TTC #4 - Join the madness... If you dare!!

[babyblue3]

Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

bumping this up, we are falling off the pages!

I'm 35+1 today, doing ok. Thinking i will have an actual baby soon!

How is everyone?

Scorps, lol, yes a real baby! Yay!!!

Babyblue, glad the baptism went well, the fb pics were beautiful!!!

Christmas is looming fast! I'm pretty organised this year. Depating a trip again this year to lapland uk, weather forcast is awful though! Hmmmmmm.

Lunchtime in the mad house, ds2 is home, ill, temperature...poor little man!

Eeeek Scorps!! Can't believe you're in the final stretch... so exciting!!!

meanbeans... wow lapland sounds amazing, am very jealous!!

I'm coming up to 16 weeks now and have booked a private gender scan for Saturday because I'm nosy and it's my 30th birthday and I wanted to treat myself to seeing my baby again

I'll let you know what flavour I'm having! I have a DS and then 2 DDs so I have no preference. So far I've been thinking girl but now I'm starting to think maybe a boy? Guess I'll find out on Saturday!!

Kat - 16 weeks already!! How are you feeling?? Hope your little bean co-operates on Saturday! Make sure you post the pics!! How exciting for you. Its those moments that make pregnancy sooo special. I used to use my scans as my major milestones... helped to pass the time (especially while worshipping the porcelaine god!!)

Can I join in.

Got my period back today after having ds3 who is 6 1/2 months.

So excited to get it means I can 'Crack on' with no.4

Hi Keawyd yes do join in!

Kat - ooh how exciting..remind us what you have already, is it all girls?

Yep, 4 weeks Friday left. MW check went well, baby all fine and 3/5 engaged.

Hi Keawyd, welcome, sending you lots of babydust for ttc. I hope you get some good news soon.

Kat 16 weeks holy shmoly!!!! That went fast lol! Will you find out the flavour at 20 weeks? I had a gender scan at 16 weeks with dd, I couldn't wait, I was so sure she was a she lol. Next time, I'd be having a suprise...my first ever lol!

Scorps.....not long, are you enjoying the last stages? Not long until L day now!

Sorry for typos in my last post, as this is chill time and not work time I get lazy and don't check my typing lol!

I'm awaiting af.....my back is killing! I think I'm going to try to lose some weight from my disgusting lard arse before thinking about number 4 so I may be hovering here a while, I hope that's ok......heck carrying number 4 may even be easy with a few stone off my butt lol!

Happy Birthday Kat (popped in to see how May were doing ) I hope you had a lovely day.xx

Welcome Keawyd! Best of luck TTC. This thread has been a little quiet lately, but usually we are more of a boisterous bunch. The thread has been going for over a year now, so some of us are TTC#4, some of us are preggo, and some have already had their #4s. So either which way, welcome to the madness!!

It's a GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

Had my gender scan today
Justto remind you I have DS 13, dd1 11 and dd2 6.
Aghhhhhhhhhh can't believe Im having a dd3.

DS is devastated lol but he'll get over it. I'm delighted but would have been with either sex.

Congrats Kat!!!!! What a lovely blessing. I'm sure your DS would have loved a boy, but now your 6 year old will have a sister to play with. Very nice family you will have!!! Now you just have to make it through the next 6 months!! LOL... better you than me!

Exciting news Kat, hope evrything continues well for you! x

Welcome Keawyd and lots of luck and babydust to you!!

Scorps hope you're doing ok, not long to go, usually the hardest time though so I hope you are being looked after. x

Well ds is settling into our mad family well and his 4 sisters think he's the 'bee knees' and I needn't have worried about the lack of boy clothes as I have been given lots of second hand clothes which is excellent!
Really enjoying him and I'm pleased that there is no jealousy.....wonder how long that will last!

Hello to everyone else and hope you're all ok.

Kat!!! YAY!!!!! Huge congratulations, you must be so chuffed! Enjoy the pregnancy. So now you can start thinking about names!!!! I remember finding out at 16 weeks that DD was a girl, I floated around for at least a week!

Mrsd, 4 sisters, he's a lucky little man, he will always get so much fuss!

I'm soooooooo broody!!!! It's so cruel having to wait to ttc and even when I can I will be scared to death that something will go wrong/be wrong. So much to do in the meanwhile anyway just a bit grrrr that I'm on hold lol.

