Hi ladies
Can I please join you all? I have met a couple of you before but Im a newbie in here so hoping I could hang out with you all for awhile?
Im 8 weeks on Monday...have spotted all the way through and had a scare at 6 weeks..scans and bloods came back great...guess it is just one of those things. had another scan today and everything is great....thankgod, your so right....it freaks you out...
I too have had that sciatica...felt liek my pelvis was going to fall ouot, started int he left side now in the right pelvis...god it hurt...was limping for days and when I tried to walk normally I collapsed!! They told me it was the progesterone pessaries i am on and all the other lovely side effects should ease too.....WHEN????
I am actually feeling really down tonight...shouldnt be..we have what we have been praying for for years...so whats wrong with me. DH and I have been fighting..well I have been yelling at him all the time....everything just makes me so mad at the moment....we have hardly spoken all night..he has been cleaning the fish tank for at least 3 hours now.....might have to go to bed and maybe in the morning things might seem brighter....
So our journey so far has had its up and down but has turned out ok.....just hope I can snap out of my mood soon.....
I love hearing everyones stories..makes me feel normal..thanks ladies....

Hey Carla,

Welcome - Pull up a chair, its real cosy in here and the company is great ! Sorry to hear about the sciatica so early on. Take care with it.

Its quite normal to fluctuate between happy & sad whilst pregnant (well, for me anyway) considering all the drugs we pump into ourselves to get this far & beyond. I went on a fast down hill run in the first trimester and felt depressed for a few weeks, weeks 9-11 (progesterone pessaries for first three months) and then came good when I started the second trimester.

I hope that you are have a better day today and remember, happiness is sometimes a choice considering all the changes we go through in pregnancy.
Take Care

Happy Birthday Lismith. Hope you've had a lovely day hun.

Hi to all the newbies in here. Its lovely to see more people join in

Not alot happening here atm. Sage is just adorable. He makes us laugh and smile everyday. We just LOVE him to bits. Its amazing how 1 very little person can change your world. I can't believe he will be 6 months old this coming week. Where has that time gone?????????????????

Hope you are all doing well and those bellys are growing nicely

Hi ladies,

it is good to hear that others have been blessed to have babies after the trying for so long.

I can't wait Mako to have my little one change our lives, I know that it is going to have its ups and downs but gee it will be worth it.

Hi Carla welcome, the mood swings do die down in the 2nd trimester but these are nothing compared to the swings my poor DH encountered after the nightly IVF jabs. Hugs do wonders.

Princess Fiona, we're getting closer to our 19 week scan. My DH can't wait and has already arranged for the afternoon off. I have been told that this scan is amazing and can't wait to see the little bub wriggling and getting bigger.

Take care everyone,

BD

Hi ladies
Thanks for the warm welcomes...well I do hope the moods go..Im starting to hate myselF!
I remember all the IVF jabs..had 2 rounds of them but can honestly say that I am worse now I am pregnant....should be so happy and content but just feel anxious and aggetated all the time.....
Hope you all had a great weekend....Im back at work tomorrow after a week off on holidays..YUK.....not looking forward to that.
Have a great week....will be checking in each day though!!

Hi ladies, new and old hope you are all doing well.

Carla - I cant believe that your bub is due in Dec OMG the time is just flying.....good luck with going back to work

Mako - thanks for the birthday wishes, I cant believe it has been 6 months already!!

Well we have survived the first big week, 2 birthdays down and no bubs so I think we are safe....its funny I think most people think they want to go early but I am now really looking forward to having time off to myself before hand. I hope at least to get one week, to veg and sleep I also am hoping she drops this week I really need to breath again all the know-it-alls keep telling me im really low now.....but I have carried low all the way through and the fact that she is practising standing on my ribs tells me she hasnt dropped yet.

And I wanted to share some birthday happiness, my darling husband went into a lingerie shop and bought me a beautiful hot milk breast feeding nightie....this is huge he has never bought me any underwear....so I was very impressed and he signed the tag dh so cute

And I wanted to ask a quick question (the thoughts I have at 3am) as everyone here has had trouble conceiving in some form or another, for those who have already popped or already have kids.....when did you resume dtd'ing after birth and did you even bother with contraception!!! Just curious

Have a happy Monday xx
