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

[Mariahs Mom]

Happy birthday mariah ) and congratulations Starry on 30 weeks nearly into single figures !!!

Ha ha. Once I had hit viability I had told DH that I would REALLY start to feel more relaxed about my chances once I got to 30 weeks and last week I looked at him and said, "remember when I said that? Well, I lied. I meant I'll feel better once I'm 32 weeks". He just rolled his eyes and said, "I figured as much". I've been pushing back the "now I can relax" milestone the entire pregnancy.

I've been thinking, am I the next one to have a baby? Left and Tricia have had their little men and I can't remember if anyone else on this thread is due ahead of me or not.

Mama - aw, our little ones grow so quickly, don't they? And don't worry about crawling yet. I had been worried about DS as he wasn't crawling at that point either and my mom emailed me an article that said it's more important that they are mobile in some fashion by 10ish months. Rolling and scooching count so it doesn't have to be crawling. My son didn't crawl until his first birthday but he had been scooching around on his back a mile a minute for months at that point.

Little one - your girlie is such a cutie! And you're right, there is so much to be thankful for in the face of our grief. My DH has been my rock through it all and I had my son to cheer me up for my last two losses. He's a monkey too. And yeah, it's so hard to resist spoiling our little rugrats.

OMG I'm going to be the same way. Haha 32 wks is a great milestone!

 

[Mariahs Mom]

So happy to hear it went well

Thanks huh...how are you? I've missed talking to u...

Happy Birthday

I'm doing ok, keeping busy. I'm trying to get back on the Slimming World wagon and also going to the gym. I'm stiff and sore today after a new class on Tuesday!

Thank you!!!

That's good that you are getting back in shape, I will definitely need to do that once I have the baby. I am getting married next year.

Where are you going for vacation?

 

[Mrs W 11]

Mariahsmum happy birthday and I'm so glad your procedure went well. Fingers crossed baby stays all snug in there now until he/she is due!

Brunette, hope your appointment goes well tomorrow and they start with tests to find out why your losses have happened. Every day a step closer to holding baby #2 in your arms.

Nearly there starry!! 30 weeks, I bet you have a lovely bump now!!

Glad you are staying positive little one. It is hard. I'm struggling at the moment but as long as some of us are up when others are down we can all cheer one another up on our bad days!

I just can't wait to be pregnant and it feels so unreachable. And I just feel so so sad

 

[brunettebimbo]

We are going to Center Parcs. It's our first holiday! Looking forward to it

 

[Little_one]

Mrs W you will fall pregnant I know it. Maybe you and hubs need to book a last minute holiday and enjoy some time off together. A little relaxation can do the world of good! I know how easy it is to say don't stress but knowing how it feels it is next to impossible.
Maybe all us girls should disappear for a Spa weekend!! God I think it's well deserved.
Ooooh sounds lovely Brunette! I hope you have a fab time. Personally I love the idea of the fundraising for Cancer Research, I don't think people realise how much good that money does. Xx

 

[Starry Night]

Starry do you know what you are having? It's so exciting I cannot wait to see a photo of the little one when they arrive. Just think babe regardless now that baby has an incredible chance of survival so try to relax and make the most of the next 10 weeks the last time it'll be the 3 of you! That is both scary and exciting!! ❤️

We're having a little girlie so we'll have one of each. I'm really excited to meet her!

And I do have quite the bump going on. I'm huge. I got really, really big with DS too. I was SHOCKED when the doctor told me he was only 6 pounds 14 oz. ha ha Everyone was predicting a 9 or 10 pounds and, honestly, I was too. With this one I'm already getting those comments and the "are you sure it's not twins?". I haven't taken a bump photo in awhile though. I'm so, so uncomfortable already. Have a hard time getting around and breathing. These last 10 weeks should be fun.

DH and I went for a vacation this summer just the two of us and it was so lovely to get away and just have fun and remember what made us fall in love with each other. I was thankful I wasn't ovulating that weekend so we could just focus on loving and relaxing. It really helped brighten my perspective on life after two m/c's in a row.

 

[Little_one]

Oh that is lovely. So you and Unexpected are blessed with one of each. My darling OH was so gutted when we found out Mia was a girl! He so desperately wanted a boy hahah, but then he laid eyes on her and was instantly in love. Funny isn't it, how having a baby really makes you realise that a whole part of your heart you never knew existed just swells with love like you can only ever dream about.
Love at first sight really does exist. How do you feel girls about becoming a mum of two? Anxious, excited .. both? Lol.

My brother text this evening saying he propsed to his girlfriend it's their year anniversary today (only together as she got pregnant) their little boy is 5 months and I have to release my frustrations ... she's the bitch from hell. (They need help as they aren't the best parents, they're lazy and smoke around him, don't bath him regular enough, or get him weighed - So I said something and now not allowed to see him either!) so I can't stand her, I'm happy he is happy but this is one of those that I wish I could pick his partner lol. And both soooo young she's only 17 and he 20! God help me lol. I sound awful don't i!
Please tell me I'm not the only one with a potential In Law from hell?!? X

 

[brunettebimbo]

No I would have said something too. There is no need for your children to be dirty or not looked after properly.

Hubby and I got lost in the moment last night and ended up having unprotected Ooops. CD14 aswell!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks little one! I really hope so. We can't really afford a holiday as we splashed out on a nice pre baby no 2 holiday last September before I got pregnant. We've already had a few wkend away since the mc which have been nice but it still isn't happening and I'm just finding it really hard.

