April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

[Cupcake92]

New thread girlies!! :) hope this is okay.

H just keeps telling me how tierd he is :-| I was thinking about ice lulu will ask the mw tomorrow when she comes to weigh him. He just ate 70ml in one go, he's not done that for a few days now. Just hope he keeps improving then I will tackle his colic!

That's a lovely hammock!!! I want one! Haha

Cupcake... I can't check ATM as I'm on the app now but did you just say DH tidied?!?!? What's going onnn?! How is ds? Was there a reason for him being awake so early? He was ill before wasn't he? Or is this just what we all have to look forward to?

Well, DS is now lying between us in bed wide awake. He has had his feed and been changed and winded and is lying looking quite content. DH is watching him. He is going in his moses basket in a minute. He is making little grunty noises. He should be asleep, little horror.

We are going to register him tomorrow afternoon.

Yes Ducky dh tidied!!!! Shock! :O and no idea why DS woke up that early just happens once in a while lol! hope DS is okay today.

OMG OMG in in the paper todayyyyyy!!!!!! www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2901288/Thought-left-shock-age-oversharing-Women-pregnancy-test-videos-YouTube.html

Click the link and my story is at the bottom :) there's 2 other women in the article too.
Can't belive It! Going to buy the paper today for the full article so excited!! :)

That's ace cupcake

Thank u! :) just note it does say DH is my fiancé as a lot of the family don't know we are married. As they wouldn't approve since it wasn't done properly lol.
But me and DH are going to have a big proper wedding done right this time! We decided on summer 2017 :) gives us 2 years to save and slowly get everything we need. And hopefully by that time we will have 2 children to walk down the isle with me :)

Let us know how DS's weigh in goes today Ducky :)

Oh I remember you saying your having a weddin cupcake!

Will let you know, just waiting for midwife. He was an angel last night tho, slept for 3 hours at a time

Oh I don't feel well this morning, oh dear.

Ahh cupcake I remember you talking about this now. Interesting article but I hate how DM always put a spin on things, were the video uploads part of a scheme with clearblue? Or am I totally thinking or something different.

Weddings are so so much fun to plan, i loved doing it. I Spent so much time on Etsy and other places planning, pretty much the same as I'm doing for the baby planning actually

As I write this I'm starting to feel better now. I must have waited too long to eat breakfast this morning.

Reading ducky and lulu's posts are making me so excited to meet my little one. I do hope it all goes well, I'm keeping my eye on movements now after you telling me about your experience ducky. If I don't feel her move for a bit I put some music on or eat something sweet to get her to kick.

I just watched some of your videos, hope you don't mind

Id say just remember to get checked if you are EVER worried about movements or even if you feel uneasy get it checked

I lost count of the amount of times that I got checked out haha

Brilliant Ducky! Well done DS for sleeping well! :) and well it was worth it getting checked out all those times wasn't it Ducky :) he's here safe now.

And Siarie as far as I know it wasn't joint with clearblue but they seem to have rele shown cloearblue off in the pics! So who knows! I can't wait to plan a proper wedding with a proper dress! That's what im looking forward to, a proper wedding dress :) and to have all the famiky there. I regret rushing into it tho, wish id done it properly the first time.

Hope u feel okay now Siarie

I feel kind of weird, I think I might be a little anaemic so going to have a few iron tablets today. Usual signs, short of breath, I can feel my heartbeat, cold, tired and I look pale.

I have an easy day today, a cleaner is coming for four hours and were going to order takeaway later. Kind of annoying as my usual cleaner couldn't make it so I'll have to show the new one where everything is and she won't be the same, had to do that last time too as it was christmas and the lady must have been off.

What CD are you now Cupcake? It's hard though ducky as you don't want to make a fuss although over nothing or at least thats how I always feel. Not just about pregnancy but in general I always try and just make do when I don't feel well.

Actually I think maybe I'm sick and anaemic, i feel like I might be sick but it doesn't feel like MS did. Knowing me I probably picked something up from the GP yesterday!

