Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

shortdog

Well, I had my 12 week scan today, which dated me at exactly 12 weeks.
With twins.
Holy poo!!!!!!!!

My eldest 2 are over the moon, they've decided it means they're getting one each lol, all I can think about is OMG, I'm going to have 4 kids! I'm outnumbered!

I'm still in shock, I knew I was big, but it's my 3rd pregnancy, and I expected to be big, wasn't expecting there to be two of them in there! Good news is, they're both doing well, both exactly 55mm from head to bottom, and they are non-identical.

I've got 6 months to get used to the idea (and to buy 2 of everything, and a new car, and a double pram, and figure out where we're putting them....)

Congrats! I found out at 6 weeks and was also in shock for a while
I'm just about used to it now. We've bought a twin pram from eBay and are borrowing an extra cot, so doesn't have to break the bank. And good that you have little helpers excited about it all!

TL- Welcome and congrats :j

SD- OMG Twins! How exciting. Congrats :j

Good idea about the list, thanks for doing that Lily. According to MW and my LMP my current EDD is 20/12/13. I STILL have no idea about my 12 week scan date :mad:
Getting a bit peeved now as I thought I would at least have a date booked in. I want to see my first little baby bean picture and hear the heartbeat. Getting all green eyed monster on all you lucky ones who have got to see theirs lol.

Might have to call up MW and bug her about it tomorrow if my scan letter doesn't arrive. Hopefully she can give me the right number for the hospital so I can check I havn't been forgotten about. I'm supposed to be 11 weeks on friday, so not long until 12 weeks!

Ullo, guess I'm over here now. Got three positive internet cheapies yesterday and a positive frer today so I guess I'm up duffed

Not really sunk in yet, refusing to think 'im going to have a baby' until I have a healthy twelve week scan as two years ago I had a mmc and we've been trying ever since

Not much in the way of symptoms but different from last time which is comforting. Got sore boobs, tender lower belly and I feel sick if I eat red meat. If I have to be a veggie for nine months I'll be proper miffed lol

have told my parents as we currently live with them, close friends will be after we have a private scan at about nine weeks- any north west recommendations would be greatfully received x

Try Hello Baby in St Helens - it's the cheapest at £50 (£45 with voucher from internet)

If you want more of a medical-type scan This is my is good but they charge a lot more - I think around £100. They have facilities in Leeds and Manchester. I used them for my 12 week scan and they were really excellent, and even predicted the sex (and got it right!)

Good luck!

Congratulations on your twin news - I think that is probaby my secret fantasy.

Had some bleeding this afternoon....so phoned EPU again and the absolutely lovely woman who I have seen a million times already told me to go straight down. They did a scan and could see the bleed but she said it was only about half an inch, no where near baby, and was caused by bruising. Guess what from....my furious attempts with the doppler yesterday to hear the heartbeat. You'd think I'd know better. Anyway, OH has hidden it.
OWIU - I have been using the same doppler I used with all my pregnancies but I wouldn't buy one again. It's very easy to worry unecessarily, especially if it's your first pregnancy, and sometimes ignorance is bliss. I thought i'd be okay using it but look at what I've managed to do

I've filled in the list as much as I can. Lippy, definitely call the hospital tomorrow and ask about your appointment. It may have been lost inthe post xx

Glad everything is OK Lily. Don't think I will get a doppler in case I drive myself mad with it. I take it the bleed will just resolve itself?

Going for my lmp I should be due around 25/01/14.

Have my first appointment with the midwife booked for next week. I am a little concerned that I have gained over 1kg already, going to have a chat with her about what I can do about diet & exercise while pregnant.

SD - Twins! OMG. Don't think could cope with 2 at once. Congratulations.

Hi all and welcome to all the new BFPs
I had a massive scare on bank holiday Monday with really painful pelvic cramping and thumping in my lower belly. We went to A&E who suspected might be ectopic pregnancy...
Due to the time in the evening, it was too late to see anyone at the EPU so I had to be monitored all night on a hospital ward and wait till Tuesday morning for early scan. This was the longest night of my life, honestly!
Anywho finally had transvaginal ultrasound at 10 in the morning, baby is fine with heartbeat and measuring 30.4mm crown to rump :j:j
The diagnostic is... trapped wind
It's a massive relief! We've now told both sets of parents who are over the moon.
For the list Lilymay: dating scan on 17th June, EDD 25th December (based on LMP and fetus size)
