Thank you, well im down to 10 weeks and 3 days and rite now im hoping time fly by but im sure i won't be when im in labor.. Are u giving birth naturally or csection

We do have one set of twins in my family but I wouldn't say it's common. You made me laugh about the go carting!! I went on safari when I was 20 weeks pregnant, 8 hours being bounced around in a landrover, thought I was gonna give birth early, maybe I'll try that next time I'm trying to conceive

Hi! The iron I take is called ferrous sulfate 325mg and I take one at bedtime. They said to wait at least 3 hours after you take your prenantal to take it. So far I don't notice any tummy issues. The Dr said I wasn't anemic but I will lose a lot of blood during the birth so this will help me build up stores of iron to bounce back more quickly from the loss of blood. Works for me!

Sorry, not to be gross, but are your BB's leaking yet? On the main page it seems like everyone is already. Nothing here yet. I guess there will be plenty of that later. I just wonder if mine are behind in progress.

I am still working, kind of, I go to work and sit and giggle with the girls I work with. I don't really do anything. In an 8 hour day I think I am up and around about an hour. I sit to do my job during all of the surgerys and exams, then I sit around more just chatting & snacking. I am super spoiled at work. I have this week off to just lay around for the holiday, 4th of july, Independace day. When the Dr I work for is gone on holiday we are off too. Gotta love that!! I don't work again until monday. Yayyyy!

The renovation should be finished in about 3 months, so right around the time I go back to work. It looks like a war zone, but in a good way. I have to remind myself that it is progress towards what I really want, a finished house. The inside construction of the house part should be done in about a month, so I will have a house complete when the babies are here. I don't want noises and construction dust ect. around my babies. The huge garage construction will take longer but that won't effect me.

Were the braxtons painful? WoW! Exciting! Good luck at your appt tomarrow. I have my scan tomarrow morning too. I can't wait to see them. I have their dresser full of their little clothes and a months worth of diapers & wipes ready. Have you hear of the nurse EZ twins nursing pillow? I hear it is a must have for twin breast feeding. I just need that and I think I am set with the basics!

Ok, sappy hormone moment....Thanks so much for obsessing with me through all of this. I can't believe we are getting so close to the end, at least with the pregnancy part of all of this. Awww! :)

yeah. it was hot here too. UK weather is so unpredictable!! Never know what the day brings. my bump seems like its getting lower & lower each week! how are you doing with mood swings? i have them really bad lately..i think im just getting so anxious.


TWINSX2 - Wednesday, 2 July
Hi, we are doing pretty good! My back has been acting up lately, but I have had the PSD with my last two pregnancies so I figured at somepoint it would flare up this time also!
How are you doing? You are entering the last stages! are you thrilled and ready? I can't wait to deliver these babies! I want to carry them until atleast 36 weeks but am anxiously awaiting! They are bigger than my last set at this point, so I guess thats why my back is already bothering me;)
Hope all is well with you.Take care.


b4bybl00m - Wednesday, 2 July
I would still like twins, but I think the chances of that happening are slim, and it means I would only have to go through pregnancy one more time .....bonus! I'm starting to get a bit nervous about the birth, I've only just started thinking about it recently, more a fear of the unknown I guess as I have no idea what to expect!! Good for you for trying to go natural. I heard once the first one is out the second comes easy, that might be completely wrong of course!! Where are you in the UK?


babytaisha4u - Tuesday, 1 July
Hi, congrats on ur pregnancy .. Good luck


b4bybl00m - Tuesday, 1 July
The heat is unbearable, I keep passing out and feel like crap most of the time because my head is all over the place. In the first trimester I used to say to my boyfriend that next time I hope we have twins (as we plan on having 3 and this is our first) so i don't have to go through pregnancy 3 times. I kinda still think that now but when i think what you may be going through .....maybe not!! Are you scheduled a c section, and do you plan on going as full term as you can?


Z.Q.Jackson - Tuesday, 1 July
same thing happened to me too at 29 weeks. i had to stay in the hospital for 3 nights because it kept coming back...& would get stronger & longer..but eventually they tapered off in the night. now when they come i just sit it out...& breathe. im pretty sure ill know when its the REAL thing.

i need to be organized too..i try to be...but im definately not lol.

we were in a two bedroom also...we moved into a 3..& its okay. i miss our old house though. i was thinkin we shouldve just had them room in with us..but i guess the move was kind of necessary for the extra room.


b4bybl00m - Tuesday, 1 July
You feeling the heat too, I'm going insane. How the hell you're managing to carry twins I have no idea ....hats off to you girl!!


charlotte74 - Tuesday, 1 July
Fingers crossed changing your diet will helpout ....... but i'm sure you eat healthy anyway.

Nope no date all they have said is that they aim to delivery the twins at 37 weeks and everytime i go to see my consultant i always ask again and he says yes! so 7 weeks 4 days to go i can't wait..... mind you i thought they were coming last night i was having really strong braxton hicks think i need to start washing all their babygrows and get their bag packed!!!

Let me know if they give you a date... i have probably asked before but are opting for a c section?

I am not looking forward to the next few weeks but trying to forget about it i am also starting to get nervous about the delivery we start twins antenatel tomorrow night so hopefully that will answer alot of my questions!!!

