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

[Dew]

Good luck Huggles!

Please keep calling me Dew if you don't mind, thanks and hugs!

Sheryl: our bathroom is also attached to the bedroom but I have a minor case of OCD where I like to do things close to perfection so if my alarm is set for 7am and I wake up wanting to pee at 6am, I would wait for an hour or at least 35-40mins to take my temp and then rush to BR.

Sarah: about your friend-that's terrible news and worse is that you had no clue. It's just terrible that she wasted 14 youth years of her life with the wrong person. Hope she finds peace and love soon.

Flying: watch a comedy movie and laugh a little

Preethi: ask DH to massage your head gently, that should help

NY: how are you feeling now? Bug's gone..?

Have a great day (evening) ladies!

 

[Dew]

Oh and welcome Kylie! Sorry I missed your post. Good luck for your BFP!

 

[Dew]

Preethi: your scan is beautiful...we can see a cute baby in there....looks like baby is smiling to you

 

[Huggles]

I have a baby!!!
(well actually i have a blob with a heartbeat, but that's good enough for me!)

Everything's looking great. Good yolk sac, good corpus luteum, and the baby sac is in a good place in the uterus. So everything looks great so far.

Next appointment is 4 May when we can date it properly. At the moment it's measuring a week younger than my dates - but that's exactly the same as last time and Jarrod caught up by 12 weeks so he said it's totally normal. We'll also make all the plans for the stitch at the next appiontment, but it looks like I'll have the stitch around 23 May and then a week off work to recover (not 2 weeks like i thought).

But he seems very positive so i'm really happy.

Oh, and he does work out EDD according to LMP, not according to ov, so my EDD is 24 november like i thought. BUT, he said he'll remove the stitch towards the very end of 37 weeks, so almost 38 weeks. I will be 38 weeks on 10 November, which means i might very well land up with an 11.11.11 baby!

(not sure when i'll get a chance to upload the scan pic, but will do so when I can. It's just a tiny blob though, but it had a very definite heart beat!)

Dew -- just go to the bathroom and go back to sleep then. It's not going to make that big of a difference for you to be up for a minute.

 

[MummyCat]

Congrats Huggles!! excited to see the scan when you get a chance!!

Sarah... that's awful news! Heartbreaking to have to start all over, but saying that a friend of mine who was recently 50 met the love of her life after a failed marriage 9to a nasty man) and is engaged and happy... though both her and her fiance had children in their previous marriages, so the having children thing isn't an issue.. I can only imagine how tough that must be on her!

Nikki.. thanks hun, I'm okay sweets... just had freak out session on early hours sat mornign as couldn't breathe and hubby was completely unsupportive through all of it... so emotionally drained having to fight for some TLC... he's been better lately, so perhaps he realised there is more to his life than his sleep!

MW couldn't draw any blood.... my veins don't like letting go! So have to get it taken at the hospital when I go for my scan. The phlebotomists there are better trained to find veins that hide!

 

[Dew]

Congratulations Huggles! It must feel awesome! So happy for you!

I may be missing something here...can I ask what's that 'stitch' you are talking about? Thanks!

I wish I knew that when I was temping, it was just the beginning of TTC and I was wary of everything related...

I may temp this month for a change starting from tomorrow and see how I do now

yay! I just popped on to see if you had updated....Im so happy for you! And thats great that they have a plan for this pregnancy. Im so happy for you

huggles will explain it more, but incase she doesnt come back online today her beautiful boy Jarrod passed away after birth at 24 weeks due to an incompetent cervix I think it was called, so the stitch is to ensure it doesnt happen again.

dew I know what you mean, I dont enjoy temping, its such a drag each morning and thats why I stopped. but I want to try for one month just to see what my chart looks like. Im not being that strict, if its not the same time everyday then oh well but I will try my hardest. you could do it too and not be so strict, if you need to wake at 6am for a pee just do it, Im sure it wont make a huge difference. I am just hoping it will show me if I ovulated, and also at the end if I see high temps it might hint that Im pregnant (I dont like to test so thought the temps might show me something)

 

[nypage1981]

Yay huggles! Good job bean!

Dew I believe she is referring to cervical stitch for incompetent cervix. Stitch it shut so it can't open too early.

Cat- dh will learn soon with a baby and toddler that his sleep is not important! Heehee.

hi! how are you feeling now, hope the meds have worked!
I know, I feel so bad for her. this is her 2nd marriage too, but the first one she was really young (high school sweathearts) and they were not right for eachother. I hope she finds someone who will pamper her and treat her like she deserves. she is so lovely and outgoing I think she will be fine. Im just so mad and how it ended and that he cheated, and with a 24 yr old! he is in his early 40's. its so horrible.

 

[Dew]

Thanks Sarah and NY for explaining the 'stitch' part to me...never heard it before so couldn't understand. I feel my heart sinking just thinking about Jarrod Huggles I wish you the best of luck and care in this pregnancy.

 

[nypage1981]

Dew- every time I see you on here, I want a mountain dew so badly. I've been craving one but will NOT drink one! Lol.

