ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[flyingduster]

Mummy, yeah I know I'm trying to feel flutters & bubbles, but so often I'm hungry too (I know it's hunger when it's noisey!) so it's hard to know if possibly it's a little hungry or if it's bub.... But I will be patient, and I will feel it soon I'm sure..... In another few years, these few days/weeks of waiting for movement will seem like nothing, so I can cope with waiting. lol!


Preethi, I have headaches a fair bit too, usually a paracetamol is enough to get rid of them though, or at least drop them back to being easy to ignore. I CANNOT work very well if I have a headache, so while I'd rather not take too much pain killers, I sorta need it to function! I can generally get away with just one first thing in the morning if I wake up with a headache, and then possibly another in the evening so I can get to sleep (sleep is sorta necessary to being able to work too! lol) so it's not like I'm popping pills all the time..... :/

Oh, and looking forward to seeing updated pics of your new place and your bump!!! I'll try get a new bump pic this weekend...


Sarah; yay for booking everything! How exciting!!!! When do you leave?? And I can definitely understand that having all this other stuff takes the stress and focus off TTC, and I'm sure that with less worry and emotional stress in it, it'll probably happen much easier too!!!



ny, our nursery is pretty much fully kitted out now... lol!

The bassinet (it will go into our bedroom closer to the time. For now, we don't need to take up the room yet so it's sitting in the nursery!)

The room, standing in the door way. Changing table in the window, armchair in the corner, there's a book shelf on the wall by my right arm just out of view too.

Nyp, i cant have a nursery because like i mentioned before we are in a one bed apt now and barely have space for ourselves, never mind another room, we are trying to get new wardrobes fitted in the living room to accommodate some of our stuff. i have no idea where we are going to put babys stuff, it is going to be very difficult, but we will have to manage until next year and we will have to move again after baby if space becomes too small, baby will be in our room itself and its stuff in the living room somewhere.

flying, i have had such bad headaches, but i have willed myself not to take even a single paracetamol. i want to stay natural as much as i can, i already feel like i have so many complications, i want to try and steer away from any unwanted medicine , so i try and cure myself with sleep, tea, cold compress packs etc.

in my next post below, i will be sharing my bump pics and three pics of our new home, there isnt much to see in the bedroom so basically it is the balcony view and living room pics.

Sarah YAY for vegas !! i say enjoy it while you still can.. ive always wanted to go and now with a baby on the way, i dont think its going to be possible for a very long time ! hopefully you will fall pregnant on that trip ! and yes you are right, it is so nice to have something to look forward to !

flying, so excited for your anatomy scan in a few days !!!

the only thing i have to look forward to now, is my anatomy scan on the 7th, but i have 18 long days to go !!

Sometimes lots of headaches can be caused by a lack of magnesium. Try taking a magnesium supplement, or even eating a banana a day - might help.

Nice pics babyhopes.

Awesome about vegas sarah!

Flying - your nursery is looking really great!

 

[babyhopes2323]

awesome nursery flying.. i wish i could deck out one., i dont have a spare room for one though !

 

[nypage1981]

Cute nursery! I want one. Lol. Now I know i will hafta have one more baby. You know, just for the nursery. Bah. Kidding. I love the wall color in that room of yours!

Preethi your bump looks great and love the view! I don't have an extra room for baby either and its really bumming me out! I jusy wanna decorate a nursery so bad. Oh well, its very trivial when I think of the big picture. I am the same as you with taking meds. I get the headaches every other day and just suffer with them. I don't want to interfere and want to be able to feel if it is severe, or if doesn't go away on its own as that's a problem to get checked for.

Huggles nice tip on bananas. Good thing I love them right now! I want like 2 a day when I buy them. How are you feeling! Headaches, sickness, cravings, tired, sore? Any complaints?

Ivan going through another exhaustion stage. I cannot stay awake, and when I'm awake I am sooooooo tired. Ugh. Also, I heard on another thread that phases of headaches occur a lot of times around baby growth spurts, so that's kind of fun to think.

I didn't really have a problem with smoke at the casinos. We stayed at an amazing suite at the Aria and loved it but also paid a lot more than you guys are and had to eat out or have room service every meal. The food was fantastic though.

Honeymoon Album

The steaks and crabcakes meal at the very end was a gift from Mark's sister. That bill had to be over $100 with apple cider. A pizza was like $20.

lovely pics! I cant wait to see all that new city centre area, we were last there 2 or 3 years ago, and we'd been going once a year back then. we've stayed at a bunch of different hotels, we love the marriot as its a full one bedroom suite with kitchen, for so cheap! its right on the street next to the planet hollywood so very close to everything. the money we save I can use for shopping or gambling

 

[sarahincanada]

Yay for Vegas! When do you go? I want a babymoon so fricken bad, but too mug to buy so can't afford it. bummer! I can't wait to see some pics of Vegas you will hafta share! I forgot smoking was allowed in Vegas. So weird, I have not been anywhere you could smoke in years!

hey ny, we go the last week in july I know its sooooo weird that people can smoke there, its ok if you are just walking through but if you end up sitting and gambling it can get quite smokey. I also love those massive strawberry daquiries you can buy, I dont drink usually but I do in vegas! so either way Im happy, Im either pregnant and ecstatic or I will enjoy vegas to the fullest!!

