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

[Huggles]

welcome to second tri ndh!

dew - good luck with your hsg and enjoy your holiday!

Sheryl - yay for the weight gain and good luck at your app! Hope you get the letter signed from your doc.
And so sorry to hear about the pastor

ny - sorry you didn't enjoy the beach

 

[flyingduster]

haha Preethi, I'm still leaning towards a girl when I think of bub, but really have noooooo idea either way!!! Less than 4 months to wait to find out though!!!


NDH, I'm glad you're feeling pretty good!

And NY, that sucks you didn't enjoy the beach! What was it about it that you didn't enjoy? Perhaps there's a way you can make it more comfy for yourself? Get a nice comfy lounging chair and a big umbrella so you're not in the sun and can be comfy perhaps? Just so you CAN at least not hate it...???


I lost a few pounds too, though have only thrown up a handful of times so far so it's nothing to do with that, but I know for me my appetite plummeted in the first tri; nothing really appealed to me, so I just nibbled bits of things and really just didn't eat much at all. I so far haven't gained *any* back yet, despite being able to eat better now, I'm still not eating nearly]/i] as much as I was pre-preg! And the bub is most certainly growing and getting heavier, so perhaps I'm burning off the calories lugging it about all day! lol!! I'm still working full time in my rather physical job, (which is starting to get harder at times now...!) so I can see how I could be still burning it all off! I'm not worried though, as I really am seriously overweight, so I KNOW my body has more than enough to keep itself and baby going nicely even if I'm not gaining weight! If I carry on at this rate though (not gaining anything at all) then I'm almost looking forward to what my weight will be after bub has left it's current residence...!

Ny, sorry you didnt enjoy the beach, i dont blame you though the heat is unbearable and you should keep yourself well hydrated at all times when out in the sun ! xx

NDH, glad youre feeling alright, cant wait to see your bump pics. xxxxx

sheryl, sorry about your local pastor, that is sad news..

flying, cant wait to find out what youre having in four months !

AFM, ive been gaining weight, i used to be 67 kilos before pregnancy and now i am 73.6 and i feel so lazy and fat. i have decided to start exercising everyday and ive walked this morning and it already makes me feel better. in my first three months, i barely gained any at all, i have gained them all recently.

hope everyone is doing fine, we have a long weekend here starting tomorrow due to another muslim public holiday.

 

[babyhopes2323]

the moslem holidays are probably the only good thing here as there are quite a few and they tend to tag them on with the weekends so that we get long weekends which is great ! but its too darn hot to do anything !

 

[nypage1981]

Good morning ladies!

Sarah- I know you are on a break but hope all is well with you! Cant wait til you are back but hoping its not with a CD1....

Preethi- doesnt sound like you've gained that much weight so I wouldnt worry about being fat and lazy! I have the issue that I was too much weight before pregnancy so it doesnt help to add on the lbs. Hope you stay cool in the air conditioning...or go to the mall! Are those inside? Here they are inside...

Flying- you are right, I need to find a comfy chair and I need a big, floppy beach hat to keep sun off my face and need to just make it bearable since my daughter is a fish in the summer months. Plus, this year cant be any worse than it will be next year with a new baby at the beach every day so I better enjoy it! Lol.

Huggles- i see you're 18 weeks, do you have a 20 week scan?

I get to have my 3d one this weekend so excited for that! I wanna see what my alien looks like when he's moving so much in there. Thinking i'll drink something super sugary before the scan in hopes to make him dance!

So, now that we have every prego in second tri....its time to really start throwing baby dust to Dew and Sarah!

 

[Huggles]

enjoy your scan this weekend ny!

I'm actually 19 weeks tomorrow!
Next scan is at 20+6, so in exactly 2 weeks' time. That's with the fetal assessment centre again so hoping for really clear pics like the one in my avatar at the moment (that was my 13 week one done there as well). last week's scan was just at my gynae so the quality of the pics was not very good which is why i didn't post them. But the scanning machines at the fetal assessment centre are much better so the pics are clearer. They will be doing the anomaly scan. I go there for the 2 main ones (13 and 21 weeks), but my gynae does the rest of the scans in his rooms. He likes to send his patients elsewhere for the two main scans both so he can have a second opinion of sorts (different set of eyes looking at the baby), and also becuase they are specialised in that area and spend all day every day looking at baby scans so they might notice something that he might miss. So that's why the 2 main anomaly type scans are done at the assessment centre and not by him.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Yep Ny, over here everything is definetely airconditioned. from the metro trains to the malls and its all indoors, people cannot live without air-conditioning here as it is hot all throughout the year.

so excited for our scans on the same day. hopefully my doc will be back on the 1st from her trip and i get to see her on the 2nd. if not then the 3rd. hoping its this week. otherwise i have to wait till the 10th.

but im pretty sure she is back this weekend.

Huggles, 2 more weeks. wow. xx

and yes your avatar pic is super clear ! i hate it when i get fuzzy pics !

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

just popping on to say hi, Im feeling very blah, and not pregnant at all!!! my temps are very weird too. oh well, at least I havent gotten my hopes up and I may still get a nice surprise. If I am not at least I get to go to vegas

look forward to catching up with you all next week, having this time off has made the 2WW so much more bearable, in fact I forget most of the time I am TTCing which is probably why I feel blah about it.

dew good luck tomorrow I do hope you can come and update us before you go on your trip. hope that your tubes are clear so it wont be painful, and that the flushing out gets you your bfp!!! its time!!

