Hi Rachel,<br><br>I've just been looking back at earlier posts and realised that I never replied to your msg re: what hospital I'm under. I'm so sorry - I'd forget my head at the moment if it wasn't screwed on (or whatever the saying is!!)<br><br>At the moment, I'm under Shirley Oaks Hospital still, but will be referred to either Mayday or East Surrey in Redhill - that's a shame, we could have met in the waiting room at St. Helier cos it's only about 15/20 mins from us!<br><br>Hope you and baby are doing OK - have you felt any flutters yet?<br><br>Loads of love,<br><br>Jo<br>xx

Hi Jo<br><br>Don't worry - my memory's horrendous at the moment too!<br><br>Herbie is really moving at the moment - the last 3 days particularly. Had a couple of days last week where I couldn't feel anything and got worried but since then, touch wood, all's fine. It was lovely to see him again yesterday at our 20 week scan - can't believe we're half way through now! Frightening how time moves so fast.<br><br>Glad to see on your other posting that your two are thriving.<br><br>Take care<br><br>Love<br><br>Rachel<br>x

Hi Jo!<br><br>Just to gatecrash on your post, I had my twins at East Surrey Hospital (18 months ago now) so if you want to know anything about it, just ask.<br><br>Jules

Hi Jules,<br><br>Just wondering, when exactly did you have your twins? The reason being is that my Sister had her Daughter on Friday 22nd March 2002 and there was a lady in the bed opposite her who had given birth to twins.<br><br>Big coincidence I know, but the timing sounded right!!!<br><br>Wouldn't it be a VERY SMALL WORLD if it was you !!!!!<br><br>Love<br><br>Jo<br>xx

Hi Jo,<br><br>That is completely spooky. My two were born on Friday 22nd March, 2002 as well! But my best friend (who I also met through the internet through another spooky coincidence) had her twins in East Surrey on Thursday 21st March, 2002 so it could have been her instead. Do you know what ward your sister was on? <br><br>Jules

Hi Jo<br><br>I've just read that you are at Shirley Oaks. I live in Merstham near Redhill and as they don't do IVF at East Surrey we were transfered to The Mayday with Mr Booker. We have had out treatment there for the last 3 years. We went to Shirley Oaks over a weekend if we needed extra scans with Frances (she's so nice). I had my tubes removed at Shirley Oaks. I expect you are with Mr Booker. We will be having our baby at East Surrey. When are you due? We are due at the end of May.<br><br>Hope you are feeling ok, I am feeling really sick at the mo - Yuk!<br><br>Love Dagny x

Hi Jules,<br><br>OMG!!! Diane (my sister, who also works with me) and I have just sat here and had goosebumps go up our arms!! What a small bloody world!!<br><br>Di thinks she was in Rusper ward - the lady with twins was in the 1st bed on the left handside as you came through the door - Di was in the 2nd bed on the right handside.<br><br>She thinks the lady had twin boys(?) and they went home on the Saturday or Sunday. My sister had to have a c-section and so didn't go home until the Monday.<br><br>Whether it was you or your friend, you're on my sister's video!!<br><br>This is so spooky!!<br><br>Love<br><br>Jo<br>xx

Hi Jo<br><br><br>Well it wasn't me - I was on Burstow ward. But my friend Ali went home on the Sunday so it could well have been her. She has long dark hair and had a boy and a girl on the Thursday. I'll ask her which bed she was in! I can't believe that through the internet I've met/heard about 3 other people who were having babies in East Surrey at the same time as me (there's another lady who now has twins but had her single baby in Rusper ward on the Thursday as well) - it's such a small world.<br><br>Jules<br>

Hi again Jo,<br><br>I've spoken to Ali and it was her. She's totally spooked about the whole thing too (and says that she's sorry that she didn't have the time to chat to your sister!!!).<br><br>Jules
