Canadian Moms, what was your hospital stay like?

ceejie — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:24:36 GMT

Basically I am curious what your stay in the hospital was like when you gave birth? What did you need to bring? What did the hospital supply?

I know I still have lots of time to worry about this, but I see all these "hospital bag" posts, and I was wondering what applies to Canadian ladies? I know every time I've been in the hospital for surgeries the hospital provided pretty much everything I might need....so what was the case when you gave birth?

Thanks

ETA: Also, how long was your hospital stay??

Strange period...what does it mean?!

20something — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:23:16 GMT

Hi Ladies,

wondering if anyone else has had the same, and what it could be?

11-12DPO - beige/pink coloured mucus, once on each day when wiping
14DPO - AF arrives as expected (along with temp drop and bad cramps) but is light and very very watery with clear mucus. colour is a very bright dark pink.
15DPO (today) - light/watery bleed continues. colour same as previous.

the two odd things are the watery/mucusy-ness and the colour (usually it would have turned a claret red by now)

any thoughts? trying not to read into it, but this has never happened to me before and its making me loopy :wacko:

^^^3 DPO!!^^^Going crazy already!;)

Smooch — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:19:22 GMT

Hoping evil AF stays away..she's not welcome..lol
Going to be testing on the 20th...bring on the BFP:happydance:
Feeling a bit crampy and bloaty today...hoping this will be the month for all of us testing!

My Ovulation Chart

I've decided...

Ms_CJ — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:15:47 GMT

Letting infertility get me down is not helping me. It's not going to make me conceive. It won't make me feel better. It won't help my marriage. All it will help me do, is stay miserable. And I don't want that. It's not healthy.

So I have decided to just accept it for what it is. It hasn't happened yet, but that doesn't mean it never will. Maybe some of you aren't Christians (and that's fine), but I have decided to give this one to God. I trust that He hasn't allowed me to have a baby yet for a reason. Maybe there's a few more things that need to happen in my life before I have a baby. I may not know what they are, and maybe I am not supposed to know. Maybe I am just supposed to let those things happen on their own.

I've lost my faith over the last year and a half, and maybe this is what I needed to get myself back on track. I've been reading older blogs from my faithful days, and honestly I was a much happier person back then. Reading them (the blog posts) made me wonder what happened to me.

Anyway, I just needed to vent... and for once, it wasn't negative! :headspin:

Countrygirlrm — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:07:57 GMT

Hello can please someone help me I took a Clearblue digital test it came back pregnant! Then I went out and got First response test and I took two they both came back Neg. fast no faint lines nothing. Well I looked that the Clearblue Exp . date it is 2/2012 so I dont know if that would give me that also I had left that out in the car in the freezing cold weather and are moody weather lately its been getting hot and cold. I dont know if that played a factor to it either. I am not late for my period but right now I am very confused of am I or am I not? I did pull apart the Clear blue test and the battery actually is corroding...I dont know but I would love some feed back.

Suggestions on what to order?

PitaKat — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:00:59 GMT

For Valentine's Day my husband and I are going to try out an Indian restaurant. Neither of us have ever had indian food before, and so have no idea what to order! What Indian dishes are you partial to?

Oops, forgot to add that I like spicy foods, but my husband prefers more mild dishes.

Going through caffeine withdrawal

mommybear1977 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:57:37 GMT

I was reading how bad it is to drink a lot of caffeine while pregnant so have cut down to almost nothing but between being tired from being pregnant and not having caffeine I am dying. Is there anything that anyone can suggest to make this transition easier, like maybe a food or something that will give me some extra energy but is safe for the baby?

9 dpo and big symptoms all but gone.

Tryingforfour — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:56:29 GMT

I'm 9 dpo and bbs were killing me for last week. Today hardly at all. CM almost gone... Also not nearly as hot as I've been. But still really cramping. Bad signs of AF?

I am new! Trying to concieve for over a year.

AshleyJoel12 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:52:33 GMT

Greetings ladies. I just found out about this cite and am very much excited to be here amongst women going through possibly the same thing I am.

