*Sensitive* 8 week scan update❤❤

Hi lovely ladies, it's been a while since I posted here only because I wanted to give the news some time to sink in and didn't want to be insensitive to anyone by frequently posting random updates.

We're having twins and I'm ecstatic, worried and every emotion in between. I feel like I won't be able to relax till they're at least 12 weeks. Everyday I check anxiously for blood especially if I'm feeling stickier down there (sorry if TMI). I haven't even said anything to my family yet. The worry with infertility never leaves you I guess.

Twins are doing great, measured 8wks and 3 days at the 8 week scan so my doctors are happy. Hoping to update you all as things progress. The nausea and fatigue has been kicking my butt but also reassures me that stuff is happening in there.

This has been a place of such support and sisterhood and I felt remiss not sharing. Stay safe and stay strong everyone 😘

Hey congratulations!! Welcome to the twin club.🤗 Hopefully the sickness settles down, I didnt have that but the tiredness was pretty bad....it does get better though. My babies were a few days out between too and still are but I'm 29wks now. All the best with the rest of your pregnancy.xx

Honestly it’s been awful as I have Hyperemesis Gravidarum. However, the babies are fine. It’s just the mother who is struggling 😫

I just read through your last post and I agree 100%, morning sickness is really a myth. Been having the same but nowhere near as bad. Hang in there! Acupuncture, sea bands and ginger sweets have been helpful for me.

Awwww congratulations and welcome to the twin club. That's very exciting news. I too found out I was having twins at 8 weeks. It was a massive shock and I nervous giggled all way through the scan as I couldn't belive it was real. Hubby went white as a ghost lol. It took a few days for it to sink it for sure! I too was super nervous and checking for bleeding or if I had cramps I thought the worst, as I had a miscarriage Sept 2019. So every scan and check up I was so scared! But I promise that feeling passes ❤️I was super tired my 1st trimester and go to bed most nights by 9pm. 😂

Now I am 32 weeks and expecting boy and girl twin in around 5/6 weeks 💃🏽🤰🏾💕💙

You have such an amazing journey ahead. So happy for you xxx
