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.

Thts good to hear lulu. They recon it peaks on day 5 (which will be tomorrow) then just gets better. They had to come in and quickly suction down his throat earlier it was horrible

I hope he gets better really quickly ducky! He's been in the wars hasn't he! U all need a bit of a break bless u all.

My DS is still awake and will not go to sleep, DH is already in bed fast asleep and I'm desperate to go bed myself lol

DS is lying on our bed looking very alert and waiting for his daddy to come home from the pub. I am holding off as lng as possible with the bottle so we get more undisturbed sleep. He's not bothered as yet. He has been very cute today, we have had a smile and some pouty trembly lips and he has been on his mat having tummy time. He is trying to lift his head.

He watched a film with DH this afternoon (slept all the way through it but DH says they watched it together).

I went out for a run- just a short one and it knackered me but it felt good doing some gentle runnng again. There was lots of stopping and starting.

Can't sleep tonight, starting to get worried about the delivery
Starting to realise that our life will be totally different in a few days... and not so sure to be ready

Aaww bless him Lulu, sounds like DH is completely in love with DS :) watching films together already :p
And gosh well done u on the run!! I could never have managed it! Still can't I do need to start swimming again tho, DS loves a swim too.

Steph do not worry :) honestly, u should see it as a positive thing, as that helps reduce pain in labour! Sounds silly but it does! If u think of the pain as good pain it doesn't seem bad, and once ur little on is here u'll forget about the worry of ur life changing because u won't be able to remember what ur life was life before :) for me labour was exciting I enjoyed the contractions lol!

Ducky how are things today?

How lovely lulu and well done for the running! I started to excercise again but it's all gone a bit pear shaped with ds being ill!

Steph the delivery will be fine. If you are worried have you thought about hypno birthing? That might help relax you

Cupcake they have reduced his oxygen further, am just waiting for consultant to see what he thinks. I dot want to take him home if his oxygen levels go down like they did before

He's been on it over 24 hours tori but is only on a small bit now, but they said he was doing good and took him off it yesterday and his levels dropped down to 70 something after a few mins

Steph, I was really worried about giving birth. Once I realised I was in labour I think I must already have been a few cm by then and it just sort of takes over and you get on with it. And whilst I would not want to do it very often, it does fade quickly and you start to feel like yourself after about 2 weeks- or I did. The midwife will keep you calm.

I thought it was like OfSTED. You know there will be pain, you do what you can to prepare, you dread it and once they arrive it goes over and you get on with it and there is huge relief at the end of it.

Yep you'll be surprised at how you manage Steph. You just get on with it, you may feel it's never going to end but it's amazing how you do start to forget once baby is on your chest.

With DD1 I got up and my waters had been trickling after I went to the loo, phoned the midwife who came our amazing nd strapped me to a monitor, she said yep you're def in labour let's examine you...wander off with her to the bedroom and as we're chatting she reckons I'm about 2-3cm; she has a rummage and comes out tells me to phone dh as I was 7cm haha! DD1 arrived about 2 hrs after we went to hospital with just gas and air

dd2 - woke up sore, felt sick and actually was, phoned hospital who sent out the midwife. I was pacing with dh when my waters went in a gush, midwife arrives and examined me - I was ready to push! 5 mins after she walked in the door I had delivered dd2 on my living room floor no pain relief at all! Mental

How is the little man ducky

Wow iam, it sounds like two really quick and easy births! I'm actually really looking forward to it now. DP has been reading the Expectant Dad book I got him and has already decided what pain relief I'm having tens machine and gas and air. Pah! He knows how badly I deal with pain as well! I'd quite like to try pethidine but I hate throwing up and worried it will make me.
Hope the duckling's doing ok Ducky. Been thinking of you both
We've been painting the nursery the last couple of days. It's a calming pale green and will have cream/white furniture

Have you got to prepare for hypnobirthing in advance? I reeeeeeally want a water birth (although a bit worried that I'd poo and be sitting in a bath with bits of poo floating about! )

Wow Iam!! Quick births! :o

AF caught me this evening! Sad times :( I hate TTC it's so hard!

Ducky I really hope DS is feeling better

yup DD1 was 6.5 hr all in and DD2 was 1.5

Oh nooo sorry about AF cupcake she's a bitch!!

AF arrived here today too

AF must be doing the rounds. Sorry Cupcake and Iam.

Ducky, how is your little boy? I hope he is feeling better.

I have cooked DH a roast dinner tonight- chicken wrapped with bacon and herbs, little sausages, stuffing, roast potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and mangetout and gravy. He was in seventh heaven. He has taken DS for a walk to walk it off. Both well wrapped up.

AF buddies Iam!! This means we have to be BFP buddies next time!! :)

Omg Lulu can I come to urs for dinner please?!! That sounds so yummy!!

I am so in his good books at the moment! I have loads of browniepoints- he still thinks giving birth was just amazing, DS is the bees knees, sex is back on the agenda, I am back to my usual easy going self and I am cooking a proper dinner! What more could he want?

We are just going to play a MENSA test game to see who scores best. I will beat him......or should I let him win.

Hi everyone

Just letting you know we have been discharged just keeping an eye on his feeding as he hasn't eaten much. Am giving him until around midnight and then will have to call the hosp and let them know

Sorry about the af's

Sorry not to check in properly but am so exhausted my brain is fried.

Am going to have a small glass of wine then go to bed.
