[babyhopes2323]

Hello Ladies,

Dew my parents do not live in india. they live in sharjah which is a city away from dubai, im always mentioning that i go over to my mums and i cant possibly be going to india every time i say that ! lol, shes just gone on holiday thats all and will be back on saturday,


Thanks for the cute bump pics ladies,,
Sarah i totally sympathize with you,, i know exactly how you feel, the problem is that we expect so much from men that we get disappointed many times too,

i remember bawling my eyes out at dh many times about this baby thing and telling him how i feel this baby will change everything etc, i think he listened to me because he bd'd everytime i said we should be and we tried being spontaneous and it worked ..

so hope everything works out for you, i know you are stressing about your age but let me tell you ive read of so many women on this website that are 40 + and pregnant.. but i can understand how you feel,. maybe have a heart to heart with dh?

hope everything goes well..


AFM, MANY MANY changes.. first off was my dads birthday dinner friday,. my brother was so ill and i caught a bad bug and throat infection off him and the next day we were moving house,. i was in such a bad condition and things did not go according to plan, the house was not cleaned by the contractor as promised, i started getting headaches and stuffy nose and a very bad throat and that night, when the move was finally done, i couldnt sleep even though i was so tired.. i had to wake up about 7 times for hot water all night,... went to a doctor the same night, but he was normal GP and gave me pills i shouldnt take during pregnancy,.. thank god i did not touch them and read the leaflet !

the next day was my marcus appointment, but he went AWOL from the hospital. his phone was switched off and no one knew where he was, even the staff !!

so they rescheduled me for today but i had a funny feeling that he wont be consistent in that hospital as hes shifted many places.. i was so ill dh took me to another clinic and i met this egyptian lady doc who seemed so through and nice and took me through everything, and gave me vitamins and normal strepsils and nasal sprays for my bug and scanned me for her records..

she has some advanced ultrasound qualification as well.. i just mentioned the NT, and i was 13 + 6 yesterday, she checked the NT and it was measuring 1.8 mm !! perfect.. plus she counted 5 fingers on bubs and checked for other irregularities and everything seemed perfect ! she said i did have a low lying placenta but over 80 % chances for it to move and me to have a normal delivery.

she banned me from flying and when persisted, i think she allowed me to postpone it until 20 weeks., because of this placenta issue.

i asked if she could see a nub and she said it looks very early but from what she can see and trusting she has some ultrasound qualifications as mentioned, she said it looks like the genitilia of a girl !!!!!!!!

i yelled WHAT ???

i was totally expecting a boy and said isnt it too early>? she said yes and i can confirm the sex on week 17, but to me it looks like you have high chances of a girl.. although its not what i expected at all.. im trying to sink it in and told DH, he is happy as long as the baby is healthy and i am too, its just that i expected a boy but we will know at 17 weeks for sure. !

happy easter to all of you,, i still dont have tv or internet connection at my new place and managed to use the laptop from my aunts place at the moment,.

i will post a bump pic when i get my connection !

i am 14 weeks today !!!!! YAY FOR SECOND TRI FOR ME !!!

i may stick with this lady doc as she seems very nice too and its closer to my home. she will come to the main medcare hospital for delivery but does her consultations at the clinic.. will post my bump pic and 13 + 6 scan pics when i get a connection !

but im so ill at the moment,, lol !! write more when i can.. and love to all xxx

 

[babyhopes2323]

dew those eggs look awesome !! ive never coloured eggs before and if you have hand painted them then wow !!

 

[Huggles]

babyhopes that all sounds really positive which is great
hope you feel better soon

 

[Dew]

Preethi: seems like I have not been paying enough attention thanks for clarifying again

I am sorry you caught the bug and feeling sick again...hoping you'll feel better soon and hey my prediction of baby boy for you was based on HB...as it was around 130 (<150)...girls are so cute and you'll fall in love with yours as soon as you see her...

So goodbye to Marcus and hello to Egyptian doctor she does seem more qualified and lives closer

Take rest and feel better

 

[Dew]

Thanks Mummy but I don't think it's happening this cycle...just not feeling it....no unusual symptom to get me excited ...feeling disappointed already

 

[NDH]

Told DHs parents today. Don't know how FIL reacted exactly as DH told him himself, but I know he's pleased. I told MIL and she screamed with excitement lol. She said they're going to save for flights to come down around Christmas. Don't know if they'll come for January or come in December and stay for the birth, but I hope they follow through. They never came to see us when we only lived a 16 hour drive away, let alone a 16 hour flight. But then again, we didn't have grandchildren to lure them away. Also told DHs Nana who was never able to have children of her own and adopted her three. She was absolutely delighted to find out she'll be a great grandmother again.

