Midwife and Doctors...
First Midwife and Doctors appointment was on Thursday 15th March. I was soo nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. Khyam was able to come with me which was great. When I get nervous… I seem to have a lot of trouble making sense and I can never remember anything I’m told. I was also worried about how much weight I might have put on since Christmas… Since becoming pregnant I hadn’t gone to Zumba or Boxing. Now I don’t do much at all – only because I still feel extremely tired and just don’t have the energy. So I was more nervous about the weigh in- almost making myself sick thinking about it. As soon as my name was called by the midwife she got me to step on the scales… I had only put on 1.5k since Christmas!! OMG I was soo happy!! I thought it would have been about 20kgs.
But everything went great – They just asked us a Million questions about everything. I love the question – How often do you drink and smoke now while your pregnant?? Hmmm... We were sent home with a truck full of information!! I have looked at most of it now. Most of it doesn’t really apply to us as we are having twins. Only problem we had on the day was they wanted to do a scan but they never booked me in for one… which meant I had to go back the next day – without Khyam (Yep he missed out again!! *Sadface). In saying that though, I was lucky enough to have my Sister-In-Law, Sonya come along with me.
The scan went extremely well – the Sonographer said that he was very happy with their growth and that Twin A was still smaller then Twin B – by about one week. In the scans Twin A always looks bigger cos it's in a better spot then Twin B. He believes that we conceived them at different times. So we are pretty much having two separate pregnancies at the same time. Meaning that we must of have had sex about 6 days apart…. CRAZY!! We still didn’t find of their sexes but I don’t mind waiting. I’m pretty sure I know what we are having – So you’ll just have to stay tuned to find out!

15 weeks today…
14th March 2012
Our babies will start to make lots of movements this week – even though I/we can’t feel them yet.
Our babies are as big as apples. Babies are about 11cms long and weigh about 70g each.
Hospital visit… I mean Visits!!
I made an appointment to see the Hospital – Midwife and OB at Redcliffe Hospital – Our appointment was on the 15th March 2012. Can’t wait to see the babies again and make sure that they are all ok and that nothing is wrong with them!!
Before that day I didn’t realise at the time but I would be going to the Hospital a lot sooner!
It was 1st March and I was coming home from work and I got this sharp strong pain in my left hand side… almost like period pain but 1000000 times worse. But after about 5-10mins it went away and by the time I got home it was completely gone.. so Khyam and I just hung out all night – not thinking about it again. At about 7.30pm I went shopping. I was about it leave and the pain came back about 50 times stronger. I couldn’t even walk. It took a while but I made my way slowly to the car and drove myself home – stopping 2 times as the pain was soo strong. When I got home I told Khyam we had to go to the Hospital. I wasn’t Bleeding or anything but the pain was still there.
By the time we got to the hospital I had a mind grain and it was very hard for me to see. I was seen to straight away. And taken to a bed then I got changed into a gown and was given a drip in my arm. It really hurt.
They took heaps of Blood to test and I was given pain killers to try to dull the pain. Khyam still wasn’t allowed in at this point and I was pretty scared as I have NEVER been to hospital. After the tests came back with the all clear, the doctor came and asked me a million questions! And she poked around, I was still in a lot of PAIN!!
She wanted to make sure the babies were ok also and I was lucky enough to have another look at them. This time they were both facing each other and they were kicking each other’s feet… I soo wish that I got a photo but my phone was in my bag L After finding out they looked ok I was moved into another room where Khyam was able to come and be with me. I had to wait until about 2am when I was allowed to go home. They believe that I had an infection and I was put on Medication.
But that’s NOT all…..
On the 5th March (4 days after) I fell… Yep that’s right I fell down about 5-6 steps at Lunch time and OMG it hurt. I was soo angry at myself for falling. I did fall on my bum so I didn’t think anything much about it. Until I went to my Mum’s that afternoon. I told her what happened and she informed me that I should have gone straight to the hospital. I couldn’t stop crying. So once again Khyam took me up to the Hospital. I was seen to straight away.. again and they just gave me pain killers which helped a lot but I was more worried about the Babies then me. We waiting awhile and I was taken to another room where Khyam joined me, in that time Mum and Dad also came up as they were very worried about me. Khyam and I were waiting to see the babies; we waited about 1 hour or so. In that time Mum and Dad came to say goodbye just as the Doctor brought in the machine to see the babies. So Khyam, Mum and Dad all got to see the babies. They looked good, all there and with beating hearts. I was soo relieved.
So we were able to leave again. This time not as late but it was still a pain!!
12 week scan
12 week NT scan was on the 24th February. Khyam met me there as he wasn’t going to miss this one. The scan felt a bit rushed as the lady wasn’t the nicest person we have met. But we got to see our babies so that’s all we care about. At the end of the scan she did say that one of the babies was smaller or bigger than the other. And she said for us to go to the doctors ASAP just to have a check-up. That made me worry. I didn’t want to lose one baby or both babies. Khyam was very cool calm and collected like he always is. But he was very happy to see the babies together. That night was Khyam’s Dad’s birthday so we told the whole family then.
Then it was time to put it on Face Book!! I was soo glad to be able to say something. So our news of having Twins went Global.
