Early 30's TTC #1

[MsJMouse]

Fuzzy has kicked a lot more today but I think I have noticed it more cause I have had some time to sit quietly.

I think I felt definite kicks at about 18-19weeks if I remember correctly. I was sitting at a football (AFL) game and felt three random "popping" sensations that I could not excuse as wind or stressed out tummy feeling (I get that a bit and this year has been exceptionally stressful).

Just wait till your DH feels the kicks. My DH's face still lights up like a kid at xmas . Its great.

I have only bought furniture so far. I think I am waiting till after my baby shower to buy stuff. Though we probably order a pram and car seat in the next month or so.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aw yes I can't wait for dh to feel it. Though he's a bit squeamish about the whole thing, I think it's cos his friend didn't like feeling their baby & he's been brainwashed! I hope he likes it when the time comes...I'm honestly so organised, the furniture we want is now on offer half price so dh is going to order it tonight on his way home from work, my mum has ordered the car seat & isofix today too! We decorated the nursery when I was only 11 weeks because it was our last week off together before due date, but its literally just painted, no accessories or anything, I feel quite embarrassed that I'm almost done at 18 weeks but at least I won't be stressed at Xmas & can spend early 2013 relaxing before baby p is born x

Hey ladies...

Not much is new here. i had a doctor's appointment yesterday and heard the heartbeat for the first time. i was pretty relieved - my NT scan is tomorrow and i'm so paranoid that i'm going to experience a MMC. But i think at this point (12 weeks tomorrow), things look pretty good. It's hard to believe there's a baby in there. i'm just beginning to show (and have had some strange looks from staff members - only my principal and assistant know). i'm planning on shopping for some maternity clothes this weekend, specifically pants as i'm struggling to do up many of my pairs. i have a bella band which works but it's really uncomfortable by the end of the day.

i have not bought anything yet. i think after the scan tomorrow i'll be a little more at ease (and it will look much more like a baby than a blob - very exciting) and i'll probably start thinking about what i want to do in the nursery. We're team yellow as well, so i'm thinking probably green decor.

 

[MsJMouse]

I can understand the worry before your scan. I was the same. I think it has only been since the scan at 19weeks that I feel more positive about this baby. good luck with your scan.

Wow there is a few of us who are team yellow. Should make early next year exciting.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Awww Aisak you're 12 weeks & a plum! your scan is so exciting, I was shocked by how much baby had changed since my last scan at 9+2, have you had any early scans or is this your very first? GL with the scan Hun. Can't wait to see a pic x

P.s you're so lucky showing so early, mine is getting there (eventually) though people close to me noticed the bump weeks ago, to other people I've just looked like I've eaten too many pies x

 

[MsJMouse]

I am the same MrsPTTC. Only started showing around 18weeks and a lot of ppl had to look twice this week when it mentioned.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Glad I'm not the only one msjmouse!

Think we need some bump pic photos from our preggo ladies Will upload one of my little one at the weekend x

[readyORnot]

yes yes bump pics please!

 

[Aisak]

We had a scan at 7 weeks 3 days and we saw the heartbeat but at that point it mostly looked like a blob. But that flicker was the best thing i've ever seen! We had out NT scan yesterday (we don't have the results yet) and it looks like a baby! S/he wasn't real active - taking a nap i guess. Though there were some hiccups and waves. It's so unreal.

As far as showing i think lots of it is likely bloat and constipation (BRUTAL). But my lower abdomen is beginning to stick out and harden a little (i can feel my uterus). Plus, i'm a fairly small person and most people at work know our struggle to get pregnant so they're on high alert. i don't have a huge bump by any means but it's too much to suck in anymore, that's for sure.

Hi everyone :wave: Hope all are well. Aisak, I cant believe you are in the 2nd tri already - that seemed to speed by. Did you get the results of your nuchal scan?

I really need to work out how to upload photos on here - I have been a member for nearly 2 years and never uploaded a photo except an avatar (which I then deleted!).

