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

[sherylb]

Thanks NDH! Time flies now!

I saw my mom and brother for a bit today. My mom was asking me if DH hadn't found a job by the time the baby was born if I would go back to work. I would if I had to but I am hopeful that it won't come to that and he will find an excellent job after taking that expensive test/trip and now going back to finish his degree. I am super proud of him and I don't think my mom can relate to the difficult time we are having. Once again I am grateful that we have DH's parents to fall back on if we need them b/c I think mine are super judgemental right now and wouldn't help us out. My mom suggested that we move to my hometown so that he will be able to get a job right away but there is so much more involved than just saying it. We likely would have a hard time selling our home and moving would be a nightmare for me. I barely have the energy to take out the trash right now still. It's just frustrating. I told her I would rather not discuss finances with her right now. I am sure DH is stressed out enough so I don't plan on sharing this discussion with him.

awww I think you've mentioned before that you mum is not super supportive right? thats too bad. yes best you dont share the conversation with DH. I would hope thought that your parents will help out when the time comes? surely?

I hope something great comes up soon for your hubby

 

[sherylb]

I kind of hope he gets an interview in July and gets to start something in August so that he can finish his last class. I don't know that my parents would help financially but I know DHs family has already offered multiple times and has said to let them know when we need help.

Thanks NDH and Sarah Sarah, I want both of us of to get pregnant together in the same month, oh God! Hope you are listening!

Sheryl, sorry your parents are so uptight about your current financial situation and instead of offering any help, they are giving free (apparently unappreciated) advice You and your DH seem to be in very loving, understanding and supportive relationship exactly what is required of you two in present situation....hope he gets great job offer soon...good luck to both of you and yay! for caring in-laws!!

Mummy/ Dew,

you both dont have to put your incidents on spoiler on my account. i am aware it is on my account as i was the one who was insensitive and not understanding the last time.

but i cant imagine what you both must have gone through, and i understand it by reading your spoilers.

when i was bleeding and being rushed to NHS, on my holiday, only i know how heartbreaking it was even before they checked me, just the fear and everything, so for you both to have gone through the actual; thing and come out alive, i take my hats off to you both

like NDH said,hoping that was the last time for you both and you will never have to go through that again, xxxxxxxxxxxx

Sarah, love your avatar pic. fx'd for your appointments and clomid big time !!!

Hope everyone is doing well, ny, glad your tummy aches are out the window !!

 

[MummyCat]

Preethi sweetheart... It wasn't just for you love... I was thinking of others who may not have wanted to read it, so I don't want you to feel bad! I felt better puting it in a spoiler!

Dew hun... Bless you for your lovely posts and for sharing your experience. I can completely understand. At one point with me, it took me 45 minutes to make Lottie a sandwich for lunch. My poor child!! Anyway... I don't want you to feel bad for me... because really I'm very lucky! Sarah mentioned it and she's completely right... after the MMC we fell pregnant on our third cycle. we really are very fertile and for that I am truley blessed. We just have an issue hanging on to them. This is my 4th pregnancy.

It's another reason why I get so frustrated for you both when another month goes by and the appears... I feel like I would love to share my fertility around to people who need it.. like a magic dust! LOL But I'm hoping that there's a reason we all have to deal with the things we have because each of us has our own journey to make to have to make our families... and I'm sure if it takes Sarah a year and clomid to get there, she will be greatful looking back once she's holding her little bubba because it'll prove how big a miracle life really is!!

I'm thinking of you both all the time and hope that your forever babies are just around the corner

My folks will be here in a couple hours... they've landed safely!! Will catch up when I can... just wanted to pop on here and say THANK YOU for your support!!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Hope you have a lovely time with your folks !!! enjoy your weekend xxxx

 

[NDH]

Wow Mummy - tomorrow is your halfway party! And your parents will be around for that milestone, that's awesome. I hope you have a wonderful time with them

 

[sarahincanada]

mummy have a wonderful time with your parents and
HAPPY HALF WAY TOMORROW!!!

 

[sarahincanada]

well ladies I survived the first clomid dose!!!! hope it stays this way and doesnt get worse as I keep taking them. hubby sat with me last night on the bed and read through all the pamplets which was really nice as it felt like he was really involved. Not that he isnt, as he has come to every appointment with me, just couldnt come yesterday as he was working. he might try to come next friday.

got to go, have a massage and reflexology apt today yay!

 

[Huggles]

Glad the first dose went ok. Enjoy your reflexology and massage!

 

[nypage1981]

Mummy and Dew- I totally know what you went through as I chose to go through mine naturally at home....not the greatest choice i've made in my life. I actually did pass out and thought I may die. BUT, I didn't and here I am with a baby inside of me that kicks me and prods me and makes me so , so happy. After my MC it took over a year to get pregnant and I thought maybe the MC made me infertile completely so this is a miracle to me. I sympathize with you both.

Sarah and Dew will get your miracles and one day be looking into the face of your baby and thinking that something that you wanted and tried for so hard is something to be cherished that much more. I can't wait until you both get pregnant!

