TTC and Beyond!

[jury3]

Nikki-Good job losing the weight so quickly! I bet that feels great

Waves-Sorry the baby shower is stressing you out. I was stressed about ours and I wasn't even planning it...We did have to text, fb and email people who we hadn't heard from. That's pretty annoying.

Sandy-YAY!!!! How many dpo are you? My FRER didn't look that dark at 12dpo! And, my hcg was 164 at 14dpo...so you are good girl! Lines are getting nice and dark quickly and your numbers are going up. I'm so excited for you!
My ms started off and on after 5 weeks and by 6 weeks was pretty much everyday. My 7 weeks I felt horrible everyday until around 17 or 18 weeks.

Britt-I still have random days where I just don't feel good. Sometimes it's nausea, sometimes it's just being extremely tired and/or being sore.

Mirolee-Woo! When are you going to post another bump pic for us??? I have to say, I love maternity jeans. So much more comfortable.

Rachel-Yay for a good scan! Glad all is looking good Are they changing your due date or keeping it? My doc hasn't changed mine at all, so I'm just curious when docs decide to do that...

Cassidy-I didn't have to show anything for my scan...

Ahh what a good news day on here. Lots of babas growing yay.

Morgan I was told to avoid raspberry tea until my last trimester . Not sure if I was just given wrong advice though ?

Ahh britt sickness is horrid. I was sick from 5 wks all the way through but I felt hungry and full when I was about 20 or so weeks . As soon as I ate I felt stuffed.

Cass I cant believe you dont get a routine 12 week scan ? Thats so mean !!! Shame you arent here as one of my close friends is a sonographer . I totally would have got you a freebee.
News here is I can def feel the clomid working. My right ovary feels huge. Hoping thats a good sign and that ill ovulate soon.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Yes mirolee we need to see bump pics.

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks. I called people out in a FB post last night and it got me a few more responses so there's that lol. My friend who is the technical host is going to see what she can do to help with food and such. They're just in a bad place right now because her husband works at a steel factory but they're in a shutdown for 4-8 weeks, unpaid, and his unemployment was denied because he wasn't with the company long enough before the shut down. They have no idea when he gets to return to work so they're living off savings (although my friend just got a part-time job yesterday to help) and can't afford to do too much right now. But hopefully it'll all work out.

They recommend avoiding it until 32 weeks because it can cause contractions but many people take it (in tea form usually) well before the 32 week mark.

Congrats sandy...def preggo

Waves- Thanks for the advice.. yeah we've got a GetGo fuelperks card, ttly Giant eagle people lol.. stopping by on the way home from work actually for some dinner stuff so I'll check for the RLT capsules. Did EPO or anything else help you go early with your girls? Lookin for ANYTHING here... besides castor oil lol.

 

[morganwhite7]

OMG doc just called said I need to go to L&D immediately since I was spotting yesterday. I called lastnight (it was just a bit of red blood, she's been kicking up a storm ever since) and left a message like they told me to if I EVER saw any more blood. She said they need to make sure nothing ruptured inside and based on my issues this pregnancy it could mean something serious.. urgh now I've got to leave work and I feel nervous even though I'm sure all is well.

Hmmpph, at least I get to have a peek at Marley today...

 

[TTCaWee1]

Oh no Morgan! I hope all is ok!

Keep us posted!

 

[wavescrash]

32 weeks means bump picture plus a comparison from last week because we definitely had a growth spurt over here. And then a collage comparison of every other week starting at 4 weeks (minus week 8 because I didn't take one that week.)

ok i will post a pic but some disclaimers: 1) i dont take good pictures; 2) my room is apparently very yellow; 3) there is not a huge difference, even though OH and i can see/feel a big difference; 4) waves how do you post so many pics? i can barely figure out how to do one!
it will take me a minute or two (or an hour). please hold

Love Giant Eagle I don't know how yours is set up but I saw it over by the Organic foods with the vitamins over there but I'm pretty sure it's with all the other vitamins by the pharmacy too. That's where it is at Target, with all the vitamins. I had to get EPO from The Vitamin Shoppe though. Never saw it at a regular store.

Both my girls came 10-13 days early but I think it's in part due to my size and the fact that my body just can't handle carrying them much longer lol. But I totally think EPO helped. I did a LOT of walking, a LOT of bouncing on my exercise ball, some jumping jacks though I don't recommend that... I was desperate, tried Castor Oil but only wound up on the toilet for a day and would never try it again and of course DTD every day, sometimes twice a day. With Hannah though, I had a sweep done on a Tuesday (because my OB didn't think they actually work so did it only to make me happy), lost some plug and cramped, Wednesday had contractions and went to L&D but they weren't changing my cervix (I was 2cm when I had the sweep done & went to L&D), walked a lot Thursday, bounced on my ball a lot, DTD and my water started slowly leaking and then I had her on Friday.

With Autumn, lots of walking over the weekend, shower for nipple stimulation, DTD once and as soon as we finished, I had my first real contraction and went to the hospital to have her later that day lol.

So honestly I say walking, bouncing on an exercise ball, DTD, RLL & EPO. Most natural ways to get it done Good luck when that time comes mama.

And most definitely good luck at L&D today Hope it's nothing but glad they're being safe!

What do you mean? I upload all my pictures from the website and not through my phone... if that makes a difference. You can attach up to 5 pictures on the website using the paperclip icon up top.

OR you can upload them to an external photo hosting website (I use photobucket) and insert them directly into your post using the IMG code -- [*img]URL OF PICTURE HERE[*/URL] - Just take out the *'s.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Morgan hope your both ok

I went into labour a week early and had him 5 days early. RLT certainly never helped my labour!

I did LOTS of walking and bouncing on my ball.

 

[HWPG]

the problem for me is not the attaching them part, it's the "they are always too big part" - how do you get the right size?

 

[wavescrash]

I resize them in Photoshop. If you upload them somewhere like Photobucket or even Tinypic, you can use the IMG code and it won't matter what size they are.

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies! I'm so nervous but excited. Hoping for a smooth and MS free pregnancy again this time.

Julie, I am 12 dpo today. AF is due tomorrow. Eek!

Morgan, praying for you! Keep us posted!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Hope alls ok morgan xxx

 

[Ingodshand]

Lookin good Waves!! You definitely had a growth spurt!

Morgan- Will be praying everything is okay with little Marley!!!

Mirolee- You can try to crop the pics and that has helped me in the past be able to upload them.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I hope all is okay Morgan.
