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

@Supertrooper101 no, unless she measures me again and it's off the charts lol I'm not sure if she has to send me again or can leave it due to having one already? Baby has been moving around ever since and has been in every position going so probably won't be head down again 😂 I'm in full on get house done mode so can't stop yet, although I'm getting tired quicker. Helped the OH do dado rails and wallpapering yesterday and I kept going light headed 😂 finish line is in sight tho 🙏 32 weeks today 🤍

I've read lots of positive things about planned c sections, my friend has had 2, her second one was planned and she raves about it....also goes on about a pico dressing saying I must ask for it if I have one as she said it was a million times better for healing. You will be fine so try not to worry xx

@Paws4thought so if your day 21 come back ok, your dr wont do anything? They probably will come back ok so to save yourselt a headache, i would just use hertility health lol mine said the same about amh, only hospital does it but day 3 they can 🤷‍♀️
@Westy22 am not suprised your nazzed youve not stopped at all lol are you going to get regualr scans now too just in case?
@Sez281 am shattered lol, not sleeping at all with shit loads of scenarios going round my head about a section and afterwards. Not use to a 'choice' so think ur right trying natrual first. Nurse said yesterday ppl are allowed to.opt for sections now for convenience. I find it bizare. And said it should only be for medical/saftey reasons lol

That’s great @Westy22 , glad everything was tracking as it should!
I think I finished up 2-3 weeks before my due date but my job is office based and for second I was working from home so very different to being on my feet all day. See how you feel but it might be nice for you to have some proper rest time before your little person arrives xx

Morning, had growth scan this morning all fine baby weighs around 3lb 12oz at 31+4 weeks and following curve just below 50th percentile. Really active and actually gone head down 🙌 only went on the ball last night so surprised its already done this.

Ah nearly time for you @Supertrooper101 and @Sez281 💖 I dunno if I'll last in work for another 6 weeks it's killing me now 😂 although they think I'm nesting as I'm sorting loads of crap out. X

I found some gps are a bit clueless with fertility stuff, I only ever had day 21 bloods tho @Paws4thought X

@Supertrooper101the Dr didn't know what I meant by day 3 bloods but realised when I said AMH, she said they don't do at gp so would have to be through referal which thry won't do until get results from progesterone. I also mentioned I get random sharp pains sometimes if I stand too quick or sneeze but she didn't suggest what that could be.
What day are you booked in?
@xxcxdonxx the first week has gone pretty fast but the second always drags. It's so hard knowing if it's right and a month between each try feels like forever.
@Sez281 you'll be able to get plenty of rest once you're signed off, have you got much left to get ready? I always think you don't know about a second until after the first.

That’s interesting about the vitamin D, @Sez281 . I normally take extra on top of my prenatal but had run out recently so maybe there is some link? Bought more now though 🤣

@Supertrooper101 ooh not long to go at all, hope you are doing ok.

Sounds like you don’t be far behind @Sez281 and little lady is getting ready.

Did you have your extra scan @Westy22 ?

Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling a bit low. You’ve been through a lot and maybe your body is just responding to that just now. I know I feel a bit all over the place with TTC and if we are doing the right thing. Hope the tww doesn’t drag for you too much @Paws4thought

@Paws4thought you dont seem to have much look with your doctors so good job ur oh is ok with private lol some only do the full bloods if your being referred, but ask, and if they say no, question why, or what i used to do was ask the nurse to add a couple more on whilst doing the booked one, but i think i just got lucky with her tbf lol
@Sez281 my other two did all the tricks and defo recommend raspberry leaf. This time round, even though they say she is unlikley to move, i cant risk it case she does. Read too much on cord prolapse 🤦‍♀️.. myne was 7 12 last appointment so be interesting to see if its true ish lol youl be 35 wks soon wont you so should do your birth plan nxt week maybe? Jumping ahead but are you planning to get back onto it for no°2 ? Lol

@Sez281 that's great thank you, hopefully they'll be helpful at gp. My OH is happy to go private but I just don't want to be repeating tests I've already had and not getting more answers.

@Supertrooper101 thats a good sign that she moved into position, maybe she'll surprise you and come naturally. Thank you, I'll look at hertility if they won't do them at Dr :)

@xxcxdonxx ive bled twice in the past, all the way to my next period.no idea why tho.@Paws4thought day 3s important for fsh and estradiol i think. Meant to show how fertile you are and how many eggs in theory you have left. Some drs say only day 21 is important, i think its bullbob and them just cutting costs. All tests done thr hertity health are done on day 3 so still an option for.you.
@Westy22 ya a bloody machine lol be interesting to see what your scan shows. So many mixed views how accurate they are and i really dont fink a tape measure is that precise either lol
@Sez281 thats a good sign shes in that position. Hope she stays there for you! Yesterday mine was for the first time but.... shes dropped on the growth chart.....obviously lol so booked in nxt week now. Not seen any good views of induction on here at all. Said i would think about it but think ill.go with the other option. MW is all for it saying youve had two natrual it will be fine, but the consultants face when she asked how long ago ( 10+16yrs) said other wise lol still dosent quite seem real. Silly really since ive got 2 already. What options do.you think you will be given? Whats her estimated weight now lol