All good here - went to paris with DH last week and it was wonderful, although did a lot of walking and had to rest every 10 mihutes on the second day. Had no idea how shattering it is walking around with a big bump!! Am now back at work and coounting down until mat leave on 7th Dec (6ish weeks to go!!). Dh has started on the nursery and he is loving being able to do something constuctive for baby. Only bad news is, that my ms has returned - feels like it never really went a way. Not as bad as before, but spend about 60% of the day feeling quesy

How are the TTcers? Any news or updates?

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hi ladies, sorry I never posted bump pics but i will!

How's your bump doing Aisak?

Mrsmax glad everything is going well but sorry your ms is back! You must post nursery pics once finished!

My 20 week scan was today, was great! Much clearer than 12 week! But baby P was being naughty so need to go back in 3 weeks for another scan to check some part of the heart & the front of the face. At least we get another scan I guess! Heart HB too will post pics soon x

Hey Girls...

Hows everyone doing..?

I am sorru havent been much around as nothing much has been happening at my end...!

My TSH level are still elevated and also my AMH is high. Have been prescribed metformin now..and DH is prescribed CoQ 10 so lets see if its gonna change anything..!!!

The witch has become pretty much unpredictable....not regular anymore....Have to get HSG done next month..! Not sure about it as I am unsure about the tubes...!!!

Hope everyone's progressing well with the pregnancies, it feels like I am the only odd one so refrain myself from posting cause I do not want to spread any kind of negativity in this thread where theres good news every where...!

Sorry for being a downer...hopefully I will have some good news to share soon..!!

Love you all and here's wishing you all healthy pregnancies and delivery.

Take care...!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aww Jogu don't be silly Hun! We're here to support you so rant or cry away! Soleil is in the same boat, & regal... Hope you TTC- ers are all ok! Sorry your cycles are a bit irregular but fxd the drugs work x

 

[readyORnot]

^^^WSS^^^

 

[rosababy]

aww, jogu. i'm sorry you're feeling like that in here. I understand though. I had a thread where I was the LAST one to get preggo and it was brutal. most of the ladies had their babies months before I even got pregnant. hang in there. we still want updates on you.

mrsp, glad to hear your 20 week scan went well!

mrsmax, welcome home from paris! i'm so incredibly jealous that you went there. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it was to walk around! we went to new orleans when I was 17 weeks and it was so tiring.

afm, jack is doing well. sleeping better, eating better, spending some time awake and not screaming, so that's a victory! we're going to try to wean him off of the expensive formula so we'll see how that goes. hopefully he doesn't have a really sensitive tummy because that crap is expensive!

 

[jogu07]

Thank you all. Your support means a lot...!

The witch knocked me off yesterday at CD 32 so that is a good sign rite...!

I am CD 2 today and have to get HSG done next week. Hope atleast the tubes are clear.

Metformin is making me sick, ladies say that it is a miracle drug so keeping my fingers crossed.

Wow...Jack is one month already, time sure does fly..!

Glad that your scan went well MrsP...!

MrsMax, a holiday..that sounds cool..!

Love you all...!!!

 

[pink80]

Jogu - the metformin made sick for a couple of weeks, are you building up the dose slowly? It was a miracle drug for me - regulated my cycle to 29 days from over 40 odd days at times. Plus i think it's the only reason I'm carrying this baby now - my testosterone level was too high for a baby to form properly until I took it - fingers crossed it works for you xxx

 

[MsJMouse]

Good luck with HSG Jogu. I hope metformin is a miracle drug for you.

 

[Aisak]

Hi everybody! i hope all is well. Fingers crossed for you Jogu. As for me, our NT scan results were normal and i have my first OB appointment on the 5th. i'm definitely starting to show - i've moved on to maternity pants as the bella band makes me crazy by the end of the day. My bump is by no means huge, but it sure makes my normal pants unbearable. And the boobs...jeez. Out of control.

Hugs to everyone. xo.

 

[MrsPTTC]

And the boobs...jeez. Out of control.

Snap! Mine were only small at a B cup but I got fitted for a new bra today and have jumped to a D cup!! I still think they're small though TBH I haven't been measured for years so I suspect I was probably a C cup in the wrong size bra . Glad your NT result was good aisak! Scan and bump pics?!

Jogu GL with the HSG hun! Hope it's not painful, mine was fine!

Pink - can't believe how far along you are!

Hi to everyone else
