Hi All

So I just got a positive test, I’m almost 4 weeks and this will be my second child. But I’ve been feeling… off I guess. I don’t know why or what but I keep feeling like there’s a chance I’m having 2… what were your experiences when you found out you’re pregnant? Anything different? It sounds crazy I know but I can’t shake this feeling off plus I just feel like crappy and sick and it’s so early. Idk. Could be in my head.

I was SO sick from the second week. Couldn’t even look at alcohol. My boobs hurt so incredibly bad. I had three vivid dreams about twins and just had a gut feeling that it was! I also tested positive quickly like 9 days DPO which was shocking

oh boy. Tested positive at 10dpo and I feel sick. Like very sick. I didn’t feel like this with my son. And my boobs are tender. I’ve had this gut feeling it’s twins. I’m FREAKING out 😭

Sending positivity your way mama!!!!!

how did you process the news? I'm struggling with the shock.

I am definitely still processing! I think shifting from an “oh my gosh what am I going to do” mindset to a, “Oh my gosh I’m so lucky” mindset has really helped me. I still wake up in the middle of the night processing 🤣 and I have been so incredibly sick. It’s been kind of hard to really think about a whole lot other than just surviving. But I know you’ve got this! Reach out if you need me.

thankfully I haven't had any sickness 🙏 I was awake last night just thinking things over. My body already feels heavy and tired 😪

how far along are you?

when did you find out it was twins? How far along were you? I have my first appointment with my OB 3/7.

found out at our 8 week appointment!

15 weeks

first scan at 13 weeks

any updates?!

how are you doing?

definitely coming to terms with the news. We have had a bit of a clear out in preparation.

thinking of you ♥️

thanks. I'm hoping I can find some other mums locally. I have found a few groups specifically for multiples.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Eid celebrations?

Is it normal to celebrate Eid by drinking alcohol and partying non stop … doesn’t that just go against the whole month of Ramadan im so confused

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?
