Twins...

[Mod-Nomsie]

Haha. Are there twins in either families?

No so it definitely was a huge shock!

This was back in 2009.

The symptoms were terrible. I was in QLD at the time for a holiday. For 2 weeks I couldn't stop stuffing my face. I didn't understand what the hell was going on, I was so bloated and just so ravenous. I ate around the clock. I even stuffed packets of potato chips in my pillow case. It was madness, I thought it was just really bad pms (which I have never gotten in my life) and the whole time was thinking "any day now I'll get my period..."

Haha potato chips in your pillow case what a classic!! I also cannot stop eating. I feel so off thinking about food but still can't stop eating.

Plus I'm 5 weeks and incredibly bloated, I look equivalent to at least 10 or 11 weeks with my girls.

I've got mine crossed for you too. Imagine if we both have twins !

Sorry I didn't mean to hijack your thread! Wouldn't that be amazing and wonderful hey?

[mumofprincess]

Haha...you haven't hijacked anything ! I love hearing everyone's stories...including potato chips in pillow ! Too funny.

I've been eating heaps too but today I'll be hungry...eat...feel sick
I'm also so bloated...4 weeks...look 4 months!!

It's so funny how different everyone's symptoms are/were! I wasn't sick or hungry at all, I said to the midwife when she 'diagnosed' our twins that how could that be because don't you get really bad morning sickness with twins haha!!! I was still in denial after seeing it on the screen very clearly! I also didn't show that early, and even though I was definitely big at the end, I wasn't much bigger than I was with my single pregnancies, a lot of people who didn't know I was having twins were in shock when they saw me with two babies haha!!! And they were 3kg each when I had them

How are you feeling hopingtosoonbeamummy ?

[hopingtosoonbeamummy]

Hi! I'm feeling pretty rubbish still. One minute I'm starving but as soon as I eat the idea of food repulses me and I'm soooo tired. Smells are also killing me, I can't stand the smell of the toilet paper it makes me sick!

My abdomen also resembles a balloon of late haha.

How bout you hon, how are you feeling?

[mumofprincess]

Oh I'm the same. Starving hungry, eat feel sick, then hungry again. Sooo tired but can't sleep and have a big bloated belly at 4 weeks!
I get my scan on 7th Sept so can't wait to see if 1 or 2 !
When is your scan going to be?

[jetaime]

I had high hcg levels, really bad cramping and my 24/7 sickness kicked in by 5 weeks.
Of course I had an idea it was twins being IVF and having 2 embryos transferred, so it wasnt totally unexpected.
Anyway, its 5am and Im up forcing some toast into me. These twins are making me so sick!

[hopingtosoonbeamummy]

We sounds so similar mumofprincess! I feel for you, it's so hard being hungry and feeling sick from food at the same time.

My scan is Tuesday 4th September. I honestly don't know how I have waited so long already, although I am going to be a ball of nerves on the morning I know it.

Jetaime you poor thing you sound like you're really suffering at the moment . I hope you managed to eat something? They're all the symptoms I've had too minus the cramping.
