how is everyone doing? i am so ready for them to be out lol im getting so uncomfortable already and im only 26 weeks, ive got another 10 weeks yet! twin2 still has reduced amniotic fluid but she is growing well ad putting on weight. her weight has caught up with twin1 and they both weigh 2lb now! little chubbers. they seem less concerned about the fluid now and im back to appts every 2 weeks. i feel relieved but still so paranoid and nervous, i just want them here safe with me and thier family

i still have no idea for names. anyone thought of any good ones?

ps itsmelou, i just noticed your ticker. i am having my girls at 36 weeks so it will be around 12th july. our twins could be less than a week apart!

I totally agree with everyone else here. I feel like I have 90 year old knees and i'm way uncomfortable all the time now. I can't wait to see my girls, but I want them to bake in the oven as long as I possibly can so they can come out healthy and strong.

yeh they said ive got no choice because they are identical. they could develop ttts during labour apparently. im wondering though, some ppl dont know if thier twins are identical or not so do they automatically have to have a section? i am so gutted im not gonna be having them naturally, in fact im really pissed off about it coz i was told by midwife i could have them naturally as long as one was head down.

itsmelou1984 · May 6th, 2009, 16:02 PM

well they cant ell for sure what mine are, but they've never said i have to have a section, unless twin1 was breech... but i guess they say allsorts to each individual. i dnt fancyhving a section, but if i have to i guess i gotta

how are u keeping?? when u finishing work and stuffs?? x

FsMummy · May 7th, 2009, 08:30 AM

my last day of work is 16th may, woohoo! yeh i think its probably gonna be different in different hospitals. im keeping ok, starting to get quite uncomfortable but i can handle it as long as they stay put for at least another 10 weeks lol had my glucose tolerance test today so will get the results of that in a couple of days (well she sed they will contact me in a couple of days if anything is wrong). trying to rest up a bit more these days. its difficult with a 2 year old running around and wanting to play but shes good as gold most days and even helps me with the washing lol will you have thier dna tested after they are born to find out if they are identical or arent u fussd either way? (i think they can tell u that way, i saw it on home and health lol)

itsmelou1984 · May 7th, 2009, 13:11 PM

haha ive heard lots about home and health and im kinda wishing i had it!! i honestly think they're not identical... sounds daft but i can tell from the scan pics that 1 of them had OH's shape head, and the others head is just like my DD...so thats just my guessing!! they'll probs look the same at birth anyhow until they begin to get their 'marks and features' so ill hopefully be able to guess if they are or not, as im not sure how long a DNA test would take...id have to ask about it!! aww its fab finishing work!! i actually had a kip this afternoon for the first time in ages!!! i love it

just bumping this up as i havent written 4 ages! well, since my last post ive developed obstetric cholestasis which is no fun at all. i am constantly itching and have to go to hospital twice a week. i have a scan and blood test every friday and go on the ctg machine for over an hour and on tues i just go on the monitor but always there for a few hours, it sucks. im 34 weeks now so only 2 weeks to go! exactly 2 weeks today actually! i cant wait, having c section on 13th july. woohoo no more heartburn lol how is everyone doing? i still havent thought of any names at all! oh yeah they said at the hospital if my blood tests come back worse then i will be having them early! yikes

I was just reading over these posts. Fsmommy, a friend of mine had identicals in the same sac and had ttts and still delivered vaginally. Both were healthy! So, not sure about the mandatory c section thing.
