Well.... My head is so scattered right now! Well it has been since Friday night!
Ok, Focus! AF was due last sat but it never came... a few days later I joked to DH saying I was 'late' same as I did before we found out I was pg with DD. a week later (fri night) I grabbed a 3 pack HPT just for the reassurance all was ok, I was just late and AF would come when she was good & ready. NOT the case! Later that night I finally remembered to do the test and got a BFP! Well I was bashing down the door of a nervous break down but DH couldn't wipe the grin off his face! He couldn't understand why I was so upset. ... I reminded him We've just had to semi close his business, I'm just getting my business off the ground, Daytona is only 5 mths old and my CS scar still hasn't fully healed! We had been planning to start these new jobs on top of everything, and I wanted to get on as pernament for atleast 3mths before trying so by the time we had another bub I would be eligable for mat leave. We had been told by numerous fertility specialists (for 13 years)we would never have a baby without IVF but 1st Daytona and now again! I even had on the calender AF days circled in red, DTD days circled in black and the day I'm due to ovulate with a blue square around it so I knew to fight him off with rasor wire if I need to. This cycle I kept him at bay, but the cycles before I haddn't so WTF??? I'm struggling to believe it I'm going to the doc tomorrow to have it confirmed (even though I did another test on the sat & again this morning) and I'm going to ask for a scan. If I see it really there then I'll believe it!
Don't get me wrong, now that I've had time for the idea to sink in, I'm happy about another bub I'm just terrified about the pregnancy and all the bad stuff. Daytona's pregnancy was aweful! I hated every day of it. I'm hoping this time will be more like my 1st and I'll actually enjoy it again. I was really wanting my next one to be a vaginal birth but I'm worried it's so soon, the old scar will rupture or what ever happens. I hope it's another girl because we havn't been able to do our renovations so the new bub will have to share rooms with Daytona and it's a very pretty room and it will also get her hand me down clothes so it would be a very pretty boy! in a very pretty room!
Anyway... Sorry this was longer than it should of been, but I needed to get that out too!
I didn't even get a chance to change my Avitar!!! Well I'm off to check on the rules for all that again, It seems alot has changed on this forum since I was last in here!!
Congrats to you both. Stay focused you'll be OK. Don't worry too much about the birth, what will be will be. If it's a VBAC that's great but if it's not then that's OK as well. The important thing to keep at the front of your thoughts is a healthy bub and Mummy and successful delivery wether it be vaginally or via the front exit!
And by by the way, I just adore your lil girls middle name - Ariel is so beautiful... xx
As for your c-section scar, I was told by my OB that they do all their healing in the first 3 months, they never keep healing after that cos they are all healed.. if that makes sense? I was pregnant again when DD1 was 7 months old and went on to have a VBA2C - so anything is possible!!
Thanks Guys, I am very much in shock! I feel so much better about it all now that I've jumped back into BB.. It's amazing how comforting being on here makes you feel!
Thanks Krisp, Both of her names are motor bikes... a bit of a compramise with DH I was just lucky enough to find pretty names of bikes to keep DH happy.
hun i know the shock of learning your PG so soon.. theres 15mth b/w A & Z and i've been freaking out that i am PG again.
All i can say is i'm often told these things happen for a reason, you will do an amazing job and at the start this kind of age gap actually works quite well IMO
so glad to see you back on BB and feel free to PM me, looking forward to seeing you in our baby buddies thread again if you have the time... were all here for you. Hope Daytona is going well!
Congratulations try not to worry too much, things will work out in the end. So you must be due towards the end of Feb then? You can join our BB group if you like, the girls in there are lovely, and lots of Sticky Vibes to you x
(me too was told by specialists i couldn't have a baby without the help of IVF, well hello conceived my DD naturally at 39.5 !!)
... um, just an idea i'm throwing out there - how about Norton for a boy, my Dad had one of two Norton motorbikes during the 1950's, sadly the poor guy took my Mum on a date to the cinemas only to come out to find it stolen, yep no one really had insurance those days ... that Norton was Dad's dream bike
lol Smiles, Norton was one of the names we had picked out for Daytona if she had of been a boy. The name was Robert Norton. (Among other bike names!) But this time we have decided if it is a boy he will be named Marxon Xavier No, not a bike name but atleast his initials are MX and one of the bikes DH is building he will be naming the Marxon. I thought of the name cause DH's real name is Mark and the baby (if a boy) will be his son... So there you go Marxon (mark's son). Daggy hey!
