TTC chat thread 4

@monsteramunch I’ve just seen @Kitty901 RE eating afterwards- I personally ate a big Burger King after and ate very normally after and was fine so perhaps that’s a personal effect! I did get trapped wind in my shoulder which is very common, just good to keep on top of paracetamol and ibuprofen! I think the biggest piece of advice is to really rest up after and let yourself heal. A week post section I felt pretty normal but kept trying to do more than I can which put me back in my place! I got myself a big comfy recliner armchair which has been great for me!

@monsteramunch my only advice is not to eat after the operation even if they tell you you can eat as normal as i have done that and was in so much pain after! Stick to soups for a while x

@Hjudge56 congrats! Silly me i havent looked at the dates 😀 i wish you a speed recovery and take it easy please! My scar started opening at week 6, got infected and went on antibiotics and had the dressing put back on

Ooh @Kitty901 and @Hjudge56 I'm having an elective in October and really looking forward to the experience but feeling a little nervous about the recovery now I'm only 10 weeks away!

If you have any 'I wish someone had told me that...' or must haves for recovery then I would be ever so grateful for your advice.

So pleased to hear that your little ones are safely here

@Kitty901 i had it 2 weeks ago!! Little girl is here and the experience was great :)

so glad to hear your little girl is doing well! God where has that time gone!

Hi ladies, i have decided to log on and see how’s everybody doing! My girl is 5 months old now and has two tooth already! I can’t believe how time is flying 😢 i am happy she is here and also sad as this is our second and last baby and would never go through ttc and pregnancy excitement again.

@Hjudge56 good luck for Thursday, how exciting! I had an elective ceserean due to a previous emergency ceserean. It will all be alright! Xx

@Hjudge56 thank you! There have been a couple of things I wasn't expecting if I'm honest, trapped wind in the shoulder is apparently very common and bloody painful! But it didn't last too long thankfully and the other is boob pain (I'm not breastfeeding), this has been excruciating, but is easing off now. I had my dressing removed today so I feel a bit tender but overall not too bad. It's day 7 today and I went out for a walk for the first time yesterday and again today 😊 the whole elective section experience was amazing, not gonna lie. It was so relaxed and calm. I really hope yours goes as well as mine did!

@MrsJGrealish sounds like you’ve got lots going on! Haha yes that’s usually the way it works.. when the timing isn’t quite right!

@MamaSJ15 huge congratulations! How has your recovery been? I have my elective c section this Thursday! Very excited but also nervous about recovery

@Hjudge56 hey!! I haven't actually been on here for ages! We had our little boy a week ago ❤️ had an elective c section after the first traumatic birth and it was so much better! How are you doing?

@Hjudge56 I'm on Facebook groups, WhatsApp chats and mumsnet threads for ttc 😂😂 I feel like it's taken over slightly 🤣

Would love to see a wee pic of baby!! Girl? Did I guess right? Xx

@Hjudge56 ahh soo exciting!! Get all your MN time in now. Well I'm still here plodding along. I wouldn't say I'm too disappointed to still be here, we'll have a full house again soon (DS moving back home after student life) and we are getting a new kitchen soon which he will no doubt trash 🙄 kinda thinking where would I put a baby now..wait til you see this will be the month it works 😂 good luck for Thursday lovely 🥰

@MrsJGrealish haha no I have a c section booked for Thursday morning! Very excited! Just been having a little look on here and wondered how you are! How have things been?

@Hjudge56 on the conception board already lovely?🤣🤣 have you had you little one? 💕

@MrsJGrealish and @MamaSJ15 how are you both getting on?! It’s been a while!

After TTC for 18 months we finally have this!

My flo app says I'm 5 weeks and 2 days but that doesn't seem right? Too far along? Can anyone advise?

I'm a teacher and at work - my head isn't in it at all! Don't know how I'll get through the day.

We're keeping it to ourselves for now but I'm already struggling with not telling anyone so thought I'd post on here!

4w1d today, somehow managed to find time Xmas day to conceive them 😂

@Pika93 congratulations!!! How many weeks are you?

Oh @Pika93 I'm so happy for you! Congratulations

I'm back after a few months of break downs with some awesome news!!! 13 months of ttc and we finally have our bfp

@Hjudge56 damn right if I was vomiting the whole world would know. Ovulated CD16 and managed CD12 and ovulation day. Tried CD15 but DH got over excited 🙄

Hopefully the sickness ends soon. Bless you🙏 mine was worse with DD and I felt sick right up until she was born. With DSs it eased at 13 weeks xx it's so worth it in the end ❤️

@MrsJGrealish haha loving the name change!

I have got all my fingers and toes crossed for you and really hope this is your month! How are you feeling about it? Did you manage to DTD even though you were sick ?

the other side has been quite tough tbh… I’ve been very nauseous and throwing up a lot. I’ve been bed bound on quite a few occasions but I have to remember how grateful I am and how worth it it all is! Work was getting a bit fed up as I was ‘slacking’ so I decided to tell my manager today as im around 11 weeks. Was a relief to get it off my chest as they knew something was wrong!

@Hjudge56 ah bless thanks for thinking of me x currently 1dpo didn't ovulate last month no pains, not any kind of peak and both me and DH were sick. Super peak this cycle so it's a waiting game now. A little bit fed up of it all.

Anyway how are you getting on at the other side? Hope you are keeping well?

Also name change..(missed my man too much) 😂

How are you getting on @MrsCristianoX ?

@monsteramunch thank you 🙏🏽 here’s hoping next time will be more successful. How are you getting on?

Oh @Eka94 I could cry for you 😞

I'm so very sorry

Aw that’s ok. Had it confirmed today that I have definitely miscarried ☹️
