Ttc#1 Thread 14 GRADS. New year, new babies, new challenges! These sprogs keep amazing us every day!

[AudreyBradshaw]

Behold, the wonder of birth! Members from 6 weeks bfp to post-partum wonder Mamas! No question to grotty or minging.

We've come full circle from obsessing about cervical mucus to now obsessing if it's our vagina baby plug going! What larks!

Lots of talk about poo, ours and now babies too! Baby brain is REAL! From morning sickness in the first trimester to the third trimester struggle of getting out of bed ( "walrus-ing"in our house), to actual real babies who are growing so fast! Discussion on the merits of sleepyhead and Ewan the dream sheep. Now into teething and sleep regression, how to manage our mothers/MILs whilst being sleep deprived.

Sooo many gorgeous babies now! And equally lovely Mummy's! We are amazing! What a year! Can you believe it's been over a year since our first tentative TTC thread!? Look how far we've come!

Roll up for TTC #1 Grads!

Phew glad I passed haha

Thanks for the clothes reassurances. Have added a best, the house tends to be kept warm but I was a bit confused about outside and she seems to tend towards being too hot. When I googled found loads of forums saying three weeks was too young to bring a baby out 😳. But no one in real life seems to think so. I'm really enjoying my walks after so long on the crutches so was a bit stressed thinking I was getting it wrong!! Didn't want to give up my walls!! Saw the Physio today got lots of excercises to repair/re-strengthen my pelvis she had to remind me I was only 3 weeks postpartum and to avoid too much, think I'm just so relieved to be able to walk again!!

Glad we don't have a nev imposter

Tentatively starting to enjoy breastfeeding although need to keep working on latching on as A likes to have a gnaw occasionally! Or bobs on and off if she's farting at the same time!😳 HV tomorrow for another weight I wonder when I'll stop feeling anxious about it?!?

feef I was out with Harrison when he was 3 days. Done him no harm

I'm up for a Facebook group if anyone can sort it out as I'm genuinely shit with that sort if thing!

H had his 3rd lot if injections today and is feeling really off. Got a temp and is sobbing his heart out when he's awake

Welcome back dr! Glad to hear you're still about

Hope you're having a lovely time indi

Sorry I'm so hideous at keeping up at the minute

Also feefs, H clenched his teeth when he darts good fun.

Clenches his teeth when he farts, as well...

Miley Bodhi was awful after his... temp 38.9 with 4 hourly calpol off his food green diarhoea... was back to normal after 48 hours.

V keen for a fb group, ditto my due date month having one, it's really good!

Why on earth can't you take a baby out before 3 weeks? We went to the pub on day 5, I was gagging for a pint!

No idea couldn't find real advice just random forums and stupid American websites! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's bonkers

Definitely bonkers feef! It drives me mad when people have said 'should you be out with a young baby?' (People HAVE said it too) what do they expect us to do? Hibernate for a year?! Winds me right up. Oh - and layers - A is wearing a vest and sleepsuit or a long sleeve bodysuit and cardigan (so basically 2 layers) indoors and outdoors we add a hat, warm snowsuit, blanket and then she's in a cocoon type thing in her pram.

Pink I think it was you that asked about milk? I've found the opposite - I've got a lot more milk now but that's because A is now up 3 times a night to feed! When she was sleeping through my milk definitely dropped off and I struggled a bit with supply in the evening.

I've been doing a bit of half hearted diet research. Never really dieted before except pre-wedding when I did the 5.2 and then a mad panic starvation diet. and thought that worked quite well for me but everything I've read seems to say you shouldn't be cutting down on calories drastically if you're bf. What's everyone else doing?

Glad you're having a fun holiday indi.

Welcome back nev, glad you're not an imposter Waves to Lisa, miley, Dr and everyone else

We've got 16 week injections on Monday. Nev and miley did your babies have similar reactions at 8 weeks? A was very upset and unsettled for a day or two after 8 week jabs but she didn't seem to get a fever. She was fine after the 12 week injections.

I'll set it up - am stuck under a sleeping/dream feeding baby atm.

I need to have at least one person as a friend to add them. Miley I know your real name so will add you on fb if that's ok? Just accept me and then I can set up the group with you as an invited friend. Can work out the rest from there.

Ok, can't add you Miley - your settings won't allow it.

Can someone pm me their info and I'll use that to set us up.

Are people going to hang around here and do FB or just migrate over to FB?

I'll be here, ill do both (if I can work out how to log out of dh's hotmail to create a new email for me to create a new Facebook account. I've not had facebook for over 3 years and it's time to start anew!

irregular wonder why you can't add me! I could add you if you like? Unless audrey has managed!

soda I'm still eating 2000cals but healthier diet. H is pretty much the same after his 16week as his 8 - hysterical, temp, sleeping a lot hope A manages fine.

nev ah poor little fella! I'm not as sensitive to H having his jabs as I was at 8 weeks but it's still not nice to watch. I hope this is only 48 hours as he was off for days and days last time and I'm far too tired for that.

Got my mum back for another MRI today. Hope this is finally going to get us some answers

Go for it Miley

Soda he was completely fine after 8 and 12.

Miley sounds exactly like Bods poor boy. He improved a lot after 24 hrs so hopefully you will see the same today.

With facebook I am happy for people to add me personally if you follow me on instagram that gives my name anyway

Irregular - I've PM'd you my real name. Want to add me on FB?

I'm happy to do both - FB group and here

Even logged in through my laptop it won't let me change my username i am stuck as user 1234445 whatever forever haha

Don't worry Nev, we won't forget it's you!

Ok, group is up. Pm me your real name if you want in and I'll let you have the group name to request access.

Hi ladies!
Sorry to hear about the poorly babies after their jabs. A has hers in a few weeks and I'm not looking forward to it. She seemed fine after her 12w though!

Re: fb group I'm deffo up for both we'll all have to re introduce ourselves as I won't have a clue who anyone is😆
I can't PM as I'm only using the app to post but my name is India Taylor

Ah ok.

Well group name for anyone wishing to join is TTC#1 The Grads Get Social.

It's a closed group to make sure it's private so I won't accept any requests unless I've been given the name through this thread or via pm. Hope that's ok!

indi Autumn will be fine H is back to normal already, shouting at his purple butterfly on his playmat... lovely name by the way, India was one of our girl choices

irregular I've requested to join. I'm Mollie, as you already know

Feels so weird to become Facebook official. Bonded by sickness, heartburn, sleepless nights and baby shit

Why is my OH completely fucking incapable of preventing H from crying for 20 minutes while I have a bath? I'm finding myself getting pissed off with him again. And his parents.
