TTC and Beyond!

RR- exactly.. I thought i'd feel BETTER when I could feel the baby move, but now it's worse. When I feel her moving all the time, and then suddenly she's got a quiet day, I'm silently freaking a bit. It's always scary, no matter what stage you are!
 
I hear you guys! I had literally nothing wrong. Perfect healthy baby boy whose cord connection was jacked with no signs, and he's gone. I'm SO there.
 
I'll agree with that Britt! That's why I'd rather call my doc anytime I'm worried then risk something happening that I could have prevented. As soon as DW told her college friends we were expecting, one of them told her a story about her cousin who got preeclampsia and lost the baby not too long before she was due. So now I'm super paranoid about preeclampsia...
 
Me too Julie! Between high blood pressure and GD on top of it, I'm super nervous about it. I'm already considered high risk. No extra stress.. lol
 
i went to a party the other day and this woman told me how she had multiple miscarriages and finally had a baby that the drs told her was dying inside of her, so they took it out at 6 months. he lived in the NICU forever, and they finally diagnosed him with a super rare liver disease. he had to sleep naked under special blue lights in a tanning bed until he was 10, and then had a liver transplant. the transplant had complications and half of it died, so they pulled all the cords out of him and said, "we hope the other half works!" - and it did (luckily). and he's on immuno suppresent medicine now, and will need another transplant in about 10 years, so i guess a happy ending - but GEESH!!!! why do people that telling us these scary stories is in any way "relating" to us? she ended with "i'm sure this wont happen to you, it's SUPER rare, but can you believe it?" - her only redeeming grace was the two-three glasses of wine i saw her drink earlier.
 
oh, and today as i mentioned, my throat is dry scratchy, so i had a Halls cough drop with active ingredient menthol - immediately i was like, "Baby poisoned, great mothering skills Mirolee" (luckily google is split on this so i feel like 1 or 2 cough drops didnt make the difference, but there's always something to worry about.)
 
I know Mirolee! Crazy lady!

Ps Halls are on my "safe med list". Just saying!
 
yeah people on facebook keep posting all these horrible pregnancy things and it makes me want to punch them. In the past month, i've seen an article about a woman who was kept on life support to keep her infant alive, and an article where a woman had a stillborn at 19 weeks with a bunch of pictures. JEEEZ. WHY post this?? They are just horrible and sad. I kind of hate facebook.
 
I wish people were more positive when you tell them that you are pregnant! I would rather have just a "congrats!!" than "congrats, BUT, you should do this because i know someone who knows someone who had a baby die at 37 weeks" stay positive people, don't fill us with negativitiy!

I just got an email saying "your lab results are available to view online!" and got really excited thinking wow it took them NO TIME to get my betas. nope, just a CBC. nothing exciting. lame.
 
Omg mirolee what about menthol? Ive literally slathered myself in vicks vapour rub and I have been having menthol cough sweets. My nasal passages are so closed. I had a nasal spray and then read on nhs that you shouldn't. I'm scared now. I cant breath through my nose at all but dont know what to take?

Lovely bump pics girls :-)

Thats one of the reasons I originally deactivated fb. People post nasty things on it. I'm fed up of the awful animal posts.
 
Mirolee- Super cute little bump!

Julie- I don't know how you do it lol. I'm not even very big yet and I feel like things are so much harder already. DH and I eat at our coffee table a lot but now I'm to the point where I can't because leaning forward is just sooo uncomfortable so I sit on the floor and I dread bending over any time I drop something lol. So crazy that Olivia and Greyson could be here so soon!

Waves- Glad to hear that little Leah is starting to gain!

Britt- I've been getting more squirms than kicks too. This last weekend Lux was kicking a ton, now I'm getting a lot of squirming and some occasional kicks by my ribs. Hoping she decides to stay head down! Also, I know what you mean about the freaked out part, I just ran into a girl I used to go to school with and she was like " Not to freak you out but my sister almost just died giving birth" ummm okay, you don' tell that to a preggo lady! Apparently her sister's placenta was attached too deeply on the side of her uterus and when they tried to remove it she started hemorrhaging I guess. A rare thing to happen, but still, keep it to yourself!
 
I used otrivine sinusitis spray as the saline was doing nothing. Everything is a worry !

Yay for femara katrina.
 
Love the bump pictures ladies!
I'm excited about it I hope I don't need it though. But my Dr said they have had better luck with ladies with weak o and femara and a high chance of pregnancy. I'll try anything now. But I'm glad I od I wrenched my back feeding cows today and don't feel up to bd. She said they will do 24 day bloods instead of 21 next cycle so they can insure that I o and if am pregnant my progesterone levels are high enough to sustain pregnancy.
 
yay Katrina!! Its soooooo wonderful to hear that you're getting one step closer to have a baby! I hope you don't need the femara. Fingers crossed for a HSG baby this cycle :)
 
Yay Katrina! Sounds like a great plan :)

Azh, totally agree! Sorry if my story freaks you all out when I talk about it!
 
Lol Ashlee, I usually just eat on the couch now. I have to put my cup of water, my phone, and anything else I might need within reaching distance or it's horrible lol I hate dropping things too!
 
I used saline spray for my stuffy/runny nose when I was sick. Supposed to be fine.

Oh no Sandy! Don't worry about it! It's different when you're hearing it from the person that it happened to. But when it's someone that's never been pregnant and has no idea what it's like I just want them to shut their trap lol. Obviously we all know that things can go wrong, doesn't mean we want to be reminded!

Lol Julie I know what you mean, I scold DH if he moves my drink too far out of reach haha
 
Sandy-You are a different story, we already knew about your story and you're one of us. It's just funny that instead of saying congrats and asking questions, people automatically think of all the horrible stories they know and want to tell you all about them lol All the twin moms I talk to say that whenever people find out you have twins they all want to tell you about the twins they know. I guess it's kind of like that, but sad...lol
