hormone crash after ERPC

[hopie2015]

Oh wow Blu-- congrats on baby boy-- a baby brother for DS just like he wanted!!! So awesome! Glad you had a great weekend. That must be sooo cool all the movement you guys are feeling now.
3 boys for the group. I still am feeling girl for Jaspie!

Fit- that is funny DH hates the doppler. Is the discomfort during walking only temporary for a few weeks? Are you able to do yoga? I remember you used to do that often, right?
Glad you are feeling great! Thank you so much for all your positive encouragement.

Jaspie- glad the appetite is better now so you can eat more but sorry about the heartburn. I can't believe you are just about 12 weeks already either! Time really is flying.
No more fake drinking after next week!

Nice you had a girls wknd with your SIL, Bernie. Did you guys get some baby shower planning in? So awesome!! And thanks-- yes, practice for ttc.. Much needed after these draining, stressful months. DF has been so beyond deprived..lol.

Blu- what are 'chewy rennies'? They sure sounded helpful last time,, I hope you and Jaspie can find them. So nice you and DH bought cute new little outfits. I have this urge to go out and buy each of you guys a newborn outfit. They are the cutest things ever!

Walk to Brooklyn was great but long. 12 hour walking day. I'm still beat. So nice to get back to normalcy and just keep hoping/praying mom and dad continue to get better. Appt. with ob/gyn is next week to find out the test results on the miscarriage.
I thank you all again so much for the encouragement to ttc. I hope I join your baby train very, very soon!!!

Enjoy Monday, everyone! xxxx

Hey girls! so glad to hear you had nice weekends! blu I hope that heartburn fades, mines been on and off and I just eat tums with every meal and hope for the best!Jaspie, so great you get to let everyone know soon! its so hard to keep it to yourself for that long!Fit I think those kicks will be coming more often now! They get a little stronger each week! Hopie- that walk sounds amazing!! My weekend was nice, we did get some shower planning in. we are having it Oct 24. and doing a storybook theme shower so we are planning appetizer foods that fit in with the theme of a children's book... like spinach and bacon quiche for green eggs and ham Also we are asking for books with messages instead of cards for the baby. I cant wait, she is working on invites now. Yesterday was really nice too i got to have lunch with both my mom and MIL.... It was nice to have them together since in the 9 years we've been together they've been in the same room like 4 times! and I know Jameson will bring our families closer

 

[Blu10]

Hey everyone.
Bernie your shower sounds like such fun and the theme aounds great.
Fit i hope baby is still kicking away, its so cool isnt it?
Jaspie its nearly D day and so exciting.
Hopie im glad you had a nive weekend with DF and i cant wait to hear your baby news very very soon.
After my scan the sonographer was convinced my bleed has totally resolved so DH and I finally managed to DTD again yesterday after a significant drought for 12 weeks. Weve been so snappy with each other lately and had a good talk over the weekend and felt like we just were not able to be as close and its really affected our relationship. Looking forward to getting things back on track now and Ive had no bleeding since DTD thank god.
Im going to invest in some Tums i think Bernie, definitely worth a try x

 

[jaspie]

Hi girls! Also loving the theme Bernie! Green eggs and ham is a great idea, how many weeks will you be when you have it?
Hopie glad your mom and dad are getting better and you're enjoying being back to normalcy! Can't wait for you to join the baby train too
Blu yay your bleed has resolved! Must be such a relief! Glad you're back to dtd yay! I'm still a bit scared to even though my spotting was 6 weeks ago now!
Hope all is good fit!
I'm feeling a bit crap the last couple of days, I've got a cold and a headache so hoping they both go asap. Having some twinges either side of my stomach too which am hoping are just stretching pains! Scan is a week today! It was my old due date yesterday and strangely I didn't really think about it much and am not feeling sad, I guess hardly anyone gives birth on their due date anyway! I think all my energy is going on praying this lo is okay, i just want next week to come now! After seeing him so lively with a strong heartbeat at 10.5 weeks I can't imagine that anything has gone wrong but I just want it confirmed!

