    OH says I've had one, then two so must be triplets this time :eek:

    I hope not! No visible bump but this time bean has lots of blubber to hide behind!

    :eek::eek::eek::rotfl:
    Ohhhh I see Smartie, well it would be very cool we havent had twins on here in ages (still worry about Kenckoo)

    I still think about kencko too

    delain - you joke but I know someone who had a single, twins then triplets!

    Smartie - would you like twins? Me and OH would have loved them we both have them in our family and this pg did start as twins but the other one never made it past 8 weeks :( But after 6 years of trying we are grateful for our lil princess :D

    Sorry about lil princess' twin :(

    I can't say I would chose to have twins but I'm sure I would be excited by it;) We'd have major practical issues (we're in a very tiny house with a teenager:eek:) BUT as with everything in life we would deal with it.

    I joked to DS that it was twins and he said "really?" with a HUGE grin on his face! Bless him:rotfl:

    You're all going to be dissapointed if it's not now aren't you??:D Don't get your hopes up though cos I'm sure it's just the one! :)

    Hi ladies, just popping in to gloat :D I'm 12 weeks AND I heard munchkin's heart today :D:D:D was going at a million miles an hour, sooooo cute! Scan on Monday, I'm very excited about it now

    Smartie, I'm massive too so was also wondering about twins especially as there are lots in hubby's family and the babies I mc'ed in summer were twins. Mw says probably not though although we won't know til Monday for sure. I think being big is more likely linked to hormones, er constipation, and it being babe number 2. Having said that, what the hell do I know!

    They're really fighting over on ttc5; it's really upsetting me :(

    I'm craving ice cream and pancakes generally!

    Got my ob appointment/12 week scan on Monday. Will probably have some decisions to make re cervical stitch I guess so am taking mum as OH can't get time off.
    Taking baby-steps :beer:
  • Just wanted some tips re essential oil etc

    I have heard a few drops of Clary Sage in a bath helps bring on labour ?? anyone else heard this ( obviously not to be used until 37 wks +)

    I also remember my midwife from my 1st pregnancy saying a few drops of tea tree oil in the bath was good re infection after birth & arnica pills & cream was good for bruising in the general foof area after birth

    Just wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas I'm trying to get organised and just wondering what would be a good buy

    I'm 13 + 2 today, I've put on 2 1/2 lbs, feeling flutters most days, still being sick 2/3 times a day ( find it's worse when I eat too much in one sitting, or walk fast ), was at the doctors today as my knee is playing up it's apparently an old injury being exaggerated by pregnancy hormones relaxing muscles - pregnancy seeks out you weak spots and exploits them !!!

    Hope everyone else is doing well
    Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:

    Ive just read the ttc thread, unfortunalty this happens loads!

    Its always newbies against oldies, with the oldies getting upset sometimes when newbies get BFP and maybe newbies not being totally sensitive to oldies having been there for a while

    I remember when me and EA got our BFP there was some hoo haa not long after aswell cos some of the oldies didnt like newbies getting BFPs sgtraifht away, which upset me to be honest (cos I did fall very fast)

    I think thats why the 12 months plus thread is probs good

  • It's quite painful to read because I think that both 'sides' have valid points. I do agree that this does seem to happen every few months, but it does seem fairly unpleasent at the moment.
