Pregnancy after LTTTC July/Aug 07

BIG Congrats BG! :clap:

oooh keen - twin girls - congratulations - how exciting!!!


well, i may have spoken too soon - have had a bit of bright bleeding today, so just waiting to see what happens - i guess it's just a waiting game - resting up at the moment to see what eventuates - really nothing much i can do at this stage

BG - I was so happy to hear that you will be joining us & I am praying that the bleeding will stop & is nothing to worry about, let us know how you go.

Mako - haven't had the cankles YET!
I seem to get every other pg symptom, lol.
I know what you mean about putting bubs stuff somewhere, when my dad walked into bub's room the other day he said 'so where are you going to put the baby'.

Monnie - how are you & ziggy going?

As for me today I've had a few pains in tummy, I am assuming i'm doing some more growing ut it's just so hard to know if these things are normal?

Jo - 27 (treated endo)
Dh - 34
Second chlomid / IUI March 2007 - :bfp:

Hi guys, a quick hello and checking on Monnie...it seems no news for Ziggy yet...

BG, it was so exciting to read that you saw the second line and I have all my fingers and toes crossed that it will be a super sticky one!

Thanks so much for checking up on me Beibei...what a lovely thing to do...so appreciate your sweetness! How are you doing, chickie? Thinking of you.

Well...nothing really big happening...tightenings continuing every now and then...baby has slowed down in his/her movements (which I hear can be a good sign)...and I'm feeling really tired (had lots of nanna naps today)...

So...who knows if any of those things mean anything...hoping so...this waiting thing is very strange...it's like waiting for the most amazing thing of your life, knowing it's going to happen, but just having no idea how or when...very strange...

I look at the dates in the next week and wonder if any of them will become one of the most important dates of my life...such a weird feeling...

Jo...I found that my belly would go through growth spurts every few weeks and then settle again...I'm sure that's what those tummy pains are...

BG...wishing you all the very very best...hoping that everything is wonderful...I'll be thinking of you.

Mako...I used to find that the cankles were normally a sign that I had pushed things a bit...with the massage, apparently it just needs to be quite gentle...gently nudging the fluid out of the foot area...

and talking about dogs and babies...we took Kenny (our dog) for a drive the other day with the baby seat in the back...was wondering how he would react to it, but he hardly blinked an eyelid at it!!! When ziggy is born, I've heard it's a good idea to send home a worn babysuit so our fur baby can get used to the new little brother/sister!!!

This morning we all had a sleep in...with both Kenny and myself being cuddled by DH...it was such a lovely thing...really special...except between my snoring and Kenny's doggy dreams (muffled barking), poor DH just lay there wide awake!!!

Keen...hope you are doing okay chickie...I read your other post and posted there, but just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you.

Monnie It sounds like things might be starting to get ready to happen re the nana naps, bubs movements slowing down etc. How exciting. Your due date is TODAY woohoo!!!!!!
I know what you mean about the doggy dreams lol. Ours dreams all the time and has the muffled bark thing too. Its so very funny to watch and listen. Ours also sleeps on our bed and thats not going to change when bub arrives. I have planned not to bring the baby into our bed to sleep. I think I'll sleep alot better if he's in his cot. We also had the carseat out in the loungeroom a couple of weeks ago and let our boy sniff it and all the clothes and things. I've also heard what you said about bringing a suit or singlet home to be sniffed too. When we bring the baby home we'll lay him on the floor and let the dog sniff and do whatever he wants to within reason as I don't want to create any jealousy iykwim. I've also spoken to our vet about this and he seems to agree with our plan and he said he'd be very suprised if anything bad would happen as he has a fantastic temprement, but you can never be too careful.

BG How are things going with you today hun? Has the bleeding stopped???

Well I'm catching up with my mum today for lunch and then she really wants to go curtain shopping for bubs room. I've been putting this off for so long now that I need to do it just to get her off my back. I bought a window valance thing that matches bubs linen so I'm hoping we can get something to work in with that cause I know what mums taste is like when it comes to these things and its not very good lol.

monnie - it's all sounding good for you hun - not long now til ziggy puts in an appearance!