Preethi, good luck with the new doctor. How strange about Marcus!

Sarah, I hope your DH takes more responsibility and ownership of TTC. I think thats a man thing as I know of very few who were actually quite involved in the TTC process (besides BDing of course lol. And even in that area I had to fight with mine ) but hopefully you have more success.

Dew, gorgeous eggs! Love them! I haven't dyed eggs in ages as there have been no little cousins around. Silly excuse I know.

Flying, cute belly bands and bump!

Sorry to anyone I've left out - not intentional just worn out after spending the whole day in the car on a 4WD trip.

 

[sherylb]

Sounds like everyone had a good weekend overall.

My DH thinks he is getting sick so I am staying a little away from him. Yuck!

Easter was good with both families. I wish I would have thought about sharing my egg with DH and then we could have split his later on. I would have probably had a much easier night last night. Toast for dinner helped a lot though.

 

[nypage1981]

Dew- love love love the eggs. So much prettier than doing them with a 7 year old But my daughter's were cute also. How did you do those? Was it a kit? They look so nice. I didn't feel in it for the month I got a bfp either so our "feelings" aren't always right However, we shall see, because I do have a feeling im having a boy. And also, my HB has come down from 160's and settled at low 140's so that points to a boy with the old wive's tale. We will see.

Preethi- I have the sickness too. I've had it for like 2 weeks and it will be gertting better, then im sick again. No fun. Well Marcus seems a bit shady to me now....never heard of such a thing. He must have been in trouble. Unless he died or something. Weird. yay for a baby girl!

Mummy- I know all about the sugar addicts that little kids can be! I had to monitor Ella's intake, she has sugar high break downs that are no fun. But was such a sweet day with her Glad you had a lovely day also.

SArah- hope you are doing well.

NDH- glad you are happy with telling everyone! I loved the reaction from people...although I just did a lot of my family yesterday!

Oh ladies- I finally told my daughter yesterday on Easter! She was not that thrilled about a baby and said she hopes it is a boy so that she is still the prettiest girl in the family. LoL. oh my, what have I created? I know she will warm up to it but she has it in her head that babies just cry and babble and are annoying so we will see! She also thought it was gross to hear the babie's heart beat that OH recorded so that was kind of a bummer. But, im not going to force feelings from her, let her feel how she wants to.

Preethi- congrats on 14 weeks too!

Flying- those bands look comfy, do they ever squeeze too much or are they pretty forgiving? I hate right now if pants are squeezing my fat too much, it feels uncomfortable. I can't wait to wear sundresses every day, I hate clothes right now.

Sheryl- child birth didn't take away my modesty! I will always have it im sure. I just don't like the way my body looks right now at all. Yuck.

 

[sarahincanada]

:wave::wave::wave: hi everyone!
hope you are all doing well, I just got back from my chiro and massage apt. its raining here and Im feeling sleepy.
weekend was good, and wow hubby and I had great make-up sex last night!!! and it was after midnight huggles!! no smiley face yet though

dew - wow amazing eggs!! they look like designer eggs!
and thank you for the info, I think I get it. Ive always tested at about 9pm at night, and theres been a few months I have not gotten a smiley...I thought I had tested too late in the cycle but I wonder if it was just wrong time of day. I had always read that LH surge detection was better at night!

I still havent gotten my smiley face and Ive tested every night since CD10 and am now CD16, as well as mornings of CD13 and 14. So not sure if its coming or I missed it. my temps are pretty low and i think they are supposed to go up after ovulation, Im just not sure how much they are supposed to go up as I have nothing to compare it too. I will post my chart below if anyone is interested. I will do my ov test tonight then you think tomorrow I should start daily at 11am instead then? The last couple of months I got my smiley CD13 so was really expecting it by now, but I have had 2 months it came at CD17.

how are you feeling? what day is AF due? Ive continued to read and noticed you are not feeling pregnant and not many symptoms: in my mind thats good as I find most people dont get many symptoms when they get a bfp. but I know you are comparing to your last pregnancy, I think it was the sore boobs you had. but I have read of people having different symptoms 2nd time around so Im still holding out hope for you.

ny - I do think they are very different and dont get it. but at the same time he is very interested in his new obsession (gardening) so I just wanted some of that interest to be focused towards what should be the most important thing right now - us making a life. I didnt want it to just be me doing all the work, planning etc. and him just having the fun part! he also mentioned he was going to read my books once I got pregnant. so perhaps once it happens it will kick in more. although since I let him have it he has already been talking about it all with me more.

