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

Forums New posts
It's definitely going to be a beer and wine vacation. We're doing a little cabin on a tiny lake, very casual. Hmm.... Maybe if I get mom drunk, she won't notice that I'm sober ;)
 
What about getting yourself some non alcoholic wine, I did that with a night at friends and I just sharpie the non alcoholic bit out and no one noticed
Tastes nothing like wine but looks good!
 
And to be classed as not alcoholic has to be less than 0.5% but most are much less than that anyway x
 
wish I could help, but I am really not a drinker to begin with! So, I don't have any good advice! As for the swimming/ear infection thing, have ear plugs...you can swim with ear plugs!
 
Hi ladies how is everyone? I got my scan date through and will have my first scan on Monday 28th July and I'll be 12w 4 days. Im so excited and I have no idea how I will wait 23 days!
Also trying to keep myself from reading anything about mmc because now I have my scan date that's the thing worrying me although thankfully I have nothing so far to make me worry
 
My first appointment is the day after yours. I have no idea what they'll do, but I'm hoping for a dating ultrasound. They won't do first appointments before 8 weeks, so they have to do something more interesting than just taking my medical history.

I'm doing well. No killer symptoms, though the boobs are getting more sore every day, and I'm real tired of peeing all the time...
 
Yeah for scans! The waiting sucks. I'm trying to try and remember to enjoy the journey, but I just want October to be here already!

MrsK- be prepared the peeing thing hasn't gone away at all for me. I still wake up twice a night on a good night. Can't wait to hear how everyone's appointments go. I have to go do the glucose thing next Sat. Blah.

I can't wait :p I'm hoping it'll ease up a bit in the second trimester, but I'm not counting on it. It's not too annoying in the day, but I hate waking up at night.

I ordered a comfy looking at home maternity/nursing bra. My breasts are getting more and more sore, and I'm hoping some at home support might help. It's worst when I take my bra off, and when I go from lying down to standing. It was cheap and returnable, but I'm hoping I don't grow out of it in a week...

Let me know how it works for you. I sleep in a cheap sports bra or else the books kill when I get out of bed. And when I take the regular bra off they get a little sore. Many people say the spring gets better in the second trimester but for me it is the same. But she seems to be sitting rather low the entire time so that could be part of it.

Ladders and mrsk- how are you guys feeling? Hope the first trimester is treating you guys well.
 
I'm feeling pretty good so far. All my symptoms are just minor annoyances so far, thankfully. I'm a little worried about how it'll go once I hit 6 weeks, especially since I'm chaperoning middle schoolers at overnight camp next weekend.
 
I'm still happily feeling sick lol, seriously is getting to me now I very nearly vomited on myself driving home this morning as I'm working nights and they are killing me! Still I'm hoping it's a good sign that pickle is doing well! Am super tired all the time also!
Iv also got the start of my bump, iv always had a really flat belly (fat thighs and big bum but small on top lol) and now I can definitely see its rounding out, just enough to not look pregnant just like iv eaten too much!
Can't blooming wait for my scan it's seems so far away!
 
Yeah, ladies, hate to break it to you, but the frequent urination hasn't gotten any better for me...As the hormones that really make you pee a lot start to subside, the baby starts getting bigger and puts more pressure on your bladder. Also, I think today I am officially considered to be in the 3rd trimester!

Last week, the baby must have been pushing on my lungs or something, because all of the sudden, I started to feel what I thought was heartburn. I asked DH to go get me some tums from upstairs. Tried going to the bathroom and it got worse. I was literally gasping for air/having trouble breathing (not sure how to really explain it). I took 1 tums and laid down on the couch. DH was so worried, he went and got his shoes, he was ready to take me to urgent care. I made him wait. I didn't know what it was and wanted to see if it would pass...it did, after several minutes...but it was pretty scary. I called my mom to ask her if I should be worried and she told me it was probably the baby pressing on my lungs/breastbone and then she proceeded to tell me where I would feel contractions (much lower). I knew it wasn't a contraction...I just didn't know what it was!

Reggie- I have my glucose tolerance test on Tuesday! Good luck with yours!

Excited for the upcoming scans!

Anyone started working on nursery stuff? We painted last weekend and next weekend we will put the crib together. This weekend we went to central PA and stayed in a bed and breakfast. We had a great, relaxing weekend! So glad we did it!
 
My nose is going a little nuts. I don't have the super strong sense of smell that I hear so much about, but I swear I kept smelling cigarette smoke last night even though DH and I don't smoke, and I don't think the neighbors do either. And DH is brining some pork chops now and I swear it smells like citronella... Must be the lemons.
 
