Yeehah!

I'm so utterly relieved and delighted that we've got the 20 week anomaly scan out of the way.  Because of my previous history of miscarriages, my age, and the fact that we are expecting identical (Modi) twins which come with more risk, I never completely allowed myself to relax and enjoy the pregnancy.  I think its more a case of self-protection should anything go wrong. Up to this point we had only told family and close friends that we were expecting. 

We were with the Sonographer for 1.5 hours!  Can you believe that?  And he took such care checking every single part of their bodies - checking that everything looked present and correct. From the tiniest membrane that separates the two, to the position of the placenta and ensuring that the blood flow looked even and correct, to the heart.  I found the heart absolutely fascinating. At a mere touch of a button, the Sonographer can see what is venous blood flow and what is arterial!  

As well as physic...

I may be an aromatherapist but I'm still female and have the same pregnancy niggles as the next pregnant woman! Twins takes things to a new level. I thought I'd write a blog detailing highs and lows and how I coped best with the symptoms to help others. So keep your eyes peeled for more posts from me!
