Do doctors worry you?
Hi ladies,
I have recently saw a GP & today my consultant. They keep worrying me about risks with multiplies. In fact today consultant asked if I would bother thinking of baby names before the event..as my pregnancy is high risk! I am a bit disheartend but keep trying to think doctors have a habit of speaking then thinking.
Do any of you have any similar stories to tell?

Id already had a m/c at 16 weeks and pretty much accepted that they two would end in m/c. I didnt buy anything until after 24 weeks and then it was only basics, didnt prepare the nursery or buy cots, just had moses baskets and sent dh to get everything when they were born. and this was only with two!
so yes i understand that they want to prepare us but equally there are lots of happy endings, think of the amercan women that had 8 and all ok, or the irish women who had sextuplets and the walton girls.
anyway how are you coping how far are you now and are you showing??

Thanks for your reply. It helps to know what others have been told. I was feeling very sorry for myself today when I got home.
but the worst is when family members take this attitude!!!!
my mother in law, father in law, and brother in law, ruined my pregnant christmas by discussing the non survival of my twins at the dinner table.
don't think about the negatives...
i've got my twins now - and they are lovely.
i had a staight forward c section at 38 weeks and now have 1 year olds who harrass their big sister and drive us all mad!
in a positive way of course!!!!
I will stay positive.....infact have decided since Monday will just be very blunt with all doctors from here on in & explain they need to encourage not discourage!!
Thanks x
