Hi Ladies,
I had my 28 week scan today, and everything look fine. I found out that they weigh 3lbs 1oz and 3lbs 2oz already, so no worries about having small babies. Unfortunately they are both still feet first breech, but maybe they might turn?
I don't know how much longer my body is willing to put up with this extra strain, I'm aching from head to toe. I am quite happy to have them now, but I know they need to bake a while longer.
I can't wait till I finish work and can try to get some rest during the day.
I have recently started getting m/s again! Outrageous I say.
Well that's about all for me. I can't wait for the arrival of all our mulitples that are due soon.
Thanks multiple mums for all your wisdome and advice.
Take care of yourselves and your precious bundles.

Hi Mel!

Its great to "hear" from you! its been a while I must say......I am glad to hear that you are baking two very healthy and happy boys in there!
I am in the same position - only further along and there is only a 1% chance that our will turn, but I never say never.....I am going to have a C-Section and have now come to terms with that (i think LOL).

Your babies are a great size and that is around what you want them to be - ours were very similar weight at that time too! I was starting to get worried LOL. Our babies are hard to measure at the moment due to their positions but we are looking at 5-5.5 pound for them each.

I finished work at 32 weeks and it has been the most relaxing time of the whole pregnancy - enjoy it...I sleep at the drop of a hat, when my body tells me I need to. Suffering from severe oedema (swelling) I am not moving too far anyway.

You are doing a great job, keep up the spirts and I would guess that you are suffering more refulx than M/S, try to eat smaller portions more regularly each day. It helped me, even though I didnt vomit, i came way too close....

If you need anything feel free to PM me! I am on countdown now and am estatic about meeting our babies!
Take care - Bree (34+3 and counting!!)

So glad to hear you are growing such nice healthy bubbas!!! Good on you for doing such a wonderful job!!!

If it helps any I puked right up until the day my girls were born (at 29 weeks) and I think it changed from nring morning sickness to being more like just not having any space to put food... one kick or head butt to my stomach and out everything came. So maybe that is what you are dealing with. It helped me to eat small and often. I drank lots of milk shakes and smoothies towards the end as they stayed in better!

hugs and remember to rest up, look after yourself and congratulate yourself on doing such a wonderful job!
