BFP Ladies from MAY we all be blessed with baby! TTC May '13 and beyond[Closed Group]

Daddiesgift, I hope you are proud with how you are doing with breastfeeding despite the hard times. I am beginning to get mastitis, just woke up with the red streaky, painful boob so pumping, compressing, applying heat like crazy. Hope it works.

For us,.though there are some challenges, the bonding and ease of it make it worth it. I would encourage.anyone to try to do it, because it is rewarding for mother and baby.

I need some advice I'm 28.5 weeks and I just had some spotting. It was red and only when I wiped. Should I be concerned or is this normal. I'll probably give my dr a call just to be sure, but wanted see if anyone has experienced it. Eli is still very active and I haven't had any contractions.

Was this after DTD? Spotting after sex is normal but I would always call the doctor (or a triage line/ L&D after hours to see if you can wait or if they want you to come in) and let them know right away. I am sure that everything is fine, but let them check him out just to be sure. Better to be overly cautious than not.

 

[athena87]

No we haven't dtd in probably a week.

 

[kksy9b]

I would just give your doctor a call then and let them know this morning. I had a bleed in my pg and they sent me for an US but I wasn't as far along as you are so I'm not sure if they would do anything more as well.

 

[melann13]

Agreed athena, I'd call. I had some brown at 34 wks for no particular reason. I'm sure everything is fine, but if it's not you're still well within the realm of "fixability"

 

[kksy9b]

Hoping everything is alright with Athena!

 

[athena87]

Everything is good. It was just some irritation.

 

[kksy9b]

Glad to hear! I can't believe how far along you are- he will be here before you know it! How are you feeling otherwise?

 

[athena87]

I know I can't believe it either. It feels like it's flying by. I've had heartburn lately and hip/pelvic pain. The pain and having to go to the bathroom every two hours at night has been keeping me up and I'm thinking my body might be prepping me for lack of sleep. October 3 my due date just so happens to be my husbands football teams by-week so he keeps telling Eli he has to come that week so he won't miss a game lol.

 

[kksy9b]

Sorry you're having that 3rs tri pain kick in...just hang in there and know that other than the lack of sleep, all of the other aches and pains go away once he's here! For me, the best one was not having to pee every hour and a half that would be wonderful if he came during the by week- is it a team your DH plays on or a professional one?

 

[athena87]

He's a high school football coach.

 

[kksy9b]

That makes more sense

Have you started getting Eli's room ready? Any specific theme that you're going for?

 

[athena87]

Yes his room is almost complete. We still have to hang stuff on the walls. I want to get some black out curtains and there are still a few things we need, but it is coming together.

 

[kksy9b]

Cute! Looking great!

 

[magicwhisper]

love the nursery

 

[athena87]

We got some new pictures. The ultrasound tech and I were watching him yawn and open an close his mouth. She even got a video of him sticking his tongue out. And he's definitely a boy

 

[kksy9b]

so sweet!

 

[athena87]

I had my 30 week appt today and I along with my dr are frustrated. Eli is looking great. He is over 3 lbs now. We had the ultrasound on Tuesday to check his kidneys. They are still slightly dilated but my dr said they are within the normal range. She said now they are saying they didn't get a good picture of his lips so they want to send me to a specialist to get a better picture because they couldn't rule out a cleft pallet. It irritates me because the tech and I watched him open and close his mouth multiple times and then she went to the radiologist and asked if she had all the pictures they needed and he looked through them and said yes. I dont see why they said they had them all and then sent a message to my dr saying they didnt.

Hi ladies,

I've been stalking for awhile, but finally feel comfortable to leave the May 2013 ttc thread...lol
I am now 9 weeks eek!
Had an u/s at 6w5d, and everything was on track. Since then, I've been quite nauseous but never actually thrown up.
Got to stop my meds today (Estrace and Crinone)
Next u/s is only in 6 days - hoping everything is still great

Realize I am way behind most of you, but thought I'd give an update that it did finally happen for us