Hope everyone is well.

Kat a dd3, how lovely and special

I still can't believe i will have 2 of each, in that order and everything

Means - your time will come

mrs - i do take my hat off to you with 5. I know that i won't have a fifth - because of when DH cheated i'm never going to feel stuck or vulnerable like that again - I think if i wasn't pregnant i very well may have left him tbh. I am very mad that that is the decision, but its mine and i have made it (iyswim).

Hi, it's so quiet in here!!!!!!

Spoke to my consultant yesterday......he said it's ok for me to start ttc again....he said there were no bulges in my tubes and technically the pg could have been anywhere as it was a pg of unknown location. HE said I need to start taking folic acid and vitamins and we can try again.............

WOW...but......I need to lose some weight, I've put on all the weight I lost previous to this pregnancy and I have a whole lot more to lose. A pg would be much easier if I can shift some of my lard arse! So I'm joining the gym next week and I'm already on a healthy eating plan....I lost 2lbs in 4 days last week, not reweighing until next thursday. So ttc in maybe march/april....se how much I can lose in a few months.

Enough about me how is everyone else?

Thats brilliant Means! Don't beat yourself up about weight, sounds like you are well on the way already, and you have a good incentive too....I think I'm just going to aim to get fit and use portion control, have a history with going off the rails if I start using the term 'diet', horrible word anyway Anyway have my fingers crossed for you!

Scorps, hope you're feeling ok. I'm excited for you

Waves to everyone!!!

WOW Means!!! Thats really good news! I wouldn't be too worried about weight however... especially if you are going to TTC again. Seems like an awful lot of work to lose the weight, only to put it back on again with the next DC. Why not just watch during your pregnancy and worry about it later?? Sorry... I guess I'm not being a very supportive virtual friend ... I'm just being a lazy cow! LOL

Babyblue, you are naughty lol! In theory I agree but I have so much weight to lose I thought maybe losing a few stone then watching my weight while pg would be a good idea. I don't put on weight with girl babies but the pounds pile on when I'm pregnant with boys lol.

I'm on cd 10, saw ewcm on cd 9 which is wayyyy to early for me...gearing up to ovulate...avoiding in theory but we did have naufghties again last night...whoops. Back on the folic acid too ready fr next year. ;)o

naughties*

Means - thats too funny! I am just the opposite. Put on 35lbs with each DD and only about 25lbs for the 2 DSs! But good luck in the weight loss. I know its not easy. Been trying to watch what I eat, but around this time of the year, there are too many temptations. And my DH helps to sabbotage me by offering me biscuits and the like!!!

So how are the preggos doing?? Scorps, you are getting really close!!! You must be starting to play the 'is that contraction for real' game!!

How about you Kat?? How are you feeling?

Where is everyone else these days??? This thread has never been this quiet!

Hi,
I'm here

Nearly 18 weeks, got my official 20 week scan on the 17th which I'm excited and scared about!

Means - Yey on being allowed to ttc. I'm a bit of a lard arse atm. I'm the biggest I've ever been, I'm 6ft and a size 16, but I figure this is my last baby so after this one I'll diet and exercise like crazy/ beg DH for liposuction....

I'm feeling squirmy movement but I was feeling proper kicks by this stage last time. The babybond scan people told me I have an anetrior placenta so it's probably that and the extra ahem padding...

Kat, I also had the anterior placenta with Marco, and what a difference it made when feeling for movement. I didn't feel any proper kicks til almost 20 weeks... only squirms and rolls. I also had the extra padding left from DD2, so I know what you mean. So this will be your last DC as well?? Now that I am getting my shape back slowly (was finally able to get into a size 12 last week and I'm only 5'6"), I do not want to ruin it with another pregnancy! The only time I really get any twinge of broodiness is when I am around friends who are pg.

Means - so whens the official TTC start date??

That's reassuring bb, I know it's normal and everything but I was getting proper kicks by 17 weeks last time so it's just something else to stress about! I know everything is fine as I had my scan last week but I still worry about absolutely everything in pregnancy!

Well done on getting into size 12! I was super skinny after I had the first 2 (probably because I was still a teenager!) but after I had Lily when I was 23 I never quite got back to normal.

I WILL get fit this time!!!!

Oh and 100% this is my last baby!! DH is booking himself in for the snip as soon as I give birth!