I am 25 years old and my husband and I married almost 2 years ago. We have dated for 5 years before we became married! Basically we have been trying to start our family for over a year now. it's been a rollar coaster, and something that has defiitely challenged both of us! we're praying every day that we are blessed soon.

So far I have had a blood test done, and just recently did that procudre where they put dye up in me to see if my tubes were blocked. Which they weren't. So now before we take any other steps, we will continue for a couple more months to get pregnant.

My husband and i both are marathon runners and do triathlons/ironmans. I have given up my workout habits and have gained some healthy weight. it was a hard transition. but i know that me giving this up will all be worth it in the end. :)

Hoping to meet some women on here that I can relate to. but i just wanted to introduce myself. not even sure im using this cite right! :)

Help!!! My LO wont stop throwing up!!!

Soon5kids — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:51:29 GMT

So as the title states, my lo won't stop throwing up. He threw up alot when I was bf and now with ff he is still having the same problem. And he screams and fussy most of the day. the dr. said that it might be reflux and prescribed some reflux medication. But he is still having alot of pain at times when eating. We are now on our 2 type of formula and he is still spitting up after every feed. I just don't know what to do for my lil man.:cry: I feel helpless right now. has anyone experienced this with any of thier children?

Calling all tweakers/line spotters!!!

sweetmere — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:49:36 GMT

I'm not sure I see anything here unless I tweak it majorly, but it's only 9dpo. I will be testing again at 11dpo!!

What do you all think?

Freaking out! 12 DPO & got a bfp but need opinions!

ashley78016 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:44:18 GMT

So while me and the hubs were grocery shopping I decided to pick up some tests, got home and took one..expecting the normal bfn. I was sitting on the couch waiting for the 3 minutes to be up when my hubby grabbed the test and asked what a positive looked like, I said two pink lines. He was like well it's negative. Not even looking at it I got into the shower and went about my business then I decided to look at it... A VERY VERY VERY faint line! Promptly took another test and within two minutes the same Very very very faint line appeared on that... The test I bought are the cheap dollar tree ones, I don't want to get all excited for nothing so I wanted to get some imput! Today I am 12 dpo, expected start of af is tomorrow.I am having leg cramps and feel like I'm getting a cold but other than that no symptoms (that's why it doesn't feel real) ...my cp is soft and facing forward. Not too high and not too low! So does anyone have Any opinions? Also took my temp earlier 97.1 please help. I tried posting a picture but I can't figure it out with this iPad. Thanks :baby: baby dust too all <3

Who will be ovulating on/around 2/17?

hello_kitty — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:37:35 GMT

Hiya ladies!
went to the dr's office today and got my hcg level tested just to ease my mind, it was a 1 =( but that only gives me new hope of trying again this month. Only 4 days away until my fertility week begins. Based on my calculations, I will be ovulating on 2/17. My last cycle after the m/c was 35 days, but it was 28-29 days before so dont know if it will go back to 28-29 days or stay at 35 days now, either way I will definitely try to get as much bd in as possible. Are you ladies getting ready and excited? Any changes that you are going to make this time around? Baby dust to all!

Dying to take a hot bath!

MamaGrl — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:27:11 GMT

I take baths all the time. Im addicted to hot water. I feel crampy and tired and just want to soak. I read that its ok as long as i dont spend too much time in there. Plus Im in the process of moving this weekend and already took down my shower curtain without thinking about it. bath is the only option lol. how do you ladies feel about it??

Coming home without baby

Jaylynne — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:26:47 GMT

Hi, I had an emcs at almost 33 weeks due to severe preeclampsia and my placenta abrupting. Liam was born Sunday and I got discharged today and have cried since getting home. He's still in the NICU and I feel like I abandoned him even though logically I know I didn't. The hospital is over an hr drive away and I plan on going every day to see him. Is this normal to cry and think I'm a horrible mom for not being by his side 24/7?

OWWW! My knees!

Shandijo — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:21:14 GMT

My knees are killing me! the past week I have not been able to sleep well because of the pain. My ankles and butt hurts too but not near as much. I actually ended up in tears last night because of the pain. It is always worse at night and it does not matter how active or inactive I have been throughout the day. It is starting to kick in now again. comes and goes throughout the day but 100x worse at night. Anyone else dealing with this? How have you dealt with it? Tylenol isn't doing a thing and the pillow between the legs is KINDA helpful. But owwey i hurt :wacko:

Your favorite maternity bra?

