Welcome Veronique - my understanding is that 6 rounds is the limit for 1 year, though they don't know the cumulative effects over a lifetime but if you take a long break, you can usually get more tries. Thats what I've heard but things are a bit different here in the US. I believe the limit is also that they think if it hasn't worked within 6 tries, then its best to move on to something else.
Some doctors say that if you don't ovulate, it doesn't count as one of your tries.

It really varies a lot!
I swear the first 12 weeks lasted longer than the whole rest of the pregnancy!

Laura - big bummer about the pain, wish I could offer some suggestions for you but I do think you're being wise to be patient about the c-section issue.

I can't believe we have so many crawlers, clappers, and wavers already!! I always feel like I'm trying so hard to 'catch-up' with you guys and when I finally do, you're on to the next thing

As you may have seen on facebook, I hurt myself yesterday.. scraping paint and the scraper slipped and gouged my thumb pretty bad. Its a neat little incision, almost surgical but it was deep and needed a stitch. Busy at work too so I'll be checking in sporadically.

Welcome Veronique -

Hi Lisa!
Thank you!
Yeah every day seems like a week.... 2 more days and I am 5 weeks.... that week seems like eternity!!!
Your thumb sounds really painful!
When did you start being careful about lifting things in pregnancy? I have to lift 15kg bags of food at work and I am getting a bit worried but it's too soon to tell anyone (esp. my boss!)

 

[SBB]

Lou at least your body has sorted itself out it seems! Hope you're using something now?!

Lisa sorry about your finger we should re-name this thread to accident prone mums or something!! There seems to be at least one injury a week!

I believe the 2nd trimester is when you start to worry about things unless you are high-risk. I think it has to do with the abdominal muscles etc. If you get sharp pains when lifting, then you should probably take it easy, but if you feel fine doing it, I don't think its an issue early on.

The thumb actually barely hurts at all unless I bump it which tugs the stitch

 

[SBB]

Veronique tell them you've hurt your back and can't do it! I think thats quite heavy... Is it absolutely essential for you to do it? Or could someone else do it?

[lisaf]

You're so right Suz!! Lol!

X x x

Good idea I think I will say that

 

[SBB]

I think Lisa is right that its later it becomes an issue, and I think actually it's because it's so easy to hurt your back rather than anything else. But one of my friends did mention avoiding lifting in case of dislodging the sac and so that always worried me, although she could well have made it up!!

Hey guys. Sucks that when I finally post a video u can't see it! Get hi speed desktops! Ha. Lis sorry about yr digit! Glad yr ok.

Lou geez u need to give yr regularity to chell! She is dying for af! At least after her trip.

So how did laura pick up shae when preggo? I think she was fine doing it and he was prib 20 lbs!

V after first trimester I jogged or rode the bike everyday/ but didn't lift weights because I never have before. But if u are strong and used to the lifting isn't it ok? I thought it was ok if u are used to it.

 

[SBB]

Maybe it is casey! I lifted a fair few things and I was fine. But hey if you can get out of it why not

Lou I forgot to answer about the B... Just waiting for them to activate my SSL certificate and I'll let you know!

Hey suz! I am tired today. The weather is getting foggy and dark and chilly in the am and so hard to get out of the warm bed! I am starting to wish everything in our house was made of squishy foam so Jimmy would always have a comfy fall. We don't even have that much sharp edges or anything but when they get on the tiles and non carpet area it gets scarier. I still let him sit and crawl on the hard floor but he always ends up grabbing onto to something for leverage to try to stand and has fallen a few times. Face plants and backwards. Bonk!! I am always right there but don't always catch him. He face plants on the carpet too. He seems to get over it fast.

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't been on. Lili had a fever of 38.8 yesterday so had to collect her early from nursery, she hasn't slept and it so very very whingey... God help the people on the plane with us later tonight! I'm off to Hong Kong, but will check in whilst I'm away.

LOVE YOU ALL!!! xxx

p.s did I tell you it was Joe and my 5th anniversary this week? I got him some cufflinks made of silver with mini versions of Lili's handprints! They are gorgeous!

 

[laura6914]

afternoon all.:wave:

Lisa that thumb sounds painful

Lou, yey on another regular AF. Since January 2010 i have had 2 periods

Hey Suz, how we doing today.

Veronique, i would advise not to be lifting anything that heavy if it can be helped. Hope your feeling well. Any symptoms yet?

Casey, i still have to lift shae and he must be getting on for 24lb now. But i make him crawl up to me and stand up so i dont have to bend

 

[Euronova]

Hi Laura!

Getting close for you!!! How are you feeling? A bit of lifting my accelerate things at this stage

No many symptoms apart from HUGE painful boobs, tiredness and still on/off cramping.

Peach (will have to check the first page again to remind myself of everyone's name!), the cufflinks sound lovely!!! any pictures?

 

[lisaf]

Hi Lou, Suz, Casey, Marg

Congrats V!!!
Hubs and I are off to Chicago for a business trip, I have been working my tail off and can't wait to have some down time,,,, I have over 125 hours of PTO I need to take some days off that's with my two vacations this year soooo as you see I never take a day off....

The girls are sooo excited about Halloween!


and btw... here in the states... GO CARDS!!!!!!!
Love and miss you all, sorry I havent been on for a while, I just need to relax and not stress. I go back to the cardiologist Thursday so hopefully I will leave with a note saying GO DTD AND MAKE SOME BABIES for the FS!

 

[kcw81]

Oh verna tell us what the cardio says! Shoot your cards are in trouble! They have to win this next one! Miss ya.

 

[Smile4me]

yea yea I know but hey even if they lose it's OK we are still in the World Series!!!!
Texas is a GREAT team so may the BEST team win!

Are you dressing Jimmy up this year for Halloween?

 

[kcw81]

Probably not! I didn't buy anything but it would be fun to take him out to meet neighbors. I could just put a bow on his head and call him Jenny! Or what would be easy that doesn't involve hats?
