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

[MummyCat]

NY... kinda.... we told her the other day there's a baby in Mummy's tummy... but as she's only just 2... I'm not sure how much of it has sunk in. We're hoping that as it grows and she notices the belly getting bigger she'll start to understand more... but we're not making a big fuss of it yet!

It's a long time for her to wait for the baby to arrive

 

[sarahincanada]

thanks mummy! awwwww thats so cute, does lottie seem to mind not going anymore? thanks for the tips, I will just have to see what happens

Ny I was going to ask you about that trip, but I thought you had driven for some reason. hey what did your daughter say about being a big sister? I cant remember if you told her and us

 

[sarahincanada]

hey I just realized my post op appointment is in a week! so I will also ask her about the flying. then the next day I will hopefully get my smiley face.

starts tomorrow

 

[MummyCat]

well we'll see... she's on her last day tomorrow... I just need to keep her busy and do a lot of stuff at home with her... ie... painting and stuff (which I've kinda let her do at nursery up till now to save the mess!)

I'm sure you'll find something to do that you're comfortable with! xx

 

[MummyCat]

goodness my internet is slow... i keep missing posts...

Good luck for the and hope the appointment goes well! xx

Sarah- I havent even told my daughter yet.....

Im so shameful. But hey, she wont know if I told her early or late, so figure the longer I can wait, then the less time she's got to anticipate baby coming! It's already quite a long wait, and for a child its longer.

Nope, we flew to florida and that went fine. I was extra worried about traveling because all my bleeding and stuff so was scared to MC on our special family trip, but my doctor was like "there are doctors there too". He is very chill about everything and even with spotting and stuff he said go ahead! So, I am agreeing you should do a trip, but i may not have been able to go as far as being on a boat and in bahamas and stuff that early on. But it really is up to what you feel in your heart. I just think I would err on the safer side and stay on land

 

[babyhopes2323]

mummy.. hope lottie adjusts with not going to nursery anymore ! xx

Sarah all the very best for BD from tomorrow.. maybe get some nice lingerie and excite hubby to make it more about the lovin and less of just depositing. i tried every which way i swear.. we usually did it the normal way but then it was frustrating me so i remember once even going and splurging on a 300 dirham red corset.. lol it was hilarious trying to hook up the corest on my back flabs 5 mins before DH came home from work.. lol sorry if TMI but i tried to make it feel different because i was going nuts with all the acrobats and worrying about getting it right !

because the whole BDing thing is not just a one day thing.. it carrys on until you think youve done enough ! thats why i tried and made an effort this time ..

Ny.. hope ella is really excited when you tell her.. im sure she'll be jumping about for a long time asking.. is it there yet,, whens the baby going to arrive !

am i and you the only one with male doctors?

frankly this is the first time im going to a male ob gyn but ive got no issues.. i dont mind him at all. he is so nice... even DH was pleased with him.

im soooo looking forward to my england trip. just booked the rental car today as well.. its just that how am i going to cope without a doctor for two weeks lol haha

my next appointment would have been in 4 weeks time but i convinced marcus to see me before i travel so 4th of may 15 weeks will be my next scan !

unless i have a cheeky one before that haha

 

[babyhopes2323]

as of now.. its thursday night which is equivalent to friday night and ive got a nice headache so i guess we're just going to a nearby chinese and then staying home to watch a movie... what are you ladies having for dinner ?

 

[sherylb]

I have a male doctor.

It looks like today is my last day at work. It's going to be sad to clean out my desk but I will get to rest finally as much as I want. DH is hoping to hear back from the unemployment lady today.

