The Junebugs: TTC June 2011! 18 BFP's :) + 4 angels :( - 14 Junebug babies born!

[Mrs Mel]

As for me....

It's been a busy couple of months! As I say, I was really feeling quite overwhelmed by trying and not succeeding each month so I had a little time out. We moved house in Feb which all went well.
We had also planned to go to the doctors last month, just to get some very basic tests done to make sure there wasn't any reason why it hadn't happened, but we decided to try for a little longer now we no longer had the stress of moving.
And, I am very happy to announce that this month I have my first ever !!

It is very early days, we're both very shocked, incredibly excited but trying to remain cautious at the same time. But mostly just very pleased that it has happened naturally for us.

Going to the dr's on Thursday and, all being well, will be calling on you lovely ladies for your expertise on pregnancy and babies

Congrats Mrs Mel!!! Hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend! Anyone doing anything for the jubilee??

 

[swanxxsong]

Mrs Mel! Congrats! I am so happy for you! That is great news, good luck at the doctor's office this week, and please keep us posted!

Thank you also for the compliments on Aria. She's mommy's little angel. It is crazy how quickly they grow!

She had her four month appointment today, and it went well! 50% for weight, 75% for height! Growing like a weed haha. Doctor is proud of all her progress and even supported my wishes to do baby-led weaning with her, so we got the OK to skip cereal and purees. Was so exciting for me to get that news! Not that I'd have done it anyway, but still, nice to have support lol.

Singers, it arrived today so once I wash and prep it I will show you!

congrats mrs mel and thank you all is going well

 

[Mrs Mel]

Thank you everyone

Singers, some of the ladies on our street have organised a street party for the jubilee, so that should be fun! I think the plan is that everyone brings a BBQ to the front of their house - will be a good chance to meet all the new neighbours.
Let's just hope this rain stops eh?

Mrs Mel - CONGRATS!!! That is wonderful news All the best with your Dr's visit.

I saw my BP specialist today and of course my BP was perfect for him. He is happy for me to stay on the same medication for now and see him again in 2 months time. I'm pleased with that and in the mean time I plan on working on losing some weight and hopefully by then the BP will be back to normal.

 

[beccad]

Aww Mrs Mel I'm really happy for you! Congratulations! Lots of sticky vibes and I hope you are feeling well!

Not much to update for me, but will write again later - going back to bed for a couple of hours this morning!

Hello ladies! It’s been awhile things have been wonderful and challenging. I love my moby wrap and so does Delaina. It’s nice being hands free and having her close. Breastfeeding has gotten challenging again. For some reason she flails her arms and kicks her legs when it’s time to feed. It doesn’t matter if she’s super hungry or not she just hates to be put into positions. I’m pressing on though.

Dinah, I hope you milk issues are resolved, hopefully the changes you made will produce more milk. Do they know what went wrong with your pregnancy? Is there nothing you can do proactively to ensure a healthy second pregnancy? Sorry to hear about Graces birthmate, it’s very sad and I hope the parents are managing.

Nanner, I had a second degree tear and I still haven’t looked down there. It doesn’t hurt or feel sore, I just haven’t worked up the nerve. Cute pic

Welsh mum, I am so glad things are looking good for hubby. What a blessing! Love the pics.

Singers, Hopefully baby is on the way.

Wanab, Can’t wait to hear about your appointment.

Swanx, Aria is adorable. You must love that cute happy face!

Hello Mrs Mel, Congrats!

 

[kimberley3]

Sorry to hear Singers that baby isn't moving, im sure it won't be long though.

Swan fab to hear that Aria is progressing well

Good to hear from you CeeDee and fab pics she's beautiful and her hair is great

Kim fab bump pictures!

AFM i've had a great day! I had my scan letter through for the 31st May so i'll be 20+2, sooooo excited for this Also had my midwife appointment today. She said everything seems great i'm back up to pre pregnancy weight after loosing with MS. She said that baby has a strong heatbeat, stronger than she would have expected for how many weeks i am. She asked if i could feel any movement because she could which was wierd because i couldn't lol

With the whole theory of the fast heartbeat sounding like a horse being a girl and a slower heartbeat sounding like a train being a boy, she said it sounded like a fast train to her lol which is helpful :duh: i thought it sounded like a horse lol but we'll have to wait and see. She put it down as 150 anyway.

In other baby related news we bought a hand carved crib on the weekend (never planned on a crib) for £25. Its sooooo worth more,it is second had but still, i'll have to put a piccy on later.However half of it is still at the persons house as it didn't all fit in our car so we are picking that up tomorrow or Thursday. We have also bout out nursery bedding and mobile and decoration bits lol I was a bit overly eager haha but its nice to know its there now xxx

CeeDee - Delaina is gorgeous! Love her hair!!

