April TTC girls, the thread where everyone gets their BFP! :-)

[Ducky23]

Shiny new thread

I think AF is finally about to arrive! Have some spotting this morning so most likely she'll be here in a few hours :)

She kept you waiting cupcake! She can be very mean. How are you feeling about it all? Xx

When she's here full blown I'll feel relieved Siarie as I thought something was wrong with me haha! will be nice to get here out the way :)

Will you still be having a TTC break? At least you know where you are now cupcake it could be stress makin her late?

DH said he wants to carry on TTC-ing. But this next month we will just take it easy. So if it happens it happens, If not then that's okay too. No charting Ov or temps etc hahaa. Just a relaxed cycle :)

That will be good for you cupcake maybe make a note somewhere of when AF is expected (even though yours seems to have a mind of it's own!) and then not look at it, not pay attention to cd's or dpo's and see how it goes.

Is ds sleeping better now?

I'm so tierd! Get up around 3 times for the toilet, a few times with heartburn and constantly with my hips.! Can't complain though as long as my baby is wriggly and healthy! Had a bad scare this morning when I realised I hadn't felt him move! sat down and had some coke and that seems to have woken him up!

Good idea Ducky :) I'll do that.
But AF seems to have gone back into hiding... I have no spotting now. There's nothing. Just lots of wet and creamy cm. but lots of it(tmi sorry! But it's been like This for a few days!) im looking forward to a relaxws cycle tho :)

Haha well about DS he was sleeping amazingly recently! But last night he woke at 1:50am and didn't go back to sleep till 6:30am!! Then woke up and hour and a half later but he's been good every other night! :)

Aww bless u Ducky, but like u say it's good he's being wriggly! :D not long left to go!

That's strange cupcake! Was it full on AF before?

Ohhh noo I have a feeling I'm going to miss sleep!

My bump looks very low today...

No wasn't proper AF just but of brown blood when I wiped. Which usually means AF is about to start. It's just taking a bit longer today. Hopefully she'll be in full force by tonight.

Do u think baby is dropping then Ducky?

Oh Cupcake that might be implantation bleeding! I had that several days after implantation as it takes a while to get down there lol.

Ducky my hips are starting to ache, any recommendations for sleeping? I'm sticking a pillow between my legs for now but It's so much less comfy to sleep nowadays!

If I sleep on my back It feels weird, I try not to as I know you are meant to sleep on your side but I wouldn't want to sleep on my back now anyway. Feels like this weird weight pushing down.

Does AF usually show like that?

Siarie unfortunately there is nothing midwife has said it's your joints loosening and stretching to make way for baby so it may help if you can get anything to put slight pressure on your pelvis, like a support belt or bump belt. She also said try taking 2 paracetamol before bed and has said to try sitting on a birthing ball

Siarie as much as I'd love for it to be implantation bleeding I'm 100% certain it's not. It's deffo AF just taking a while to become full blown. And as for the sleeping its a problem that can't be fixed :( I remember the pains so well and if I even dared to turn on my back I could hardly breath !
Like ive said before I ended up sleeping sat upright on the sofa for a month before DS was born as it hurt too much to lie down.

Ducky do u have a belly belt?
I never had one and everyone told me that I should have got one as it was a lot of pressure off the pelvis etc.
and AF usually spots then an hour to 2 hours later its full blown.

Oh darn, when I go out for a walk the next day It's super painful on the inside of my hips to move. I guess it's going to get worse then, well it's better than being sick!

Oh well I still have hope yet Cupcake! I'll have a look at a belly belt went I get bigger.

Baby clothes are so cute!

I don't have one but tbh I was told to get one from early on due to sciatica. Il have to look into that

I'm going to try hypnotherapy as I'm planning on no pain releif for the birth

I can't wait for u all to have ur babies it's so exciting! :) worth all the pain and stress at the end :)

I can't wait to not feel so stressed! ha il probably be worse after he's born!

Lol babies do cause some stress! I had quite a few stressful moments with DS. They do things to test us I think :) but the relief when they are finally out and healthy is like a huge weight off ur shoulders, (and stomach haha)
I had instant relief when DS was born! Felt so light!! Was wonderful!

Finally AF is in full force!

At least you know where you are cupcake.

Sairie, I sometimes sleep with a pillow between my knees. On the whole though it hasn't been too bad. I can still lie on my back for some of the time - if I'm reading. I couldn't sleep on my back.
I haven't had any hip or pelvic pain but I do some running usually- about 3 miles once or twice a week- so whether that has helped or not I don't know.
It's the wriggling and kicking that is driving me mad. He seems to wake up when we go to bed. Last night I dozed off on my side behind DH. Baby kicked so hard he woke DH up. He was full of beans - baby not DH.

Sorry Cupcake. But at least you can stop now until you know where you are with DH at New Year. How is it going?

In a way I just feel so relieved as I just didn't know what was going on.
As I said next month just a calm chilled cycle no real trying. Just watch I'll end up conceiving next cycle
N Lulu it's going okay atm. DH got up early this morning as I had been awake most the night with DS and DH told me to go back to bed and sleep for the rest of the morning. DH has never done that before!

That was nice of him Cupcake- thoughtful

DH is being nice too. I was so tired this morning. He brought tea and toast up to bed for me and ran me a bath. It was only 6.30 by then. It made me feel better and I have managed OK at work.

But I am sooo tired tonight. Will be in bed soon. Baby is wide awake
