Getting Ready for Baby Challenge -Pt 2

[confusedat23]

Just a follow on from our 1st thread!

Theres is our motherhen, we are all just a bunch of crazy ladies either TTC or waiting to start!

So many typos in that post! Autocorrect is the worst!

Ooo that is interesting mrs are you not in the uk?

i know i don't want a C-Section or epidural unless i have to!... i don't react well in situations where i an numbed as such so i know i wouldn't be comfurtable...

However during labour i'm sure i will feel completely differently! Lol

You may not confused my labour was fine :) There's a lot of luck involved I think!

I cannot fathom how anyone would not take every drug possible to get rid of pain in this day & age, there is absolutely no way i would let myself be in pain if there was a way i could prevent it haha!

Not liking this not POAS business, not that i have anything to POAS for at the moment. I have a bag full of OPK & HPT's and no reason to use any of them for anything at the moment

:( I just had a crying in the loos at work moment. Stupid hormones!!

Oh Dancing are you okay?

This TTC lark gets a bit much doesn't it sometimes..

I guess it's because all the drugs have some downsides Redpony , except for gas and air. But agree if you're not coping you should take whatever you need! There's no award for suffering through it and people can get too hung up on having a drug free birth.

Oh no Dancing are you ok? What happened?

Yeah I hope I am like you Oyster

Well Red i have heard that I cannot have Gas and Air with Perniscious Anaemia as it can deplete the numbers of B12 you have in your body. As the type I have works a bit like type 1 diabetes it would be really dangerous if this is the case... however I am not a doctor so I am not sure! But I do know I would feel really uncomfurtable with the epidural it would make me panic and so unless I had to I wouldn't opt to have it.

unicorn oh no poor you! Hope u are ok lovely x
Confused I am just across the pond in Ireland, spent some years living in the North West in England though!
I wanted every drug under the sun but couldn't keep still during labour as it went so fast! Like oyster says could be totally fine, my friend came out after giving birth and said she didn't know what the big deal was and that she would do it again tomorrow!

Everything ok unicorn?

I'm with you red - I'd take every drug going! But hoping to avoid the birth bit altogether.

I'm just a big pansy! i was nearly crying at normal cramps the other day I know drugs can have side effects but i figure, they are used daily so must be safe? I've had gas & air a few times & it was useless so i would want something far stronger

Oh Unicorn i hope you are ok

Oh dancing hope you're okay ❤❤

I know red .. I am in so much pain.. I forgot that AF feels like it's in my back! Why!

Ohhh grumpy that doesnt sound nice but at least you have AF now!

Everytime i go to the toilet i wipe & look (TMI!) & I am happy that there is no blood as chance of BFP in a couple of weeks, but on the other hand unhappy that i haven't had AF yet & don't really know what's happening in there

I like to think I have a high pain threshold but I think that might be bollocks. I would take any drug they were offering I think. A water birth sounds amazing and would be good for my joints too. Wow, can't believe we will really have to do all this one day!

Just had my hair cut and coloured. Definitely worth not being pregnant for (well.. almost) :)

Thanks for all the love! I'm ok, just feeling pretty anxious about all this in relation to work things. Everything will work out ok in the end.

Glad you are ok unicorn

Mooncup check this eve confirms this is not spotting ..this is proper real "natural" AF - as if I hadn't guessed after a day of excruciating back pain (I'm sure equivalent to early labour but I must have forgotten how bad it was!!)
Ibuprofen has just kicked in so I can concentrate enough to post here.. counting my blessings cycle has returned so quickly. Looking at Ovia, we managed to exactly avoid the fertile window if there was one! Lol!

See all the hearts.. totally wrong! I'm a month closer to my ideal conception date of May/June I guess

Greetings girls!

Back from honeymooning... Lying on the sofa in two hoodies having a MN catch up! So much chat!

No mozzy bites for me & just one for DH which is a bit frustrating! We were just thinking f**k it, the odds of getting Zika from one bite are SO low but a bit more googling scared us so we'll book a test.

Scared to weigh in...!

Welcome back Hb was it amazing!!
grumpy it's a minefield, ovia isn't always right either so hard to know! Ibuprofen is king! Mind yourself!
unicorn mind yourself too petal

WE DID IT!!!!! Now i just have to do this everty night until Friday/Saturday!

Awhhh yay nice to have you back HB!... when can you get the test done? That is so bloody typical though the he gets bitten just once!

Grumpy with withdrawal bleeding there isnt a pattern between ov abd bleeding (i believe) but really given that mother nature (the almighty woman in charge of this whole ttc business) somehow thought of the idea to give us AF in the first place who the hell knows what shes doing?

So it was textbook ttc sex tonight ladies... on my knees, orgasm after him and laid with my legs up for 20 mins... not that any of this makes a damn bit of difference! Lol

Confused well done on the DTD!! Exciting!

I am sure this isn't withdrawal bleeding as it is 35 days later, painful and red.. (I had brown spotting the first week off pill)
In any case I wasn't on the combined pill so there's no withdrawal bleed (& when I have been on combined pill in the past, the withdrawal bleed is nowhere near as bad as real AF!)

Oh sorry Grumpy thought first AF from mini pill was still a withdrawal... well you ov'd 2 weeks ago then! So Ovia is slightly off... but it took her months and she still hasn't got my cycles right!

Well done confused that's brilliant! Eeek so exciting. I reckon me and DH need to DTD tonight - I don't trust my clearblue 'low' reading when have this much EWCM!!

Grumpy so glad it's turned into proper AF, result.

Hb hope you had the most wonderful honeymoon. I reckon worth paying for the test to put your minds at rest. Then you can start TTC whilst feeling safe.

Welcome back Hb!! Glad you had a lovely time

& yey for dtd confused
