March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[BayBeeEm]

Bama - I have an appointment too! I haven't seen what the purpose of your visit is but mine is for the NT and a gender scan. Although I think it is super obvious for them to be able to tell, they have the high tech 4D ultrasound and are confident they can tell. This will be the first one my husband has been off to join me at. We're so excited, nervous (more me), all of that.

Never - Hi hun. How are you? What have I missed?!!!

 

[MamaTex]

Sweetz33: Ba tum tish! I laughed. Glad everything went well at the dentist

lpjkp: What do you think the gender is and have you guys settled on some names yet?

bamagurl: Nice bump!

nevergiving up: My positive attitude is something I have had all my life. I get angry and upset some days, but I can't stay that way for long. I like to think that as long as I wake up the next day, I have an opportunity to make my life better. To answer one of your earlier questions, I am probably close to starting the two week wait. Not sure though. I am on CD14.

Question for the pregnant ladies here: I think, Sweetz, you said something about a C section? How are you other ladies planning to deliver? Natural? C section? Something in between handling at home and going to the hospital?

AFM: I went and bought some off brand expectorant that has Guatefessin only in it. I am hoping this will help with my cervical mucus because I have noticed that since the arrival of AF, I have been more dry than normal. I am also thinking about buying Preseed and greatly increasing my water take. I am on the fence about using baby aspirin. I think I will just start with these simple steps first. On CD14 here.

In non baby making news, I have been dealing with an achey wrist for the past two days. I think I might have carpal tunnel in my left wrist. I can't even close my car door without being in pain so it looks like I will be returning to the doctor for yet another thing. I am thankful it is my left hand and not my right hand, as I am right handed.

 

[Sweetz33]

I have carpel tunnel and it sucks....

I'm totally dreading tomorrow.....3 hr glucose test....

 

[mackjess]

tex, I'd like to an epidural only at a hospital. obviously if I have complications I'd be ok with a c-section. you hear now all the time about non c section deliveries being scheduled and then drugs used to induce it. I can understand if you are getting past your due date and the baby can get too big, or one or both of you could experience stress to your bodies going past the due. it seems like more and more people are scheduling births around their schedules or what's convenient for the doctor. I hope that my baby gets to decide when it's ready to come out.

 

[meggiemay93]

Lpjkp Yay for gender scan tomorrow!

Bama I'll be praying they do an ultrasound!

BaybeeEm Yay for gender scan!

Hisgrace HI!!!!!

MamaTex I'll be praying for your wrist to heal!!!

Sweetz I'll be praying your glucose test goes well and it's not too bad!

 

[BeautifulD]

Mama Tex...

I would like a natural delivery where I'm able to move around freely... With both of my girls I had natural deliveries with no drugs BUT I had to be monitored constantly. With martine because she was drip induced and with zoebbecause she had meconium in her water so I had to be strapped down.... I was also thinking maybe a water birth for some of it would be nice... Still, there's a long way to go before I think about that in more depth

 

[Sweetz33]

welp...glucose test cancelled....why? BC I am sick as in vomitting....apparently my body can't go too long w/o food or water before it revolts....Nurse is going to call tomorrow to figure out an alternative...

 

[nevergivingup]

HI LADIES!!!

1 more day until Turkey Day....wohoo!!!

BamaGurl: THE BUMP IS AWESOME!!!!!! And youre showing alot....do you already have your prego clothes?Today is your appt. and I know exactly what you meant when you said mean people are going to make you wait fir an u/s until you're 18wks, that's what they made me do...how paranoid I was. Are you going to hear the HB? I hope that holds you over until the U/S. FX for your little girl.

SWEETZ: Ahh boooo about the dentist and about the vomitting. Im 24 years old and am still terrified of those people. Their drills and needles and mouth stretchers and everything else they use scares me to pieces everytime I go even for a cleaning. I should be a dentist on Halloween next year, that'll scare some people. And I hope they find a way for you to do the Glucose test w/o you getting sick, silly people know your condition.

BayBeeEm: HELLOOOO..Glad to hear from you again....And CONGRATSBON HITTING the double digits....12wks look at you getting to big for your britches!! So excited and happy to hear you're going in for your U/S and DH will be joining you...he is def needed, this is yet another milestone. I hope you get some pics.

