Awww, congrats Dee! I know you must be on Can't wait to see the pics of him

Sorry I haven't been around much. Things have been busy here lately. My oldest son had his birthday last Saturday and now my youngest son has his birthday on FridayAlso, a bit of good news, I got a blazing positive OPK and smiley face today So that means I would end up with about a 47 day cycle! I know some people see that as a long cycle, but I would be so thrilled to have cycles like that from now onThere's a new doctor at my doctor's office and she said that my glucose levels are a lot better(good news for PCOS)...and I've been getting out and walking more and watching the things I eat/portion size to try to lose some weight. I've also been taking inositol powder and folic acid (like what's in Pregnitude) for the last few months. I think all of that together might be helping with ovulation. Anyway, hopefully the shorter cycles continue. FX'd.

Yaya fingers crossed Bethany! 47 day cycles are short compared to some cycles us girls have had lol. Excellent that your glucose numbers are better! Are you on Metformin as well? Xx

Here's Camden! I showed up to the hospital last Wed at 6pm 5cm dilated (and in 100 times the pain that I ever imagined!), immediately got the epidural, started pushing around midnight and he was born at 12:29am. I am so in love with this little guy!

 

[foquita]

that's great news, 47 day cycle is great! i think that's what i was going to have when i conceived so hopefully this is another lucky cycle for you and this time it's sticky

 

[foquita]

awww dee he is beautiful! so cute! such a unique name too, i love it

 

[Diddums]

Aww Dee he's gorgeous! And loads of hair. How you guys getting on at home?

The idea of having an epidural is growing on me more and more lol. I've been told if I want an epidural I should have it when I'm 4-5cm dilated as I won't be in so much pain I can't sit still enough. They want the best possible chance of siting it right first time because of my bmi xxx

 

[foquita]

i'm more scared of an epidural than anything else to do with birth, open to everything of course but the giant needle terrifies me

 

[rmsh1]

Awww Dee he is lovely

Nat, I was scared of the needle too and was so against an epidural. In the end, I did not have one, but once Emma was out they told me I had to have a spinal anyway to get repaired, and since Emma was out and I was in some kind of happiness cloud, I was not bothered at all by what they had to do to me. It did not hurt in the slightest, getting a needle in the back, they are very good at making it painless. It still gives me the heeby jeebies thinking that something went into my spine though, I don't like to think about it

 

[rmsh1]

I hope this is it for you Bethany

 

[foquita]

i keep reminding myself that i can't control what happens and that there is a reason so many people have epidurals! i could end up in a similar situation to you for example. i think it's the being stuck on my back that is scary too!

 

[cmwilson]

Dee he's beautiful. Such a cutie! Hope things are going well at home!

Bethany - Hooray for the short cycle! I hope this is it for you but if it isn't at least your cycles seem to be shortening and then it's just a matter of time!

As far as the epidural goes, I had to have two because my first one needed to be redone but in comparison to the pain of labor the needle in the back was nothing!

 

[Diddums]

Caroline that's the exact same thing my mum said. She said labour was so painful the epidural was nothing. And the relief was indescribable!
