Due March 2019

Hey hun!

No im not on anything extra. I am using Clexane to help for blood flow. I am using utrogestan for added progesterone. I am on folic acid which is quite high too. that's it. But fertility clinics are like that, they make sure you are on progesterone for a while.

Definitely going to breastfeed. I really hope my boobies play along as I have small boobs naturally. They getting a bit bigger now, but need to really improve with twinnies!!

How you??

Hello Ladies,

@Cands those look so nunus, I am glad all went well with your scan.

@Babydreaming so sorry to hear that you still have the flu, I hope you are feeling much better. I do envy you on not having morning sickness, it is making me so miserable right now. With me it's the same as it was with my daughter, so sick:sick:

AFM I have been battling with a migraine since Wednesday (1st day at the new job, can you imagine?) until now, I am so miserable, can't even sleep at night. I find myself sitting up in the middle of the night and crying cause the pain is just unbearable. That time I am only allowed to take Panado which is doing absolutely nothing to me, I've already gone through 1 box. I really need it to stop or I am going to lose my mind. Nausea is still there but at this stage I feel like I can handle the nausea, I just need this headache to stop:cry:

I did tell my boss about the pregnancy *phew* he seemed ok, could really "read" him. However the company maternity leave policy says that you must have spend a year in the company to qualify for 4months of fully paid maternity leave, which is a bummer:( The Policy is silent on what happens when you haven't completed a year. He said he'll take it up with HR, so I guess I'll wait to hear how my maternity leave will be affected.

On a lighter and happier note, I went for my scan this morning and it went wonderfully. Dr said the headache could be due to low blood pressure, my bp measured quite low. Baby is looking really well and growing very fast, s/he measured 1 day older (i.e. 8w6d, as opposed to 8w5d), but Dr said it just shows s/he'll be a big baby. Heartbeat was at 166bpm, aahh man nothing beats hearing baba's heartbeat!

My next appointment is on the 31 Aug, at 12w5d, and that's the big scan as they'll be doing down syndrome and any chromosomal up-normalities tests, can't wait.

I hope you ladies are doing fine, wishing you all a lovely weekend.

@Cands - Absolutely! I can imagine how drained you are. Well just take it easy and rest up as much as possible. Do you have to take any extra supplements seeing that you carry twins? Hehe I hear you, with my first pregnancy I had very bad morning sickness, even lost weight in the 1st trimester. Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will only be at ease once we have had a proper scan and I know baby is happy. Are you planning to breastfeed?

Really the best moment of my life so far!! I am doing well, lots of little cramps and pokes today. Nausea still has me beaten most days. And the exhaustion is intense. I go to bed at 8 most nights. I cant function after work!

I know the lack of nausea is feels worrying, but you are what I call sooooo lucky! A lot of women don't even get nauseous. So its all good. I am sure baby is happy.

@mamaK good luck with the job yay so exciting! And good luck with telling them about baba, if they don't know already?

AFM - Geez this flu has got me hey, Dr said I can take Sinupret at least, but ya only started yesterday. Still no nausea, make me feel a bit worried my friend, coz I dont feel pregnant. At least my boobs are sore and growing.....

Hi ladies!!

I went for my 7w4d scan yesterday. The babies are doing so great!!! I have attached photos. They both have reallly strong heartbeats.

Baby A 12.5mm and heart rate 159 BPM.
Baby B 12.8mm and heart rate 164 BPM

Going back to vitalab at 9 weeks to check that they are doing perfectly.

I booked my first scan at Dr Rene janse van Rensburg for 12:30 on 30th August. Finally picked one! He is at Sandton Clinic and is a multiples specialist. Cant wait!!

How is everyone doing?

Good Morning Ladies,

@Cands super excited for you, hearing those little heartbeats is going to change your life, so precious!

@Babydreaming I envy you so much with no nausea, I’m a mess!