 

[babyhopes2323]

ooh enjoy your reflexology and massage session sarah, sounds very enticing !!

dont worry, you will survive clomid, and everything will be ok !!

 

[nypage1981]

Baby- you feeling movement yet? Mine can be quite a mover and shaker in there! Around 20 weeks is when I really started to feel it going, its so exciting!

 

[babyhopes2323]

absolutely no movement, but then again, i have a low lying placenta and dont know if that is the factor .

i asked the doc and he said dont worry , its probably still small, it takes time. when i went for the scan it measured 6 days behind , probably because of late ovulation is what the doc says but they are not worried at all about a 6 day gap, so technically, i dont think im 20 weeks yet. im around 19 + 4 or 5

the ticker is according to my LMP.

im dying to feel movement, so when i do, im sure it will be great !

 

[flyingduster]

You will love the movement hun, keep 'feeling' for it when you've been fairly active and then settle down again; bub is lulled more by us moving around and then wakes up to become active when we're still. Supposably. Mine seems to enjoy kicking me when I'm working and now does nothing in the evenings when hubby is trying to feel... LOL! But my first kicks I felt were within 10 mins of laying in bed and pressing on my tummy TRYING to feel something. lol!

And is bub is smaller then for sure you can easily not be feeling it yet, it needs to be big enough to push on both sides of the uterus at once to be felt on the outside; if it's small and kicks it just pushes itself around the space it has and we can't feel it! And with your low-lying and anterior placenta it won't be helping at all, muffling all the crucial areas where you can feel anything. I'd be concentrating on your sides when trying to feel something, as that's the most probable 'thin' areas for now... For me, I'm still ONLY feeling movement on the left side and down really low; nothing across the front or right where I assume my placenta must be blocking it.


to all!

 

[sarahincanada]

flying I love your new avatar! you look very trim with a neat baby bump! has your body changed at all? I hear about people losing weight on their arms and legs when they are pregnant as the fat shifts. I hate my flabby arms and would love that!!!

 

[Dew]

Sarah, I like your avatar pic, you look very beautiful and your hubby is so cute are you wearing a jacket over your gown? Was it cold when you got married?

 

[sherylb]

Thanks flying for the info on where you feel bubs. I have such a hard time telling whether it's baby or gas still (sometimes I think mixed) and exactly where to put my hands. I am sure that some of what I have felt is bubs but I couldn't tell you which was what still. This baby may have to kick the hell out of me for me to believe it's baby and not gas.

I got 3 new maternity tops today. One is a t-shirt with baby footprints that says "Who's kicking?" I am also planning to start garage sale shopping with MIL tomorrow for indestructible books for baby that can be easily cleaned before she gets here.

 

[flyingduster]

Sarah, I haven't noticed any shifting of fat yet, though hopefully it will; I hate my flabby arms too!!! LOL!! I HAVE noticed though that despite the somewhat massively growing stomach now, I've not gained an ounce of weight on the scales. Bub is obviously strong cos I just got a big boot in the guts right now, so I am hoping that all the food I'm eating is going straight to bub, and my body is burning fat to keep itself going... Meaning that as bub grows, my body is burning fat too so I'm staying the same weight!?? I'm not dieting at all, just eating smaller portions (easy to do; bub is taking up the room now so small meals fill me easily!) and trying to keep fairly healthy with what I do eat... FX that means I might be able to loose weight after bub comes, or even come out of this better off than I was before...!!! lol! I still have another 17+ weeks to gain weight though I guess, so we'll see.


Sheryl, I felt a few vauge flutters for the week before I felt the first kicks, but was never sure if they were gut rumblings or baby. I still don't know if they were bub or not! It wasn't until the night before I hit 20 weeks that I got my first REAL kicks, absolutely no doubt at all, I got three solid kicks from baby; it made me cry! I then felt a kick or two most days, and by the end of the week I was feeling them more often. Now it's any time really, though if I'm still I can feel odd rolling movements too and stuff, but mainly only still feeling big kicks. If your placenta is towards the back then hopefully you'll feel movement earlier! I feel mine down low and to the left because of my placenta being across the front (though I assume it's off to the right a bit and sitting fairly high!??) I can imagine that if it wasn't blocking such a large area across the front that I'd be feeling waaaaaay more! I'm jealous of women with a placenta to the back! LOL.

When you DO feel kicks, there won't be any doubt about it. The flutters and weird feelings will always leave you wondering, but the kicks are solid thumps for me; really obvious now that I can feel them!



AFM, I'm babysitting my bosses dog, Duffy, at the moment. She's nearly a year old american cocker spaniel, and she is likely to be shown at some point so we're keeping her coat long for now, which means she has MASSES of it! lol!

Her and Paris, my poodle, are best friends so it's nice for them to get to spend a whole week living together! Riki, my old foxy X isn't quite so impressed by it and is grumbling away in her bed and telling Duffy all about it if she comes too close. LOL!