Mako - thanks for asking after me hun - went to the doctor this morning as bleeding has become much worse. waiting on blood test confirmation tomorrow, but both he and the clinic believe i have lost the baby - and it is likely to be labelled a chemical pregnancy - so i'm out of here again for now - and hoping next time i pop my nose in, it's in here for a good long nine months

Oh BG...so so sorry!

I'm thinking of you, chickie...and also waiting and hoping for the day that you'll not only be here but in the "babies born in _______ 2008" threads...

Take care...

thanks Monnie

i will still be lurking here waiting on the good news of Ziggy's arrival (and all the other lovely ladies in here that i have shared some part of my journey with)

Oh Briggsy's Girl - so sorry!
I've followed your TTC journal and was really getting my hopes up for you. Hope we can see you again here soon.

Hey BG all the best hun.... hope to see you for good next time.

BG I'm so very sorry that you are going through this yet again.Please take care of yourself and know that I too can't wait for you to join this thread for a good 9 months next time.

BG- soooo sorry.. I too cant wait til your here... following your journey

Mako...hope your feeling that better

Ltl Panda...:clap: on your scan...

:hello: Smegs

Jo...i HEAR YOU ON THE reflux ! I been having hard time with it this pg

Marcellus.. How are you? yes PD and I made up...he still adjusting to this pg as it is his first child and he terrified.

Monnnie.. hope your well any signs of labour yet??? Keep us posted.

Kotare: congrats on the new home home... hope your not overdoing things getting things organised.

Sorry to pop in guys so quickly... been pretty hectic here. i finally started sort out my soon to be nursery (was the computer/ junk/paperwork/sewing room) I can finally see the floor!!!. But it soo dusty I will have to rip up the carpet... my sinuses have taken a battering over the past couple a days.
Be back soon guys
Keep well

Hey guys

No labour news as yet...today's my due date but I think I heard something like 2% of baby's are actually born on their EDD...so I guess I'm part of that 98%...

Feeling really heavy today...really heavy...been out and about today and I think that I'll really try to spend my days at home from now on...just get so tired and feel a little like a 'carnival attraction'...

Still very excited...also very emotional...doesn't take much for me to get teary at the moment...was listening to a beautiful piano concerto yesterday and burst into tears at the end of it!!!

Anyway...hope everyone is doing okay...

Monnie

Hi guys,

Just thought I would introduce myself - I have now been lurking for too long. I was too scared to post as I thought I might jinx myself - which is weird and it is also affecting the preparation for the bubs coming as I am also too scared to buy anything.

Anyway, it is 20 weeks today and I was extra extra lucky and got a positive on our first go at IVF. We also had a weird thing happen - one got put in and the egg split, so it looks like we are having identical twins. Which I think my doctor was a little disappointed about as he wanted it to be an easy safe single birth.

Anyway - I feel like I know all of you after hanging around for so long. Monnie, good luck with everything - I am looking forward to hearing the details.

BG - I am sorry to hear your news, I look forward to seeing you here soon.

Hi to everyone else!

Mstickles...CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME!!

What amazing news! 20 weeks with identical twins...so excited for you!

So thrilled! Glad you're able to join us here at PALTTTC...it's a lovely place to be...

No news on my front...been ironing and vacuuming and dusting today...so maybe that's a sign...feel pretty exhausted but just couldn't stand the dust anymore!!! It's amazing how I've developed this incredible sensitivity to dust and dirt in the last couple of weeks...LOL!!! We live in a pretty clean house but everywhere I look recently seems filthy!!!

How's everyone else doing?

Welcome Mstickles and congratulations on twins!
My DH and I were kinda hoping that our emby would split into identicals, but wasn't to be. DH partly because he has this idea that we're going to have six children.... I ask him who is going to "have" the other three.

