[nypage1981]

We dont wear heels in the winter very much here! Under another winter storm warning advisory today with a new 8 inches of thick, wet, snow. So its mainly boots here. But I dont really wear heels in the summer either.

 

[babyhopes2323]

nice,,, snow in march.. its so hot out here !!!

 

[nypage1981]

I know. Its crap. I was just in florida and was 80's and sunny and hot and then I come here and at least all our snow had melted but was rainy. NOW we just got hit with all the snow again. Im mad! Ready to go lay back down on the couch. Does it ever get cold there?

Sarah- how ya feeling today girly?

 

[Huggles]

I never wear heels anyway so it's always flats for me.

 

[flyingduster]

wow you ladies TALK! LOL!!! I was here less than 24 hours ago, and now I've got three pages to catch up on! lmao!

Baby, Ohh I hope the new doctor is right and the haematoma has really gone! Then you can trust your new doc and like him too!!! I love that your dates keep matching too now, so you know for sure where your'e at! Look, you're already over 8 weeks!!

I never wear heels either, my job involves standing around a lot and handling dogs; not a good idea to have heels! lol! Comfy sneakers is me!


2 weeks today until my first scan!!! I soooooooooo can't wait!! lol. We will get pics to share, I promise! And omg, 11 weeks tomorrow! I know I keep saying it, but I really can't believe how fast the time is going, though it still feels like 12 weeks is *ages* away, it's barely more than a week now... sheesh!

I'm feeling pretty good. Though the past few days I'm getting the odd wave of nausea that'll last for a few mins and then be gone again. Usually when I'm hungry though! lol. And I'm achey in my gut & groin, it's almost AF type aches, but not. Just enough to be uncomfortable, but not sore or horrible really. The peeing thing has been better! At last!!! lol. I'm still peeing fairly frequently, but not AS often as before. I still have to get up once in the night (around midnight) and then I'm up at 6am, but it's soooooo much better than the every-three-hours thing it was doing before!!! lol.

hi everyone!

lol last night I was high on a buzz and I had to send a message to my sister in england to say I was ok and so popped on here too. I was in bed on my laptop though!!

Im doing fine, no pain from the uterus apart from the odd crampy feeling but my throat is killing me from the tube from the anesthetic.

as for yesterday I got to the hospital at 12 and didnt go through to surgery till 3 so it was a long wait. they took me into the OR and it was freezing, I was shaking a bit from the cold and nerves! the anethesiologist took 4 attempts to the a good vein for the anethetic first twice in one hand, then he said he found a good one in the other hand. so they put the gas on me telling me to breath deeply and I will slowly go to sleep. nothing was happening and my hand was stinging, finally he said does your hand hurt at all? I said yes, so he took it out muttering something about where did the vein go!! so finally he put in my elbow. So all that wasnt nice as I was then sore on both hands. I dont remember anything else till recovery. the FS said it went well and I go next month for a post op.

so thats it! Im still resting today, and the sheets said no strenuous activity for 2 weeks so I guess I wont be on the ellipital for a while. Im going to start the Ov tests tonight, I dont think we will BD until I get a smiley face then do it a couple of times. Im a little worried about infection, like say my hubby had a small infection I didnt know about and then ejaculated in me that could cause problems. So Im hoping I ovulate a little later. And who knows from the stress of flying and the operation it could be delayed.

