Pregnancy after Long Term TTC #7 - 2009

Good afternoon girls,

Just popping in to let you know I am thinking of you all :D

Grub - so happy to hear DH is now home :dance: I cant believe how close you are to having bubs. How EXCITING!!!! Am thinking of you. My advice to you is to get as much sleep now as possible cause when bubs arrives you wont get much, lol I have never felt this tired and sleep deprived my whole life!! But then I look at Trent and think it is all worth it :D

Bella - good to hear all with well with your boys and you are now home. Sounds like you and DH are doing a TERRIFIC job. I find one baby hard enough let alone two! Take care.

Hello to all the other lovely ladies in here. Belly rubs to all.

Take care,
Tania

im thinking of you all but im the same cant sit here for to long or i keep thinking im going to fall off the chair i go all dizzy lol..mouth goes dry omg seeya girls ..

Hi ladies,

I am feeling a bit decadent being on this site when I should be at work. It is almost four and I have just spent most of the day sleeping!

LondonMiss: I am exactly the same at the moment. I am so tired it is ridiculous. The doctor didn’t want me to go back to work for the rest of the year, which was just not possible. So I compromised and took Thursday, Friday and today off. I think I have slept most of the days away! I am dreading going back to work tomorrow.

Airline: Thank you for thinking of me. The acupressure bands seemed to have stopped working. Sometimes they do, sometimes not. Unfortunately my wrists are so sore that they are crying out for me to stop when I go to put them on. You are right about them being a give away. I have been off work since Thursday and have to go back tomorrow. So I thought I would try the B6 and ginger tablets. They seem to be working, but who knows for how long. Good luck on Wednesday! I understand how difficult this is for you, two more sleeps. All I can say is that everything sounds promising.

Greenslw: Thank you for wishing me luck. Friday seems so far away. I wish I had the talent and patience to try out some art projects. I have just bought some bead kits from spotlight, the type where you just can’t muck them up!

Poppy: So sorry about all the difficulties you are having with your step mother. Wow how fantastic that you have a wonderful painting of yourself. I don’t think I would ever have the confidence to have something like that done.

Grubs: I am sending eviction vibes your way.

AFM: I am still trying every remedy under the sun for MS and trying not to wish my life away. I just feel like I have spent this whole year waiting and wishing time would go faster.

I hope everyone is having a good day today.

Hello ladies,

I just couldnt help myself and had to dip my toes in here. Got my very first BFP today after 3.5 years and 9 IVF cycles, so naturally a little concerned as to what the next few weeks bring but very very excited all the same (probably an understatement :D). All i did when the nurse told me the news was cry and cry and cry. I just thought that it was almost too good to be true to be pregnant this cycle, right before Christmas and with the crazy AF cramps i have had for the past three days but here i am. Levels are at 400 and something, cant remember exact number. We have our 7 week scan booked in for 30th Dec. Hopefully we see a very strong heartbeat, or two as we had two blasties transferred.

Looking forward to keeping a close eye on you all.

welcome and good luck for your long awaited dream to come true my dear:dance:

:happyforyou::happyforyou: OMG Paula... Congratulations on your :bfp:... I'm so super excited for you and those numbers sound pretty good... Enjoy your PG...

Hi girls,
Thought I'd pop in and let you know I'm thinking of you all!

A huge congratulations to those who have recently become PG. Hope you have wonderful pregnancies. Enjoy the next step in your journey towards motherhood.

To all those lovely ladies still growing their little one/s since I last posted, you are all doing so well. It is so nice to see your tickers progressing, especially those of you already into your 3rd trimester. :clap: I can't wait to read about these new little bubs due in the coming weeks.

Life is busy with the twins. Our little ones are growing and changing so quickly. Days are like whirlwinds but awesome at the same time.

Take care and I'll be keeping an eye out in the thread for birth announcements!

Hi all, hope those bellies are doing well.

Poppy - I can give you advice for the pelvic pain. That is how I have been feeling from about 12 weeks. Drugs Drugs and more drugs. I also wear a brace to support my pelvis and stop it from moving. There are times when I cant walk. My Physio suggested getting DH to support my pelvis when I roll over at night. But liike I am going to wake him up everytime I want to roll over. DTD is almost unbearable. Had a little time to ourselves yesterday and I so could not move after. Not nice.