Silverlilly — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:18:41 GMT

I'm growing out of my bra! It's underwire, and the wire is feeling restrictive...is there anything else that is more comfortable but gives similar support? I know it won't equal underwire, but they say it's not good to wear this type anyways...sooo...recommendations?

A baby changes EVERYTHING...it happened today.

greenbeans12 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:17:57 GMT

Okay girls, some of you know and some don't but I got into a HUGE fight with my sister last night. She had a c-section and told me I wasn't welcome to come and see my niece until today (long long long story).

I was really hurt and sad. I cried most of last night. I was really angry this morning but still drove out to visit my sister and my new niece (Layla).

I walked into her room wanting to confront her....and I was faced with this....and my heart melted and I forgot about being sad and angry. To hear her cry and watch her smack her lips because she wanted the breast was sooo adorable. I wasn't even in the room 5 seconds and I fell in love!

Introducing Layla Rosalyn weighing 4 lbs and 11 oz. 17 inches long. :cloud9:

(She was having trouble breathing on her own for a few hours last night and they were monitoring her heart (it's why she has the leads on) but now she is lead free and doing well without any support!)

?? for the pro's...

Courtfrog — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:11:37 GMT

I had an appt and I feel i understand things but I am still on the "Is he just being nice" state of mind

THe last 2 days i have had cramps that litteraly make me cry, heating pad on my back, no spotting though.

Went to the dr today, couldn't hear the HB as I am only 6 weeks, but he heard the blood flow pumping through the placenta?? is that a normal thing to hear??

Also he said my cervix seemed good (what is good?) and that my uterus was about the size of 10weeks?? (I am only 8 based off of scan and HB at 6wks)

All these things seem positive, but no proof till wednesday...

any reassurance?

Progesterone cream users?

ArmyWifey11 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:10:18 GMT

I've been using progesterone cream for the last 4 days and I'm just wondering has anyone noticed side effects from it?
I'm EXTREMELY grouchy. My poor hubby I was so on edge that even the sound of his breathing was dreaming me crazy :blush: My boobs are heavy, swollen and sore under my arms. And (TMI) a little more creamy CM than I am used to. Is this from the Progesterone Cream??

Anyone on clomid get cramps in their TWW?

Fingersxed4 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:08:23 GMT

Hi all!

Anyone on Clomid get cramps in their TWW? I am 7 DPO on my first round (took days 3-7) and I'm getting some weird cramp sensations in my stomach. It feels like a combination of ovulation pain and pulling. Seems to move to different parts of my lower abdomen...sometimes near my right ovary, sometimes near left, other times in the middle near my belly button.

In all the reading Ive done about clomid side effects, i know there is no real point in reading into anything on a TWW on clomid. Thats why im completely dismissing the fatigue and sore boob. I'm sure this is just another side effect but thought I'd throw the question out there in case anyone had some insight!

ultrasound dating and late ovulation question

ohamberx0 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:07:11 GMT

I had my last regular period around the beginning of november. I begin taking birth control at the end of november which skipped a period. I lost my pack and stop taking the birth control about 3 weeks later. I had a period A week after that which was a week before my normal period would have began if I did not take the birth control. So I had a light cycle begin december 23rd.. my regular cycle would have started december 31st if I never skiped a perood With birth control. Given that my next cycle woul:happydance:d have been about january 28th.

I went in for a dating an ultrasound because of my irregular cycle due to the birth control and not knowing exactly how far along I was. Today they measured me at 6 weeks 5 days.. meanin conception would have been around january 7.. I had intercourse on the fifth and the 11th. I had spotting on the 28th, the day that I would have started my cycle if I was still on my regular cycle without the birth control. Which is 14 days after the 14th, the day i *believe* i would have ovulated.. making the 11th (or soon after) my conception date.

