TTC first baby thread 26

[Annny27]

Hello all, setting up a new thread for us old timers to keep up and stay sane on the ttc journey!

@MIW01 omg that’s amazing news. I’m so happy for you. Is this a natural go?

@XjustagirlX thank you. Yes! The month after IVF round 3! After all that . . . It happens naturally! I think the IVF stimulates your own hormones into gear tbh. And also my fiancée's sperm DNA COMET test improved.

@MIW01 congratulations! So delighted for you ❤️ How are you feeling?

That's fantastic news @MIW01 :D naturally aswell how miraculous 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@Lozzlepop pregnancy has been good but I am starting to feel a bit tired and achy now in third trimester! What gestation was he born?

@Annny27 yeah that’s understandable when are you finishing up at work? He was born at 39+6 🤣 so nice and punctual! Do you know what you are having or is it a surprise (sorry if you’ve already said)

@Lozzlepop officially finishing 38 weeks but I have some holiday days that I might take before I am really struggling! When did you finish? 39+6 is a lovely time to arrive!

It will be a surprise!

@Annny27 I finished up at Just over 37 weeks, the early morning and hours commit each way was killing me! Ahhhhh how exciting 🥰🥰

@Annny27 @Lozzlepop thank you! I can't wait to see your bundles of joy 😃I jist ordered kore tests cause I just want to see that BFP again! Mad isn't it! I've got my 1st appointment with the diabetes midwife on Monday amd she's going to book me in for a 7 week scan

@MIW01 heres the wee dude, we just learnt how to smile! That’s so exciting, I’m honestly so delighted for you, will be great to see your wee bean at the scan!!!!

@Lozzlepop he's gorgeous 😍 are you in the newborn honeymoon phase?

@MIW01 I am welling up here 🥹 I am absolutely over the moon for you, you've had such a journey! & naturally too!! Amazing 😍😍😍

@Lozzlepop aww he's beautiful 🤩 I had this outfit for my DS 😍

@Annny27 hope you're doing well! With my first I finished up 35 weeks & 2nd 29 weeks 😂 definitely give yourself some free time before baby comes. It's really tough at the end. More than I ever imagined.

@XjustagirlX hope you're keeping well

@Lozzlepop awww he’s gorgeous. Such a cheeky smile.

@whatsthecraic91 im 8+5 today. I’ve been suffering with nausea not HG but I feel hungover! I’ve got my booking in appointment with the midwife on 19th august. I’ve been discharged from the ivf clinic so my next scan is the 12 week one. I will probably get a private scan around 10 weeks because 7 to 12 weeks is a really long time after ivf.

@XjustagirlX oh no, nausea is horrible but symptoms are such a good sign! Puts your mind at ease doesn't it 🙂 yes definitely get a private scan for reassurance. I don't know how people wait until 12 weeks for their first! Such a long time x

Been diagnosed with a complete miscarriage today! Nothing in uterus at scan and negative pregnancy test. Happened on Sunday when I was 6+2 we've just been reassured we can get pregnant so keep trying and so I've ordered another ovulation kit so I can work out my cycle.

@MIW01 I am so sorry for your loss ♥️♥️ take time to grieve and get something to remember your little one by ♥️♥️

@MIW01 oh no. Im so sorry for you. I couldn’t believe it when I saw your message. It’s so unfair. Take some time to grieve ❤️

@XjustagirlX thank you. I know life really sucks a lot and has done for quite a number of years now but we are feeling more hopeful now, finally.

@Annny27 thank you, I know you've had your fair share of heartache with miscarriages and I'm so happy that you've finally got a little one well on the way! I can't wait to see a picture when they finally arrive. How are you feeling?

@MIW01 oh I'm so sorry to read this 😞 life can be so cruel. Amazing that you now know you can pregnant xx

Thank you @whatsthecraic91

I started bleeding again today 9 days after the miscarriage bleeding. I called the midwife triage and they said like to be a period. I'm now really struggling physically, mentally and emotionally.

@MIW01 it's such a horrible process both physically, emotionally and mentally :(

With my first miscarriage I had bleeding for a few weeks and also had positive tests right up untill my period arrived 5 weeks later! With my 2nd miscarriage It was much quicker and painless and period arrived 4 weeks later. Have you take a pregnancy test to check that the levels are decreasing? Mine weren't initially and I had to go for a scan and they said a small bleed was left over and that it would either start soon or would come out with my next period (it came with my next period!)

How is everyone doing? @Annny27 @MIW01 @thislittlebird @whatsthecraic91 @Lozzlepop

Hi @XjustagirlX all good here thanks, little man is just over 3 months old and we are off on our first family holiday this weekend! How’s things with you?

Hello 🥰

37 weeks tomorrow so we are on the final countdown to baby!

@Lozzlepop oh wow 3 months! How has it been for you?

@XjustagirlX how are you doing now? Xx

@Annny27 omg 37 week, congratulations you are on the home straight! How have you been feeling? All set for the next stage? How exciting!! I know- the days go so fast!! It’s definitely had it’s challenges and there’s been a few tears when I’ve found it tough (mainly from sleep deprivation) but all in all I think he’s a pretty good baby! We started a bedtime routine just before 8 weeks and he’s usually up once in the night plus we get him up for a dream feed. He’s a happy little boy and getting big and it fills my heart with such joy- it really is the best job!! Xx

@Lozzlepop @Annny27 im 17 weeks tomorrow. I suffered badly with sickness and fingers crossed it is just starting to ease off now. Not got much of a belly just look very bloated haha.

37 weeks! Wow so close. Do you feel ready?