Green, I walked into the door at work the otherday without opening it and hit it with myu belly. I was really suprised at how hard my tummy was and how I just bounced off it. was giggling at myself, hope noone else saw mw.lol

AFM - five more days at work and one of those I am taking as a sick day. Yeah. Saw ob today and she seems to think he is going to smaller than DS so am still doing a little dance. Have scan at 34 weeks to check his growth and she will delivery anytime after 37 weeks so less than 8 weeks to go.

Morning all!

Just popping in for a quick :hello: while I have an "early" breakfast...

:welcome: to all the newbies, wishing you h & h pregs and we hope you enjoy your time with us

Grubby Bub: OUT!!! NOW!!! Time's up! Do I have to come in there and drag you out by the ear??? (Sorry just something my Dad used to yell at me through the bathroom door every morning, worked a treat every time :lol:)

Smithy: You poor thing, I can't believe you're still sick! Not much longer now hun. How's Coops going? Have you caught up to his belly yet?

Green: Oh yes, I keep forgetting that I need this extra room, every now and then I'll turn around in a shop just a little too quickly and wipe out a display LOL. My mother refuses to go shopping with me now cause I embarrass her hahahaha oh and getting plenty of dirty looks from furbaby too as my lap has shrunk and there's not quite enough room for her on it anymore with big belly in the way.

A big hi to everyone else!

AFM: not much else to tell. DH was lovely last night, came home after work and told me to sit down and put my feet up and he cooked dinner AND washed up afterwards! Woohoo!

Oh and mega embarrassing... completely forgot that the guy was coming yesterday to measure up for an insulation quote. Here's me answering the door in my nightie looking like something that's been dragged through the bushes backwards with a music DVD blaring in the background! :oops: Actually truth be told, I was wandering around with only undies on in the heat and the nightie was the nearest thing to grab when the doorbell rang so could have been a lot worse LOL

Oh and our cot arrived over the weekend, so now all the major stuff is here, just waiting for my Dad to paint the change table console and then we can start setting up the nursery! :hooray:

Anyway hope you all have a great day... I'm gonna head back to bed see if I can catch another hour or so of zzz before the sun comes up!

hi girlies.. thanks for the vibes lol keep them coming! i thought i was having mild contractions last night and got thinking 'ooh maybe soon'. now i am feeling he's never coming out... DH laughed and told me it was a conspiracy to trick me to think I was pregnant and i would never actually give birth... and there's cameras in the house watching my reactions a bit like The Truman Show lol. MEN! that was sooooo helpful darling. who thinks of stuff like that lol.

hi boc - how exciting to get the furniture in!!! and good on your DH for being a good bloke... but he should be doing it all the time now IMO lol. i'm spoilt with my dh, he does the lion's share of the housework since i got preg and could barely get out of bed. it's great, but i do have to sneak behind him sometimes and 'fix' his man cleaning lol. enjoy your breakky!

YAY saph! how quick did that seem to go?? your last week will fly by love... then you'll be like me at home... waiting, waiting, waiting lol. At least Campbell will provide the entertainment for you lol.

KAYDEE!!! what a treat to have you pop by! I have thought about you since you left us with your bubs and wondered how you were travelling :) so glad all is well, if very busy, at your place lovely. ox

hi lilmiss - how are you? feeling well? things going okay?

lani - where you at GF?? lol.

airline - how are you going huny? i have fingers, toes and all sorts of other bits crossed for you tomorrow my darling. i really really really really want this for you guys. :pray:

:dance: PAULA - welcome aboard lady!!! i hope you find this forum supportive and helpful. I think it's so popular cos all the ladies here are so lovely, a little ccrraaaazzeee but just gorgeous.

sonyalouise - hi love, not sure if it's been suggested to you... but i found blackmores morning sick tablets the bomb. i still had nausea but not as bad as before i started them. otherwise keep snacking. sorry to hear you are struggling. It's funny how quickly you think "I would die for a baby'' to "omg what have i done, i think i AM going to die'' lol.

smithy - go the colour coordination lol. well i'm more boring than you cos i'm not sick constantly and still doing nothing! lol. finished another painting tho and started a funky little frog :) ooh ooh have to take furbaby to get her toenails clipped! beat that high pants lol.

MISS TANIA - glad you are well love. yes i've been sleeping lots... but not sure it's one of those things you can 'stock up' on lol. give your bubba a nice big raspberry on the belly for me... lol.

