TTC and Beyond!

I'm going to be freaking 36-40 weeks pregnant through July and will possibly go a week or two into August. All of my mom's kids went over 40 weeks. It is going to be MISERABLE up here. It's usually 100F+ up here during that time. Ugh.
 
Waves- Smart thinking with him working that much! Oh and as for incision/vag lol mine was extra swollen on one side too and my scar ended up being completely normal on one side and half purple on the swollen side. It healed that way, I'll take a pic later if I can lol but I think it's normal for it not to be beautiful, as much as I wish it was. I really love how low it is but have had to completely change the undies/super low-rise pants I used to wear bc they dig in. Even a year later it's no better than it was a week or so after giving birth.

So do you think your supply is low or that the milk didn't come in yet? Do what works best for you & Leah, edward scissorhands nips does NOT sound good!!! Ouch!


It looks and feels so weird lol. Definitely wasn't not warned about that part! I think it's a supply issue. I know I could build my supply (I tried that with Hannah) but I'm just mentally and emotionally exhausted.
 
Hi im new today came off bc on 14th of this month and this is are first 2ww so awful lol symptoms or are the in my head :( x how is everyone else gettin on

Oh RR- Pregnancy and not being able to eat gluten SUCKS. Everyone told me when I had MS "eat crackers!!" I would have LOVED to eat saltines, but I couldn't. Everything I want is something I can't have. Stupid Celiac.
 
Britt-look for Slo-Fe. I was really anemic a few weeks ago and the doc told me to start taking that as a supplement. I take it with a stool softener bc I was uninterested in the constipation that was sure to ensue..

Ash-boo for stretchies, but it will be so worth it and they won't look so aggravated after the babe comes.

Mirolee- I can't believe it's already time to find out if you're pink or blue!! :) I'm going with blue-based purely on the fact that you didn't have MS and that seems to have been the trend with us girl carrying girls! So excited for you!

Waves-keep it up Hun! I can't even imagine how hard it must be the first few weeks! It's so good for little Leah, but poor momma! :(

Morgan- so exciteing about the contractions and the checking!! eeek!! And thanks for asking about the shower love! It was really an amazing day, we got everything on our buy buy baby registry, except the boobie pads I clearly have to go get! Lol. Seriously though, we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from our friends and family-Miss Kay is one lucky little girl!

Here's my 34 week bumpie! Two people told me today they think I look lower...I'm not sure I see it but who knows!!

Britt, tell me about it! Are you going to raise your kids g/f? I have to do research about it to see how it is passed genetically. I worry about having a baby with celiacs. so many baby products/crackers/food/ etc have gluten in it!

kara, your bump is too freakin cute!
 
When did you all tell your employers about your pregnancy? I know I've got some time but I'm still curious!
 
Yay hi Kara you look wonderful!! One more month girlie and it is OUR TIME!!! :)

Amanda- I have a huge mouth and told as soon as I tested lol... but I say 12 weeks is safe!
 
RR- No. Not unless they exhibit problems! I don't want to cut it out unless I have too! Living with Celiac is not fun. I don't know what the odds of her having it is, but I don't know that I want to choose to raise her that way. It's tough being so restricted! Maybe I should ask my doc about her chances of having it?

Also, I waiting until 12 weeks to tell my employer! We had our reviews RIGHT at the time I was due to tell them, so I waited until the end of my review and then told them. I told my direct coworker and she ran her mouth to several people. I still to this day don't know if my boss actually knew before I told her or not.

Thanks kara! I'll look for that tonight in my ventures out for Iron!
 
I told my bosses after our 12 week scan, mostly bc we waited until then to tell our parents with this pregnancy too!

You look adorable!!
 
How many of you have/ or are getting elective scans?? I'm really bothered by the fact that I won't see Harper until she's born. I still have 15 weeks left! However, I looked up the pricing for these and it's OUTRAGEOUS! (at least around here). I'd already have to drive over an hour to get to the facility and the lowest price I could find was $75 for 5-10 minutes and 3 freaking pictures!! I just don't know if I can justify this. Plus, you have to get a written note from your doctor that says it's "okay" to have them do the scan!

I just feel like maybe this is something that I should splurge on and spend the money on for my first pregnancy, but then I wonder if something will change and I will end up having one more sonogram. They always give me 3D pics. If i'm doing it I need to make the decision soon!
 
Cass- I had them on my hips before too and now just have those extra red spots at the top. it looks like something like dug its claws into me and scraped diagonally down my hips. they're not huge or anything but a bit annoying.

Colette- I actually heard bio oil is pretty good but my genetics suck for stretch marks so i'm really not sure anything will help much :?

I thought about it until I saw that it would be $140! Then I just decided I could wait. Fortunately I got a quick 3D look at my 24 week apt to kinda hold me over. 13.5 weeks to go!
 
Yeah.. i'm thinking I may just skip it. it's SO much money. I just went in for my 24 week appointment. When I asked the midwife if there would be another sonogram she very rudely said "no. not unless there is a problem"

bummer
 
Britt- I 110% recommend! We paid $200 for 2 scans and the 2nd one (even though they only say 10 mins) seemed to have lasted forever and we got to see what her precious lil face looks like! I would wait til after 31 weeks though, so that she is chubby enough lol. But ttly worth my money I thought! And we're not rolling in dough by any means! Seeing her face was so amazing. I look at the 3D pics all day at work. $100 was so worth knowing she has the cutest lips EVER lol!!
 
It just seems like for everyone else it's so cheap!! 3 pictures for $75 seems outrageous and it just goes up from there. A 15-20 minute session was $200! Not to mention the hour drive there, and back. I just don't know what to do!!
 
Mirolee you are awesome and I'm not classy trust me. I love learning about new cultures too.
Ashlee your belly is cute!
Afm it's so nice outside now but it is going to get muddy ick. I know I should o today but I'm nervous about it because I'm afraid my blood tests will have less then stellar results again.
