TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Cassidy, I hope you guys get answers soon!

Morgan, i plan to try to start walking when the ice and snow melts. I hear you though. I am SO tired! All the time.

My mom is buying baby stuff. Lots of it. I sound ungrateful, but I'm not. It's just driving me crazy! I told her to wait. I'm only almost 6 weeks. Geesh. We only need clothes.That's it. And maybe blankets and such if this is a girl. What if something happens? I have told her and told her. All i can do is let her but it's ticking me off. I think I'm just extra bitchy because I don't feel the greatest today.

Cassidy- So sorry that you all are still waiting for answers. I hope the new doctor can help!

Morgan- I am really not doing anything even though I know that I should be at least walking. But like everyone else I am just so tired all the time! I have just been trying to stay away from sweets even though that is all I want to eat lately and I eat way too many carbs. I feel like the scale just keeps creeping up, but at least I know it is the baby growing too since I am in the middle of a big baby growth spurt right now.

AFM- I feel so bad that I have absolutely no patience with my daughter and i think that I am getting sick again. Just so tired of having a headache and being sick. Can spring please get here!!!!

K, done complaining

i'm still spinning, and would like to continue that (forever). also, OH makes me go on walks at least once/weekend, which i think will continue or even increase as it gets warmer and lighter.
i'm feeling pretty good today, look cute. i'm wearing this legging/skirt combo thing my mom got me with a pink hoodie lightweight sweater thing. the down side is i look "thin" - boo. me want bump. and you all know - when *you* can tell a difference in your body, you kind of want other people to notice it also. today i just look like i had a huge breakfast hm, speaking of which, i'm hungry again.....

I joined the gym and have been going and walking on the treadmill. I do anywhere from 40-50 minutes at 3MPH and usually on a slight incline. Doesn't feel like i'm doing much, but at least i'm staying active and moving.

Ugh so sorry, can you reschedule?

 

[clynn11]

So ridiculous we've been waiting 3 weeks for this appt. They call us an hour before he's supposed to go in and says he cabt be seen because he's not a member of their facility and needs to become one beforw they will see him. Ummm maybe you should of told us that when we called weeks ago making an appt. For a new patient. Sooo frustrating!!×

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Wow Cass, that is soooo annoying. It's like maybe they should let you know WHEN YOU MAKE THE APPT!!! I also find that receptionists at doctor's offices are generally very rude in my experience...(I'm really sorry if anyone one here has that job..If so I would not categorize any of you as rude lol)

I hope they can squeeze him in quickly so you don't have to wait too long

 

[wavescrash]

Ugh that's ridiculous, sorry Cassidy Hope he can get in sometime soon.


AFM - 34 week OB appointment in 3 hours.

 

[morganwhite7]

^FX'd she's engaged!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks Morgan! I hope so. If for nothing more than to explain the pains and everything I've been feeling lately lol.

I was going through my journal from my last pregnancy. I had my first internal exam at 35 weeks (closed/far back) and then another at 36w when I was 1cm 50% effaced. The only reason I got the internal at 36w (I saw someone other than my regular OB so she wasn't going to do one) was because I was having lots of pressure and rectal pressure. I've had lots of cervical pain/pressure and intermittent rectal pressure so I'm wondering if my new OB would do an internal if I mentioned that lol.

I wonder if having babies early is genetic or something like that. My mom had me 2 weeks early, she had both of my siblings 1 month early, Autumn was 10 days early & Hannah was 13 days early. So naturally I'm curious if that means Leah will be early as well, especially since this is my 3rd baby and each pregnancy has been harder on my body, you know?

I'm also going to ask about a growth scan because one of the OBs I saw in the office like 6 weeks ago said something about getting one done.

 

[brunettebimbo]

It's so interesting reading about your appointments etc. It's so much different here. They won't go anywhere nearly you internally until your in labour in the UK!

I think it has to have some sort of pattern, my Mum and my Sister both had their babies early, nothing major, always full term but never past due date. I was 5 days early with Tristan too.

 

[frsttimemama]

Ugh! Cassidy that's so frustrating! Hope he gets in soon!

Waves, good luck!

Bb, I knew it was different, but that's crazy! I like knowing what's going on in there!

Afm, I feel like a cow today.. and i know that I have not even begun! Lol. It's a too early to 'show" but definitely feeling like a cow for some reason! I joked with hubby about feeling that way because of twins.. lol. I need to eat healthier and get to walking. Snow and ice go away! I think we are supposed to have another 6" by Monday. Ugh! I am anxious about my appointment Tuesday, too. Just needs to hurry up!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks! Leaving shortly for my appointment so we shall see. I feel like my OB doesn't like me so she likely won't do any sort of exam lol.

I really went into this pregnancy expecting I would probably gain a lot. Between being extremely nauseous for the first 17 weeks, eating healthier and then not having much of an appetite (I assume bc the babies are taking up so much room or still from hormones), I just haven't really gained. I'm sure if I had started out at a healthier weight, then I would have gained more by now. However, I had at least 60lbs I could lose before getting pregnant so I am positive I have lost some of that while the babies have gained. They are right on track and actually a little ahead on growth, so I know they are getting what they need. I haven't worked out the entire pregnancy either. I still have a few months to go though, I could totally gain a bunch of weight between now and then!

Ashlee-So glad you haven't been throwing up! Mine transitioned from extreme nausea to a horrible gag reflex and has now finally gone away for the most part. I have random days of slight nausea, but nothing like it was! I hope it stays away for you!

Cassidy-I'm so sorry they still haven't figured out what's wrong with him. I cannot believe they waited until right before his apt to cancel like that! They should have done that when you first set up the apt! You guys cannot catch a break!

Kara-That is so sucky about the 3 hour test. I hope you only have to drink it once!

I signed up for my std through my employer before we started trying to get pregnant so it would be in place. They would have paid the 50 or 60% for however long my doc said I needed to be out (6 weeks for vaginal, 8 weeks for c-section). I'm so glad now that I had that in place or else I wouldn't have any money right now until after 90 days when my ltd kicks in.
I would love to quit teaching and do something part time so I could be home more, but we'll have to see what we can manage financially. If I go back to teaching at least I won't be with the wicked witch anymore and I most likely won't be in the same position I was in this year, I will be moved to something I actually want to do. So at least I have that to look forward to! I just know it's going to be hard leaving those babies....

 

[asmcsm]

Ugh Cassidy I would be PISSED! Definitely something they should have told you when you booked the appointment 3 weeks ago!

Lol yea about that...I think I jinxed myself cuz I threw up this morning while brushing my teeth lol. i was a little nauseous but not like horrible but then my gag reflex was REALLY bad

 

[jury3]

Also wanted to tell you girls, I have been using the Burt's Bees lotion below and my belly is so soft! It doesn't leave me greasy and it smells good too. We bought some coconut oil but I haven't tried it out yet, DW has been using it to cook. Anyway, thought I'd suggest it.

Lol Yeah, the only time I threw up was once when brushing my teeth and I gagged. Really I'm not sure it counted at throwing up bc there wasn't anything to throw up lol Brushing my teeth was the worst during the bad gag reflex phase! Hopefully it passes quickly for you!

 

[wavescrash]

Not to be a party pooper but just you wait til nausea kicks back in toward the end