Green - those bottles sound lovely! what a sweet idea! and yep, further away from things is a real problem. it's hard on my back to wash up etc cos i can't reach... and if i eat my dinner on the lounge i tend to wear mostof it on the bottom of my belly cos it'll sit on my plate and i won't notice till i look in the mirror lol. my tummy ate damn-near half my pumpkin last night! so i have to check myself before leaving the house. lol. hope work is lfying by so you can kick back like you deserve.

good ot hear from you POPPY :) although that's no good about your dad and his evil wiff. but it's for your dad to sort out... good on you for standing up and saying 'enough is enough'. You have every right to control who is and is not in your life and you don't need toxic personalities... what your dad does is his call alone. It's sad he's struggling cos she's obviously manipulative, but at the end of the day - he married her, he's been told clearly what you guys think and it's his life. sorry if that sounds too harsh, but i think you have much more important things to put your energy into rather than this drama and woman! but i can't imagine how hard it is to watch your dad struggle :wall:

Love your DH doing the painting :) I did some silhoutted photos for dh when he was away. i really wanted to record the moment cos who knows if we'll get a 2nd bub. I"m sure i'll look back in 20 yrs time in disbelief of what my body did! and I'm a naughty mummy too... I don't realise i do it but apparently, according to DH, i say "oh eff it" under my breath ... a lot.

WOW - what a huge post! good on you grubby lol. you little gas bag! lol. Still here... hands are very swollen and so sore i could barely hold my tea cup this morning!!! that's like torture for me. Been sleeping heaps the last few days... am looking for ''signs'' of labour just like the TWW when i was looking for pregnancy 'signs' lol. Goign to try some visulasation, deep breaths and relaxation to try and let go of my stress, anxiety and need to control this.... then going to bounce on my fit ball like a crazy woman.

COME ON BUBBA!!!!

good luck girls... seems a lot of people are scanning and testing and what not this week! oxoxoxoox

Hi All,
Thought I would pop in and say hi.

It is really hard for me to keep up with this thread as I have mushy pregnancy brains but I will give it a go.

Grub- How funny is your DH. Every time I move or make a sound my DH says is it baby time. I wish. Thinking of you and sending you lots of labour vibes. Not long left now.

Boc – How sweet of DH to cook dinner and clean up. How funny about being in your nightie.

Saph - All seems well for you. Enjoy the last few days at work. Not long YAY!!!!

Kaydee - Great to hear from you, I am sure the twins are keeping you busy.

Lilmiss - Hope u are well and all is going great.

Airline – Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow. Everything is crossed that all is good. :pray:

Paula welcome. I hope you find this forum very supportive. I have found everyone to be lovely. Great news for you after what seems like it would have been a long journey. Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy.

Sonyalouise – Hope u are feeling better. I was lucky and didn’t get very much MS at all but I was told salt n vinegar anything, chips, rice crackers etc.

Smithy – Hope all is going well, not long left till you will be holding Charlie. Hope you are not feeling too bad.

Miss Magpie- Great to hear from you and hope you are well! Hope Trent is behaving himself and being a good little boy for mummy.

Greenslw – The bottles sound very sweet. I hear you on having to be further away from things, I cannot wait till I can eat dinner at the table and not 3ft away from it. Not long to go now.

Poppy- I hope you are able to sort your dramas out. Nothing like a family drama when you least need it. I hope everything works out for you xxx

Well I hope I haven’t missed anyone and I am really sorry if I have. :grouphug:

AFM- I have tried everything to bring this labour on curry, chilli, sex, reflexology, walking, I need to get a fit ball and start bouncing on that. That can be on today’s shopping list. I have my OB appt tomorrow to see what is happening and I am sure he will discuss induction if labour doesn’t commence. I am just not sure how long I want to wait to see if labour starts itself.

Does anyone have any advice?

:bellyrubs: to everyone.

Morning Girls,

Well just poppoing in to get a check of who is actually in here atm

Grub, Boc, Saph, Kaydee, Lilmiss, Airline, Paula, Sonyalouise, Smithy, Miss Magpie, Greenslw and Poppy. Did I miss anyone. Hope your pregnancies are coming along well.

Laniwantsababy try some rasberry leaf, I have heard it is supposed to help. Personally I think it will happen when its time, also get DH to take you for a drive along a bumpy road, now I do know that helps put me into labor with DS funny thing is thats not why we were there lol.

AFM - I am 5 1/2 weeks now woohoo and booked in for U/S next Friday, but wondering whether if I ring clinic if they can do it sooner. I am busting to know if there are 1 or 2. Not sleeping that wellm as I keep waking up from the weirdest dreams. LOL. I have dreamt of every scenario just want to hear a heart beat and know that it's / they are ok. DH says I am so impatient, like I told him just very nervous. How early have others had there U/S done?

