[Nursebecky31]

Thank you Nat! I have to go in for a check tomorrow. I think they may do an NST. I have been having lots and lots of Braxton Hicks (or that's what I think they are), but they said since its twins they would feel better checking me out and making sure there are no cervical changes happening since I am having them so frequently. So I go at 7:30 in the morning when I get off of work. I will let you know what they say.

 

[momma_nat]

For sure I look forward to your update

 

[Nursebecky31]

All was fine they just want me to rest the next couple days. The FFP they did today was negative, so all looks good!

Hi girls, well I just hit the 1 year mark of actively trying. I'm pretty discouraged and hopeful alternately off and on. Right now I'm discouraged, I deleted a girl on facebook for posting a positive pregnancy test yesterday (same day my lovely period came) lol. However I have an appt with a new dr in 2 weeks, she seems easier to talk to and hopefully more aggressive. How are you Linsey? And greenie? Glad to hear things are good for you Becky. I'm sorry you're having a hard time nat, baby dust to us all.

 

[Nursebecky31]

I'm sorry Lanet!! (((hugs))) Please let us know how you're appointment goes!!

 

[lindsayms05]

Hi ladies! Love the bump pic, Becky! Nat, I hope things get easier for you, hang in there hun. Lanet, I totally understand the facebook deleting! Facebook is the worst, lol.

I'm doing okay. My period came today, which is depressing but exciting because I actually ovulated! We're trying 200mg again this cycle and see if it can get me to ovulate again. It's the first time I've ovulated in years, so I'm slightly hopeful. Of course I wish we would have gotten pregnant but I'll take just ovulating for now, lol. Hope everyone else is doing well!

hello ladies!! so great to read updates on you all. i truely hope that 2012 is the year for everyone! great news that you ovulated lindesy, thats the first step. lanet, i really hope your new dr works out for you. Nat, Big hugs to you, i cant even begin to imagine all youve been thru. you are truley a strong woman for holding up as well as you have been. Becky, wow, such a beautiful bump!!! them baby boys are gonna be here before you know it!

As for me, im doing pretty good. im just over 17weeks. ive gained like 3 lbs LOL and dont have a baby bump yet at all. which ive read is normal but never woudla guessed lol. i am a bit over weight tho so im sure that is partially why. baby however has pushed up my ... fat as weird or gross as that sounds. so i have this fat roll above my belly button. very weird to me. All this is new to me so im like whats going on here. being pregnant and working in a factory im finding dont really go well together. ive been having major lower back and hip pain and if i dont get to sit down even for 5 mins on a regular basis i get this really annoying burning numbing pain in my outter thighs. no idea what causes this but im gonna discuss it with my dr during my next apt. any ideas?? the count down has begun, my BIG ultrasound is on Feb 9th. i am so excited to find out a boy or a girl. i sure hope the baby cooperates so we can find out. were hoping for a boy, but of course will be super happy either way. Ill of course let you all know soon as i find out.

Baby dust to all you ladies, 2012 is the year

 

[lanet]

Oh greenie I'm so happy for you! I can't wait to hear what you're having! Maybe that burning pain could be sciatic nerve pain? I'm not sure. I'm excited to hear what my new dr has to say. My daughter will be 9 years old on Valentines Day, it's been soooo long since I've been pregnant!

 

[lanet]

Just an update about my dr appt, she wants to retest my husbands semen and if the motility is still low, she thinks we should try IUI. It seems affordable enough, around $1000 for the monitoring and IUI. Not that I want to spend that, but it's more affordable than some other options. She also said that the chance of me having blocked tubes and needing the hsg is very low since I have been pregnant in the past. Becky did you have one done?

 

[Nursebecky31]

Hey Lanet! I did have one done, even though I'd already had 2 children with no problem. They would not prescribe clomid to me until I had it done because they said that the clomid wouldn't do me any good if my tubes were blocked. Since it had been 7 years since I had been pregnant, they said I could've built up scar tissue or something. On the good side, it also increases fertility afterwards. My fertility specialist said for 6 months, but I've heard some say for 3. No matter what, it will for a little while at least. When are you having it done? Have you already done the second SA?

