Hello ladies, I hope you have all enjoyed a magical weekend

I'm on cd29 and enduring the second day of excrutiating boobs, like I've only ever experienced once before... when I was pregnant. I took a test yesterday morning and it was a big fat negative. Put me on a bit of a downer, but the boobs are still puzzling me. My left one is getting veiny enough for my dh to comment on it!

Not 100% sure when AF is due because not 100% sure when I ov'd... could be due anywhere between monday and thursday. Soooooo, I'm trying not to poas again and just wait it out a bit. I'd forgotten how disappointing a bfn can be

I'm trying not to get too hopeful and am aware of how strong the mind can be in creating physical symptoms. Plus the kids start back at nursery this week, so work is going to get tough and I want to focus on not getting too stressed out (my biggest downfall!)

I hope you all have a wonderful week, I'll be thinking of you xx

 

[lilesMom]

Disco ria. Il keep u and a hopefully bfp in my prayers xx

 

[magicwhisper]

good luck!

 

[withlovemom]

Fingers crossed for u discoria....

Hi n hugs to everyone else..

 

[babybemine]

hugs to you all.
congrats on your new baby. hope you have a quick healing.
Just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. We are going on vacation for two weeks after this week is over. AF should start while we are on vacay so if that happens then we prob wont deal with the RE for another cycle. We will be able to try naturally though.

 

[lilesMom]

[withlovemom]

smiler..hope d stitches r healing well n u r havin an awesome time with Patrick..
Hope ur MW tells u somethin to soothe his uneasiness..

Lilesmom..aww..sorry to know Simon is not keepin well..hope he feels better very soon..

AFM, all going well..had a routine check-up yesterday..baby is doin fine..i have lost almost 2pounds of weight though after my last check-up..n i guess its because i have started my regular walking of 30 to 40 mins everyday..was doin it so i stay fit but did not want to loose weight...i am 26 weeks now n have put on only 14 pounds or so..which is not much.. n i have always been on d skinny side so did not want to loose any weight that i was gaining.. but d doc said it is nothin to worry abt, as d baby is growin fine so m tryin not to worry abt it but m gonna pay a little more attention to my diet & exercise..n stop stressing over my office work which has been crazy hectic for d past few days..hope that gets me back on track..

hugs n prayers to all..

 

[lilesMom]

walking is great for u and for labour xx
swimming is great too. really good in later preg when exercise gets hard

hi and hugs to all

 

[Smiler82]

withlovemom loads of people lose weight when pg rather than gain, don't fret over 2 pounds your baby will be taken care of first and foremost so whatever you eat etc goes to them first then you, so s/he is well cared for. I'm sure the increased exercise is to do with it, so don't worry. And def don't stop exercising! Will stand you in good stead for labour!!

Lilesmom yeah I am BFing. The MW was worse than useless today - I said he gets so uncomfy after a feed and she just said "oh, he shouldn't do." Well - thanks!! Yeah he just gets really fretful and goes a bit tense. He never really cries, but his face scrunches up and he flails his arms and legs around, and kind of pushes his legs out to stretch himself out. We've been using Infacol which seems to be helping, but he never passes wind or poo unless he's relaxed, so we have to just get him through the uncomfy stage, settle him down and then usually when he's having a cuddle and about to fall asleep, he finally lets rip He always gets hiccups and sneezes after a feed too. The health visitor is round tomorrow so maybe she'll be more use than the MW!