I dont have much attention span to read all the posts, seems theres a lot! I did check up on you NY to see how yesterdays appointment went and so glad you heard the HB! Im just wishing that everyone can get into 2nd tri asap! xxxxx

 

[babyhopes2323]

ny, it does get cold here in december but then again, you would need a light sweater and thats it. not much. it rains about once in two years but the rest of the time its pretty hot.

well i spoke too soon, got some funny coloured discharge light yellow and brown but the doc is not concerned about it at all. this happens and could take a while to go so hes asked me to be patient. !!

flying, i sometimes get the cramps and have horrible back aches. and im oh so tired all the time, i can sleep and sleep and sleep through the day.

sarah, so glad the op went well. its horrible about the vein though, i hate it when that kind of thing happens, it hurts and cant believe they got it on your elbow !!

anyway , its over and done with and you should really be resting !! you have plenty of time to catch up later.. xxx

got a 6:45 am start to the docs tomorrow so im off for the night.

sleep well ladies. xxx

 

[nypage1981]

Good luck baby! I hope for the second opinion of NO HEMATOMA!!! Then you can breathe. I hear you on the lazy- I feel so bad I still dont want to get up for laundry, cleaning, shopping, basic hygiene.....lol. Hope 2nd tri brings us some ooooomph.

Hows sheryl? You ok?

Sarah- glad all is well! Hope your O is pushed back a tad also. I would be afraid of the infrection too. I am actually afraid of any infection now that im preg and wont have any BD action. Poor OH! He must think I was just using him! Im sure its just another thing I need to overcome but maybe when I know for sure my baby is good and sticking? The doctor gave the ok right away for sex for you? At least you don't have to wait 2 weeks for that too.....

FLying I cannot believe you have to wait until 12 weeks for a scan! Lol. I would go nuts! Glad things are going fast for you. For me, time is at a stand still and I feel like it will never move on to 12 weeks. Well, 13 weeks technically is the 2nd tri so thats what im anxious for. I can't wait for my peeing to slow down. Its like alllllll the time. I am so insomnia feeling from all the times im up in a sleepy daze during the night to pee.

Hows everyone else today? Hi girls!

!

she said I could have sex as soon as the bleeding stops. Im having light, bright red bleeding right now that fills only about a 1/3 of a pad so that should stop soon. Last month I got my smiley face CD13 I think it was, and thats on Sunday I think.

I would also be nervous of BDing in the first trimester! although you cant call it BDing anymore can you, its already been accomplished lol I think hubby would understand as he would wants best for the baby too. Oh well, theres lots of other ways to please him so thats ok....are you being creative NY??!! Anyone else BDing in the first tri?

Im so bored lying here in bed! Im so used to doing a million things per day for my business but as least I can return emails etc from my laptop. Hubby got me some chocolate and trashy magazines to read (People, Us magazine etc!) so I will try and enjoy my rest. Its funny, when Im busy working from home I dream about going upstairs to lie down, now that Im forced to I cant wait to get up and do things

good luck tomorrow hunnybun. hope everything goes ok, so I think this is with the person who orginally did see the hematoma? Im getting confused with all your visits. are you going to buy a doppler thingy for home so you can listen to the hb? will look forward to hearing from you tomorrow xxx

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- im not being too creative at all I have no drive at the moment. When he gets home to relax at night I have to take my progesterone and that makes me kinda feel nauseous and tired. Hope it changes soon so we dont get drifted apart too much. What do you do from home for work? That will work out nice when you have a baby huh?

OH ordered a doppler last night. Lol. Silly guy. He was all gung ho about hearing it at the doc yesterday that he went searching all over the place for one to buy right away but no one had them so ordered one. He was a little bummed we couldn't hear it again!

 

[Jasiellover]

Meeeee!

I am a graphic designer. I used to work full time but went freelance about 8 years ago. have a bunch of steady clients so its good. hubby went down to 3 days a week at his job to help me as I couldnt keep up. hopefully things should work out really well when we have a baby and I plan to have hubby take a month off right after, and then go down to 2 days a week if we can afford it.

Im sure it will be a little hard when we have a baby as I cant just go off and work, but I do think its better than most people have and I can work when they are sleeping or only work when hubby is home or something.

I assume you will take off maternity leave, will you get a year off? then what will you do? Its so hard nowadays as most people need a double income to be able to live a normal life. like my old neighbours, the wife had to go back to work when her son was 1 and they were saying that after day care and taxes from her wage they only are ahead about $800 per month, but they needed that $800 so had to do it. To bad, for $800 she wasnt getting to see her 1 yr old much.

i would definitely like to buy a doppler when its time, are there a lot of choice and prices or about the same?