My question is.. does the early autosound take into consideration 21 day ovulation or is it only 14 day? Is it possible I'm still 6 weeks 5 days if I conceived on the 11th.. or would they be a week off and say I'm only 6 weeks? Trying to figure out how are a true sounds work as far is figuring out conception date.. because when I put it into a calculator it gives me a 7 to 10 days range for possible conception. So when measuring in an ultrasound is it always just adding 14 days or can it be the 21 day and adding 21 days instead of 14?

headache

Donut — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:06:06 GMT

The only thing that helps my headaches is naproxin sodium. (aleve) Tylonal doesn't do a damned thing for me except make me sick. I hate this :(

I really hope I'm not going to get that stupid stomach flu that my friend has, she lives across the street. Would it be dangerous if I got it? It seems to just be a 1 day thing.

Grandparents rights?

xAmiixLouisex — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:03:43 GMT

I've heard that unless grandparents are involved with the child, they don't have access rights. As in, if you let them see their grandchildren then suddenly stop them they can take legal action. But if they haven't been involved at all from birth, they don't have any rights. Can anyone confirm this?

kinda ready to give up

sassytwinmum — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:54:47 GMT

I have only been TTC this time around for 6 months but i am already tired of the rollercoaster. I so badly want more bubs but its gettting so so hard.

I usually have a pretty regular 26-28 day cycle with my next AF due on the 15th. Leading up to AF i usually get killer sore bbs, so i know whats coming...this month i got no sore bbs at all, not even a little bit sensitve, and a little cramping round 6dpo...DH and i dtd last night n today I am bleeding...lighter then normal, no cramping, but i just know its AF coming 5 days early...i feel like boycotting sex if its gonna do this to me haha.

It took 3 mths to conceive my twins 6 years ago n really thought it would be that 'easy' this time too...it doesn't help that i have only been off anti depressants for 3 mths...why is having a baby so hard...n why do those who don't want more fall so easily...theres no fairness :cry:

Sweaty!

flippityflop — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:54:35 GMT

How much weight loss is too much?

Lucky2BMummy — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:39:05 GMT

I know people lose weight during their first trimester, but i'm just wondering how much is too much.

Before i got pregnant i was a healthy 60kg. In the 7 weeks since i found out i was pregnant, i have lost 8kgs (17ish pounds). I only got my MS about 3 weeks ago and it's not too bad manly just nausea. I am drinking as mch water as i can and can only eat about half my usual meals but find myself eating constantly. My hubby, bestfriend and family are worried about the loss and although i thought it was normal, its starting to get me worried too as i'm looking skinny with my hips and bones sticking out (i'm one of those people who if they lose or gain weight its obvious). Doc appt is early next week. I'm not stressed about weight gain (i gained 18kg with my dd) but i'm sure as hell not trying to lose it! i like my curves lol

What do you guys think? Should i be getting worried?

Ttc #1!

LO has been asleep for 3 hours and counting. I just turned on the TV, washer, dryer, and dishwasher and he's STILL asleep. Should I turn the vacuum on as well? :haha:

I think we're going to be up all night...

Do any of your LO's take long naps? Do they still STTN or are they wide awake and ready to play with you at 2 am?

RANT My husband is a serious f*ckstick sometimes!!!!

babymama86 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:19:55 GMT

Ok so we are getting a new car and we had decided which one we were going to get and then he calls me up telling me he just test drove a more expensive car and that i need to have a look at it because its amazing and hes in love with it!.... I dont give a flying f*ck if its amaxing, we had decided and this ones more expensive! :dohh:

Aaaaahhhhh im so mad at the moment i could kick his ass, but hes not here so i will just have to settle for sitting in the corner and crying!!!!:cry:
*end rant*

I'm terrified, but he's shrugging it off...

M_First Timer — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:13:13 GMT

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I actually decided to join because I really need to get something off my chest. I am just entering my 3rd trimester and throughout my pregnancy, I occasionally get really scared about labor and delivery. It overwhelms me and I end up reading way too far into the stories of pain and embarrassing moments during labor. I share everything with my husband and usually, he's really supportive. However, when I begin to express my fears, he responds by cutting me short and says that I shouldn't get so worried. All I want him to do is listen and support me. I know he'll never understand and I don't expect him to. He even compared labor to taking a test(!) and said that I shouldn't psych myself out...because apparently giving birth is so much like taking a freakin' test! I wish!