Id love to see more photos of you, I bet you look lovely.

just continued reading about ella's reaction to the news......awwww thats sooooo cute! some kids are very happy to be getting a brother or sister, others are not at all! It sounds normal for an only child to think that way. I cant remember if you are finding out the gender or not, I think you are? if its a boy then it will be fine, if its a girl perhaps talk to her about how much fun it would be to grow up with a little sister.

flying - thing is, I do talk to him about it all. I bring up symptoms, talk about CD days, and he just glosses over and is like 'well we will see'. In his mind its like this: we have tried, so forget about it and if your period doesnt come then do a pregnancy test. Wish it was that easy!! and just in general I was feeling alone and annoyed he that he wouldnt think to ask if I got my smiley yet, but instead was ingrossed in his gardening book!!!

those belly bands are great! in fact I would like to wear those now to hide my muffin top
(hope you know what that is!!!)

sheryl: I hear a lot of people dont want a christmas baby. I dont care what time of year they are born I just want a baby. hope your hubby gets over his sickness soon, and try not to catch it!

mummy: hi! I love chocolate too, so easter memories for me was lots of chocolate, not the religious part! I cant wait to be able to do an egg hunt for my children. as for all that chocolate I would be eating it all hoping my child didnt notice!!

babyhopes: yes we did have a heart to heart, all is good now. there are a lot of people over 40 on here and pregnant, and you know what soooo many celebrities too....I had a magazine recently that had a double page on pregnant celebs and all of them were over 35. theres a couple of tv actresses over 40 that just announced they were pregnant too. so I try not to think about it, but its always in the back of my mind. my massage therapist said I only look about 32 today so Im happy!!!

and yay for 2nd tri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and omg I know you would like a boy but Im picturing a gorgeous mini preethi!!!
sorry to hear you have been so ill, but glad you got a good scan and new dr. so are you going to postpone your trip or is it within the timeframe she said?

ndh: are the inlaws all in canada? thats great you have told everyone. how are you feeling?

huggles: how are you doing, scan is next week right?

 

[sarahincanada]

who knows most about cm on this thread.....so all these days Ive been feeling very wet down there and put it as watery. well finally today I took a sample to inspect, and it does stretch somewhat between my fingers so is that EW???

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah yes if it stretches and is like the gooey egg whites, its fertile cm! Hope this brings a smiley fact and then its a good ovulation.

Yes, we are going to find out the sex of the baby but not sure when that happens. Noyhing scheduled yet. I think its for sure a boy so I'm not rushing it.

 

[flyingduster]

Aww Preethi, I'm so sorry you're feeling sick! But yay for having pretty much moved everything, and good luck in the new home!!!


Dew!! hahaha!! Honestly, when someone is TTC and they are getting close to testing and not 'feeling' it, perhaps feeling a bit down about it and just wanting to start the next cycle already...? I reckon you're preg! heh. We'll see of course, but that really does seem pretty common!!!! GOOD LUCK!

ny, the bands don't squeeze at all. I actually got a size smaller than I first planned on getting, and they don't squeeze in the slightest. If I bunch the whole thing up it squeezes a little, but spread out wide you hardly feel it!

And yes, Sarah, they are sold to smooth out muffin tops as well as for maternity bands!

Sarah, I hope you get a smiley soon, your temps certainly don't indicate anything yet! FX for you...




AFM, I threw up this morning!?! Was a bit out of the blue, i got up, let the dogs out, got half dressed, and totally bare-chested, I feel my stomach lifting and had to make a dash to the bathroom! Heaps of violent throwing up, but of course I had a totally empty stomach so only bile came up! Ewwwww. Wasn't the nicest start to the morning. And to be honest, my stomach isn't feeling all that settled still. Ugh. I hope it's just a weird flush of hormones or something!

I'm seeing my midwife on saturday! At LAST! I last saw her at around 6 weeks, and I'm supposed to see her every month, but because I work full time I haven't had the time to take off and see her at all! She's being so nice and seeing me on saturday instead! I'm HOPING I can hear the heartbeat, as i haven't heard it at all yet!! I'll record it for sure if we do, cos hubby hasn't heard it either and can't be with me for the appointment (he's working) so will record it for him to hear.

 

[sarahincanada]
