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

[Dew]

Thanks so much ladies for the warm welcome and kind words!

I guess there are ladies from all around the world on this forum. I am from US and eagerly waiting for spring to arrive and cheer up my soul. It's tough to fight depression when its cold, snowy and gloomy outside. But this seems to be a happy thread and I don't want to talk about negative things. Wishing H&H pregnancy to all the pregnant ladies and good luck to the rest of us who are hoping to be pregnant soon.
I am approaching my AF due date of April 3rd....will test only if it doesn't show up.

Sarah, that pasta sounds yummy!! Hubby is out on tour so I won't be cooking tonight...will be hunting for leftovers in the fridge

We had grilled pork chop with cous cous and roasted vegetables.

Sarah, I've put a pic up of the bite mark on facebook! it's awful!! I certainly told the mother... in fact I yelled at her as it was the second child her little girl (about 2 and half years old) had bitten this afternoon! She said something vague about her daughter not having done it before as a form of apology! I told her that I doubted that and walked off to see the management, lodge a complaint, get first aid for Lottie and fill in an incident report!

NY, thankfully Lottie's not ever shown signs of biting, if anything, her nasty habit might turn into hitting... as she does that to her Daddy... sadly it started as play fighting and I did tell him to be careful as she wont know the difference!!

Thanks ladies re the video of Lottie... Huggles glad you can still make out the South African! and I used to be stressed about her climbing, but she's REALLY good and confident on slides!

Hope everyone else is good!!

Our favourite names right now are Caitlyn and Caleb, but I'm not 100% on Caleb yet... lol! We've both LOVED the name Caitlyn for years though so I don't see that one changing!

I'm off out of town to steward at a dog show this weekend (they pay my expenses and motel and everything) so not sure if I'll even get online after tomorrow morning; I'm gonna have HEAPS to read when I get back! lol! But then it'll only be a few days until my scan! YAAAY!

my niece is called caitlin so I like that name!!

have nice trip! dont worry we will make sure we have a whole days worth of pages to read when you return so it will make your scan date come sooner!! I cant wait for your scan date as then I'll only have about 4 days left of my 2ww!!

hi!! dont worry you are welcome to talk about anything, we are not always so happy and have been through a few heartaches and worries! but we try and keep a pma. so you are the first of the TTC'ers to get a period so FXd it doesnt come. They do say you are quite fertile after a MC so I really hope that you do get your bfp. And if you dont we will be here for you.
what do you mean hubby is out on tour? LOL Im picturing you married to a rock star but perhaps its not quite that exciting.
and where are you in the US? Im near Toronto so a bit closer than most of the girls on here

I did see it, crazy! I would be so pissed. and it was funny someone replied being defensive about biting children!
my 12 yr old neice was recently hit at school and I wanted to fly over to england and go and punch the girl. I will probably be arrested when Im a mother I even notice the same group tease her on facebook and I hate how things have changed for kids growing up (sorry thats a whole other topic).

 

[NDH]

Whew a lot has happened here in the past couple days - sorry I don't have time to comment on everything.

Dew, welcome. Hope AF stays away for you.

Huggles congrats on becoming permanent at work! And 4 days a week is awesome, let alone a pay raise to go with it!

Baby, I know Angel sounds says you can't use it before 12 weeks but I think they just say that to prevent women from freaking out if they can't find it. I know loads of women 9-12 weeks who use it and can hear the hb. Sometimes it's hard to find so as long as you don't worry if it takes a while to find it it can be used before 12 weeks.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

Oh and names - over the past couple years my taste in names has changed a lot. Used to want unique names, but now I like simple ones paired with a more interesting middle name. DH won't let me discuss names with him though until I'm pregnant.

 

[nypage1981]

Wow, are you all FB friends? Thats so funny!

Sorry Mummy for the icky biting child. Ugh. Good thing it didn't break skin. Thats rude. I am super duper defensive of Ella too so yea, now to have 2 of them to look after I can imagine how crazy nuts i'll be.

Dew- we definately are not always rainbows and butterflies here but we do listen to each other crab on if we need to! It's nice to have positive outlooks, but also nice to let it all out so feel free. I also am seeing sunshine as a bit of a pick me up. Im in Minnesota and we got, like, the worst winter in a while so that was frustrating! Hope AF doesn't show. This thread is pretty lucky!

