We go to New York just after Easter, I've been a few times, OH has never been.
We will struggle for boys names as we could only agree on one last time and we used it!!

buzzmoon · 28/02/2017 06:02

grumpy love your list! Freya is lovely. The only name I have is Edward (teddy) for a boy, got a few girl names I think. Need to write them down like you have done!

buzzmoon · 28/02/2017 06:01

mummy that's so exciting! I love New York! When are you off?

buzzmoon · 28/02/2017 06:00

seven I'm happy with your weekly updates!

Seven0fNine · 27/02/2017 23:05

Haha buzz I know...I've seen those! No idea! Someone else will have to make that. Think it's good tho cos you can keep yourselves updated. Although I do feel at one with everyone's cycles by updating that list every week!
Love the list Grumpy... I love how your DD is involved every step of the way!

mummy when are you going?

I feel really proud of myself collecting all those pink hearts. It also makes me realise I'm a shit wife when I'm not in the fertile week! Ha!

Mummyme87 · 27/02/2017 22:25

Hb never knew what a good feeling it would be to plot a shag on a graph!

buzz that's hysterical! Read that out to my DH and he's chucking away next to me.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 27/02/2017 22:12

Buzz I just snorted with laughter at that!! 😂😂😂

HbH04 · 27/02/2017 22:07

Haha jupiter totally log mine while DH has his post shag shower😂

buzzmoon · 27/02/2017 22:07

👏🏼👏🏼 on baby making guys!! Last night (get ready for tmi), we had some doggy action and my DP was like, I felt like I'd deffo get you preggers in this position, it would for sure be twins. I was like- not sure it works like that 😂

HeyJupiter · 27/02/2017 22:04

Good work orange, baby making for the evening completed this end too - is it wrong that straight after I reached for my phone so I could tell Ovia? I'm always looking for her approval! Good luck cycle buddy x

buzzmoon · 27/02/2017 22:00

Just had a sneaky peak at an antenatal thread, they have spreadsheets and everything!! seven you need to up your game! 😉

orangefolly · 27/02/2017 21:49

Wonderful news confused - yay for bubble! And looking forward to hearing about dancing and tigger scans too.

Buzz I am glad you asked that because I have been wondering about the + for ages

Well baby making has been successfully attempted for the night Grin jupiter you made me laugh with your standby list. Good luck to you too!

Seven0fNine · 27/02/2017 21:44

You guys are like my bed time reading! I love it!

So pleased for you confused I am so happy everything is looking good. Just fingers crossed for that heartbeat now.

Tigger I am sure everything is fine. Try and relax. I am dreading post BFP symptoms...pre BFP symptoms are bad enough!! xx

I second buzz, it is fabulous having our own in house midwife

DancingUnicorn · 27/02/2017 21:16

Mummy that sounds like torture! Yeah, midwife told me to do some stretches to warm up! :) And more worried about feeling sick than anything!

Mummyme87 · 27/02/2017 20:37

dancing I would still do Go Ape at 9weeks. Baby is well tucked into your pelvis just bare in mind you might ache a lot more after than normal. I was cycling in Manchester velodrome at 6weeks feeling like I was going to vom the whole time 🤢

DancingUnicorn · 27/02/2017 20:25

Confused midwife actually said go ape would be fine! :) I'll be 9 weeks, so didn't want to have to tell my friends who are organising the hen do and didn't want to tell the hen and take anything away from her weekend!

Tigger... I've been getting weird cramps. Think it might be trapped wind. Pregnancy is classy! ;) Really hope it's nothing to worry about!

Buzz Ovia pregnancy app keeps track for you! ;) xx

MrsC2017 · 27/02/2017 20:19

tigger I'm sure that's all it is, my biggest symptom from last pregnancy was trapped wind, it really hurts sometimes and def freaked me out a few times! But if it persists no harm in getting checked if u are worried x

buzzmoon · 27/02/2017 20:07

I bloody love that we have a midwife on this thread ❤️ muummy, well and all you lot too! Grin

Tigger83 · 27/02/2017 20:07

Think I'm panicking over nothing think it's just cramps and wind lol I hope not on one side on both sides and bit high up I think to be ectopic I hope

Mummyme87 · 27/02/2017 20:06

buzz 7+4 is 7weeks and 4days pregnant
Booking is appt is the appt where you see a midwife, have Blood pressure and urine checked, BMI calculated, past obstetric history, medical history, family history and current pregnancy info taken. You get given your notes and info given including phone numbers. Advice is to do this between 8-10weeks. Sometime you have your bloods taken at this appt for HIV, hep B, sickle cell & thalassaemia, syphillis, antibodies and blood group. Plus be offered blood tests for Down's, Edwards and patau's syndrome to combine with your Nuchal scan at 11-13weeks.

buzzmoon · 27/02/2017 20:03

Oh god I don't even know what day of the week it is! I'm never going to be able to keep track of days plus weeks! Hehe

HeyJupiter · 27/02/2017 20:02

Tigger is the pain on one side? I've read too that ectopic's can cause shoulder pain on one side. I'm sure it's absolutely fine and probably just normal pregnancy bloating/cramping Flowers

buzz I think the + is the number of days (so confused will be 7 weeks + 4 days when she has her scan)

confused thank you! Have decided to embrace the PMA this month :)

buzzmoon · 27/02/2017 19:54

I love that we are having 4 babies!! We'll have so many by next year! How exciting is that!!
