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.

Hope you have a nice time at pil lulu.

I lost weight after ds and have carried on loosing it, think it's all the stress

I feel like I've not had chance to really enjoy him. Although he's miles better than he was he's still off his food and has an awful cough that's making him sick when he does eat but I suppose there's nothing I can do now, he's been seen by the GPS,HV and two hospitals so surely they can't be wrong.

I organised my own hen do, I think it's a bit cruel getting someone to do it for you because it's so stressful! I went to a medieval banquet at a really fancy hall, it was all candle lit and was really fun.

I have my friends strict instructions for my hen do in terms of style. Cocktails and tailored dresses, they did well. Booked a lovely hotel in the centre of where we lived at the time, I had a massage there then we all got ready to go to a nice classy cocktail place. We had a class in cocktail making there, dinner, followed by a bit of a dance in a more living place a few doors down.

They included some typical hen bits in at dinner, managed to get my DH to answer a bunch of questions before that I had to guess his answers (stereotypically embarrassing but was good fun). Rounded up with a night in the hotel which was just a short walk away, they knew I hate walking around.

I'm hopeful that I'll be able to shrink down after birth, I lost a stone in the first trimester and I think without the bump I'm smaller now than I was. Going to buy a belly bandit to help bring everything back in quickly,

Law Ducky :( I know how u feel. I feel like Since DS turned 1 ive been able to enjoy him more as he's not I'll a lot anymore and last time he was in hospital was when he was about 10 months old. He seems better now. And ur DS will be better soon and u will be able to enjoy him :)

Oo Tori that sounds rele good! :p what a great idea!

Siarie ur hen do sounds lovely too! Ive been trying to arrange having manicures and massage at a nice hotel in the day too. But her friends are all younge (20-23 years old) so they are all in the party days and all single and stuff. And I know I'm also in that age range but I am an older woman trapped in a 22 year olds body haha and my friend getting married had 2 little girls and is a lot more mature too, so I'm worried that all these things everyone else is trying to Pop in, she's not gonna like it.
It's very stressful

Thts like me cupcake! All my friends just want to party 24/7

I think I'm going through a hard time anyway which is making me more anxious about everything. It's my daughters birthday next week

Oh Ducky, that's very sad It must be a very difficult time of year for you, and even harder having to worry about your DS as well It will get better though, and easier with each year. And as soon as DS is better, I'm sure you'll feel better and begin to have some lovely times with him.

Cupcake, it sounds so stressful having to organise your friend's hen do! Her other friends sound awful! I really feel for you. I've only been to one hen do before and it was dreadful. The theme was Angels and Devils (you can imagine!) and we went out in Nottingham too and ended up at Liberties! LIBERTIES!!! At least it's burnt down now so no fear of you ending up in there on your friend's hen do (although I suppose there are plenty of equally grimy places that her friends will drag you to!) If she asked you to organise it, her friends should just let you get on with it and stop interfering. If I were you, I'd refuse to wear the silly tutu thing, or wear jeans with it! I'm sure your friend will understand.

I'm getting concerned about my weight. I didn't put any on in the first two trimesters, but now it's slowly creeping up on me. A pair of jeans that I was wearing a month ago don't fit any more. I really don't want to go up a whole dress size (or more!), but I can hardly exercise at the moment what with the PGP and now feeling exhausted all the time from lack of iron. I haven't even got out of my pyjamas today! I've been trying to find out exercise that you can do with PGP but it looks like I'll have to be referred to a chiropractor before starting anything, which will probably take a while!

Oh Ducky its a really hard time for u at the moment :( sending lots of hugs Ur way

Lill are u sure u didn't burn it down on the hen do haha!! Well thankfully ive told them they won't be seeing me wearing the tutu as im not going to nottingham with them as DH is at work at 5:30am the next morning so ill be going home to sleep ready to look after DS in the morning
And Tori is right about the swimming it's really good when pregnant too

Haha good news!
I'll have a look at swimming

Would any one like some practise with a 1 and a half year old??
Because he's driving me insane today! Toddler tantrums galore! Constant moaning and dinner being chucked across the room! (Literally!)
I need my bed :(

Lil I felt like that in the third tri, it will soon fall off after the birth

Hope ds has calmed down cupcake!

I'm scared to say it (because every time I said it so far things have later taken a tube for the worse) but ds seems a million times better this afternoon he even have me a HUGE smile he's still coughing badly but I don't think it's upsetting him as much now

Sounds lovely tori how exciting your first holiday with the new arrival!

I have ordered a sling so hopefully I can start getting more housework done

Hi ladies! I'm proud to announce you the birth of Luciano Raffaele this evening at 7:05pm. He's born at 36+4 weeks but is in perfect health! Without epidural nor episio! Yiihhaa! Need some rest but will keep you posted tomorrow ??

woo hoo congrats steph

Omggggg steph!!! Congrats! Do fill us in when you can

Congratulations Steph- that's lovely. You must be so relieved and happy.

DH and I have been out for a drink together tonight and MIL has babysat. It felt a bit odd being out without DS but it was nice being together. Have got back to find DS wide awake on his grandad's knee, quite happy. Why did we hurry back!

Congratulations Steph! Just a couple days early, will they make you stay in until he is 37 weeks? Can't wait to hear what happened!

I keep seeing people going into labour before 40 weeks and now I'm panicking that seems very soon to me!

27 + 1 seems a lot closer than the other side of the twenties felt.

Siarie it must be this thread!

Who's next?

Whoa!!!!! Steph!! What! Congratulations! Omg what a shock I didn't expect that! :p well done! Eeeeee another little baba! :D congratulations !

Wow, congrats Steph!

I had my last meeting with the consultant today before DS arrives - booked in for an induction on 25 February, if he hasn't arrived by himself before then!

It's good DS is feeling better Ducky :) and slings are good! I won one off a bidding sight when I was pg in July. Still have it in the cuboard.

Tori the night light sounds like a good idea :) I need to get DS one
As the one he has now is very dull and he gets scared of the dark.

Lulu I bet it was nice being out without DS for a bit :) hope ur having a nice time.

Siarie it can happen at any time! Lol

Wow bears not Long at all then!! :)

I'm so jealous of u all having ur babies :( I'd be due soon as well if all went to plan. 4th April.

We are in bed. DH has just said 'It's all pretty straightforward really isn't it- this baby thing.' He is reading a football site on his iPad and looking very smug. It is like tempting fate- I bet DS does not sleep tonight and we are up all night.
