Getting Ready For Baby Challenge Thread 5

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

The fastest moving TTC thread where we are all trying to get ourselves ready for our bundles of joys. Come and join the madness.

Seven - thanks for sorting the list. Maybe we add a section for those of us who are waiting for a bit i.e. Not Humping or whatever (I'll be in that list until August). Not sure who else? grumpy?

Mummy we will miss you take care - I totally understand the feeling I had the same last cycle xx

Well hb I am not sure I can be counted as waiting now that we DTD on Peak day!! Seven if you haven't already done it I guess you can put my BFP due 2 April which will be 14dpo.. this is cycle 3 off the pill

Awh mummy sorry you're feeling like that 😔 hope to see you back here soon

Good thinking parsnips - I'm on it...We shall have the humping, the humped and the not humped yet... open to suggestions if someone can think of a better title for that group! ha!

Just skimmed over the thread from the past week to catch up on list. So much has happened!

Thanks seven get humping!

Mummy i can only imagine how tough it must be with it being constantly on your mind for so long. Really hope the bfp comes quickly for you. Enjoy your time away and I hope you can relax. 💐☕️

mummy mind yourself lovely and thanks for all the support, hoping for your BFP very soon and your right to focus on the rest of life as well as ttc! Sending you much love and positivity!

buzz I'm the 11th so we are close too! Glad you are feeling good!

parsnips a Hump on hold section sounds just the ticket! When is your safari again? I would love to go on safari, always been a dream of mine!

I feel like Crap today, so much nausea it's awful, thought I was gonna throw my guts up in aldi.... No idea what I bought for the weeks shop because the sight of everything made me want to throw up, I hope it passes quickly , no idea how I'll get through work feeling like this. OH is being so lovely and good to me though so that's helping!

mrs that's so exciting! So sorry about the sickness :( sounds awful!

I can't believe you went food shopping mrsc. I didn't cook/shop for at least 6 weeks. Starting to feel slightly better now, please don't let this jinx it!! And starting to want to eat. But Buzz, I've lost half a stone since I found out, so it's very possible. Took me into normal bmi range, so hoping I can use that as a base so I get a wider range of weight gain I'm allowed later!! ;)

Oh that's good news dancing! are you feeling better now?
Maybe I should start thinking about online shopping in preparation 😂

I took off people who haven't spoken in ages...sorry if you're still there! I don't mean to offend anyone, just no idea where you are up to.

3 babies due in October and 4 in November! Yay :)

Thanks seven you're great :)

Brilliant seven thanks! And actually makes me feel much better seeing the hump on hold section as there's a fair few of us waiting. Sometimes feels like everyone is in the throes of TTC!

Great work!

On a separate note I really need to get back in the diet swing of things again. I had managed to lose ten pounds and I've put seven back on! SEVEN! I feel like a manatee! I'm going to the races next weekend and I'm actually worried the dress won't fit so I'm going to have no carbs this week and drink gallons of water and hope for the best.

I need some diet motivation asap!

parsnips you can do this! I'm sure you'll fit in your dress! Have you tried it on recently? Good luck! I've just eaten a Krispy Kreme donut 😔 and having takeaway tonight oops

Buzz i am so happy for you! Wed2b do really lovely dresses cheap that you leave on the day with if you do need to have another dress!

Jupiter I cant wait to see your digi tomorrow!

Mummy I am sorry you feel so down but please come back and see us even if you just want to have a massive rant!

So i've had a shit day... the fridge freezer has broken in our flat and i've just had enough! We have only been in here since mid november and the following list has happened:

• wasing machine broke and needed replacing (took until jan)
• bottom oven broke
• hob broke
• excessive damp problem
• boiler broke
• all lightbulbs went
• smoke alarm broken
• fridge freezer broken

Now i have always been an unlucky person but fucking hell this takes the piss! And my pregnant self just cannot take it anymore!

We have also had bailiffs turn up for the landlord twice...

confused that sounds so Crap, how can the landlord get away with that, leaves you in a Crap position then when he won't fix what needs to be done. Not sure on the laws over there but that should be illegal! Definitely stress u don't need!

Oh confused that sounds absolutely shit :( I'm so sorry! Are you hoping to move? Stress that you really don't need :(

Well the management company arnt open at weekends so there is nothing we can do... i dont think we can leave until 30th April earliest but we are deffo going to see if there is somewhere else we can move to.

We love this flat we have done it all up to be all homely but tbh if its this unreliable how are we meant to bring up children here!

DH has wanted to move since the damp problem but i have wanted to stay as i have moved 5 times in the last 3 years but now even i have had enough lol

The list is amazing seven thank you, absolutely love the ‘hump on hold’ Does grumpy need to go into humping though now?

Sorry you’ve been feeling so yucky MrsC, what a nightmare. Online shopping is the way forward

confused how rubbish, I’m so sorry you’re facing all that - the last thing that you need at the moment. Time to start looking for a new property. Will definitely share my digital if people don’t mind :)

parnsips good luck with the dieting this week, sounds like a plan! It’s probably mainly water retention anyway so will fall off.

I keep getting a sort of left hand side cramping pain still. It’s a bit like ovarian pain actually (like at ovulation, I had it a few days after ovulation too) - it’s really not that painful at all and not all the time. Okay do we think? It might be digestive to be honest as I am so bloated and windy!! Don’t want to panic with thoughts of ectopic or anything..

Ahh I don't know lol.. BFP would be due 2 April, assuming I ovulate tomorrow. Going to do an OPK when I get home shortly to see if that is also turning positive

I really want to do a digital too jupiter

Let us know grumpy, want to see how CB matches up with normal OPK sticks.

You should do one tomorrow buzz - the lines on your tests today were pretty strong. Not sure what the sensitivity of the CB digitals are. I have got the one without the weeks calculator which I think is less sensitive than the digitals that do...DH and I so excited to see it in front of us, might make this a bit more real. How are you feeling this evening?? x
