hormone crash after ERPC

[hopie2015]

So happy to see all the happy evening updates!
SO awesome Blu!!! So, so awesome!! Hope you can get lots of r&r in now these days before your new job.
Excellent Jaspie-- go with that positive gut feeling. Gut feelings are always right!
Thanks Bernie-- having that attitude sure does help a ton. Just hard for me to keep at all times. Sorry about your good friends.. That's tough. Have they tried couples counseling? Perhaps that could help.
Fit- hope you're having a great evening.

I am very upset for eating a half gallon of ice cream today..yes, half gallon. I have no pg excuse. Haven't done that in many years. Oh well! Going to relax with some yoga now. Take care~

Hi my lovelies, how are we? Apologies for the quick update last night.
Fit I love yhe idea of sonographer writing down the gender for you and OH yo find out together, what do you think?
Hopie how are your parents? Hope youre ok and are getting some time with DF. Dont worry about the ice cream 😉
any update on the spotting Jaspie? Hope you got a good sleep and the headache has gone.
Bernie i hope you get to go crib shopping this weekend, too exciting.
Ive had a lovely morning, met some friends for brekki then did some shopping. Managed to get myself some maternity jeggings and leggings, 2 matetnity bras and a nice top and after hearing babies heartbeat yesterday thought it was time I bought him/her something. I got 3 vests and sleepsuits which are white with little lemon and mint stars/animals on. Totally adorable and im actually starting to think we may be on team pink this time although id be more than happy with two boys after everything thats happened.
I hope everyones having a fab wednesday xxx 😃

 

[jaspie]

Hopie don't worry about the icecream! It won't hurt!

Blu i love the sound of those little bits you bought for baby blu. Too cute. I can't wait to buy something for this baby though that's a long way off yet! How long til you find out the gender? I think team pink for you too

It's just cm still no actual blood, this morning and afternoon was just tan cm then i wiped brown ewcm again so i hope that it's all ok. I guess there's some old blood somewhere that's coming out in my cm. I'm not phased by seeing brown now, though i do wish it would stop. But I'm not going to worry unless it goes red especially since I feel sick as a dog. It's getting worse everyday atm I've had almost all day nausea today and my boobs are really sore so at the moment I'm not too worried. Hope it gets lost asap! A week tomorrow til my scan!

Morning ladies! I think I am getting my first pregnancy cold, blech!

Hopie don't worry about the ice cream - great job on the yoga afterwards!!

Bernie sorry to hear about your friends' marital problems. Hopefully they can still work it out. Marriage can be tough, but I wouldn't think divorce would be a walk in the park either. :-/

Blu enjoy your time off! Cute that you bought some little outfits for Baby Blu! So glad about the heartbeat too. It will be fun to see if you're right about being team pink!!

Jaspie how are you? Hoping the spotting has tapered off. I think your instincts are right and Baby J is doing great.

Hee, I don't think I'll be able to stand not looking at the screen during the u/s but I plan to shop after and buy some boy or girl clothing for DH to unwrap as my reveal. He really wants a boy, so if we are team blue I might wrap the clothing in pink tissue paper to fake him out, ha ha.

 

[jaspie]

Haha fit that's a brilliant idea! You have to do that! Can't wait to find out what you're having. I'm thinking boy for you!

 

[hopie2015]

Jaspie- that is great and great attitude! Glad to hear you are feeling even sicker.. as awful as that feels for me to say. Yes, just old blood from somewhere and is very normal to happen early on.

Blu- soo cute the newborn outfits you bought! What are maternity jeggings? Glad you had fun shopping. So Jaspie and I both have felt it's a girl...and well, all of us on this board were right about the feelings of all getting pg so quickly. So we're keeping with our gut feelings -- team pink for you! How long til you find out?

Fit- that is hilarious!! What a clever idea! Do it! Yes, sure would be hard to not look yourself while in the room. What day is that u/s?

Hope you're doing great today Bernie.