 

[sarahincanada]

haha babyhopes, thats so funny about the corset!! I have one outfit that hubby loves, got it for his bday in december so I will have to get that out. he also likes stockings, I have them to go with the outfit but they are a pain to attach, so I think I will go buy some stay ups stockings perhaps some different patterns. our BDing is usually pretty good, it was only the last month as I was recovering that it was an insert and deposit session!! I hope we can keep up the every other night this cycle, as then I will know super sperm is up there.

hubby made some food before he left for work (what a great man) so for lunch Im having a wholegrain wrap with breaded chicken strips in, with side potato salad. he makes this sauce that tastes a little bit like the mcdonalds big mac sauce, i love it, but cant have much its full of mayo!

forgot to mention...i really liked limitless! what are movie you are watching tonight?

you are so cute persuading marcus to see you before you go, I cannot imagine you waiting till you get back! did you ask him about the doppler? try and wait to see him, you are not having any issues so no scans inbetween....I think you definitely have an addiction!!!

p.s i have a male gynecologist for my pap smears, love him so much, he's like a granddad but so gentle. so I wouldnt mind having a male for my pregnancy at all

 

[babyhopes2323]

sounds yummy.. your DH must be a good cook !

i dont like dressing up etc because its too much effort, but the strain i had to BD was too much so i thought heck ! why not !

ill try and not go for any scans in between. Fx'd !!

we usually go for movies on saturday nights, but this time it will be tomorrow night.. not sure, gotta see whats out in the movies, will let you know ! glad you liked limitless.. wish we all had that pill without the side effects !xxx

AFM, really queasy and sick after the chinese. didnt even fancy it that much..

phoning the UK tonight.. breaking the news to DH's mum..

 

[babyhopes2323]

My DH'S bday is in december too.. december 29.. th whens your DH's?

 

[flyingduster]

whew, you ladies TALK all night long! lol!!! FIVE pages to catch up on, and I made a point of checking last thing before I went to bed! lol!


The end of the first trimester thing varies for several reasons:
1: People automatically think that 12 weeks is 3 months which much be the first tri, so they're wrong, but it's a common thought that 12 weeks is the end of the first tri.
2: the ACTUAL end of the third trimester is at one third of 40 weeks, which is 13 weeks, 2 days and 8 hours.
4: most places (like this forum, and the weekly updates I get about my pregnancy and stuff) just round that 13.3 up to 14 weeks, as by 14 weeks you ARE definitely in the second tri by then (you've been in the second tri for a few days) though the second tri doesn't actually 'start' then, it's just easier for places that only go by 'x week' not 'x weeks & x days'.

Clear as mud?

In any case I'm FOURTEEN WEEKS TODAY! omg!!!!!




Sarah, I looked up the flying thing a while ago, and there is NO worries with flying in your first or second trimester, the ONLY thing people need to be aware of is the morning (all day!) sickness in the first tri is often made a lot worse by travelling. It's not of any risk to the baby at all, it's just that you're likely to feel like utter crap if you travel when already feeling bad! I know when I was queasy, even a short drive in the car had me twisting about and feeling reeeeally bad... But there is NO risk to the bub if travelling in first tri.

I know the feeling of trying to plan around a possible BFP though! I had problems with the fact I had my masters exam this year, in August. If I wasn't pregnant, or was early enough on, then I'd be sitting it; but I had to know if I was sitting it, or not, by feb! thankfully I got my BFP on 5th feb so could say no! lol.



Baby! YAY for the cute scan pic, AND DH went along! I'm so happy for you!!!! And you even got the pic up yourself!!! hehehehe. WELL DONE! I'm so sorry you've got nasty headaches on your 'friday' night though!! Oh, and my main doctor is a male, but the doctors here don't really do anything for pregnancy, it's all dealt with by an ob gyn (at a cost) or a midwife (for free). The only reason I'd use an ob gyn would be if I'd had complications. Otherwise I've only got my midwife, who is female!



NDH, oooo the house sounds exciting, I have my fingers crossed for you you have an utterly amazing easter and get a wonderful house and a BFP!




And everyone else; I hope you're going well!!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

My DH'S bday is in december too.. december 29.. th whens your DH's?

19th! mine is turning 30 this year. AT LAST!!! although I told him he might be too old for me now

he is a pretty good cook, just learning, but he likes it. me, I hate it, and even burn water.

