when the "30 yo ttc#1" ladies get their bfp's

[SoonToBePreg]

Guess who gets to come over here now!!!!! Wooooohooooo! I totally tested my trigger out and peed on two sticks this morning! Is this real life!? I can't stop crying!

Congratulations JCM.

 

[MrsKChicago]

So exciting, JCM. When do you go back in and find out how many are in there?

MGreenM, hope you're feeling ok! I know a lot of women get fed up in the final stretch.

 

[curiousowl]

Hugs JCM! So glad to see you here. So glad to not be the newest member also Get ready, this is only the beginning. I feel like death most days right now. Completely worth it of course. But still.

 

[lsd2721]

Yes, JCM, get ready for all sorts of things your body will be doing!! But yes, be ready to take lots Colace! So excited to see you here!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Are there any special Colace rules? I bought a bag of prunes and it seems to be helping, when I remember to eat them, but I'm sure I'll reach a point where I need something a little more serious, or I just get tired of prunes every day I forgot my prunes for a couple days, then got back into my routine and added in spicy food, and my bump is about half the size it was a couple days ago

 

[MgreenM]

yay JCM! so exciting!

I actually slept REALLY well last night and have felt good all day. I am tired, but I am tired because I have been working all day. I am definitely ready...been feeling a couple of contractions tonight but nothing major and certainly no pattern/consistency.

 

[PDReggie]

M I'm so excited for you!!!! Come on baby! Also glad you had a good day.

My doctor basically said 1-2 colace a day. If it gets too loose then stop taking it. Basically, she said this won't make you go, if just helps keep everything moving through your system. I took it at the beginning then stopped for a few months and have had to start again last week.

 

[JCM]

I have a super sore throat all day and guess what? I pooped! Never thought I'd be so thrilled about that! Thanks everyone! Excited to be here! My beta moved to Wednesday and then another on Friday and thennnn I should be able to see at 6 weeks if there are two sacs with heartbeats or one! Please please not three!

I'm so glad I got to jump over before the first baby arrives! You two are so close! Hope everything is going well over there, M!

 

[SoonToBePreg]

I've never heard of colace before. Then again, my problem this pregnancy has been that I poop once a day (sometimes more). And when it hits that I have to go, I have to do it right there and then...have 1 min or 2 to make it to the bathroom. Not fun...oh the joys of pregnancy.

M, or PD...are you guys gonna start doing old wives tales stuff to bring about labor? Like bouncing on a ball, spicy food, DTD, castor oil, etc? Lots of ladies in the third trimester page seem to wanna have their babies somewhere between 37-39. I personally wouldn't mind making it to 40 and having the extra time to continue getting ready. How about you guys?

 

[MgreenM]

Whenever she comes, she comes! I just got home from my weekly appointment. 2-3cm and a very soft cervix that is very favorable. The doctor was pushing on the baby's head and told me it was the head, but it was painful to me! This week's check was easier than last week's...but still painful. While I was walking the dog just a bit ago, I felt a lot of tightening in my lower uterus. 3 more days of work!I am exhausted and the doctor was running late. DH is bringing home dinner. Probably some sort of fast food, I have no idea what he is going to bring otherwise though.

 

[PDReggie]

M Good luck! That all sounds very promising.

Soon, I have an exercise ball that I sit on but that is actually for comfort not to try and get the baby here. At this point standing too long or sitting too long is really uncomfortable. The ball is helpful because it takes pressure off. Other than that, I'm actually ok with her being closer to due date. My husband is hoping she is 2 days early because that would be the day before my birthday and his birthday was the day before his mom's. My bosses are just keeping fingers crossed that I wait until the 8th of October because that is when the other girl on maternity leave comes back. Just not this week is my goal as DH's grandfather passed away and the rest of this week is calling hours and funeral. Pretty sure going into labor at a funeral would be in bad taste. But if I hit 40 weeks and still nothing, then it is on

 

[lsd2721]

So, question for you ladies. Over the weekend I got in a small fender bender. I was sitting in the backseat of a truck. We were following a car in front of us. The car in front was about to go, so the truck started to go, but the car stopped suddenly and the truck, going about 5 no more than 10 miles an hour, didn't realize and hit the car in front. It wasn't a hard hit. I, however, got side tracked when we got in the car and didn't put my seat belt. So, I am just a bit nervous. Everyone seems to think I am okay. No bleeding, I didn't feel different or weird. Everything was normal. I am just a bit of a worry wart. I am just so mad because I ALWAYS put my seat belt on!

The people I have chatted with said don't worry. No need to call the doctor. Even husband says this (who hates when I take Colace to get my constipation moving even though it's been approved by my doctor). What do y'all think?!

BTW, I'm officially in second trimester! I'm lemon today! wahooo!

 

[MrsKChicago]

PD, I'm sorry about your husband's grandfather. I think my family would love someone going into labor at a funeral - new life and all that - but it would depend on the funeral. I'm guessing you have plenty of time, though.

Welcome to the second trimester, lsd!! I'm sure everything is fine, sounds like a very light impact and baby is well padded. I'd probably call my midwife just for reassurance, but I'm a worrier. And wear your seatbelt! (I'm practicing my mom look over here)

 

[lsd2721]

I KNOW! How horrible of me, right?! I'm usually the one pointing my finger at others for not putting on seatbelt. I think that is what upsets me the most. What kind of mother will I be if I can't put my seatbelt on during the most crucial time!

PD, MgreenM, y'all are soooo close! I hope we get to see some pictures!!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Well, we all make mistakes. I can't judge you too hard when I'm over here eating salami for dinner And I bet you don't forget again!

DH keeps driving out of the garage while I'm still working on getting settled in and putting my belt on, and I just know we're going to get rammed by some asshole speeding down the alley some day when I'm not belted yet

Sorry about the funeral, hopefully your DH is doing ok. I agree about the ball, I finally sat on one during my birthing class last week and OMG it was so comfy. I couldn't believe that I hadn't owned one up until that point. My DH will be getting me one soon hopefully.

lsd, probably not a big deal, but I would check with your midwife anyways...at least for your piece of mind if not for anything else.

 

[PDReggie]

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I am sad because he was a pretty cool guy and I really enjoyed him. But he was also 92. I guess at that point one has to be prepared for such things.

Isd, I would just call and ask my dr. or midwife. I doubt there is any problem but I would also freak out until they told me I was fine. Also, congrats on being a lemon!!! And wear your seatbelt. But I won't chastise you too much as I took mine off the other day while doing 70 on the freeway to take off my sweater because I was sweating like a pig and couldn't breathe. Sometimes, we do bad things.

Currently, baby seems to think there is not enough room for her head and hand in my hip bones. She feels like she is pushing her head one way and her hands the other trying to stretch an area that does not stretch.

 

[JCM]

So sorry to hear about your grandpa in law! I hope everything goes smoothly!

I'm with everyone else, lsd. If it makes you relax give them a call and see if they are concerned enough to have you do anything special.

My beta is 84! I'm 9 days post my 5 day transfer. Which is like 14dpo in "real life". Haha I'm so glad I'm done with ivf!!!! Of course happy to be pregnant but really really happy I don't have to do another round! So, I have an appt tomorrow to check things out in there with my RE. More blood tests on Friday and then I'll get to see the heartbeat/sac in 2 weeks! Hooray!

 

[ladders]

That's amazing Jcm you don't know how bloody pleased I am for you!!!!!!

 

[curiousowl]

That's great JCM! I was 69 at 14dpo so you're doing well.
