You sound so tranquil Monnie. You are an inspiration.
Smegs - me and DH are trying to pretend that i'm not pg, but it's too too hard. We are getting worse every day!!

Ok, so i'm kidding myself that i feel great. I have tried to pretend that i am fine, and i thought that if i ignored it and didn't verbalise it, it wouldn't be so bad. But ignoring it didn't work. I FEEL ICKY :doh:
It's hard when you are LTTTC and AC - I sort of feel I should be grateful for the m/s...at least i am pg. But it doesn't make the icky-ness any better!!!
It's not so bad though...eating little bits very often helps a lot. I can't drink a whole glass of water in one go anymore. Takes about 1hr now!!
Hope everyone is feeling well, and I am sooo looking forward to getting Monnie's pg announcement!!! Sooo exciting - that'll be all of us one day :dance:
Oh Kotare...sorry you are feeling icky...it's not nice, hey? I think you have every right to feel blurgh about the m/s regardless of LTTTC or AC...yep...it's wonderful being pregnant...but there are definite downsides to the whole experience too...and we have as much right as others to have moans and groans!
Throughout the first trimester (and some of the second...until the happy hormones kicked in), I remembered thinking "this pregnancy thing is not so great!"...I was feeling tired and blurgh most of the time...and thought that those around me were probably thinking I wasn't being very grateful or excited...but then I realised "that's okay!"...
Anyway...good on you for verbalising your ickiness...very healthy, I think!
Thanks for the beautiful comment about the tranquility...so appreciated! What a gorgeous thing to say...so encouraging...
No news on the labour front yet...I was sort of hoping that today was going to be the day (not that I'm due yet...but I just liked the symmetry of the date!) Oh well!
Hope everyone is doing well...take care!
Someone's got their scan today...is it Mango? Looking forward to hearing great news!
Hey girls
well monnie, you keep on relaxing girl until the little one moves on down.
Kotare, good on you girl for bringing it up, that’s what we are all here for, a place to laugh, cry, whinge and so on.
Smegs when is your scan?
Mako, how did you go at the GP?
not much for me, got the energy to go to the gym on Monday and Today and hope it continues.
all is well here.
Monnie you sound so relaxed sweety. You really are an inspiration :)
Kotare You have as much right to complain and whinge and also enjoy(when the time comes) throughout this pregancy as any one else regardless of the way you became pregnant. There is such a stigma around when you struggle to become pregnant that you are not supposed to feel icky let alone metion that you do feel yuk kwim and its awful.
Smegs I bet you are happy that you don't have to have any more b/ts for a little while. Just sit back and relax and enjoy as much as possible now and take good care of yourself. All the best for your scan next week.
Ltl Panda Good on you for having the energy to go to the gym.Please don't over do it though.
I got on ok at the gp yesterday although I do have dermetitis on my arms and is most likely related to the strong chlorine in the pool at work. I do have some cream to put on so that should help clear it up. I'm disappointed now though as my gp told me that she is leaving next week. I have been going to her for years and was hoping that she'd get to meet our baby. I told her that we are having a baby boy and told her what his name will be. She said she hadn't heared it before and that she loved it. I love the fact that we've decided on a name that isn't too common :D
Anyway I'd better go as my dog is due to get a bath anytime now and I have to go back to work soon too. I'll come back in tomorrow to see how everyone is going.
Hiya
Yeah, I'm totally hanging out to see a pg announcement Monnie. Are you getting impatient at all? You don't sound it... So calm and together. :D
Smegs, enjoy the stick-free times. I find it kinda annoying to be kept hanging on like this. It's like every good result I have is just conditional on the next one... Think it would be easier to just be left alone.
I know what you mean about whinging. I've been complaining to DH and my family about how bad I feel, but not to my LTTTC friend, cause I figure she probably doesn't want to hear about it. Another friend (who got pg accidentally - gah, that still bothers me, though it shouldn't) I can talk about it with, though she's not terribly sympathetic.
Oh yeah, almost everybody knows we're pg cause we were doing IVF. Didn't tell other relatives, but then I ended up in hospital because of OHSS and mum told all about IVF. My aunt asked mum the other day "So, this IVF attempt, it didn't work?". Mum's like, er, No, not really... she so can't lie. One of my cousins did IVF a bunch of times and probably knows that if OHSS doesn't go away it means you're likely pg. Oh well... Anyway, my big bloated belly is the other thing I've been whinging about.
gee, i feel better now :rolleyes:
Too bad about your GP Mako. Mine moved recently but I managed to track him down a couple of suburbs over.
You are good to go to the gym Ltl Panda - I thought I was doing well yesterday to get through the day without a nap...
hehehe, so cute marcellus, when you need a nap you just gotta have one....
Mako, so sorry, probably missed it somewhere but what name did you decide on?
Hehehe...IKWYM!!! A good moan goes a long way :p:
I can't believe you went to the gym Ltl Panda!! There was an ad on telly for some exercise equipment and i told them to sod off and stop showing off!!