 

[MummyCat]

Good luck for the scans ladies

Good luck for the procedure tomorrow Dew

Keeping everything crossed for you Sarah

 

[sherylb]

Though my doctor was awesome about the sonogram stuff the college won't let me have a sonogram there b/c I have not had one. I complained enough that DH told me to make an appointment with the place that opened in April so my appointment is Wednesday of next week at 4:30. This will be better though as at the college I get no pictures or DVD from them and cameras are not allowed. Sound Diagnostics (for $100) gives me 9 printed pictures of my choosing, a DVD of the entire 20 min. sonogram, gender determination, and a report for the baby book. If we just love all the 2D pictures we can add them to our CD for $20. Yay!!! I have the best hubby ever!!

 

[flyingduster]

woohoo at all the scans coming up!!! I can't wait to see all the pics!


And huggles, omg, you're nearly 19 weeks already!? Sheesh!!! Nearly half way too!!!!


Sarah, Nice to see you, even if it's only briefly! Good on you keeping level headed about it all, but it'll be next week that'll be hard!!! lol. Especially if your temp goes back up, cos then it'll look like an implantation dip! lol!!!

 

[NDH]

Sarah many and much . I'm so hoping for good news in about a week FX.

Sheryl, too bad the college won't do your scan, but sounds like you guys have found an awesome deal! So lucky to get a DVD too!

Ny, enjoy the 3D scan!

Huggles, looking forward to your scan pics too in a couple weeks.

Preethi, I hope your doctor is back this week.

 

[nypage1981]

Huggles- that avatar is super good for 13 weeks. I love your babie's nose. Cant wait to see your 20 and the quality of picture you get then!

We do have a bunch of scans coming up so im excited for that!

Another girl got a bfp on my other thread! Sarah- she is 37 and got it natural so I am very pleased for her!

Preethi I hope we have a scan the same day! That would be neat and hope you get good pics too so we can get a good view of that baby!

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, nice to see you, missed you on here, but totally understand...FX'D for you.. and dew... fx'd for your HSG today, hope all goes well !!! xxx


Ny, i hope she is back too. i am phoning them today with hopes that they will let me know , but today is a public holiday so im not sure if they are working at all.

but im pretty sure it will be saturday or sunday. i hope we have it on the same day too, but then i will be off to my mums on sunday to use their scanner to upload the pics lol. i have to remember to ask for a pic ! she usually gives me one, but i want a good one this time!

sheryl, im glad youre getting a good scan with a DVD as well. thats great !

catherine , nice to see you on here !

 

[babyhopes2323]

yay just got news she is back to work on 2nd the saturday so my appointment is confirmed. ! xx phew.. now i have to wait only one more day. i am so damn impatient !

 

[Huggles]

Good luck with your scan on saturday babyhopes.

Sheryl - yay for getting a sonogram booked with those other people that will give you all the pics etc! And you'll find out the gender - wohoo!
And happy half way!!!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

Another girl got a bfp on my other thread! Sarah- she is 37 and got it natural so I am very pleased for her!

is that dee? I remember her from the over 35 group and she had a miscarriage, thats great news

hey did any of you have the really sore boobs thing before your bfp? it seems everyone in the over 35 folder their only symptom was really sore boobs. I am not feeling anything, some stabbing pains the other day 'down there' but Ive had that in the 2ww before. perhaps as Im not thinking about it Im not noticing anything. Im just not feeling it this month, the excitement of follicles from 2 weeks ago has worn off and not thinking about things has made me rather blah about TTC!!

Dew good luck today, you might be already having the procedure right now so sending pain free vibes down south

preethi yay cant wait for saturdays scan! and everyone elses coming up this week, very exciting. you will all soon be past half way

 

[sherylb]

Thanks! It feels so surreal still to wake up and lay on my back while the baby kicks. My doctor said yesterday that this pregnancy has been textbook perfect which is relieving to hear from him.

 

[Huggles]

sarah - last time i had sore nipples (not boobs, only nipples) just before my bfp. But then my boobs got really sore later on.

This time i had vaguely sensitive nipples before my bfp (again, not boobs at all, just nipples), but my boobs have not gotten sore at all yet and i'm almost half way already.
So i don't think sore boobs is necessarily a requirement.

 

[Dew]

Ladies thanks so much for your good wishes

Had HSG this morning. Radiologist was happy with the results. Everything looks normal Placing the speculum felt just like pap smear, inserting tube in cervix was hardly noticeable but when they started to fill the contrast in my tubes I got cramping pain and I just wanted it to be over (I rarely get cramping pain during AF but when I do it feels just like it felt today). NY, I kept reminding myself to breathe deeper and it really helped. Thanks for advising Well, radiologist said he had to apply slightly more pressure to get the contrast flow through tubes and he thought there might have been some mucous sticking to it which is now removed so HSG according to him should be therapeutic to me. He said I can have intercourse anytime but will be a good idea to wait a day or 2 in case I am spotting or have pain. I am still passing sticky orangish-pinkish fluid (dye/contrast) along with fresh blood spots. I don't feel any pain though. I took 2 doses of doxycycline (12 hours and 2 hours before procedure) and 3 200mg Ibuprofen 30-40mins before. If I cramp again I can just take more ibuprofen, although I would like to avoid it. I'll try Instead softcups too this time although I have read online that they are inconvenient and hence not recommended for women with retroverted uterus.

So glad it is over, couldn't sleep properly last night just worrying about it

Good luck to all for their upcoming scans I may or may not come online next 5 days. We may start driving in another 1-2 hours. It's a very hot day here. Take care you all and thanks again for wishing me well

Sarah, keeping FXed for you...soooooo want it to be a BFP for you this cycle.
