Hi ladies! Ahh Starry congratulations on your up coming wedding Ahh your scan pic is so cute! Is that your 20w one?

How is everyone?

Finally found a house and moving in 2 weeks yipee! Can't wait to settle and have all that time to sort the house out...my mat leave starts in 2 weeks too. I've had a couple of issues, cramping last weekend which led me being admitted for observations and I was given steriods for baby's lungs as they thought he may be on his way after monitoring me...so frightening but it turned out to be just normal cramping and braxton hicks probably from growth! Phew. And then this week my fundal measurement is the same as 2 weeks ago...but mw put it down to baby lying longways and so this tends to take cm's off..it seems it's an inaccurate measuring method but either way its made me worry so rather than just wait another 2 weeks to be remeasured ill ask this week to be measured and have a growth scan if still 25cm. Hate worrying!

Hey ladies, how is everyone? Manny-you're about to pop now huh?! How exciting! How are you feeling..got everything ready? Been doing anything to bring labour on? And mrs you're not far behind

Any updates on what the drs are doing for you Bazz? If this is all since your mc and your cycles were fine before-even in length if you didn't know about ovulation-it just seems they need to be doing more? It's frustrating and hard enough ttc and wanting a baby let alone when your body is acting differently to what your used to? How's hubby? X

Ps re my post 2 weeks ago bubs is measuring fine-just such subjective measurements plus his lying position can affect it. All is good with him, bought him some more bits yesterday-playmat, swinging bouncer and cot mobile. Nearly done now

Hi ladies. Sorry for being so quiet. A1983 only 9 weeks to go for you. Bet you're getting excited now. Glad growth is going well.

Bazz hope the cycle is ok. Really hope they are sorting you out.

Mrs and starry, how are you both?

Fms - being induced on Tuesday - only two more sleeps! Can't wait to meet this little one. My amniotic fluid is low so doctor is keen to get baby out. I will keep you all posted. Xx

 

[A1983]

[bazzb]

I'm having another never ending cycle so back to dr wed

 

[starry83]

Hi All!

Wow manny sooo exciting, good luck for tomorrow. Cannot wait to hear all about it and hopefully see some pics!!!

1983, glad that all is well with your lo and that the growth is fine... your on the final stretch now! Won't be long until you can have cuddles!

Bazz, sorry to hear about your long cycle again. The docs definitely need to investigate further, they can be so frustrating at times.

Hope everyone else is doing well?

Afm, I am nearly 28 weeks now, where has the time gone... so glad to be in third tri Off to Cyprus on weds to become a wife. Wish me luck!!! eeeeeeek. Although I am sick of complete strangers asking me and members of my family why we didn't wait! How rude... I feel like screaming in their faces 'because I had 2 miscarriages and a baby was more important to us than me having a bump in my wedding dress!' Its like they think we have ruined our big day or something. Anyway, sorry rant over... I am sure you guys understand...

Congrats Starry. Wishing you a lovely wedding day and a very relaxing break in cyprus. My SIL got married when she was 6 months preggers. I really dont see what the big deal is. Enjoy every minute of it.

Bazz - dam that cycle. You must be getting so frustrated. I'm no expert but I really think you need to go on BCP for a few weeks to see if you can kick start your cycle. Thats what my friend here did when she had a 3 month long cycle after her mc and it seemed to reset the clock. Hope you get some answers soon.

xx

Hey ladies

Many cant wait to see a pix


AfmSo there is no explanation as to why no ovulation and periods
So now I am being sent to a gynaecologist and my dr said they will prob give me clomid or femera to help me ovulate

In the mean time i can take my prometrium to give me a period while I wait

 

[A1983]

That's good Bazz-im glad they are finally doing something productive. I hope you don't have to wait too long to see gyne xx

Hi Ladies – sorry it has taken me a while but this little man is taking up all of my time. He is sooo sweet and I so don't mind getting up every two hours to feed him. He isn't much of a sleeper and all he seems to ever want is boob. Apparently this is common for little babies as he is trying to catch up on his birth weight. We went the the midwife on Tuesday and he is back up to 2.6kgs after dropping to under 2.5 so at least he is growing. He was also holding his head up all by himself and she said she had never seen a one week old do this. I think it may have something to do with the steroids shots we got at 26 and 30 weeks.

So the birth – it was pretty intense but could have been so much worse. We went in at 7am and the doctor did a sweep. We then went up to labour and delivery where we got settled in and at about 9am we had the first suppository to start labour. At first it was just like period pains but then at about 10:00, he started the drip going and gave me a second suppository. He then broke my waters which is when all the fun started. His head was already so low so he always predicted it would be a quick labor. Contractions started really quickly and we're running from one straight into the next. It was very intense pain and by 11am I was begging for an epidural. The anesthetist had decided that it was a good time to go for a run (?!?!) so I had to wait 45 minutes for the epidural. I eventually got it just before midday and for a while I could relax and enjoy the experience. Unfortunately the epidural didn't completely numb the whole area and I had a section on my right hand side that felt everything. It was painful but also quite a good thing because I could feel when the contractions were coming and could tell when to start pushing. At about 13h30 we started pushing and the little man was in my arms at 13h55. I tore a little and needed a couple of stitches and he also had to use forceps right at the end but it really wasn't the horrific experience I was anticipating. The healing has been good. I'm trying to have as many salt baths as I can to help the tear heal and already I feel back to normal.

Here are a couple of pics. He is a real little poser. The cheesy pic is the one they take in the hospital.

I hope everyone is well.

Bazz – glad to hear you are now getting some possible solutions. Hopefully a dose of clomid will sort that system of yours out. I've heard lots of positive stories about BFPs on the first or second round of clomid so fingers crossed!

Mrs – it can't be long for you now. Let us know whats happening and how you're getting on.

Angel – loving the new profile pic!

And A1983 – not long for you now either. Have you got your bags packed and everything organized? How are you doing after your scare a little while ago?

 

[bazzb]

Oh manny he is the sweetest!!!!
Congrats again you must be so in love
Glad labour wasn't too horrific you sound like a real champ
Take care if yourself and the little guy xox

 

[xoxo4angel]

What a doll Joshua is! My sister had an area that didn't take to the epidural, the Dr called it a "hot spot." I'm so glad you are on the mend and your DS is strong...already holding his head up, amazing!! xoxo

Bazz ~ When do you start the Clomid?

Mrs, 1983, Starry :wave:

 

[bazzb]

Love your pic angel
No idea when or f ill start for sure
Once I see the gyno I will know more
My family dr said they will prob give me clomid though
