Starting clomid in February... buddies?

8wks god that seems so little I get 6 months pay before it goes to statuary pay cant believe how two countries can be so different x

I know theres a buggy which has got good reviews and also turns into car seat also comes with matching baby bag, under buggy carry shelf, rain cover and foot muff for £99, a cot bed with two draws under it for £139 and loads more stuff I think Im gonna have to just take the risk and buy xx

Yea, the "materity" policies here are a complete joke. But I am happy at least to have something this time. With my son I didn't get anything because we moved and I switched jobs. I started this job when he was 6 weeks old. It was not a good experience for sure!

I must admit my lifesaver has been the fact my mom and best friend do all my childcare. That really saves me the worry about daycare at such a fragile age. I would like to enroll her when she is about a year old and can move and play with other kids. I enrolled my son at 15 months for one day a week and while it was hard I think it has helped him a lot. Now at 3.5 he really enjoys seeing his "friends" and is learning a ton.

Those sound like great deals. I think take the risk and do it.

I get it though. I didn't buy anything for my first until my 20 week scan. I was a ball of nerves. This one was even longer but that was mostly because I didn't need anything really other than the unfun stuff like diapers.

 

[AngelaALA]

Thats it though why did they have to do baby week now if it was in two weeks it woukdnt be an issue dam you Aldi for not taking my situation into consideration xx

 

[AngelaALA]

11 wks today guys just two weeks left of the first tri xx

How is everyone xx Krissie how you feeling xx

Red how you getting on xx

 

[krissie328]

Almost out of first tri! How exciting.

Red- I hope we see a bfp soon!

So I had my final ob appt today. She is head down. Last week she was oblique so we weren't sure if we could induce or if it was going to be a c-section.

So I go in tomorrow evening to start the gel and will start pitocin on Wednesday morning. Hopefully my labor goes quickly like my son's and I have a baby that evening.

 

[AngelaALA]

Krissie god thats amazing I really hope all goes well and Im so glad she has now moved for you keep us posted and I cant wait to see a pic of her xx

 

[RedRose19]

Hi ladies I'm almost sure I'm pregnant on symptoms alone but look these are my tests 1 from yesterday and 1today which do you think is darker ! It's definitely not faded.. 11 days past trigger 9 dpo

That is exciting krissie! I hope it all goes well and she is fast and safe!

 

[RedRose19]

So confirmed today with this baby but omg I'm expecting baby number 3! Eeek!

 

[krissie328]

Miss Alice Rose is finally here!

I came in on 1/23/18 to start cervical ripening. They did 4 rounds of cytotec. I was not dilating so I asked to change it up about 4. They decided on a folley bulb. That was inserted about 6 pm. I tried to sleep from 8:30-11 but was having some contractions so asked for some Tylenol. At 11:15 I woke up needing to pee so got up and my water went and I was 3 cm. After that the contractions were just on top of each other. She was born right about 1:30 am on 1/25/18. I had requested an epidural but it was all so fast I ended up having her with nothing. There was only my nurse in the room when she was born.

She was 6 lbs 5 oz, 18 inches long. She is doing so good and I am just so in love with her.

 

[krissie328]

Congrats Red! How exciting injectibles worked so great again!

 

[AngelaALA]

Red sorry hun Ive not logged on here and seen tje news thats amazing news congrats hun so made up for you xx

Krissie she is absolutely gorgeous Im so happy for you and great news that it was a quick delivery amazing xx

 

[RedRose19]

Huge congratulations krissie! She's adorable!

How are you Angela? Xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Im okay Red

Still feeling tired and bump is growing so loose clothing for me now and gonna have to go maternity clothe shopping xx

Been bleeding again so was back at hospital Friday another scan baby is all well happy and healthy no issues so they did an internal said Ive got erosion on my cervix which is where they believe the bleeding is from which is not causing the baby any issues. They said its very common in pregnancy due to hormones and increase in blood and is nothing to worry about. They're sending me for a colonoscopy just to be on the safe side xx

How are you feeling Red how did DH take the news

 

[krissie328]

Oh Angela, bleeding is so stressful! Hopefully it will stop for you so you can enjoy second tri. Have you had your official 12 week scan?

 

[RedRose19]

Oh that's stressful Angela! Sorry to hear it. I hope it stops soon, it sounds like baby is happy and healthy, did they tell you to stay away from bd with dh? Some of the girls from last year when I was preggo with Matthew has spotting and was told no sex, seemed to help a bit.

Sore boobs and tired but otherwise grand! Dh was like yayyy... it's 6am go back to sleep lol but it always takes him a few days for it to sink in lol

 

[AngelaALA]

Lol that made me giggle red xx

Yeah no BD for us but if Im honest due to tiredness I dont fancy it anyway lol xx

My official dating scan is this Tuesday so Ill update and post a pic then xx

So is this your last now Red xx

How you doing Krissie hows the little princess xx

 

[krissie328]

BDing was the last thing I wanted this pregnancy. I was just exhausted from start to finish!

Alice is doing really well! She is just so tiny. We had to try different bottles as she struggled with the ones I had and now she is eating better. She has her first check up Monday so I'm looking forward to seeing how she is doing with her weight.

 

[RedRose19]

I think so.. I mean I always wanted 4 but we'll see lol. Don't really want to go through the injection again. Part of me had hoped the two follicles would become babies but not sure thays a good idea either lol high risk etc.

 

[AngelaALA]

Its worked quickly though both times which goes in your favour Red if you do want more xx

Krissie loving the new pic you have up its so cute how has your son been with Alice xx

 

[krissie328]

Thanks Angela. He is loving it so far. He is so curious about his baby sister. He gets concerned when he can't find her. It really has been precious. After all my worries about the age gap I am really pleased with it now.

My only concern is he always wants her awake so I have to watch he isn't poking her eyes.