Tomorrow, my intense fear will wear off and I'll feel more empowered like I normally do, but when I feel so scared, I just want him to support me. What do I do? When I tell him that he's not responding in the way I expected, he get's really defensive and shuts down. When I try to talk it out and tell him that all i want is support, he sarcastically laughs it off and acts like I'm being crazy. Has anyone else had to deal with this? I still feel terrified of labor and delivery and the worst part about it is that my husband (who i love dearly) isn't listening to what I have to say. Any ideas?

So I have a major confession.

..katie.. — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:11:15 GMT

Soooooo....

Let me just start off by saying that I am deeply into anatomy and medicine and all. I'm doing schooling for my LPN and I hope to get my RN. Am currently a CNA. I can take out, clean, and reinsert a suprapubic cath with my eyes closed. I'm good at CPR (have done it on two people. both people survived. I feel as if I rock because of it.)...I'm good with diagnostic stuff. So, I'm not completely and totally stupid, although the confession may make you believe otherwise.

Ready?

Up until about a month ago, I thought that the fetus's cord, attatched at their navel, attatched at the inside of the mother's navel.
Yeah.
I mean, I know a placenta has to be there. As does a uterus. And mesentery. So, logically, that wouldn't work at all. But there I was, terrified that the baby might grab on to the cord and rip my bellybutton off from the inside.
I told my mother this tonight, and she just looked at me like I said I thought the moon was made out of skittles. I thought she was going to disown me.

Sigh.

Does anyone else have any really, really, really stupid misconceptions about pregnancy, the human body, or, well, anything else?

Sept 14th.. Due date buddies?

Last Pregnancy--Milking it?

Should Be fun....until then Im just going to sit on my ass and watch some good old jersey shore. Haha. :dohh:

Cramping or Constipated?? :/

sweetmere — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:58:05 GMT

I'm 9dpo and have had cramping for the past 2 days that felt like light AF cramps. Well today I had it too, but tonight I'm having it mixed with what feels like...gas pains, or constipation pains? The thing is, I can't tell if I'm cramping, if I'm constipated, or both. I pooped a LITTLE bit this morning and didn't yesterday , but didn't think anything of it. I feel like I need to go to the bathroom but when I go to try, nothing happens at all. I know this is TMI :/ sorry, just thought some of you might know :( I tested a bfn today but I'm having literally every symptom in the book. I have always thought if you had symptoms, you'd test positive.

Oh & forgot to mention, although they feel like AF cramps, I know it can't be because I chart, and have a 15 day luteal phase, which means AF isn't due for 6 days...I only cramp like 10 min before my period starts, or right after...never this early on! The only cramping I've ever had this early was light aches in my ovaries, and this is completely different.

Oh my god help me my daughter is driving me crazy.

okay for starters, when others have posted here about their toddler suddenly getting clingy, most others responded that it is just a phase and it will pass. I secretly thought, "no it's not, some babies are just kind of clingy, bored and want their mommies a lot." as my daughter has always been pretty needy and when she was much younger, I couldn't even put her down.

well now, suddenly, at 15 months she is more clingy than ever. so clingy I now know what you other moms meant. she adores her daddy, but even he can't hold her. he can't even touch her or she'll yell "no mama." Some toddlers follow you into the other room, she is following my every step even if we are in the same room, she's right under my foot. she is grabbing my hand and leading me to wherever she wants to be. she will not go alone. she's nursing all day (as in all day), doesn't want to be put down when we go outside to play (not like her at all, normally she can't wait) and bursting into tears when i put her in the carseat and close the door just long enough for me to get back int o the car. so weird. :shrug:

what is happening?
some changes:
I tutor three times a week for an hour-two hours at a time (but her dad has taken her longer than this plenty of times without a problem)
dad is doing night time routine more often than before, but not a lot more? and i'm right there
she just cut some teeth. i can see them so maybe more are coming in?
she said her first few sentences so a new milestone?

that's all I've got. Please give me some insight if you ever figured out why your LO got like this. I'm worried about her as she seems so fragile all of a sudden.

