Just had my scan- Theres 2 😱 2 babies. I'm in shock
 
OMG LoraLoo that's amazing but definitely a shock!!! Congrats!
 
Such great updates everyone! :)
Little- congrats on your scan and perfect heart rate. So happy for you! I know what you mean about house hunting but trust that the perfect house will come along out of the blue when it is meant to.

Thanks to all who posted well wishes for my mom. She is back home from the hospital and we have a nurse visiting so that is v. helpful. I can't believe I am back here living with my parents and trying to hide this horrible hg. I stay in bed all day and yesterday morning I passed out when i got up. I came to pretty quickly and am sure it is b/c of my low blood pressure. Fluids are still a problem and I'm still not eating, so when OH comes back from out of town will go to hospital for hydration.
9 wk scan is in 2 days!
Happy 9 weeks Mari. How are you?

MM- sorrry the nausea is so bad... it is especially bad for me too in afternoons and evenings.
Hydration tablets are a great idea-- why don't my doctors tell me about this stuff?!

PsyC- I've been thinking of taking up crochet/knitting too. During the cold month of February feeling crummy, perfect way to spend time knitting blankets for baby! Like MM said I have too much trouble focusing right now. I also took a free class years ago and teacher pretty much laughed me out of class as I could not for the life of me understand how to do a stitch!

Leson- glad you're feeling good still!

As for traveling to Jamaica, etc. - yes totally sux to cancel but better safe than sorry in the tropical locations since this virus is proving to be so extremely dangerous to babies. So sad.. I hope they get it under control quick.
Welcome to new comers. We sure have a busy board here.. Lots of babies in September!!
 
OMG Laura!! Wow! I bet you are in shock. CONGRATULTIONS.. CONGRATULATIONS (twice!! :))

Our first set of twins on the board!
 
Loraloo oh my gosh! That must have been so intense when you found that out wow! Twice the love!! Congratulations xox
 
I'm totally in shock 😱 I wasn't expecting a heartbeat at all let alone two.
 
Lora I think my jaw has just hit the floor! Congratulations!
 
Lora!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! If anyone deserves twins it's you after all you've been through! What a tremendous blessing!

Just booked in with the midwife for the 15th of February for my initial appointment. Apparently it takes an hour - I can't remember what happens at this appointment lol! I presume the first scan will be 3-4 weeks after that.

I've recently had my booking appointment with the midwife and I'd say it takes a little under an hour but prepare for an hour just incase.

At mine, we talked about my previous pregnancies, general health (BMI, nutrition etc) and conditions that run in either side of the family, living conditions including who lives at home, antenatal screening tests and where I'd like to give birth. As my daughter Maisie was born at 34+4 via emergency c-section due to foetal distress, we talked about the possibility of having another premature baby but that obviously may not apply to you. Finally, she did some bloods and booked me in for my 12 week scan!

Fab thank you so much that was a great explanation! Can't wait to get the ball rolling :happydance:

You're welcome. There may be some variation but I think generally that's what you should expect. I did forget to say that she'll ask you about LMP too just so they have a rough idea of how far along you may be, and that I had to provide a urine sample so have a drink on hand just in case your MW wants one too!

It's so exciting, isn't it? I see you'll have quite a big gap between your two while I am a complete polar opposite and will have a little over a year between mine. Are you daunted about 'starting again'?

You know, the years have gone by super quick. I did want another one when DD was little but when she got to about 2 it went away and then her Dad and I split when she was 5 and I never thought about it until I found out on Saturday that I was expecting with my new OH. Never crossed my mind I would have more children at this stage, even though deep down I probably wanted more.

So yes very strange to be starting over as its been 8 years since I was pregnant lol. I'm only just realising how much I don't remember. We haven't told DD yet but she asked on Friday if she could have a sibling :haha:

How do you find having two close together? Have you kept stuff after having your LO so you've not so much to buy?
 
Thanks ladies.

Just a bit concerned that one was measuring smaller, though that was the one we had a poorer view of.

Can anyone tell me their crl on 6/7 week scans please?
 
How exciting Lora!

So my insurance company somehow lost my request to change my PCP and medical group. I was so mad, but they fixed it all over the phone with me today. Left a vm for my obgyn to go ahead and call in to verify benefits. Fingers crossed all goes smoothly. I'm so looking forward to seeing our little gremlin on Friday.
 
Lora- ATTA GIRL! Congrats!! I think in twins there's always one who will be a little smaller throughout the entire pregnancy but that's normal and happens all the time.
 
Laraloo - what amazing news!! Congratulations!!!

Hope - Glad your mom is home now. That is awful you passed out. Does sound like low pressure and you probably should get back to the hospital again for fluids. I fainted with my first pregnancy, it was such an awful/scary feeling. I get dizzy spells through out all of my pregnancies and those can me scary too. I suffer from low blood pressure. Thank you!! Happy 9 weeks to you as well:) ! more week and we will be double digits!! yay! I feeling not well at all. I lost 3lbs last week from not being able to eat much. Hope this week is a better one for both of us:)

Hopefully it's just that. The smaller one was further away n she didn't have. As good a view so maybe it's that too.
 
Hope- glad you and mum are okay, sorry you're not getting much relief.

Loraloo- wow, I was not so secretly was hoping for twins! Congrats! At my ~6 week appointment, doc didn't measure CRL because she said it is so variable at that stage and they grow so fast. But here's a resource:

I seem to have passed the worst of my morning sickness- I wonder if it's too early (9 1/2 weeks) for placenta to be taking over? Or maybe it's just eating cheese in the morning. I still feel a bit off first thing, and then if I eat too much. But I'm definitely past the eating every 2 hours stage. For now, at least.
 
Got a first appointment at the OBGYN for Thursday afternoon! Just a get to know you/history and confirm pregnancy (which hoping they won't dismiss me when I fail the urine test) and to schedule all the lab work and ob appointments :) no scan as of right now but so excited still! :happydance:
