Ash sounds like you have a fab plan this cycle !! I really hope it does the trick for you xoxo. Whoop!!! If you want a great app for calories I always use My Fitness Pal. It's awesome !! Xx

I got that app yesterday!! Going to start using it today! Hahaha I actually must have had an account before because it wouldn't let me create a new one and when I finally got my name and password right it said I hadn't logged in in 26 months!! Hahaha

[OurLilFlu]

Hey ladies, sounds like everyone is doing pretty good! Yay new cycles, waiting for O and stuff like that. Nat, hope all your results are good or at least give an indication on where to go ttc wise, always feels better when you're doing something different! I'm sure it'll go great!
Can't even wait for Meg's scan or news about barb!

AFM this morning we went and did our maternity pics, outside, -12! Lol pretty cool. Had the dog with us so I hope a lot of those family shots turn out well! Also I went and got 2 outfits yesterday and had one boxed up according to the gender card the U/S tech wrote. So Kurtis got a few shots of opening the box and he did a pic of the dog smelling the shoes and a pic of me covering my eyes while Kurtis held the booties on my belly! I still don't know what it is but he does and he's sooo loving keeping it a secret, he's so excited its so cute! Tonight going over to Kurtis's parents for my birthday dinner and cake. Good Sunday all around!

[mommaplus05]

Ok gals. Im soooo not doin well and this suks..this txt is gona b tmi so beware..but as u know I was constipated sooo bad but after 10 days I was finally able to go..(relief) but now I have had watery stools literaly every ten min all night and this mornin..I have like a 5 hr brk but since 5 am its back w a vengeance. My bottom is bleeding from goin soooo much..wat the heck do I do now? Lol I dnt wana stop myself back up but if I go ta go to bathroom again im gona die..lol any suggestions? Im afraid to eat anything or drink anything. This is soooo horrible..I am beyond miserable..I hate to call doc again..last wk it was constipation amd now this..I dnt know which is worse..my bottom is soooo raw it hurts to even sit. Help ladies. Lol

 

[Petzy]

Amanda that is awful... call the doc! never feel bad about that.. they can recommend what will help that is also safe. what about some Polysporin to at least let the area repair itself? Ugh that is just the worst I get that sometimes too... I feel for you!! xo

 

[Petzy]

I am really dizzy this morning and I dont know why... it is not fun and feels so uncomfortable. The drive into work was scary as everything tilted...twice..

 

[OurLilFlu]

Oh jeez ladies, first tri symptoms with a vengeance. I don't know what to tell ya about your bathroom issues. Try to eat something though. Your body probably just ramped up your bowel activity to get that plug out and now it's affecting everything behind it. Whatever you do don't try to hold it. But like meg said try to put something on your poor butt to help with the pain/healing. Hopefully everything evens out for you.

And meg make sure you keep your blood sugars decent and drink lots of water incase your BP is low. Both of those things can make you dizzy. My BP dropped over30 points in first tri, now it's back up to my reg 120/80.

 

[Nataliieexo]

Amanda that happened to me it didnt last to long but it was literally like that, get something for your bum, cold cream.

Meg might be something to do with blood pressure, get it checked out, looking forward to your scan tomorrow

I wish we could fast forward to next wednesday i cant wait for my scan, hopefully all is perfect cant help but worry i discussed it with my physiologist today, oh yeah i dont think i have mentioned that i've seen a physiologist twice now see her every two weeks, really helps to have someone to talk too about my feelings etc, trying to work out how i can get to sleep before 1-2am, i cant function off less than 10 hours sleep or i have morning sickness, so sleeping late and trying to get my 10 hours is hard lol nearly half way to meeting my baby so excited, i have bought him loads, got lots of bargains at baby event, just need to cool it a bit so i dont run out of things to buy so early lol x

 

[Petzy]

Thanks for the tips re Blood Pressure ladies... I have a blood pressure machine at home - a new one actually So I will check tonight and see how I am doing! lol

Natalie - do you mean a psychologist? I think that is so great you are doing that... keeping you healthy mentally will go a long way.. for both you and your baby boy! I will say I know this is only on the internet but your spirits seem high and you are such a sweet positive person... I hope you are slowly beginning to heal from all you have gone through.. what a year 2013 was for you xx

 

[Petzy]

oh looky looky I am a raspberry lol

 

[OurLilFlu]

Yay raspberry!! I love how first tri you basically get to skip the first 4 weeks, the other tris seem so much longer!

