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

[PDReggie]

Soon, it appears that my placenta is anterior also. I had felt movement inside but no real kicks up until about two weeks ago. Then I started feeling kicks occasionally. In probably the last week or so is when they have started to get more frequent. Now, I get them enough that dh can feel them at least once a day. I have been mostly good. No yoga, sex or strenuous exercise. But I'm a criminal attorney and on my feet a lot in court. Luckily, I have no symptoms of the placenta previa. So just hope it goes away. I just realized that i am exactly two weeks ahead. How funny.

M, glad to hear that you have started to feel a little better. My Dr hasn't mentioned any growth scans. But she is very mellow and doesn't really seem concerned until "it's necessary" as she puts it. Who knows what next week will bring.

We still don't have even a short list for names and haven't touched what will be the nursery. Nor have I bought any clothes or anything. I think even with my getting big belly and hearing the heartbeat once a month, that I have this disconnect in my brain that we are actually having a baby? It makes me feel like a horrible person. Hoping that's the hormones and fear. What have you guys done or decided so far?

We get to find out if the baby is a he or she on July 11th at 21 weeks. So far the baby is doing great but I have consistent low blood pressure which causes me to get super dizzy and I have came close to passing out a few times.
Mgreen I hate this heat with you. I live in the south and work outside in a nursery and now understand why pregnant women were always complaining about being hot

We have picked a theme for the nursery, asked a friend to paint a mural/quote. We picked out a base color paint but need to paint it. The dresser/changer is put together. The crib is not put together yet because it came damaged so we had to send it back and get another one. Other than that, we have only put stuff on the registry. We really haven't bought anything. My thought is to see what people give us and then buy whatever we need right before/after the baby is born.

Another team pink that's great, if you look at the Chinese gender chart if you conceive at 30 your pretty much guaranteed a girl. Since your all team pink so far maybe there's something in it!

Mgreen, good to hear you are feeling better after 1 week of taking the medication. I haven't heard of growth scans either. How intrusive are they? Are they additional ultrasounds?

PD, we haven't done anything yet. No names, crib, clothes etc. I was waiting to find out the gender so hopefully now, ill pick it up on the planning. I think the disconnect is natural, especially with the first child. It's hard with the first to actually imagine having a kid. In a few months our lives will change, and we can't start to fathom how much.

Ladders, great seeing you. How have you been?

So glad your back Ladders

Thanks guys, I'm doing okay fingers crossed, really tired and feeling sicky but its quite reassuring after my miscarriage because I didn't have that then, I'm also past the point I got to before so feeling a tiny bit more confident, just didn't want to come back on this thread too soon and jinx it

 

[ladders]

Meljenn when's your due date so I can add you to the front page?

 

[PDReggie]

Mel that's exciting. It's my best friend's birthday so I will totally remember that you owe us an update that day! I'm glad to see you back ladders. I understand why you wanted to wait though. I was nervous the first trimester so I can't imagine how you are doing. I'm so excited for you and glad that you are doing well. I'm even glad you are a little sick.
Sorry, just got back from 4 1/2 hours in court so my mind is completely frazzled. Glad to see more people on this thread. I can't wait for us all to start having some babies!

November 24th!
There are so many girls now I wonder if I am growing a boy. My family and friends say girl but everyone at work says boy

Ladders, great seeing you. How have you been?

yup, a growth scan is just another ultrasound. Not quite as detailed as the anatomy scan.

ladders: glad you are feeling more confident! but it sucks feeling so tired and icky!

So, I guess I just made my Facebook announcement...lol! I never really felt the need to do a big announcement on Facebook. I just told the close family and friends. Well, we are going to paint the baby's room tomorrow so I posted to invite people to come help. Totally didn't think about how there are so many people (especially on Facebook) that didn't know! LOL!

I got 2 clear BFPs this morning, so I'm just dipping my toes in over here. It's early days, so here's hoping everything goes smoothly. It's so hard not to tell everybody!

 

[ladders]

Whoop whoop Mrsk, how many days post o are you?

 

[MrsKChicago]

Ten. Maybe eleven, but probably ten. Got a stark negative at 8dpo, so I was shocked to see two clear positives today. I expected maybe a squinter if anything.

 

[PDReggie]

I'm very excited to see you over here! I think how stark the test is depends on just your own personal hormone level. I was pretty far past o when I tested so it was pretty definitive. But I've seen people's test who were 14-16 days past o and test was still light. So happy to have you tiptoe over here. Happy and healthy 9 months (10 months).

 

[MgreenM]
