- Thread starter k4th
- Start date
Thanks pgfairy & fuschia!! 
Scan went perfectly!! Bubs was doing somersaults & kicking away. I'm so, so happy to have reached this point!!!! We took dd who wasn't massively impressed but has since suggested that bubs should have her buggy because she's a big girl & doesn't need it anymore - too cute!! Oh & they moved my dates forward - I'm due on July 22nd not 25th now
Feel soooooo much better. Now just have to let some people at work know they're on their own for a year come July !

Yay so happy to hear that k4th. Congratulations on a happy little bean, I know the last few weeks have been pretty nerve wracking for you. Really happy to hear bubs is contented in there.

I'm the same, I have an EDD of July 26th but have been dating into August so just kind of floating between the two groups.
Hi everyone! I'm doing well, just hanging out trying to wait until the 13 w milestone. Had a scan yesterday and saw baby just jumping and dancing about.
My blood pressure is pretty high, I had no idea they had to Check it a few times and I for back in tomorrow to monitor some more.

My OH and I question the overall safety of ultrasounds, I don't mean I think they're outrageously dangerous, but we like to do things as holistically as possible. I have a few friends who have done the same! One ended up with surprise twins, and was planning to do the same with her second pregnancy, but the midwives suspected twins again so she had an ultrasound and sure enough she's having her second set!
We also don't want to find out gender and both know the temptation would be too much haha.

'Surprise, there's another one coming just keep pushing'...I think I've had that nightmare. Let alone finding out you're having another set!
I guess if you've done it once you know you can do it again. Twin toddlers...twice. That woman is like..my hero.

Wow - good for you! I've had friends go very holistic but they still had a sneaky scan. I think you're very strong to resist after the friend with "surprise twins"!!
What must that be like???? Can't even imagine! Well - I can imagine giving dh a list of things we need (eg extra car seat to get home from hospital!) and him coming back with all kinds of useless stuff instead
Afm - I've been spotting again
back to see a specialist next week. I think my platelet counts have dropped as I have some bruising too which suggests my blood isn't clotting well. Cue all out panic next week!

My OH is starting to think we should get ONE just to confirm there really is only one baby, haha. I'm measure way larger than I should be! But it's probably just extra fluid or maybe where the placenta attached. My fundal height is about 5 weeks ahead. But i think my instincts would catch on.. We are now on the fence scan wise.. But I will probably end up resisting!
I couldn't imagine a surprise set of twins, she's super excited for the second set though! I guess statistically if you have one set of fraternal twins, there's a 1 in 12 chance you'll have a second set!
Also! My mom had ITP, it came on randomly and the doctors couldn't get her blood to clot, it was scary! I hope you don't have too much trouble with it!