I would have said something to your brother as well. No excuse for their lo to not be looked after properly. X

 

[brunettebimbo]

I'm back from my appointment and not really feeling any wiser. The Doctor was lovely but not very clear. Hubby and I go back on Monday for blood tests. I didn't quite get the names of them all but I know one is Karyotyping and one is blood clotting disorder beginning with T! I'm to go back for a scan in June to check my cyst. I didn't quite feel up to asking too many questions. The place where our appointment was was bang in the middle of the ultrasound place and the delivery suite. There was pregnant women and baby posters everywhere. One nurse even came out and asked I was there for a scan so I replied I wish. She soon scooted off!

 

[Left wonderin]

Brunette why do they do that ! I remember going in for my dnc after my mmc and bleeding quite badly enough I had to sit on a towel . I was put in the waiting room with couples that were waiting to be admitted for planned inductions and c sections all smiley and excited while I was devastated ! Also when I went back for my follow up appointment I was left waiting slap bang in the middle of a pre natal clinic surrounded by bumps of all shapes and sizes ! There is just no sensitivity guess there is just no thought behind it .

Anyway hope you are ok today

 

[Little_one]

Oooops! But what's the betting this one time happens to be the month lol. Because you weren't trying etc. I'm gutted that you aren't any wiser brunette. What will the blood test determine?

I feel like such a horrible bitch about my previous post regarding my brother, all I can do is support him and hope for his sake that things work out. But I can't sit back and watch my nephew uncared for lile he should be and not say anything. That would make me just as bad! Poor little mite. X

Aww I'm sorry the doct appt didn't work out the way you wanted it to. I hate when that happens...and that sucks the suite you were in was smack dead in the middle of the L&D, UGH...they should really rethink that...

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Hey ladies, just wanted to give you all an update (post surgery). After the procedure I was told by the doctor and nursing staff that I will prob have light bleeding and have cramps for up to a week.

The first day/night of the surgery I had these bad cramps/burning in my cervix and I was spotting. If my bladder was full, it literally felt like severe cramps. I was so uncomfortable and could barely walk without assistance...The next day EVERYTHING went away and I was back to normal I was so relieved!!! The only discomfort I have is a sore back from the epidural. I'm so glad I'm recovering well. Thank you all for praying and wishing me and my family the best of luck!!

 

[Little_one]

Oh Mariah's Mom I wish I could give you a huge hug! So glad it's all gone well but symptoms like that post op are so common, however it doesn't help to ease your anxieties. However now we have your 20 week scan to look forward too!! How will you feel if bubs is a girl? (Hope I'm not being too nosey!) if so tell me to go away! Lol.
Did anybody ever see that post of parents who lost their 3 Children in a car accident 2 daughters and a son and a year later gave birth to triplets, oddly 2 girls and a boy!! X

Fantastic news, so happy for you.

Left wondering - That is really shitty

Little One - I didn't really understand much, all I heard was Karyotyping and a test for a blood clotting disorder.

I heard that story. I think they were on Oprah a couple of years ago. Not sure their triplets were born exactly a year later. The husband had to get a vasectomy reversal and they may have needed IVF or fertility drugs in the end, but yes, they got 2 girls and a boy. Such an amazing story after such horrible heartache.

Mariahsmom - glad you're feeling better. Even with warning I'm sure those symptoms were scary.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Yes I saw that story as well. So so tragic but 3 lovely miracles that followed.

Brunette when is your next appointment? Maybe you could write all of your questions down between now and then ready to ask, I usually have to do that or I forget. And yes, when I found out I'd had my mmc and had my tablets inserted to start the mc off I was in the antenatal area with all the women waiting for their 12 & 20 weeks scans. I was sobbing, make up everywhere, a total wreck and they were all staring at me. I know they probably felt sorry for me but it was absolutely awful!! I'm so sorry you had to do that today

Mariahsmum I'm glad you could update us and I'm so glad you are ok now. Sorry you had those scary symptoms afterwards but I'm pleased its gone now. Fingers crossed that's that now and baby is all snug in there. Thinking of you x

I'm feeling like my anxiety is building as my bfp-less cycles mount up. My cycle is so erratic that analysing it is exhausting. I'm constantly peeing on opks, checking cm, looking at my temps (they are all SO high pre ov this cycle and I can only think its because I've been unwell this week) and its all pointless.

 

[Left wonderin]

Mrs W I'm so sorry you feel like you do right now . TTC is not an easy journey ! Is is crap sometimes ! Are you using Fertility Friend to chart ? I found it really helpful after my mmc . Its hard to stay positive the whole time and somedays its damm impossible ! I always found on days like those a glass of wine or two helped also for me organising to do something totally not related to ttc helped . Meeting up with the girls , getting my hair done , going shopping anything that did not have ties to Tcc or a babies . It reminded me that there is a life outside the madness of ttc and when ready either in a few hours , after a good sleep , after a day a week I'd get back on the ttc train ready to go again with batteries recharged .
As I used to think ok if its too hard I can choose to give up and move on and let it go , but I knew that was never an option for me , I had made the decision for me there was only one choice to keep going , against all odds , even if it ment trying unsuccessfully till menopause arrived I'd do it ! Quitting was not an option , not for me ! No matter how hard and crap it got . So I let the bad days come , observed oh here is a crap day, this might last a day or a week but in the end I knew those feelings would go again and hope would return .

For me there was always a point , there was always a hope ....... There just had to be.

I think my husband was a little dissapointed this one is a girl. He was convinced it was a boy lol. I was over the moon but I would have been either way. I'm really nervous about having 2 under 2 but blessed and greatful at the same time.

You don't sound awful at all. I wouldn't have been able not to say anything in that situation xx