I've decided to try to learn how to cook tonight because OH took Ella to cheerleading! Hahaha. Seriously- I have no idea how to cook. So im making chicken, rice, and corn burritos. I would have loved some peppers in them but don't have any and not in the mood for the grocery store madness for 2 peppers so i'll do without! It seems to be an easy enough thing for me to make. Don;t laugh- but I don't think i've ever even made chicken.....here we go!

 

[babyhopes2323]

flying, youve got your bfp, so thats great, acrobats or not !!! lol

OMG congrats on the 12 weeks so bloody excited for you, sorry for swearing but my DH is so traditional when it comes to things like this, his rants on about in his english culture, nothing is quite more ok then after the 12 weeks, you tell people after 12 weeks, do whatever you want after 12 weeks, if he had this own way, he would just not buy even a pram until after 9 months !!

he dosent want to dtd before 12 weeks, dosent want to do anything.. you know he wont even enter a baby store with me because hes so cautious .. never mind that, heres the biggie.. he dosent want and hasnt come to a single appointment of mine and is waiting for the 12 week scan to come.. god it pisses me off summit rotten at times when he talk like that, but im more than happy to go alone at most appointments because then i ask my ob gyn whatever i want even though i sound crazy.. maybe im ok with him coming to the 12 week scan and i was ok about waiting because then the baby looks more formed and everything to put it in a nice way..?

im 10 weeks today yay !! 9+4 on monday so 10 today.. only two more weeks to get to that 12 week precious mark when i can start rubbin things in his face.. lol .. sorry but he just tends to be so careful and cautious, its sweet in a way, but sometimes its like ive been cherishing and worrying and doing everything up until now.. he generally is not one to show emotions at all, so you cant get much out of him., but he does care. bless him, he makes me fruit and veg juices everyday.. xx

im so excited about your 12 weeks anyway and have a great time with the trip !! enjoy. xx

nypage, were not all friends on facebook, infact i used to have one and i closed my account.. lol

nypage, i think you guys may have missed this bit out on my previous posts, but could you please suggest a good website where i could get a doppler shipped to dubai?
i really want one.. and it would save me all the hassle and worries i have on a day to day basis..

today is the last working day here so going to relax.. love to all..xx fx'd for your bfp dew..

:babydust: sarah and NDH.. my lovelies.. and flying sorry but i have to disagree.. i have a love hate relationship with australia b ut i gotta say i do love the accent and try speaking with one to my dh, he gets so irritated.. he hates the accent..lol

 

[flyingduster]

hahaha, I think I hate the aussie accent because so many people confuse an NZ accent as being australian, and NZ likes to be it's own proud tiny lil country, not Australias little sibling; so any comparison to being similar to Aussies gets people irked easily! haha. It's funny though, with the recent flooding in Oz, and earthquake over here, we still are the first to be right in behind the other to help them in their time of need... I think perhaps it's exactly like siblings! LOL


Anyone who hasn't got me on facebook, by all means add me; facebook.com/flyingduster though I haven't been catching up on there so much as I used to! lol


ny; how did the chicken go!? I'm useless at cooking too, and to be honest, I don't think I've ever cooked a chicken alone either! I've cooked it with hubby, but I just ask him what to do if I don't know... haha.


haha baby, I know aey! 12 weeks seems such a milestone, that when I got my BFP at 4 weeks it seemed soooooooooooooooooooooooooo far away.... and now it's only a matter of hours away! Even though the first trimester doesn't actually end until a few days past 13 weeks. lol!

In one week from now I'll have had my first scan! I'm soooooooo excited about it! I've had NOTHING to really go on since my BFP. I had one doctors appointment, one midwife appointment and one blood test all at around 6 weeks, but nothing since! So I'm super excited about getting to see my little one... And slightly freaked out that I might find it died already too... but there's nothing I can do about I guess so I'm keeping a PMA (baby, did anyone let you know? PMA is Positive Mental Attitude. ) and staying excited about it all. I'm hoping we can get a dvd and pictures of it, but I really am not sure what we can get so I guess we'll find out in a week!!!!


Dew, FX the witch stays away from you and you get a lovely BFP!!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

ok so i just purchased a fetal doppler from ebay for USD 58.95

i sure hope i receive it and its not some bogus seller !!

