TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

That sounds fun Katrina. We may go Saturday, or we may sleep in. I'm pooped! Lol.

Okay, mini rant here...my cousin, te pregnant one, had been living at my moms for a couple months because she and her mom any live together without fighting constantly. Well, there's a Eason for it because she's friggin bipolar and any live with anyone. Anyway she's basically started this huge family feud so now my mom and sit we aren't speaking to my aunt, cousin or grandma. So I've even trying to stay out of it ven though I take my mom and sisters side because my cousin called my sister insecure, fat and ghetto on top of a lot of other things and then threw her miscarriage in her face and has been completely disrespectful to my mom. Well, my grandma and aunt proceeded to go and like te picture of my cousin at my baby shower and not like a SINGLE picture of me...AT MY BABY SHOWER! They all know how I felt about my cousin stealing my boy name then how I felt about her getting pregnant so close to me. And try have the nerve to go and ignore all pictures of me and like the one of her. Am I blowing this way out of proportion? It just seems intentiionally rude to me. Anyway I deleted the picture because it honestly just pisses me off. That's one day that should have been about me and they're using it in their stupid family squabble

Sandy have you tried eBay? They sometimes have some good ones.
I can inject in my stomach but don't feel comfortable doing that. I'm ok anyway, they look bad but they aren't that bad

Katrina I've never been mushroom picking! Sounds fun. We got fruit picking with Tristan in summer which he loves!

Sorry about your family, I hate feuds!

 

[frsttimemama]

Ash, that's crazy. I'd probably be ticked, too!

BB, I just wondered.

I would call last night a fairly sleepless night. Ugh. Probably because hubby was gone. I'm beat. Just gotta get through work, being on call (praying everyone comes in!), and then at 8 am tomorrow, it will be the weekend.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Oh yeah Ash. That would really piss me off!!!

afm- OB appointment this morning. Hoping everything is good and the appointment is uneventful. The last couple have not been so, and i'd really like to get to work on time! LOL

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sandy sorry you had a restless night, Yayyyy for the weekend!

Britt that's great news

 

[frsttimemama]

Fx Britt! I'm sure everything will be good!

I just could not get comfortable. I wanted to sleep on my back, but obviously I can't anymore. I tried pillows in various places.

21 weeks! 3 weeks til V-Day and 18 (or less!) til we get to meet this little guy!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Appointment well well! I got my wish and was done so early, I came back home! BP was good, and no protein in my urine. She is still head down.. yay!

Now they said when I come in next time (5/30) they are doing the Strep B test and they could "check my cervix if I wanted them to" part of me thinks "Is there really a reason to be checking yet?" I don't want to get excited about stuff for no reason if something "appears" to be doing something and then walk around for weeks slightly dilated. I dunno. Part of me thinks I should wait another week or so.

What did you ladies do? What do you think?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ugh Ashlee how annoying
Britt I think it's up to you
Afm I'm so sleepy, I just want to lay in bed all day. But my neighbor has a garage sale and they started at 7 am.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Britt they started checking me at 28 weeks

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Really, Rachel?? That's crazy. I'm just not a fan of them being in that area until I have a reason for them to be.. If it's optional, I certainly might tell them, lets wait a week or so. I'm not even full term at 36 weeks, so why are they even concerned with checking? I'm just thinking that i'll already be naked down there from the Strep B test, he might do with without asking. LOL. I mean, i'm not going to be really upset about it, I'd just rather not, if they are honestly giving me a choice.

 

[frsttimemama]

Britt, they started checkung me around then. It wasn't a choice type thing. Lol. Maybe they just want to know. Preterm labor worries maybe? Do what feels comfortable for you though.



Katrina, your chart looks awesome! ! Fx!!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I dunno. My mom is acting like i'm ridiculous. She was like "if they think that is what's best, why wouldn't you do it!?" She always makes me feel stupid. I just don't know WHY they are doing them. I guess if I asked, it might make me feel better. I mean, when you go into labor, you go into labor. Why the need to check every week? ( i'm really not trying to sound difficult, I just dont see the advantage to doing it)

 

[frsttimemama]

If that's your preference, I understand that. I see what you're saying. If you want to wait, then wait. I prefer to know just because I am like crazy ocd planner. But it's your body and baby.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Britt they don't check it in the UK until your in labour. I can't understand why they need to prodding and poking around in there before then. I personally would decline.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Britt. I agree. No point proding around. It just irritates things. I'm so pleased we get left alone here. I dont see the point of checking all the time. You have enough of people prodding when in labour.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I think as long as your healthy not worried about early labor etc. Dont worry about doing it.
My temps aren't as high as last cycle so maybe my progesterone level isn't as high.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Britt - I can see checking if there is a risk for preterm labor. Or if you are having lots of BH to make sure there are no cervix changes. If you are dilating early or effacing it may warrant bed rest. My doc checked at 28 and 32 then I went into labor. I imagine they will be checking frequently with my next pregnancy.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Katrina- I think after O, temp is pretty irrelevant. If you're preg it stays above cover, if not it drops with AF. I don't think the actual temp means anything, people try to decipher possible implantation dips etc and it just drives themselves bonkers. You know you O'd and had gret timing and that's what counts!! Fxd for you!!

Britt- I get why people don't want to be poked unnecessarily. I was the opposite though lol, I kept asking them to check and they said no-i wanted to see if all my walking/dates/pineapple/epo was doing anything LOL! My office doesn't check until 39 weeks-so I never made it to a check but was 2cm when I went into labor!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Katrina I think your chart looks awesome. When are you going to test? Ps - tiredness was my first symptom...
