buddy wanted - ttc after ectopic surgery to remove a tube or more

[maybebayb]

how are you lovelies feeling?
I feel pretty crappy, tired and dry reaching every morning, nothing to really complain about though
Meeting my midwife in three days, excited! then I'll get a referral for a scan and book one in for early next week.. if I can wait that long hehe

can't wait to get past 6+2 as thats when I lost our little pea last time, I know this is totally different as not ectopic but its a milestone I feel I have to get past.

hope you are all well xx

 

[LynnC]

Hope the scan is going to be joyful for you!

Afm, im slowly recovering. It seems like everyday is a step toward recovery. Cant wait till the day i can walk faster, jump, run again or sleep comfortably. Still having mild bleeding. Dont even know when it will stop?!

Mmm do you know when is okay to have xxx? Its been over a month and i dont wanna lose that feeling haha

 

[Amcolecchi]

Maybe-I was the same way! I just wanted past 6w4d because that's when we found our ectopic too! My husband and I looked into midwives and we are going to meet with both an OBGYN and a midwife soon and make our decision! I might double dip too! I mean we pay for insurance so might as well use it!! lol

 

[Amcolecchi]

Lynn-I had surgery and we couldn't start trying till my blood levels were at 0, which took me about 8 weeks. After that I had my first period since the surgery and we tried and got prego! We were NOT thinking it would happen that fast but it did! You should ask your doctor to be safe! You want to make sure you heal properly!

c.m.c i first came out here in november and it was lush, you should defo get back out here - maybe for baby's first holiday ;-)

Ladies, how often are you all getting twinges in your abdomen, Im concerned Im not getting enough - at 4 weeks I had them on and off all day, but the last week they seem to have calmed down a lot and Im not sure if that is normal...surely the bigger bean is getting the more I should have? I can't believe my scan isn't for another 2 weeks ahhhh

Amcolecchi, good idea to meet an OB and a midwife before making a decision, you can see who you feel more comfortable with, or double dip if need be...how are you feeling??

Maybebayb, Im feeling shite with you, spent the weekend in bed feeling like I was going to be sick every minute and felt like I had the flu...Came to work today to find out my Boss was taken into hospital over the weekend with the flu and one other guy is off with it too...GREAT!! The ladies I work with think I might be coming down with it because I have felt so bad all day, so I managed to sneak some of this Thai herbal drink off the pregnant lady for nausea...tastes/smells foul, but wow did it help Ive been on a roll for 2 hours now and yet I felt poo for 2.5 days - costs 12baht (20p in the uk or 10 cents in the US)to buy it in a shop, so you can guess what I'll be buying later

Lynn, my doc told us to wait 3 months before trying again, but that's because I had the metho shot - I had to wait a month before I could DTD because it was just too painful, but everyone is different and you will know when you feel ready

 

[Amcolecchi]

Sandy-I was the same way with the twinges!! They all of the sudden stopped and I freaked out...but don't worry they come back but not as often and sometimes I don't even feel them! So you are totally okay I feel good! No MS! Just tired really. Not craving any food yet either...just wishing I could be in the 2nd trimester already..so September needs to fly by hahaa! How else are you feeling by the way?

 

[sandyhen85]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! So glad that its ok.

I'm not craving foods yet either, but have gone off a lot of them because of nausea haha

you've got less than 4 weeks left until the second trimester, wow that's great...I'm sure the next 3 weeks will feel like they are dragging though, but I hope not. I've got 6.5 to go...I think because we all found out rather early, it all feels a lot longer and slower.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Sandy-yes it does feel like it takes forever!!!! So unfair hahaha BUT just go day by day and hopefully it will be here before you know it! Yes that's the only thing bad about finding out early, the wait hahaha'! But at least we get to see our little beans grow!