Mako - you seem very active and busy. I hope your skin clears soon, and also did you get your gp to recommend someone else? Once i got my gp to recommend someone else where i was moving too, as they often meet great people at conferences etc.
Thanks for all the positive reinforcement everyone. It really makes me smile everyday, and i know i'll be able to get through all this.
Ltl Panda...the gym! I'm impressed...well done!
Kotare...I know what you mean about the positive reinforcement and support in this thread...it's so wonderful!
Mako...you have me absolutely intrigued regarding your little boy's name...ohhh...can't wait to hear it...though I think I remember you saying that it might be under wraps for the moment...can't quite remember...very exciting! Washing the dog, hey? Our dog HATES baths...the only way I can get him to have a wash is if I take him in the shower with me!!!
Marcellus...I'm trying really hard not to be impatient...I sort of figure that this is a really special time...my last days before becoming a Mum...and as much as I can't wait to see our little one, I'm trying to really enjoy these days of waiting...trying to reflect, relax and savour the little luxuries in life (e.g. uninterrupted naps) that I may not have again for some time...
Hope everyone else is doing well...
Monnie, this morning my eyes glazed over reading your post, It is such a special moment in your life as you mentioned "trying to reflect, relax and savour the little luxuries in life (e.g. uninterrupted naps) that I may not have again for some time..." I guess this is the time to sit back and look back at the ups and downs on achieving the pregnancy and than the pregnancy itself, and how soon you will be holding the little miracle in your arms and planning a future for them.
So cannot wait to be in your shoes
Sorry girls to keep you all intrigued about my little boys name but it is a secret until he's here safely with us.
Monnie I have to admit that DH and I cheat a bit when it comes to bathing our dog. We have a mobile dogwash come every 2 weeks and it makes life so much easier and our boy loves it. Although we have put him in the bath tub on a few occasions and he doesn't like that too much lol.
You are so right about enjoying the moments of pregnancy. I have to say that while its going to be fantastic to have our bub with us, I think I'm going to miss feeling him kicking and moving in my tummy too.
Kotare I'm really not all that active hun. I do try to be and I guess I'm lucky that I get to do some exercise while I'm at work(swimming teacher) otherwise the only other form of exercise I get is taking my gorgeous black labrador for a walk which he loves.
It is a bummer about my gp leaving and the worst part is she's moving interstate (so I can't really follow her lol. I did get a recommendation of another dr in the same practice so may try them out sometime). My skin is still very itchy and red but the cream should start to work in the next few days. My cold is also a bit better now as I just have a cough, so I can't complain too much.
I've been busy getting my baby shower guest list sorted out and invites posted. I didn't want to have one so when I finally agreed I just said I wanted something small and as its turned out 43 people are invited :rolleyes: I'm sure not all of these people will turn up but it is alot more than I expected lol. Oh well it should be a fun day catching up with everyone.
I hope you are all doing well.
Mako...we haven't really announced our baby name choices either...I have to some family and a few friends but that's about it...mainly because I didn't necessarily want to get everyone's opinions on whether they like them or not...most people don't seem to like our girl's name...but that's okay...it is a little different...but I sort of like that!
I've wondered about a mobile dogwash but Kenny hates his baths so much, I didn't think he would go for this either...maybe we should try one day...he's such a little scruff...love him to bits though...
All the best with the baby shower...I'm sure it will go wonderfully...when is it?
Ltl Panda...thankyou for such a lovely message...I can't wait to see you in my shoes too! It won't be that long!!!
I can't wait to for all of our babies to enter this world...so so exciting!
Monnie I know what you mean about everyones opinion about the names. I'm like you and like something a bit different too.
Maybe Kenny would like to have someone else give him his bath. My boy Mako( hence where my username comes from lol) love having the man come to bath him. He gets so excited running to the front door to let me know its his bath time. I tell him the morning of "bath day" that it is bath day today and he looks at me as if he knows what I'm saying( I'm sure he does lol. So much personality)
My baby shower is the 26th of this month.So only a couple of weeks away really.
Hey Mako...maybe we should try Kenny in a mobile dogwash and just see how he goes...
I'm sure your baby shower will be fantastic...and to have so many people celebrating your little boy is wonderful! And just think of the pressies!!!
Morning girls
I too am looking for a different name, DH is Greek and I am Romanian, so we want a name that is a little unusual, so I do not think I will be telling anyone until the little one out.
I have my scan tomorrow, really looking forward to it, ms has eased of and so I do not really feel pregnant and this will just slap me in the face and say yes you are……..
Will let you know how I went tomorrow.
GL tomorrow Ltl Panda. It'll be so cool. Let us know how it went.
Ohhh...can't wait Ltl Panda...all the very best!
How many weeks are you now?
Hi All,
sorry to intrude, but I have been foolowing this thread for a while, I wanted to see how you were feeling monnie?
