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

[lpjkp]

Oh gosh sweetz,that is so soon!! I bet you are extremely excited though! I still have three months and I can't wait to see my little boy for the first time!!! I'll keep stalking,and I can't wait to se e those first pictures of the first baby of the group!

never, you're next!!! You're getting so close too,I bet you're getting excited! What does third trimester have in store for me? I've got to say,the first two trimesters have been a rough ride for me,so im hoping third takes it easy on me!! Braxton hicks don't sound very nice though!!

Mama, im so glad everything is ok with you and baby...ive been silently stalking,and wanted to give you support,but I've been in hospital myself over the weekend with spotting...unfortunately,some of us do just spot throughout (im one of them!)...luckily everything was ok for me too,I just seem extremely prone to infections during pregnancy and this 5th infection was apparently causing the spotting...as long as little one is ok,I can keep battling through anything!!

Third trimester for me on Saturday...where has the time gone?!x

 

[Sweetz33]

BH are interesting lol. Contractions are just painful rofl! Woke up not feeling that great. Think I finally got that cold everyone has. I have also had a constant cramp in my right leg since yesterday! It won't go away! Waaaaaaa!

 

[ESwemba84]

Sweetz that's awesome the doc gave you the go ahead to meet your little boy! I'm so excited for you! I hope everything goes smoothly when the time comes.

Garfie, I'm super excited for this appointment. I've already accepted I'm going to need help getting thing to work like they are supposed to, and I feel like I'm finally going to be moving forward! Hope your appointment is helpful.

Yesterday I went to the gym. This is huge because I haven't been in 5 months. I have put off going because I have 2 herniated discs in my lumbar, and as a result, pretty bad sciatica, from an injury 5 years ago. But I am ready to make a lifestyle change, and this was the first step. I enjoyed it. And since I quit smoking over a month ago (woohoo it's been a whole month!) exercise doesn't feel like death anymore! I had post gym burn pretty bad last night from overdoing the elliptical, but I'm not at all sore today. So yay I get to workout again today!

Well, that's weird. I've never been excited about exercise. I loathed it, actually. I think I'm just excited to lose this freaking weight.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Gm ladies

Sweetz: Next week, how anxious we are!!

Garfie, my FX for you ma'am, did you just BD on "O" day did you use anything this time? I dont know how many times i can tell you youre awesome without seeming infactuated with you Garfie im sure you have some 3rd trimester stories for me on what i can expect next...everyone is telling me i will be 2 wks late or 2 wks early bc this is my first how was your first?


I know myself how painful that is to lose your baby and your friend is still going through with her pregnancy and on top of it shes including you on every detail, every symptn, every hiccup of her pregnancy like she dosent understand that youre going through a loss regardless of how far along you were. I dont think some women understand or rather blind to the fact of how to approach or act or even know how to talk around women who have had a loss but at the same time i had to realize when going through that tough time and time of jealousy how can i ask her to not be happy about her blessing just bc God had other plans for mine. That would def make her pregnancy depressing and stressful every time shes around me and i know if im pregnant i dont wont to have to down play my pregnancy bc its something i really wanted and worked so hard for and when i did got pregnant that same friend who was pregnant and i was jealous of was just as excited for to hear ab my pregnancy and ready to throw my babyshower and everything which kindve makes me feel alittle bad for being jealous but i do agree some women dont understand the mental mind frame we ladies are in after a loss and sometimes they still wont unless they go through it and we def wish that on no one.

LPJKP: What you were in the hospital and just telling us.....you know youre one of my favorites and im constantly thinking ab my girls on here. Im glad it turned out good and that it wasnt anything, those infections are horrible, but their def worth it if babe is ok. Youll be in 3rd tri soon..Yaayyy you are def moving sooo fast(we are thankful for that) Third tri for me has slowed me down a bit. and those Braxton hicks are ok at home but when im in public waddling around they definitely slow me down. And when i have to go to the bathroom and trying to hold it those braxton hicks will come soo strong to where its taking 5 minutes to make one step at least thats how it is for me right now. And its like he's jumpin on my bladder just to do it. An now my back is hurting...Oooo the joys of 3rd trimester LPJKP, its waiting on ya!!


