light hearted ttc

[Blondiejay]

Ashley and Jo, almost there!!! Wow and there's me panicking about 118 days to go!!

Katie, Any sign of AF? Are you going to test? I watched the opening ceremony, wasn't it amazing!

I saw my belly move for the first time on Saturday. Littl'un was kicking loads in one spot so I looked down and saw my belly moving. I showed my oh the next day and he was amazed.
Pregnancy yoga was really nice too, so relaxing. I've paid up for the next 4 weeks!

Here I am at 23 weeks...

 

[boxxey]

I go for a scan on wed......i did another digi test as im paranoid.....dr hasnt even done blood work......well the test showed 3+ within 10seconds lol

 

[Blondiejay]

Boxxey, I think I did about 7 tests after I foud out I was pregnant just to be sure.

 

[boxxey]

I have an u/s wed at 1245 :-D

 

[Blondiejay]

Aww brilliant. How many do you get there? We only have 2 scans here, one at 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks. Although they are giving me another one at 36 weeks because of where my placenta is.

Awww cute little bump susi, I bet right now it feels big. But it gets BIGGER so much that you'll be wondering why you wanted it to get big

aww boxxy try not to stress to much, but I did the same thing, mostly to prove to my DH that i was infact pregnant


AFM.... I started to lose some mucus plug

 

[Blondiejay]

I wake up some days and think my bumps massive and other days it feels small.

Ashley, is that what they call a show?

 

[boxxey]

My dr gets a dating one @6 weeks or so.....one @12-14 one @18-20 and one @ 34weeks.......with my 1st child i lost my plug two days before she was born but it can happen a few weeks before......hopefully soon enough you will be holding your babe

 

[josephine3]

Ooooh exciting stuff ashley! did u lose it all? No fair i wanna lose mine lol.

Susi ur bump is cute and yeah to me now it looks tiny but i remember feeling huge at that stage! Its crazy how big it gets haha.
Boxxey good luck for ur scan its great u get one so early.
Afm...me and oh dtd this morning for the first time in months! i wasnt sure it wud go well but i actually enjoyed it more than i thought i would. Secretly hoped that it mite start something off but nothing yet lol. X

 

[AC1987]

Nah just a TINY bit amount but I know it wasn't the normal cm I get cause it was like jelly(TMI sorry!!) I was cramping as well yesterday...
Hmm I might hafta see if my DH will dtd with me I doubt it though if I even touch my stomach he thinks its hurting the baby
My midwife appt is today at 2pm!

 

[josephine3]

Good luck for mw. Do they tell u how engaged u are? I was 3/5 last time im hoping for more this time! Mines on thurs. Iv got the growth scan tomorrow so fx'd for that too! Im well impressed ur losing plug lol. Susi i think u can have a 'show' seperate from plug or at the same time. I think a show is usually with blood too.

 

[Blondiejay]

Ahh ok, it's all so confusing! Thanks.

You're lucky to dtd, We haven't since just after we conceived!! For the first 3 months we were a little scared and since then I've had thrush constantly!! Although..I've not had it too bad at all the last couple of days so I'm hoping my luck is in soon! Haha.

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Boxxey and for your mw appointment.

 

[josephine3]

We have only done it a handful of times since conception .... I was too scared to start with and now am just too uncomfortable to ever be in the mood! I do feel sorry for my oh!

 

[AC1987]

Omg jo, you're 38 weeks now!?

My midwife appt went good, I'm measuring right on and I gained 2 pounds I'm negative for strep b and i dont have any thyroid problems. My appts are now weekly!! I didn't get anything internal done, as far as I know they don't do internals unless you think you might be in labour which is fine with me oh and apparently I was having a contraction and she goes "Oh see there you're having one" only I couldn't feel it

 

[Blondiejay]

Yay, well done on the weight gain and glad everything is ok!! I weighed myself a couple of weeks ago and I had gained 8lbs.

 

[josephine3]

Ashley the same thing happened to me! The mw was feeling and said 'ooh ur having a tightening', but i couldnt feel it! We dont get internals either, but how did she test for strep b? I thought that was an internal swab thing? Dont think we get tested for that. Where are u again i forget lol...? I never get weekly appts still 2 weekly. We dont get weighed either but i have put on 1lb hurrah. So has baby shes back on track at growth scan today yay!

 

[AC1987]

I'm in the USA. Well the streb b.. was just like this long q tip and she just swabbed the outside of my lady parts so nothing inside.

I think its actually good not knowing if I'm whatever engaged or dialated or anything like that cause I think it'd just cause me to not be able to relax thinking the baby is gonna come any second

Omg.. my dh tells me that I'm getting lotsa braxton hicks because my body is getting ready to shoot the baby outta me like "whoosh" as he says. I'm like uhh yea I don't think its gonna come shooting outta me maybe if I have like 10+ kids LOL!!