Can I eat sliced Turkey if I'm putting it in a grilled cheese?

Internal ultrasound

Nikki_K — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:42:21 GMT

Hi guys,

I need some advice. I had an internal and external ultrasound scan last week and was diagnosed with PCOS. Obviously the scan checked my ovaries but does it check everything - like tubes, etc. Or is it purely to check ovaries alone?

Many thanks
Love and baby dust xxx

Saggy squishy part under bump!?

KellyC75 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:41:53 GMT

I have woken today with a really saggy, squishy part at the bottom of my belly/bump :blush: Anyone else have this?

Im thinking it may be water swelling? :shrug: What ever it is, its yuck!

Any ideas? (warning TMI)

ushotmedown — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:35:25 GMT

Hey everyone.
So I have the implant in atm (december is when it HAS to be removed) and my period has been pretty much every other month for 5-7 days since i've had it put in (dec 2009) problem is this time i'm now on week 3 of my period with quite a heavy flow and clotting but changing between that and brown discharge with brown clotting. I am also getting pretty bad cramps and the pain is making me feel quite nauseous.
Do you guys have any idea what it could be?
I will probably go to the doctor's soon, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any kind of clue what the hell is happening to me :shrug:

Breech baby 33 weeks advice please

Aurora79 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:34:57 GMT

Hi girls

After a few weeks of telling me my baby was head down low in pelvis but posterior, Obstetrician discovered baby had turned breech on Wednesday and did a scan to confirm it. Baby's head is also measuring at 35 weeks but the femur bone at 32 weeks?? I'm measuring 34.5cm. As you can probably guess I was throughly disappointed, as I've had such an easy pregnancy. She said they don't usually worry until 36 weeks and then she'll offer me a ECV and last resort caesarean (which I desparately wanted to avoid). I know there's still time for baby to turn head down but I have a funny feeling that she is too big for my pelvis (I'm quite petite). I'm not overly keen on having the ECV, even though I know it's an ok thing to do, but my main concern is for it to be successful and she turns, but I go into labour and she gets stuck and will end up having to have an emergency c section. If she is still breech after 36 weeks I have prepared myself to ask for a plannned caesarean which I think would be less traumatic in the long run.

Has anybody had a similar experience with this situation? What would you do? I'm also trying everything to get her to turn, different positions, chiropractor and acupuncture!

Do you think this is a good sign???

plastic — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:30:21 GMT

I have been plagued with daily rib beatings for the last few weeks, but yesterday I went home from work with no pain what so ever and the same today. Difference is I have got a tonne of pressure on the top of my legs sort of around my groin.

I know lots of people talk about the watermelon between the legs and I wouldn't really describe it as that but wondering if all the pressure I am now feeling could be a sign that my boy is getting ready???

Can't get enough water...

hope79 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:25:14 GMT

LTTC - new worries and anxiety's

Nikki_K — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:23:54 GMT

Hi ladies.
I'm new to the LTTC section. I am bored of watching "newbies" getting pregnant straight away or complaining they are having a hard time after only 1 cycle. (I know I sound soo horrible, I'm sorry) but it's been a long journey for me and my DH.

We have been TTC for 3years now with no luck. I FINALLY got seen by my doctor who referred me for an ultrasound. The results came back and I was diagnosed with PCOS. Since then I have been suffering with anxiety attacks and insomnia. I don't know how to feel or what to expect and just needed some friendly, female advice. I have an appointment to see a fertility specialist next week but I'm soo afraid my anxiety will keep me from going. I really need the advice from the specialist but I'm just soo afraid of what they'll say. I know I sound like a silly person but I thought if anyone could help me it'd be you girls..

Thank you for listening to me..
Hugs and love to everyone - I'm sorry for going on xx

Really watery pinkish/brown CM

lizlovelust — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:14:10 GMT

Hi Ladies,

Okay so I'm 15DPO today and I'm having really really watery CM, it was brown this morning and all day, then a couple hours ago it was pinkish/brownish. I've had cramps off and on for the past couple days but they have been so mile and not anything like AF but sort of similar.

