not knocker watch lol knicker watch lol xx

 

[SmileyShazza]

II'm also on knocker watch.

How's everyone feeling at the moment? xx

Thats a strange synptom

In all honesty I am absolutely crapping it - am too on knicker watch! At least the extra trips to the loo are upping the amount of steps I'm doing each day

I agree that they are complete imbeciles! I ovulated on cd 17.. and according to that am 1 or 2 days later but no big deal! Hopefully my OB will be smart enough to listen to me about that.

BOO for ickiness! It always seems like whenever I lay down to go to bed it is the worst! I'm really not looking forward to sleepytime

The first nurse I went to see (before my period was due but had a bfp from first response) had SUCH bad bedside manner, I was blubbing so bad I couldn't get out of my seat to leave the room. She basically thought I was imagining I was pregnant because it was 'impossible to "know" so soon'. (Like one of the other lovely ladies said, if you are ttc, or simply interested / aware of your own bodily rhythms, you KNOW. You feel it. I "knew" two days before implantation)
Then she was behaving like she'd never seen anyone cry before.

I'll be seeing her later today, can't wait to rub her silly nose in it

Yay!! Congrats on halfway through First Tri!! I'm slowly getting past the paranoia!

Good morning ladies

I have my second set of bloods today (after bleeding monday) and then depending on the results possibly a scan this afternoon. My results Wednesday were 10733 so really i need them to come in over 20000, i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

In my heart i really dont think i have lost it completely just by how i am feeling (this morning bb's hurt, feel sick and have a horrid blood taste in my mouth) i hope these are all good signs (plus i only bleed monday and now nothing at all) I just hope im not wrong!!

Ill update you later x

 

[Twinminator]

[Rainbowpea]

welcome smileyshazza. I also had a mmc in Nov so know exactly how you are feeling and some sticky back atchya! xx

 

[SmileyShazza]

Hi Rainbow Pea - I recognise you from the TTCAL section

Congratulations on your bfp

How are you feeling? Nervous? Excited? Fancy being buddies? It's good to have someone who knows how it feels to be newly pregnant after an mmc

 

[codegirl]

Good morning ladies! is it ok if I join in? I just got my yesterday so EDD will be March 11, 2011.

I'm Terri from Canada and I have one other baby, Edward is 17 months. He is also a "BnB baby"

I have my first Dr. appointment next Thursday

 

[Jo.Fo]

Ok guys, am I strange?

Two weeks after my 20 BFPs (well not far off!) I have just done another test just to see a dark test line. All my were fairly faint to start with as it was early, I just really wanted a dark line! This time, the test line came up before the control line! Very happy!

Any of you guys done something similar or equally daft?!

 

[codegirl]

I actually was thinking of retesting. Not that my line was faint or anything the first time, it came up before the control line like yours, it's just that it all seems a bit unreal.

I have one test left so I might do it on the weekend to show DH.

 

[SmileyShazza]

I have done 6 tests since Wednesday evening! I think it's natural to want to see the line get darker and I know I will probably keep testing until it's actually sunk in that my lines are getting darker and the pregnancy appears to be progressing.

I'm going to do a CB digi on Sunday as OH never believes the IC's he likes to see those words come up. Am thinking it will probably say 2 - 3 weeks, then I will do another the week after just to see it change to 3+ weeks and then I will probably stop testing.

 

[Jo.Fo]

My husband thinks I'm crazy but each test puts a smile on my face!! It is the last one I promise (well cant guarantee that as I bought a twin pack, it would be rude not to use the second!!)

Mine were all faint as I tested really early but the one from this morning is ace!!

 

[africaqueen]

Good morning ladies!
Wow i go to bed and come on here and we have increased again! wooohooo.
March babies are deffo gonna take over the world!! haha.

Welcome to all the new ladies and beanies!

L82 - best of luck with your results. I am sure all will be fine as your numbers are great.

Lovin "knicker watch" and "knocker watch" LMAO!!! I have been doing both since day 1!!

I am feeling a little calmer this morning after a good night's sleep and have realised that what will be, will be and my non stop hysteria about it will make no difference at all, so i may as well carry on with life, be happy im pregnant right now and pray for positive news at the next scan. Seems there is no other option right now.

Hope everyone else is feeling ok. I am a lil crampy(very mild) and feel a lil sick but im doing ok xxx

This is how I am beginning to look at it now, there is nothing we can do apart from live and healthily. We are blessed to be pregnant!

Plus, I'm enjoying all the cooking and housework my husband has decided to do!! Wish I could be pregnant all the time!

Good grief, you go to bed early, wake up late and look what happens ... 4 pages to catch up on

Twinminator - I had GBS with DD #2 there are 2 ways of testing, through swabs or through urine. The best time to be swabbed is around 35-37 weeks I believe. It can come and go so if you were tested at say 16 weeks and it came back positive, that doesn't neccessarily mean you will still be carrying it at full term. If you have it at 36 weeks then it's more than likely you will still have it when you give birth.

They don't routinely test for it here but I had thruch for 6 LONG months with my daughter so had countless swabs taken and it came up then. I'm going to request it this time on the NHS as I've previously tested positive. They will feel my full wrath if they dare refuse!!

Anyhoo, having it once, doesn't necessarily mean you will have it again, but there is a higher chance you will. If you do have it you need to have antibiotics prefereably at least 4 hours before giving birth. If there's time they like to give you 2 doses. I didn't have time to get any as I gave birth 30mins after getting to the hospital. If you don't receive the antibiotics, they monitor the baby for 24 hours and take swabs from its' nose and I think ears just to check it hasn't contracted it. Because of the antibiotics you can't have a water birth and you have to give birth in a hospital setting rather than a midwife led or birthing unit.


UK Girls, if you want the test you can get the kit free here :

https://www.medisave.co.uk/group-streptococcus-screening-test-p-7896.html?gclid=CIaj3_uN3qICFYIU4wodKikcyw

you just need to pay £32 for the lab to process it

Here's the group b strep website with loads of info. I think it's disgraceful that it's not routinely tested for in the UK!!