I was anemic before pregnancy and it got worse when I was pg, can you ask your gp for a blood test siarie? They can prescribe iron tablets for you.

He's put weight on I'm really surprised. Mw is going the hospital to speak to the drs to see if they have any ideas about it/how long it lasts

Siarie I'm with ducky ask for a blood test :) hope u feel better soon im on CD 18 now :)

Oh that's fab Ducky!!! :) see uve been doing all the right things. How lucky is DS to have u aye!

Don't know if any of u have read the comments on the article?
They are so so so mean. And downright rude and disrespectful! Can't believe what people can be like, it disgusts me!

I read some of them Cupcake, Daily Mail comments are always like that. Don't take any of them as real life opinions, they don't know the amount of people who using the internet to document their TTC journey and the benefits of it.

Without being able to join in on mums net I wouldn't have had anyone to talk to while I was TTC.

I have a repeat prescription for iron tablets already (doctors gave it to me because I get anaemic all the time). But I will get my blood tested I think when I see the midwife next Monday for my 25 week appointment, just so I know if it really is low.

I feel a bit better now though. Oh great news about the weight gain Ducky! What a little star.

Pay no notice of them cupcake, people can be assholes.

Mw arranged for ds to be checked at hospital, they think he may have a milk intolerance they also said I need to not feed him more than 3 hourly

No I take no notice at all :)

Ducky quite a lot of babies have milk intolerance, they do special formula at the supermarket for it. Think aptimil and Sma do the special one. Most babies grow out of it as they get older :)
And omg so u have to Wait 3 hours each time to feed him? My DS would have hated that! He was fed every 1 and a half to 2 hours! was I not supposed to do that? oops!

I don't know the consultant made me feel bad, he said currently he's eating over 3 times what he should be but all the midwifes and HV knew how much I was feeding him and never said anything. I just feel a bit lost with it at the moment. I have read a couple of things that say over feeding can cause a few things that he has :-/ why is it so difficult!

They said if it's the intolerance then they will put his formula on prescription. Do you know if they grow out of it? Or will he have to have dairy free stuff when he's older

How much is yours eating lulu?

omg cupcake you're famous! I didn't just stalk you on fb

ducky he's obviously hungry, he wouldn't just eat and eat - I was told my milk was too rich with dd2 as she was putting on too much weight you can't win!

hope everyone else is doing well x

So based on my book it says formula fed should be 3-4 hours whereas breastfeeding 1-1.5 hours.

It's part of why I'm looking forward to just bottle feeding now. I doubt my body will be able to produce a milk supply that's sufficient anyway (thyroid issues) and I also get to drink champagne again.

I miss champagne so very much

That's crazy Ducky! I wasn't told I was feeding DS too much either :s I mean he's a chunky lad but he's not fat. He's always liked his food but he was a big baby anyway when born
I was told always feed on demand when they are newborns and never leave newborns to cry.... So... What do u do? that's confusing. Tbh I think if they are happy then ur doing everything right! :) and babies grow out of milk intolerance Ducky.

Iam! Haha! I'm not famous! :p
feeling slightly special being fb stalked!

Siarie I cant drink champagne !! :( :( every time I do I have awful stomach ache it's terrible :(

You have to drink naice champagne cupcake cheap stuff gives me headaches, or does the nice stuff do that as well? The stuff we buy is our treat, we don't drink weekly so usually splash out once a month. Although we have something very special saved for D Day!

I may have left you a smily face as a comment on one of your latest videos

Ducky your DS might grow out of the dairy intolerance so I wouldn't worry too much.

I think I have SPD, I thought it was ligament but it's not. After reading about SPD it sounds exactly like what I have.

Going to talk to my midwife about it Monday. It's already getting more painful now, it's flaring up without walking these days and I can't bend to put socks or trousers on without it killing.

Ducky didn't you have it? Has it gone since birth?

I had it siarie and it went straight after the birth
