Hi I posted last week (I think) about having bleeding in early pregnancy, just wanted to say I went for my follow up scan and Im having twins!!! I cant believe it I think Im still in major shock! Anyone else expecting twins or already have them just wondering what to expect in the pregnancy and how it differs from single baby.

Thanks

Wow, many congrats!! :j :T We haven't had any twins on this thread for agessssss

Hiya lou! Glad you popped on to see us . Don't think there's been any births since you were last on...likely a bit of a break now before the December ones start! :eek: Good luck with your appointments, be sure to let us know how they go!

P.S. our office cleaner asked me earlier when I was due and I told her Boxing Day. Turns out her daughter was due on Boxing Day, too, but was born on 17 Dec. I hope I have her luck!!!!

Congrats Hobo

Hope all goes well with the scan & consultant Lou

Anyone know what 28 week bloods are for? Tried to ask MW yesterday and she said 'to test things', erm, yes, figured as much!

Kindof - not sure if you want to discuss birth etc with midwife? I wanted to ask some Qs about pain relief options so I could get an idea in my head of what I wanted, then be able to consider and come back with any further Qs next appointment, as even though it's early baby might be early so would rather be prepared iykwim?

Ooh Boots man has just been with my goodies, got some cot sheets (not v exciting) & the Burts Bees bits for baby, they smell lovely OOh & some make up & perfume for me, whoops! Just waiting on Mr Tesco & Mr Carpet to come now before 5, fun fun fun!

gym - are you having the anti-D? I thought this is what mine were for! (they do a pre-shot and post-shot test?)

Congrats hobo :j

gym - part of the 28 week blood is a full blood count to check you're not anaemic, not sure what else

I'm baking a cake for my Mummy Off down South for a few days to see the folks and some friends then away for the weekend with my bestest girlfriends, we haven't all been together for 2 years so v.v.v.excited :j:beer:

Rhesus and iron - don't think anything else and think rhesus is only if you're negative?

gymfiend

No, no anti-d Must be the blood count thing?

Ahh IHF sounds like you'll have a lovely week

Not looking forward to my 28 week bloods, mw can never find my veins, cue loads of bruising for me. And then having to go to the blood clinic so they can have a go lol.

Hobo - Twins! Wow! Congrats

Pretty much painted 90% of nursery now, just the last touch ups of paint that need to be done cause OH cant keep within the lines lol.

I stopped for a rest and waiting for most of it to dry now

Eeeh my friend is having her 12 week scan right now!!