AFM: 35 weeks today, 2 wk away from being considered term

 

[nevergivingup]

Eswemba84: Good for you...I love the eliptical!! Its the only machine i would get on when excercising!! It def help me drop my weight. Im totally jealous to hear your excitement ab excercising, i use to be excited and ready to hit the gym. Go you, youre def going to get me inspired to jump bk in the gym after D-day just to hear your excitement.

 

[MamaTex]

Same dilation and NO MORE SHOTS

Doc said if he comes.....let the boy come! Ultrasound set for Wednesday to check size, lungs & heart. Soooooo excited! Doc estimates that he will arrive some time next week possibly.

How exciting!!

lpjkp: I am glad everything was ok with you too!! For my emergency room trip, I drove all the way to Tomball, Texas to go to an emergency room at the main hospital there!! I didn't want to go anywhere in the city because I didn't want to be there forever!! It was worth the extra gas. Tomball isn't too terribly far from Houston, but I made my husband drive there and back

garfie: Where are you going for holiday? I wish we could plan one but my husband works too much! One day!

Sweetz: Wow, it is almost time!!

To the other ladies: How's it going? What is up with Storked and Leather for that matter?

AFM: I have been monitoring my blood pressure and it is a lot lower than it was last week! It is hovering around 135/90 thank goodness. That is still a little higher than I would like, but at least it is not 160/102 like it was.

My move to our new rent house is slow going because I am not lifting anything heavy. Tomorrow will be the big big move that my husband will do. I am NOT going to be helping with mattresses, ovens, and refrigerators this time around. A friend is supposed to be helping us. Whatever appliances we can't get out of the house will just have to be left here for the next person, but I think we will get all the big items out.

 

[MamaTex]

Happy 35 weeks never!!

 

[lpjkp]

aww never, that doesn't sound very fun at all!!! Let's hope, in 2 weeks time, he'll be ready to come AT FULL-TERM and that you finally get some relief!

I didn't say anything because I was worried at the time...I think women who have had a mc should definitely deserve the smoothest of pregnancies after, and my pregnancy has not been so! They hooked me up to a CTG and he was happily kicking and playing around in there, so I was very relieved! You just don't want to see the spotting all the time, you know? Some women are just prone to it I guess! I can't believe you've only got a couple of weeks left!! Thinking about it, that means I have just over 10 weeks left till full-term...that's a lovely thought!!x

 

[runnergrl]

yes happy 35 weeks never- MamaTex I live close to Tomball, I'm in Spring

 

[Pinkcasi]

Sweetz: Oh Wowey how exciting Come on Xander lets be 'aveing you!

Eswemba:Fair play to you i really need to get back to the gym i've not been in ages, im still carrying baby weight, it's true when i fell pregnant i started eating everything in sight, i lost the babe but not he weight oops, i really need to shake it before i get pregnant again.

Runner: Fx'd for a girl for you, i really want a girl too but i'd be happy with justa baby at the mo.

Garfie: thanks honey, i know im being silly, glad your focusing on othr stuff a holiday is a great idea where you off too? Were going to Scottland for a few days in a couple of weeks, my OH is Scottish so were going to see family and taking my step son on a plane for the first time, it's so exciting!

ipjkp: Glad everything is ok with bub.

Never: Happy 35 weeks, nearly D day for you!!!

Mama: Make sure you let the men do the heavy lifting and that's good advice for all women not just the pregnant ones

AFM, Im doing alright, feeling a bit anxious today as im meeting some friends tonight and one of them is pregnant, it's the first time i've seen her since she told me she's pregnant, via a generic text on new years day cheers for that, I happy for her but struggling with it all, hopefully i'll be able to put all my jealously and bitterness aside and just be pleased for my friend, fx'd anyway.

