Someone remind me how twins and family history works again. It's material for natural twins correct?

Maternal Genes for fraternal (gene predisposes woman to ovulating 2 eggs)
Mostly random splitting of the embryo for identical

[mrspiatt]

Also if you are breastfeeding it increases your chances of twins

No mulptiles in our family. Anyone know if the claim about increased fertility post loss is legit? My 8dpo bfp and super high betas make me so curious!

Big hugs @snuff9861.

izz67, pregnancy months are measured at very fourth week, not true months. So it's likely accurate. Weeks 1-4 is month one, 5-8 is month two, 9-12 is month three, so on and so on. That's why people generally go by weeks instead of months, because the math is stupid and doesn't compute.

Thanks, after I posted I realized at 9 weeks I am in the 3rd month. I just couldn't believe how much farther along 3 months sounds compared to 9 weeks lol.

[izz67]

I'm sorry @snuff9861, I hope it stops soon.

Hugs @snuff9861
I hope it's nothing and stops soon.

I'm hoping y'all could help me with something, how to tell someone who has a previous loss and is still trying to get ku that I'm pregnant. Me and 2 other girls are pretty close at work. 1 is pregnant with her 3rd in 3 years and the other is the one currently battling infertility. I don't know how to tell her and I feel like I should soon. I don't want her to hear from someone else and I also don't want to hurt her feelings. I was thinking of texting her about it so that she wouldn't have to put on a happy face with me when I told her and it would give her time to feel how ever she needs to feel. But idk. Hoping y'all could help me out

Definitely text or email her so she has time to process the emotions alone. Be prepared for her to be a bit detached about your pregnancy. While I was always happy for friends and co workers that got pregnant I was still sad for myself.

I should note I dont think it is twins! She just couldn't rule it out at my first appt.

I doubt I'm having twins, but given my early bro and high betas I'm just so curious

[peggels24]

southernbelle definitely text or email. I sent a message to each person I knew had been struggling and told them that I wanted to respect their feelings and didn't want to surprise them and told them that I would be announcing that I was pregnant soon. I also told them that I understood if they wanted me to try to avoid the topic when they were around. All 4 were happy for me and appreciated the email

I'm in the same spot with a friend. They started trying the month we found out we were pregnant with DD. I'm on my third pregnancy now and they have yet to get pregnant and are in the throes of fertility treatments.

I'm planning to text her in the next day or two. It just feels hard so I've been putting it off. But I know I need to tell her since we plan to announce next week if our ultrasound goes well.

Ditto this.

Just had a subway. It was heaven.

And my DS was a late walker, started walking properly about 6 weeks ago, and he's 23 months this month. Omg 2 next month 😭

He's finally starting to walk in public. Like he only used to walk at home and my parents house, where he felt confident. Now he's walking all time... we are having trouble getting him to follow us lol. He refuses to hold hands, he's still using his hands to balance while he walks (imagine a drunk T-Rex) and we do have some reigns to use but again I think he'll just sit down and refuse to move. He's so head strong.

I did the typical "bye then" and carried on walking and he just hugged a lamp post and cried. I think this is mainly down to him being tired lol

[cnf2013]

Is anyone else shedding like crazy?

[grumpycat88]

beefinch my DS is 2 (27 months ... I think lol) and he just started holding hands regularly. We make it clear that if he wants to walk, he has to hold hands with us. Otherwise, he's not walking!

My day is off to a great start. DS locked my car yesterday afternoon with DH's set of keys. My keys, wallet, and work stuff were all in my car. My car is still locked and DH is at work. His early meeting got cancelled so he's coming back to unlock it for me. Ridiculous. Thankfully I don't have any early meetings for work.

yes. 
But I am still in the midst of PP hair loss from DD, so I dont expect it to let up any time soon.

buttercup

Could also be a busted capillary. As everything down there gets increased blood flow, sometimes capillaries near the surface bleed. The nice thing is they heal super quick.

No blood at all this morning. So I hope it continues that way.

[cnf2013]

A turkey sandwich for breakfast is normal, right?

I'm full of questions today.

Did you have a girl?

With DS, I had beautiful skin, nails and hair.
With DD, Not any of that.

They say girls steal your beauty when pregnant.

[theloveparade]

peggels24 I'll join you on team bad hair. What happened to beautiful and luxurious pregnancy hair?!?

cnf2013 I take an expansive view of breakfast. Why limit yourself to traditional breakfast food?

@snuff9861 fx for no more bleeding to worry about!

grumpycat88 that's so annoying! Good thing your husband was able to come and let you into the car. My DH works close to home so he's always on call to run home and deal with emergencies or other house related issues. My office is way too far away for that to be my job! 😉

[laurensc927]

FX it's nothing buttercup .

Yay good to hear @snuff9861!

[Deleted]

I shed to the point of having serious concerns I would be bald on my wedding day with DS. I just started shedding, so hopefully it doesn't get to that point this time.

[Deleted]

I had amazing sex last night and of course some spotting this morning. My body needs to get it together. I refuse to be afraid of sex for the next 7ish months.

I was worried about high betas as well post loss and multiples. My beta at 14 dpo was 422 and a two days later it was 11,858... we found out yesterday there was only one strong little bean.

I attribute my nice nails to prenatal vitamins lol.

I just found something that tastes good, smells good, and provides protein. Still not "healthy" per say, but better than French fries. Lol. There is a God.
