Welcome! This group is sporatically active, but I know there are two other April groups out there. I mainly participate in the Pregnancy After Loss April group, and there is a main pregnancy group out there too.. It just moved too fast for me to keep up with Just wanted to make sure that you found a group that is active Let me know if you want me to post the links.

 

[fluterby429]

Thank you for replying. I don't want to join a huge group. I may have to troll around and see what's out there. Thanks for the heads up.

Congrats on baby

Welcome fluterby!
Aknqtpie is right about the other groups being more active. The April bunnies 2015 used to move really quickly so I think a lot of people got overwhelmed by it and left. Now there are only a handful of us that regularly contribute so it's easy to follow!

How has your pregnancy been?

 

[aknqtpie]

^^That was the group! I just couldn't keep up, I would check in once a day and have about 10 pages to go through..

 

[fluterby429]

My pregnancy hasn't been too bad really. I had an SCH at the beginning that scared the crap out of me and I thought two different times that I lost the baby. This is our miracle thousands and thousands of dollars baby lol

Here's a pic of my ultrasound from Sat.

How are you ladies doing? How many kids do each of you have?

 

[aknqtpie]

This will be my first You?

 

[Beanonorder]

Aknqtpie you should drop by again. The thread has seriously slowed down!

Fluterby that is such a cute picture! I have a daughter already. She is two. I'm also having a boy this time.

 

[RainbowBaby13]

welcome flutterby like the others said this group can be inactive for long periods of time and that there is another group. I left it because it was just to much for me lol and felt like my comments kept getting skipped over. im doing good! so excited to be in the third trimester lol and this will be baby number 1 for me how are you?

 

[fluterby429]

We all seem to be pretty close in dates.

I have a 15 year old son (16 in Sept), a daughter that I adopted at 13mo that will be 13 on the 22nd and another son that will be 13 in April. I had a tubal reversal in 2010 and never got pregnant. Spent tons of time and money on fertility treatments. The end of July we took a leap of faith and went to Mexico for IVF and my pregnancy is a result of two embryos that were transferred

 

[Beanonorder]

Fluterby that is quite a journey you've been on! I'm glad you have come this far successfully!
How do your kids feel about the new baby? I know teenagers often give very mixed reactions to the idea!
My dd loves saying 'hi' to the baby but I really don't think she has any idea what she is in for! She's very much at the age where she thinks the world revolves around her!!

So what's everyone's birth plans? I had a pretty traumatic labour and delivery last time so I'm attempting hypnobirthing this time. Only problem is I'm not being very good about practicing and reading all the things I'm supposed to be doing! I go on holiday on Friday so I'm hoping to get everything sorted out then!

 

[fluterby429]

My kids are super excited about the baby. My youngest was taken back at first but now he pokes my belly and hopes for a kick and says the baby is going to be just like him lol.

Birth plan will be a c-section. I've had two previous c-sections. I spoke with my doctor about having a VBA2C he said he would allow it but highly advised against it. He promised me I can do kanaroo care in the OR while they are stitching me up and baby will be with me all the time, unlike in the past where baby was taken to the nursery and I didn't get to hold my baby immediately.

 

[RainbowBaby13]

flutterby that's amazing and also congratulations on your pregnancy I didn't know that you could keep your baby with you after a csection instead of having to wait, that's pretty cool

 

[aknqtpie]

That's an amazing story Flutterby!

My birthplan is to just show up and hope everything goes well. I want to try to go as long as I can without getting an epidural, but will probably end up getting one.. I just want to be able to move around before it gets too intense.

Otherwise.. just kind of going by the seat of my pants..

 

[fluterby429]

Thanks ladies. My nearly 5 year journey has challenged me in ways I could never imagine. I have become very knowledgable about infertility and it encouraged me to go back to school to get a nursing degree. My hope is to work in an infertility clinic, as I feel I will be compassionate to what the couples are going through. I'm currently off this semester because of the baby's due date being close to finals. I hold a 3.89 GPA and I don't want to lose that lol

I hope each of you have the birth you are dreaming of. I know I won't and it sucks but I'm trying to make the best of my situation. At least I'm having a baby no matter how he enters the world

 

[RainbowBaby13]

Awsome gpa that's great that your journey has led you to getting a nursing degree I hope I can have a vaginal birth but pumpkin is so comfortable where is at and he's breeched. I don't think he's gonna turn lol, praying that he does

 

[Beanonorder]

Very inspiring fluterby!

Rainbow my baby was also breech at my 28 week scan. I'm having another tomorrow so we'll see if he's turned. My first baby didn't turn til late in the pregnancy.

I just met my new doctor today. She is lovely and I'm really happy. I have to see a high risk specialist tomorrow and I'll see him until around 36 weeks and then go back to her. But she listened to the heartbeat and it's strong and my bump is measuring average size. Let's hope tomorrow goes well too!

 

[RainbowBaby13]

I hope my baby turns soon. Could you feel him turn head down? How come you have to see a high risk doctor? I have to see one too, I have appointments every 2 weeks due to a shortening cervix and funneling and had a cerclage placed at 20 weeks and been on bedrest ever since glad everything is going well and hope your appointment goes good as well
