hormone crash after ERPC

[hopie2015]

Yay! Jaspie!!! AMAZING! SO thrilled for you. I can totally imagine the huge sense of relief and amazing feeling of happiness after seeing your baby dancing all around for you on the scan. She knew to put on a show for you guys! Oops-- I said 'she'.. I too have had a girl feeling for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Baby J's picture is soo adorable.

Glad everyone is doing great. Blu- I figured you were busy with your guests. Hope you get to rest this weekend.

Yes, it is hard with the due date being this month. Counselor was very helpful yesterday. She tried some energy release work- it sounds totally kooky and DF had a good laugh about it, but I think it worked. I have just had so much stress, etc. the past 2 years that really do believe in the energy blockage thing. After she did it (it's called reiki), I felt lighter and better!

Jaspie- that is awesome to hear about your co-workers! My counselor also told me she has 3 patients now over forty very late in their pregnancies. These stories give me hope and Fit's grandma! But most of all it is you guys- your bravery and strength/courage and positive attitudes that have made me decide to try again. This month! So, we shall see.

Have a great Wed. everyone and congrats again. We're all on cloud 9 with Jaspie!

Yay Hopie!!!! So pleased for you! Fingers crossed for this month!

Awww thanks hopie! Oooh maybe it is a girl! When I get my 12w pic I'll be posting it on the gender guess forum!
I'm so pleased you feel better after the reiki, I'm actually a reiki practitioner! I've done the level 1 and 2 courses and may do the masters one day. I only do it on myself and my friends and family though, even OH who is a massive sceptic admits there is something to it after letting me treat him! Good for you! If you enjoyed it you could look into doing a level 1 course and then you can give yourself (and your friends/family) treatments whenever you like!

Yayyyy thats super exciting Hopie, i have everything crossed that it happens soon, your luck has to change! We will be stalking your cycle hahaha.
Im glad youre finding the counselling and reiki helpful, you have had enough things happen to make you feel stressed thats for sure.
Our guests left this afternoon so ive had a clean through and were going to have a chilled night at home. Great British Bake off is back on tv tonight which im looking forward too so i intend to have a nice warm bath and pjs on by 8pm👍
Bet you are buzzing today Jaspie? Im so glad all was well yesterday, totally exciting when you see baby wriggle on screen isnt it, it will be crazy how much he/she grows by the 12 week one too.
I want friday to be here now to know that everything is ok, i think having guests has made the week go fast and we only have tomorrow to get through! Eeeeeeeek, excited but nervous x

 

[jaspie]

Great minds Blu! I'm about to jump in the bath now ready for bake off at 8 😊 yay!
Yes I've been so happy today! Can't wait for my 12 week scan now just wish it would hurry! I feel positive for it now so it will be such a relief to finally pass that milestone. can't wait to see what they look like by then 😊 13 sleeps!
Can't wait to find out pink or blue for you Blu. I know everything will be wonderful, nerve-wracking as it is, Baby Blu will be perfect.

 

[Blu10]

Thanks jaspie i hope so, 1 more sleep eeeeeek! Hubby hoping for another boy. Bake off was good there are a few good ones this year again.
Hows everyone else??
I had a coffee earlier as we had run out of decaf and baby went nuts for half an hour lol xx

 

[jaspie]

Haha! Bouncy baby Blu! Yep I enjoyed bake off too
Eeek 1 more sleep! What times your appointment?

 

[bernie86]

haha blu! My baby does the same every morning with the coffee! and whenever i eat spicy food. cant wait to hear tmw!!!!

 

[Blu10]

Funny bernie too cute. Scan is 3pm jaspie wish it was morning x

 

[jaspie]

Hope the time passes quickly and 3pm hurries! Will be checking in later. Super excited for you!

 

[Blu10]

Eeeeeeek its D day!!!! We bought some bottles yesterday so hope we havent tempted fate. Going to keep busy today and hope it goes fast xx

 

[hopie2015]

Hi Blu- it is your scan day today?! Thinking of you! That is funny about baby after having the non-decaf coffee. And Bernie - after spicy food too! I just was reading that spicy food every day has amazing health benefits and prevents cancer and heart disease!
Jaspie- that is amazing-- I had no idea you are a reiki practitioner! How cool. Funny even your fiance who was skeptical is sold. It really is amazing. My therapist couldn't even really explain exactly how it works with the whole energy thing, just that it does. She asked me where I feel the trauma/stress stored (this is stuff from over years) and guessed belly area. I said more like my head. My head has felt stuffy and just off for a while and afterwards she said - wow- you were absolutely right- the energy (or whatever it is she felt) was all trapped in my head area -- crown chakra.
Afterwards I felt so much better and that head feeling was gone and my counselor looked bright red- like she had just run a marathon. I think she was exhausted after the reiki b/c I probably have so many blockages. ha!

Crazy stuff but I love how this really works.

Hope you get a good, restful weekend in Jaspie. How are you feeling this week -- able to eat more now? Blu- let us know how everything goes and great you can get some r&r in finally.

Fit- how are you doing?

Thanks all for the encouragement and support with ttc'ing again. I feel so much better with both my parents back home feeling better and just hope things fall into place now. I really appreciate your optimism with ttc. As nerve wracking as it is, it is all of you getting through it just fine that is encouraging me!

Have wonderful weekends! DF and I are planning to walk to Brooklyn (about 3 hours!) xxxx

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Blu can't wait to hear about your scan and whether you're joining Team or Team !! So exciting!!

Hopie that's so great that you're TTC again!! I hope the luck of this group is with you and you catch your rainbow on your first try! Glad your therapy went so well and I hope you enjoy your walk with DF! Man I miss long walks...my uterus knocks into my bladder with every step making walking uncomfortable and running impossible.

