Oh yeah it's just a phase of it, I ran to Aldi and got ice pops they made me feel better.

It was my last day at work today 
had a growth scan/meeting with consultant on Monday and she flagged my resting heart rate as too high so I had to have an ECG 
I also had a blood test and I've now been put on iron tablets so I am so glad work is done with and I can take it as easy as I possibly can with a 3 year old 
now just have to keep these babies in for as long as I can

I have someone I line manage who has been so difficult (anonymously reporting me as arrogant and a racist kind of difficult) and I thought things were better but today I learn they’re just waiting for me to leave before they do whatever they want and it’s made me feel sick to my stomach. My career was like my first baby because I didn’t think I’d have a baby. I got to the ‘top’ of my career and got knocked up about 6 months into being there which wasn’t exactly part of the plan. Obviously, I’m so thrilled to be having a baby, I feel so grateful that I’ve had a relatively easy pregnancy, I’m grateful that he seems well nd healthy and growing ok. But I went off into a spiral of ‘this has come at the wrong time’ and ‘someone awful is going to destroy what I’ve been trying to build’ and I already feel weird about how Im ever going to balance a small child with a major job. I’ve done so many hours the last couple of weeks, and normally I wouldn’t care but I’m exhausted and now I’m emotional and scared of everything and angry that I’ve, for a split second, regretted the pregnancy I’ve been waiting and hoping for for so long. I don’t even know if we’ve appointed the right person. We’ve appointed a great person but for reasons they’ll be part time where I’m full time and I just think it’s all going to fall apart and Im not worried about needing to rebuild when I come back, but I am worried about it basically being my fault for being so busy doing the job of 2-3 people that I’ve been fooled into thinking there was a better working relationship with someone when instead they are so manipulative they are just biding their time till I’m gone to do what they like. Unhinged behaviour. But it’s really upset me.
Trying to think of boy names is so difficult. 
Every one I think of is either a) already a male relative b) an ex boyfriend/fling c) friend on either side d) someone one of us works with
NOW I understand why my paternal side of the family named their first and second born sons the same thing for five or more generations.

Might just end up calling him Brick as that's what it feels like I've been hobbling round carrying all day 
How exciting! Congratulations! Hope those babies stay in there for you as long as needed. Feels like you definitely need to take it easy… when are you booked in for the birth?It was my last day at work today
Omg I got one of those pillows and it just arrived
Thank you!! I'm only 25 weeks tomorrow, I'm taking 3 weeks holiday and then officially on maternity leave after that, I'm too scared of premature labour that I just wanted to leave work ASAP so I didn't have that to worry and stress over too! I told my consultant at my last appointment I wanted to elect for a C-section, she said my next appointment at 29 weeks will be when I need a decision but I know my mind won't change! Hopefully I will get more info about everything then, I didn't have a C-section with my 1st so I'm terrified but the thought of giving birth vaginally to twin 1 and then needing an emergency C-section for twin 2 terrifies me a lot more
So my continual rib pain which is killing me and I did think maybe it’s inflammation and not just soreness (I kept being told by everyone around me and even a midwife) are contractions!!!
Girls if you think something isn’t right listen to your body!

Yeah fully agreed re the scheduled c-section. That’s the route we will go down too, as long as these two little ones stay inside until then!!Thank you!!

Sending you so much positivity and really hope they stay in for another 11 weeks! Keep us updated.
I too am quite concerned about the risks of preterm labour - did you have a cervical length scan? I had one at 16 weeks and will have another at 20 weeks, to assess the risks and make a decision on a cerclage (which also terrifies me). Pregnancy feels more scary than I thought it would!
Thank you, will do! I'll be hanging around on here after to see your updates too!
I did have one at 18+6, they said it was fine and they didn't feel it was necessary for me to have another but I had read online about somebody going from an okay length to really short in 2 weeks so I'm just hoping for the best really!
I hope everything will be okay with you and you won't need a cerclage but at least knowledge is power and you can make the right decision for you
I’m struggling with boy names. I’ve worked with a lot of service users over the years, mostly men, and I’m trying to avoid names of service users, then names of awful members of staff who have been awful over the years are out too. We’d got a name in our top 3 but that turned out to be a service user who caused quite a lot of bother and so that was out. MrDragName has stupid names on his list that will be bad with our surname, especially if the boy has any sort of lisp at any time!Trying to think of boy names is so difficult.

I did. Ate about 3 Medjool dates a day and had a fairly quick and easy labour. Could just be coincidence though.
The same applies when the baby is actually here. Most of the time the answer is 'yeah, babies are strange and do all sorts of weird tit'
We have a shortlist of boys names but I’m struggling for girls.
I don’t like many boys names so I nervously mentioned my favourite to my husband and he said ‘yeah I like that’ so I think that means it’s decided lol. There are quite a lot of girls names I like so need to narrow the list down to some we both like, my husband said my list was a lot of ‘weird names’ lol
I thought I’d always want a girl so I guess I had thought more about girl names and probably would down to one or two by now. I’m super excited to have a boy, but choosing his name feels hard for some reason. We had a couple of early favourites but I’m not sure at this point. I’m also conscious I need to see what he looks like properly. What if we decide his name is George (for argument’s sake) and he comes out looking nothing like a George. Then we’re fecked.
We’re having a girl 
and have a short list of 4 names. I don’t think we’ll decide until she’s here.
I was convinced we were having a boy so we had the name sorted. We would have chosen Osian if we were having a boy.

Choosing a name really opens a can of worms to how many people one dislikes 
I posted on here a few months back about how upset I was because I stupidly felt forced to tell my sister and mum about our potential name choices.Choosing a name really opens a can of worms to how many people one dislikes
They were both horrible about our choices
and it really upset me.Now that I’m heavily pregnant and carried my baby girl and loved her and looked after her I think duck if you have zero right to have any say in our name choices
