3rd Time Lucky Club

[OmiOmen]

Lol, I think men are just gross.

We have so much to do round the house before Joshua gets here. We get a bit of damp in one or two rooms in winter which is never normally a problem to keep on top of but this year it has gotten so bad so that needs sorting out, we need to de-clutter (I admit a lot of it is things like me having too many clothes I don't need) I want to clean to the point that 99.9% of germs are gone and even though we got new furniture a year ago we now hate it and want new again. Plus, my young cat recently came into heat and the house sticks because she has sprayed things (I am used to dogs) so not only do we have to get her spayed which we did not want to do but need new carpets and curtains asap!

Well, as I have said I have thought I had started to get occasional and mild Braxton hicks the past few days but I can not mistake that I just got one for sure. It was a sharp, tight pain that was really short (felt like less than a second) and I can not think what else it could be. I know Braxton hicks start at 6 weeks and are normally felt from mid pregnancy onwards and are normal but I can't help but worry about early labor, silly I know.

 

[samzi]

they are very normal hun

 

[samzi]

are any of you ladies corrie fans?

 

[OmiOmen]

At least I know I am having them now, I was not sure before as they were so mild but this was just unmistakable. I feel really sorry for women who have not heard of Braxton hicks as it must be so scary to wonder what is going on.

I thankfully no longer have to watch the soaps, after leaving home I though I wouldn't since my Mum was the one that watched them only to find out my DH was a closet soap fan. He no longer forces me to watch them though now, lol.

 

[samzi]

im going to be a corrie fan again as keith duffy returns tonight for 6 months. il watch it just to get a glimse of him

 

[OmiOmen]

The only TV shows I have to watch now are Top Gear and James May's toy stories and to be honest they are not that bad. I am quite glad I don't have to sit through the soaps now, I did not mind Corrie and Eastenders as much as Emmerdale. The only problem is that we have switched from a full Sky package to freeview so now there is never anything on TV, good job I have a pile of books that I felt too rubbish to read the past few months.

 

[beachlover1]

No girls not a corrie fan.....but mainly because DH would NEVER let me watch it anyway. He always has charge of the clicker.....ice road truckers, myth busters, top gear, fifth gear..the list is endless!! ( i actually like Top Gear)

Oh and on the subject of men are pigs, im doing a little experiment. How long can hubby actually step over his dirty pile of clothes in the bathroom. He dumped his tshirt and boxers there 3 days ago....im not moving them for once, I want to see how long they last! The cleaner is under strict instructions not to touch them!! we are not slaves ;-)

MEN!!!! my Dh sounds just like all yours, but yr right, things MUST change before July!! ;-)

no news really from me today, I put on a pair of suit trousers that I havent worn for 3 weeks.......NO WAY was the button gonna do up! there is a 4 inch space! DOH!!! Out came the bump band.....Poshie GET ONE!!! they are awesome for work and a really cosy layer on yr tummy


So, when can we expect the Braxton Hicks to start/ and what do they feel like.....I clueless!!

thats me girls xxx

 

[OmiOmen]

I do like top gear too actually, but I hate it when he puts ice road truckers on!

I have tried to wait and see how long I can go until he tidy's or cleans up after himself, I just get more and more mad everyday when I try because he never does anything. I keep thinking about getting a cleaner in for 2 hours a week to do the jobs I hate and expect my DH to do and he never does, but I am still not sure about the idea of someone I don't know in my house.

Well, I thought I was getting mild Braxton hicks for a few days and it just felt like a mild tightening on my bump and it I touched it it felt extra hard. The one I got today was a short and sharp pain, it felt like less than a second but if it was much longer it would have felt really awful. I have read that people generally start feeling them from mid pregnancy but some people never feel them at all. I kept reading in the second trimester forum about people getting them and thought I was strange for never getting them but it looks like they are starting at the beginning of the third for me. I am dreading contractions all the more now though.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Hi girls,

It was bad news today, my levels have already dropped to 14 and the bleeding is very heavy! So looks like 3rd time wasn't so lucky for me

Good Luck to the rest of you and hope all your pregnancies go well and thank you for making me feel so welcome.xxx

 

[beachlover1]

Oh sassy, Im really sorry to hear this! I had EXACTLY the same as that the cycle before I got pregnant this time...your body is in baby making mode now remember! I didnt wait a cycle as it was a "chemical" pregnancy, and I caught again straight away 30 days later! look where i am now!! I really hope you are back soon, and i wish you lots of luck! xx

 

[Poshie]

Oh sassy, I'm so sorry to hear this my story is the same as BL's so it's happened for us two and many others. Don't give up hope. BL's right, you will be primed for pg now. Best of luck for the future and I hope we will see you back here again

 

[OmiOmen]

Aww, Sassy I am so sorry. After three M/C's they should offer you some tests but if you do try again straight away I really hope it is 4th time lucky for you.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Thanks alot girls, we really want to start trying again very soon but I'm scared that of there is a problem and its not just "bad luck" then it will happen again and I really cant put myself through it again!xx

 

[OmiOmen]

I can understand that you don't want to go though this again but remember that they should offer you tests after 3 m/c's and sometimes they pick up problems that are actually really easy to fix so it is worth taking them. Nothing I can say that will make you feel better but I really hope that if/when you try again that it all goes smoothly.

 

[Lol78]

Sassy, I'm so sorry sweetie that you are having to go through this again. It's just not fair. xxx

 

[beachlover1]

Oh Sassy, they should look at running some blood tests for you, most of the time its NOTHING at all, sometimes you just need a superdooper dose of folic acid (like me).

On another note, im not sure how far you were with the other 2 MCs but this time was a chemical (about 5 weeks if i read right) well on a positive note yes they are included in MCs BUT my specialist said they only get a bit concerned when they see 3 or more interuterine pregnancies ie ones that they see with a HB on a scan that then fail! thats more indicative of a problem. Please dont be concerned, see your doc and push for some bloods but im sure its just a matter of time.

 

[beachlover1]

Morning all!!

15 weeks today....time is DRAGGING!!!!!

Hows everyone today? x

 

[Poshie]

Hello BL , Happy 15 weeks I'm doing okay - just told work (see story below if you're bored)

Oh and what you said about doctors being more concerned if mc occurs in utero, after hb, is exactly what my gp said to me.

I've just told work girls! I asked a director for five minutes and told him I'm pregnant. He wasn't very surprised (remember they have been expecting it since my mc in July) and said he had his suspicions. He said he wondered when I didn't drink at the office party and another event too. Now here's the funny bit (well I thought so anyway).........he said that another director made a comment to him about me - which must have been how my boobs have grown (he didn't use those exact words to me of course) Cheeky sod! He also said that he noticed the other day, when I was stood talking to someone that I had a bit of a paunch that wasn't there before. I told him I'm fully intending to return to work somewhere between 6 and 12 months. He said they would be very happy to have me back and not to worry. He explained that they have thought about what they would do in this instance and think they will get a temp in to cover me whilst I'm off.

So I feel a sense of relief that they know now and can make plans. He said he'd leave it up to me to tell who I want when I want.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

I spoke to the consultant today at the EPU and me and DH are going for all the tests on Thursday, we have to wait 2 months for the results but I feel lucky that something is being done.xx

 

[Poshie]

Hey Sassy. That's quick actually. I know you have the 2 month wait afterwards, but at least you don't have long to wait for the actual tests. Best of luck with that and do keep us informed as to how you get on won't you