Anyway hope you all have a great day. Keep those buns cooking in the oven. xxx :bellyrubs: to everyone.

hey rob, they can't do it too early cos they need to see the pole, hb etc. we were supposed to have ours at 6 weeks but the way it worked out it was closer to 7... nearly killed me with waiting! good luck with it lovely. how exciting!

lani - we are channeling each other... now if you go inot labour because of one of those wives tales get back on here ASAP and share your method! we've tried all that too except the bumpy road, but i figure fitball does the same :) And i'm on raspberry leaf tea tablets but they help smooth out the cervix and can help with more effecient contractions, not so much to bring labour on... but you never know!

we also have ob appnt tomorrow where i'll be cornering her re induction. this close to chrissy is getting on my stress levels. let us know how you go!

so the race is on Lani! You and me lady. who will make it first lol??? how exciting... take care of yourself and good luck.

Thanks rob. I have tried the raspberry leaf tea tablets which I have been taking for the last 4wks.

May need to go for a bumpy drive.

I had my u/s at 6wks3days. If u go any earlier u may only see the egg and sac but no heartbeat, try and wait as long as possible. It's not that long now. How exciting wishing u all the best xx

Grub I am hearing u with being so close to Christmas. I don't want this bub to miss out on it's birthday cause everyone is tied up with Christmas.

What are your thoughts on induction etc how long over do u want to go before u let them intervene?

The race is on. Sounds like we are both trying all the remedies.

I am going to my inlaws tonight for dinner and MIL said she will make curry. She wants this baby to come too.

I am planning on having a relaxing day at home today may even go and get a DVD to watch.

Just a quick post for Lani and Grub about induction... Not lecturing but a normal pregnancy in nature is considered to be 42 weeks and you are more likely to get closer to this if it is your first bub... It's only Dr's need to have control that they put the 40week limit on it... If you can wait it is sooo much better to let your little one choose it's birthday because of the complex hormones that are produced to help labour if you do... Induction can also lead to a more painful and longer labour... HTH and I say this to help not to hinder... Keep trying the natural ways and I hope your little ones are here soon for the sake of both your sanity and bodies... good luck gorgeous ladies as I look forward to hearing that labour has started...

To everyone else I promise to be back for persies a little later.. Life is a little manic at the moment...
Mwah

Thanks for the advice lilmiss. I really do hope we can avoid induction and let this all happen naturally. :)

Oh girls...

Just read the funniest article on here thought I would share, as each and every one of us in here will understand.

https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-want-elf.html

i forgot to say go and have alook at this its me and dh and you might want to make one too lol...

congratulations Paula :leap:
How exciting! Hope all goes well for you!
AFM -=- I go for my 20 week scan tomorow! Wish me luck everyone :)

good luck kyra!! and any news on the house hunting front?? :clap:

Hello all. Blimey, I'm away for five minutes, and you're all on here!

Quick one - Lani and Grub. Two things, if you make a curry and then freeze it, it will get hotter and that might do the trick. Some women in rural india rub chillis up their 'Proverbial' to bring on labour but I think that's going a bit far personally :o Mum tells me that she was a week late and had to drink a pint of cod liver oil mixed in orange juice to bring me on, but this was the early seventies in the scottish borders, so I hope they have more technological methods than this now!!! Sounds like a recipe for the trots, never mind a baby.

We've just had our second scan. We got an extra one at 8 and a bit weeks (because of the miscarriage last time) and it was super. Arms and legs - well paddle like wafty things - check. Head, check. Looks more like a baby than an alien now... which is nice ;)
FS gave me a massive lecture about not already booking in for the birth - yeah gods, I'm only 8 weeks! So I need to do that on Friday. Seems an awful long way off. We're going to tell a few people this weekend, but a sort of 'cautious' list.

I hope you are all well and happy. Saph - sorry your pelvis is in such a bad way. It sounds truly excrutiating. I hope it eases sometime soon. Hello and belly rubs to all xx

Thanx grub *hug*
Yes! We applied for that wonderful house I was talking about earlier.. There were about 30 other applicants (and no im not exaggerating either!) So its very possible we wont be the lucky ones to get picked,BUT keeping in mind we have a flawless record and good pay a perfect tenant ledger and a written reference from our last property manager Id say we still have a shot :) (you know at least as much as whoever else has all those things which Im sure is plenty of them lol) but hey, we find out today so fingers crossed anyway.. If not, we'll have to stay here over christmas and pick up looking again in the new year.. Which will suck :( but at least we have a home for christmas, must look at the bright side..