 

[babyhopes2323]

oh thanks for the description on PMA. lol

yes i know how exciting it can be to go for a scan.. finally.. me out of everyone who goes on a regular basis.. it will be exciting and please dont say that you think it has died,.. thats awful.. usually at MMC, you have cramping etc.. please lets not even think negative or even talk like that, because its upsetting and you should be happy.. youre having your scan and youll be 12+6 so everything WILL BE OKAY !!!!!

lets just stay smiling and hope for the best. xxxxxxxx

 

[flyingduster]

haha baby! I don't really think that it's died, as I've had no symptoms of it at all, it's just all the emotions are haywire so it does occur to me that I'll find out, either way, at the scan next week! I'm far too excited to *really* worry about it though, so it's ok.

 

[babyhopes2323]

ok one more thing.. i was wrong.. no cramping occurs but i found this

In a missed miscarriage, either the embryo doesn't develop or it doesn’t get very far, and the heartbeat stops when it measures only a few millimeters. Very occasionally, it happens later, perhaps at eight or 10 weeks, or even further on.

so please just stay positive. xxx praying for all of us.. get a doppler if youre concerned !!xx

 

[Dew]

Sarah, what I meant was that hubby is traveling for work...his job requires frequent flying....he is gonna be back today....well, not such a happy day for me as I caved and tested on Dollar store test....as negative as white strip my boobs were really tender and sore in last pregnancy, they aren't this time even at 11dpo today so I shouldn't fool my mind in believing that a miracle might happen and I get my BFP...if I was so lucky I wouldn't have lost my pregnancy. I really feel cheated, another girl I know got the same EDD as me and another friend probably conceived right when I was miscarrying. Do whatever but I just can't feel happy for these girls and I also feel guilty for that so keep doing nice things for them-one of them is a close friend. Call it irony of life, I have no option but to participate with other common friends to plan her baby shower...believe me it hurts to the core.

Babyhopes: I had missed miscarriage, no heartbeat detected at 11 weeks (last seen at 7.4 wks), baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks. I wouldn't want that happening to my worst enemy (well, I don't have one, but just to emphasize), no woman should have to go through this trauma in life. So let's keep positive thoughts only for ladies who are pregnant.

Sarah, where are you in your cycle? And others too? Good luck everyone!

Mommy, Sorry that your little girl got hurt by another little one. Hope they both recover soon-yours from injury and the other from bad behavior.

Nypage: I would have thought that you are from NY.....what a coincidence I am from Minnesota too, tell me about this winter!!! I understand you putting a beach picture on your profile...isn't this what we crave for here?

Take care ladies and thanks for being here to read my rant!

 

[nypage1981]

Baby- Sorry, I just read your question about the doppler, then see you bought one! I had ordered mine on amazon the brand is Hi Bebe- but I dont love it. What kind did you get? Ours was 100 USD and Im wanting a different one! What do you do for work? You mentioned its your last day of work this week.

Dew- yea, we went to florida a week or so ago and it was soooo nice!

I had a MMC too ladies but mine did have some spotting for a few weeks but still had babies in there but at the 9 week scan they had stopped growing at 6.5 days. Thats why I need the doppler so much and use it so frequently because I know that even seeing the HB a few times doesnt guarantee you anything! ALthough, this morning bean isnt working with me and think i'll have to try again soon cuz it freaks me out!

\Flying- chicken went ok, but OH got home at the end of it to finish it Hehe. Im like, "aaah, is it done, what do i do???" and he took it out and cut it. Im hopeless im sure but it works for him to be the chef around here! Happy 12 weeks! I so cannot wait!

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

hows it going. just off to take my car in for a service so nothing too exciting. had a massage yesterday for my lower back. I should go back and see the chiro but he uses this vibrating machine on my back and I worry if something was trying to implant inside it would damage it! although he says its fine I think I will wait for period just incase. but my lower back is so sore and stiff

Im happy though, I weighed 200.8 on the scale this morning! thats almost back into the 190's!! last week I was 205 so have done well. Ive cut out treats like chocolate, chips/crisps, coca cola but Ive still been eating yummy pastas like hubby made - just tried to not eat too much. I also cut down on my milky teas with 2 sugars. I really want to try to aim for my 10pounds per cycle weight loss, that way if I dont get a bfp I can still feel good that I have another month to lose weight. I was reading in my book what to expect before a baby last night and they were saying that when you are overweight you have estrogen coming from the fat and that can interfere with your cycle. Obviously lots of overweight people get pregnant, but I am using this as my reason to finally lose the weight and then I will have one less obstacle against me. 10 pounds per cycle may be a little too much but its a goal and Id be happy with 5 per month too.