Thanks for asking about my parents..just got back wth mom from cardiac rehab-- she walked for 20 minutes and we received potentially amazing news that my dad might be released from hospital very soon. *fingers crossed*.
Have a wonderful day, all! xxxxx

 

[jaspie]

Hopie!!! I'm so happy for you! It sounds like your parents are coming on so much! Amazing news it's been a long time coming but I think this is the start of things looking up for you. Yay!

 

[Blu10]

Oh Hopie im so pleased about your news.... hopefully your luck is changing now.
Jaspie i think youre right it sounds like old blood from implantation. What yourr getting now is what i keep getting its almost rust coloured, i just hate wearing big pants! I cant wait to hear about your scan!
Bernie in sorry your friends are considering divorce and really hope they work something out. Marriage sure is tough at times. I had a period with DH two years ago where i just couldnt see a future but we managed to work it out.
Fit i think you could be team blue too, whens the scan? Im so tempted to book one another 4 weeks feels forever away. I luv your shopping idea... esp the pink paper. Hope you get your boy (boys rock!!) Xx

 

[bernie86]

Hi ladies! so glad to see all the positive updates! Im glad you are all doing well! Hopie thats wonderful news about your parents! blu im so glad its at least tapering off, hopefully it will be done soon. Jaspie so glad to hear that you still have good feelings about this baby, because I learned after the last loss to trust my gut! So I really do think everything will be great on your scan next week! fit cant wait to hear what you are having!!! im feeling boy for you! I think we will have two boys and two girls between us!! Thank you all for the well wishes for our friends! yesterday was a very stressful day concerning that but ended up going pretty well. I had to be the friend that held her accountable and challenged her decisions because everyone else is just being her cheerleader when I feel like someone has to defend their marriage! but anyway it went great so was so receptive to me being so blunt and honest and I realized that our friendship is strong if she could take all the hard truth. I got her to agree to one counseling session and I feel like no matter what happens at least they will get a chance to understand each other and I respect her more for that. And now I dont feel in the middle anymore,Thank God!

 

[Blu10]

Hey Bernie I am so pleased that you were able to be honest with your friend, it sounds as though your advice was useful too. Hows baby B doing? Bet your feeling proper kicks now?xx

 

[jaspie]

Glad you could be honest with your friend, sounds like she needed it. Good for them going to a counselling session too. You've done well! Ahh i really hope I'm right or I will never trust my instinct again! A week today until my scan eeeek!

 

[bernie86]

Thanks girls! Baby B is doing well, and I feel quite a bit of movement but nothing yet that has made me say yup definite kick. when I lay down and put my hand on my belly I can feel slight movement, so we are definitely getting there. Hubby is anxious to feel a real kick but he has felt him push out and make my tummy hard in one spot and then move away. He will be half baked tmw! cant wait for your scan Jaspie! we need to see that little nugget!

 

[jaspie]

Happy 20 weeks Bernie!!! 🎉💙🎉
It's lovely you're feeling movement and the kicks won't be long, i can't wait for OH to feel them too. Such a special experience!
Woke up super early and now can't get back to sleep booo. Happy Friday though! I've got a busy weekend at a festival in Bristol staying with our friends. My best friends already know so they're going to help me hide not drinking from everyone else who I'm sure won't be looking too closely at me anyway! I could do with a weekend in though but we have Monday off at least. Hoping we'll come home on Sunday so we have all of Monday at home. What do you all have planned for the weekend?

 

[Blu10]

Morning girlies!! How is it Friday already?!? This week has flown by.
Happy half way Bernie, Im so excited for us all. Our babies will be here before we know it! ☺
Jaspie has the brown CM stopped? Keep thinking positive hunni, cant wait to hear about your scan next week.
As for me, Im still having very sparse brown CM but last night had almost orange egg white CM, very odd. Im going to have a chilled morning whilst DS is at nursery - we then have his leavers party/ graduation this afternoon which will be cute.
Tomorrow im meeting some work friends with our kiddies in the morning for a big picnic and rounders then were out with different friends and the kiddies kiddies at a fun day tomorrow afternoon. Sunday will definitely be a chilled day before starting my new job eeeeeeek!!
Hope you have a fab time at the festival Jaspie.... are you 7 weeks now?xx

 

[jaspie]

I'll be 7 weeks on Sunday Blu and so far today cm is back to clear! I guess I'll know more once I've walked to work but this is the best it's looked in days so hopefully it's stopped!
Sounds like a nice weekend blu! It would be nice if your cm got back to normal too! You've definitely had your share! Ooh not long til your new job now, you looking forward to starting?

