TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

Wow mama talk about being organised, sounds like you have a few main things ticked off your list! I personally didn't buy anything with ds until I was over 20 weeks and I'm lucky its all sitting there in the loft in excellent condition just need to think about getting it down. You got any scans lined up mama/banana? Gonna find out the gender banana?

Hey Issac

I have nothing left from Ds he is 7 this week and we have moved house so many times etc.. since I have no idea where anything is except possibly the cot which I have to get DH to go up into Daddys attic to check. Plus we were young and broke when DS was born and borrowed most of the stuff from my cousin who had a baby the following year so gave it and more back to her! Everything else must have been lent to people over the years.

I don't mind. I know its costing money but I am really enjoying picking out and buying the stuff DS had nothing new and we were so young and daft everything is different this time, married, own house, grown bloody up! DH went off the rails after DS was born 7 years ago we broke up and everything was awful but everything is so different now we are so content, I can't wait for him to bring me to the hospital and drive me home etc...

Wedding this weekend and I'm splashing out hair, nails, make up all being done! I never normally would go to the beautician to get them done but spoiling myself this time as I'm not drinking and we're not staying over in the hotel or anything

I've a scan on 15th or 22nd April can't remember which one. We could but won't find out the gender, didn't with Ds I like the surprise, I understand people wanting to be organised but I love the suspense!!

Are you going to find out Mama?? Did you find out Issac, my head has holes in it lately can' t remember anything! Sorry!

 

[MamaMac123]

We will definitely be finding out I want to know and my mom is dying to know genders so she can go nuts spoiling them haha

My next doc apt is April 2 so hoping I get another scan that day. Not sure though. Doc has ultrasound in office so hoping its part of each visit.

 

[MamaMac123]

How is everyone doing? Quiet in here

Found out I don't get another scan at next visit boo!

Not sure when my next is. I can't wait. It's so scary right now when I can't feel the babies moving around. I have no idea if they are okay in there. My subconscious keeps running amock too and I keep having miscarriage dreams once or twice a week. Ugh hate that

Other than that blah though I'm doing well. Still no major morning sickness, just super extreme exhaustion. I'm starving all the time and have to pee all the time haha.

How is everyone else!?!

 

[ooSweetPea]

Glad to read all is well mama - sucks about the scan, but just trust everything is ok. So much went wrong with my first pregnancy with DS and because of that experience I spent my second pregnancy in a state of terror, which I really regret. Just relax and enjoy, and savor every day easier said than done, I know!!

 

[Shey]

I have a question for u lovely ladies, have any of y'all ever felt dizzy a couple hrs after sex?

 

[HappyCpl]

Shey, I don't have any experience with this. I'm sorry.

Mama, I'm sorry you don't get another scan. It won't be long until you start feeling your little babies squirming in there.

How is everyone feeling? Props to you banana for waiting to find out the sex of our baby. I just couldn't do it myself! Lol.

AFM, I'm feeling really really pregnant. Lol. My back feels like its being ripped apart. We have a growth scan tomorrow to check we size and fluid levels. Also checking my group B strep status and checking my cervix. Not looking forward to those... Haha. Just a few more weeks. I keep dreaming she is coming early and I just "feel" like I'm going to go into labor soon. I can't describe it... I just feel it in every part of my body. I hope that makes sense.

 

[MamaMac123]

Happy I'm soooo excited for you!!!! I can't wait to see a pic of your new little one!!! good luck with your doc visit and all the tests! Keep us posted!!!

Afm - 9 weeks today! Babies are green olive sized and are now officially fetuses!
Still not having much morning sickness but totally exhausted and hungry all the time! Literally! I eat like very half hour and I'm down a pound from my starting weight! Crazy! Hopefully that means my babes are growing healthy and strong in there!

Been having some weird pregnancy dreams too. Last night I dreamt I was at the end of the pregnancy and we could take the babies out one at a time to check on them for a few minutes. We had or baby out (a girl) and my husband was holding her. So weird but so awesome too! I was sad I woke up before getting to see the other baby. I always know it's twins in my dreams but I only ever see one of them. Very weird. It's always a girl too. I think I always see my girl and my boy is shy haha or maybe it's bother girls and I've seem them both but never together haha. Can't wait to find out genders! Couple more months to go for that!

Banana & Isaac, how are you and your babes doing??

 

[Hann12]

I haven't been on bnb in ages - for some reason the notifications stopped but anyway just found this again and I am so happy to hear that everyone's pregnant!! What amazing news! I am smiling loads for all of you - you all really deserve it!
Hope you all have happy and healthy times!

 

[HappyCpl]

Mama, gotta love those pregnancy dreams. I can only imagine what it feels like to be pregnant with 2! Lol. It sounds like you have increases your metabolism by eating small meals often. Not to mention, your body is using the extra fuel now. Keep up the good work. I'm glad your nausea isn't too bad. Hopefully it will stay that way.

With this pregnancy I've dreamed several times I could take her out and look at her only I quickly put her back in. Lol.

 

[HappyCpl]

Hann, it's good to hear from you. Hope your family is well.

 

[MamaMac123]

Hann - it's so good to hear from you! Hope you guys are all well!

Happy - glad I'm not the only one! Haha I seem to recall heading about similar dreams like that before. Maybe it's a really coon pregnancy dream.

 

[MamaMac123]

Just found this online. Apparently the dream is one of the most common in pregnancy:

https://www.parents.com/pregnancy/my-life/sleep/common-pregnancy-dreams/

3. Taking the baby out of your uterus, then putting it back. Every mom worries about the health of her baby. This dream is most likely a reflection of the desire to see firsthand that the baby is developing normally. After checking to see that all is well, the baby goes back to the uterus to continue growing. Grill says that in their research, this dream was most common among women who had already suffered a pregnancy loss, or who had a high-risk pregnancy. Another possible meaning: the woman is seeing who the baby is, her way of answering "Will I love this baby?"

 

[HappyCpl]

Wow! That is crazy but def explains the meaning behind the dreams

I also always dream of fish and/or water when I'm pregnant. Lol

 

[HappyCpl]

Our little one is looking great. She is weighing in at 6lbs 1 oz and measuring right on target. She is in the "average" category which I'm good with. She loves sucking on her hands so I hope this means she will be a good breast baby. Our csection is scheduled for 4/22, but my BP is starting to go up. They are keeping an eye on that for now but may decide to take her a week earlier. We will see.

Here is the last photo of her before we get to meet our little beauty.

 

[HappyCpl]

Lets try the pic again... Haha

 

[MamaMac123]

Lets try the pic again... Haha

Awwww baby!!!! So much fun! You're almost done! So exciting! good luck with the bp stuff

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey han long time hun! How are you? Yeah finally we all managed to get pregnant one way or another. I had treatment iui in the end at the 2 year mark worked first time thankfully. We lost a baby though twin b at 9 weeks which was very sad! Al most 24 weeks now.
Cutie pic happy she looks fantastic and those cheeks are amazing x
Mama- can't believe they haven't scanned you again! When is your next scan scheduled?

 

[MamaMac123]

I have no idea and it's making me nuts! I see my doc on Monday but no scan that day. I see the midwife Tues so hopefully will know more then.

 

[IsaacRalph]

It would've driven me insane! I know it did from 7-12 weeks and that's only 5 weeks you must ne pulling your hair out. I'm sure they're both doing just fine, you'll be amazed!
