Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - March 2008

[Carla MP]

Hi Ladies
Yes well...back at work and can I just have a rant for a minute...
I hate the woman I work with and yes hate is a very harsh word but doesnt even fit properly with the way i feel about this woman....she has bombarded me with all this stuff and even went through my desk and files to see any mistakes i have made and wrote a list and had the biggest b!tch fest about me while I was away!! IM FUMING!!!
She has a very sad life and love to treat people like crap because of it..then the next day she is nice!! Drives me crazy. I am so mad right now I want to just walk out..btu we need to save as muchas we can before the baby is due.....AARRGGGG!
She is the most horrible woman I have ever met and its really stressing me out being here........something I dont need right now thats for sure!
Im tempeted to walk out but know I cant right now and who would want to employ a pregnant woman now!!!

I cant go to the boss..well i guess I can but it will make no differnce as she is the accountant ans actually does a good job but they dont realise how rude she is...I wouldnt win this battle if I did....Im just so angry!!!

Sorry ladies.........I had to vent!!
I hope you are all great..............

Carla. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Lis You're welcome hun. YAY to your dh on buying you a new nightie. How sweet.
On the DTDing. DH and I waited until about 7 or 8 weeks after Sage was born *warning TMI ahead* due to the fact that I still had a discharge and dh wouldn't go anywhere near me As far as contraception goes for us I can't take the pill and I refuse to get the injection or implant as it took so long for us to have Sage. We have relied on BF alone so far as my Ob said it would be highly unlikely we'd become pg within the 1st 6 months and if we did well so be it iykwim? Now that Sage is 6 months and will be starting solids very soon dh can "cover up" if he wants to but I won't mind if he doesn't as another bub would be a blessing.
We don't dtd very often these days either. This is due to the fact that I'm just soooooo tired and also because we dtd'd almost everyday before we had Sage that it became like a chore and I think sometimes it still feels like that. I know that sounds really bad but thats just how it is for DH and I. I also know alot of other couples feel the same way after LTTTC. I'm sure these feelings will pass eventually but for now they are quite real

Thanks Mako

That was my thinking, dh has already told me that he really doesnt want to be a 50 yr old dad with a newborn and I realise its premature to even start this conversation again but sort of intermixed with the great excitement of meeting bubs...I have already started the whole should we start again straight after? do I want 2 bubs close together? what if I dont ovulate again? how long should I leave it before panicking again? You know the usual questions

I think my brain is trying to distract me from the general life changing event fast approaching......im so scared not in a my god its going to hurt type way but in a oh my god we are actually having a baby type way

Still life is good I should be focussing on the amazing blessing that we got pregnant and that I have had a relatively easy pregnancy....all I need now is my gorgeous bub to be healthy and I think we will be complete (I cant believe im managing to go up and down in this post, there is no hope)

Hi girls, sorry for my lack of personals atm. Have been reading though and thinking of you all.

Welcome to babydreams, and anyone else that I missed.

lis, do you finish work this week? Hope you have plenty of relaxing time before bubs arrival.

My back pain subsided quite a bit, then came back last week. Last week I also ended up having to go to the GP as our OB, I found out when I called his office, was away for a week. Anyway, was having lots of pressure down low, and when going to the loo, felt the horrible need to push. GP asked for a urine sample, and said - TMI - it was cloudy and showed traces of blood. So he put me on Amoxil, sent sample off to lab with a copy of results to be sent to our OB as well. At the same time, my back started hurting again, and I was worried that it was my kidneys ( not good considering my family history) so a phone call to my mum and she asked me heaps of questions and said she thought it might've just been the infection transferring pain around to my back. I suspect she told me that to calm me down though LOL!

Anyway, will catch up with you all later

Hey guys

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be having a little break from bellybelly...

It really saddens me to do this...but I'm just finding I get so involved on BB, that my 'offline' life is getting more and more disorganised...

I just need to spend some time getting things in order and hopefully I'll be back.

I wanted to say, from the depths of my heart...THANKYOU!!! This site was a true godsend after 2.5 years of feeling very alone in our LTTTC journey. The advice, support and understanding that has been offered to me, truly made a difference...and for that I'm so grateful.

Special thanks to Sushee, Sez (Janie), Mako, Flowerchild and Mantaray...your online friendship, support and advice is so valued.

Big hugs to all the PALTTTC chickies (many who are now mummies after LTTTC!) It's been an honour sharing your journey with you!

All the very best to two LTTTC girls that I have shared part of the journey with...Butterfly Warrior and BeiBei...I wish you guys all the very very best...and look forward to returning one day and seeing your dreams fulfilled.

To everyone else...thanks so much and take care...

I'm off (and I'm going to!)...I hope to be back...but until then, happy days!

Hi ladies
I am a little scared at the moment and hope someone can help me out with an answer. I had a blood test today becasue I spotted again and my HCG is 42 200..the nurse said it was on the lower end for 8 weeks but still healthy, should I be worried. Is this the calm before the storm. I am having a scan tomorrow but in the meantime I feel like Im going to break!

[mako]

Carla I'm not sure about your levels hun but I just want to wish you all the very best for your scan tomorrow. Take care and know that I'm thinking of you

Monnie I replied to you in the Parenting thread hun. But once again I just want to say that I wish you all the best and hope to see you back here soon. And thanks for all your support and advice and friendship you given me. Take care chickie
