Hi George14 welcome to the group and congratulations!
Great to hear the twins are doing well Melanie 1982 and you are feeling more relaxed, although I can imagine you feeling a little apprehensive about the birth! if its any consolation, I have two friends who had twins and they both said it wasn't anywhere near as painful as they expected, so fingers crossed!
As far as I know, maternity sickness doesn't affect your maternity pay, but when you get to a certain number of weeks they can force you to begin maternity leave if you're off sick. I think it's 30-something weeks though, and each job might be different, so it's worth checking out.
Hi there, I'm due on 24th May! This is my second, movements are very sporadic though - flurries of activity then nothing for hours and hours! My midwife said this is because I have an anterior placenta - anyone else experiencing this?
Other than that I'm feeling pretty good, hope everyone else doing well?
Hi I am new to this! I am due 14th may 2015. I already have a 2 year old boy. He us always talking about baby inside mummy's tummy called car car! Think we will have tears when we say we can't call him/her car car! I am finding this I pregnancy a lot grader as I can't rest, like before which makes me grumpy! My poor family! Only 3 wks to go hopefully! Xxx

Hi Magic and welcome to MadeForMums! Wow, you must be so excited to meet your new baby!
So, maybe if you have a girl, you could call her Carrie - still sounds a little like Car!