Oh I am more like 'Morning Dew'

Yes, don't drink Mountain Dew, I love it but it has the highest caffeine content of all, have Ginger Ale or Sprite instead with no caffeine...sorry my forum ID gives you insatiable carvings

 

[nypage1981]

Yup! Ive got the ginger ale. I knew and suppsed you were referring to the morning dew kind, just is funny how i've wanted nasty mountain dew for weeks. Yuck! Even not preg I wouldnt drink it but has sounded good now. Ive gone off of caffeine totally though....cept for once every few weeks I have one that they dont make in decaf so I splurge.

 

[MummyCat]

Cat- dh will learn soon with a baby and toddler that his sleep is not important! Heehee.

Hahaha... you're not wrong... he's going to get his butt kicked if he doesn't help! Trust me... I will make his life miserable until he gives in and makes an attmept! I'm sure it wont come to that... he's been very hands on with Lottie... but he must just try his luck!

hi! how are you feeling now, hope the meds have worked!

feeling LOADS better!! Thanks hun!

Urgh... you're poor friend! as much as Mike and I have our moments (which you do in relationships) we are very much happy together so I can't imagine the pain and heartache of him cheating! I hope she finds someone who treats her like she deserves!

xxxx

 

[babyhopes2323]

ugh.. i still drink pepsi with all the fast food i eat, i know how bad it is with the caffeine and all, but ive gone cold turkey on tea and coffee so maybe its ok once in a while?

i had to have a tea today. massive headache, slept for over an hour, woke up, no appetite, at 8pm, dehydrated, drank water, had cold compress packs on my forehead and a cup of tea, then drank some more water and its still not going !

tried inhaling the smell of this eucalyptus type oil thing and applying it on my forehead, to no avail !

im so sick of being sick i tell you ! i do consider myself lucky that i havent thrown up once and only had mild MS once in a while, but apart from that its been the headaches i cannot bear... plus my tail bone seems to have frozen! its so painful, i cant bend or stretch.. im walking like a robot !

im done with feeling so ill, wish i could cough up that baby soon.. got 6 more months to go ! ugh... i do feel blessed im not complaining.. well maybe just a little, but today has been a nightmare with the headaches.. my tolerance with pain is actually real good but ive weakened so much !!

sorry about your friend sarah
its awful that he cheated on her .... its quite horrible how men seem to do that to their wives,, and then yes its worse that he did so with a 24 yr old, but hey..ahem.. it just makes me feel like woops.. you know my situation.. weve got a huge age gap too.. in my case.. im the early 20's girl hes gone and married and is having a baby with.. so i dont feel like i come in that category.. i know for a fact that sometimes women in social gatherings such as work etc.. in my experience like at DH's work do's , those women that stay in the UK or even live here with their husbands, dont seem to well , make an effort to speak to me much , they are in their late 30's or whatever and they probably feel that what if their husbands went off with a younger girl .. especially the ones that travel.. but thats not fair on me, because i go over the top to try and be nice to these women and its not like my DH was married or left someone for me, he just married me and now we are having a baby together so i hate women who think i fall into the other category just because of age difference. its horrible because it goes to show how narrow minded some women can be and they maybe insecure, but i didnt do anything to create that feeling ! they just feel that way when they see me with an older guy.

thats how society works..and thinks.. and with or without meaning to say it, you did mention "he went off with a 24yr old..hes in his early 40's how horrible".. well what he did was wrong !! totally wrong..im not trying to say you said it keeping me in mind at all !! ofcourse you didnt.. just saying what i think.. that regardless of how open minded you or anybody may be with the whole age thing, given your situation as well, you still felt that it was wrong that he was in his 40's and the girl he cheated with was in her 20's.. thats just how society is .. and i dont blame you for thinking that way.xx

its what they call kitten in hollywood..hahahahaha i fall in that category.. and you fall in the cougar category.. .. somehow that cougar category seems real nice !!

then again if anybody has anything to say about this, i have a list of over 25 celebrity couples with a hugeeeeeeeeeee age difference.. so we're not out of the norm.. !! these are people we admire on a daily basis so who are others to criticize?

huggles, yay for your scan, will be looking forward to seeing the pics..

well ive still got the massive headache so im off to bed..hope everyone else is doing great !!

FX'd for all your BFP's

 

[sarahincanada]

preethi you are so cute! I hadnt even thought about you and the age difference, and you know I dont think age differences mean anything at all. Im VERY opinionated on that because me being 9 years older than hubby!

I wasnt very clear with what I said and sorry for that....I wasnt meaning omg her hubby is early 40's and the girl is 24 what an age difference between them....that I dont care about and that seems normal to me.

Earlier I had mentioned my friend is turning 50, so when I said 'with a 24 yr old' it was more to say how awful its with someone so much younger than my friend...half her age! Even though my friend seems young for her age she is 50, so has wrinkles, less tight skin etc than a 24 yr old would have. I added his age as he is younger than my friend, just a FYI. He is quite young looking so I can see how a 24 yr old would be interested in him. When I reread it I can see how it sounded though, so hope this is clearer!

I think its quite normal for a 40 something to go out with a 20 something if they have lots in common! like I say all the time, 10, 15 years goes by and you still feel exactly the same person, you just have more life experience. I wish sometimes we could cancel ages. I am turning 40 next year and dreading it, as people think of you differently. I still feel the exact same as I did 10 years ago grrrrrrrrrr.

thats awful about the reaction from people, are you sure they think that way or could you be imagining it? I would never in a million years think that way of someone, thats so weird. Jealousy is a weird thing though, so its probably that...I saw your photo!!
