happy 6 weeks xxx

sb and 9, I'm sorry I didn't post. You both have been in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking about your losses seemed to amplify my own. Please forgive me.

05mummy07, I wanna see your bfp pics too.

Mal, adorable kitten. He already has a fiesty little expression.

Sweet_Alida, sorry your little girl's surgery didn't go well. I do hope that you can get some rest soon, you need it. Praying for her recovery and your rest.

Babyhopes, that's completely normal with the doppler. You may hear glimpses and not see a number, or see the number flash and not actually hear it. Where every you are pointing the doppler when you see the number flash, just turn your transducer kinda in a semi-circle trying very slightly different angles. 208 and 170 something isn't you, that's your baby.

Candice, sorry about all the contrax. I don't know why they call it false labor, there is nothing false about it. Why don't they call it practice labor, or preparing labor, but not fasle labor. You did all that you were supposed to, maybe next time down a big glass of water, that always makes a big difference too. I go through long spells of contrax late in pregnancy like that, it's not fun.

Katie, how are you feeling? Getting better?

Megg, has this time around been more stressful? I would think it would be. Your embie is beautiful, that amazes me.

Amanda, gorgeous sono pic, as always. She's a pretty little girl. Loved the video, he's a cutie.

My updates are on my chart, I'm a total nutcase. Losing my mind, I swear. I can't wait for this cycle to be over, I think I'll be able to deal better next time around.

Not sure about the chart... Sometimes the first after a loss is a bit wacky!

Yes... Much more stressful! There feels like there's tons more riding on it this time! Thank you! I'm proud of my little bundle of cells! I just hope that its growing and hatching and implanting!!!

I promised test pics and never followed through. Sorry! World's worst BFP... because I should have waited about 1.5 days after my shot to test instead of 9 hours. But the faint line is enough to tell me it made it into my body. So, that was good enough for me. The BFN under it is from today to prove that the trigger is out of my system. So, anything I get from here on out (if I get a BFP) will be real. Sorry they aren't more exciting!

Candice, no puking in labor, it's just not allowed. I wish. Phenergan is nice. Really though, if you puke it pushes your baby lots lower. Just try not to pee on your feet. Sorry, that part isn't fun but holding your baby is and you're getting so much closer.

Megg, your little bundle of cells is simply beautiful. You seem more intense this time. I wish it were easy. Soon you'll know though, I wish I could make the time go by faster for a bit.

I am unsure what to think about o this time, I felt like I did already... O pains, ferning and cm decreased and a temp rise. Then I felt it all all over again on the other side, ferning came back and everything. Now I'm cramping so hard I feel useless to do anything. I can't blame this on the Femara because I didn't take it. I did soy though, and maca.

 

[Megg33k]

I wish I had answers for you, 10! Hopefully it get clearer soon.

I am more intense this time. Last time, I was sure it wouldn't work. This time, I know it COULD work. So, I feel like there's more hope and more room for heartbreak this time.

 

[Sweet_Alida]

Hey Girls. Sorry for not being around much. Been so busy with Alida. Her recovery is going a lot slower than expected. She finally took a bite of food yesterday after a week of not eating! I think she is finally on the right road to recovery! finally!
I haven't had a proper catch up and won't be able to until later. But I am back and will hopefully catch up soon!

 

[Sweet_Alida]

Hello girls got my positive today!!!!

How are you all? Missed you immensly.

Wow! congrats!!!!!! I am so happy for you. Pictures of the tests??? I'll pop over to test gallery and find them!

Alida's surgery didn't go well. We were suppose to be out of the hospital on Tues. morning but we didn't get to come home until Late Wed. night! Long story I will spare the details but we are home and she is doing much better. Still not eating but not vomiting anymore either! I'll do a proper catch up later. She isn't sleeping much so that means I am not either. I have gotten about 10hours of sleep total this week! not all at once either! poor me! I am a walking zombie.

whens ur scan hun?have u had one yet?