Wish me luck anyway.. But more importantly, Im feeling really nervous about the scan tomorow.. Im sure my mind is just picking out the worst possible outcomes and making me stress about them for the mere sake of stressing.. even though everything is most likely fine! We wont be finding out the sex from the US.. and we're going to make it threateningly clear we dont want to know or have any accidental hints like "hes looking quite healthy!" Or "there's her head, her legs, her arms.. etc" But at the same time we've decided to play our own little guessing games by looking at it ourselves, knowing full and well we wont have a clue what we're looking at :D

Sorry for the lack of persies... I get overrtaken so easily on here and lose my grounds on whats going on hehehe.. There are so many of you and its so fantastic to be able to pop on whenever I can and get all the goss.. But right now replying to it all is a little beyond me *forgiveness please* But ill be sure to putt a big effort in soon :) Wish me luck with both my pending possibilities, and Ill talk to you all soon xxoo

Ky

While im here I might just invite you all to join my msn account if you would like :) Its getting a little lonely in there because I dont have many contacts lol.. So its up to you but the address is mrswolfe@live.com.au If you ado add me let me know who you are when you pop on so i know who im talking too:)

Ky

lol sorry me again.. Just read BOC's 2ww list .. BAHAHA that was so me! The one about swimming laps pretending to be sperm had me giggling like crazy..

Now i Just need a pregnant, son at daycare, DH at work, awaiting news from a scan and a real estate list of activities... can anyone tell Im going crazy?

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I kind of feel like i dont really belong here just yet as its still so early but im enjoying reading all your posts and being reminded of what i have to look forward to :D

Saph five days left of work, sounds like heaven!

Rob best of luck with your u/s next Friday. You are luck you get to see your baby that soon. I still have to wait another three weeks (30th Dec).

Kyra best of luck with your scan tomorrow. Im sure all will be fine. I guess having been through assisted conception, our job is to worry every step of the way isnt it?! Oh well. All the stress and worry will continue once they arrive and for the rest of their long lives. This is all just preparation :lol:

Bella: Congrats on the arrival of your two gorgeous boys, glad to hear they are settling well.
Grub: Sending eviction vibes your way hoping you get to hold your beautiful boy in your arms very soon.
Greenslaw, BOC, Smithy: Glad to hear all is going well for you ladies
Anyos, Paula, Rob: Welcome and Congrats wishing you all a H&H pregnancy
Sonyalouise: Hoping you find out how far along you are soon
Londonmiss: I am not as far along as you but I have found I get tired about 1/2 way through the day and then of a night time it is taking me a good couple of hours to get to sleep it is sending me absolutly crazy lol
Poppyfairy: Sorry to hear about all your family dramas, hope everything smooths out for you soon so you can concetrat on yourself and your baby
Airline: Hoping you geting to see that little heartbeat tomorrow. I can't say much bout symptoms seen as I am onlyy 5 weeks all I have had so far is slight tenderness in my bb's and tiredness. Sending lots of stickvibes your way and praying everything will be ok for you.

AFM: Rang the doctor this morning to see if she had the results from saturday and Mondays blood tests and was told they only have saturdays so she can't check the rise in my BHCG till she gets the ones from monday which she won't get till tonight so I have been told to ring back tomorrow afternoon, also still haven't been able to get through to make an appointment for the scan I was ment to have this week as I was only given a mobile number and everytime I ring it tells me it is switched off. It is all becoming very frustrating however I am trying not to get too upset by it all as I know that won't help any. As of sunday the cramping had stopped and by early monday morning the bleeding had stopped also so I am taking those as good signs that bub is hanging in there although I am still experiancing brown spotting but everything I have read on the internet has said that it is not uncommon to still experiance that sort of thing this early in the pregnancy so I am just thinking positive and hoping it all works out.

:dance::clap::leap::clap::dance:

WE GOT THE HOUSE! The one that was perfect! The one that had 30 other applicants! we move in a week! Nursery, yard for DS and POOCH, ABILITY TO RELAX FOR THE REST OF THE PREG! HERE I COME!!!! now all I need is for the scan to go GREATLY tomorow and Im set for good! Thank you for all the fingers crossed! I do believe it truly helped!

Happy bellybelly, Ky

CONGRATULATIONS Kyrawolfe :clap::clap::clap:

That is great. Hope all goes well at your scan. :p:p:p:p

Well I didn't last in here very long finally got my results and BHCG has dropped from 760 on saturday to 219 on monday so unfortantly we don't get to keep our little bub this time I only knew about you for a week little one but I loved you like you were here already will always remember you my little angle.

