TTC May 2023 💝 Previous MC March 2023 (thread 4)

Another not enough lol

@Westy22 thats good then. Its all just estimates tbh so ive found out lol
@Paws4thought well 2 natrual and was having a shower within an hour and back to normal after 2 days... section, cudnt feel my legs for about 7hrs... cudnt stand up till the next day and took a full day to even walk a small distance. Then theres the pain n weeks of internal healing. N thats not including the surgery itself lol if i was younger and had enough, that would not be my first choice again lol

@Supertrooper101 ah that's reassuring thank you. No they won't give unless I bleed but so far I haven't 🤞 is the recovery harder than natural?
@Westy22 sounds like everything is heading the right direction 😊

All good @Supertrooper101 baby is 4lb13 oz so just below 50th percentile, head down and plancenta has moved right to the top now. She said its following on fine from last scan and they think it has long legs lol x

@Paws4thought my bmi was only 21 and i took 5mg then aspirin later on. Are they not going to give you progesterone at your scan then or only if there are problems? No idea if am healing ok lol this type of birth is new to me with the bleeding being random so who knows lol @Westy22 how did you get on?

@Westy22 have you got much time off before you're due?

Has anyone been taking the 5mg dose of folic acid from gp? My bmi is about 29.4 so under 30 but I rang to ask as its advised for bmi over 30, they originally said not necessary then rang back later to say they would prescribe but now I'm worried it'll be too much and cause issues. 0.4mg to 5mg is such a big difference 🙈

I'm starting to regret working for this long tbh 🙈 @Paws4thought @Supertrooper101 I'm worried I'm going to be knackered when it comes to giving birth 😂

Had my 34 week appointment this morning and have been referred for a growth scan again tomorrow as now I'm apparently measuring small 🫠 MW said I'm not following any kind of curve. Trying not to worry and hopefully all will be well. Babies heart rate was a bit quick but did eventually come down so MW put that down to alot of movements making it get quicker. First time I've felt anxious at an appointment for a while 🙈

@Sez281 sounds like baby is definitely getting ready 🙏 do what you feel comfortable with, I don't fancy the recovery after a csection but worst case I'll do it.

@SnookyPook wish my OH was a doctor lol glad Sammy is better tho and developing well 😍 I think it's lovely when babys personality starts coming through x

@Westy22 cant believe youre still doing so much at work still, hopefully the collapsing shelf will make them think about what theyre asking you to do. Glad your oh is starting to relax now.
@SnookyPook ah Dr husband is very helpful, at least you knew what to look out for, glad Sammy is getting better now tho :) aww that must be lovely, developing his character.
@Sez281 I'd say try natural first if you can, you might be a lucky one who breezes it. How big is she measuring now?
They won't give progesterone unless I bleed but if I see the tiniest bit of spotting I'll be straight on the phone and push for it. I'm hoping the first 2 might have just been unlucky and this one could be OK without help.
@Supertrooper101 glad all the kids are getting on well... are you healing OK?

@Sez281 awww dont cave for a section, she sounds like shes nearly ready to come natrually so you might not need the full induction, just a little nudge lol yeah kids love her and she knows their voices so follows the sounds lol
@Westy22 you are seriously superwoman 😅 having a newborn is going to be a breeze for you compared to what youve been doing the last 8mths lol
@Paws4thought really hope it pans out and push for that progesterone
@SnookyPook i need me a dr husband lol we was one of the ones where she was just called baby then my surname lol was like that for about a week 🤷‍♀️ need to be sure on these things lol

@Westy22 oh goodness! 😆 Hopefully they'll take the hint and not have you doing that again! Hope you had a lovely time with your bro and niece, and a yummy roast dinner!

@xxcxdonxx definitely still time! The month I conceived Sammy we only dtd twice and wasn't tracking at all so no idea when we did in relation to peak/ovulation but it must have been close/only two shots!

@Paws4thought hope you're doing well and that the next couple of weeks fly be healthily for you. 🙏🏼

@Sez281 hope you're doing well! So close to the finish line now! Sending all the positive vibes your way for a great birth!

@Supertrooper101 how are you and little lady? Still trialling names or have you settled on one? Haha a mum on my due month group couldn't decide and they literally picked one at the registry office on their last day to register her! Seemed crazy to me that they kept her without a name for so long!

We're good. Sammy had a bit of a reaction to one of his jabs - bright red, hard skin at the injection site which is still going down a few days later. Hubby was monitoring him closely in case of sepsis or something (drew round the red area with pen and kept monitoring if it got bigger) - times like that it's reassuring being married to a doctor 😆 thankfully all fine. We're getting proper smiles from little man now and he's starting to coo and babble - I'd forgotten just how heart-meltingly adorable it is when they start to interact a bit more 🥰

Ahh glad to hear your okay and keeping everything crossed for you @Paws4thought hopefully the next 2 weeks go quick xx

@xxcxdonxx still time 🙌 go for it ❤️

34 weeks tomorrow for me, had the weekend off to do some final bits on the house and the nursery furniture just arrived so I'm so excited to start organising next week lol my brother is down my little niece today so will be seeing them for a little bit then hoping to chill out and have a roast dinner with a film later. OH feels like he's starting to destress as things come together so that's nice. Work is starting to really kill me off, was sat on the floor organising stock the other day and leaned on a shelf to get up and took the whole thing out 😂😂 obviously alot heavier now 🐷😂

@xxcxdonxx you've still got a chance if dtd today / tomo then 😊 hopefully being busy has given your mind a break from ttc!

That’s exciting @Paws4thought , hopefully the next two weeks go by quickly for you.
I’ll keep everything crossed for you 🥰

All fine here, it’s been a really busy week with work and then it’s been my ohs 40th so lots of organising with that so feels like we’ve not had much chance to dtd! I’ve got an almost peak this morning so will by later today I expect and feeling like we’ve maybe missed our window. It’s really early for me so caught me off guard!

How's everyone getting on? Hope you've all had a good weekend so far :)
I'm 5 weeks today, trying to be positive but staying realistic, scan booked at epu for 7+2 So keeping everything crossed!

Haha yeah I think reality is hitting @Supertrooper101 lol although house is nearly at the finish line too so maybe he's now thinking about baby 😂 my heartburn has really ramped up 😩 last 48 hours have been horrific with it hitting me at night. Might be time to hit the gaviscon liquid 😂 nursery carpet is getting fitted Tuesday then I can finally start nesting 🙌🙌🙌 hope your getting on okay x

@Sez281 the scan i had a week before the section at 37 3 i think, she measured 7 13, her growth had gone from 95th to 69th.. ..... a week later she came out at 7 3. Not sure what went on... either inacurate scans throughout or her growth slowed . U do right going natrual, but then alot prefer section 🤷‍♀️.
@Westy22 your fella sounds very panicky lol has reality kicked in whats coming lol
@SnookyPook yeah that was for you lol my tag scrolling isnt playing ball properly either. I asked cos my oh said there all born with a hole butbi had never heard that. Plsd yours is doing well
@Paws4thought hope your doing ok 🙂

Eeekkk @Sez281 must feel weird having a date 😱 can imagine it feels very real now 😂 my OH put the car seat base in the car yesterday as a test run and I felt really nervous 😂 4 weeks left in work this Friday tho 🎉 I'd take the measurements with a pinch of salt I've read so much about them being way off....my sis pushed out 11lb babies so its doable 🫠. My baby feels like it wants to get out of me already the legs and arms I'm feeling are mental 😂

@Paws4thought hope your OK x

@SnookyPook I'm going to ask my MW about the tour Monday if not we will do a practice run and drive up there to make sure we know where we're going 😂 I've been loads of times for epu but never noticed the labour side as I obviously avoided it like the plague x

@Supertrooper101 just seen this was meant for me - do you mean are they all born with a hole in the heart? Answer is no but apparently it is fairly common in newborns and very often resolves on its own. The reason they were more bothered for Sammy was the site where the hole was is apparently one that can be more problematic. But thankfully all fine ☺️

@SnookyPook trialing another lol seeing the immunisation list now compared to what it was back with my other two i cant say am too happy about it with all the extras. I mean, why does a baby need a hep b jab is crazy! An 8 wk old does not need that Never was a thing before unless the mum had it but now theyve made it a 6 in 1 jab its all or nothing. 🙁

@Paws4thought eek! Cautious congratulations lovely! Hope this is the one for you 🙏🏼🌈

@Supertrooper101 Ava is lovely! Is it feeling more 'right' yet or you trialling soms others?

@Sez281 all your name options are cute! I'm sure the right one will become apparent once she's here 🥰

@xxcxdonxx hope all goes well with the house move and that you settle in well. X

@Westy22 are you booking a tour in then? Aw hopefully little one won't keep you waiting!

We've got Sammy's 8wk jabs tomorrow morning! Hopefully he'll be ok 🥺

@Paws4thought am with westy....fib fib and fib some more. Dont feel bad doing it cos they treated you like crap last time so do what you need to.
@Sez281 awww dont stress. You will be in good hands. Cant beleve with come on the journey at near enough same time, and oldies at that! Been nice 🙂..
@xxcxdonxx i came home 2 days later, could have come home the nxt day but by the sounds of it they messed me up inside and lost ltr n half of blood. Still trying to get answers. Think am doing ok lol forgot how scary it is having a newborn tho lol

@xxcxdonxx Perhaps it taking longer will results in a sticky bean next time it happens 🤞
I feel OK, dread going to the toilet and seeing something i don't want to see and don't really have any symptoms yet. Hopefully this pregnancy will work out but if not should get referral straight away which is better than being in limbo I guess.

I’d day we have made a half hearted attempt but not given it our all. Even though I’ve not been able to hold onto any of these little babies, I've always gotten pregnant fairly easily but that’s maybe not the case any more.
Anyway, how are you feeling @Paws4thought ?
