Early 30's TTC #1

[MsJMouse]

Thanks hun. I have Googled but what have you read/heard about flying when preggo? I read up to 32 weeks long haul or 36 short haul. First 12 weeks has higher chance of MC but in most cases ok to fly.2nd tri is better to fly. Oh I don't know what to do but am dying to go back after our washout in October!! X

I have to say I am not really sure about what the recommended cutoffs are, for some reason I have 6 months in my head. I know the travel insurance suggests rethinking travelling if more than 20 weeks.

And my NT scan went well at 13 weeks and 3 days, just made the cut-off mark! We told DH's family today! Soon we're going to announce it. I can actually say I'm pregnant now without holding my breath!

healthy, sticky, beautiful babies all around

Crumbs - that is great news. I am so happy for you. Did you get a pic??

 

[mrsmax]

Yay Crumbs. Telling everyone will be amazing - enjoy every second!!

I flew during my 1st trimester and returned just at the start of my 2nd trimester. I also planned the trip months ahead making sure to avoid travel in the 3rd trimester, in case we got lucky and got pregnant. Honestly, I wish I bought travel insurance! I think I would have canceled otherwise.

Traveling far (at least for me) sucked. Instead of doing all sorts of things while visiting my Mom, all I could do was sleep. I couldn't even buy 2 things at once because I got so tired!

If I were to do it all over again, I would have postponed our flight until we were safely in the 2nd trimester instead of going when we did. But it really wasn't all that bad, just as long as you're packed with snacks and water and willing to sleep it out.

Also, I avoided any of the machines that weren't just metal detectors at the security check. In the States, no one batted an eye, but in Amsterdam (stopover) they tried giving me a hard time saying I needed to go through it, but I stood my ground and they finally allowed a normal search.

Crumbs - that is great news. I am so happy for you. Did you get a pic??

I got a pic but it wasn't very good at all. I've concluded that my midwife is terrible at that machine and now really hoping she's good at everything else

Rosa, I am so excited for you! Congratulations! And crumbs, how exciting getting your scan and being able to tell everyone! I have a scan on Tuesday (13+2 by my adjusted dates).

As for travelling whilst pregnant, here is a resource I found a few months ago that seems to have sensible advice.

Crumbs congrats on the good scan!!!!! What great news and I'm sure it's a HUGE sign of relief! Planning any fun ways to tell you family??

 

[rosababy]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! Rosa, I'm sooooooooooo happy for you!!!! x

Thanks, MrsP!!

Yay for Rosa. 2012 is looking promising for us all with 2 new BFPs.

Thanks MsJ! Hopefully the good luck spreads throughout this thread!

My sil flew to our wedding and then had her baby 2 days later. Of course, she's a midwife and probably could have delivered the baby herself. I don't know the official rules though.

OMG! Rosa!!! I'm so happy for you and Hopeful! I'm seriously tearing up here! In just a few days I got to remove 2 names from my signature list!

Let the momentum continue!!!

I'm not sure what their policy is at this hospital but at the very least they should let me grab a snap on my phone! Just got to make sure I get there on time - my appointment is 9.15am on the first working day after the Christmas break so not sure what traffic will be like! They're very strict about people not being late.

Happy New Year 2012 MJMouse as I know you're already in the new year.

It's mid day here. Soon lights, camera, action as we start our countdown. We usually begin around 7pm This year, however, I'll bring it in with sparkling cider.

Congrats again Rosa. Exciting times yes indeed.

Crumbs it's so great you're moving along. Congrats on a scan well done. 2nd trimester already. Glad you're able to announce it to everyone now. So happy for you.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks for the link Ready! I think we've decided we'll go, at most I'd be 5 months and I'll know within the next week if I am preggo, so if not would be 4 months max. I need something to look forward to.

Happy new year everyone!!! 2012 will be our year, for either those having 's or those awaiting their . I was a bit emotional at midnight, it's hard... But had a fab night and am rather hungover! x

 

[Crumbs]

I think you should go on the vacay. My dh and I put off so many vacays because we might be pregnant. Spain, Napa Valley...turns out we totally could have gone on them.

I'm sorry you were emotional at midnight. I know how hard it is. We all know. It's going to be a great year!!! Sorry you're hungover. My remedy is Kraft macaroni and cheese. An entire box.

 

[rosababy]

And where the heck is Soleil Breeze?!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks Rosa, we're just waiting for DH parents to confirm they're ok to dog sit & then we can book! . How are you? Have you told anyone yet? Will you be having an early scan to see how many you got in there? x

I'm fine. Totally bloated and really uncomfortable. Just bought my first mat pants because I literally can not button my jeans because of this darn bloat. I'm okay with it though... Have only told my BnB gals, and a few friends irl beacuse they were also going through ivf at around the same time. Yes, probably have a 6 week scan, and will find out how many buns are cooking then. Dh thinks 2, I think 1.

 

[MrsPTTC]

How many were put in again, 3?? I'm thinking . With being on clomid I would get an early scan too. After being horrified at the thought of twins I would now like them, I even have names for one of each . Sorry you're feeling bloated, I would like to say it'll get better but.... x

 

[mrsmax]

Happy New Year my lovely BnB ladies.

I am sooooooo excite to be in 2012. The year of the BFP/Baby xxxxx

We put 3 in. 2 were great quality, 1 was okay. Dh thinks twins too. I wouldn't mind twins...it's a bit scary, but instant family! And we'd never have to do this crap again! I know it'll only get worse. That's okay.

Thanks, hun. I'm excited about 2012 too. 2011 sucked. The year of the baby!

Ah you see if we ended up with twins I would still want another one! Do your HCG levels or beta or whatever it's called lol indicate whether more than one? Or is it only a scan? x