@Sez281 no just day 21 which are actually being done on day 20 cause they're not open on a Saturday 🙈 they didn't mention day 3, what do they show? They're being done Friday so I'll ask then.
I'm at start of tww again now but feeling really down again, not sure if hormones aren't quite right, I've had sore boobs after ovulation last few months but nothing so far.
Sounds like your baby is getting ready to go, how many weeks are you now?
@Supertrooper101 I didn't realise you've only got 10 days to go!!
@Westy22 hope you're feeling better, it'll be worth all the hard work in the end :)
@Jadeypie @xxcxdonxx @SnookyPook hope you're all doing OK xx

Haha I need to try and slow down a bit as I'm no spring chicken 🙈 I finish work at 37+4 so 18th October which seems forever away now 🙈 @xxcxdonxx

Just seen my MW and have been referred for my first growth scan as stomach measurement has suddenly jumped above the 98th percentile compared to below 50 at my 28 week appointment 😱 hoping it's position as belly was very lopsided and pushed out more one side. Although I've said the whole time my sis has big babies so I'm probably heading the same way 😂

It’s a strange one, trying to keep myself away from Google on it!

You are super woman, managing all this renovation work and your own work all whilst being heavily pregnant! Do you have a date for finishing up yet? You’ve probably said and I’ve missed it in the updates x

@xxcxdonxx I've had very light pink tinged discharge around ovulation a few times, sure I read it can happen now and again xx

No rest for me lol literally been none stop, finally sat down an hour ago to eat snacks and rest for a bit lol keep telling myself it will be worth in the end...even if I'm totally knackered 😂

Aww rubbish @Westy22, I do think that winter bugs are starting to set in. Hope you’ve managed some rest on your weekend off but it sounds like you will have been busy diy-ing!

Random Q but did anyone ever get bleeding at ovulation? I think I’ve ovulated Wed or Thurs this week and I had a bit of pink but then last night it was proper bleeding. Not sure what to think of it. I have been on low dose aspirin for a bit now and not sure if that has contributed to it.

How's everyone? Still full of a cold over here 😩 I've worked through it tho and I'm off this weekend to box off a few more DIY jobs lol desperate to get the carpets ordered so determined to keep going 😂 Belly feels massive, OH commented that he feels like I've grown loads in the last week, still quite uncomfortable though with it being in the wrong position 🙈

@Supertrooper101 hopefully she'll move to the right position! Dr's, the day 21 ones :)

@Westy22 cant you take a couple days of work to relax? I did the capsules with my two and and reccommend BUT ive stopped them this time round cos of the position. Doubt your midwife will have much to say lol i would say only take them if there in the correct position. Not done the tea but the tabs you take from 32wks. And after birth too. Yours is flying by, i feel stuck in limbo lol
@Paws4thought yeah she probably will move, to a more awkward position lol i cant remember what bloods you were getting done 🤦‍♀️ was it with hospital or the drs

@Supertrooper101 my bloods are 6th sept, I will deffo ask for a full print out. Ah won't take long to sort through things! Is there a chance she'll change from transverse position still?
@Westy22 oh no, that so frustrating being ill when it's your day off!! Hopefully it'll be a quick cold. That's good if baby is changing positions, hopefully will end up head down 😊

Yeah I've decided I'm still going ahead with it @Supertrooper101 @xxcxdonxx @Paws4thought I think the OH is just getting nervous now so it's freaking him out lol

I've been hit full force with a cold 😫 currently sat downstairs with a coffee because I can't breathe through my nose or sleep. Actually exhausted 😩 it's my day off after a 6 day week so I could cry that I didn't get the lie in I was desperate for lol

I'm still over here in the transverse club @Supertrooper101 lol starting on the ball this week to try and get this baby to bloody move and stay there, I'm convinced it's gone head down a few times then comes out of it again. I've read all the risks of transverse so totally see where your coming from, hospital must be happy to wait a bit tho. 30 weeks now and I dunno why it suddenly feels so real 😂 panic bought loads of crap for my hospital bag and felt quite overwhelmed with maternity pads and disposable knickers 😂 Not too far off with the house jobs being done then I'm hoping I can just chill out x

Has anyone tried the raspberry leaf tea? Going to ask my MW on Monday when she thinks I can start it, read lots of positive stories lol its probably rank but there's capsules so I'll try them worst case.

Hope everyone else is OK ❤️
