Hello ladies,
Sorry I havent been on for a while. Had a few issues with the pessary they put in as part of this twin trial. Was making me feel like I needed to pee all the time putting major pressure on my bladder - so uncomfortable - so I went back and had it checked. They said it was in the right place, just that I have an extremely tilted uterus which meant that the pessary was pressing on other organs making me uncomfortable. She did try and move it a fraction higher but said to me that if it stays this way then they could take it out and I could come off the trial...
Was a difficult one to call. I sat there and thought well what happens if these babies do turn up massively premature and I had this pessary taken out because I couldn't stand this pressure feeling - when it could have kept them in for longer... I know I would totally blame myself! Arghhh what a dilema...
So i said to the lady that I would try and persevere over the weekend and let them know on Monday what I wanted to do. The good thing is the discomfort has seemed to have disapeered so I think by the lady moving the pessary a bit, it has moved it out of the way of my bladder and now I feel normal again which is great. Intend to keep it in now - and they'll only take it out at 34 weeks, when babies will be considered viable. So hopefully i'll make it that far with these little ones.
Wow Clare and Laura can't believe you're a matter of 2 months away from your EDD... how time has gone so quick and how you've both managed to stay on team yellow is beyond me but well done! Do you have an inkling into what your babies will be? I always felt like I was having 2 boys - said that from the start - maybe your intuition will be right.
I have to agree with Laura on the doppler front helen. Mine has been a lifesaver and I still use it regularly today. With twins its difficult to work out which baby is active - i get kicks near belly button and some at bottom of bump on the oposite side - so I just like to make sure both HB are ok... gives me great peace of mind
Oh poor beth
I can't believe your ear infection is dragging on this long. Have you been on anti biotics? So exicted you have your scan today - can't wait to see the pics - I have booked up a 4d scan for next friday, when I'll be 24+1. The lady at babybond said its an ideal time to see twins in the womb before they get too cramped, so am really excited about that one! Roll on Good Friday!
Thank god its the weekend! What a nightmare of a week. Work is mental at the moment - we have some crazy product launches to deal with - with just 7 working days notice which is completely unbelievable. Our company goes from one disaster to the next! Will it ever change?
On a more positive note, I have booked my maternity leave. Final day at work will be Friday 17th June. Have pencilled in my EDD as 21st July as that will be 37 weeks and if the babies haven't come already, thats when they're likely to either induce or do an elective c section based on where the babies are in the womb. So I'm using up my annual leave before I go on maternity leave as no doubt at 32 weeks and being huge with the twins, I won't feel up to working...
sounds like movement to me! i knew it wouldnt be long. bet you cant wait to find out the sex now! not long!! and only a few days til you hear LO heartbeat 
Your mat leave starts on my EDD.
