hormone crash after ERPC

[jaspie]

Yes I bet that was hard to get your head around when you'd already come to terms with your period arriving! I'm not sure it'll feel real until 12 week scan when everything is ok. I'll have 2 scans before then anyway so hopefully it'll feel real sooner but the 12w scan is really a block that i need to get past before I'll really believe I could be bringing this baby home. This pregnancy already feels different so fx that's a good thing!

I know my DH is such a numpty isnt he! As if going on holiday with a baby potentially a few days old could possibly be a good idea? 😲
Jaspie it took ages for me to get my head around this pregnancy and each time I feel I have weve had problems so I still feel a bit weird thinking that we may eventually have a baby to bring home! I really hope that we do fingers crossed. I think I may have felt little popping sensations the last few days but they seem too high to be baby so I wonder if it is just gas. Ill feel more reassured now when i can feel baby move i think.
Bernie 35 weeks sounds a fab time for a shower 👍

I'll post more later but just a quick update to say Baby Fit aced the anatomy scan and the blood tests and is beautiful and healthy, measuring a couple of days ahead and as low risk for chromosomal abnormalities as humanly possible!!!

DH and I are so relieved and ecstatic. Thanks so much as always for being there - you girls are the greatest.

 

[jaspie]

Yes!!!! Fit i could not be happier for you! You so deserve this you must be so relieved xx

 

[Blu10]

Whoop whoop go baby Fit and mummy!! Delighted for you all ☺xx

 

[bernie86]

So glad to hear it Fit!!! thats great news!!! now you can just relax a little and start to enjoy this baby!

Hi girls!

Bernie that is great that you have your 18 week scan coming up, it will be amazing to see how big your son will be!! With my last pregnancy they had booked my "20 week scan" for 18 weeks as well, so maybe they do things a little differently here too? Can't believe your DH wanted a combination baby's room/man cave/weight room...OMG, men. Glad he's re-thought the wisdom of that one! Sorry you were missing your dad yesterday, my DH was too. I believe they're looking out for their grandbabies from heaven.

Blu, hope your headache goes away, I've been getting them fairly regularly this pregnancy too. Glad your DH realizes that a vacation with a 2-4 day old baby might not be the best idea!! Hopefully you start feeling movement soon, that will be amazing.

Jaspie, glad the implantation bleeding has fizzled out, and yes I know what you mean about it not feeling real. The first thing I thought when I saw those 2 lines was "it can't be, this was way too easy!" The first few weeks are the hardest I find, but before you know it, it will be time for your 7 week scan and you'll get to see little bean with a beautiful heartbeat...and then 12 weeks will roll around and you'll get to see kicks and waves - I'm glad it already feels different from the last time. I just know it will be great for you.

Hopie, hope all your mom's tests went well, and glad you have your DF by your side. I second what everyone else said and hope things turn around for you soon and you have a wonderful summer.

I've posted a couple of pictures of Baby Fit. Things could not have possibly been more perfect, both with the scan and the bloodwork. The genetic counselor told us "it's okay, you can breathe now." After how wrong everything went last pregnancy, we are so grateful for how right it is going now. Feeling so much better!

 

[jaspie]

Look at baby fit! What a cutie! So glad you can start to enjoy your pregnancy now.

 

[Blu10]

Oh fit your baby is a beauty! Glad all was well, how are you feeling now?
I woke up headache free today woooo hooooo ☺

 

[hopie2015]

Whoo-hoo Fit!! Congratulations. Certainly all the tests could not have been more perfect!! We are all so thrilled for you on this beyond well deserved news!! You guys must be over the moon!

Bernie you are so right about counting my blessings. I am sure Sunday was very hard but am glad you and your mom ended up having as nice of a day Sunday as you did and also agree with Fit that your dad and Fit's FIL are looking down from Heaven on your soon-to-be born babies!
Great advice to Jasp on the bleeding. I remember so well you said AF arrived and you guys were going to Vegas! Seems so normal to have first tri bleeding.
So cool the nursery is painted and you have your shower date!
That is just too funny about DH's comment. My friend had a very similar fight with her husband about the man cave/nursery idea while she was pregnant! She said though the entire last trimester he was acting strange-- he painted the garage floor.. She said he just wasn't thinking straight! Maybe that is what goes on with men's minds. I just don't know. Today though I have the recurring thought that guys are CLUELESS!
G

Jaspie! You sound great! Fit gave such helpful advice with the early scans and then your 12 week scan. I have SUCH a great feeling for you!

Blu- thanks for spelling the show out for me! I am so not with the times lately. I do need to watch that show sometime. I feel like I'm stuck in a timewarp.. away from the city..at my parent's house all day..My mom first went to the hospital 3 months ago this week. Time just flies.
I laughed so hard about DH's comment on the vacation. Wow! Taking the baby away a few days out of the hospital. Again, just men not thinking straight! Funny you have a feeling you guys will have 2 boys. My girl hunch is probably wrong. I'll update you in a few more months. I agree- love new babies in all white. No need to buy colors!
Glad headache got better and work has been quiet..that is the best.