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah we only get 6 weeks off. But I don't work much and choose when I do. so I may go in some evenings here and there but we will see. Maybe something more stable will come up but I don't ever want to work full time at all. The only career I've ever wanted was being a mama. I don't drive an awesome car, or live in a super house, but we have a great life and have many adventures so we do ok.

There were not very many choices for us on dopplers at all. We found one for 100 bucks so was not bad at all. Although it could take up to 14 days to get it so that stinks. I'll have had another ultrasound by that time!

 

[NDH]

Nypage, that's the only career I've ever wanted too. Which makes it difficult to be 26 and still not a mom. I've only done cafe work which is something I enjoy but won't feel compelled at all to continue when we have a baby. Actually I've already given up the cafe work and become a medical transcriptionist so I can work at home when I have kids. I don't expect to be able to work MUCH with babies, especially when they're older as we're going to homeschool, but at least I'll be able to contribute something without having additional expenses taking away my contribution.

 

[nypage1981]

I did go to college and all that and work in radiology at a hospital so it is a good career but I am hired as a per diem employee which doesn't make me have certain hours or benefits or anything. I like it just fine, I work the shifts I want, and don't have to make sure i've got time off for anything, I just don't bid on shifts that I don't want. I never ever want to use daycare for my children and am excited that now that my daughter is in school each day full time, that im getting another baby to keep me busy for years!

How many children does everyone want?

 

[sarahincanada]

NY thats such a great set up!

I would like 2, but Im ok with 1 as well seeing as Im 38. I was always a career women and have never really had a huge urge for kids but always knew Id want them someday and time just went so quick. Plus my husband is 9 years younger so I always wanted to make sure he was ready so thats why its happening so late! he is 30 in December.

are you going to stop at 2 or try for another!

so many of you on this thread as so young and have so much time, even though I know a lot of you want your bfp asap. sometimes I wish Id tried sooner but my doctor says she has a lot of patients my age and so Im hopefully to be able to pop out a couple! although when I have 1 perhaps I will want 3 more!!

 

[NDH]

That sounds fantastic Ny. I just couldn't think of anything I wanted to do at university so just took what interested me at college with my scholarships and ended up only paying for textbooks for the two years. Nothing to show for it but that doesn't worry me. I just had so many friends invest a lot of money in university, get married and have children immediately after finishing and never do anything with their degree and waste a lot of money as a result... Though even if I'd known it wouldn't happen so soon for me I doubt I would have done anything any differently.

As for children... as many as we're blessed with. I always wanted at least 6 but we're open to whatever. Which is why I'm antsy. I always expected to have at least two by now (or second on the way).

 

[nypage1981]

I have NOOOO idea how many we want. Seems we are living completely day by day and just hoping for this one to join our small family! I do have a feeling though, that once I have one, the next would come very easily. Not sure why I think that, but many women have trouble getting preg but the next time is super soon after. So, i better decide after this baby if thats ok with me or not! I've never been a huge life planner so just kinda go with the flow. I'd probably be ok with 2 more babies though

NDH- I thought i'd have 4 by 30. Now im 30 with a 7 year old! Good thing im not a huge life planner, this would really have pissed me off.

Sarah- i'd say if you are willing to do it go for 2! Like i mentioned, after getting one, you willl probably have the 2nd very easily !

 

[sherylb]

I am good. Nothing to report. I have looked into dopplers and heard there are some good ones on Ebay for cheap if you know what to get. I don't yet but I have read some reviews.

I was talking to my neighbor about us not having health insurance and I may try to get on medicaid for pregos Friday. Have to see if we would meet the requirements but she says they cover everything. Her first appt when she found out she was prego w/o insurance was going to be $1200!! Yikes!
