Mummies with Multiples - Lets Chat #3

[tw1nmummy]

Raynae,

I'm still in shock at having two These two are our first aswell so i'm pretty nervous/anxious thinking about how I'm going to be with two.

I still have MS in the morning but have stopped taking Ondanzatron for the vomitting and just letting it come up if it wants to. I've been sick since Week 6 so i'm more than used to it by now!

I'm trying to get use to be so big now, it's pretty difficult to sleep, get out of the car, move around normally, walk around for an extended amount of time etc.. I find myself getting quite exhausted very easily and I just feel like there couldn't possibly be anymore room for another few months growth haha, I haven't had much movement due to my baby girl's Anterior Placenta getting in the way of all her wriggling but i'm sure once they are bigger i'll feel alot more.

How are you going at the moment, have you gotten use to the idea yet? Will these be your first and last babies?

It's my phone & I'll cry if I want to.

Hi Sarah

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I haven't logged in for a while. Although myself and DH are both so excited about the bubbas, we are the same as you... very anxious and nervous about how we will cope. DH keeps saying 'how will we go with two, we don't know what to do with one'! As first timers, it is very daunting however I guess it is good also as at least we have nothing to compare it to! I don't think we'll be having any more kidlets after this - two will be enough to keep us out of trouble I think. What about yourself?

You poor thing re the morning sickness still going - mine started at 7 weeks and continued until around 16 weeks. I just remember the relief when I realised it was going... mine was 24/7 for about 7 weeks and then reduced to just the morning and then disappeared completely. I had to take Zofran to get some relief too when the sickness was really really bad. Hopefully yours is on the way out now that it has reduced to mornings... I will have my for you!

I feel pretty much the same as you with regards to sleeping, getting in and out of the car and climbing stairs and walking around - if I do too much I get a really sore pelvis. I am also getting really tired really easily - I find that I just can't do nearly as much as I used to which can be really frustrating but I just have to keep reminding myself that I have two bubbas which is why I feel so exhausted all the time! I am getting pretty big now - I had friends over for afternoon tea on the weekend and one of them is 37 weeks pregnant, I was as big as her! It's actually really funny to watch people's reactions when they say 'oh, you wouldn't have that long to go now' and I say 'well actually I still have 3 months'. It's pretty funny!

My little boy has an anterior placenta so it took much longer for me to be able to feel his movements. I have felt a lot more in the past week or so - it must be as he is getting bigger/stronger that the kicks are getting more powerful and now I can feel them. The little girl never stops wiggling - I wonder if that is a sign of things to come!?! It is so nice to feel their movements though

Are you working at present? I am but am finding it is becoming more of a struggle as each week passes by. I have an office job but the lack of sleep is really not helping with the whole concentration thing! I was going to finish at the end of August but the more I think about it, I might try for mid August (depending on them finding a replacement in time).

Tripletime - he he, I bet. Geez, three babies - you deserve a medal! I suppose you get tripple the love so it is all worth it!

Having 30 fingers peel open your eyes of a morning makes it all worth it.

welcome naeby10. i have 2 year old boy/girl twins!! I'm like TripleTime... a lot of the time it's still a huge shock and they are 2!! I'm a single mum and life is very challening with no help from anyone!!!

TT- how are you going these days hun?

[TripleTime]

Im getting there, move to melbourne on friday. PND is under control, down to minimal meds. A has an appointment with a surgeon in sept for her neck, T's having her tonsils out, J's being J, talking up a storm.

Hows you & the dynamic duo?

How did the sleep study go hun?

Yeah we are ok... i'm finding it very hard to cope and then think how do you manage with 3!! I couldn't do it... having 2 with no break ever is hard enough... my two have been shocking sleepers for months now and i'm really struggling!!

Hope to hear from someone!
Thanks!!!

A slept, T & J didn't. Instead of waking up for a scream festival from 1-3am, J now wakes & plays for 2 hours. Explains why he first surface till after 8. Get results in 6 weeks.

Before we moved we had a few weeks of no sleep, ended up finding new teeth.

I'd just like to announce that I have 2 little people out of day nappies & into pull ups of a night.

I'm so impressed with my girls & myself. I really had no idea what the heck I was doing but listened to them & followed their lead.

That 200 nappies I bought last month is going to last longer than normal.

Did I mention I'm impressed with our efforts?
