FSB - good luck with the class! I'm sure theyll be so happy for you!

DS - Congrats! A boy :) So sweet. Glad you are getting into planning!!!!

Smawfl -Cute bump!!!! I love the UPPAbaby Cruz too, how much does it go for where you are?! I think I saw it for $700 US which would be too much for us but maybe I can find it for less, I really love that one.

AFM - I just found out my friend has a Doppler she is going to lend us, and we are picking it up today!!!! I am so excited. My DH isn't as excited because he actually doesn't want to overuse that type of technology on the baby, which I agree about. We are just going to use it every so often if I'm worried or need some reassurance. I've looked at some research and while there is not a lot done (which makes me uneasy) I think a long as it's not all the time it's ok :) I forget, do any of you use a Doppler?

I have had crazy hip and pelvic pain for the past few days. I did read that about now they start to stretch and widen so I guess that's it. I literally feel like it's a pain the ass, lol.

Have you seen the Cruz in real life? I watched a couple of YouTube videos on it this morning and it looks very neat. I love the small wheels, not keen on some of the prams that have HUGE rear wheels.

The shop that told me about it didn't have one in stock so she couldn't tell me the price but I guess it'll be about that price.

The good thing with it is you can use it from birth with a snug cushion thing :thumbup: so I'd want to see how that works too.

I've been tempted by a doppler but I think I would be tempted to use it all the time. I figured once I start feeling baby more often then that will be a good reasurance for me.

Yep the pains have started for me too... I told my midwife and she said "yep that's so normal in pregnancy" I hope it doesn't get too bad!
 
DS - Wow, so excited for you! A little boy. Glad it's made things a bit clearer for you and you're getting excited! Have you bought much for the baby yet? Nice little bumpy too :thumbup:

Smawfl - that's a great bump for 17 weeks :thumbup: I think you're bigger than me although I'm not sure if I look more pregnant to other people than I do to myself, if you know what I mean!? :wacko:

Gaia - ooh, good luck with the doppler! I haven't got one. I've looked at them many times online but don't think I'm going to get one as like smawfl says, I'd be tempted to use it too much! And the baby is making him/herself known to me fairly regularly now so that's reassurance enough :cloud9: I've had the pains in the ass most of today too :nope: And in the hip. It started when we were doing the shopping and has continued through the day. Didn't help that I wanted to do gardening and cleaning today :dohh: I've done everything I can physically do, just more slowly than usual! I also got really awful cramp in my thigh yesterday, funnily enough when I was crouching down to look at some maternity bras :wacko: Plus I was upstairs in M&S so getting down the stairs was soooo painful! I can still feel it in my thigh today so it must have done some damage to the muscle.

Hope you have all had a good weekend. Back to school in the morning :cry: Yes, it makes teachers want to cry as well as the kids!
 
No nothing yet Pusscat. Still trying to look on line and get ideas for the nursery and stuff. But I did get a lot of clothes from my sister yesterday from her two boy and am in the process of getting those washed......even though I don't have a dresser for them yet lol BOOOOO! Will hopefully be going to look at some stuff with one of my friends next week:happydance:
 
I'm loving all the bump pictures ladies! :thumbup: The actual bump stage must be much better than the bloat stage lol I was already overweight before and now I have bloat lol Even DH noticed last night when he had to peel me off of the couch last night after having horrible morning sickness all day.
The good news is that I've read that morning sickness is a good sign that you HCg is at good levels and there is less risk of miscarriage. I'm still not taking that to be final, but it made me feel better.

I'm actually thinking about telling my parents today, it's getting really hard to hide the pregnancy with how much I have been getting sick. I wanted to wait until I was 12 weeks, but I think I want my parents to know regardless of what happens. Did you all tell your parents early?
 
Hany - we told our parents at 10 weeks. Would have told them sooner but DH's parents live 3 hours away and we wanted to tell them together and that was the only time we could get them together. Would have told them sooner otherwise but to be honest my parents had already guessed by then. It seems I'm not very good at hiding it!
 
