long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

Louise - your baby girl is ADORABLE! How precious! You and your hubby must be so over the moon in love with her

 

[mrsc81]

Hubby is more protective over her than i am!

Ugh I've got to the stage where my cycle is too long for ff

 

[Diddums]

Ugh I hated that NewMrs!! I ended up having to split my cycle. I emailed FF and asked why it didn't extend to longer and they replied to say it wasn't usually necessary so won't be implementing the feature and the length they have now is fine for ttc!!!!

Little Gerbera is playing havoc with my body lol.

Thought I finally had the energy to go to the gym. How wrong was I. I fell asleep before I went to the gym, then struggled to even walk straight on the treadmill. Then I fell asleep the second I got home! Absolutely exhausted!! And then woke up 4 times to pee overnight. I honestly don't mind (it's a sign Gerbera ok) but can't believe how much havoc a 3mm baby can make. Think I'm going to cancel my gym membership. I will save £50 a month which will buy me my nursery by the time bubs is born. There is no point in keeping the membership at the moment. I'm struggling to stay awake at work despite sleeping 8 hours at night!

Oh and I've upgraded my early pregnancy scan to a 4d scan at 26 weeks

 

[NewMrs2011]

It's amazing how much havoc it can cause for being so small but I think you have the right idea about cancelling the gym! Bet you can't wait for the 4D scan, I'm sure it'll be here before you know it

I'm feeling a bit bleugh today. For the last couple of days whenever I eat I feel really nauseous. It's a bit strange. My spotting has eased off its just very pale brown now do doesn't look like its gonna come to anything which is disappointing

 

[mrsc81]

I did exactly the same with the gym
It should hopefully start warming up soon so when you've got the energy you can go walking

 

[Diddums]

Yeh I think I will enjoy the walking. And my fur baby will love the extra walks. I have until the end April to go to the gym as they need a months notice to cancel.

Felt really rough all weekend. I slept funny one evening and now my lower back and hips are really painful. Usually I would take strong codeine to help with the pain, but obviously can't take anything now. So just been using a warm beanie thing to try to help. Back is a bit better but now my right hip is dodge lol. Hopefully will be gone over the next few days.

On the not so bright side I threw up three times this morning. I was feeling a bit queasy, and out of nowhere just threw up acidicy water not pleasant but will be worth it

Spent Easter at my parents house which was really nice. My sister was back from Florence so good to see her. Ate a fair amount of chocolate so back on healthy eating today!

Hope you ladies had a lovely Easter weekend xxxx

 

[mrsc81]

I had hip pain most of my pregnancy, couldn't sleep on either side without being in pain, hopefully yours goes away. Poor you being sick! It's not nice throwing up but guess its reassuring.

 

[Rachel789]

Sounds like you are having a really tough time with the sickness! Sorry to hear that. I started getting nauseous around 6 weeks and stayed that way until 10 weeks, I only threw up a few times though. It was mostly just off and on nausea all day and lack of appetite. I didn't fully get my normal appetite back until about 13 weeks. Luckily I haven't had any hip pain so far, just back pain off and on lately and my right leg will randomly get achy off and on, that drives me nuts!

 

[bnporter81]

Hope everyone is doing well...it's been kinda quiet in here lately.

Big hugs

 

[seabean]

I've been traveling for work, but all done with that for a while! I also got to go home for Easter weekend and my Mom threw me a wonderful baby shower I think our little guy is going to be the best dressed baby on the block now!!

I have been feeling pretty great so far. I'm still going to the gym regularly, which I think really helps keeping my energy up and my butt in shape Katya - if I were you I would see how you feel after the first trimester, then think about canceling your gym membership. I was tired for the first few weeks I was pregnant, but then I got my energy back and wasn't sick, so I am glad I am still going!

 

[mrsc81]

Lil has had her baby Congrats Lil

 

[seabean]

Hooray! It's raining babies up in here!

 

[cmwilson]

Congrats Lil! Another girl for this thread! Looks like you are bringing our only boy Dee! Maybe Katya will join you on team blue!