Thanks, I found the website. are you in the US? It looks like this stroller is only available in the UK. It reminds me of the Bugaboo, which is the stroller I have for my son. Obviously, this won't work for the new babies.


buninoven - Tuesday, 1 July
Oh yuck, my Dr just put me on the iron suppliments too! She said I wasn't anemic from my blood tests but it may help with the dizziness. Sometimes I feel so dizzy I feel like I have been drinking, but of course I hadn't. I get out of breath easily too. I am starting to look more forward to the end of the next 8 weeks! :)

My hubby and I were stocking up on diapers and we did the math, if they go through 8 diapers each a day, in a month we will have changed 448 diapers!!!!! We went on diapers.com and stocked up. They are fairly reasonable, cheaper than in the store, and if you spend over $50 you get free shipping. With twins that was easy to do! I hear that they go through 8-10 diapers a day! That seems like a lot of poo!

Your little girl is already a lady and not showing off her stuff. One less thing to worry about! :)

The renovation starts any day now! yayyy!! Good luck with the closing of your house!! Its so exciting! I am so happy for you! :)


Z.Q.Jackson - Tuesday, 1 July
i had my appointment today..still didnt talk to me about an induction date...i was planning to ask..but i really didnt want to talk about it..& talk about a date..itll only make time slow down for me. lol. but it wasnt my regular doctor that saw me today...so even if i did ask ill get two different informations..my doc told me i could deliver there at 35 weeks..this doc says 36 weeks or else they would refer me to the other hospital i get seen at..because it has a nicu...& the one here doesnt.

but nope! i still havent packed my bags..! bad i know! i always find myself to be a last minute person...i didnt pack my bags with my first until i went into labor...my water broke..& i was like oh shoot! i dont have our bag packed! lol. all their stuff is washed though.

ive been having a "dont bother me" past few days. ive been walkin around the house mad at the world. haha. i havent cleaned a thing these last two days..ive just been tired..so tonight & tomorrow ill start my cleaning...& finish up the twins room. do you have their room done already?


twinstwice - Monday, 30 June
Hey, I had my appointment today and all I have to do this week is monitor my sugars at home and watch my diet - no real drastic changes to what I have been eating already. I just have to avoid those sugar cravings! They have been way better now than the first trimester so I should be ok. If I can't monitor my sugar levels with diet then I will probably be put on medication. I hope you don't have to do this - just a pain to keep track of everything.

Did you get a date that you will be induced? I have my next doc appointment on Wednesday so we will see how things are going (it will have been four weeks since my last one).

I am getting out of breath too. I guess just normal with the more space they take up. I don't think these last weeks are going to be much fun.


nenadf - Monday, 30 June
Thank you so very much for the advice!!!


kerri - Monday, 30 June
Hi. I noticed the stroller you purchased, would you mind sharing what brand and model it is.


buninoven - Monday, 30 June
Hiya! It sounds like you had a great appointment! Yay!! I can't belive they are that big already! Amazing!! I haven't heard anything about my glucose so it must be good! Do you ever get super dizzy? The last few days it feels really dizzy even when I lay down. I'm not hungry and I've drank tons-o-water. Weird. Its really hot here in the upper 90's so maybe thats it. I am staying hydrated.

How is the house hunt??? Did you get it??? I have my scan on wed I'm excited to see them again! I feel the elbows and knees now like you were talking about. Super fun! Its funny to see my shirt moving! Someone is in there!! 8 weeks and we will be parents!!!!!!!! Omg! Omg! Exciting and scary!! :)


twinstwice - Sunday, 29 June
Hey! How are things going? We are back from our holidays. It was so nice to have help every day. I have help coming on July 15th and then we have some sort of family around until the first of Nov. I am enjoying some time just the girls and me but I think I will be ready for help again. I am no longer sleeping very well (summer is here in full force - heat and all).

Bad news for me - I have been sent to the diabetic clinic tomorrow without even doing the fasting test. I found out last Thursday and have done some research about what I should be eating but it is brutal! The first day I just about lost it with hunger, but I did some more reading and I think things have settled down. I guess I will learn more tomorrow.

Let me know how things are going with you, it has been a while since we chatted.


Z.Q.Jackson - Sunday, 29 June
i was 32 weeks. it was just this past thursday.

ive been nesting since 28 weeks. my husband's like sit down & rest..stop trying to do so much! but i cant.

i wish i wouldve invested in one of those belts..or a "belly bra". i heard they work really good...& takes alot of strain off of you.

ive seen so many people on here talking about getting induced..my doctor hasnt really discussed that with me. she thinks ill go into labor on my own in my 35th or 36th week. which gives me 2-3 weeks. i cant wait either. im ready for my babies to come too! i think im alot more anxious this pregnancy than the last.


Z.Q.Jackson - Saturday, 28 June
He'll turn! Everytime I went in for a scan he would be feet down then head down..then feet down..then head down...hopefully he stays head down. my last scan baby a was 4lb11 & baby b was 4lb8. i came down with a cold..so im a little miserable. lol. it sucks i cant take any medicine that actually works. but other than that..the usual pains! how about you?


buninoven - Thursday, 26 June
How ya feeling?? I hope you are better! Keep me posted!! Take care!! :)
