TTC First Baby Thread 19

@MrsEG oh haven't you?! Bum aches and thigh/groin numbness are totally symptoms, right @ValidUser ?! 😂

@MrsEG thank you my lovely! 😘😘

@Larrydavid congratulations!! I wouldn't have liked to have been pregnant on my wedding day, but that's personal choice!

It's so great to see how you ladies are getting on 😊 c

@purplefig I haven’t heard that one before!! Hoping it’s a good sign :) Keeping my fingers crossed for your temps tomorrow morning!!

@FlapJackered I haven't quite caught up with the thread yet but my friend had a similar thing when she went for her ivf re:weight. She ended up putting tiny weights in her knickers 🤣did the trick though, she now has a 7 yr old!
Lol
Just made me chuckle and thought it would you too

(Will carry on reading the rest of the thread now)

Brain dump because I can't blather on to anyone else (DH not home yet!): I'm getting the weirdest ache right where my thighs meet the rest of my body. Could well be my new exercise but it keeps coming and going. So strange though.

Cycle #2

Day 2 🙄

@MrsH49 unfortunately I think like @MrsEG says, it's such a sensitive area and people don't want to say the wrong thing. What a thoughtful DH you have - those flowers are gorgeous!

@FlapJackered fingers crossed the nurse is nice, but even if not I reckon you could easily 'gain' 2kg with all the things mentioned in this thread!

@ValidUser - I've also done way too much research into my favourite prams, cribs, different ways to feed, nappies, etc etc... it's dreadful really, am sure i'm jinxing myself.
Fingers crossed for you being able to squint at a test and see a genuine line!

@MrsH497- Those are some gorgeous flowers, what a lovely DH you have

@MrsH497 Don’t let it get you down. They may set up a formal meeting in that case (kinda like my MD did) and will give you a day or two to just get settled again. It’s so hard going back in to work, just try not to let it get you down - enjoy those lovely flowers with your lovely DH tonight and switch off from it!

@ValidUser Great stuff!! How many DPO are you now?

@MrsEG I know but policy does state anyone off sick for longer than 7 days should be checked on. New role isn't working out either ahhhhhhhhhhh

On a happy note hubby bought flowers home to cheer me up god I love him

Thank you @LokiCat.

@MrsEG thanks for the tip re Tommy's checklist, I'll def have a look at that x

@FlapJackered Sounds like a plan! I’m sure the doctor will get ‘creative’ with your measurements ;)

@MrsH497 They may just not know what to say, I found that. People were very nice when I came back, but absolutely no one mentioned it. The MD called me in to her office one day for a chat just to see how I am and she was the only one to do so (and I ended up in tears in her office!!) Please try not to let it annoy you - it’s such a sensitive subject that I just think most people don’t even know what to say.

@starkid i know she was so nice! I just hope the nurse is as nice!

@Larrydavid sorry the end of my last post got cut off for some reason! I meant to say that despite that, she still said it was a lovely special day but a more relaxed vibe and she wanted to have a party where she could get drunk and dance all night. So you could have two parties one wedding then a party to celebrate after! 🎉

My line managers and work are really not supportive at all 😡 I've basically been ignored since I got home no one has asked how I am.

@FlapJackered - I love how sympathetic the receptionist is!
@Larrydavid - that's great news! I think don't worry about that just now, what will be will be and if you're pregnant before you want to get married, it's not the end of the world and you can look great especially with a sleek dress that accentuates the bump!

@purplefig @MrsEG 😂 I don't think I could hold a poo until 7pm. I think I will go with the weights and a lot of water. I will weigh myself before I go to double check. The receptionist did say to tell the nurse what it is for and she might accidentally put a foot on the scale!

Congratulations @Larrydavid !! That is very exciting! How did he propose?
My SIL was pregnant for her wedding and ended up having another one as she felt it was too much of a shotgun wedding.

@purplefig Sounds fab! I am going to bed early at the moment anyway so will try and go up and listen to this before he clambers in to bed!!

@Larrydavid Ah if you are thinking winter / end of year 2020 you’ve loads of time! You could just see where you’re at come New Year? You could have your own wee flower girl/page boy trotting down the aisle with you

@MrsEG @purplefig you're both totally right - I don't think I'd enjoy paying for a wedding and feeling sober in the corner! I don't think we were planning on anything til next winter anyway so I think we'll just play it by ear. This week has been a bit of a whirlwind (in the best possible way!)

@MrsEG ahh awesome - ok it's called 'Sleep Hypnosis' and it's by 'Positive Life Therapy Limited'. It's a bit strange, but I love it. This one is about 30 minutes long and you can just set it to play and once it's ran through it just stops, so shouldn't wake anyone up. He could do it with you? Or just go to bed 30 minutes earlier? Ok I will stop trying to micromanage your bedtime now .

@Larrydavid Congratulations!!! As above, I would not have wanted to be pregnant at mine - we partied extremely hard!! It can also be a super stressful affair organising it. I had one friend in the same situ as you years ago and then postponed the wedding, had the baby and then got married a year later. Or you could try and get married this summer then crack back on with TTC afterwards! Saying that, I see no problems at all with brides being pregnant on their wedding days - I just know that if I was feeling very sick and tired and bloated while all my friends and new husband we’re getting smashed I’d have hated it!!

@purplefig I do have amazon music! Oh excellent I’ll try that tonight. I used to have a Spotify sleep playlist that was amazing but it was keeping DH awake (he’s one of these who needs absolute darkness and silence to sleep). But I could give the hypnosis a shot!

@Larrydavid congratulations - how exciting! I haven't been to any pregnant weddings before. I think if it was me, and we were planning to get married fairly soon, I'd probably postpone TTC. Wedding planning is no joke - plus a growing belly would make dress fitting hard. Also, champagne.

@MrsEG It's totally normal to feel exhausted after being back at work, and totally normal to be nervous about tomorrow. That's a really good mantra you've got, just keep reminding yourself of it. Do you have amazon music by any chance?! There is this sleep hypnosis on there I used and it is incredible. Works for me 90% of the time.

@FlapJackered Oh that is so frustrating - agree with @MrsEG** - try and avoid having a poo! (I 100% couldn't do this for an evening appointment though!). You might also consider drinking a fair bit of liquid right before your appointment? Not too long though, or you'll wee it all out.

Threads on here move so fast! I'm still on holiday and think AF due on Monday. Weird cramps going on but haven't had regular cycles for ages so no idea what's normal anymore!

My boyfriend proposed a couple of days ago - completely unexpected.

Who knows if I'll be a pregnant bride or postpone wedding! Anyone had a wedding whilst pregnant before?? 🙈

Hope you're all well. Fingers crossed that some of you will he posting bfp's soon!

@MrsEG good luck with your appointment! I'm sure it'll be a relief after!

@FlapJackered BMI is such a harsh measurement. Sorry to hear that!

@Lottiepink I'm going to try getting back into the gym more often when I get back. I feel so sluggish when I don't go often. Do you go to the gym or do classes?