Ya Natalie I also see a counsellor for anxiety and things like that, I've only been going every 3 weeks or so but it helps to air out some things. Being adopted, and only having adopted siblings pregnancy can throw you some curve balls. Also with my mom it can be hard to talk about since we cant really bond over being pregnant because all of her pregnancies ended in loss, including a stillbirth. So it's a little different that way.
I worry sometimes that I'm not as connected to this lil bean as I 'should be' or I feel under prepared and stuff like that. It just feels good to sort through those feelings and get some reassurance. It's also a time for me to just check in and really take the time to focus on myself and take a break from hectic days

 

[Petzy]

Really well put, Talia. I also have had counselling from time to time over the last many years and it has helped a great deal. Its very proactive thing to do! xx

 

[Korbie82]

Hello ladies, may I join? I'm 9dpo. Tested 8dpo and 9dpo...both negative. I wasn't going to POAS again till Friday but this groups is a wonderful justification for my current obsession

 

[Nataliieexo]

Thank you, yes thats what i meant, bloody auto correct haha, really do find it helpful she sent me home today thinking about why i dont go into my mams room, i couldnt answer it, i have only been in it about 3 times since she died, i just put it down to i dont need to go in there any more i was always in there checking on her etc, i guess its because shes not there anymore and its where she mostly was so going in there makes it a little more real, then she said i should start going through her things getting rid of some, this isnt something i plan to do or want to, they are welcome to be there, they arent in the way, when i feel ready to i will go in and look at what she had but i dont think i could part with anything, well maybe letters etc that arent needed but her clothes can be kept, i sleep with the second last pj top she wore under my pillow, the last pjs she had on are in my room aswell, i havent even unpacked her hospital bag properly and what i did unpack went back into her drawers, maybe i should unpack it.

I am trying to be positive, i have my days like everyone does maybe most days but i have my little boy to focus on aswell so i spend alot of my time imagining what its going to be like to have him here and cuddle him, i know the timing for her to leave me is really horrendous and made it worse but in a way i have a main focus to keep me going, i really could have been worse if i didnt have him, but im too excited to be experiencing this xx

Of course pee tomorrow! haha we all love to see tests, well i do anyways lol good luck

 

[OurLilFlu]

Welcome korbie! We love peeking at tests!

Natalie, I think your counsellor brings up a good point about your mums room and things... Yes our brains rationalize and give reasons ti avoid painful things, exactly like you explained 'the things aren't in anyone's way, there's no reason to get rid of it, there's no need to go in the room etc' but I think she's looking at it as something therapeutic you could do to help heal and organize your emotions towards her passing. It might be something to consider... Of course no one is telling you to dismantle the room and get rid of everything, but just looking through some things might be good for you... it was terrible timing indeed but I hope her knowing you are expecting and you having this new chapter opening up brings you lots of peace... Hugs!

 

[Nataliieexo]

I did look through some stuff in the earlier stages as i had to look for things, i also removed any diarys i could find as i know she wrote some unpleasent things she felt about herself in there and i didnt want them falling into anyone elses hands, i had to skim them to look for her post office pin and really wish i didnt have to and dont want anyone else to see what she wrote i think it will be upsetting, plus a diary is personal i wont even read it apart from the skimming i did. I think i might take a day and just look through all her papers throw away what isnt needed well shred them. And just have a look i had to look in one of her drawers last week and found the receipt for my baby walker and pram, i cant believe she kept them for 24 years, it felt really nice to know she kept them to be honest, maybe finding old things she kept of mine might really help.

 

[Nataliieexo]

Scan day meg right? Good luck excited to see pics x

 

[OurLilFlu]

Aww that is really sweet you found those receipts! You might be right that it might be good if you find some sentimental things that you two shares... All in due time!

Yay scan day meg! Can't wait to see/hear!