Also in the book, you know how they say a healthy couple in their 20's has a 25% chance per month....it said when you are 35-39 its 15%! those odds are not good! so it means every month Im far more likely to not be pregnant which my cynical mind obviously holds onto. Well I guess as time goes on it has to happen one month. I will seriously fall over as I just cant imagine it happening, especially when I read those stats.

ny- mummy and I added eachother on FB back in my old thread when she had her MC. I dont have anyone else added. And I hear you on the cooking thing, Im soooo not domestic at all and have slowly been forcing my hubby to be my house husband. As my business does well he only has to work 3 days a week so gets 4 days at home and has become slave sorry I mean cook!!! Im hoping next year to cut him down to 2 days at work. Then Im very lucky that often I can often condense my work into a couple of days a week too so its perfect for when we start a family. I have worked very hard to get where I am, but feel very blessed.

flying I think you have been the calmest on here, you have a great PMA and I could tell that you were just saying what could happen but are not thinking it! We are going to have a party on here the day you step into 2nd tri----remind me again of the exact date of that as I wasnt sure if your scan date was that day or a bit later as you mentioned 13 weeks.

baby yay for the doppler! I bet you will be listening to the HB every hour!! and happy 10 weeks! thats so cute about your hubby and Im sure a lot of men think the same. I think my husband will be the opposite, full of annoying pma and thinking nothing will happen (just like he thinks Im pregnant now). so they are annoying either way

have a great day ladies. one more day nearer you all getting into first tri and one more day into the 2ww for me!

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- mine is the full of PMA type and im the full of PMS type! Haha. They are annoying. He's always like "when are we going to tell our family?" blah blah and im like few more weeks, few more weeks. IDK when im going to ever tell them! I'll be like in labor and finally tell them. Haha. My OH is the cook of the house but also the worker so I feel like I want to try to be the cook but i seriously just do not have it!
Have fun at the car place! Not!

Take care ladies and thanks for being here to read my rant!

awww I feel so upset for people who go through a MC, theres been a few girls on here who can certainly relate. My best friend had one too, but now she has a beautiful baby girl so it will happen for you soon Im sure (not that it helps to say that). I think its normal to not be too enthused about other people when you have just had a MC. Most people I know already have children (seeing as I left it so late) so I wont be going through any of that should it happen to me. When I finally get my bfp I will be worried all through the 1st tri as Ive read so many things on here to make me nervous. Sorry for the bfn but of course you are not out yet (although when its me Im the same and think Im out). Quite a few ladies on this thread had wonky cycles and got surprise bfps! and I dont think the symptoms are always the same. Ive often had sore boobs ovulation to period and not been pregnant. FX'd.

I think Im 4 dpo, it should say below.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Hey NY, i dont think i ever mentioned work, i dont work.. im a bummer at home. i meant today was last working day for dh so basically its like the weekend in dubai.

were just going out for a moroccan today.. i ordered a sonoline b doppler and have heard great reviews on it. cant wait for it to arrive as ive been reading so much on BNB itself about MMC's and im not going around looking for it.. its just that most pregnant women always end up in that first tri section mentioning MMC's instead of passing around positive vibes and every time i read it, it upsets me and makes me feel unsure so with this doppler, i should feel better i suppose !!

oh one more thing.. i had diarrhea today sorry tmi, but it was one episode and now im eating bananas like theres no tomorrow and drinking water because apparently diarrhea in pregnancy can cause pre term labour and dehydration !!

sarah, haha lucky you about your DH keeping so much PMA. !!

This is great as it helps get through day by day smiling and knowing that you have that emotional happiness inside..

sarah, i wouldnt even comment on what you said about 35 and older couples having a less chance because do you know poppy666? shes 41 and pregnant ... plus she got pregnant in dec but unfortunately lost it, but still shes pregnant so soon again so theres always a chance !! dont give up or feel dejected although it can be difficult at times and i understand how you must feel.. xxx

praying for all of you.. xxxxx

 

[babyhopes2323]

sorry about your mmc dew, praying you get your bfp soon, dont worry this thread is quite lucky... xx

lets just not talk about MC's for a while !!! and stay positive although i kn ow it can be difficult but theres no other way to go forward than the positive way !
