Waiting to TTC part 2!

hope you feel better soon bebe.

i have also got my folic acid though OH has said i really dont need them yet so to keep they peace we have compromised and i will start them on aug 1st!!!

they are just sitting by my bed for now!!!

Really sorry to hear you're feeling so crap bebe. I am pretty sure that Zinc helps with being run down so your DH will never know the real reason you're force feeding encouraging him to take it. I played the same trick did the same with mine and he now takes it religiously!!!

I just popped into Holland & Barrett on my lunchbreak to get something to help my IBS and ended up buying some folic acid too...... so much for not thinking about pregnancy! I bought a bottle of 250 pills and was wondering how long they'd last me so checked up and it's only 230 days until we are planning to TTC!! That made me smile! So by the time I have finished the bottle of pills I should be SWI. Judging by what everyone in here has said, some of you may even be pregnant by then (and I'll be here drinking virtual cocktails by myself!!!)

I know what you mean about the filming thing. My job means that I'm one of the (I would imagine, many) people OBEM and similar approach asking about case studies - most people I talk to seem to agree with us! I don't even really want my DH there, though would feel a bit mean completely banning him if he really wants to see it.

I've nagged talked him into going for a fertility test tomorrow, which is a big step forward after months of putting it off. Probably seems weird when we're not even TTC yet, but he has a varicocele so I want to be prepared if we're likely to have trouble.

Sorry to hear you're poorly bebe - are you able to take it a bit easy the next few days? Obviously not easy with a LO.

My DH was planning to stay by my head the whole time too, then the midwife somehow managed to have him holding one of my feet most of the time! It was probably just as well because I think after hearing 'Just one more push' for about the umpteenth time I was fair ready to punch someone!

Wouldn't be doing it with a camera of any description in the room though. I don't get taking pic for the album, let alone for the whole world to see!

Me either - I'm not really sure that I even want my DH watching me when I get around to giving birth so there is no way I'd welcome in a TV crew! Ugh!!

My books and OV sticks from Amazon arrived today. The temptation to get the book out and start reading it over lunch is very strong but am guessing it might not be such a good idea in an office full of men!!!

lol

OH commented on my ebay bought / watching list

It is basically:
OV tests, conception fertility books and basal thermometer, watching a million and one CBFM and condoms lol!!!

he said everything to try and GET pregnant as well as contraception!!!!

Ooooops AC!! That sound like the kind of thing I'd do!

Bebe I was also window shopping on Amazon the other day and put TCOYF and a bumper pack of OV sticks in my shopping basket but didn't buy them. Last night DH is on the laptop and he goes "what's this??". I'd only put them in his Amazon shopping basket by mistake lol.

No wonder your DH isn't keen Bebe! That's impressive!

Apparently the producers of OBEM are looking for women to take part in the next series, my friend was asked at her 20 week scan but declined. Who would agree to go on there and be filmed I want to know. Imagine the whole country sitting having tea and watching you in labour and commenting on your attitude and your pain tolerance and your relationship with your DP.

Oh poor you BBJ. I've been stuck home alone trying to amuse myself as DH has yet another late night at work. Very dull indeed and a lot of crap TV has been watched! Did anybody see the botched tummy tuck on the cosmetic surgery program with Dr Christian? Ugh!!!

Hmm this is attempt 4 to type a reply (seem to have a dodgey connection). Will leave out the birth and c section stuff (although, that was a fine effort by you BBJ!)

Just put DSs bedding in the wash and sure enough his mattress protector is a hippy chick one. It came with his cot so never paid much attention to the brand. It's brilliant though.

Wow! breaking DH's knuckle is an impressive display of strength there!!

Thinking it might be fun to all jump together - top bombing!!!!!

I have to confess that I also had strong urges to slap the girls - so many of them were so young!! Hoping that when i get to that stage I won't be the one crying that I can;t do it.......... have a feeling I might be though!

Quick question for the ladies that already have a DC - on OBEM there seemed to be a lot of emercency sections, is this normal??

Oh can't think of anything worse than watching the whole series of On Born Every Minute. I saw one or two episodes and just wanted to take those whinging whining girls out the back and slap them. Possibly because they reminded me of me whilst giving birth and probably because I was still deep in having to make myself deny I desperately want DC2.

Liking the diving analogy too AC. To bad we can't just sneak up behind our DH and push him off sometimes (hm wait, actually I think that's exactly what I have done to mine!).

Hehe, think I was in denial about the whole birth thing right up until it happened! The great thing about the female mind is that it's progammed to forget about the pain of child birth after it's all happened. also biologically females don't feel pain as badly as men (hence the man flu), so our DHs will always think birth is worse than the reality of it.

Oh - I actually quite liked diving at school but am not enjoying this......

Also a big fan of One Born Every Minute. I held off watchign it when it first cam out as I was trying to deny the broody feelings but then I watched it back to back on 4OD one day when I was off work sick..... I thought it would really put me off but no chance, evidently I really have thought about everything and still want to get PG!
