I havent slept thru the night since the start of my ivf. I lay awake and overthink from usually 4am. Some nites its been 1am tho It doesnt help that we have to pee alot now im sure!
Just thought i would pop my head in here. So wonderful to see this thread continuing to grow and grow! Wishing all the newbies a very happy and healthy pregnancy!
I am still here, a couple of days off my due date but feeling like ill be around for a little longer.
Continue growing those little miracles nicely ladies, pregnancy does go by very very quickly so make the most of ever moment!
Juniper, it is a really hard decision to make and one ultimately for you and your husband. I wish mums could be more understanding and just accept our wishes, but speaking about my own, although she means well, I could have strangled her at the time for adding to my stress in an incredibly stressful situation because SHE wanted to tell the world I was PG when WE didn't want her to. It made me feel like we should have kept it to ourselves and only told her when we wanted the world to know - because once mum knows, everyone knows! My mum was the first person we told the good news to, and god I wish I hadn't told her when she was being difficult but that would have been a major wrong in mum's books if we kept it a secret from her! Your plan sounds like a good one. Let us know how it all goes.
Hi Paula, how are you feeling? Ready to meet your baby I imagine!
Airline, I had a terrible time in my first trimester with sleep, but I did IVF and had to take pessaries and tablets every six hours so set my alarm to wake myself up at some godawful hour of the morning, and then could never get back to sleep. Plus I needed to go to the toilet every half hour throughout the night. Then once I got into the second trimester the need to frequently go to the toilet ceased but very bad headaches started and also waking up at 2 or 3 am every night from about week 13 for a couple of weeks, from memory. I remember thinking the 2nd semester was supposed to be the good one! But it's got better now (I'm week 20) apart from feeling tired and getting achy feet! Ha, ha. Oh the joys of being UTD!
Hi Girls, just popping by. So many fresh faces, it's just so wonderful to see!!!
Well tomorrow is my last day as a "non mummy" as we are booked in for an induction on Thursday!! I'm so awfully excited, and terrified all in one. But soon enough we will be meeting our little man.
Ninah - my goodness, one more day to go! How exciting! I hope all goes nice and smoothly for you, have a wonderful time meeting McPeanut, and look forward to hearing all about it!
Paula - ooooh, getting so close now! Hope your feeling good sweetie, and nice and relaxed. Sounds like you're not feeling much movement at the station yet? Hopefully baby Tiana will surprise you and come out the day she is expected!
Jaki80 - you probably would've had your scan by now, can't wait to hear the news! Sorry to hear about the insomnia, its a bugger, isn't it? I've NEVER had a problem falling asleep til I was pg - first trimester was worse than it is now though. At (almost) 18 weeks, I'm only waking to pee (only once a night- yay!) now, and can get back to sleep pretty quickly.
airline and Jaki80 - afraid to say I too was like rather windy in my first trimester. As Lairdoz said, its the progesterone slowing your digestive system down. I was quite bloated (on top of the bloating from OHSS) - I looked like I was 6 months pregnant for a while! Make sure you keep your fluids and fibre up. I also burped a lot, it was totally charming - a whoopee cushion at one end, Barney from the Simpsons at the other! DH was rather taken aback, as it always seemed to get worse when I lay down in bed at night, so he copped it Its settled down now.
airline - sorry to hear that you're suffering MS, glad its not the vomity kind. I hear you on DHs behaving differently to us. My DH too would've been happy for us to just rock up to a function with a baby, and go "surprise! Look what we did!". Having said that, now he's in the swing of it, I think he's enjoying telling people. And as for the spa - we didn't have one in our place, but I think its best to avoid them (especially in the first trimester when your cervix is still sealing itself off, from memory? someone correct me if I'm wrong). I've avoided baths full stop til now for fear of overheating myself (I like them nice and hot!), but had a couple on the weekend, not too hot.
Brunette - great to hear you had a lovely weekend, and your friend's wedding was good. As for our trip to the Hunter - I was the one doing the chauffering, unfortunately! Hehe. Not to worry, I'll get my own back, one day...
Juniper76 - sorry DH is giving you grief about the issue. Glad you decided against your mum telling BFF's mum, sounds like a safer option to leave them til later - you don't want everyone finding out through FB! I lived in fear of that for a while, when only a few people knew. I think your plan to let your mum tell her friend while you are there at dinner sounds like a good one, that way you and DH can get the congrats personally, and then take over the story telling (and leave out any bits you don't want mentioned). See what DH says, I guess.
Worrywart - good to hear your brother's names are totally different to yours. They sound like they would be very amusing, from what you've posted! If you're worried about them changing their minds, could you have a discreet word in your bro's ear about the names you want, and "bags" them? I'm feeling lucky at this point reading all the name dilemmas, no other babies gonna pop out before ours, so I've got a clear run of it! Lots of names I liked have already been taken on the other hand, so we're struggling a bit to get a shortlist going.
Better go, I'm making soup, inspired by this miserable winter's day! Hi to anyone I've missed
