Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share with you all that I had my 28 weeks scan (in fact 27+4 scan) and the twins are doing well! What a relief, as always! The boy is more than a kilo, a little above average for this time and the girl a bit under average, but not much, 940 grams (Don't know what that's in lb but will check)! the doctors were quite pleased! My fundus, as can be expected, is that of a woman 31 weeks (singleton) in other words I am getting really big! The boy is already head down and the girl is lying sort of sideways, not too bad if they stay this way! I was really so happy after the appointment as for the fisrt time we got a good chat with a more experienced specialist than the assistants in training we'd been getting so far, we discussed the possibilities of birth etc. Now if I can only keep them another 10 weeks!
love to all,
juliana
28 weeks scan news

Such good news - well done - try and relax a bit - says me. weights are fine and my two were a bit like that but stayed in place - well one is head down and has been for yonks the other is now transverse but fine! I was measuring 32-33wks at that stage but had had a spurt - you will pile it on yet.
Take care - did DH get the books?
Any names yet?
Love

Hi Juliana
I am really pleased for you that everything is going to plan and that the babies are growing nicely. It doesn't seem like that long ago you were on your 2ww!!
Look after your little bundles and I hope the next 10 weeks go smoothly. Are you planning on having a natural birth??

Hi girls,
I also very happy posting happy posts instead of panicky ones! and Iam even happier beacuse this week is officially my last one off work! I had to take some holidays to make myself stop because for some reason work kept coming and coming and I tried to wrap everything before I went and then something else would come so I was having difficulties drawing the line! But now I've taken two weeks holidays and then starting extended maternity leave from 30 weeks as per doctor's recommendation (otherwise one can only stop at 34 weeks in the Netherlands, but for twisn they advised me strongly to stop at 30 ). The holidays are more symbolic than anything else, although DP and I hope to make a short drive to France in the weekend, if I can stand the car for 4 -5 hours. I am keen to get out of here one more time before I get even more restricted in my movements! We went for a weekend in Maastricht last week and it was so great, although it was also somewhat funny - one hour of walking and two hours of sitting in front of a cafe is not our usual approach
.Anyway just being away for a day or two does me good, so I hope I feel well enough to do this tomorrow, will be the last time.
Tracey, I was almost worried you had disappeared and gone to give birth, looking for news from you every day now. How do you feel? It seems I measure similar to you, did I say 31-32 weeks at 28? guess what... I am off waxing today, makes me think of Nikola! DP looked for the books but did not find them, I am ordering them from Amazon.
Dagny, it seems indeed yesterday that I was on the 2ww and being received so warmly in the forum! I am thinking about you! How is your special movie programme? I hope you have less pain, it must have been awful on top of everything you've been through to have the pains.
names, we are still vety unsure but DP insists it should be our little secret so for now I can only tell you we have not come up with two names we both like, not very helpful, but the cross cultural relationship does not help here !
Alisonn, when did you fall? I hope it was not very bad! You must really take care, although I understand so well the urge to keep doing things! how are you feeling now?
love to all,
juliana