Good luck on all the scans. The scans were the best part of my early pregnancy, any chance to get to see the little bud was amazing. The pregnancy symptoms aren't all fun but they also helped me feel like I was still pregnant and everything was going ok. I didn't get morning sickness, but I did and do still pee alot, and I get really tired after doing anything, even minor stuff like cooking.

DH and I recently moved and decided that we needed to change OBs coz the drive to my previous OB is now about 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. And traffic can get pretty crazy in this area. Anyways, we have been looking around here and finally decided to go with a birth center / midwives. Basically a natural birth. No epidural. I really liked everything about the center over going to a hospital, but the no epidural part is a little scary. Have you guys thought about whether you wanna do natural vs. hospital vs. home vs. etc births?
 
Ladders - I'm happy that you have enough going on to make you feel better. But I know how hard it can be to just be constantly sick. Good luck. My morning sickness didn't pass until like 14 or 15 weeks. I hope yours is more around the 12 week mark!

M - Glad you had a nice weekend. Yeah third trimester! I went to the dentist this morning for my 6 month cleaning and when I made my next appointment it was for not only after I have the baby but by the time I will be back at work. That was quite a wake up call that this is perhaps going faster than I expect. We haven't started working on the nursery. "We" are putzing. And by "we" I mean my DH. Anytime he gets overwhelmed by things he tends to just start putzing and avoiding doing what needs to get done. Kind of like NAME THE BABY!!!!!! Sigh. He gave me his top 4 names last night. I said no to Natalie, and that I was fine with Emma, Ella and Abigail. But that I liked Abigail the best. He immediately said, "I'm not done thinking yet though" I may strangle him. I'm so excited for glucose. Bleh.

Mrs. Chicago - good luck with the smell thing. I never had the crazy sense of smell. Although that may have had to do with the fact that I can't take my allergy medication and can't smell a damn thing.

Soon - I was really interested in learning about natural birth even though it terrifies me. But since I have the previa, my new concentration is hoping that goes away and if not learning about c-section. Which also terrifies me. Good luck with a natural birth! I do hear wonders about it.
 
I'm going with a midwife group that delivers in a hospital. I like the idea of a more natural, low intervention birth, and if I don't gain too much I can try for a water birth (I'm already overweight and they have bmi limits for water birth), but if I decide I need the epidural, they can move me into a normal room down the hall and the midwives stay with me. Needles freak me out, and at this point, the epidural scares me more than the natural birth. I'm going to learn all I can about natural, epidurals, and c sections so I know what's going on if I change my mind or there are complications. A lot of the moms I know had to change their plans, so I'm trying not to get too attached to mine.
 
Reggie- I was due to go to the dentist in March...but with changing jobs and insurance changes, that didn't happen. I am also trying to find a new dentist. At this point, I am just going to wait until after the baby is born to go...missing too much work already! Not ideal, but it's what I have to do.

I will be delivering at the hospital. Maybe it's because I am in the medical profession, but just having the knowledge that if something happens there are resources is reassuring to me...beyond that...I really haven't thought too much about giving birth...I guess I will just go with the flow!
 
I told my brother and SIL today. They're very excited. I told them not to mention it to mom, and my brother's first question was what I'm going to do about alcohol on our lake house vacation with her. Ha! We decided on just having a beer in front of me and swapping it for his empties when he's done. Thankfully it's normal for me to have a beer and a water in front of me, so I won't go thirsty. SIL offered to not drink with me, but I think that would have just been extra suspicious. Question number 2 was how I liked the cloth diapering (I babysit their son now and then and they cloth diaper). I think that's his #1 parent issue. SIL asked all the normal "how far along are you?" kinds of questions. And she's already working on a list of all the things she NEEDS to buy me. I'm so glad they're in the loop now :D
 
I did prenatal yoga for the first the first time yesterday and my legs are killing me!! I think I might do it every other day as I bought a video. It was also really great because it helped to stretch some of the muscles in my belly.
I am showing a little bit but I am still just feeling fat and not pregnant. My doctor told me
To slow down on the weight gain which made me feel like crap. I have even been walking a mile each day! But food is just soooo good right now lol! Hope everyone is doing well!
 
Well a few random updates. First, we picked a name finally! But now DH doesn't want to tell people what name we have picked. Arrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh! I am no good at keeping my mouth shut. But on a good note, had my glucose test. According to my results page the range they find normal is between 65-135 and I was at 95. YEAH totally normal blood sugar level. That made me happy. Not sure I would be able to take the no sugar along with no sex, no yoga, no alcohol, etc. Hope everyone is feeling good!
