TTC & Pregnancy

[CatiaR]

Hi ladies,

the other thread is full now!

I will try and add everyone back in but please check if I’ve missed anyone.

@Ncl31 really hope that this is a sticky bean 🥰

@Huriya hiya lovely! 20 weeks already! Time goes fast and a baby boy how exciting. Thank you only 5 and half weeks now so still feels unreal!

@Hotmalibu94 , @Hollie1802 , @etaketak1991 , @ginny93 hopefully you ladies are all doing well?

@Roseberry22, @EK37 , @Myna13 , @NLmum4 @thejollytrolleydolly good luck for this cycle!

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a while!

@etaketak1991 Huge congratulations!! She is beautiful 😊 I'm glad everything went well!

@Hotmalibu94 how are you and little Evelyn doing?

@CatiaR fingers crossed it doesn't go on too long for you, hopefully just enough time to get your assignment done!!

I am getting on ok, my incision is still pretty sore but am now able to go on walks and get around so that is a massive win, still not able to drive for another couple of weeks which is frustrating as I'm going mad being stuck in the house and relying on others to take me anywhere!!

I can't believe George is 4 weeks old now! Where does the time go!! Here's a little pic of him 😊

How is everyone else getting on?

Hey @Hollie18 😊 we are good! We've been going through a fussy stage but I think I've figured out the cause so I just need to test my theory 😅 she's an absolute beaut though, I'm very lucky with her, she's a star. I'm a bit worried about having a second baby in the future as I don't think they'll be anywhere near as well behaved as Evie 😅

I'm glad you're getting there! The healing from a c section must be frustrating but hopefully not much longer now 😊
George is such a little cutie 😍 absolutely gorgeous 😍

@CatiaR hope you're getting on ok!!!

@Hotmalibu94 after 3 days in labour I gave in to an epidural and currently 9cm and will meet little one today 😊

Ahhhh @CatiaR this is so exciting! Good luck lovely!!

Thanks all, little Amelia was born today 5th of August at 4:24pm weighing 6lb16

2 weeks early at 38+3 days

@CatiaR congratulations!!!! A girl! 😍 Amazing news, Im so happy for you! I hope it all went ok and that you're both doing well x

@CatiaR Congratulations! She's beautiful! I hope you're both doing well

Congratulations @CatiaR shes beautiful!

So lovely to see all the little ones doing well as well 😍 x

@CatiaR omg congratulations!! She's beautiful 😍 another girl! I can't believe we've only had one boy so far!

@CatiaR congratulations!!! She is gorgeous hope you are all doing well

Hi all! How is everyone doing?
We had vaccinations on Monday, luckily she's been doing really well since then but she did scream the place down when it happened! And she hated the Calpol 😂 two months old on Saturday, where has that time gone!

Hi! We’re doing well thanks and you?

two months how the time flies! Little one is 2 weeks old now and doing very well 😊 still sleeping more during the day than at night but not getting up anymore often than I needed to wee while pregnant so it’s ok 🤣

all discharged from the midwife and going to register her next week so all exciting times and figuring things out along the way.

almost back to normal apart from the stitches I had but could be worse! That ended up being such a long labour (more the latent phase than anything but phew it was painful af till I got my epidural 🤣)

@EK37 how you been doing? Are you due soon? I can’t recall how far along you’re now

I’m so sorry I’ve been absent from here for a little while and missed your news @CatiaR
she is just gorgeous, I’m glad to hear you’re both doing well.

@CatiaR ahh glad you are doing well! I am so scared for birth 😂

32 weeks now so on the home stretch! Found the last few weeks quite rough as I have got bigger and the weather has been hot so I have embraced the cooler days the last few days!

@Ncl31 how are you getting on lovely?

Sorry, haven't opened MN in forever! Loving all of the baby pics 😍

Congratulations @CatiaR , she's gorgeous 🥰

@Hotmalibu94 I cried last time when my first got vaccinated and howled the place down 😂 Poor things, but it's for the best!

We're doing well, Helena is 3.5 weeks now and is a very sleepy girl! My first never slept and wanted to be held all the time, so very grateful to experience a baby with some level of chill 😂 I'm finding breastfeeding tough again but we've been working on it and she's been referred with a borderline tongue tie to a clinic so hopefully that helps.

Hope everyone else is well x

I’m really struggling, my EDD was this coming Friday so I’m dreading that. I’m at work and have pre warned the girls it’s coming up incase I have a wobble.
looking forward to hopefully having a plan from our fertility appointment next week. Even if it is to cancel our Mauritius holiday to pay for IVF then I’m cool with that, I just want to feel like we’re moving forwards.

@Ncl31 oh bless you, be kind to yourself and let yourself have the wobble if you feel it coming it’s only natural to feel that way! Hopefully the coming appointment will bring you the plan you want and you can move forward! will be thinking of you! Xx

@CatiaR ah fab news that you're all doing well! 😊 Are you formula or breast feeding? 😊

@EK37 not long to go now! Glad you're a bit more comfortable in the cooler weather now! Try not to fear the birth (easier said than done I know!), have you looked into hypnobirthing techniques? I found it really helpful. I feel like you hear some right horror stories when it comes to births but mine was pretty lovely!

@etaketak1991 oh it was awful, I was really tearing up 🥲 love that she's a good sleeper for you, must make it easier when you have another child! Hopefully the tongue tie gets sorted 😊 Evie is normally a fairly good sleeper at night but last night she decided to be a bit more tricky than usual 😂 still only 2 wake ups but wouldn't go back to sleep after them like she usually would 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Ncl31 aww lovely I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself and allow yourself the wobble! It must be so hard. Good news that your appointment is soon, gives you something to work towards I imagine! I hope it all goes well for you x

@Hotmalibu94 i haven’t really looked into it too much, I have listened to a couple of podcasts but not done any courses or anything! I am going to get a tens machine soon cause I have heard they can be really helpful! I need to start thinking about packing the hospital case!

@Hotmalibu94 breastfeeding only and doing well for now with the occasional poor latch but yeah. Going to slowly start pumping cause it can get uncomfortable and for later my husband be able to give her a bottle.

@EK37 you got this! I was pretty worried about how I’d cope and even tho it was not fun at all I managed to try all sorts of pain relief and birthing pool etc before I gave in to an epidural which was the best thing ever might I add lol 😂

I hired a tens machine which I don’t regret but i didn’t have back labour at all so didn’t actually help much. Best of luck I’m sure you’ll be great!

Glad to hear the babies are doing well! I'm into our second cycle TTC and 4dpo (going off best estimate), so now just stuck waiting.

@Ncl31 Take care of yourself. I hope your appointment goes well and gives you a good plan to move forward with.

Hello ladies - does this look like a evap

@NLmum4 I think I can see something there but it's so faint it's hard to tell. Was it within the time window? How many dpo are you?

Yes in the time frame- according to my pre mum tracker I'm 10dpo. Will test again in few days .
