Meercat - Angus doesn't eat that much either really. At dinner I just serve whatever we are having and he usually picks at it, plays a bit and then will eat some more. He takes so long to eat it and if DH isn't at home and I am feeling lazy, I just give him something like fish fingers and sweet potato chips and let him eat it in front of In the Night Garden.
Hope it gets better for you, but don't worry too much Miss B, I'm sure he's getting enough..
Oh nat! I thought your due date must be coming up! Exciting
I can't imagine how hard ivf is miss b. I hope you get your bub before the end of the year.
Poor Hamish and his little willy! Poor bub.
Jemma is a hit n miss eater at the moment too. I just let her eat when she pleases throughout the day. At the moment she likes yoghurt cheese sticks and salt n vinegar and cheese n chive rice cakes.
Cucumber is a staple as is watermelon. She loves tacos but we aren't eating them every night!
So frustrating how one day she will love something and the next day won't even sniff it! Aargh! I love this age and hate it all at once!
afm, i am now late with af! i cant remember what date i got it last month only that it was 2 or 3 days before the date i normally get it. i figure there is no point stressing about it. if i am UTD then it means gods taken the decision of whether we want another baby or not out of our hands and into his! i think i better get some FR tests today tho. feeling icky the last couple of mornings lasting throughout the day too. spoke to my friend about it yesterday and she laughed saying that i was in denial and to just do a test! DH is like "but we have been careful", um honey not really! i had to try and explain the withdrawal method is not 100% reliable and safe :brickwall:
anyway better go and get ready for playgroup. will catch up with you lovelies later xxx
Teresa - not sure if it is a good or bad thing - but at least it made you really think about having number 2, because I know you weren't really sure..
41 weeks for me today & I had a stretch and sweep which I never had last time... Starting to chicken out about it all now, so hopefully things happen quickly.
Thanks Rach, I will be doing a cycle in September so hopefully this one will work! FX How is your pg going? Your 20 weeks scan is coming up, how exciting! I remember your PA announcement like it was yesterday! lol.
Nat, I hope your bub comes by him/her self very soon!! I hope you won't need an induction but somethimes that's better than keeping bub in there too long. Fingers crossed the stretch and sweep has worked Will be doing a stalky stalky on ya, GL sweetie
Teresa, that's annoying about your long cycle!! Hopefully it will regulate itself soon. Have you been stressed/worried about something? The only time my AF is late is if I am pg or really stressed..big hugs hun x
Meercat how is your pg going hun? Is Miss Tiah eating any more? Cam started to eat a bit better lately, thank God. I hope I haven't jinxed myself
So like I've mentioned before, I'm excited to be doing a new cycle of IVF in September. We'll be doing a new cycle where the follicle stimulant hormone is slowly released in the blood so the eggs and embryo quality is a lot better than it's been in the past as the ovaries are stimulated gently rather than being bombarded with drugs every day. So excited!!! I just wish I could get pg naturally, this IVF sucks big balls!!!!! It has given me my beautiful DSs so I'm always thankful for that
Hi b
It's going really smooth and fast thank goodness. I have had barely any morning sickness, no weird or unhealthy cravings (i can't get enough oranges or lime cordial) I have mood swings but nothing like my first pg! Ive only just got my appetite back though. Most the time has had me wondering if it's all my head it's been that unnoticeable! But clearly a baby on the ultrasound isn't in my head and I have a belly now so clearly I'm UTD . It's sad that recurrent miscarriage takes the excitement from it though. I've actually pulled out the bassinet to reiterate that it's actually happening. I think once I get full on kicks etc I will be ok as it's a constant reassuring reminder.
Thanks for asking honey x
Hi Miss B! I am going ok. Apart from the usual pregnancy stuff my anxiety has come back with a force so I am struggling a bit. Worried about DD, worried about this baby, worried about DP. It is exhausting! I am seeing my Dr today do hopefully he can tell me baby boy is fine and I can calm down.
She still is a crappy eater I think a lot of it is a fear of something hurting her tummy or making her throw up so she sticks to her safe foods?
