Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Hi all,

sorry i was absent yesterday!

Maryke- so pleased to hear contractions have stopped! Keep safe and those legs crossed!

Chan- ahhh it's so great listenng to your excitement over the nursery! xxxxxxx

So I went to the gynae yesterday, not for routine app but for 'paranoid mommy' app LOL On tuesday night I had a terrible night, my tummy felt so tender and bruised and crampy. Then the whole of yesterday I had felt no movement from either baby. I tried sitting for an hour then laying on one side still nothing so I turned over for another half an hour and still not even a twinge so I phoned DH and he said rather phone the gynae to be sure. I usually wouldn't be so paranoid but I think having 2 babies and the higher risks just scare the crap out of me. The receptionist said I should rather come in for a check up but Dr is running really behind so I'll have to wait. After running around taking C to SIL I finally sat down at the Gynae and then I got this pressure feeling on one side and I thought, typical now they start to move but I didn't feel anything further in the next 2hrs of waiting. DH was super stressed out and I kept trying to tell him it's fine I just want to check everything is fine but maybe they have both turned inward so I can't feel the movements. Finally I saw Dr at 5.20pm, man I love that guy he really puts my mind at ease even though he rips the pss out of me for my paranoia LOL But he also said rather be safe, I even had him concerned because why the sudden stop in movement when 2w ago they were perfect? So he checked the heartbeats and measured them again, he just shook his head and chuckled at me as he said they are still perfect in growth, no2 is measuring a few days smaller again but that's normal. He spent quite a while giving everything a good check over and making sure there really was nothing to worry about. I love that he was running so very late for his afternoon surgeries but never once made me feel like I must rush out of his room. As much as it was a case of complete paranoia on my part he did say if I feel something isn't right he would rather check and see everything is fine than tell me to chill out. We got a really great view of the babies faces and man tweenie 1 instantly reminded me of C, he's a spitting image of what C looked like on the scans and twin 2 looks very different but as Dr says he must take after his mommy because tweenie 2 is definitely the cutest looking one! I feel a bit silly after yesterday but at least reassured because I still haven't felt them move since and if I hadn't gone I really would've been in a state by now.