Bernie those kicks sound so fun. Baby Jameson sounds very active.

Jaspie hope you're feeling well - you have another scan coming up shortly too don't you?

I think I might have felt some movement yesterday at work and then when I was listening with the doppler I felt my belly move 3 times right under the probe so pretty sure Thomas was booting it - DH always says he hates the doppler!

 

[Blu10]

Hey ladies all is perfect and baby blu is another little boy! Were relying on hopie or jaspie for a pink one now 😉 x

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Yay Blu!!!!

Congratulations on a healthy Baby Blu and welcome to Team !!!! A little brother for your DS, how sweet. LOL didn't he want to return baby to the store if he ended up with a sister?

 

[jaspie]

Whoop whoop! So glad all is well! And YAY for team blue! 💙 super happy for you!

Hopie I'm still really excited for you starting to ttc again So glad you're feeling happy again 😊 hope you have a good walk.

Fit yay you felt movement! Love it he's kicking the doppler haha! You know what you need to do if you ever want to feel him move!

How are you Bernie?

3 boys in the group! Ooh I wonder what baby J is! Maybe hopie or i will be doing it for the girls! Yep I have my 12 week scan a week on Tuesday 😊 can't wait now. 11 weeks on Sunday 😆 I'm still feeling sick, my appetite has improved and I can eat more stuff again but now I'm getting terrible burps and heartburn after eating which isn't helping my nausea. Hopefully it'll all balance out in a couple of weeks!

Congrats again on your newest baby boy Blu!

 

[bernie86]

Yay blu! so glad all is well with your little BOY!!! very exciting! Hopie- sounds like a wonderful relaxing weekend! start practicing for ttc lol
fit- its so exciting once you start feeling the kicks! and Im sure you have felt it they are so subtle in the beginning, and now at week 24 its like he is doing somersaults in there! Jaspie-stock up on tums! they come in handy around this time! heartburn and indigestion kicked in for me right around 10 weeks! hope you ladies all have a nice weekend! Hubby is out on yet another bach celebration this weekend! Luckily my BIL went as well so me and my SIL have the house for just us girls and we can get some baby shower planning in

 

[Blu10]

Morning ladies, how are we?
Bernie my movements are getting stronger now too even with the anterior placenta. I hope you had fun with SIL, when are you planninh your shower for?
Fit its amazing when you feel movement isnt it? You may use the doppler less once you can feel lil man kicking around. Yes DS is super glad that hes having a brother, he was so desperate for a little boy bless him and keeps kissing my belly. He wants him to have the same name as him haha.
Jaspie the indigestion is crippling me too, ive ate lots of bread this week so dont think thats helped. They did amazing chewy rennies when I had DS but I cant find them anywhere now and the chalky tablets are vile. I do find a glass of warm milk helps though. I cant believe youre nearly 12 weeks, so exciting hun 😄
Hopie it sounds as though you have a lovely weekend planned with DF, im as excited as Jaspie about you TTC again, you need a rainbow!! Wont it be funny if we all have boys?
Im enjoying saturday morning cuddles with DS and a decaf tea, the weather is lovely here today so think we will go to the park or countryside later for a walk in the sunshine after my very hot date... with the ironing board!!
DH and I bought our newest addition 2 little outfits yesterday, a tiny white and grey coking home sleepsuit with welcome to the world on and a pale blue jersey dungaree and vest set with little stars on, so cute! Im excited to shop now and decorate DS's room and the nursery eeeeeeek!!!
Have a fantastic weekend my lovelies.
Ps fit im absolutely loving your bump, i want to look preggers now and not just chunky ha xx

 

[jaspie]

Fit I just went to look at your bump pic you look fabulous 😍 I can't wait to have a bump!

Bernie hope you have a fab time planning your baby shower, do you know what kind of things you want to do?

Blu your DS is the cutest, so funny he wants his lil bro to have the same name as him 😂 I can totally see us all having boys haha! A walk in the park sounds lovely think we're going to do the same, it's such a beautiful day. Sorry you're suffering with the heartburn and indigestion too!

Thanks for the tips girls, will have to get some tums or something. I had a beef pie and mash in the pub last night and I had heartburn before I even started eating it so you can imagine afterwards! Last night was the last time of pretending to drink anyway yay! Next time I see that group I'll be visibly pregnant as won't see some of them for a couple of months. I can't believe I'm nearly 12 weeks either!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Awww, thanks for the compliments on my bump, you girls are the sweetest. Blu I'm sure you look great!

Bernie how did the shower planning go? A girls weekend must have been nice. LOL at Baby Jameson doing somersaults - can't wait to feel those.

Blu that's great that you are feeling more kicks even with an anterior placenta. My placenta is anterior too so I find this encouraging. Have you done any shopping for your new blue addition?

How are you Jaspie? Hope the indigestion is tapering off. Yay for not having to pretend to drink for much longer!! You will have a bump before you know it - mine came and went from weeks 14 to 16 depending on how bloated I was and then was here to stay by week 17.

Hopie I hope you had a great walk to Brooklyn!

I felt some more kicks this morning, woo hoo! First when I was lying in bed, and then I got the doppler out: I could hear Thomas kicking and moving around and could feel little pops and tremors - coolest thing ever!

 

[Blu10]

Yay for kicks Fit! So far baby only had a couple of sleepsuits and a little dungaree set. We need to get organised although i dont really have much 'big' stuff to buy as I will reuse what we got for DS.
How was everyones weekend?
Back to work for me today. Xx
