jessplussomeonenew · 31/05/2014 17:19

Tally, do you ever have those moments when you read the very last post of a thread out of context and wonder what on earth they're going on about? Have now caught up, so happy stinky fish day to you and Puppy's puppy!

PuppyMummy · 31/05/2014 20:51

jess ha ha ha! Grin

she enjoyed her stinky mackerel in tomato sauce!

had a lack of any kind of twinges or anything this aft, Angry
currently on my ball trying to bounce him out!

qazxc · 31/05/2014 21:13

Good luck with the bouncing.
I've been doing a lot of it, as well as all sorts of contortions to try and get qazlet to turn.
Although the thought of knowing the exact day of birth that an elective section brings is quite good, no thoughts of "Oh my god! I'm going to feel like a beached whale FOREVER!".
Finish work in 4 days, I cannot wait!

Tallyra · 01/06/2014 08:47

haha yes jess I did wonder about it being out of context! Grin

PuppyMummy · 01/06/2014 09:18

qaz yes an end date would be nice!

no sign of baby and all the cramps and twinges r gone!! he seems to hav got himself cosy again!!

midwife on tues who has offered a sweep, might wait a while longer as I'd rather not be fiddled with any more than necessary!!

Well done bunny for spreading the word!!

Right have questions for you chopper ladies. I have pack of pregnacare which I bought ages ago thinking I'll use those one day(didn't think it would be this long!!) and bbd is July 14 so need to crack on and use. Of course they should be ok but just wondering what the general feeling about them was? Know they turn your wee bright yellow which is always amusing.

Second question is slightly more embarrassing. I had Ivf at end of April/may, and am waiting for my early scan tomorrow. After egg transfer the doctor said sex was fine and wouldn't effect result but I had googled and came across a few things saying to avoid it ( chasing rainbows Ivf stated it and few other sites). We then had the big bleed so was last thing on mind and now we're getting close to scan day. Dh and myself are getting a bit, ahem, sexually frustrated shall we say !! I don't want to do anything til scan in case i regret it then we'll go from there and see. So what are the thoughts on sex and pg, did you still do it in early pg or wait till a later marker, is it safe to? I think the thing is we've been ttc so long that we're used to having a lot of sex and now the sex ban is a bit of a shock!! There we go, I've now embarrassed myself sufficiently that I will now scuttle off!!

Angelina77 · 01/06/2014 10:55

Congrats gbbb Smile

Foodylicious · 01/06/2014 12:51

bushy I have taken pregnacare or the supermarket equivalent the whole way through, the folic acid is the important one, but I was happier with pregnacare is my diet was not great with vomming and shift work.
and yep, your pee is pretty luminous! Some people find they make thrm a bit nauseous of constipated so have it with food.

Srx is a tricky one and diffferent for everybody. I was far too anxious in the beginning, then too sick then erm (tmi alert) too swollen in the outside - apparenyly this is fairly fommen, but it made it too uncomfy for me, nthst and it had bern about 4 months by this point. So thst atempt was unsecessful. We have managed once since then about a month later and thats it!

In terms of safety it really should be ok, but I could not bring myself to do it in the early months 'just in case'.
Also once I had a bump I could not stop thinking about baby, not that I yhouhht baby would be harmed, but that I felt hsppily pregnant, not sexy.

I have spoken to people who have said they felt their most sexy when pregnant. Thankfully I have a vety understanding OH, who has been ace.
if he was more bothered I would have made efforts to relieve his 'frustration' in other ways Grin

Have your scan tomorrow and see how you feel after that?

hope that helps, but probably not!

Foodylicious · 01/06/2014 13:02

Have just read pips post re vitamins, have not heard of that before so maybe ask at the clinic when you have your scan?

qazxc · 01/06/2014 13:18

Congratulation Bushy.

Yes start taking those vits. The main one to worry about early doors is folic acid but in case morning all day sickness kicks in, i felt safer taking a multivit as my diet was crap.
How far along is your scan? maybe you could relieve the tension another way, so that you aren't worried/stressing about it. then once you get the all clear, you can resume full activities?
TBH the sex question is one of personal choice and whatever you and your partner feel comfortable with.

greatbigbushybeard · 01/06/2014 15:55

Yeah that scare the life out of me!! (Pip's post)
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I feel ok at the moment, just a few twinges, which I'm interpreting as burrowing.

MotherOfCleo · 01/06/2014 17:10

Good luck for tomorrow's scan bushy!!!

Bunnygirlie · 01/06/2014 17:22

Afternoon all.

bushy with all the TTC sex pressure I was completely put off sex and also feeling too rough to want to do it anyway! we've only manage a few times when DH was desperate.

Good luck for scan tomorrow, keeping everything crossed for you!

Ugh I feel so tired and blah and lazy, the house is a mess but I just can't be bothered. Meant to be starting Relax stretch and breath (bit like yoga apparently) tomorrow, hope I can find energy for that!
