I'm just gonna link my thread to here since it's so difficult to load pictures from my phone. :flower:
 
I feel like something was catching my attention but then I tried to make the pic bigger and couldn't see anything. :dohh:
 
Jess- that's totally what's throwing me off too. Since I've started testing I will keep testing daily so will update tomorrow.
 
I am so crampy today!! Hopefully that with all my creamy cm lead to my bfp!!

Eh, but seriously these cramps!
 
Oh krissie i hope it turns to your BFP! I totally know what shadow you mean, 7dpo is just so early.. but who knows &#129300;
I hope your cramps are worth it :)

I went to see my mom for coffee today and she told me that my older sister was born on her due date, and then me and my younger sister were a bit over a week early. Combined with the fact that my cervix has started to shorten and open from the inside since 31 weeks i am getting my hopes up that we may be able to welcome this little girl sooner rather than later.

I'm back at the drs. tomorrow and will get the cerclage pessary out. OH says he thinks she'll be here within a week of getting it out. It would be best if she stays in until 37 weeks so that she's definitely full term but i have to admit I am getting so anxious to meet her, i definitely wouldn't mind her coming soon
 
Krissie - fx those are good signs!! I had some awful cramps in the early weeks with this one!

Heike - wow! Getting so close!! Hope she stays in place until the 37 weeks but either way it looks like you'll have her soon!! <3
 
Well it turns out i was right, she definitely won't stay in there for long.

I got the pessary removed (which by the way hurt so bad :( ) and it turns out it was pretty much all that was keeping her in. Cervix has shortened to 1,5cm and i am already dilated, he could get his finger through to baby's head so i'd guess 1-2 cm dilated.
And that was right after taking out the pessary when i was still lying. He has me come back later today to check again, if something changes from my cervix carrying all the pressure of baby on its own, while standing and walking.

I think it may actually be a real possibility of baby girl making her entrance within the week! I am now getting very nervous but at the same time i'm getting so excited to meet her.

I'll definitely update later today again!
But seriously ... i'm having a baby soon!
 
Oh wow!! I'm sure you're nervous, but how exciting at the same time! You're LO is almost here! Keep us updated and let us know how your next visit goes!
 
Okay so it doesn't seem to be as drastic anymore now haha
There was no change in dilation when i went in again and no contractions so my cervix is definitely strong enough to hold her for now!

Now it's just the waiting game, could be any day, could also still be after her due date haha

My wild guess is that i'll be able to keep next appointment (next tuesday) but will go into labour before my appointment after that (tuesday after next tuesday), so sometime between 37+1 And 38 weeks which to me sounds like a great time frame to have a baby hahaha

Any other wild guesses? :rofl:
 
Hmm, I think you will are probably right and will have her between your next two appointments. How exciting!!

I got to see a 5 month old baby today. Man it made me want one even more. Which is probably bad since I have convinced myself this is our cycle, so if it is not I am going to be so upset. I know better than to get my hopes up but its so hard when everything is pointing to it. Plus "that feeling" I have had with the last two is there.

I cannot even think what our next move will be if af arrives this weekend, because she just won't! Probably just me having an emotional breakdown all week.
 
Krissie, you're still so early and everything sounds so promising, i'm having everything crossed that AF won't show up this weekend!
I didn't see anything on today's test but 8dpo is still super early for that.
But i understand how seeing a baby makes it all even harder!


Also (i'm so sorry i feel like i've been talking about myself all day...) i think i may have lost my Mucus Plug just now.. There was a big glob of what looked like stretchy but at the same time a bit clumpy mucus and it was streaked with bits of blood!
However, since i just got the pessary removed today which must've really irritated my cervix tissue it just might be from that as well... but it really was a big blood streaked chunk of glibbery CM ..
I'm a nervous but excited mess today haha
 
I am guessing before your Tuesday appt! Exciting!

Krissie I didn't see anything on today's test but like the other girls said it is still super early! I have everything crossed for you!

