Rachel - I'm so sorry to hear your news :( Sending my love to you, it must be very difficult. I hope you're back over on this side asap, just take it all in your own time. xoxo

Rjsmam - I hope your appointment goes better than mine!

Ezza - I'm due May 12th! Congratulations xoxo
 
rachel - Im so sorry! :hugs: we're always here for you! Please keep positive. I know you dont understand why this is happening to you, but everything happens for a reason - you may never know what the reason was but you will still have a 2012 baby. Keep strong, chin up and it'll all be perfect next time. :hugs:

welcome to the new girls - I'll update the front page soon - on my phone at the moment so its not as easy!

Had my midwife appointment today - was ok I guess. We had like a group discussion. there was about 10 of us expectant mums. Some were noticably pregnant, others werent.

Had a private chat with the midwife after that and she gave loads of info and books and stuff - so that was quite nice. They're all really nice.

Then I had my bloods done - I got so scared coz its been about 4 years since I had bloods done and everyone infront of me was in there for like 20 mins each and they came out with plasters and bandages all over the place - I was in there for 5 mins and came out with 1 little plaster - so I was panicking for nothing! :)

I dont need to anything now until my scan - which is in 4 weeks time. :) then all the other appointments start falling into place.

Not sure if any of you have thought about birth plans etc... Ive opted for the birthing centre and they dont do epidurals there or any major pain relief like that. So here's hoping I can cope! haha
 
Rachel I am very sorry too, take care of yourself, I am sure we will see you over here again soon!

I am in New Zealand. I have always loved the place name Nova Scotia I have no idea what its like there but the name sounds beautiful so that's what I imagine it to be hehe.

Islander - ooo I hope so! good luck!

Anti - wow thats great! You should manage just fine, just prepare yourself well, natural births are hard BUT you'll feel proud after the first time. I think I already discussed my birthplan, I don't really have one, probably c section if thats the safer route. I dont wanna risk anything. I also dont want a c section but if needs must......I guess. Man I hope I get to talk to someone soon about it.

My OH made me oats this morning for breakfast and I almost spewed, it was so gross, he was upset lol also woke up during the night to spew :( ohhhhh I hope this is gone soon its not happening as much as it was but I'm finding its more sudden now, dont feel it building up anymore. I don't think I need to worry bout losing weight though, I'm a lot thicker and have a small bump and have been eating like a horse! I can't even suck in my pants i was wearing from 4 weeks along. sucking in there is a still a 2 or 3 inch gap between the button and the hole! I testd out how big I got yesterday lol scary!!
Im actually quite nervous of how big I am going to get :/ I seen some twin bump photos and they look scary big
 
Anti - Your appointment sounds like it went great! I really wish they would have taken my bloods and given me the info packs! I don't feel like I have any support from my midwife, she was a bit rubbish and didn't give me any info or anything.. I was in there 10 mins. This is my first pregnancy and it'd be nice to feel like some things happening!:(
 
i havent seen or heard from midwife yet - my gp gave me he info packs, took my bloods and felt my tummy...she also booked my scan :)

Click to expand...

I love living here, even though its very different from where I grew up. I grew up in central Canada, on the prairies, now im living next to the ocean. It really is a lovely province, full of forests and lakes. Its small, likely about 1/4 the size of New Zealand.

I have always wanted to visit New Zealand and Australia, but its not likely to happen in my lifetime. Its quite a bit of money just to fly there, let alone tour. sigh... Its so funny to hear someone say they would want to visit your country/province. We are so used to what its like, that its strange to hear people be enamored with it.
 
anti, my plans are to walk into the delivery room at the hospital, and whatever happens, happens. As long as this baby is born, I dont care how they get here...lol...

I thought about using a birthing center, but I just dont want to limit my options. If I need an epidural to get this baby out, then I want one, if I dont need one, then I wont have one, ykwim? However, going full out natural is commendable, and you will be so proud of yourself when all is said and done!
 
Hi everyone I haven't posted here in a bit. The exhaustion, work and the freelance work I'm doing at night leaves me no time to play on here anymore. Just wanted to give you all an update though. I had my first scan 2 weeks ago when I was 5w4d and saw a beautiful gestational sac and fetal pole. I went in yesterday for my 2 week followup to check growth and I hear the tech say, "You know it's twins right?" My hubs thought she was joking but there they were on the screen! My due date is still May 18. And they are measuring at 7w6d and the other at 8w. Both have the same heartbeat of 167. Baby A is kinda of hiding in a sac above Baby B so it was tricky getting the photos. Think Baby A is camera shy already!

We are so overwhelmed at the moment. I know that my great aunt had twins and one of my great grandmother's sisters as well had twins. So it was a possibility. I was in such a haze yesterday. Reading everything I could (at work lol). I also started freaking out about the belly size. I'm not a large girl so I have no idea how I'm going to lug that around. I'm not even showing yet and haven't gained anything... probably the fact that all food disgusts me at the moment unless I'm eating fruit salad.

