[Girlnextdoor]

Thanks, ladies! We are very excited! I've included some pics of our baby girl. She was actually shaking her finger at us and pointing!

Loving all the birthing stories! It's so amazing to be able to hear everyone's different version! I'd love to have a natural birth but nothing ever goes according to plan!

Oh my goodness, what a perfect little girl you have there! Congratulations!!!

Ladies, im either 5dpo or 7dpo today and my whole uterus and ovaries hurt! Im physically in so much pain when I cough, sneeze, blow my nose etc.... Has anyone ever had this before?? Im ok when im not moving! Lower backache as well! (I have a reverted uterus so I dont know whether this has anything to do with it, dont remember ever having this in the 2ww before!) x x x

 

[MRS_HJO]

Hi Ladies,

I hope you all are well. Just had to share Baby Liam's latest photo from today. He's weighing in at 1 lb. 9 oz. and about 24w5d.

and prayers to all of you.

Heather,
That photo is so cute I can hardly stand it!

 

[dimplesmagee]

He is sooo cute Mrs. HJO!!!
I've been feeling baby move the last few days, more often. I LOVE it! I really can't wait to feel the hard kicks, and elbows...I will cherish feeling uncomfortable, b/c I have life inside of me! I have taken on a new perspective since my couple of losses. I can handle the aches and pains. (though I might complain, bare with me on those days)

Rachel, when I was 13dpo I went walking around the mall. I was so crampy and achey, my lower back was killing me....I was so uncomfortable, which led me to test. I remember getting sharp little twinges too with all the beginnings of my pregnancies. Hope your discomfort is a good sign!

Mrs. J~ I'm not sure when I will be having a gender scan. I go on Monday to the specialist, and they are doing an evaluation (Whatever that means) and the nurse who scheduled the appt. said they would schedule more scan at that appt. My husband and I still have decided if we are finding out. I'm kind of neutral either way or maybe I'm nervous of my reaction if it's another boy. As I said above, I'm grateful for the life growing inside of me, but I've had such strong feelings that this was a girl, so if it was a boy, well I know I would be fine, but I'm thinking initially...I would love a girl though! My OH keeps telling me this is our last, and I'm SOOO not ready for it to be our last. Makes me sad sometimes.

It's my birthday tomorrow (the 26th), and my OH is in Germany for business. Just feeling a little down I guess. I asked a few friends to get together with me friday to celebrate my bday, but I had to plan it. My sisters are too busy to have me over for dinner, and my parents live 3 hrs. away. I will see everyone on Sunday...but it kind of sucks to be alone on your birthday. Guess it's all part of growing up!

rachel....im roughly at the same stage & have been crampy & back achey also...??? not reading anything into it as ill drive myself mad!!

Heather baby liam has the sweetest little face xxx
Janell...HAPPY BIRTHDAY lovely lady xx

[LittleBird]

Happy birthday, Janell!

moonbeam & rachel -- I hope you two catch the eggy this time! I've got everything crossed for you!

 

[Tweak0605]

Janell - happy birthday!!

MB & RB - hope you guys catch that eggy this time! have everything crossed for you 2!

we're in need of some BFPs on this thread!!

AFM - I'm out again, after AF showed up this a.m. Doing 1 more cycle of soy, then calling my doctor for more blood tests to see why I haven't conceived in 6 months. Hopefully I won't need to though.

 

[LittleBird]

Aw, tweak! I'm sorry AF came.

Good luck with Soy this cycle, and don't feel bad about calling the doctor. I know it made me feel better when we had tests done! You have been temping, so at least you are taking matters into your own hands and learning about your cycles. When it's time to have a conversation with the doctor, I would take your chart from this cycle and last cycle and let them know that you have been taking this TTC business seriously!

Of course, if you get your BFP before then, even better!

Aw thanks, Beverly! I feel like its going by so fast, too!

I HOPE You get your BFP this month!!

 

[Mrs. J]

Damn Tweak, I totally had such high hopes that this was your month! Sorry that nasty witch came! hoping you get some answers!

Janell~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!That is SO sad that you'll be alone on your bday! If we lived close, I'd totally throw you a party! I've had a birthday or two that totally sucked bc no one was around. No fun! Go out and spoil yourself! Maybe get a sitter and go get a prenatal massage and buy some new clothes Hope you feel cheery again soon!!

Rachel~ Hopefully this is IT for yoU!!

 

[sthorp1179]

Heather baby Liam is the cutest thing i have seen for a long time...i so want one of those!!!

Tweak sorry af came the old hag fingers crossed that we will get that summer baby we dream of. Good look moonbeam and rachel. I'm on CD 9 today have been consistently bding every day or every other day should be ovulating in the next few days hopefully.

 

[LWood]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANELL!!

Amy, I am sorry for AF coming

 

[Hanskiz]

Well i applaud you cornish i really want a home birth next pregnancy whether i will get it or not is another matter though lol i think that i probably will hold out longer before i ask for any pain relief but not sure i can do it all natural i have a low pain tolerance and tend to have back to back labours slower and more painful. They are getting shorter though 1st labour 24h15m 2nd labour 10h5m 3rd labour 6h10m

Oooooo you've just given me so much hope for mine!! I had 25 hr labour with emergency section with DD (OP baby), but looking at yours, I could have a much shorter one this time!!! Yay! Thanks!!!!!

 

[ZoMo]

Oh that picture of baby Liam is sooooo adorable. As I wont have any more scans I was secretly thinking about a private 3D scan to see what she looks like but we dont really have the money. Its great to look at little Liam and see that they actually do look like little babies and not aliens any more!!! Will just have to wait to meet mine to see her again!

Mrs J, congrats on team pink!!

Tweak - sorry the old cowbag got you this month, fingers crossed for next month xx

Dimples - happy birthday!! Sucks your man is abroad but I am sure that you will have a nice girlie birthday with your friends

Am feeling baby wriggling a lot more these days, usually only when I am trying to sleep! Getting worried about gestational diabetes, my brother is diabetic and I am finding that I am tired, drinking and peeing more. Problem being my first tri aversion to sweet foods has now gone full circle and now I crave them which isnt helping. Have got my diabetes test coming up but not til the end of November. Will mention it to my midwife next week. Has anyone on here had gestational diabetes before?

 

[WoodyA]

Good luck with your gtt zomo, you seem to be having it late??
Mine is mid november, Im quite concerned too as my sister was very borderline diabetic when carrying her first and I'm also peeing tonnes.

Hopefully neither of us will have to be medicated and if we do have it we can just control with diet! Insulin would not be my friend!

 

[dimplesmagee]

Thanks ladies for the birthday wishes! My hubby didn't even call me today He will probably tell me that he was working late and then went to dinner, and then was exhausted. And I will tell him he should've made time to call me on his wife's bday!
I also have had a headache now for about 4 hours. Joey thankfully is in a good mood tonight. Had velvetta and cheese for dinner.

Tweak...so sorry AF got you!

Steph good luck catching that Eggy!

Little bird...how are you doing? Have I missed any updates? When will you have a scan to check for multiples??? I'm so excited to hear!!!
