I caught whatever my husband and daughter have. It's awful. I can't even keep water down.

Hope you'll feel better soon!

Yo_Yo & mommyberry - so glad the bleeding has stopped! Keep resting!!

Kel21- Here is the link to my birth story from my son's birth, if you're interested. https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/b...8597-samuel-owens-unassisted-birth-story.html

Happy belated birthday, starbrites!

Happy belated Mother's day to our UK mommies!

Congratulations and welcome to all our new mommies!!!

Congrats to those who have had great scans and have gotten to hear the heart beat!!

AFM: I am doing all right. Been getting more nauseous, blah! LOL! But luckily haven't thrown up very much, just a few times earlier on. Still not got much of a bump going on. :/ Can't wait till I start showing, but if my previous pregnancies are any indication, I won't show for a while!! I didn't start showing with my daughter until I was darn near 6 months and a little earlier with my son. Haven't tried to find gummi with the Doppler in about a week, so will probably be trying soon (today or tomorrow). Haven't been feeling to "right" so have been a little paranoid but haven't had any cramping or bleeding, so I am probably just stressing for no reason! I am 11 weeks 5 days today, so close to being 12 weeks! Golly, it's gone fast! Hope everyone is doing well!

The stomach bug seems to be going around. I'm having the lower intestine bug, not so much fun when you get those horrible cramping pains.

Welcome to all the new ladies

Starbrites-- Happy Birthday!

Mommyberry & Yoyo-- Glad you two are on the mend.

Happy Belated Mother's Day to the UK women.

Week 6 and week 11. Not sure there's much of a difference LOL.

But I'm a lime today! Woohoo! Tomorrow I have a drs appointment and I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat for the first time!

 

[Yo_Yo]

[kel21]

[CharlieKeys]

Welcome to the new ladies

Ctrygirl - love your comparison pics - you look like you're glowing in the most recent one

Yo-yo and mommaberry - glad to see the bleeding has slowed down/stopped!

Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day in the UK yesterday

I'm so sorry if I've forgotten anything else. Had like 8 pages to catch up on!

Question: anyone cramping really badly? It gets to 7ish and I cramp all the time until I go to bed. Yesterday was weird because I cramped all day, and had really bad back ache :-/

 

[CharlieKeys]

La mere ... Are you doing this pregnancy all by yourself again? I think that's amazing.

 

[La Mere]

Charlie- Yes, I am. That's very sweet of you to say.

So, my husband and I announced to our parents this past Saturday. It was really exciting!

I had my friend record it, and although she does film for a living she kind of did a rough job! That's okay, I'm glad it's recorded!

https://youtu.be/0bGQYMBtStM

That's the video if anyone would like to see. I started balling the moment my mom opened her bag. Which is normal for me pregnant or not, I'm a big crier!

Surprisingly, I only got one negative response, but that was much later from one of my husbands married in aunts. Her first response was, "Was this planned?!? I mean you've only been married since November!" And then instead of congratulating us started asking one of our sister in laws when she was going to have a second baby.

Oh well, no one likes her anyway!


Congrats to everyone else and their new weeks/new scans/ and anything else that is going good! I haven't been able to really catch up on everything.

it's how I want my birth, no interference from mw's just me listening to my body and my baby. My instincts are always right this time in gonna listen. X

Doctors this morning and I'm freaking out a little. I have no reason to think anything is wrong, I'm just a paranoid super dork! My stomach is in knots, I actually feel sick and like I might throw up! (I'm so sad for you guys who feel this all the time!) I keep worrying that I'll go in and find out one or both babies isn't okay in there

sorry you feel that way! I can definitely relate.
My twin pregnancy was by far the most worrisome. My twins were also rainbow babies so I worried about everything.

the best thing I can suggest is to avoid google and stick to multiple mum groups for advice! I freaked myself out so many times reading about all these things that can go wrong with twins.

and the worry didnt go until they were born, I worried until viability day about one not making it, then I worried about them gaining weights, then I worried about pre term labour, then worried when one didnt gain weight ugh the worry just didnt stop lol......it is all worth it though

im not sure if they will check for heartbeats yet, they may do but they will probably tell you they may not find both.
my midwife didnt find both of mine till 15 - 16 weeks, id found them myself long before that but I didn't tell her that She only found one hb at 11-12 weeks

Also how does you care work where you are? Where I am for twins we have a midwife up until 28 weeks (if all goes well) then I was handed over to hospital ob care for the twins as its considered high risk and independant midwives here dont do twin births.
I still had my midwife all the way through but that was at her request, she wanted to follow the pregnancy till the end. So I had both ob and midwife on alternate weeks

Have you been drinking enough? I have heard not drinking enough water can cause cramping, or doing too much.

Aww thanks for sharing this. That's such a special moment to have caught on camera.

No worries what others say especially if it's a married in aunt.