Anyway I'm glad I'm not the only one going through this, zephyr!
 
Rachel i am so sorry, thinking of you :hugs:

Islander lovely to see another scot here!! (i'm from inverness)

hi loveacupcake - fab more twinnies!!! that's really funny how the tech told you!

bumpin2012 - agree with you re not limiting options - particularly after my son's birth

thankfully i've had no more pink cm... but i'm a bit glum today as am so sick... the thought of another 4 or 5 wks of this is ruff!!! smells are awful... even clean smells... i don't fancy eating anything & certainly don't enjoy any of food... gah :sick:

lol i love that ure location is very far north - we call where u live down south :)
 
hello ladies !! hope you dont mind me dropping by !!

popped on at the begining of the thread to let you know that im a may-mummy-to-be ! we found out this week that we have 3 very healthy triplets in there !!!

hope your all well ! will have a browse through the thread when i can get on the laptop !! xx
 
Omg summerlily!! That is great news! Congrats! So many multiples coming through!! :) will update the front page as soon as I get the computer. :)
 
OMG yaaaaaaay! more may multiples!

loveacupcake I am worried about the bump size too, some of those photos as beautiful as they are just look.....so.....large! Congrats on your double surprise! The shock has worn off for us now and now the worry has set in haha

SummerLily - wow triplets! Congrats! You must still be pretty shocked! 3 babies?! Took me a while to get my head round two!!

bumpin - So many people want to visit New Zealand I actually feel very lucky to have been born here, I think about leaving sometimes but then I know if I did I would probably miss the place too much!
Nova Scotia sounds like a place I would like to visit but would be many many years before travel happens, maybe when the kids have all left home! haha

I'm getting a bit tired of the getting up and peeing 3 times a night thing! My spewing seems to be settling a little, not so urgent anymore and I just feel sick a lot instead.
My intense hunger has settled too and now I am finding my meals have decreased in size because my stomach just I dunno, seems full all the time.
I woke up to a nose bleed this morning!!! and I sometimes feel faint, guess thats the blood volume increasing?
I had intense stomach cramps last night, could barely walk to the bathroom, they were diarreah cramps :blush: I actually thought I had caught something, but I have been okay since so guess its pregnancy related.
My sons birthday tomorrow, I have been eating relatively healthy all week so I am looking forward to the cake and party food :happydance:

So how is everyone today?!
 
Ladies, I could really use some advice. I feel bad saying this because you're all so lovely but please don't judge.


I've been with my OH nearly a year and we willingly got pregnant. In the last month or so since I've found out I was actually pregnant, so much has changed and unlike a lot of posts like this - it's all on me. I've distanced myself and almost feel myself losing feelings for him. I'm 25 and he'll be 26 this month but he doesn't act as mature as I'd like. I know, I know... who's OH actually does? But I want more for my life/future and having a child in the mix (well, another since I have a 6 year old but that's another story) changes everything. I don't want this to turn into a novel so I'll try to sum up as much as I can.


He never graduated high school and never got his GED. He seems to have no desire to go back and get that and further his education (college or anything.) He's bounced from job to job and somehow gotten fired from most of them or quit the others for stupid reasons. He's been unemployed the last 3 months and finally started a retail job yesterday. Work is work and money is money so I won't be picky right now but he has no aspirations in life. Doesn't think about 5, 10 years from now and making things work as a family unit or anything like that. There's a lot to him that is too immature for what I want in my life/partner. I need an equal and someone with similar goals as mine, you know? He loves me a lot and when I confronted him a few weeks ago about feeling off about our relationship, he told me he's willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. That's very sweet of him to say but he doesn't have it in him to do what I want/need. I know they say to date someone 4 years older than you so that the guy is at your maturity level and that's basically the case here.

If I weren't pregnant, it'd be clear cut for me to end the relationship. Yes, it'd hurt him but I can't sacrifice what I want in life to avoid hurting his feelings. However, I AM pregnant and this is his first child. We planned to get pregnant which makes me feel even more guilt for wanting to call us quits. He's forced into having a child, having a responsibility and the person he thought he'd spend his life with isn't on the same page anymore. He once told me (before we thought about getting pregnant) that if I ever did, I was stuck with him for life because he didn't want his child growing up without a father like he did. That's very noble but why do I have to be stuck? I know we see posts on here all the time about girls saying they had a planned pregnancy and the guy left them and we tell them that they'll survive, that they and their baby are more important. But what about when it's the other way around and the girl decides she wants out and the father/guy wants to stay in? I just feel such guilt but I can't help how I feel. I can't help but want more in life and my partner. It's nice to have someone head over heels in love with you and willing to give you the moon but the moon isn't what I need.

What do you ladies think? What should I do?
We're barely speaking lately and he's left the house, feeling terrible and as he posted on Facebook, questioning if he actually exists. I feel bad because I do care about him and have a love for him but it's also unfair of me to pretend and go along like all is well when my heart isn't truly in it. I just don't know what to do.