Greenie, I can't wait to hear what you're having!! Since I obviously have a lot of boy vibes, I'll send you some...lol. I am 26+5 right now. CRAZY!!!! The weirdest thing is taking care of babies at my work right now who's due date is after mine!!! It gives me a good idea of what my litte guys look like.

Lindsay, let us know how things go!!

MK8, good luck girl! Keep us posted! And as far as BDing goes, we did everything from every day, twice a day, and every other day...the month I got pregnant we only did it the day before...lol.

 

[Greenie5]

hello ladies. hope youre all doing well. i wanted to check in on ya all plus tell yas some GREAT news!!! ... ITS A................ BOY!!!!! we so cant wait till my little Kaycen Owen is born! TY becky for all the boy dust!

 

[Nursebecky31]

Hey Greenie!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm so excited for you! I can't believe I am 30 weeks already. These 2 little guys are gonna be here before we know it! Especially since twins rarely make it to full term. I'm hoping for at least 37 weeks though. I'm still working 12 hour nights at the hospital. I still don't think its all really sunk in.

How are the rest of you ladies?

 

[Nursebecky31]

So quick update: I'm definitely tired, but I was still working three 12 hour nights at the hospital until last week (which I was planning on doing until I delivered them because I am the only one working still, so it's pretty much a necessity.) But then things changed and didn't work the way i had planned, and I got put in the hospital last week at 31 weeks because I went into preterm labor and I was already 3cm and 80% effaced. *I spent two days in labor and delivery on magnesium, and i also got both of the steroid shots to help with lung development which made me feel much better!! Then I spent about a week in the hospital on bed rest. After that they said that if I promised to stay on strict bed rest at home, than they would let me go home. I was so desperate to be home with my guys. Plus, I work in the NICU and I know how much I absolutely do NOT want to deliver early. So I swore I would be good and they let me go home! I had to go back at about 1:00am this morning for some bleeding and contractions, but everything calmed down after a couple hours and they let me go home again at 4:00 today. Hopefully that will be the last trip until I have them, which I hope is not for at least another 3-4 weeks!!! I am 32 weeks and 6 days right now, and they have to be at least 35 weeks and 4.4 lbs to avoid an automatic NICU trip. We've hit the 4 lb mark as of last Monday, so now we just need to make it to at least 35 weeks. Of course, 35 weeks doesn't automatically rule them out either because they'll still be early and may still need help. The closer I can get to 38 weeks the better! Twins is just a whole new world to me because my other pregnancies were always such a breeze!

How is everybody else? I haven't heard any updates in forever!!!

 

[LoloShells]

Hi Becky, hope you can hold those lil guys in for another few weeks!

No good news on my end. Not trying right now. My sister just had a stillborn at 37 weeks (Jan 25th) and I don't have it in me to get pregnant right away. I might go see a fs in a few months.

I hope you'll share some pics when those sweet babies are here!

 

[Greenie5]

becky. i sure hope you take it easy and keep them lil boys in there a few more weeks. just rememeberyou know beter than any of us, if they do have to go to the nicu theyll be in good hands. ill be thinking of the three of you!

As for me, im doing great. im still working. i had assumed ( never assume its bad for you) that id be off work at 24 weeks because no woman has ever worked past 24 at my work before. My dr doesnt seem to see any reason why i should be off and so weve decided unless i feel i cant safelty do my job or it starts to get tooo hot that i will work for now. I do have one major concern tho that id like to pick ur brains about. What do you know about how loud noises could effect the baby in the womb? i work for 8 hrs a day with 84-87 decibles in my area. Osha requires me to wear hearing protection to protect my own hearing. ive been searching online and reading that it could cause hearing loss, stress on the baby and premature birth. i talked to my dr but now i feel i left uncertain. she first said that he is protected in there, but then said that if it could effect me that it could effect him. then she moved on and i didnt think about it till i left that she kinda counterdicted herself there. im gonna call tomorrow and hopefully get a clearer answer but wanted to see what you ladies thought as well. i mean if he can hear me talking to him in a normal voice.. then wouldnt he hear loud noises the same as i do as well? i know i scared him last week using an air hose.. soon as i went to use it he jumped super hard . i felt so bad. i guess i just need some reasurance. id never forgive myself if my son is born with hearing problems because of my work