[mowat]

Hey everybody. So exciting to hear how everyone is doing---so much going on!

I'm currently sitting on the couch with a heating pad on my belly and a glass of wine nearby. Went for acupuncture today and he actually did more of a massage---but not pleasant at all! So painful! Better be worth it. He thinks I have some clotting or something... I'm not sure, but he suggested the heat on the belly. As soon as I put it on my belly started gurgling. Hmmm, something going on.

Also decided to start taking baby aspirin. Not sure if I need it or not, but I thought it couldn't hurt. I also read that orgasm is a great way to bring blood to the uterus to repair a thin lining. Hmmm, seems like a good idea!

Counting down to O next week, and then another dreaded 2ww. Ugh.

 

[Starry Night]

Mowat - I love the idea of orgasm fixing a thin lining. For once the medicine is something enjoyable. Good luck as you chase that egg.

AFM - I plan on testing Thursday. I should be 12 or 13dpo by then so it should be a fairly accurate result. I am feeling really out of it. No real major symptoms and I checked my cp. I normally don't but have been really obsessing. I'm no expert but it seemed low and open. Of course, I am still clinging to that crazy hope that I am pregnant so that tension of hope vs 'reality' is getting me low. I just want to know! I usually like to wait until I'm several days late for AF but this time around I just can't wait. I'm going mad.

 

[ESwemba84]

Dang, there is so much going on here!

Mama, yeah I wouldn't move anything heavy if I was you either. That's what men are for!

Starry, good luck testing. Sometimes no symptoms are a good sign. I had absolutely nothing before I found out I was pregnant. I wasn't really paying attention to my cycles though, so that could have been it!

Never, wow your little one is almost here! So exciting.

Lpjkp, glad to hear everything is ok.

Mowat, hopefully all that helps!

If I missed anyone, sorry, and hope you are doing ok.

AFM, just waiting on that OPK to turn +. Still pumped about the gym. I think that as much as I want to be pregnant again like yesterday, I never pictured me knocked up while 80 lbs overweight. I have, for most of my life, been at a normal weight, and the last 2 years I've gained 90 lbs. So, when my husband took a picture of me the other day, I was horrified. Like, I could see "me" underneath, but I don't hardly recognize myself anymore, and that's why I'm ready and willing to put a lot of work into losing weight.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Hey everyone Glad that you all seem to be doing ok, Starry, FX'd for you!

So I went out last night with a pregnant friend of mine, it was really hard, she's got quite a bump now even though she's only about 16 weeks, we didn't really talk about and i felt bad that i didn't ask about it at all, the one thing she did say about kids waa she complained about xmas saying that her neice and nephew are so materilistic (Urm hello theyre 7 and 2 what do you expect) and i said 'oh well next xmas you'll have a 6 month old baby to enjoy' and she said 'Oh it'll be too young so it wont make a difference' I honestly just wanted to smack her right in the face, how dare she!, she has the best gift she could ever wish for and she doesn't appeiciate it.
She just decided to 'sorta' 'maybe' if it happens it happens' for a baby because she thinks that's what she's supposed to do now she's been married for a few years (im guessing) and she's just falls pregnant at the drop of a hat and everythings fine, now im pleased for her i really am, i wouldn't wish what happened to us on my worst enemy but i just wish it wasn't quite so easy for her, it's not fair! she has no idea!

 

[Sweetz33]

Yay Never! 35 weeks! You go girl!

 

[feistymomma]

Ok Question- I O'd early this month, which was on Jan 20th. AF usually doesn't show up until around the 10th through the 12th. So, my question is...when should I test? Should I wait until around the 10th? I am feeling a little crampy, kind of like light period cramps? Is this a bad sign? I am just so nervous?? what do you think??????

 

[runnergrl]

if you did O on the 20th, a test would work today or tomorrow... up to you! Good luck! Ive always gotten my BFP at 10dpo..

 

[feistymomma]

eep! that's scary! Thanks runnergirl! I almost feel like I am not ready to know....
