After the birth of our beautiful twins on 16th May 2018 we knew straight away we wanted another but we were scared of having another set of twins.

Our daughters were a complete surprise. There are no twins in either of our families. As the midwife said during the 12 week scan - it has to start somewhere!

Just after Christmas we knew we were getting closer to wanting to try for our third so decided to take it easy. No tracking, no testing and no contraception. If it happened, it happened. We weren’t expecting much. I had been told when I was younger I would struggle to conceive. It only took us 3 months with the twins but we always joked how we must be the luckiest people in the world.

In February I had all the symptoms but no positive. In March I felt a little off with lots of cramping and a very light positive! But sadly we lost it two days later.

In April we were advised to take a month off trying to help with dating but apparently it was just meant to be! On the 24th April 2020 we got our positive test! I had zero symptoms and only realised something was up when I realised I was 2 days late! I’ve never managed to get past the day of a missed period before testing but honestly it just goes to show what happens when you take a break from the apps and live during a pandemic!

I’m worried and scared with every little niggle but we’re getting there. Now just to panic if it’s another set of twins for the next 7 weeks haha.

Baby number 3 due 31st December 2020!

Ps. Fun fact. We found out we were pregnant with the twins on our official 7 year anniversary and found out about this pregnancy 10 years to the day that we met! 💖
