Crys - Yay, I'm glad you're not having such an early O month this month! I hope the B6 helps with your LP issue. I never found out if it lengthened mine because I got pregnant the cycle I started it! Here's hoping the same happens to you.
Sara - I'm glad you have all your bases covered!
Linny - No more spotting since the original incident, so no idea why it happened but hopefully it was just a weird fluke. I don't think I have thrush as I've had it before and don't have any other symptoms.
Sorry to hear about your bad foot swelling problem. Mine are getting puffy towards the end of the day every day now as well, but not as significantly as yours are. It's too bad you aren't able to keep them elevated a bit more at work, but I totally understand how that's not always practical! It's probably a good thing you're done work soon and you can keep your feet up a lot more.
That is good you found out more about the epidurals there. That is really too bad they won't do the walking epidurals there! I hope your next session about other forms of pain relief will be helpful to you!
That is also wonderful that your DF will finally be able to see your SS!
Alternated - Promising symptoms for 8 DPO! Sorry your dr isn't giving you the care you deserve. I'm surprised she wouldn't do a follow-up u/s to check for retained tissue. I hope the B6 works for helping your LP and I hope you can find a better dr soon.
Teacup - Birthing class went well. It was very informative and also very casual and non-stressful. Last week we learned about pre-labour and early labour and this week we will be learning about active labour and trying some different labour positions on the birthing ball.
So sorry about all your work-related stress. I can totally relate, although probably for different reasons, but work has been one of the main reasons I have been stressed about this pregnancy. I totally understand the anxiety episodes as well. I am an anxious person already and I have definitely had a lot of anxiety this pregnancy. Thankfully I don't think I've had any more panic attacks than usual but I definitely understand how they are and how awful it is to go through them. I hope you can find some relaxation techniques or something to lower your stress and anxiety levels. But try not to stress about how the stress will affect the baby. The truth is that life is stressful, and 99% of people are stressed during pregnancy. It's the intense, extreme stress like a family member dying or something that would be the type that *might* affect the baby/pregnancy, but even so you would still most likely have a perfectly healthy baby!
Sab - Sorry about your arguments with your DH. Stress is always hard on relationships. I really hope things settle down soon. I'm sure having your dad live with you isn't the most ideal situation, but I hope your dh gets used to it soon and everyone can live harmoniously.
Mrs W - Is AF still staying away??
AFM - I am working from home today because of fumes from glues and other solvents on top of the paint smell. It's getting SO stressful having a job where I am constantly exposed to chemicals but shouldn't be (I just work in an office)! Thankfully my supervisor was understanding and I may actually be working from home all week. It is getting to the point where I wonder if I should go on mat. leave early just to keep my baby safe.