I don't feel pregnant really today, except of course as I say that I get some dull ache in my uterus to remind me haha. I didn't get a chance to eat my mid morning snack today and didn't get sick so that was awesome but of course worrying. I'm actually feeling pretty calm about it all which is surprising. Think I have just finally accepted that worrying will do nothing and all I can do is enjoy every day that I remain pregnant haha. I am so ready to order some maternity pants for work, I am so bloated! I took two pairs of work pants to the seamstress today because one needs to be hemmed and one needs a hem repair and she said they are backed up and it will be 2 weeks before they are done. All I could think was in 2 weeks they won't even fit :dohh: I am trying to eat good and I have been except for the Halloween candy :blush: Hopefully when all the candy is gone I can drop a few lbs haha I have already come to terms with the fact that I can't stay away from the candy :haha: I found some dress pants on Amazon that are early term under the belly maternity pants and they are only $20 so I think I might just order them, I'm sick of being uncomfortable and I can't go up a size because the legs are too big ugh
 
Maternity clothes are so difficult to pick. I have some left over from ds but I always felt so frumpy.

Good luck Heike, definitely could be part of your plug. I didn't lose mine until I was in labor. It was pretty disgusting.
 
Had my 30wk apointment today. Everything looks good. Doctor gave me a belly support band (they'll bill insurance, which she said usually pays but if not it's not expensive). I wasn't sure about it at first but the minute they put it on me I felt SO MUCH BETTER! I might be able to actually move around the classroom better at work now and not sit the whole day! :haha:

Odd story, so my doctor is running late today, which is rare for her. Usually she's right on time or 5-10 mins late max but today she was running 30-40 minutes late and the receptionist apologizes profusely and tells us its becuase she had to leave midday to deliver a baby. Totally makes sense to me. I'm surprised she even came back after that. Anyway, the nurse apologizes and so does doctor. Every time I keep telling them "not a problem". Dr actually tells me "Wow, thank you for being so understanding". I'm surprised and say "well, if you're delivering a baby how can I not be flexible. That could be me in a couple months and I'd appreciate you actually showing up to the delivery :haha: ", she told me that most of her pregnant patients actually yell at the receptionists or nurse over it (but never the doctor) and they've had a rough day because most of hte patients were really not understanding or patient about it.

This just blows me away. Coming from a doctor who is NEVER late (and I can honestly say that I've never been in a doctor's office that was this on time, ever. I'm used to waiting 30-60mins past an appointment time), I can't believe these women would be angry that she's late because she was delivering a baby....when they are all about to be in that same situation soon, and I can guarantee these same people will all be pissed if she doesn't arrive on time to deliver their baby because she had pregnant patients to see! Ugh. I just felt bad for my doctor, and for her nurse (who is an incredibly sweet woman, and great at her job, and has to bear the brunt of the craziness).

Anyway, just a random rant.


Heike - I think you're probably right, she'll probably come between your appointments. <3 What you are describing does sound kind of like a mucus plug but I would have no idea, honestly! :dohh:

Krissie - Awww :hugs: I'm so hoping this is your month!! I can't see anything different on today's test than yesterdays, but that isn't a surprise for me either (as we all know on this thread). And 8DPO is still really early. AF is due this weekend?


Shan - Maternity clothes can be such a pain! I seriously started wearing the "below the belly" maternity pants by 8 weeks because the bloating was just too much for me to be comfortable. I say order the maternity pants just for comfort sake! Either that or get that band (my sister gave me one, lifesaver!) that you can wear over your pants and keep your pants unbuttoned, but it keeps the pants up. I don't know where to get one though, or which ones really work well because I tried one that sucked but the one my sister gave me works miracles. I use it often. Ooh and if you have a Ross anywhere I would see if you can find anything there. I got a ton of cheap maternity stuff there, and pretty good quality.
 
Yea, af is due Sunday. I'm getting my typical pre af rage so now feeling discouraged. It also could be dh was being unreasonable today. :growlmad:

So just hoping it's normal early pregnancy hormones. I am user dizzy tonight, which is unusual for for me. No idea if it's a pregnancy sign though.
 
Krissie, it could also be early pregnancy hormones! And being dizzy could totally be a symptom as well. I'm still having a good feeling about this cycle for you :dust: :)

Shan, i had to stop wearing my regular jeans super early as well due to bloat. Since I didn't want to get maternity pants yet then i just got a couple super cheap jeggings type pants with elastic waistbands. But It's probably not as easy with more dressy pants :/

Jess, glad the band is giving you relief! Being comfortable makes such a difference and is so important for feeling good and capable overall especially when it comes to work!

Afm, i lost some more plug during the night, not chunks as big as last night though, but i'm now quite sure it's plug!
No other news though, no pain or contractions or even discomfort, except that i also started to have diarrhea last night and had it again during the night and now this morning still a bit. That could also be from eating Fast Food for dinner last night though :rofl:
