trying to post this pic now.. xx

hows your spotting ? any luck with the testing?

 

[NDH]

No more spotting or pink CM (but I don't check, just happened to notice it hanging there the other day). Between 6 and 9dpo so won't be testing for a while yet. If AF is MIA I'll be testing on Easter Sunday.

 

[babyhopes2323]

i hope you guys can see it clearly...

 

[NDH]

[babyhopes2323]

flying: lets see a photo of you in your bell bands! that sounds great as I hate it when pants go low. I know when Im pregnant I will live in leggings and spandax LOL

NDH: oooh good luck with the house, it sounds perfect....perfect for you to spend your pregnancy in!! and if you dont happen to get the bfp this cycle then it will be perfect for BDing!!!
ticker says 5 days till testing yay!! so you are going to wait till easter sunday?
I wish I had shorter cycles, you get more in per year!

babyhopes: yay Im glad hubby made it to the scan and what a beautful profile pic!!!! its amazing. your ticker says 12 weeks 3 days pregnant....if so does that mean you are in 2nd tri tomorrow?????

You guys were talking about emotions: my hubby can always tell when Im PMSing as Im a lot more emotional, fiesty and bad tempered! so I will have to give him your disclaimer Flying, I like that!

I have a question for you all: my family is coming here in August and I want to take them on a trip while they were here and have been looking up a mini 3 day cruise Miami-Bahamas. We can drive down to Buffalo New York (about 2 hours) and fly from there as its quite a lot cheaper so the whole trip wont be too pricey. The only thing is, if I get pregnant this month I will be 4 months by then. I have no idea how Im going to feel when pregnant, but that should be ok right? the thing is I will need to book soonish to get good flight prices, and as I cant imagine getting my bfp straight away I feel ok doing it. what do you all think? obviously I can lie down and rest if I dont feel good, I really want to take my family away and who knows I might not even get pregnant by then so dont want to not book then not get pregnant! my sister flew over here to canada when she was 5 months pregnant so I thinking it will be ok.

oh I thought 2nd tri was 12 weeks 3 days, but is it 13 weeks 3 days? I think on here its 14 weeks. its so confusing, but you and NY must be entering it soon!!

Ive been living in yoga pants and workout pants! Can't wait for summer here, dresses are going to be high on the list because pants hug in the wrong places right now. I haven't worn a pair of jeans for like 2 weeks.

Sarah- I'd be more worried to be in the early first trimester stages and be planning a trip. 4 months would be great! But getting pregnant any time after this cycle you'd be first tri still. It isnt the flying that is the real worry, but being on a cruise if you are in the early days of pregnancy may not be a great idea. The early time is where you worry about something could go wrong and you being away, ya know? Not that its a great way to think, but you do need to be near hospitals and doctors in that early time !

Preethi-I am excited to be second tri, but more excited to start getting a real baby bump and feel it move on its own and stuff. Im so impatient for that seems like its never coming! All my MS has gone away for now....thats scary but my doppler tells me baby is still in there!

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, actually some people prefer to believe that after 12 weeks, you enter second tri which is what i had in mind, but on this forum it seems to be 14 weeks so ill just go with that ! im not fussed.. NY is entering it first !

you know about your holiday... i think you should go.. firstly..because..

you will be 5 months, best time to travel.. anytime after 3 months should be ok.. you wont be that sick as most people tend to be sick in their first tri months..

i personally have become worse now at my 12 week mark.. ive got serious headaches and have been feeling pukey this morning, but didnt throw up..

i myself am flying 7 hours to manchester on the 6th of may and i will be about 15 weeks and 4 days then.. 7 hours to manchester and then hubby is doing all the driving, but we will be driving up to scotland, back down to southampton , manchester etc.. i think it should be ok.. doc said as long as you walk around, do excercises on the flight, drink plenty of water.. plus youre going on a cruise.. you wil be so relaxed laying down all the time.. only thing is you might be a bit sea sick if you tend to usually be that way..

otherwise im sure you should be fine.. plus you can always ask some of the family members to take turns driving ? im sure they wouldnt say no plus it would you give you some rest.. how long is the flight? not that far eh? doc says anything over 4 hours is considered long during pregnancy.. but it should be ok seeing as your in canada?

it will be a wonderful holiday for you !!xx

 

[babyhopes2323]

its great that your MS is gone..im having severe headaches at the moment and am sitting here with the laptop open in front of me, its the weekend thursday evening.. and ive got a cold compress on my forehead and a hot cup of tea in my hand

 

[sarahincanada]

I didnt know you werent supposed to travel in the first tri so unless I get pregnant this next cycle, which would make me 4 months in august, then I shouldnt go. because if I dont get pregnant this cycle I will be either 1-3 months pregnant in august depending on when I get a bfp (not if, when!!).

the flight is only 3.5-4 hours, and my hubby can drive down to buffalo.

oh well, perhaps should look at some vacations in ontario here instead! I get sick easily already, so being on a cruise and feeling sick would be the worst. the thing is, I cant imagine getting my bfp so I just carry on my normal plans, then today I was like hmmmm I guess I better think this through!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

well its totally upto you.. hey i think if your travelling only 3.5 hours, even flying on your first tri should be ok.. plan it around your 12 week mark.. im sure flying if its only about 3.5 hours should be fine.. plus ur DH will be driving down to buffalo.. youve got it all figured out !

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- I totally know how tough it is to decide because if you DONT get your bfp, you may kick yourself for not doing the cruise. What I would suggest is to do a vacation still, but maybe keep it in the states? Like, florida or california beach vacation but just don't do the cruise. I think flying in first trimester in short durations like that is just fine. Only part i'd worry about in first trimester is being away from doctors and hospitals. But GOING on vacation in first trimester seems perfectly fine to me. Try Panama City, Pensicola Beach, or the Keys even? Or South Padre? Lots of fun to be had in florida. Miami is another fun one.

Preethi.... gorgeous little bubba honey!!! So thrilled for you!! Perfect in ever way... can even make out it's little nose!

Sarah... I'd say book it!! You can definitely travel in the first 12 weeks. There are no problems doing so, some people don't advise it, because most miscarriages (if they happen) happen in the first 12 weeks. I don't know if you remember back in Sept last year in the TTC thread, one of the Mums was an air hostess and she knew all the details re travelling - and that it was ok!

But in the 3 days that you are away, should you be pregnant and have any concerns, there will be doctors available.

That's just my thought on the matter... obviously you need to do what you think is best, but look what happened with us.... we booked a holiday to South Africa for the Feb of this year... it gave us a three month window to fall pregnant last year (Sept - Nov 2010) to be over our 12 week scan by the time we flew.... we fell pregnant in the Sept.... in the Nov at 10 weeks we miscarried... we then had a chemical in January and ended up flying to SA...NOT pregnant after all! It was the holiday I needed and this baby was conceived on that holiday.... so I'm pleased we didn't postpone plans until we knew things for sure... else we'd never have gone!

NDH... house sounds great hun! hoping that this is going to be a FABULOUS Easter for you!

hope you're all well... had a busy day or two... trying to sort out cars, mortgages, my husband and our finances! but getting closer to that scan date!

Lottie's last day at nursery tomorrow! I'm going to cry I know it... cos they'll be giving me all her work and showing me how well she's done! (I cried when they showed it to us at Christmas) and now the hormones will make me worse! I'm taking the teachers chocolates to make up for me sitting there in tears!

 

[sarahincanada]

thanks ladies....I think what I might do is just wait and see, perhaps plan a trip to florida like you mentioned NY and I can always book on the cruise if we dont end up pregnant...Im sure they dont get sold out that quickly. And if I do I can just book a nice hotel.

funnily enough if I dont get my bfp every month then at least on the flip side I can definitely go on vacation!! always need to find a positive slant otherwise you can go crazy. I also want the vacation as incentive to loose weight, the thought of my fat white arms on vacation gets me on the elliptical

so you both think the flying 4 hours would be ok in first tri? thanks for listening

Hi Cat- does choarlotte know you are pregnant yet?

 

[MummyCat]

ps...

At 20 weeks pregnant with Lottie... we flew on a Friday night to South Africa (11 hour flight) landed on the Sat to surprise Mike's mum on her 50th.... stayed two more days and flew home on the Monday night... another 11 hour flight back!

I rested lots... but felt fine! obviously, there were no complication with Lottie's pregnancy and I had my doc clear it before I went!

xx

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- Yep! I went to florida from MN 3.5 hours at around 8 weeks. Was perfectly fine on the plane, one of the ways I didn't stand up at all but still just fine!
