Thanks everyone. Hope Hayley is doing alright, as well as everyone else of course. I've not had time to catch up with everyone yet but I'm getting there bit by bit.
I didn't know I was having twins until a couple of days before they arrived. Due to agoraphobia, I cancelled all of my ultrasounds - you may have noticed I'd never uploaded any. I was embarrassed tbh so didnt wanna mention it. Anyway, I finally collapsed after xfactor last Saturday after months of hellish pain.. and got admitted to hospital. Two days later, they scanned me.. lo and behold, twins.
It was the most ridiculous shock. I was measuring behind for just one baby, nevermind two. No one predicted this. There aren't twins in the family and two heartbeats at my antinatal scans were never picked up because they quite simply weren't being looked for. Of course, I have always felt a hell of a lot of movement but I didnt think anything of it because my son was a little wriggler too.
Looking back now, things do make sense. It was a horrid pregnancy and my first was so smooth. Anyway, twins. Still in shock and cant believe they are mine. I also dont know where I stored nearly 10lb of baby. Our bodies are truly phenomenal!
I will write up a proper pregnancy and birth story and put it in the relevant section, over time
Will try to get online more so I can follow how you're all getting on. Gonna copy and paste this little explanation into the other thread now, so I apologise if you're gonna see it twice (or three times if you've already read about it all in facebook!)
