hi all,

just got back from the RE every thing is great. I was a little scared. Baby A - 22mm and HB 172. Baby B - 24mm and HB 176. nice and strong. I get to stop shots in 2 weeks really happy about that. I see the OB for our first appt tomorrow. i still have the subchronic hemotoma but it is getting smaller so that is good.

Hope everyone has a great day. God Bless everyone.

Christie - Everything sounds great :o) Good luck at your first OB appt, I had mine last week. My only concern is not being monitored as frequently, my next OB appt is in 6 weeks! :o( I guess we get spoiled with the RE's. Today was my last day of meds and I am so, so happy. And, yes, I am extremely tired, all day long, no matter how much sleep I get I constantly feel tired. I have my own office at work and every lunch break, I close the door and take a nap for about 30-45 minutes, it is crazy. Hopefully once we get past the first trimester, things will start to get a little better, that's what I hear anyway.

I hope everyone is doing great!

hi all!! sounds like everyone is doing well. i so feel sorry for those going through the constipation issues. i had that weeks ago and thought i would die!! i just ate my weight in fiber one products. luckily they taste good and they really help. i also added a stool softner to my daily meds. had ob appointment today. babies are measuring ahead baby a by 5 days and baby b by 3. so we are good to go here. unfortunately she still wants me on my progesterone for another 3 or 4 weeks. i was so hoping to stop it!! :cry: on the other hand, i like being treated like a regular ob patient. makes me feel normal. next appointment is in 4 weeks. i still have the severe nausea but am waiting for the first trimester to go away so it will too. hope everone has a good weekend!!

Glad everyone is doing good. Nothing new with me. I don't really have any symptoms. Sometimes I feel a little nausious when I wake up, but only if i go to bed hungry.
I also feel like I am getting a pouch. My clothes don't feel tighter and I am not gaining weight but when I am naked, my tummy is definitely bigger than before. It makes me worried that I am eating to much. Its just so hard when you are so hungry constantly.
Next friday is my 2nd U/S at RE's office. Then I off to my regular OB. Hoping to hear the little ones HB soon! Is anyone else counting down till we get to find out the gender? Oh my, I want to know SO badly. I think its b/c its killing me not to shop and start working on the room. :D

Hi Girls...

Hope you are all feeling better.

Sorry to hear that some of you feel constipated. I was told to drink atleast 2 litres a day and this is what I am doing. I don't have constipation but find that I have a lot of gas.

Just to update you, I went for my 2nd scan and all seems well. It was very exciting as we saw the baby move and saw all the 4 limbs. The nurse said everything seems good as it should be so DH and I were very excited.

I am feeling quite nauseous on some days but better on the others. The tiredness is still there so decided to take more time off work and go back next week. Feel guilty about this but always remind myself that baby comes first.

Have any of you told work yet ? I think when I go back next week I may have to tell them as I don't walk as fast and am now starting to show a little...

I am now also booked in for normal scans at the hospital. I can't help feeling nervous but hope and pray all will be well...

Keep well everyone and remember to pamper yourselves...you deserve it...

Love,
Sita xx

My office has known from the beginning. It would have been impossible to get off work for all the fertility appts. Surprisingly, they have been very supportive. My boss is pregnant, so there wasn't much she could say. :-)

hello everyone.

My office has also known from the get go, because of all the fertility appointments would have been impossible to not explain. I have been here for almost 4 yrs and it is a small company so they where really excited for us.

I went for my first OB appt. was not too impressed i guess i just expect everyone to be excited about the babies like we are. Like the fertility clinic but they acted just like ok so your pregnant. We do have an appointment with a U/S specialist i guess to make sure everything is good at 12 wks which is in a couple of weeks already. Goes fast. Please because it is twins.

Hope everyone is doing ok and have a great day

My u/s this morning was not good news for us. There was no heartbeat and it looks like I lost the baby around 6 weeks, probably right after our 1st u/s. I am taking a break for a little while so I can emotionally pull myself together. I hope you all go on to have healthy full term babies!
