Twins chat 2016/17!

[Laura1992]

Got a growth scan at midday and I'm getting nervous and excited about it. I'm really hoping their weight gap has closed a bit again because usually they've been within a quarter of a pound of each other but last time there was suddenly quite a big gap. Fingers crossed they are sharing that placenta like they should be! 3 pounds 7 ounces and 4 pounds 3 ounces two weeks ago so let's seeeee xx

 

[Blueflower]

Good luck!

 

[Laura1992]

Thanks! Updated Jan thread but 4 pounds 13 and 4 pounds 14 and both head down! Have you two got scans next week? Hope your twin 1 has moved head down Blue. It's definitely possible - mine were both head up 4 weeks ago and then one up and one down 2 weeks ago. I hope they stick now! xx

Wow fab sizes Laura ! Fingers crossed they stay head down now x

 

[Blueflower]

Those are brilliant weights for identical girls at 33 weeks Laura! I dread to think what's mine weigh then, they feel so heavy! I think twin one is still head up but there is less pressure in my ribs and I ache less so he might be on the move! Scan on Monday, lots of bending before then I think!

 

[Laura1992]

Get yourself on all fours! I am convinced that's what shifted her the other night because I could still feel her head up until I went on all fours for about 20 mins to try to relieve my back pain. She moved loads after.

Look forward to your weights! Eek it's so exciting now they're all getting so chunky and ready for the world xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

Oh wow - roll on these twins

Have you tried that thing where you get on your knees and lean off the couch so you have your elbows/hands on the floor that's supposed to help with positioning - cannot for the life of me remember the name of it

I'm excited for you ladies x

 

[Laura1992]

MrsB that sounds like acrobatics too far! Blue be careful haha xx

 

[Blueflower]

I am so tummy heavy I might over balance! Will try all fours though, have been doing it most days but will make an extra effort!

 

[Laura1992]

See if you can get your back rubbed while you do it.. that's what made me stay there for 20 mins!

 

[Blueflower]

Good idea! Did it on the bed last night wearing short pyjamas and DH came in unexpectedly and got a bit unnecessary!! Luckily my laughing put him off! I was not in the mood! I will try it wearing maternity trousers when I ask him to rub my back!

 

[Laura1992]

Haha Blueflower! That's hilarious. OH said the other day that my bump is "really sexy"! Certainly don't feel sexy.

Has anyone joined TAMBA? I am not sure whether it's any good or not. It is only a few quid per month though. xx

 

[MrsB2105]

I joined tamba it's £2 a month and I saved £4 on my eldest sons shoes the other day x

 

[Laura1992]

Ah I think it seems worth it. Apparently you get 40% off some cinema tickets too - if you ever find the time to go! xx

 

[Laura1992]

Oh man I just weighed myself for the first time in a while.. 13 stone 7 pounds. I'm doing well haha (10 st 2 pre-preg).

 

[Blueflower]

I am 12 stone 13, usually about 9, 12! When we give birth we will probably lose 2 stone straight away!!

 

[Laura1992]

Here is hoping I don't mind too much about how much weight is gained because it's more about where it's gone and I don't feel like I look like I've gained a lot of fat. It's really quite impressive though! It will be interesting to see how much comes off after all the fluid and baby is out! xx

 

[Blueflower]

Me too, not any larger anywhere else! We have something like a quarter extra blood volume and increased lung size so that could be some of it!

 

[Laura1992]

That must be it

 

[MrsB2105]

I weighed 13st6 on book in at 9 weeks pregnant and the day of my section I still weighed 13st6 lol - now I'm struggling to keep the weight off as I can't stop eating x
