***April 2020 mummies***

[Countrylife]

The last 2 days have been somewhat of a blur really, I've been in and out of the hospital seeing doctors/specialists and I've done it all alone st this stage :/ my dad isnt the sensitive type to support me and my other family are away, but I cant change what is happened..
They've said twin B will stay put at this stage.. apparently it will slowly breakdown as dead things do.. but will no doubt come out when the other one does..
Feeling very bitter sweet as I dont know what twin B was but looked very small and peaceful just lying there, twin A is huge compared to it and wriggling around like no tomorrow.
Twin A is a boy, but there are concerns with the placenta functions so at this stage I'm trying to be super cautious and I'm not sure I will enjoy much of this pregnancy if at all.. I'm just hoping I will be able to have this little boy in my arms at some stage

I’m so sorry hun, honestly I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. You’ve got a strong little fighter in there still, I hope you do manage to enjoy that to some extent for the remainder of your pregnancy xx.

I’m here if you need to talk x

I’m 20+5 but just had my 20 week scan today. All looking good except my placenta is pretty low. They’ll rescan again at 28 weeks as they said 9 times out of 10 it’ll move.

Also if anyone knows what they’re having let me know and I’ll add a pink or blue stork next to your name on the front page. Or yellow if you’re keeping it a surprise! X

 

[benjis mum]

Yellow for us please

 

[Rainbow1234]

Yellow for us please

Done. A surprise will be exciting, I’m just far too nosey to wait lol x

 

[benjis mum]

I am really too! But my OH really wanted a surprise x

 

[Layney]

Pink for me please

 

[Rainbow1234]

Pink for me please

Done, congrats on a pink bundle x

 

[SugaryIris]

Yellow for me. I’ve always wanted a surprise. We only want one so honestly doesn’t matter what it is and I like the anticipation of the wait lol.

I’ve got my 20 week anomaly scan on Thursday, I really hope everything is ok with our little sprout! Dh is so excited he’s ordered and built most of the baby stuff already such as cribs, bouncy chairs etc lol

Hi all, good to hear everybody is going ok and things are progressing, I'm honestly just looking forward to april as I've kind of lost the excitement myself.. I've been a pretty emotional mess and my midwife has arranged some counseling and a support group of women that have been through similar situations which I will begin next week.
I have been struggling to sleep big time but I'm feeling this boy wriggling around a fair bit lately which is a small reassurance atm so I'm grateful for that

Had our 20 week scan today. Team yellow but happy we have a little healthy bubba.

Countrylife, Im so sorry you’re going through this, counselling is probably a good idea to help you process everything. Thinking of you.

SugaryIris - gorgeous scan photo, glad everything went ok

I’m getting lots of movements the last 48 hours, no kicks really but I wonder if that’s because of the anterior placenta, but so much movement

I’m starting to feel more movements too. It’s very exciting. Probably is your placenta I’ve heard they can muffle the kicks quite a lot x

 

[Rainbow1234]

I’m feeling lots of movement these days too. I managed to get some big kicks on video yesterday x

 

[Countrylife]

Im also feeling little movements here and there but the placenta is at the front so midwife has said may not feel any kind of kicking externally for a few more weeks. My boy is looking good and measuring well still, makes me very nervous and they've asked if I'd like a postmortem done on the other one when it comes to birth.. I'm done with having children after this so I personally dont think I want to know what happened.. counting down to april, just wana hold him

not long now, you’ll have your little boy in your arms sooner than you think. X

You still have time to think about it, just do what feels right to you.

I’m also done after this, pregnancy and ttc has unfortunately not been the journey I thought it would be. 3 miscarriages have meant my pregnancies have been filled with anxiety and I’m looking forward to closing the book on that part and just enjoying my 2 children x

Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and your pregnancies are progressing well x

 

[benjis mum]

Happy Christmas! Hope you all had a lovely couple of days! I’m feeling like a whale and wondering how I have another 16 weeks of growing to do!!