My breasts also hurt super super bad! Stabbing pains off and on and hurt just to walk!

Have any of you ladies had this CM and been Pregnant?:shrug:

I'm still getting BFNs....:dohh:

Belly sometimes goes rock hard??

ceejie — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:13:29 GMT

Okay, totally weird question. I've had a few occasions now where my belly has gone rock hard and my little girl moves right over to one side (it looks really freaky!). It's not really painful, but I would call it uncomfortable.

It has happened once after a warm bath and a couple times after sex. I'm not sure if I should be worried? I don't see my OB til next week, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this?

BTW, I know I'm not technically 3rd tri yet, but most of the people in 2nd tri seem to be early 2nd tri, and I figured you ladies would have more experience with this type of thing...

Another DREAM during TWW!

I need help with this one! I dreamed this morning that my 64 year old grandmother had a baby! There was another girl in the dream that I didnt know and she was preggo. She was waving at me. Then tonight while picking up dinner, I see my shooting star. Of course, you know what my wish was. What does my dream mean though?

2012 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:03:42 GMT

I just got asked if i was having cravings because i was eating at my desk. I replied, "cravings? Why do you ask" he said "oh just thought you might be mother to be" This same man (who normally I like) commented yesterday I shouldn't lose anymore weight to which I told him I have been sick lately and not trying to lose anything.

I'm a terrible liar and I work with 35 men and 4 women all of whom have no tact or manners. At only 8.5 weeks i'm not ready for work to know.

upper back pain, 4 weeks pregnant

WantsALittle1 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:56:39 GMT

I know that lower back pain is very common during pregnancy (especially the later stages), but is anyone else out there in early PG having excruciating upper back pain?

the dull, droning muscle ache extends from the middle of my spine up to my shoulders and neck. it is constant, and no changing of positions or stretching alleviates it.

oy!

Shying in...

FayDanielle — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:56:11 GMT

Hey :)

This is not a part of the forum i've been in before, as I joined when pregnant with my first!
But I guess you could say I am WTT baby number 2!
Complicated as its baby number 1 for us...but baby number 3 between us :blush:
We both have a daughter to a different partner so this will be our first baby together!

It's quite a 'new' relationship, some people will call us crazy, but its gotten serious very soon, currently looking into getting a house together! Fingers crossed by the end of March we should be living together!

We are WTT September 2012, NTNP until then, but i'd say more so WTT!
I'm so excited and look forward to spending some time in here.

I'm going to have a nosy through some journals and hopefully start my own tonight, or tomorrow :flower:

Sweep

zlrckbdp — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:54:53 GMT

I'm feeling somewhat stupid for asking this, but yesterday my doctor "stretched" my cervix. Holy crap was that painful!

Just wondering, if that is the same as a "sweep" :shrug:

Since she stretched my cervix, I've been having lots of pains.. period like cramps, and sharp pains in my vagina and pelvic area.
Now today after my shower I wiped and there was a large clump of thick discharge, it was like clear-ish yellow.
Is this normal? :shrug:

I go back first thing in the morning to be stretched again, so I'll ask then.
Just wondering if this is a good sing of things starting?
I sure frickin hope so!! :happydance:

What teas are safe?

caphybear — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:50:03 GMT

I know many of the herbal teas are not safe to drink during pregnancy. I was recently at the grocery store and noticed a decaf white tea... which when not pregnant I drink a lot of every kind of tea. Does anyone know if white and green teas are safe to drink during pregnancy? Its difficult to get a clear answer when I google it.:shrug:

Almost half way threw this 2ww! Any advice?!

branham22 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:48:43 GMT

Hello ladies :)
Today I am 5 dpo. To be honest, I have seemed to stay more calm during this 2ww! :thumbup:
The only symptoms I have had are this:
-Yesterday (4dpo): I have some very mild cramping on my right side.
-Now today at 5dpo: I have had some mild cramping on and off all day. I also had some shooting pains around the right side/middle of my lower abdomen that lasted like 2 seconds :laugh2: I also had some shooting pain in my armpit/side of breast a couple times today as well. And I am still cramping. I have little to no cm.