I know Im pretty lazy and dont really dress up much, but I had seen this cute outfit (its a corset type thing too) and purchased it for hubbies bday. then I asked him what he wanted for his bday, and he laughed and said nothing, perhaps just you in some lingerie. I acted all annoyed and said I dont think so, not when I feel fat. But I had already purchased it. when I came into the room with it on hubbies face was priceless. I was trying not to crack up laughing, cant take it seriously!!

Im also feeling a little sick and have a terrible headache. its been quite warm here so I think the headache is from the change in temp. I dont feel good so going to lie down for a bit. jeez not much work done today.

awww let us know what MIL says....do you get on with your inlaws?

sorry flying, you are just in the wrong timeframe!!! but I like that when I wake up Preethi and Mummy etc have been chatting, and NY is usually on as we are in similar timeframe. Then later when preethi and mummy are in bed you usually come on!! Im entertained all day!

happy 14 weeks hey we should see how long we last on this thread, what if one day Im saying happy 14th birthday to your son or daughter awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww urgh but I will be in my 50's then, forget that thought

I do remember you explaining the trimester thing clearly before, but for some reason I thought you had said 12 weeks 3 days all of you will be in the 2nd tri soon, thats so amazing.

I get so sick easily, that the travel thing does worry me a bit. Its really because I cannot ever imagine a BFP that here I was just planning a trip just like I normally would, then though hang on better think about this! I think I will leave any booking as late as possible, theres always flights they just might be a bit more money.

(sorry I cant help but mix forum names with real names all the time, sorry! I think I will always call you by forum names as thats how I got to know you, but because preethi is written big on babyhopes ticker that has been drilled into my brain as well )

Sarah, the holiday itself will be fine whether you get pregnant the week before you leave or now - I'd still say go on the cruise but if you get seasick anyway, ya don't want to combine that with ms. BUT, why don't you book flights anyway while they're a good deal and plan for a holiday in the area. Then, as it comes closer to time you can decide if you want to do the cruise (if it's sill available at the right time - and if it is there are usually significant discounts available the month before departure). That's what I'd do - either way you'll still have a lovely minivacation.

 

[NDH]

This morning I woke up early (for me) feeling fine and cheerful, made breakfast and packed DHs lunch, then had a shower, made myself a cup of peppermint tea (only herbal I have ATM as I've cut out even decaf for now) and sat down to work. That lasted half an hour as I suddenly got super nauseous. So now I'm laying down for a bit hoping it passes soon, at least enough to finish what I was working on. And I hope it's the Egyptian flu rather than the ordinary flu lol.

Hey Preethi that's a lovely scan pic...congrats! And how awesome is that, DH could come along....great!

Sarah: I am with most others regarding your trip to USA. Go ahead and plan it already you can't pick a date to see your BFP but you can sure pick a date for your BFV with people who love you the most in this world....look forward to beautiful times and BFP will come along Many of my friends who are currently pregnant have made air as well as road travels during first and second trimester without any complications. Will your insurance cover medical care in the US?

We had plans of flying to Hawaii in first week of March, DH wanted us to celebrate our pregnancy there in warm weather away from Minnesota cold but things didn't turn out well and we had to cancel our plans and now we just don't feel like making that trip. So yeah plans change all the time depending on circumstances....why worry about them in anticipation.

As NY mentioned once you are in Florida you can drive to Florida Keys. It will be so o much fun. We MAY go there next month. DH wants to go to Alaska too. We'll see...

Enjoy your BD you are starting early I may get my smiley on CB digital tomorrow. We BDed today, might do tomorrow and day after. We never can stick to my initial plan

NDH: now all focus is on you...hope this new house comes with new luck and you get pregnant this cycle. FXed for you....

A big HELLO to everyone else take care!

Talk about pressure Dew! Lol. I'll do my best to not disappoint.

Wow sounds good as it could be a symptom
