Woohoo! Hello! Can't believe we're here already, feels like no time since I tentatively posted in the tri 1 thread.

Hi girls 27 weeks today for me ! Can't believe it's tri3 ! X

6 weeks! Did they know you have twins?!! We are probably the size of 7 ½ months rather than 6 though! At my last midwife appointment 2 weeks ago she said I was measuring 33 weeks for a singleton!

I must do some serious shopping now! What sort of bedding are people getting? Are you going to use those little sleeping bags the babies wear?

 

[FBTTN8079]

I know ! She does know yes lol wally ! A consultant at work thought I was at least 30 ish weeks and that was a week or so ago! Really feel like bump has had a growth spurt this week ! I bet your bump is all lovely Blueflower x

A few friends have told me that the growbag sleep bag things aren't really for newborn so I think I'm going to just do vest, babygrow, then either swaddle if they take to it? Or cover with cellular blanket ? It's so hard to know ! I'm so confused lol they will be in their little Moses baskets first off. What are you thinking?

 

[Blueflower]

Are there special sheets and blankets for Moses baskets?

 

[FBTTN8079]

I've got fitted sheets for the Moses baskets & then I've read to buy cellular blankets in ? But I'm still not 100% sure x

 

[Laura1992]

I'm Currently Feeling:

Today, 12:52 PM #980
My boss (who is not known to be tactful!) has just bumped in to me in the corridor and said ' waw I can't believe how big you are so soon' . I know it's silly but she really upset me. I know I'm big and I've tried to dismiss people's comments but I am getting so embarrassed by them now. I just don't' know what to say when people comment. Even my midwife said to me at my last appointment, 'oh you are looking quite mumsy!'

I feel especially embarrassed telling people that they think my baby may be on the smaller side. I literally feel like crying!

Hey

Anyone having these?

Typically I've been offered the flu one every year but stopped after ending up with bad cases of flu after having the Jab 3 years in a row and then never having it again after stopping (and I mean bonefide genuine flu 3 weeks of illness, hospital visits due uncontrollable dangerous temperature, feeling rough)

I dunno what to do, all the blurb says better for baby but anyone heard anything negative about having them? (I also have allergies to all antibiotics (both negative and positive kinds) just to up the anti)

I've made an appointment to get it done but now I'm worrying about getting sick off the back of the vaccinations this late in the game and the effect that could have on bean as well as the effect on bean by not having them

 

[FBTTN8079]

Hey hon, I've refused the flu jab for the last few years as it's always made me feel pants about a week after & I do end up with a cold ! Nothing a serious as what you've had, sounds horrid!

I had mine last week as knew that it's about the babies & worried in case something did happen & I hadn't had it & knew that it's not about me this time but I have a big fat cold this week & feel super grotty but I know it'll pass.

I'd discuss with your midwife/consultant Hun just because of the reactions you've had in the past. X

Tri hopping a bit here. Definitely think you should have a good conversation with your midwife about this. The risk to the baby might be bigger WITH the flu shot for you if you get such bad effects.

Two weeks today and I'll be officially joining you all! I hope the last tri goes as fast as my 2nd has