I've had 3 scans if you can believe that! LOL! My next appt and scan is April 25 and 29th. I have been referred to a perinatologist because of the complications I had with Alida's pregnancy at the end and my family history of IUGR. I see my OB on the 25th they may or may not do a scan and then I see the specialist on the 29th they will do a scan. I will get scans every month! yay! but I'm afraid I'm going to get sick of seeing 2 docs every month. Small price to pay for a healthy baby though.
when is your scan? We are all so close in EDD's! I can't wait to hit 2nd tri and be done with the MS! I am ready to get my appetite back and energy too!

 

[Sweet_Alida]

Megg I'm so glad you got the BFN now we can anxiously wait for it to turn positive again!

10 I'm sorry your having trouble this cycle. I hope it all gets sorted out soon.

Had a bit of a moment yesterday at the store. I had to let out the tiniest of toots while walking through the store...and it smelled like some one died! I mean honest it was soooo little. Just after a couple with a brand new baby walked by. just as my daughter started to smell my little ity bitty toot and said "someone has a pooper" and covered her nose!! I was so embarrased. I told her shhhhhh....I didnt tell hubby or her that the fart was me until AFTER we got home LOL

 

[Mal]

[05mummy07]

[mummylove]

[carterclan02]

Guys I am paranoid...I have had alot of swelling today and i have so been on taking my bloodpressure..When i first took it is prehypertensive..not to much concern there but when i took it just a min ago it was 131/91 and im only 25 weeks pregnant..I had preeclampsia with my daughter and im very very worried...could it just be one of those days or should i totally freak out?

 

[mommyof2peas]

LOL I notice that you didnt ask me on FB. lol I think it depends on what you've eaten today. I would take it every hour. Also take some time to rest. If it stays that high I would give a call...with your history it isnt something to mess with. Thats for sure

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey ladies!! How is everyone?? I am sorry I am a horrible stalker on here. I just can't seem to find time to BNB much lately. Gunner keeps me very busy...we have been having trouble BFIng all of a sudden and I got mastitis...OUCH!! He is nursing for a hour at a time then I still have to supplement formula...so I feel like I always have a boob out. LOL

 

[10nottoomany]

Reeds, nice to see you. I totally understand that he's keeping you busy, that's just what they do. Do you have someone to help you with breastfeeding? Mastitis is so painful, I'm assuming you already saw your dr. It can be caused from an improper latch and him not completely emptying the breast. The dr should give you antibiotics and it should help quickly. Watch for signs of yeast though, yeast on your nipples is more painful than mastitis and easy to treat, although difficult to recognize.

I have lots of breastfeeding experience and did some work helping breastfeeding moms. I don't want to discourage you but the more you supplement the less milk you will have. If you let him use you as a pacifier it will increase your milk. You are never truly empty because you are always making milk. So if you can stand for him to be attached more, who cares if you always have a boob out, that's what they're for anyway. Stopping the supplements will be good for you both. He will be more hungry at first but within a few days it will start balancing out.

I know it's hard and it's scary to just stop the supplements. I'm not telling you to do anythng I haven't done myself. My youngest was too early and the nicu insisted on using bottles even with breastmilk so they could measure what he was getting. He was just a few ounces over 5 pounds when we left and in that first week homehe went just under 5 pounds. It was scary, but I knew what we had to do to reverse the not so good path we were on. It was scary because he was already too tiny and didn't have extra weight to play with. I basically did nothing but try to get him to nurse for 2 weeks before he caught on enough to actually understand his part.

I guess I'm just saying consider what is important to you. If you want that long term nursing then ditch the supplements and just understand it's going to take being a pacifier, at least for now. I hope that your dr or midwife is taking food care of you and the mastitis will be behind you soon.

Mari, I know nothing about the bp stuff and considering you've had problems with it before I think you should call your dr. Good luck and keep us updated.

Amanda, no more tooting girl.

Beautiful bfp 05mummy07! Congrats!

Sweet Alida, praying for Alida's recovery and your rest.

Megg, how's the hatchng going? Thinking about you.

Katie, hi.

Night.

 

[babyhopes2010]

cos i dont want NT scan so they wont give me regular one

Im an officially a prune today

 

[mummylove]

[Megg33k]

I'd so take the NT scan just to get the scan! LOL Maybe that's me being daft though?

Hoping all is well with me. Not testing until Wed at 10dpo, and that's still a bit early. So, I dunno. Betas in 1 week.
