WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[MissBroody]

So true Elz - you just never know what's round the corner do you? You just have to grab life by the short and curlies!

Mazndave - thanks for the positivity, and you're right, it should be fine a- like it was 2 years ago

Hehe yes you'll be straight onto BnB catching up! I should be doing house-work right now, ooops.

I know - soo naughty!! I didn't want to tempt fate so bought white with blue pom poms for a boy and white with a pink frill for a girl - so either way I can put a gorgeous pair of booties on baby I'm an amateur photographer and have been scouring ebay for these lovely knitted booties and crochet hats etc as 'props' for newborn photo shoots. They look gorgeous wearing just a hat, or just booties! Really naughty though - I'll try not to buy anything else If I had been you - I'd have soo bought that owl top though!! And then a boy owl thing when I saw it to balance it out How tempting is this - AND it's unisex!! ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newborn-...048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415cce1978

I would like to try and breastfeed next time and do it for longer than 11 days this time. My son was tongue tie and my supply was low so those first few days were mainly pain and tears and frustration - so this time I'm going to stay completely open to the idea that I may bottle feed from early on and that's fine I would like a similar birth - waters broke and he was born 24 hours later after a very manage-able labour (albeit with an episiotomy and ventouse) and 4 days before his due date! It's so scary not knowing how the birth will pan out isn't it... A water birth sounds great!! I'd have loved that but the hospital I'll birth in only has one pool and it depends on when you go into labour and if it's free to use

You've all been busy. I've tried reading all the new posts.

Sorry the ladies who may put ttc on hold

Re feeding I want to exclusively bf for six months this time round. Last time I bf exclusively for two weeks then combined fed til 3 months. I am hoping for a home birth with water this time. My last labour went like text book so fingers crossed for a simple one this time round.

Does anybody have any names yet? X

Ahh the topic of breastfeeding! I want to try as well, but the idea of chapped and cracked nipples does not get me too excited. However, I know it is best for baby and mommy so will try!

As far as natural birth (which is what I want to aim for) does air and gas count as part of a natural birth, or no?

And thanks for the support everyone, I think I will be fine and I don't think I am officially a high risk pregnancy gal until I get seen by the specialist so I am going to try to keep my head up!

And MissBroody, like you told me, you will be fine, we just need to stay unstressed and keep our heads clear of negativity and just think positive. I hope that everything will work out for everyone. And I agree with Mazndave-bad bad bad for buying booties, but I bet they must have been too cute to pass up

Good luck, I hope you're not high risk

I do believe gas and air counts as a natural birth. Well it certainly didn't give me any 'relief', just made me feel drunk!

Hmm, then perhaps the gas is not worth it! OR maybe it works differently with everyone

And I saw you asked about names. The funny thing with that topic is, both DH and I want a boy, but our girl names turned out soooo much better!

 

[almosthere]

Kimber Ann/Jada/Joy (unsure of middle name!)
Naomi Brooke Bitencourt
Jaina Rose Bitencourt
Alianna Rose Bitencourt

Liam Ledoux/Jace (Ledoux is DH middle name and mothers maiden name!)
Bryce Wade
Conor Jacob/Lance/Byron/Maddox (again unsure of middle name)
Nolan Anilton
Blake Kenneth

You seem to be well prepared for names!!
We have a few in mind, all Welsh names but still undecided which is our favourite! Will you be finding out the sex? I'm not sure if I would. Part of me wants to know so that I can be organised, but another part of me likes the idea of the surprise on the day! Who knows...I'll hopefully be put to the test soon!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I think we would find out so can fully prepare. In terms of names we live Olivia for a girl and Archie / Oscar / Alfie for a boy, although Alfie is quite common now.
Our surname is Allen so think they all go quite well.

As for feeding I want to breast feed but like you almosthere the though of the nipple issues puts me off but know it's best! I hope I can breastfeed as I had a breast mastoplexy 5 yrs ago and one of the side effects was not being able to.

 

[MissBroody]

Soniamillie01 - I hope you can breastfeed after that. But at the end of the day as long as baby is fed, healthy and happy that's all that matters

Gas and air worked wonders for me! I felt high - but it helped with the pain a lot!

We've got our girls name sorted and have a few as back up but can't agree on a boys name. We have

Girls:

Freya Rose
Sofia
Evelyn
Elyse
Willow
Ruby

Boys:

Leo
Alastair
Theo
George
Reuben
Noah
Greyson
Elijah

For our first LO we really didn't mind what he was so having a surprise was lovely. This time I want to be more prepared so we'll find out. What are your names? Are you from Wales?

Yes, I'm from Wales and speak Welsh to hubby, and we both have Welsh names too! The girls names we like are: Sioned, Llinos, Angharad, Eleri, Carys, and the boys names we like are: Steffan, Gethin, (I can't think of any more at the top of my head but we'll probably add to both lists by the time we need to choose!!)

[MissBroody]

They're lovely Where in Wales are you? We're in Cwmbran. OH's first language is Welsh - he's Huw. Our little boy is Harrison Evan David so not much Welsh in there. I liked Seren, Eleri and Ffion for girls and Iolo for a boy but OH wasn't on board!

[Elz]

We're in the West, other side of Carmarthen. Well we will be from Saturday as we're moving back! lol I like those names too! Might add them to my list!

Thanks! I notice my names are far different from the names in UK and such, very interesting to see new ones! And Naomi is one of my top pics if we have a girl!

FYI I start my prenatals and folic acid tonight after dinner, and see the other OBGYN September 13th! I hope for only good news

 

[Elz]

Hey ladies, just thought I'd pop in to see how everyone's doing? I'm going to be offline for a few days as I'm moving house tomorrow and I'm not sure when we'll be able to set up the internet in the new house! I'm going to have major withdrawal symptoms - this site is so addictive!! Hopefully by the time I'm back online I would have finished my BCP and will be officially NTNP!
Keep smiling...

[almosthere]

Very exciting, we will miss your conversing!

 

[MissBroody]

ohhhh good luck with the move!! We'll miss you! Sooo exciting that you'll be NTNP when you get back on!! With Mazndave gone too, it'll be quite quiet in here this weekend!

I'm feeling quite anxious today - I just want October to be here almosthere - it's great to see other names, they're so unique. I agree different to UK names. Do you know roughly what day in October you'll be ovulating?

I'm not enjoying being off BC much - my PMS was awful, my skin is oily and broken out in cystic acne and my hair is greasy. Ugh. It'll be worth it when I get my BFP right?!

Hope everyone is doing well today!

[Soniamillie01]

Good luck with the move, hope to see you back online soon!

I've got 6bcp left so this time next week it will be finished - whoop!

 

[Jembug]

Hey ladies, still here, will catch up later xx