So glad for the happy updates! Keep 'em coming. xxxx

 

[Blu10]

How interesting that two of you lovely ladies have a pink hunch for me, hopefully we will know in 8 weeks! We cant take DS with us for the 20 week scan so I am a little tempted to book a gender scan before then as he keeps asking what baby looks like in my tummy and I think it would be amazing for us to find out together whether hes getting a brother or a sister.
You sound more positive today Hopie, how did your mum get on at her appointment? OITNB is really good, definitely worth watching if you get time x

 

[hopie2015]

How is everyone today? Beautiful day here! Thanks Blu-- I am *trying* to be more positive. Like Bernie said, have to count my blessings. My mom's stress test went surprisingly well! Thanks for asking. Though she says it was pathetic -- only 2 minutes on the treadmill at 1 mph, but hey..she did it and I can get her into the 12 week cardiac rehab program now!
Yes- sure would be awesome if the 3 of you can find out if DS is having a brother or sister together! Hopefully you can work that out.
How are you feeling today?
Definitely have to check out that show soon. Have Netflix but never use it!
Hope you're feeling good today. I think I finally feel how a new mom feels with lack of sleep. My mom was up most of the night.. she has a lot of bad gas since the surgery.. I am so sleep deprived. DF is going to be here tonight, so hopefully I can catch up on a few missed night's sleep!

Take care and looking forward to updates Jaspie, Bernie and Fit!

 

[jaspie]

Blu it would be so good to all find out what you're having together! And then you find out earlier too! (I can't wait to hear! Do it do it!)

Hopie I'm so glad your mum did well on her stress test! That's great news. Hope you manage to catch up on some sleep tonight. Everything looks better after a good night's sleep. Good for you with the positivity, i hope life gives you a break so that you can get yourself back to normal. It's moving in the right direction with your mum starting her rehabilitation right?

Afm I'm shattered, all good here though! Looking forward a quiet weekend before everything gets crazy in July as we are busy for the next 3 weeks with a trip to London, a festival and a 30th birthday!

 

[bernie86]

ahhh you have a crazy July too! we are seriously never going to be home on the weekends in July! my poor puppies! August is going to be my only month to accomplish anything for the babies arrival. Then Sept. begins our weddings and events and blah blah all the way up to the week before Im due. But I cant wait for this weekend to get stuff done and next weekend is a 3 day weekend thank goodness! Hope everyone is having (or had) a nice Wednesday!!

 

[Blu10]

Hey everyone.
Im feeling well thanks Hopie, my appetite is awful, tea was a bowl of cereal again tonight 😕 the headaches seem to be improving which is good. Im glad youre mum did well with her test, hope your dad is ok too!
Bernie it feels as though 2nd tri is really flying by for you, you will gave your boy here before you know it, have you settled in jameson?
Jaspie im glad you feel shattered, all good signs that baby J is zapping you appropriately.
Xx

 

[hopie2015]

Wow- you girls are busy!! I have absolutely nothing on my July calendar. There is some ridiculously fancy, over expensive wedding my parents were invited to in a few weeks, that my mom wants me to go with my dad. Would so love to experience that but unfortunately the news from doctor today is still no improvement on my dad. Praying for another miracle in July. Thanks Jaspie- yes, I feel if life is kinder for a bit, I can get a footing and get back to normal. Going to wait starting a med, but will go back to that therapist I saw in the winter time who was very helpful. It's expensive, but worth it.
Got the bills for d and c.. I mean seriously $9,000?? Insurance paid 80% of that. Crazy how much it cost!

Glad head is better Blu. Do you have no appetite or is it nausea making you not want to eat a lot?

Yes Bernie, wondering if you guys are set on Jameson as his name yet? I do love that name!

Jaspie- how far do you live from London? You sure have a fun July planned! Thank you -- yes, starting rehab is a step in the right direction for my mom, and catching up on sleep sure will provide more sanity for me!

Have a wonderful evening~

 

[bernie86]

Jameson is still the only name that both of us like, but after the man cave fiasco I havent brought anything else up to discuss with him about the baby this week. maybe after our scan on Monday we will be feeling a name discussion If you ask me, thats his name. I literally cant think of a name that would be better for him.

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Hi girls!

Hopie sorry your dad isn't doing well but glad your mom passed her stress test even if she thought it was too easy. Yikes that d&c was pricy, glad insurance covered most of it. That is one benefit to our healthcare system in Canada I guess. I can't imagine getting a bill for a procedure you never wanted in the first place!

Jaspie it sounds like you have a fun summer planned! Hopefully the tiredness eases off, that is one of the tough parts of the first trimester.

Blu that would be really neat for your DS to be there when you found out the gender...I'd be tempted to pay for a private scan too!

Bernie hopefully your DH is still on board with Jameson! Can't wait to hear about your scan.

We have several busy weekends in a row coming up too...don't know when I'm going to sleep!

 

[jaspie]

Agreed fit, thank god for the NHS. Hopie i live about 2 hours train ride from London, we used to live there for 18 months which was great but expensive!

Hope DH agrees with you about Jameson's name Bernie. Yay for your scan on Monday!

 

[bernie86]

Hopie- I feel you on the big D&C bill! mine is about 2k as well, but Im still battling with my insurance because they have denied all january claims, even though I had coverage... big pain in the booty! And thank you American Health care reform
Thank you all for the positive feedback on the name that makes me so happy! My brother in law actually brought up Jameson last night ( because he was drinking the whiskey) lol and suggesting middle names and hubby sounded pretty on board! but like I said Im not bringing it up til after the scan... I feel like He gets more excited when he gets to see him. but the new middle name selection is Jameson Luc ( which I love even though Luc is for a LA kings hockey legend) but thats if hubby doesnt pick his name (Frank) for the middle name
