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

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks MaznDave, I was going to email one of you ladies so you could update the others but email wasn't great either.

Ah sounds like you're nearly ready?

 

[mazndave]

Well the main thing is that you're fine, it's irrelevant that we had to wait a while longer to find out. The good news was worth the wait!

I'm nowhere near ready! Bought a few bits (furniture is on order) but I found a list of things you're supposed to need, and my god is it loooooong! Don't even know where to start!

I know I've got ages left to go, but if the next 18 weeks go as quickly as the last, think we'll end up doing a supermarket sweep on the way home from the labour ward for all the stuff we've missed!

The next 8 weeks until your scan will feel like the longest 8 weeks of your life, but from that point on it will just whiz by.

Ah sounds like more shopping then!

I've got another scan next Friday and they said they may have me back every ten days so may get a few extra scans x

Glad to hear your're ok sonia

 

[almosthere]

SOO glad to hear you and LO are OK sonia!

and yay for us ladies nearing the end of af and onto the O waiting game! haha

I am already ending my shortlived AF...woohoo--although she likes to leave early then come back for a day...ugh! haha hope that does not happen....really hope this is my cycle since it is like my 8th or 9th-i've honestly lost track-although I think it's 9th as I have short cycles!

 

[miss malteser]

BabyBumpHope - I don´t think I knew that you were expecting twins either!! Congratulations!

Sonia - glad everything went ok. Has your stay in hospital meant that you´ve had to tell friends, family and work that you´re expecting?

Mazndave - you are so prepared! I´ve chosen my pram but haven´t ordered it yet and only started looking at cots this weekend! Maybe I should get a move on!

Almost - congratulations about the job. Sounds like everything is falling into place.

 

[mazndave]

Mazndave - you are so prepared! I´ve chosen my pram but haven´t ordered it yet and only started looking at cots this weekend! Maybe I should get a move on!

I'm glad I did order my furniture early, as it still won't be here til I'm 36 weeks due to a delay with manufacturer! Ideally I wanted the nursery finished by 30 weeks before I got too fat and lazy to do anything, but that isn't going to happen now!!


What pram are you getting?

xxx

 

[miss malteser]

We´re getting the Trider model by Jane. We live in a village where the centre is cobbled and we take our dog for walks every day along paths that probably wouldn´t treat pram wheels too well so we´ve gone for a model that is meant to suit all kinds of terrains. We just need to choose the colour now!

I haven´t even asked how long it will take for our cot to arrive. We know where we´re going to buy it but still haven´t chosen the model and assumed that 4 months would be more than enough time for it to arrive .

 

[almosthere]

Hi ladies-ooh buying baby furniture sounds sooo fun-must make it all the more real having a room for a baby!!

AFM af did officially end yesterday afternoon-wahooooo!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi ladies.

Need some advice, DH and I have been of today and earlier we bd'd although we didn't actually have intercourse. About an hour later I had some pink bleeding which has now turned brown, more discharged then bloody. It's stopped now and just a general belly ache. I've called the early pregnancy unit but they haven't called me back!

Just a little worried but know that some bleeding isn't uncommon and also is mainly brown. Also wonder whether it's also maybe because of all the prodding and internals?

It's stopped now but if comes back will take myself back to hospital. I do have midwive tomorrow so will check with her if all ok until then.

Any thoughts?

 

[miss malteser]

If it´s brown I doubt there´s a problem. I´m sure you´re right and that it´s down to all the messing around down there the past few days.

However, although BDing is safe during pregnancy, personally I would give it a rest for a couple of weeks after all the aches and pains you´ve had. I´m sure BDing wouldn´t negatively affect anything but I know that I would be reluctant to do it just in case!! for the first few weeks after I got my BFP I barely moved just incase the little bean would become unstuck

 

[Jembug]

I think it should be fine Sonia... I bet the midwife will say so too?
I had a bleed at six weeks after sex... Tmi but it was bright red with a few little clots..,, never did find out what it was or why- I just stayed away from DH for a few weeks.
Goodluck at the midwife.

Enjoy the baby shopping.... As this future baby will be my third it will be getting the hand me down cot, pushchair, toys. I will new clothes though, lol.

So I went to work last night expecting to to stay there until 7AM..... They came down at
3am and let me go coz there youngest baby was awake! Result for me x

 

[mazndave]

Sonia, I think that it'll be nothing to worry about. I had the bright red bleed that came out of nowhere, and they never really found a reason for it. You've been prodded and poked down there, and then with the bd'ing on top of that, I would hazard a guess that it's just a little bit of cervical irritation. The epau said to me that it just happens sometimes, and if it's pink or brown it can even just be left over from your last period, and is expelling itself from your body.

MissM, we were looking at the Trider before we got our bfp, I like it in the greeny colour (is it called chiffon or something?) I've never seen one in the flesh though. I think we're looking at getting the Quinny Moodd.

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks ladies. The UPU called me back and said just see how you go, as had stopped and no pain so continue with plan to go back next Friday for scan. Am to call / go if returns heavy or in pain. She did say it could be a result of all the prodding and poking they have done.

Am relieved it has stopped but dreading the toilet and also going to sleep x

 

[PreshFest]

Sonia, with my daughter, I spotted after every time we BD'd. Your cervix gets jostled and some old blood loosens up and makes it's way out. You're totally fine as long as it's just a little spotting!

 

[Soniamillie01]

It's stopped although have a normal pre period belly ache, not pain full though. Common sense tells me it was bd'ing as was pink and then quickly turned to brown so maybe irritated cervix and then it's now stopped. I read somewhere that the extra blood flow to the cervix makes it very soft which makes it susceptible to bleeding.

I'm so glad I've got you ladies - you're all such a reassurance and I hope we get to share so much more of our journeys together!

MaznDave - I love the quinny's and hope to get one too x
Am I right in thinking you're due Oct 1? My bday is Oct 2 x

 

[almosthere]

you are fine sonia-it is hard i am sure by try to relax and enjoy your first pregnancy!!! =)

afm i knew it-af came back this afternoon!! lol soo odd how it comes and goes....and annoying...i just want to have baby making SEX, is that so much to ask?? haha =)

 

[mazndave]

The Quinny's are fab aren't they, do you have your eye on a particular colour? We're going for the white frame with pink seat if it's a girl, and the black frame with red seat if it's a boy. Only 2 more weeks and then can hopefully order it!

Yep, I'm 1st Oct. I was born 1 day after my due date, so you never know this little one could be the same!

Mine used to be the same almost - I'd think it'd finished completely, and then about 8 hours later it'd come back light for 1 more day!

xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

My AF was also a bit like that.

Yes, we have our eye on a quinny buzz, probably in black with a silver frame. DH likes thinks quite plain.