 

[Blu10]

I am Jaspie, the first month will be induction so probably wont get to do much but looking forward to getting stuck in now! Glad CM is normal again, dont want to tempt fate but no brown here so far today so really hope its starting to come to an end here too! Xx

 

[hopie2015]

Thank you guys! I sure do hope and pray luck is changing now for the better. Just going with the flow, as much as the flow sucks at times!! And hoping for the best. I'm just so grateful for every morning my mom wakes up -- we are now 3 months post surgery!!

Nice going Bernie with the talk with your friend. You are one true friend and so is she, as she was able to take the truth well. Being blunt with her and honest was so brave of you and great they are going to a counseling session. I hope it helps.

Jaspie- so excited for your scan next week! Glad you're feeling nice and positive!! Like Blu said - you all will be with your babies before you know it. Time really does go so fast. Hope you have fun away this weekend with friends.

Blu- you are busy-- I hope also you get a good, restful Sunday in before your new job starts. Sure hope also that was the end of the bleeding for you..Now that you are later on in second tri, hopefully it has stopped for good. Is your appetite better now?

Fit- how are you??

Finally the sun is out here. DF will probably be away at his dad's this wknd, so just another chill, quiet weekend for me again helping mom!

Have a great weekend all! xxx

 

[bernie86]

Glad to hear you ladies have nice weekend plans! enjoy them! I dont know about you all but it has felt like the never ending week! Hubby and I are hopefully having a productive weekend! he has work to do in the yard thats being remodeled and I have a whole lot I want to organize! I think we will be getting the crib sunday which will be very nice! My 15 yr old brother will be staying with us this week, which I love but Im definitely going to have to hit up costco in order to feed that ravenous growing teenager! haha Take care ladies!!!

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Hopie so glad to hear things are going better for your parents. Really hoping this is the start of a happier chapter for you and your parents.

Bernie that's great you were able to speak honestly to your friend - that is the mark of a true friendship! Hope the counseling helps them. Happy almost 20 week birthday Baby Jameson!!

Jaspie can't wait to hear about your scan (only 6 days!!) and see pics if Baby J.

Blu hope this is the end to the bleeding - you definitely deserve to be finished with it! Sounds like your new job is going to be great too.

My belly has been so huge I wore maternity pants yesterday and bought 2 more pairs of pants, a top and a dress (on sale for $10 each!!) but today my belly seems to have shrunk again. Oh well.

We're telling my inlaws about Baby Fit today! We found out DH's step brother and his wife have been TTC for several months so hopefully they will still be happy for us...I'm sure it will happen for them soon and then our kids will be the same age.

Have a great weekend all!

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Wow girls...after 5 months of waiting I finally got a call to say our first baby's autopsy report is ready. Spoke to the genetic counselor and baby was a boy like DH and I were so sure of. And the big shocker, baby DIDN'T have a chromosomal abmormality - he was suffering from renal failure and a malformed bladder and anus. He also had a heart condition that we never knew about before today. However he was measuring right on track for his gestational age.

They don't know why he was so sick but there is nothing that stands out to say DH or I are carriers of anything genetically. I told them I'm pregnant again and they said it's reassuring that all looked well at the 12 week anatomy scan. They want to monitor my pregnancy though, so I'll be seeing them for my 18 week u/s, which means I'll probably get a level 3 u/s, which is good. I'm glad to be under their care as they are the best hospital in the province.

Sorry for the novel! Still processing the unexpected turn this day has taken.
