Morning Ladies!!!

How is every one doing? I hope that the CT ladies have not frozen and that every one had a great weekend.

Here not much news. only having morning sickness ever second morning now so it is starting to get better.
We have had such a rollercoaster with Doctors, we did the fertility monitoring with a Gyni here in Namibia but he is extremely expensive and just plain out rude with no bed side manner. So from the start we said that if the IVF works we will not go back to him. Then we through it was a singleton pregnancy so we stayed with our GP until 12 weeks then we found out that it is twins and that we need to move to a specialist as the GPs don't do twin pregnancy. Now I live in Namibia and out options are VERY VERY limited on specialist and most of them either say they don't do twins or are not willing to take new patience so since week 12 we have been in limbo. We finally found a gyni that does twins but had to wait until 11 Sep to see her even though I am high risk. so we have been waiting and in the mean time I have no doctor which just freaked me out. Now we heard that they gyni we wanted to go to refuses to work after hours or weekend and is not available over December which is my most critical time. If something happens in these times you need to see the gyni on call at the hospital. That means that its a doctor that you have never seen and has no idea about your case. our time is running out as I am already 16 weeks we needed to find a stable doctor that we can see. Hopefully the wait is at an end. This morning I found a doctor that is highly recommended and with a little pleading ( close to tears with his secretary begging her to make a plan ) she agreed to squeeze me in on Thursday morning. So I really hope that this is the last and final and I don't need to move again. So only 3 more sleeps then hopefully I know the gender of my babies.

sorry for the long ranting post

Oh by the way our next scan will be on the 11sy of September then I will be 16 weeks and 5 days

Hi Almal

Izzels, shoe dit moes ontrent n verassing gewees het maar klink jy is heel opgewonde oor dit n suentjie gaan wees. Ek is bly daar voor.
Jammer om te hoor oor die pein. Jong ek sou elkgeval maar die gyne bel net om seker te maak.
Ja jong nog elke oggend maar dit help nie veel met die gewig nie wand dit is net maag suur in die oggend dit is aaklig maar nou ja...
Al and all het ek nou al so 4kg opgetel wat vir n tweeling heel inline is ek moet by 20 weke 10kg opgetell het om die kanse vir Low birth weight to reduce ( dit is net applicable op multiple swanger skappe ) maar oor ek bietjie oorgewig begin het met die swanger skap will ek kyk om dit bietjie onder dit te hou.

Happyness, shoe ek moes nou giggle oor die moontlikeid dat jou ne ook verander en jou baba kamer is al klaar hehehe ek is seker alles sal fine wees.

Other wise I have no further news, literally getting bigger by the day I will load a pic soon when I remember to take one. The scary thing is I read that between week 15 - 20 the baby will DOUBLE in size so Izzels if yours is 10 now by the end of 20 weeks he will be +- 20cm
It freaks me out a little as I am not very tall so I keep on thinking where the hell will these babies fit in and then in turn that worries me that once there is no more space these babies will come like at 29 weeks or something I have to be honest this is something that I am obsessing about a little and something that really worries me especially as with EVERY sonar we have had the babies measure a week larger than their gestational age. Their Dad is a tall big guy so I am very worried that they run out of growing space.
Sorry for the ramble but need to vent my freak out a little......

More dames,

Izzels - Jou boodskap het my nou so effens bekommerd. O griet, ek wil nie hê my dogtertjie moet in 'n seuntjie verander nie. Sonograaf en gynea het albei gesê hul sal hul kop op 'n blok sit deur te sê dis 'n dogtertjie (Hoop regtig hul is reg). By die scans kon ek en my man nie duidelik 'n geslag uitmaak nie maar die dokters weet mos waarvoor om te kyk (Holding thumbs).

Ons babakamer is al amper klaar met pienk beddegoed en klomp pienk kleertjies En ekt nou 'n boom laat maak met pienk voeltjies vir die muur... maar ja ek glo ook die moeder instink is reg en dit voel vir my defnitief soos 'n dogetrtjie

Verder gaan dit goed hier. Kan net steeds nie ophou eet nie. Het alreeds 5kg opgetel Al die gewig is in die maag want my broeke pas nog maar my tops is almal te klein. Hul sê mos so +-15kg is normaal om op te tel tydens jou swangerskap so ek sal moet begin briek aandraai want dis nog 'n hele entjie om te gan

My volgende scan is die detail scan op 11 Oktober (nog vrek lank!!)

Lekker dagi vir julle verder

oh ja - baba is 10cm (crown to rump) en weeg 155g. CUTE!

Hopeful, ek kan nie glo jy gooi nog op elke oggend nie!! JInne vrou, ek dink aan jou, dit moet verskriklik wees!! Ten minste tel jy seker geen gewig op nie.. haha!

Hi almal!

Was gister by my gynae vir my 16 weke sonar en groot surprise!! My dgtertjie het iets gegroei tussen haar bene!!! HAHA! Gynae se hy is 98% seker dit is 'n seuntjie, maar nou wag ons maar tot op 20 weke om terug te gaan na fetal assessment vir die groot detailed scan vir hulle om dit te bevestig. Ons het 'n baie baie duidelike foto gekry van onder af tussen die beentjies, want liefste baba le heeltyd lekker oop beentjies. Daar is dit baie duidelik daar is 'n klein skilpadjie tussen die bene. Of dis 'n seuntjie of eks bekommerd oor my dogter groot clitoris!! haha
My ma het Sondag van Dubai af teruggekom en vir my reeds die heel mooiste goedjies gebring.. alles in sagte pienk en def dogtertjie klere. aaai toggie! wys mens net mens moet maar nie koop aan die beginvoordat mens nie oor die 20 wk merk is nie.. Maar ek is BAIE opgewonde met die gedagte dit dit dalk 'n seuntjie kan wees. My moederinstink was dalk toe reg! My gynae het ook gese, 80% kans dat die ma se intuisie reg is!


Ek voel geheel en al goed, geen skete, naarheid, cravings ens nie. maar gister na de sonar, seker so 2 ure later klim ek uit my kar om lunch te gaan koop en ek voel net so 'n pyn tussen my bene. So op my pubis been. ek moes toe hardloop want dit het erg gereen. Sjoe dit was so seer ek kon glad nie hardloop nie, self as ek loop voel ek dit. Ekt gister middag net gele en rustig gewees en gisteraand toe ek slap voel ek dit elke keer as ek omdraai. Dit voel amper asof iets baie swaar druk op jou pubic bone. Ek het vanoggend dit gegoogle want jou nie onnodig y gynae bel nie, en sien toe daar is baie geskryf oor die spesifieke ding. PSD (Pubis symphasis dysfunction)
Hul se dit kom voor in 2de trimester en baie vroue het dit nogal erg. Ek hoop myne is iets anders en gaan baie vining weg!! Dit is nog nie so erg nie, maar ek voel dit met elke tree wat ek gee. Aijaijai!!

Genoeg van my problem - wanneer is die volgende scans??

Im feeling fine thanks. feel a little sick in the morning on the ride up to work but other than that not much new aside from the weight gain. that scale keeps moving - lol. also find im a little more aggressive than normal - had a fight on the weekend in checkers from a lady pushing in the que. usually i just leave them and dont say anything. i think was her arrogance when she answered me back that set me off.

cant wait to find out the gender though.