 

[bernie86]

Blu, so glad you and dh were finally able to dtd! 12 weeks is a long time! with everything going on and the stress and frustration I think any couple would be having some tension so im glad you guys are good. Jaspie- those pains are probably just stretching, Ive gotten those too... good for you not stressing about the due date yesterday, Im proud of you! Im already having a little trouble with the idea that I was supposed to be holding my girl sometime this week, and doing the room prep just reminds me. But Im trying to remain grateful that she was sent to heaven so that Jameson could be sent to us. Ill be 35 weeks at the time of my shower, which may be cutting it close but we have so many events starting in September that its pretty much the only weekend we could do that my best friends and close family would at least be free.

 

[Blu10]

Morning ladies. Sorry youre struggling with you little girls due date Bernie but I agree Jameson was sent as your rainbow and hes meant to be! Your shower sounds like fun.
I had the stretching too Jaspie, very normal at this point, are you feeling fuller or bloated yet?
All ok here, baby was quieter yesterday so hope he has a party to reassure me today. Im off work and waiting for the garage to collect my car to repair the damage from the accident then ill be heading out with DS and my parents as its my birthday today.
How are you both fit and hopie?
Have a good day all xx

 

[hopie2015]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't get to sign on yesterday-- happy to see all the great updates! My car broke down..3 times..lol..long story. I can't even believe the repair cost..but I won't go into it. Life back in the city when I walked everywhere is sounding really good right now.
Anyway- that is great about you and DH, Blu!! So great the bleeding is all gone. It was over 12 weeks for me and fiance too..with all the stress going on..plus now we are only together one or two nights on weekends.
I'm glad you guys got to talk and now things should be going better for the both of you.

Jaspie- sorry you feel sick.. Hope you get to just rest and relax all weekend? I hear you with just putting all your energy and prayer into your new lo.
Hope the Tums are helping you guys? That has been an ongoing issue for my mom since surgery and she was up all night with it-- so far, we haven't found anything that truly helps it.

Bernie - great baby shower theme..that is so creative! I am so not creative like that. Books instead of cards is such a great idea!
I'm sorry it is rough this week with thinking your baby girl would be here.. I am right with ya.
It's a very strange feeling for me.. hard to describe. I do have to trust this all happens for a reason. And yes, baby Jameson sure will bring your families closer!

Fit- how are you doing?

So I guess this is the week to ttc. And hope to get to city with DF Friday and Sat night if all stays good on the home front here. So, we shall see!! Have wonderful days/evenings in UK, and great birthday celebration, Blu! xxxx

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Bernie prayers for your angel daughter in heaven...I'm sorry you're struggling though I know how you feel. Glad Baby Jameson is here to be your rainbow.

Happy birthday Blu!! Hope you have a wonderful day and get spoiled.

Hopie sorry about your car and I hope your mom's heartburn goes away. Have they tried prescribing something for it? My DH takes a prescription heartburn pill and he raves about it.

Jaspie you must be getting close to 12 weeks, woo hoo!!! What day is your next scan? Mine is next Thursday.

Afm I talked to a cousin of mine about her loss (she lost her little boy at 37 weeks, I can't even imagine). Her doctor thought there might be a family connection too but it was never proven or disproven. But unlike my angel hers was perfectly healthy and they think her placenta failed and caused her loss, whereas my placenta was normal and healthy. So it doesn't really sound like our losses have anything in common other than we both lost boys.

 

[jaspie]

How awful for your cousin Fit, that's so scary that that can happen. Hugs to you both

Hopie I'm sorry about your car, how annoying. Unexpected costs are the worst. So exciting you're getting back to ttc! Whoop whoop!! When are you due to ovulate?

Sending you hugs Bernie and thinking of you. These angel due dates can be rough. I think 35 weeks is a great time for a baby shower!

