Pregnancy #65

[fishsticks]

Hello fellow twin mamas! How are you feeling and how far along are you?

I’m 16 weeks now (so out of the horrific first trimester). We’ve got our first appointment with the fetal medicine team tomorrow and I’m pretty anxious about it - our twins are MCDA. Also hoping we might be able to find out gender (though I know it’s not the point of the scan!).

Ahhh someone else!! Hello!!

I'm feeling really really really nauseous, been sick twice, but kept most things down apart from that! Tiredness is next level too and I already look about 20 weeks pregnant. My private scan yesterday said Twin 1 was 7w6d and twin 2 was 8w1d. So around 8 weeks at the moment. We're having DCDA twins so I believe we're lowest risk. I've just had my booking appointment and had NO idea it involved a blood test as that didn't happen with my first 3 years ago!!! I'm not good with needles so two faints later they managed to find a vein and get some blood. I've been prescribed high dosage folic acid and metoclopramide for the nausea, but not sure whether to take it or not yet.

Does MCDA mean identical?! Hoping everything goes okay for you - fingers crossed you get to know what your babies are too! We're going to have a private gender scan at 16w so we can prepare as much as possible. We've got lots of boys clothes from my first, but nothing for a girl! x

How exciting!!! So glad there's someone else on this thread expecting twinnies. I'm glad we didn't find out at our 12 week scan actually; at least we've got an extra 4 weeks of thinking time.

Eeeeek!! Hope everything is going well for you. I'm really quite worried as we'd booked Disneyland Paris for December and I'll be around 28 weeks if everything goes okay. Wondering what the hell to do. I've also got an internal job interview this week and I already look pregnant!

Yeah that's true, with twins the longer you have to prepare the better I think, especially as our pregnancies tend to be a bit shorter I feel like I had mentally prepared for all sorts of news at the 12 week scan apart from the possibility of twins ahh Disney, I'm so jealous! Hopefully the magic of it all will distract from any aches and pains you may be experiencing and at least it won't be as hot as we have had it recently! Good luck for the interview!!
