Twin update – 14 Dec

The twins are both going well.  I am feeling lots of kicks now and they are starting to have an effect on my bladder.  Fun fun fun. 

We had our check up appointment with the obstetrician the Wednesday before last.  This was for a blood pressure check after mine was up a bit the other week up at the antenatal clinic.  It was up a little still but he wasn’t overly concerned.  I go back for another scan and then another clinic appointment on Wednesday 19 Dec.  It will be good see the little boys again and see them moving around.  It will also be an opportunity to ask the doctor a few more questions. 

Another thing that has increased lately, is that my feet are mega swollen.  It is apparently a natural part of preganancy but I think mine are a bit more swollen than they should be so I will be asking about that. 

Funny story for the pregnancy – it was a little warm on Monday (35 degrees) and so Dale and I hopped in the inflatable pool when we got home.  It was lovely to hop in although a little cool.  I managed to kneel down in the water but I went to sit down but cos rts of my body have gotten so sensitive I couldn’t.  I could only get the water level to just below them and no further. 

I have also bought some maternity swimmers on ebay so am looking forward to trying to get back into the pool at work and do some actual swimming. 

That’s it for now.  Will catch you all up again after our appointment next week.