Happy birthday Blu!! Hope you have a fabulous day. Have you got plans? Hope baby Blu has done a birthday dance for you and you're feeling reassured

Yes I'm feeling bloated all the time. I'm such a moaner all the time atm too! I've got a cold and a cough and my nausea is still here plus headaches on and off. My hips have started aching today so God knows what that is as baby is not big enough to cause that yet though I'm sure it can all be put down to hormones! I'm 12 weeks on Sunday and my scan is on Tuesday at 9.30am. This week is dragging so much!

 

[Blu10]

Hi ladies, just got into bed and baby blu has woken up and is having a proper fidget and kick about in there 😊
I had a lovely day shopping with my parents and DS, managed to sort the remainder of his uniform (how is my baby about to start school!!) and bought a few nice bits for baby too.
Sorry to hear about your car Hopie, mines gone in for repair today so i also have to find the excess bill. I think everything does happen for a reason and now your parents are better i hope this is the right time for your rainbow baby, sorry this week is tough xx
Jaspie i suspect the hormones are causing some hip pain and your ligaments will be looser. Do you have any weekend plans to make time go quicker for tuesday?
Fit that news about your cousin is incredibly sad, a friend of mine lost a baby at 40+4 2 years ago, just devastating. How are you feeling now, baby Jameson wiggling around more?
Thanks for the birthday wishes xx

 

[jaspie]

I can't imagine losing a baby so late when you think everything is fine. So devastating.
Blu I read your post wrong and for a minute I thought you meant you bought baby Blu some bits ready to start school! I was like woah that is organised! Glad he woke up and starting kicking loads.

Yes probably ligaments softening I guess, my office chair isn't the most comfortable anyway but yesterday it was terrible I was constantly shifting trying to get comfortable.
I've had dull aches either side and ovary twinges on and off this last week, they're not painful at all bit it's a bit worrying as it's new. I didn't have this with my mmc so I guess that's good but I wish my scan was here so I can see all is OK. I'm guessing it's stretching as the uterus starts to rise up this week, what did all of your stretching pains feel like?

Ps no plans this weekend Blu it it will probably go fast, it usually does!

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Jaspie hope you're feeling better...it sounds like your body is making extra room for Baby J. Hope your cold goes away, such a drag when you can't take any meds.

Hopie enjoy your TTC week! Baby dust to you!

Blu glad Baby Blu had his own party for you. Have you and DH thought of any names yet?

How are you Bernie?

When I turned on the doppler last night Baby Thomas started completely wallopping me!!! I could hear amniotic fluid swishing around each time he wound up and booted me! His last kick was especially a doozy...it was like he was playing whack-a-mole in there LOL. So pleased as I have an anterior placenta.

Feeling a little guilty I just played the pregnancy card for the first time to get a seat on the (full) bus...

 

[Blu10]

Haha go fit, enjoy and dont feel guilty. Glad jameson is kicking around.
Jaspie that would be funny, however im in denial that this babe will ever go to school, hes going to stay tiny forever 😉
As for the pains id describe it as a cross between ovulation, period and growing pains. I had it in my lower tummy last night extending into my legs and knees which ive not had before but it was painful enough to take paracetamol.
I cant believe its friday already! Nearly time to let the secret out Jaspie 😊 DH and I have a date night tonight which will be good then im off to a baking show with my mum tomorrow and family day sunday . We had the decorator over last nite to quote for doing DS room and the nursery so they should be painted the first week in september and then we can crack on with sorting both rooms. I know its only august but im starting my xmas shopping mid sept in case baby arrives early eeeeeek xx

 

[jaspie]

Thanks both, great Blu that is what mine feel like too so that's a relief!

Fit great news you are getting some solid kicks from Thomas even with your anterior placenta! Don't feel guilty about playing the pregnancy card to get a seat, I'm totally going to do that on the train as soon as my bump pops!

