Ohh they're so so sweet Lisa! I'm so glad they're doing well.

Can babies grab/squeeze your stomach? I just lay down in bed feeling ok, suddenly babies started to move loads and then I had to sit up as quick as possible and (don't read if you have a weak stomach) half a bucket of stomach acid came up from nowhere. I get sickness still sometimes where I'm nauseous for a while before or heartburny, but this literally came out of nowhere. I haven't eaten in hours so it was just pure acid.

Thanks guys! Yup, they both got blonde hair. And so much alike, I can't tell them apart yet. Definitely plan on employing the trick of nail polish when the ankle bands (their wrists are too small) come off. Although I will have to use a tiny nail art brush lol...
They're doing great. They're getting too hot in their incubators so will move out to a heated bed tomorrow or the day after. I'm still amazed at their quick progress. At this pace we'll have them home before Christmas!

Maybe they are identical aww hope you can get home in time for Christmas, that would be lovely xx

Oooooo doesn't look like long to go now!

 

[millielaura]

She's been quiet last night and this morn again, I have midwife at 11 today so will mention to her and will prob be sent to day unit for monitoring. Sure she's fine but they said to come in each time she goes quiet as got to be on safe side.
Quite glad I'm seeing midwife today as had a lot of stabby pains alongside my braxton hicks last night and a headache/dots in eyes. Sure it's nothing and I'm just getting ill or have a UTI or something lol but will be reassuring to have blood pressure and urine tested xxx

Oh Lisa they're beautiful and I am so glad to hear they're doing so well!! Hope you're ok too? How are you recovering? Hope all goes well today Millie I'm sure she's fine and just being a little tinker xx

 

[millielaura]

Yeah sure she will be ok. Still quiet so will def sort monitoring for this afternoon. I'm feeling ill now with my headache and all hot too as well as the stabby pains down low so I think it could well be a UTI I have! Xx

They are so adorable Lisa! Made me feel so emotional! They look so well, tiny but finished! How much did they weigh again? Did the staff put them both on you at the same time for the skin contact?

 

[Laura1992]

I've got some serious BH going on this evening girls. Like every 10 mins at the moment and lower back ache and stabby pains. Don't want to trek to hospital if it's nothing.. hmmm

 

[Blueflower]

Oh no. Could be labour though? Could you call for advice?

 

[millielaura]

Have you had a bath and then lay down and drunk a lot of water Laura?
Mine were getting regular for hours on Sat but since you're having twins I'd try those things then call just in case! Xx

We only have showers in this house! My mum had the bath removed when we were teenagers because my sister used to hog it LOL. Totally sucks not having one.

I've been lying down and still getting them every 7-10 mins. I am having quite a bit of water yes, but I do feel a bit dehydrated which I know can bring them on. Really don't want to call unless they get painful because I'm pretty sure they will tell me to go in. xx

 

[millielaura]

Lol thats funny about the bath! Annoying though as they help a lot.
Have you timed them with a contraction timer on phone? If they're dead on regular and getting closer together I'd call. Mine were pretty regular but not a dead on pattern and werent getting closer they just stayed really close together lol. Then the other night it was every min or two for hours so knew that couldn't be it. Xxx

Oh Laura hope everything is okay. So far I haven't experienced them coming close together thank goodness. It sounds scary. I think you should be okay as long as your water didn't break?

 

[Laura1992]

The BH were lasting about 3-5 minutes each and 5-11 minutes apart for about 4 hours and then I managed 5 hours sleep though and now I'm up, still having them (4 in the last 45 mins) but otherwise feel fine. I've got a scan at midday today so I will bring it up and see if they say anything..

I feel like a right berk because I think I've been having BH for a few weeks now without realising that that was what they were! I kept saying to OH "my bump feels kind of weird and tight but I'm not sure why.." I thought they'd be really painful.

 

[millielaura]

Yay glad they have settled down
They are weird aren't they! I can always tell when one is coming because I feel like I can't breathe and then I get the tight hard feeling in bump!
Mine have started to hurt now but on monitor yesterday it was picking them up but as they werent regular and getting closer together they werent worried..apparently labour contractions are super regular. Xxx

I've only had them a couple of times and hated them! Like severe cramps, I could hardly speak. Also had severe muscle pain when twisting. If contractions are worse I will be such a wimp and probably faint!