Best of luck to all you lovely ladies see you all next time.

Really sorry wishingbaby ... Must be hard for you and Dh ... Will be thinking of you :hug:

AFM - Meanwhile someone up there was hearing me ... Hospital doing my U/S rang today as next Friday's appt at 330 pm wasnt a great time when we booked it as DH has to milk cows, lol, so i was on a list for cancellations, anyway they rang to say they had a cancellation Monday morning at 840 if I wanted to go in, yay that's only 6 days away.

Wishing...there are no words to express succinctly. I'm so so sorry. will pm you x

I am so sorry wishingbaby. Remain positive. The ttc journey can be an emotional journey but if u remain strong and positive things will be easier for you. Sending lots of :hug: your way xoxo

Wishingbaby - so very sorry to hear your news. May we see you back in here very soon xx

wishingbaby - so sorry to hear that this little miracle wasn't to be. Once you have gathered your strength I hope it won't be long till we see you back in here soon. :hug:

OK take two , got 1/2 way through this post at work like 12 hours ago and got sidetracked. Dam staff, clients meetings!

Airline: goodluck with your scan I didn't have a scan till 8 weeks and it was internal ICK I also have a tilted uterus and yep its harder to see things but still carries bubba fine :)

Thanks for your shared laughter Smithy. It's getting radiculous. I have hot flush then dizzy. Funny bodies we have hay.

sonyalouise the reason I love craft is that it takes my mind off things. I'm not a patient person AT ALL so busy hands mean less on my brain.

Paula welcome and congrats.

Kaydee glad your family is going well :D

Saph I bet you were glad no one saw you. although you have plenty of excuses.

BOC hehe at mum being imbarassed, and great that your belly is doing some redecorating of it's own in stors, displays are poorly constructed at best! Yayay for got. and I wonder if you'd been in your undies when the tradsman arived you may have got a discount ;)

Grub I reccon the tummy food issue is good practice for small children. :) I seam to always splash myself when doing the dishes. Hope the visualisations and relaxation works.

Laniwantsababy I just had this visual of a very pg lady madly bouncing 3ft off a fit ball saying "common" hope bubba feels your vibe and follows through.

Rob I hope you can keep patient I know the first few weeks are hard. Hang in there.

LondonMiss glad scan went well :hug:

kyrawolfe goodluck for the scan tommorrow it is scary but also so exciting. Enjoy every minute. Oh and :leap: guess the universe finally delivered a house. great work.

Wishingbaby :hug: that is so disapointing and I am so sorry for your sadness. :hug:

ATM antinatal classes are making me think toooooo much, hence the no sleep. Today we went through birth possitions and pain relief. I think I already have an idea of what I want and DON'T and the more I see read hear the more confused I get.

There is something very impersonal about 15 couples all in a room watching a midwife dismantal the birthing bed and show you possible possitions. at first I was giggling "on the inside" but by the end it was like "OMG is she for real I'm not going to remember this" and it is up to me. So being that it is 7pm-9.30pm and DH and I are so tired anyways I'm wondering what will be covered in the last two and if it's even worth my time.

DH is being very supportive and is very clear on what I don't want. No pethadine and no suction caps! but apart from that I don't really want to have a 'fixed view' because after all this is the first time I've done this, I think my pain threshold is high to Ok but who knows.

Anythougts from others re classes? worth it or not?

Hi all - sorry to just jump in here, but Paula - how did I miss this announcement yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I am so excited for you. Your numbers look great - mine were 480 at my first BT when I fell pregnant with Jasmine, so they are almost identical!!!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I am just so excited for you.

To all you other ladies with recent BFP's a big congrats to you and wishing you all H&H pregnancies. To all your ladies further along, I hope everything is going well.

AFU - my little one now has 3 teeth and is crawling everywhere and pulling herself up to standing on everything. I goes so quickly so enjoy every moment of pregnancy and when they are little.

wishing baby, I'm so sorry to hear that. I think the hardest thing after LTTTC is to finally get that BFP only to have it leave you. The only consoling that that anyone told me after mine, was that once your body has got pregnant once, it's easier to do so again, so hopefully it won't be long until we see you in here once again. Big hugs x

Wishingbaby I totally agree with the advice Londonmiss has given once your body does it once another :bfp: shouldn't be far away.

Take your time to heal. Thinking of you :hug:
