Rach - glad all went well at the scan!! 2 boys!! My friend had 2 boys in February. They are non-identical as well, and they looked quite different. And now they look totally different to each other - I'm sure you will have no probs telling them apart!!

I had a really busy day yesterday - didn't get home until after midnight so I am totally shattered today! Still in my pj's now!
It was really nice to catch up with people though, and i ate so much lovely food. Mmm.
So yes, just taking it easy today I think!!

Yesterday I was feeling lots of pops and thuds but this morning I haven't really felt anything. I KNOW I keep asking about this but can you all just please tell me it's normal for it to stop for a while?? I am going to drive myself mad!!
I was worried before I never felt anything, now I'm worrying when it stops!!
I feel a bit sore across my bump today too but I think that might be something to do with how much food i put away yesterday and I think I might have bunged myself up a bit! Just had a massive bowl of fruit and fibre though so hopefully that will sort me out!!

Hope everyone is ok!!

kmac its completely normal hun try not to worry you will feel more and more as the weeks go on up until 28 weeks its normal not to always feel baby move it depends on which way baby is lying etc i havent felt any movements at all so far today and i have 2 in there i know they are ok from the scan they were moving around lots on there but i couldnt feel it at all xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[kmac]

Thanks rach
I know, I know.... can't help worrying!!

Just got an email back from private clinic £150 for 20-week scan
I think I will wait until my next MW appointment and discuss my worries with her. Maybe she can get me a sneaky one if I seem anxious enough!!

[lea m]

Do you not have wheel on buses!? Im lucky as we do! I found the tandem a lot easier but thats because I could wheel them on lol!
I had a maclaren twin, I think this must be the new version of what I had!
It was great! Fit through 99% of doors never had any trouble with it! I was sad to get rid but one day i left it outside as I was going back out not long after and a cat peed on it! Gutted!

OOOH now youve got me looking at all twin prams haha I love this too!

There's just too much choice with buggies, I still haven't a clue what to go for. Off to see my in-laws next week so will make a trip to Lemington Spa's Mothercare and see what they have in store. Think I've decided not to go for a double/tandem, will prob use a papoose at the beginning and DD can sit in the buggy and then get a buggy board for DD when she's a bit older and LO can them go in the buggy!!

Rach, how old will you little boy be when the babies arrive? WIll you have to buy a triple or can you manage with a double?

Lea have fun at your BBQ, hope the weather's good!

I'm like you KMAC, I worry all the time as I'm not really feeling any movement, although about half an hour ago think I might have felt two small kicks. Felt a little better after my scan as the sonographer said the baby just wouldn't stop moving, that made me feel better as I just can't feel anything! Maybe my belly's a bit numb after having a c-section Hey just noticed, we are due on the same day. I'm praying not to have a christmas day delivery, I wanna be at home with my DD and family

Afternoon!! How is everyone? Still feeling shattered, is it normal to be more tired when you wake up than when you went to bed?? Kids are really hyper today but it is raining so we are stuck inside, have just made cupcakes, waiting for them to cool so they can be iced. I think we'll be watching HSM this afternoon as well.

My SPD has been really sore, think Ive overdone it. How is everyone elses doing?

Rach, I have that buggy from Mothercare, the Duolite. Ive had mine for 4 years & it is still in good condition & great to use, not that Im using it, will probably sell it. We'd kept it till now as when we got pregnant with this one, the midwife & Dr thought we could be having twins due to the amount of sickness I had, but theres definately only 1 in there!!

Lea, hows the sorting going? Ive got so much to do, but Im just too tired, its really bugging me!!

Hi to everyone else!!

ROM - on the new car
Kmac - hope you can persuade your m/w to send you off for a scan
LeaM - as I said in your other thread - on 24weeks!
Rach - hope you find the right pram soon!
Bexie - have fun next week in Mothercare! - Im dangerous in there now - I dont think I can go in without buying something!
Babydust - hope you are ok
LisaPink - sorry your SPD is playing up again
lisaspoon - sorry you were sick this a.m hope your doppler has come!

Umm, sorry if Ive missed anyone that was as far back as the review thingy went!

Well today, my little monkey has been very active indeed - there's been massive movements all over the place! I know where the (long!) legs were from the scan (its where I get most movement too) but today Ive felt things all over the place - LO is either moving around and having a complete readjustment of position or just exercising both hands and legs now!! Its well funny!
I was quite suprised to learn at the scan that my placenta is at the front...as I thought that would mean I wouldnt feel so many movements as I have done! but I either have a very strong little kicker in there or the kicks manage to get round the side of the pacenta or something. I love just sitting here wathcing my belly move about - does that make me weird?!

[LisaPink]

Chok, not weird at all!! I love watching the movements, even if it does freak me out at times!!

[lisaspoon]

Doppler had come but OH forgot to bring it home with him (had it delivered to his work)
not a good day!

 

[lea m]

Bexie - Have fun at Mothercare!!
LisaP - Sorry you SPD is so sore! I think my bones may have begun to move actually! I now get pains as well as aches in the pubic bone so looks like I will be going back to the physio soon!
LisaS - Sorry your being sick again!
Chok - Thats so cute! I love it when they are really active! I too have an anterior placenta and have noticed that I feel less movement or muted movement on the slightly right side of my belly so Im guessing thats where it is! I was worried when they first said that I wouldnt feel much movement at all!

Well re-arranged the living room!! Just what i need to cheer me up! lol Im weird like that!
Got new things today too! I ordered them ages ago and werent expecting them till the 14th so great they came early!!
I got one of these and this

 

[LisaPink]

Lea, you are on a roll!!!! Fancy coming to my house & helping me, its just not getting done at the mo!! Well done but dont tire yourself out or agrivate your D. Get your bum back to the physio before it gets really bad. I dont have physo for another week as my physio is on honeymoon, but I really need to go as I can feel my pelvis has moved.
