I think mine are along the same lines 1. Miscarriage 2. still birth of one or both babies 3. major birth defects 4. very early birth 5. an episiotomy ( I saw a terrible video clip once) I'm carrying two and either the fears are bigger or I'm anxious anyway I know the risks are higher so...

HI and thanks for your reply. I've had the equivalent of the 12 weeks check, but I had it at 9+3. And I don't ge to see anything on the down's/spina bifida test because it's only a blood test. I'm told it would come back with a result of high risk, even if there isn't.

Hi ladies, I have a bit of a worry. I had my booking scan at 9+3 because the appointment had to be rescheduled because of some hospital thing. My next scan at 20 weeks is 3rd July. I actually don't need to see anyone until then becaue I'm not having the spina bifida and down's tests at 15/16...

I saw the doc at 4 weeks because we had measles in school so I had to have blood tests early. Then I saw the midwife by week 6. First scan was a reassurance scan and therefore much earlier than normal at 7+ 5 days. Second midwife app at 8+2 and my next scan is going to be 9+3. I was scheduled...

Nuts - I was warned not to have nuts because it may create a sensitivity in your child. Cos I'm having twins I've been warned to avoid vigourous exercise. I'm gonna look like a mountain. No saunas - same as baths really. No aromatherapy unless the practitioner has knowledge and experience in...

I had absolutely no idea. Twins have skipped 3 generations on my paternal side, none of our living family have twins or are a twin. As it's a clomid induced pregnancy I suspect it's more the drugs. I'm not suffering morning sickness, just nausea on and off. Mostly when faced with anything I'm...

I was unable to wear normal clothes from 6 weeks. I felt really silly telling my friends that my jeans/bras/knickers no longer fit etc. The midwife said I had just probably put weight on, I wasn't impressed since I really worked hard to keep it down. Then a scan revealed two babies, so I...

HI, I'm new but I thought I'd stick my 2 penneth in. I'm 9 weeks and no m/s with twins! I was sure there was only one, I had never heard of anyone with twins not being really sicky. Just crossing my fingers and toes that I don't suddenly get it. I just consider myself very lucky and I know...

I've been using a US/Ca site for ages and only recently found this. I found out last week I'm having twins after 2 years of TTC and investigations. I had originally thought there would only be one since I'm fortunate enough to have no m/s but there's two and that makes me extra lucky...