Sarah; yay for booking everything! How exciting!!!! When do you leave?? And I can definitely understand that having all this other stuff takes the stress and focus off TTC, and I'm sure that with less worry and emotional stress in it, it'll probably happen much easier too!!!

Im really happy to have some other things to think about. and after the summer if nothing has happened I am going for help. someone in the over 35 folder was talking about her IUI and it sounds pretty cool as they can measure the follices and een your uterine lining.

I love your babs room!!! awww cant wait till theres a bab in the photo and I cant wait one day you will all be looking at my babs room photos...you will all stick around even if it takes me years wont you!!!

that was exactly why I persuaded hubby to go....I was saying this is the perfect time for us to travel, before babies. But we are a bit broke right now, but I can always find the money (credit card!!). I also hope to take my family on a trip to Florida when they come but wont be booking that for a while.

LOVE the pics!!! your bump is soooo cute. Love the place, I cant believe you live there, it looks like a vacation resort, Im jealous!

 

[Huggles]

Huggles nice tip on bananas. Good thing I love them right now! I want like 2 a day when I buy them. How are you feeling! Headaches, sickness, cravings, tired, sore? Any complaints?

Nope, nothing really. I've had the odd headache, but i always suffer from a lot of headaches so relative to normal i've probably actually had fewer. I drink a paracetomol when i get them though as otherwise they become full blown migraines.
I don't really seem to ever get "pregnancy symptoms" as such. I do tend to get a thumping and sometimes racing heart, but that settles on it's own. Same happened last time. Dr says it's just because of the extra blood volume. But it can cause breathlessness when it happens. Then i just sit down and breath slowly until it passes. Other than that I might as well not even be pregnant for all my lack of symptoms.
It was the same last time though - my body just seems to cope pretty well with pregnancy (except for my cervix that is!).

 

[nypage1981]

Huggles I have been getting the heart racing too..almost turns into an anxiety attack i think? Ive never felt that way before and it happens often. I cant settle it down easily either. I didn't actually put this together with a pregnancy symptom but thank you for clarifying that it is. I was getting worried. Is it indicative of anything or completely normal?

Seems your body is making up for the terrible time the cervix gives you! Guess if I were you i'd take the no symptoms because the stitching thing doesnt sound great. You have any pics of anything? I'd love to see some of S africa. I have heard its beautiful. Or your house, or bump, or anything!

Sarah- I am so excited for you to go to vegas. I want to live vicariously through you now so take some pics. ALso, yep, love the huge margaritas/daquiris. Those big, tall glasses I assume you mean? One took me a whole day to drink and gave me gut rot but loved it! Nice how you can just walk the streets with one of those. Seeing any shows? Its nice you dont have to go out to eat for EVERY meal, with the kitchen. That is what we did in Disney. It saves a bit, and plus, I get sick of eating out for every time for a whole week. This way you can have some fruit and eggs and plain stuff sitting around too.

exactly, I find it hard eating out 3 times a day, so this way we can have breakfast and a light dinner in the apartment and have a lunch out somewhere. and yes I do mean those tall glasses! I get a freezy headache after a while and hubby finishes it!! I will see what shows are there, we usually go to something but sometimes we prefer to take the $100-$200 for tickets and go gamble instead. We've seen some neat things there though.....one year it was an Andre Agassi charity concert with a bunch of bands and another year it was the Radio Music Awards and so we went (both at MGM!). so hopefully there will be something

 

[nypage1981]

Lol when my girlfriends and I went they dragged me along to "thunder down under" show....that was interesting!. I was bummed we went in november and was pretty cold so no pool lying and suntanning. It surely will be hot when you go!

LOL Ive seen the ad for that, looks sooooo cheezy!! were any of them hot??
we went in december once and surprised it was so cold. its going to be crazy hot in july

 

[nypage1981]

Well Idk, they looked creepy to me. I guess they're all hot, but I think mostly gay as well! Lol. They pulled me up on stage as a part of their dirty show prop so that was humiliating. Specially since I was the one out of my friends who didn't want to go to this!

 

[sherylb]

We went in August and it was hot but it was a different hot than we are used to here in Texas so we didn't mind it. Here we have those temperatures with humidity so it makes it feel a lot hotter and you get sweaty. We didn't sweat in Vegas except for the time we took a cab to Treasure Island and figured out our tickets were for the wrong week so we walked back to the Aria. I grew to really appreciate the people selling water on the street though.