On a good note though... We have had her in knickers all day today and had no accidents! Well... She hasn't. A poo in the potty had me throwing up on the floor lol
nat - i dont think its so much thinking of another baby its more accepting it if it happens! its really hard to think of whether we are happy or sad that i am not UTD. i think DH is slightly relieved but i wont be surprised if he tells me he wants another one soon. i think he is very clucky but just wont admit it!
meercat - oh gosh! you poor thing! poor tiah must have gone WT??? yay for no accidents on her behalf
miss b - good luck with your next cycle!
rach - thanks for all you support chicky. means a lot xx
ok so i am going to be completely honest here because i need to be to someone! i guess talking to DH next is also what i am going to have to do but if i am completely honest with myself yes i do want another baby. BUT i dont know if its for the right reasons. i want to know what its like to be pregnant right up to my due date, have my baby in the room with me the whole time, change their first nappy, feed them in that first few minutes or hours of life, get discharged the same day as my baby. i also want hamish to be a big brother. but i am so scared to go thru another pregnancy just in case its like my first one.
sorry but you girls were there with me from day one and i know i can tell you anything!
Teresa it is ok! It took DP and I having a scare to get me to admit I wanted another baby. Then I felt guilty, like I wasn't happy with Tiah and wanting another baby made me selfish.
And this pregnancy is 100% different to my first. I think it is perfectly reasonable to want those things... I missed out on skin to skin contact with Tiah and it is one of the things I am looking forward to most!
thats exactly what i am feeling meercat! that if i did have another one, it would take the focus completely from Hamish and i dont want that. gahhh its so hard and so frustrating!!
Well the day after my last post I went in to labour - hence why I haven't posted on here lately! This labour was so different from my first. People say that it is quicker the second time arouned and it really is true... I started getting mild contractions at about 1:30 in the afternoon and then by 6 my Mum told me that I really should call my DH who was still at work. So we got to the Birth Centre at 7:30 and I was 8cm dilated. After a little while I said to DH "why am I doing this? (drug free) I should just get an epidural and I can go to sleep" I had a student midwife looking after me mostly and I was a bit scared to ask about pain relief, but when I did she suggested a bath. So in I went and after a few contractions I yelled out "I can't do this" - just before my waters broke. Then a few contractions later I yelled out the same thing and the head popped out! It was such a lovely and peaceful experience - so, so different from when Angus was born... Funny, I was really scared about the birth, but I could go back and do it tomorrow - just can't do the pregnancy again
Hugo is doing really well. He's putting lots of weight on, although he was already 4.14kgs when he was born. Angus loves him so much and everything I was worried about before, like Angus feeling left out, is definately not the case. The only thing he gets funny about sometimes is the amount of time Hugo spends feeding and he comes over and says "no more drinkin'" and tries to get Hugo away from me - but it doesn't happen very often. He's such a good little helper and always brings me nappies, wipes etc for Hugo.
Rach - is it taking forever for you? My pregnancy just dragged on forever + a week and 1 day!! Now I can't believe it was almost 3 weeks ago that he was born. Are you going to get some pictures done? We did the other day, but I wish I started looking up photographers before he was born. I found this one that was reasonably priced, but I'm not really happy with what she did. I really wanted one with both boys, but Angus wasn't co operating on the day (he was tired) and she didn't even offer for us to come back on another day. Anyway, hope it is all going well for you...
Teresa - talking to an ob seems like a good idea. When exactly is anyone really ready for another baby? I had my concerns even after I was pregnant, but I know we did it at the right time. The boys will be close in age and it means I can go back to work sooner. The fact that you are settled for the next few years is really good. We are in the same positions for the next 3 years, although unfortunately DH is in a really demanding role and comes home late every night. Just as well my Mum is with us for the next 6 months I hope it all works out for you soon and you can add another one to your family! Oh and I remember you saying something in a previous post about wanting the next birth to be different to your last. Mine was and I felt so empowered after.
Rooey - that's horrible, but I hope everything gets better for you ((hugs))
that is so cute! i dont know if hamish would understand that i was having another baby. i think he would. he seems to understand everything else but chooses not to listen or do it lol