Glad you had a great shower Dee! Did you get most of the things you need? My sister's shower is this weekend and mine is next weekend.

Katya - I'm sorry to hear you are throwing up but at least it's a sign your little one is growing!

Bethany - How are things with you? Anything new to report?

NewMrs and Raven - Hope things are going well with you!

Rachel - Now that Lil has had her baby, looks like you and I are up next for this thread! Are you ready? How are you feeling?

As for me, things are going ok. I had an appointment on Monday and they told me my blood pressure has been slightly elevated the past three visits (132/70, 136/71, and 140/72) but when I take it at home it's usually around 112/68. They did some bloodwork and it came back normal and I haven't had any swelling or headaches. Could just be extra nerves from being at the doctor but now I'm going every week to the doctor which I was going to be doing anyway just have to start a week earlier. On top of that, the little lady is laying diagonally and not head down so if she doesn't get head down in 2 weeks we have to discuss the option of a version to turn her or talk about a c-section. Oy! Just hoping I can get her to turn and that she's just being lazy like her momma.

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Caroline. Felt much better today with only mild nausea so I think it will come in waves for me.

Dee, to be fair I have an exercise bike at home I can use, and with moving house and buying baby stuff in he future, hubby and I have decided its best to save the £60 a month and put towards new house or baby bits

I'm hoping to have my scan before I go to Dubai on the 24th April. How long before your first scan did you receive the letter with the scan date? We've decided to have a private scan before we go to Dubai if I haven't had my dating scan so we know Gerbera is ok and we can buy some little cute things we see in Dubai little bit excited but nervous about the scan :/

 

[bnporter81]

Congrats Lil! I bet she's adorable!

Caroline, my blood pressure was elevated with my last 2 boys and I had to go on some low dose medicine, but my checks were also like yours in that it was always higher at doctor visitsI think because I was always worried it would be high. I didn't have any swelling until I was about 8 months and then it was only my feet and a little bit in my hands. I hope she turns around for you so you can avoid a c-section. I know the possibility of needing one is a scary thoughtThanks for asking how things are going...nothing new really to report, but I did have a some EWCM last night, so I'm hoping that means good things.

 

[Rachel789]

Congrats lil!! Wow another girl so many here!

Bethany- I hope the ewcm is a sign o is coming soon

Caroline- I hope she turns soon so you don't have to worry about a c section. You still have time which is good

If your blood pressure is still low at home then it's probably just stress at the drs office that's causing it to be elevated.

I can't believe we are next, it's crazy how fast it's gone! I don't think I will ever feel fully ready but I am so excited to meet her I have been feeling decent. No swelling or hip pain so I feel fortunate for that. My back hurts at times but its not constant. My biggest complaints are the lack of sleep because I can't get comfortable and the crazy amount of bh contractions I get, they don't hurt but they are so uncomfortable!

I had a dr appt yesterday and she is in a good head down position, I was also tested for group b strep so I am waiting for the results. I don't go back for two weeks which I thought was weird, I figured by now I would go every week they said after my next one it will be weekly.

 

[MommyDream]

Thanks for all the congratulations ladies!! I only have a quick second to update, but Elodie Claire was born April 2 at 11:56pm weighing 7lbs, 7oz. She perfect in every way!

I hope all of you are well - and yes, Rachel, you are next!! Good luck! I'll be watching for your news

 

[raventtc]

Hey ladies, I have to go back and read everything that I have missed while I was away. Hope all is well!! and some little ones are surely here or just about

I had my appointment on Friday, my doctor is awesome. She did an exam and found a polyp and removed it for me...the cause of all of this spotting! She told me that bleeding should stop in 72 hours and if it doesn't then we will use some alternate med's to stop it....and my huuby has his SA to do and I have to get another ultrasound. Then as soon as she gets the results she will decide what we should do...she wants to start with clomid but since all my charts show I "o" then she said she wants to do blood work on those certian days...forgive me but I totally forgot what they are now. So bascially the ball is rolling and I am fingers crossed that things turn around for us.

Thanks for all the support and help ladies its always nice to come here and chat with you lovely ladies