Breastfeeding has gotten challenging again. For some reason she flails her arms and kicks her legs when it’s time to feed. It doesn’t matter if she’s super hungry or not she just hates to be put into positions. I’m pressing on though.

Fletcher does this sometimes too, you've probably tried everything but I find that making sure he is tummy to tummy with me and my forearm and hand firmly on his back before trying to get him to latch on makes it a bit easier. Then once he's on I put my other arm / hand around his bum / legs stops him from flailing his legs about.

well had a MW appointment today.. Didnt quite go as planned, I commented that I wouldn't mind an induction pessary only if I could go home in between, and everything seems to suddenly get completely out of my control and im booked in for one next tuesday...and am seeing a consultant tomorrow to ask about going home..Im slightly bemused as I haven't even had a sweep yet, and wont even be 42 weeks... So tomorrow going in to hospital to argue my case and if they are still not happy then I wont be having one, and im considering saying no anyway I want to wait till at least 42 as some babies dont want to be born then anyway! Im just hoping she comes on her own. I also feel abit like, I wanted to HB so I could be in control, and suddenly opening my mouth about induction it is already out of my control... So Will be taking it back tommorrow.. Also spoke to neals yard today, to try out all their homeopathic remedies to help kick start everything.. Which I would much prefer... Feeling very upset and tired at the moment, perhaps today was not the day to go to the MW!! Hope everyone is having a good week, and no one else will be late like me!!!

 

[Nanner]

CeeDee- What a cute baby! I just love her hair!
I'm pretty much healed now, but still seem to feel it a bit. My hubby assures me that it looks perfectly normal. I did find that it's much more comfortable to stretch it on my own before "getting busy."

Singers- I agree with you about waiting for an induction. I would wait until 42 weeks before being induced. Unless you have medicals reasons, it probably isn't necessary to do it before then. Besides, you LO might decide to come naturally between now and then.

Poppie- Glad to hear that your BP issue is getting better. I hope you won't have to worry about it much longer.

Wana- I'd love to see a pic of the crib when you can. I love handmade furniture.

Kimberely- Looking forward to hearing your baby story soon!

Mrs. Mel- Glad you're back and congrats! That's such exciting news!

 

[singers_love]

Thanks Nanner,

well we have the consultant today, and Im going to see whether I can push it back to Friday, or Saturday or even Monday, just to give her the most time possible, though I think that my OH is starting to worry that something might go wrong, and wants me to think about it carefully if the Consultant says I can go home... Though tuesday wouldn't be very good for me, as OH Father is down, and as I don't want anyone here if I do go in to labour either he has to get the train home, or he is going to have to stay with our friend... Which wouldn't be that great timing, and I wanted at least 5 days before all the relatives come down and they would come down at the weekend (OH mothers a teacher) if she were born, tuesday/wednesday/thursday or friday... I don't know just feel a little upset about it stlll... And guess what my Blood pressure that has been perfect though out my whole pregnancy I mean like 120/75 or less, shot up to 130/85 yesterday, which I assume is because of the stress of this induction stuff..... I am trying Blue Cohosh, and numerous other teas, a massage oil, to try to get her out! I had a chat with her this morning, about coming out now... but she isnt really being very helpful!

Hopefully the consultant will give me a sweep, which I haven't had yet, which might start things off... Or at least tell me whether everything is going on ok in there... It might be once thats done it starts everything off!

Sorry to rant a bit... though I think its more disappointment.. though at the end of this what feels like very long long 9 months I will have a baby!!!

Ah singers I really feel for you. You don't have to go for induction right away when they tell you (you can ask for them to scan you to check the placenta and such like), but most health authorities won't let you have a home birth after 42 weeks anyway, so you'd still have to go to hospital. It's really crap, but I will keep hoping that she comes of her own accord before Tuesday! Definitely push for a sweep - I thought they did these things as standard at 41 weeks anyway?

Is there any discrepancy between your LMP due date and the scan due date? Did you know when you ovulated? I've heard of people arguing their case for a delay in induction if the dates differ...

 

[kimberley3]

Just a quick message singers just think about the blue cosh or what ever its called I seen a thread on here by a health person in nicu that its bad for baby and mother could be wrong but I'm sure she said never to do it. Just had to tell you as it.flagged red in my head when I read it. Sorry its short but I am on my phone and in a rush but did not want to go without saying that x