Lpjkp: YAYYYYYY GENDER SCAN IS TODAY Tell your DH BNB ladies says THANKS!! I hope we get to see pics.....only if you want to.

MamaTex: YAYYY you're almost in TWW, my FX that this is your cycle!!! Water will ded help with cm, it did with mine, but I know you don't like it but Grapefruit worked even better...eewww grapefruit....I know. I just ate one yesterday and they're not that bad....says the prego lady who'll eat ab anything...your positiveness is AWESOME!!

HisGrace: GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! Hope all is well!! How's it going?

Mackjess: I like that plan just let the baby come on it's own, but with me being in RN school and so many days I'm allowed to miss, I believe I may be one of the induction ladies you may be talking too....although I still don't want an epidural but hey it's not up to us, so I will give him a chance to come on his own but once he gets stubborn and wanna Vacae to after the due date...then I'm coming for him!!!

AFM: Nothing New, heading out of town today for Turkey day with my family and won't be bk until Sat. so I will be on and off, so apologies ahead of time for my tardiness. And I'm 25 weeks...come on time...30 wks is when I'm buying things for him...not a day sooner...unless he wants to vacate earlier and I hope that isn't his plans!!

hello to the other ladies!!

 

[mackjess]

I totally get working around an RN school sched. or when you get past your due date and the babe needs encouragement to vacate. I've worked at Sprint and the federal government where we have vacation time and maternity leave out the whazoo, and ladies have their deliveries scheduled months in advance. I don't get it. Maybe it's the way out hospitals in ks are, the doctors really try to schedule births here for no good reason except it interferes went with their golf game. I want to try to let nature take its course before I do that. if that didn't work, out there is pain or strain for me out the baby I'd be fine inducing.

And I wish I had what it took for a natural delivery, but as I whined over a hangnail yesterday (in my defense it did bleed) I realized that's not gonna happen. since I know I'm gonna need an epidural or pain meds or whatever, I guess I don't feel I need the induce drugs on top of that.

hope you have a great thanksgiving and travel safe. I'm way excited about all the eating I'm about to be doing. I can't wait to hear about everyone's appts and scans today!

 

[bamagurl]

Well I didn't get an ultrasound today, but I did get to hear the heartbeat! They had a hard time getting to it because baby was busy busy busy moving! Once she was able to get the heart rate, it was between 171-173!!! I go back on December 5th to find out gender! I CANNOT WAIT!!!

How was your appointment BayBeeEm?!?! Anxiously waiting to hear!

Never~ I am so super excited for turkey day tomorrow! I cannot wait to eat my heart out haha

 

[meggiemay93]

I can't wait for Thanksgiving tomorrow! I'm so thankful I have a wonderful hubby and i'm thankful for family and friends and a nice apartment to live in!

Well i'm supposed to O today, but I don't think it's gonna happen. I still have watery cm (tmi), but no O pains. Last night a had a sharp pain on my right side but it didn't feel like O pain and no temp spike. I'll still try to get some BD'ing in tonight and friday.

 

[BeautifulD]

[bamagurl]

Meggiemay haha yes I am in a 2ww! I love that!

Congrats on a little boy lpjkp!!! Do yall have a name picked out yet? He is already so handsome!!! Congrats again

 

[lpjkp]

Aww, thanks bama? We've chosen Jenson, but a little confused on a middle name!x

 

[bamagurl]

That is so cute! Love the name! I can't wait to be able to call our baby a name instead of it or baby haha!

Are yall doing any kind of reveal?

 

[lpjkp]

We've already revealed the gender to family...we hadn't planned to until christmas day, but it didn't go down so well with everyone, so we revealed today (We were wayy too excited to keep it in anyway!)...we're going to reveal the name in a DVD of the scan as a present to everyone on christmas day though x

 

[bamagurl]

That will be special! I am sure they will love that! Yeah it is hard to hold in when you find out because it is so exciting!

 

[Sweetz33]

Lp I so called that one!! How did I know? The way you are carrying...just like me!! Hehe!! Congrats and cute name!!

Bama bugger on the scan woohoo on the heartbeat.

Never...they came up with an alternative. With me failing the 1hr that is enough to dx me as diabetic so now my insurance with cover the supplies. They want me to keep testing my blood and if it continues to go out of whack, then the test. They are trying to avoid it since I am getting so sick when I fast.