I can't believe it's Friday already either! 4 more sleeps yay! You are super organised doing the Christmas shopping early, definitely needed in case baby Blu comes early. I wouldn't fancy going Christmas shopping heavily pregnant anyway with all the crowds! Good news plans for decorating are coming together too

Hope everyone has a nice weekend, just another quiet one for me

 

[hopie2015]

Hi all! Glad all you guys are doing great! Jaspie- sorry you have that cold still and the pains-- yes, that sure must be from the stretching. Hope you get more comfortable soon. Someone pg at work used to have to get up every 20 mins to walk around/stretch..that helped her. Office chairs can be so uncomfie. Just a few more days 'til your next scan..Yay! Glad you have a quiet weekend planned to rest and kick the cold for good. And the nausea- maybe next week that should finally ease!

Yes Blu- glad you had a great birthday with everyone! Yes- better get the Christmas shopping done early this year!! How cool you are feeling baby Blu kicking like crazy. Sounds like you're feeling good now and I'm glad. I always heard people feel best in second tri, huh?

Fit- I am so sorry about your cousin's loss. Like J. said, I can't even imagine experiencing a later loss. Yes, sounds like that is not a family connection. That is awesome all you heard with the doppler! Is DH liking the doppler more now?! Good for you for getting yourself a seat. I often wonder in NYC- do men still offer their seats to pg women. I admit to actually looking forward to playing that pg card. Oh funny story- I was the moodiest/scariest person alive during my 8th week. I was on an overcrowded train and this typical looking Finance dude gets on the overcrowded train (ride was 1 hour), sits next to me- turns on his laptop and chats on his phone. I told him, 'excuse me, I am pregnant and I'm not comfortable with you and your laptop practically on top of me and chatting away on your phone. I need to rest". Now, never in my life have I said/done anything like that. He looked at me scared as all hell, apologized, got up and went to a different car. LOL He actually probably was a nice guy and I frightened him.
I told DF when he picked me up and right then DF knew he was in for a very long 9 months. That mood scared me...Hormones, geez!!

Off to doctor now to get my heart palpitations checked out. They won't stop even though stress has eased. J- this weekend would be THE time for ttc. Let's see what doc says and then I better go have a fun wknd with DF.

Have lovely weekends everybody!!!!!! Take good care. and Bernie- hope your week has been a good one!

 

[Blu10]

Hey everyone how was the weekend??
All ok here had a lovely date nite with DH on friday and went to a baking festival with my mum on saturday then a chilled family day with DH and DS yesterday which was nice. DS went to bed early so we watched prison break.... totally loving that series and cant believe we havenr watched it before!
Back to work today and Ive developed a bit of a cold booooo. Look forward to all the updates x

 

[Blu10]

Ps fit were totally lost on names so ideas gratefully received 😊

 

[jaspie]

Hey ladies, hope you all had nice weekends. Hopie hope you managed to get some bd in! Looking forward to your update!
Blu the baking festival sounds fun. Did you get to eat lots of cake? I haven't seen prison break either heard it's good though!
I'm 12+1 and it's scan day tomorrow! both excited and nervous! Just want today to fly by so tomorrow comes quickly. My mantra is all was good at 10+3 and there's no reason it won't still be tomorrow.

 

[Blu10]

Amazing Jaspie, you can go public tomorrow im so excited for you!!
Yes I had the most gorgeous carrot cake and fudge yummy ☺

 

[hopie2015]

Hi! Glad you both had great weekends. Fudge and the carrot cake -YUM! So glad you and DH had such a great date nite, Blu!
Jaspie- tomorrow is almost here - yayy!! So excited for you. I love your mantra and it is right on! Will be such a great feeling to finally tell everyone.
Hope Fit and Bernie had great weekends.

DF and I had a great wknd..walked to Brooklyn again, ate too much. Tried with the bd but think I have my dates off. Haven't been tracking and well, doubt anything happened. But sure fun none the less and feel more normal now, getting back to city with DF on weekends. I guess I am just really scared to fully try again.
Took my mom for echo results today- DF so sweet- he went in with her. Not the results we were hoping to hear but not terrible either. Doctor said most important is she is now feeling better, doing rehab and to just go with that. So I will go with that and keep praying every day. Her attitude and love of being alive just amazes me and makes me so grateful for each day we all have here together.

So looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow Jaspie. Take good care everyone and Blu- rest that cold well! xxxx