So, Monnie, soon I think you're going to have to have a serious chat with Ziggy. ;) We all wait with bated breath...
Take care

Hi monnie hi miss tickles
I feeling really down today.. got another call from geneticist..more blood tests seems theres yet another problem. I'm beginning to wonder if this pg was ment to be. Just when i thinks its all clear i hit another hurdle

soory guys just needed a bit of a winge today

Welcome Mstickles and congratulations on having identical twins on the way :clap:

Monnie It sounds like youv'e still got the nesting instinct going on hun. Thats a good sign lol. I'm sending you lots and lots and lots and lots on L.V's .

Wow marcellas Your dh wants 6 babies. I'd be asking him where they are all coming from lol. My dh wants 2 and thats it. I think I've resigned myself to that number aswell. I used to always say that I'd love to have 4 before I was 30. Thats definately not going to happen now lol.

ALR Sending you :hug: hun. I'm sure all will work out ok for you and your bub. You don't need to appologise either as we are all entitled to get our feelings out and thats what we are here for. Take care chickie.

Not heaps to report here. I have my ob appointment in the morning and I have to say that I'm looking forward to that. My hands and feet are swollen again atm. I don't think I've over done anything today. I've done some ironing and then went to work for a couple of hours this afternoon and thats it ,so who knows? Anyway thats about all thats going on. I can't believe that I'll be in the 3rd trimester as of Thursday. Where has the time gone??

I hope you are all doing well :D

ALR...so sorry to hear about your phonecall...I've posted in your other thread, but just wanted to say that I'm thinking of you and just hoping that everything works out wonderfully. Hang in there, chickie!

Marcellus...yep...feel free to give Ziggy a little talking to...he/she doesn't seem to be listening to me much at the moment!!! Still doesn't feel like he/she has engaged...stubborn little thing! Let's hope it's a sign of a wonderful character of individuality developing!

Mako...send the LV's my way with gusto!!! Can't quite believe I'm this close...amazing! So hoping your hands and feet settle down. Is it anything to do with the weather? I know I had some swelling (probably about the same number of weeks as you) and I was really worried that it was going to continue...but it settled...like my body sort of figured out what to do with the extra fluid...wishing the same thing...all the best at your appointment tomorrow!

Hope everyone else is doing well...

Thanks Monnie, Hope your little Ziggy makes up his/her mind soon! We all cant wait to say hi.

You must be so worried ALR - big hugs. Don't blame you for not wanting to talk to them any more.
And definately no need to apologise.
I'll be thinking about you and hoping for good news.

Yeah Mako, I was "supposed" to have kids before 30 too... oh well. I'm not 100% certain whether the six kids is for real or not. Given that it's taken 2 years to conceive, he is probably scaling back his expectations.

Keep nesting Monnie, maybe Ziggy will get the message.

Hi ladies,

Have recently found out I'm pregnant and can't believe it after trying for almost 4 years :dance: .................... still in lala land!

Its amazing how for all those years you are anxious about whether or not you are going to get pregnant and then when you finally get here you start to worry about other things such as will it continue to grow, will it be health etc......:cryinglaugh:

I am currently feeling quite nauseaous and my boobs are getting sorer...due to have first ultrasound on 27 August.

Look forward to sharing this miracle of a journey with you all... :grouphug:

Destiny...what fabulous news! Congratulations!

It is very surreal moving from the LTTTC mindset to the pregnancy mindset...I'm overdue and I still can't quite believe that we're going to have a baby!

Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy filled with beautiful moments!!!

Enjoy the ride...it's crazy but amazing!

Hi Girls

Monnie, I was so expecting to not see posts from you, in a good way though, Ziggy what are you doing darling, come on down.

Destiny, congratulations and welcome, wishing you all the best.

ARL, hun, I wish you all be best, hope this time passes and all will be ok.

Mako, your little one will be here in no time....

Mstickles, you lucky thing, identicall twins, what are the odds of that happening?

Marcellus hope all is well with you.

I am doing ok, have a sore chest at the moment, but doing ok.

Time for a new thread girls. It can be found here
