Due August 2018

Hey ladies, so I'm doing a little dance because today is 5 weeks!! Yay!! It feels like progress and escape from the 4 week range ?

Have you ladies started experiencing any morning sickness yet?? I haven't... kind of wish I would so that its another reminder but also grateful I haven't!

@Rees - I'm really sorry you are having to go through this added anxiety. I hope hubby comes around and supports you. Carien is right, it's not like you made this happen. You can't decide it's going to be twins.

@Carien - so pleased your bloods are going up nicely:) with my first pregnancy we didn't want to find out and I doubt we will want to find out now either. After this very long and hard journey we want at least one element of surprise and something science hasn't messed with. My gut feel is saying a girl though! So let's see.....

I know. He kinda makes me feel like this is my fault and he is saying that he doesn't know why God is doing this to him when he has so much stress already. I don't know how to comfort him when he is pushing me away. He also said that he doesn't want me to tell anyone that we are pregnant let alone having twins. Like its something to be ashamed of!! My heart is broken. This is suppose to be the best times for me...

I'm sorry ladies for the post.

Thank you for the info Carien. So glad you got your early xmas gift already. Sounds like a good buy!
I am definitely finding out the gender now! I just really pray very hard that there is at least 1 boy! Think hubby will then be okay. He said that he wont cope with another 2 girls. So I am also praying very hard for a boy.

I am sure you will get your girl Carien. Just keep the faith.

Aaahhh, hun, sorry he is being a bit of a boy. He will come along, he might need a swift kick up his butt if he is still like this in a couple of days, it does after all take 2 to tango!! And this is not something you can handle by yourself, and it is what it is, not like you can say, well actually we only ordered one...

Must also check gumtree and OLX, great deals on there. I have already bought myself a from me to me for xmas, I have ALWAYS wanted a KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer but they are damn expensive, but found a used one yesterday that is in like new state for less than half the price!! SOOOO excited, and its green as well!! My fav colour.

Speaking of green, you ladies going to find out what you are having? I cant do team green, I just dont have it in me. We are praying so hard that this baby is a girl too, so i need to prepare myself if it is a boy, i will love him as much as I love my older two, it just takes a bit of time to get used to the idea and "burry" the idea of a girl. Pray for me please, and send me your pink dust!!

Thank you Carien. I am so happy your levels have gone up so much! Everything will be fine now! So happy for you.
Thank you for the website. I have already clicked on the link and going to have a look. I also agree with the used things. We didn't even buy new things for our first child so I will definitely be looking at the site. I unfortunately don't have a facebook account but I'm sure I will find other sites that sell used items.

I tried to contact hubby and send a message or two but he is ignoring me. Hurts a little. But I will give him some time.

WHOOO-HOOOOO!!! Reese, that is SOOOO super exciting!! My cousin just had twins in May. She is one of a twin so there was always a chance but they are identical so there is nothing genetic about that. She said her twin pregnancy was soooo much easier than her singleton pregnancy. SOOO SOOOO happy for you, you will be just fine, agree with Chanti - 1. Get away from that doc! and 2. God only gives us what he knows we can manage! Guy from my work who also has twins told me about this site that they got a lot of support from: www.samultiplebirth.co.za/wmenu.php and there is a FB group also. You can buy PLENTY of used things there. I really do swear by used things for the bigger things especially. Bought my crib with a compactum and a book case for R2800 and it was literally brand new. Same for my stroller, and I saved SOOOO much.

This is so super exciting ladies, I am sooo happy for all of us. Oh and AFM, went for the 2nd quantitative test yesterday, doc just sent the results and they more than doubled (monday 138, yesterday 481) so we are relieved and excited. Will book my first scan. I am a bit older than you ladies so we do fetal assessment as well, that will be just after 12 weeks so will find out then what we are having. We are praying for a little girl. I think my oldest son will be devastated if its a boy so we will need to prepare him if we are having a boy. Anyway, not going to worry about that now, just going to enjoy not feeling like crap! That will most likely still come

Thought for the day attached

@Reese - I'm glad you are going to contact your previous gynae. These doctors honestly make me furious when they try and breath fear into us for no reason. I totally value and respect their expertise but not when they try and scare us for something that hasn't even happened.
