6 DPO...& ...POAS until positive!

[OurLilFlu]

Ya our boy name was in honour of both our grandpas so it felt weird not having any meaning for a girls name and we didn't like any of the names of female family members... So when we came up with Royen, it instantly was the one.

She is a super baby, sleeping 3-4 hrs since the very beginning, this week she's started sleeping 8or9 til 5or6am, it's quite nice! We have been exclusively breastfeeding since a couple days after we got home, we had trouble in hospital but granted she was recovering from some trauma. It's been good for me, I honestly still don't feel like a 'mother', kinda weird to call myself mom but all I know is that I have this little girl and my world revolves around her. It's getting so much more fun now that she's starting to smile and coo and react to things. All in all the new newborn phase was good to us to say the least! Kurtis has been really good and our families can't get enough of her lol

 

[barbikins]

Awe, that sounds so great! Good for you, so pleased! xo
What sort of trauma did she endure?

 

[OurLilFlu]

I'm sure I wrote a bit more detailed way back, but basically she was malpositioned (head tilted sideways, posterior (back to back) and coming out forehead first) my labour was very long, 30 or so hours before we had to transfer to hospital. Pushed for 2 hours at the birth centre and a lot later another 2 1/2 at the hospital. Her head was very swollen and not going to budge, Ob was consulted and still she was too high for forceps or vaccuum so at about 42 hours of labour it was a csection. She was so stuck they considered breaking my pelvis. They got her free, tearing my uterus a bit in the process, I lost a lot of blood. She had a ton of swelling and a huge bruise across her entire forehead, they suspected infection also passed from me so she got poked a ton of times to get her IV started, which they were never successful with until the NICU transport team came to bring us to the other hospital etc. mostly for her it was just a long traumatic delivery with a big sore head for 5 or so days

I have a water infection i was getting quite regular pains in my back and stomach on wednesday night i was staying at a friends as we had a shopping trip thursday, they were only mild so i managed not to worry and get some sleep, on thursday i started having to pee badly and nothing came out, i then started to feel alot of pressure in my lower stomach when walking around and then more needing to pee and not being able to, i went to the docs yesterday and he said UTI so i have anti-biotics. I also got signed back from consultant care to midwife care because my heart is fine and i am no longer high risk to blood clots, i was also with the consultant for UTIs and everytime i have been to them my urine has been clear it even was on wednesday and by friday i had infection, typical. Hormones are driving me up the wall, my poor oh has to put up with them i have literally spent all afternoon arguing because he is going out, i declined going to my friends for a girly night because i am not sleeping and have the UTI and feel crap and every other saturday we are both suppost to make plans with friends and because mine went out the window i started becoming really petty and i just couldnt stop, i think because i am used to being with my mam when i am not with him and i have done what we planned every other weekend the thought of being on my own tonight really got to me, its so stupid we managed to resolve it but i still feel really crappy about it.

My dad isn't much further with housing but i had to write a letter yesterday saying that i couldn't house him permanently and the reason etc, it sounds so awful i hate this situation but i really cant help it, it is annoying but i have to make the best of the situation x

 

[barbikins]

Wow lilflu, that's quite the journey. Glad everything turned out well. Pregnancies and birth are just not strait forward and simple unfortunately. Wish they were.

Thanks crazy! I wish you the very best and hope you will get pregnant this year!

Thanks girls for your support xo
I'll keep you all updated. I also keep my blood up to date. The link is in my siggy.
I go for my first Beta test tomorrow! Ahhhhhh!

Hi Girls! My number is 751 @ 16dpo! Back on Wednesday.

 

[mommaplus05]

Omg barbs!!!what amazing news! I am sooooo hapyy for u!

 

[Nataliieexo]

Barb - did you get your beta results yet?

I am measuring 33 weeks at 31+6 i was measuring a week ahead last week aswell not that its accurate or anything lol i am not back at the midwifes for another 3 weeks now and then it is to discuss my birth plan...eeek....i am also starting raspberry leaf tea tomorrow, i hate things like that i bet its disgusting lol but anything i can do to help, it might not help but its worth a shot x

 

[OurLilFlu]

Yes barb I am incessantly refreshing your blog!

Natalie, I made RLT but put it on ice with a squirt of crystal light flavour stuff... Don't know if you have those, mio is another one. It's not that bad it's kind of like green tea but bitter-er

 

[barbikins]

OMG girls I am soo sorry to keep you hanging! I got my results in at 3pm and then I had to go to my first prenatal with my Natropath doctor, back to work and then off again. Just settling in at home w/food on the stove. I have to update my blog soon too.
It came in at 1724 18dpo!! I'll be going back either Saturday or Sunday for another draw & my first u/s will be May 10th, 11th or 12th....seems like we can choose which ever day works best for us. YIPPEE!

I still feel a bit numb and like it's surreal. I can't believe its happening to a point that I feel like I'm reading someone else's words.

Natalliee, if you're measuring ahead does that mean your due date changes or just that your baby's big?

 

[Shey]

That's awesome Barb! I have yet to go to the doctor. I have to find one that takes my insurance.

Haha hey there sheen.

Yes yes....I'm back in the game...wohooooo
Cd2 today,

Oh yeah ok....so a few months ago I had a consultation with a specialist...
And she starts talking abut sclerosis....my ears went firmly shut when I heard that word so I spdid actually listen to the rest.lol
But as it turns out she was saying "a multiple of sclerosis"
And she has now instead diagnosed me with ankylosing spondylitis.
Yeah that's the one.....
The condition sucks ass....big time....I have to have fluoroscopic injections...
But I am trying to change this currently....I'm actually having lots of anxiety about this procedure itself.
Hoping the long term meds become available instead.
Pain is an issue for me daily....but I'm a tough cookie...
I won't let this beat me.not at all....well untill I hit like 90 or something haha

How's you?
How's it all coming along with ttc.?
Good I hopes.
