and that they eventually don't work as comfortably, as with any stretchy wraps/carriers, when baby gets heavier. But it has been recommended to me as a good little squishie wrap/carrier. :) And different people feel differently about stretchy carriers -- I love my Moby, I lived for it until she hit about 15-17 pounds, then it hurt. I know some who've gone to 25 pounds with theirs. Totally personal pref but you'll get good use from it, and they do resell nicely when you're done!

I just happened to already have a Moby when it was recommended to me so I didn't also buy the K'tan. The most carriers I've had under one roof at the same time was 8 and my husband was ready to massacre me... :rofl:
 
I'm not even sure why I'm thinking about wraps anymore. It can't be possible to wear twins for very long!
 
You can wrap twins! There's a group on facebook called Tandem Babywearing. As they get bigger, some people wear one on the back one on the front.

Has anyone been blacking out? Often when I stand up from lying down, I black out, and today I actually fainted. I think it's due to the horrible heat, increased blood volume, and low blood pressure (which I had with DD, but not until later), but I'll ask my midwife about it on the 13th.
 
I had my blood appt today. Not to bad yet, but my hemoglobin is already down to 10.6. Seems to be behaving the same as with my son. Expecting to need a transfusion around 20 weeks again.

They did weigh me and i gained about 1.5lbs! :) My blood pressure was 105/70 so a little low but not bad.

Feronia, I've been having the same! I haven't passed out yet, but how scary for you!!! Hope you're feeling a bit better now!
 
Feronia, my mum was saying she didn't get morning sickness but she fainted a lot when she was pregnant with my and afterwards my sister.
 
all this wrap talk is really helpful! I did hear about the k'tan a little while ago and put it on my amazon wishlist just because it looked so easy. wraps are intimidating to me- it looks like some crazy weaving has to go on to get them on safely.. or I'm just lazy haha.

I'll be taking a plane trip on august 14th to visit some family friends in colorado and meeting up with my mom there too, so I will be telling her. I don't exactly want to announce it to everyone, so it's going to be tricky to not be obvious about it (and I really hope I don't start showing in the next couple weeks!).
I'm also super nervous because of the fact that it wasn't planned and I'm scared her reaction might be negative. I don't want to ruin the whole trip if she needs time to adjust (plus it would be incredibly awkward, we'd have to act normal with our friends for a week), but I also don't want to tell her on the very last day and regret not having more time to talk about it in person. I thought about talking over the phone before the trip but that seems impersonal, although it would be easier. I don't know! what would you guys do?
it's just hard when I don't know what to expect for a reaction. this should be a happy time and it just kills me that it's been negative so far with my OH and very stressful.

feronia, I often have to catch myself if I stand up too fast or have been up for too long, I get dizzy and feel like fainting, but it hasn't actually happened. I just drink some water and usually feel okay. hope you get some answers!
 
Well to make up for having such a crappy sicky day weve just booked our gender scan for the 27th august which has really cheered me up :) is anyone else booking gender scans? x
 
feronia, back like a month+ ago I was getting super dizzy/lightheaded. I still get that way if I am really hungry or stand up and start walking right away. I now try to stand up slowly and then start moving slowly so that if I do feel dizzy I can sit right back down instead of falling. It gets scary when you blackout or faint, hope you can get it under control.

I would definitely invest in a wrap or two with twins! I watched twins as an au pair, and one of us was always wearing one or the other- it is super helpful when doing things like cooking to set one up somewhere and have the other strapped in. Also is a top way to soothe a crying baby and bounce them to sleep. I can't wait to have my bub wrapped up in our wrap! :happydance:
 
emily that's so exciting! I have an ob appointment in the morning so I'm hoping it gets mentioned then!


Okay...someone tell me it's not just me that's having angry little "outbursts". I had a really funny one while in Vegas a few weeks a go when a guy next to us at a restaurant was talking so loud when all the other tables were quiet. Everyone around was sick of listening and when he said "Oh man I just have so many stories from college..." I but in and said "excuse me, I really don't need to hear any of your stories, can you keep it down please?". I don't know who was more shocked, me, him or my husband! That is sooooo not me!

Anyway, we recently got our own private car space at our marina and the car next to us is the owner of the new pub at our marina. The problem being she can't park for shit! I had to put her mirror in today just to get into my own car. Anyways to cut a long story short instead of just putting up with it I left a note on her car before I came down to the boat. Again, something I would never ever do! I tried wording it as nicely as possible, but it's hard to write something like that without coming across as a total bitch.......oh well!!
 
Feronia, I hope the doctor can provide some insight as to the fainting... I have not fainted or blacked out, but I've gotten dizzy and out of breath really easily. I know for me exercise would help a little, but I'm so lazy lately.

Captain- you're not alone! Yet, those who aren't pregnant don't really get it. Last night I had an explosive argument with my DH, he was just in a bad mood and I tend to feel that energy and he never just says "Sorry I'm just in a bad mood", so I ended up screaming at the top of my lungs like a little child, and it seriously hurt my throat. lol. Then he came up and we talked about it and I cried really hard for like 30 minutes, but I mean, it was like I had lost control. I was intensely emotional. I cry extremely easily now, I can turn on the water works at any given moment. Haha. It's no big deal until it means me screaming and bawling about my husband holding in his emotions... then it tends to get the better of me! And I hear this doesn't really go away til like way after birth. So, yay!

Does anyone else have sensitive teeth? All the sudden I have sensitivity to hot and cold. I've had this before in my life and it's extremely annoying and inconvenient, but Sensodyne helps, so I'm gonna start using that tonight.

Also my hips and lower back are really starting to hurt, especially if I walk a lot or if I'm cleaning around the house a lot. I read that everything softens (joints and such) so I suppose this is normal, but I feel like an old lady!

I have noticed this when drinking cold beverages and sometimes with eating chocolate.

My Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy states that cavities, loose teeth and gum disease are all common because of hormonal changes during pregnancy. I was flossing every day anyway, but am trying to do an extra good job after realizing that was another joy of pregnancy!

I have definitely been more touchy lately. My husband was just talking to his mom, and she said that everyone in his family is referring to the baby as a boy. It isn't a big deal, but for some reason I am sitting here feeling super annoyed! (Not me- I am pretty easy going!). The rational part of me doesn't care, but the pregnant side is annoyed! I also find myself hoping it is a girl, just to prove them wrong!!

I am sure you have already thought about this.... But could it be anemia? Did they do a blood test panel for you at any recent appts?
 
I absolutely love this thread and reading through everything. Find it very helpful and reassuring :)
Good luck to everyone who has their scans very soon. Mine is tomorrow, I will be 12+5. I am so nervous and scared!
 
I've always had sensitive teeth since I was lil.
I had my first appointment yesterday and had an ultrasound
As well. According to the ultrasound my EDD is 2/20/15. But since
I had a c-section with my son 6yrs ago I have to have one
With this baby. So they are doing that on 2/13/15. Pout!
