kholtan, hope your scan went well. R.e. weight gain during PG - I gained quite a bit but you'd expect to with 2 babies, 2 placentas and 2 lots of amniotic fluid. I think you are right to keep the motto "eat sensibly" as your foremost thoughts. In hindsight I was healthy through PG but then it all fe...

Hi Rittie, I am glad my ramblings are of some use. Not long to go for you now. I'm trying to think of any other tips. I might just write them down as they come to me so forgive the dodgy sentence structure........ If you can be bothered at this stage or rope in some help, try and do some bulk cookin...

Kholtan, Me too - I used to pretend my little brother was my twin brother. We did look very alike and once, I remember, a lady asked our mum if we were twin boys!! The cheek of it - I grew my hair after that!! My girls are almost 14 months now and both walking well and into everything - they are bri...

Kandice,
Congratulations! My DH & I were in the same scenario as yourself and DH with our 1st IVF/ICSI. I too had a high hcg level and we had twin girls (13 months old now).
All the best.

kholtan, COngratulations! I had the girls by elective CSection. Initially when I found out we were PG I was desperate to have a vaginal delivery - not entirely sure why I just was. Possibly as it might have been my only pregnancy and chance to have a "normal" delivery. At 30 weeks my presenting baby...

Hi everyone. I have just returned to the board afer a long time away. I would like to congratulate you all and wish you all the best as you cope with the roller coaster of emotions " yeah twins" v's "aaarrrgh twins". My girls are 13 months now and life with them just gets better and better. If I wer...

Oooops sorry I have just realised that I only read page 1 of messages and clearly I am months behind so apologies for inappropriate message in the middle of all this!!! Prior to having babies I used to be sane and organised - now I am afraid to say I am a bit ditzy :D :shock: :oops: Justine - congra...

You have had lots of replies but don't know if mine might help too - I had twins delivered by planned C/S due to presenting twin in extended breech position at 38 weeks -one was 6 lb 11 0z and the other was 5 lb 11 oz.

Good luck.

em, Congratulations on your BFP! My girls have just had their first birthday. I would say that 2 bouncy chairs are a good idea but mostly one of everything else when they are first born. Agree that baby baths are not necessary. Unlike some of the others, I found my twin breastfeeding pillow invaluab...

Hi Michelle. I was browsing the boards after a long long time of being absent and came to your message first after logging in. Congratulations on your arrivals everyone, by the way. My girls have just had their first birthday. I breastfed them both until they were 8 months old and one weekend they b...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good Christmas Day. I'm taking some time-out from festive TV and DVDs to have a quick catch-up. My brain function nowadays daoesn't extend to individual messages so I hope you will all forgive me for a general response!! Almost 37 weeks now and really chuffed to still...

Hi there! I have not posted for an embarrassingly long time and am glad to read your messages and would love to join you all for a chat. I am 33w 2d with twins - our first babies. Life has been hectic to say the least for the past 4 months with various things happening and the wee ones have just bee...

Sorry to be soooo late in sending a response.

I was gutted to read your news and so sad for you both. From reading your posts you sound amazingly together.

I wish you the strength to overcome all the obstacles and for your dream to come true soon.

Thinking of you.

LittleP, Blimey I can't believe you're almost at EC. Hang on in there for the next few days - a wee bit of anxiety is not a bad thing. Keep thinking positive thoughts. All the waiting around is hard but you need to pull on that strength you have and believe that your dream is about to come true - an...