 

[sandyhen85]

Ladies omg...3 people at work have now gone down with the flu and because I've been feeling poo I popped over the road to the hospital to check I'm ok and that what I'm experiencing is morning sickness and not flu as well. As I had secretly hoped, the doc said let me do a scan and check baby has progressed and everything looks ok, so she did a scan and I saw baby and the heartbeat, got to listen to it too yey!! Measured 6w3 but should be 6w4d but it's a case of 1mm so at this point no worries. I nearly burst out crying I was so happy. I do have a big cyst on my right ovary, but she said unless I get pain then there is no need to worry. As for the flu, I have no fever so although I have some symptoms that could be flu they are more than likely morning sickness, I just need to keep an eye on my temp to be sure I don't get a fever. Oh I'm so happy right now maybebayb when is your next scan I can't wait for you to see the HB as well

 

[sandyhen85]

My ickle bean

 

[Amcolecchi]

Sandy-Yayyyy congrats!!!! Been looks amazing!!!!

 

[maybebayb]

Yay sandy! So happy you got to see your wee bean. Six more days for me till another scan, wish I had booked it in for this week now lol

Man I am so nauseous, it lasts all day until about 2pm the. I'm fine and it comes back about 7pm for a couple hours, I feel so gross but I'm coping

I swear my stomach is poking out already, I can't suck in anymore *cry* I'm scared someone will notice and ask and then I'll feel like a dick saying I'm only 6.5 weeks along lol.

What's your due date now sandy?
Mine is 'May the fourth be with you' lolz

 

[sandyhen85]

i keep getting the all day nausea too, along with headaches and hot flashes...cant eat very much. what are you managing to eat?

oh bless, im sure youre not showing, will just be some bloating which should calm down in a couple of weeks, especially if the nausea is preventing you from eating lots.

my due day is may 2nd/3rd at the mo. oh you got may 4th brilliant, are you or oh big on star wars? haha

6 days until the scan yey will be great

 

[LynnC]

Ooooohhhh Sandy, i am so happy for you! The litlle pealooks so cuuuuute congratulation!!! I heard you should try to eat (something small) every 2 hours. Maybe should consult with your doc see thats better for the baby

 

[maybebayb]

I've never seen a Star Wars movie ha, but I do know that saying and I like it

How are you feeling Lynn?

 

[sandyhen85]

Thanks Lynn I will give it a try...I stayed off fruit today and felt better, so not sure if that has been making it worse or not...will see tomorrow.

How are you doing now Lynn?

Maybebayb I can't believe you haven't seen Star Wars haha, everyone will be using the saying once you announce I'm sure, so it's good that you like it haha

 

[Amcolecchi]

May the 4th be with you!! Hehehe my dad's bday is the 2nd of May!!! Have you ladies considered using a midwife? My hubby and I are going to meet with the midwife and an OBGYN and see which one we like better!!

 

[LynnC]

Thank you girls. It seems like Im doing better. Not running yet but walking faster haha. Im still light bleeding/spotting. A little cosntipated sorry for tmi and its annoying.

Im leaving for my 1st doctors appointment post op today. Will see how it goes internally

 

[maybebayb]

Lynn I remember sitting on the toilet two days afte my op for literally 3 hours just to pass a wee nugget lol! I call it the morphine poo haha (sorry if tmi) I was in hospital for nearly two weeks waiting to be diagnosed and had A LOT of pain killers in that time.
Did they give you some lactolose or something? If not then drink kiwi fruit juice, it really helps!
I bleed for 4 days after the op lightly and got my period back as usual a month later, hope this happens for you

I'm meeting my midwife today yay, can't wait she seems so lovely so I hope I click with her irl.

Take care everyone and chat soon xx

 

[sandyhen85]

Lynn I remember being exactly the same and like Maybe has said would sit for hours...I hope it passes for you soon

Am, I don't think they have midwives here in Thailand, so will stay with my gyno, although I am thinking of changing hospitals and therefore changing gynos but haven't decided yet...need to go look at the other hospital I think. When are you meeting with yours?

Maybebayb how did things go with meeting yours today?

Not sure if I mentioned the other day that the doc told me I have a big cyst on my right ovary and it's been causing me lots of pain today, very similar to my post-op pain, was awake loads last night...I hope it won't harm the baby, although she said it wouldn't.

Anyone got any nice plans for the weekend? Mine will consist of doing the food shop and that's about it haha
