Hey I was thinking about the fact that maybe we need trimester by trimester threads for Pregnant after LTTTC (cos what an amazing and wonderful year of BFPs! there are now so many of us!) Then a few recent posts I've read made me think maybe there are others who might like to talk about just those third trimester niggles, joys and worries with the added history of LTTTC. I know for me it feels somehow so much more real and close, and I feel like I have really relaxed into the preganancy, and yet am also still quite frightened at times. There is so much more to lose at this late stage.
Anyway, here is the thread, anyone want to join in? xx
It's been such a great year for PG after LTTTC - I can't believe how many of us there are, and they just keep coming!
Like you, I feel so much more relaxed now. The whole first trimester was a nightmare of anxiety, having miscarried previously, but it's really reduced now. I'm pretty apprehensive about the birth though, but mostly I really just want to meet my baby.
Only 8 weeks to go for us on Monday!
How are you feeling physically? It's starting to get a little bit tough for me, not sleeping very well etc.
I've only got two more weeks of work - can't wait to finish!
Yay Devon! Thanks for joining in . It so exciting seeing the weeks count down hey? I said to DH this morning - in about 5 weeks our bubs will be considered fully cooked!! OMG
We must be in a parallel universe - I also finish work in 2 weeks, and am hanging out for it. Sleeping - I had a bad patch but improved the bed by folding a doona in half and sleeping on top of that. I was and still do sometimes wake up with aching butt cheeks, sounds weird I know . But my pilates teacher said in pregnancy the glutes take a lot of strain so it makes sense. Just have to stretch when I remember.
Also starting to get tired again, just don't have the same sort of stamina. Now if only this bub would turn around, I would feel a little more relaxed. I know its early days but I like to get prepared early..
Yay for only two weeks of work! I just can't wait. I only work four days a week, so I've got 8 more work days to go. I think once I finish the baby's arrival is going to feel even closer. I'm looking forward to properly setting up and decorating the nursery with my mum, and I want some more mental space to get my head around what is happening, that we're actually having a baby. It's easy for the focus to drift off the baby when I'm busy with work and all the other demands of life. I want to give him a bit more attention.
How is your bub sitting at the moment? Have you been reading stuff on getting him/her to turn?
Have you got your names sorted out yet? We have a frontrunner, but still want to have other options in case the name we've got doesn't suit him when he arrives. Unfortunately the name we like is also the name of a friend of ours, but it's just so hard to find names we like that suit our surname.
I'm exhausted today. Yesterday DH and I took our dogs to the beach, and walked for about half an hour. Then I swam 50 laps in my parents' pool (maybe about 800 m), and afterwards I was shattered. Just can't do as much as I used to be able to. But I'm trying to get more exercise because I had a gestational diabetes scare, and I suspect that I do have some blood sugar issues, so I'm really trying hard to keep it under control.
Hey belly buddies
Great idea Numa thanks and hope you dont mind me jumping in!
My little girl will be here 6 weeks on tuesday and im really starting to freak out, i havent organised anything and we have everyone staying over chrissi so i cant sort out her room oh well, im sure it will all happen!!!
Also very tired and very hormonal at the moment and startin to get a tad uncomfy, also heaps of BH's which i didnt have with DS so very strange, little Ava is head down already which is good but im sure there is still a chance she will turn back not that it really matters with the CS.
Are any of you having a 3d scan done, im going to have one on wednesday should be fun.
I have had chrissi functions all weekend and the heels, pregnancy and SPD definately dont mix. i actually had a huge stack on friday night at the resturant, which was sooooo embarrassing, pulled a few muscles and have a massive bruise on my arm!! i am almost 6 ft (over that with heels) and quite big build and i felt like such a big goof, but i tell you i have never jumped up so quick
Well look forward to keeping up with you all, this is such a great idea as i do find it hard to keep up with the other thread now (isnt it soo great that there are so many girls in there now!) well hope your having a great weekend
Hey Scooby, happy to hear from you and glad you found the thread! I think I put it in the wrong section - it should be in Pregnancy after LTTTC. I have asked the mods to move it but we'll see.... Now am hoping BW and Miss C find us as well
How exciting only 6 weeks to go!! And having a 3D scan! I'm not sure if I have any more scans of any sort...My OB usually just listens to the heartbeat. You poor thing having a stack, where was DH to catch you when you need him. Last time I wore heals we went to a wedding reception and I told DH I had to have him nearby every time I was walking - I'm pretty bad with heels at the best of times!
Devon I'm impressed with your 50 laps of the pool - no wonder you were exhausted! Were you given the all clear for GD or was it borderline? My first test was high but the second test was normal...But I have been craving sweet things lately, way more than is good for me I think!
We have a shortlist of names, its quite hard picking really, especially finding ones we both like. The first name will be Indian origin, and the middle name German/Hungarian - basically in honour of both our family backgrounds (I also have English Aussie on my Dad's side). But we want the names to be easy to pronounce and sound good in an Australian context. So its not an easy task, but we have a shortlist of 3 names for both boy and girl and will wait till bubs is born to see which suits. I know what you mean by liking the name of a friend - one of the Indian boys names I really like and is really easy for Aussies to say and remember, belongs to a fairly recent friend, so we just had to let that one go...
I hear you on the feeling of needing some mental space for bubs. I'm so looking forward to finishing work and just focussing on bubs and our preparations. And I only work 3 days a week! But we are in the midst of renovations (not where we live thank god) so I count that as an extra day of work as we usually spend Fridays looking at tiles or door knobs or lights or having a site meeting etc. Thankfully there isn't much more we need to decide ourselves and soon I can just rest!
I've seen a few poses to try and encourage bubs to turn, and my acupuncturist has a method too but she said they don't use it till later. I should try and put my bum in the air more often! Supposedly getting your hips higher does something, although my OB is not convinced. Any tips?
I think I've blabbed on for long enough... Great chatting to you both Belly Buddies!