I think we are going to tell my parents today, since we see them and talk to them more. It's getting harder to hide it from them. We hardly ever see my husbands parents, so we may wait to talk to them. We may have to tell his dad and step mom though because we will be moving into their house on the 30th of this month...
 
Ouch, I've been getting those calf cramps a lot, especially as I'm waking up and stretching my legs...fortunately nothing so bad yet that I've continued to feel it throughout the day, but I've heard that's pretty common! :hugs: Hope you feel better!

Happy 19 weeks to both you and DS, and 17 to Smawfl yesterday, and 11 to Gaiagirl tomorrow...and, I forgot to say, nice bump DS too! I can definitely see the start of a bump :thumbup: but I can also tell you're going to be one of those lucky girls who has a totally flat stomach a week after giving birth!

I've been totally unmotivated with work this week so I've been trying to direct my energy toward nesting...our future nursery is currently a study/storage room and it's a total disaster...and ever since our wedding basically all of the storage spaces in our apartment have been overflowing, so we really need to reorganize and purge. And that's before we're even ready for baby furniture or childproofing. It's a huge project but a very good way to procrastinate :lol:
 
Wow, I started that post about an hour ago and so much has happened since then :p

Nice bump Pusscat :thumbup: I think we look pretty similar!

HM, you're right that ms is a good sign that your hormone levels are high enough, and every day that passes with no bleeding is a good sign too! I know I have read that most MCs happen in the first 6 weeks, and most MCs also involve bleeding (MMCs are rarer) so you are in great shape. :hugs:

We told our parents right away -- we found out on 1/1 and told my parents on the 2nd and his on the 5th or so. I thought a lot about this before we were TTC and decided that would be the best thing. I remember my mother telling me that a family friend had told her she was pregnant the day the friend herself found out...if a family friend does that, I figured my mom would be hurt not to find out about her own daughter's pregnancy right away. :p But it seems not to be the norm so maybe she would have understood.

I am glad we told my parents because they have us over for dinner almost every week and it would have been hard to hide the morning sickness from them...especially since my dad is very proud of his cooking and would otherwise have been insulted by my aversions and lack of appetite :haha: but I don't know whether I would have regretted it if we'd had a miscarriage. With my in-laws, who live far away, it didn't make much of a difference one way or the other, although they were always very happy to hear updates.
 
Han - I told my mum just a few days after finding oit. And then my mum and sister a week or so after that. Hope you have a good day telling parents - they're going to be so excited :thumbup:

Seaweed - that sounds like a big job and I know I'd be the same and just put it off for as long as possible! The sorting out bit will be very dull but the baby decorating bit will be exciting so it will all be worth it :winkwink:

My leg STILL hurts when I walk down and up stairs!
 
I'm kind of nervous to tell them to be honest :wacko: I know they'll be excited, but it's still nerve wracking none the less. My parents are divorced too, so getting them together would be suspicious lol. They are really good friends, but getting all of the family together takes alot of time and effort. We are going to be telling them separately.

I was really really nervous too! The more people you tell the easier it gets. But the first one is definitely nerve wracking! My parents are divorced too and are definitely not friends so had to tell them separately. Don't think my dad minded that I'd told my mum a week before him, at least he didn't say so. He was just very very happy :thumbup:
 
Hello ladies

Love the bumb pics!

Can you have a look at my chart this month - Fertility Friend as put me as 5DPO but I think I'm only 3DPO. Also my coverline is very low - what do you think?

Hi mini. It looks like ff is just going off the positive opk but I agree ov looks more likely to have been 2 days after that. I'm not sure, but I'd go with the temp dip and then spike as pinpointing ov, therefore making you 3dpo.

Coverline seems to make sense to me
 
DH and I are talking more about whether or not we are going to tell. I will keep you posted :thumbup:
 
Mini, I agree that you are more likely to be 3 DPO...weird on FF's part since usually it recognizes that ov can be a day or two after +OPK!
