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

Hi guys..

2 days until my due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep getting cramps and contractions and all sorts but they don't seem to go anywhere. I'm fully expecting to go overdue (I went 6 ays over with both girls) but it would be lovely if my body decided to be different this time!!!

Hope everyone is ok.

((((((((((((((((Loopy)))))))))))))))))) I am so sorry, that is heartbreaking news. I hope you are ok, we are here if you need to talk/cry. I am so very sorry, thinking of you and your beautiful angel.xxxxx

Loopy Very very sorry for your loss. Am glad that your DH is being so wonderful and giving you what you need to get through this. Hopefully you will stay with us during your attempts in the future.

Oh loopy, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be heartbreaking for you.

Thinking of you and your angel, I echo what the others said, hope you will come here if you need to rant/talk.

loopy, I am sorry! Not sure if you remember, we were both on (October?) bus together with the same CD both ttc#4. I am really sorry for your loss

Kat, happy due date for yesterday!!!!! I give ou 4 day maximum left!!!!! Come on little miss.xxx

Loopy, I hope you are ok sweetie. Your husband sounds like a lovely man, I'm so glad he's there for you. We are here if you need us. Thinking of you.x

Hi Little Silver, I hope you get some good news soon, come and join us, we'd love to have you!

Hiya means and others...

I'm officially OVERDUE now

It wouldn't be too bad if
a) I wasnt getting stop/start contractions that get my hopes up
b) people would bloody stop ringing and texting!!!!

Hehehehe

Grumpy katnkankles here.... seeing midwife tomorrow.... they don't do sweeps here until 7 days overdue so don't know what the point is really.

I had the last 2 at 6 days late which would make it Tuesday. Hope it happens before then though!

Kat - its time to start with all the old wives tales home remedies for bringing on labour... sex, curries, sex, pineapple, sex, bouncing up and down on a labour ball, and did I mention sex???

Loopy - so sorry to hear your news, I hope you are doing ok?

Kat - I tried to come on yesterday to wish you happy due date, but didn't manage it. Sorry to hear you are getting the infuriating stop/start contractions. Just remember this it the last ever time you will have this "when is this baby ever going to get out of me", in a couple of weeks it will all be over (obviously hopefully sooner rather than later!). I second babyblues suggestion of SEX, but if not have you tried the Evening primose oil? Worked a dream for me last time.

Hi to everyone else.
As for me, just incase you don't read the other threads I am on - Yes I am...., but I am not celebrating as it is a long journey, early days, and been there/done that before, so just waiting to see if this time it is going to work, too many m/c to want to count another, so not acknowledging it yet.

Kat, you need to check in every morning!!!! We are officially on babywatch for you now!!!!!

Loopy, hope you are ok.xx

Kat - well today is your day you think, so will be watching out for announcements on fb. Hope it all goes well or has gone well if it has already happened. Thinking of you.

I had a chemical pregnancy, ho-hum, trying to ignore this one as it was so early. I guess we will be trying again, but it hurts each time to lose another.

Kat has news for us!!! I'm sure she'll update asap. Rainbow.nooooooooooo. So unfair. I hope you are ok.

Loopy, I battled with my hormones after my ectopic,it took 6 weeks for hcg get back to 'normal'ie 0 and then ovution kicked in and I was so desperate to be pg again. I'm glad I went on but it was a scary journey.xxx

Sorry for typos, wireless keyboard and it misses out letters as I type, drives me mad!

Oh piglets, KAT I knew you would do it when I have no access to fb. I can only get certain internet access from work (phew that I can get mn). So I assume from means that things have happened.
With that assumption I will say:

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter KAT.

Obviously if I am a bit presumptious and means did not mean that you have had the baby - then just get on with it girl!!!

I will check on friday night on fb to see which it is!

Hi girls!

So sorry for keeping you waiting!!

Ava Rose was born at 4.45am on Tuesday the 18th! She weighed in at 8lb 14oz!! My biggest baby yet but she looks so tiny.

She was 6 days late exactly like her sisters. Birth was textbook really, 2 1/2 hour established labour, I got to the hospital nice and early so plenty of time to play with the gas n air although I threw it to one side in disgust at the end

She came out so quickly she had a little purple face and looked bruised for a couple of days but she's pinking up nicely and is very cute and beautiful.

I'm breastfeeding and my nipples are very very sore, cracked and bleeding but trying to perservere. I've never had it easy with BF so probably won't last much more than a month or so but that's fine with me. She'll get the best bits.

Thanks for your best wishes guys! I'll try and check in when I can.

Kat - congratulations, so happy for you. I am sure her big brother and sisters are loving her too. (ps. if you get past 8 weeks with breastfeeding it gets so so so much easier, since she is your last why not have a go at getting help to get you through the first few weeks and give yourself the easiness of breastfeeding in the later months?!)

Kat, congrats again. I had cracked bleeding nipples with ds2, they healed after 7 days and toughened up, I weent on for 2 years then lol. All the best with it, you are doing an amazing job!

I had my rescan today, all is well and Sophia is still a girl. Oh but I have a throat infection, feeling rough, on antibiotics.

Kat Well done and congratulations on Ava!! She is lovely!! I had a tonne of issues with BF DCs #1 and #2. With #3 and #4 I made sure to get lots of help and I perservered to BF for 10 months (and counting) with both. But all you can do is your best, right? Good luck!!

Means Sophia is a lovely name (not just saying that cause I have one of my own ). We seem to have similar taste in girls names... lol... if Marco would have been a girl, he would have been an Isabella!

rainbow so sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you are doing as well as can be. You are in my prayers for a sticky baby soon.

Loopy How are you managing???

BB, good taste lol! I am running out of names so it must be my last baby lol!

Rainbow and Loopy, hope you are both ok.xxxx

Steph, how's lacey? She must be gtting big now.

Kat, Ava is a beautiful name, beautiful classy ring to it! I bet the kids are smitten with her already. I lurked in MAy on the other place and my gpod they've gone popcorn in the last few days! Too many babies making me broody even though I'm pg lol!

Loopy, lol, after labour I wouldn't give too hoots, I might cry at the wasted money on all things pink though lol!
I don't think it's too early, I think it's very natural for you to want to think that way and nobody would blame you. My friend had a 13 week loss, the next month she tried and the month after but no luck. We are hoping this is her month. She feels guilty, almost disloyal to the baby she lost but she mustn't feel like that. She is still grieving but she also wants to look forward to the baby she so desperately wants and I can understand that completely. Massive hugs.