Am I just going crazy? Or does this sound pretty promising? :shrug:

Almost half way threw this 2ww!:happydance:

Also, if that did happen to be implantation (I know a long shot!), would I have some spotting? How common is that?

a faint second line? or am i going mad?

PMS Cramps vs Implantation Cramp.....

AbbyLink — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:45:42 GMT

Alright you prego mamas! What were the differences between implantation cramping vs PMS cramping...if any at all. And, how many of you would say that before you tested positive everything was pretty much identical to PMS symptoms? I'm so curious and actually have a great shot this month due to various reasons. Just need some experienced women to answer :)

Woo! Got my EDD today, and pics!

17thy — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:45:28 GMT

So we went back for our dating ultrasound and I am 7 weeks 6 days, the EDD is Sept 21st. :dance: The baby had a super strong heartbeat of 167, and already looks like a little fetus!

This ultrasound tech was AWESOME! She was so sweet, and she told me like everything she could. I have a very anterior placenta (i never knew where it was last time). I'm so happy I could cry. :blush:

And tbh, I think its a little girl.

Gender tests?

amber1216 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:42:33 GMT

Surrounded by pregnant people

CAValleygirl — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:39:21 GMT

Did I just not notice it until my DH and I were ttc? It's EVERYWHERE! My best friend and also my business partner at work. Every minute someone else comes into our office and asks her questions, gives her gifts, etc.

I know I need to be happy for her and let her enjoy this time. I know my time will come.

So why do I feel so down and JEALOUS?? :cry:

AF has finished and ready for some serious BD'ing

soozandlily — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:35:12 GMT

Hello ladies

I've been quiet on here for the last few days as AF arrived on the 5th which sent me into a bit of a mood for a few days, but it was pretty painless and short for a change (4 days compared to 7) and I'm really happy I can get back to work now ;) lol

I don't temp or use OPK's as I tend to over-stress myself with these things, and I will NOT NOT NOT be testing early this month. I drove myself crazy last month testing way too early and it was just a really big let down :( Luckily me and the OH both have a pretty high sex drive and so BD'ing every other night isn't too difficult, although I do sometimes work til late at night which can be a pain :(

The last two cycles I have had have been short compared to my usual cycles and I have managed to gain a few lbs too which I think has made a difference (My bmi was 17.5 and is now 18.1, I don't look scarily underweight just naturally slim but still worried it's effecting my chances)

This is my 3rd cycle of TTC baby number 2 now and I am going for the relaxed and chilled out plan this month, fx I can stick to it lol GL all and lots of BFP's to all!!!

17 weeks - SO thirsty, ALL the time!!

AshleyR — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:32:56 GMT

Anyone else thirsty all the time?

Before getting pregnant I didn't drink much in a day AT ALL. I used to drink a lot of pop and would have 2-3 pop a day - was lucky if I had any water or milk at all for days on end (so bad!)

Ever since getting pregnant (but it's gotten worse in the past 3-4 weeks) I have been soooooo thirsty all the time! I cut out pop and have been drinking lots of juice and milk. I do drink a little water each day and am trying to replace some of my juice (that's mixed with water) with plain water. I drink a 2L of milk almost every day - always within 2 days!

I find my thirst catches up with me in the evenings - which isn't good as it has me peeing every 2 hours all night. I am just downing litres of juice and water from supper till bedtime!

P.S. The juice I drink isn't really sugary fruit juice - I add Crystal Light packets to my huge bottle of water, and usually only use half a packet.

Anyone else??

I wanna do this again.. face to name

youngmommy2 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:31:59 GMT

Crying all the time?

JoulesRulez — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:30:37 GMT

I really just have to stop watching emotional drama shows on TV, I break down and cry over every moment on the tv show.

Today I pulled my baby photo album off the book shelf, because there is an ultrasound in there from me in my mom (I am having my first u/s on monday!!), and really wanted to see what I looked like in the belly.

When I opened the album and started looking through the pictures, I had to cry the entire time, no reason why! I have seen the pictures a thousand times, and never got emotional, now I was balling my eyes out over them!

I laugh at myself afterwards, but it's terrible when it happens in public!

Anyone else experiencing the same? Would love to hear y'all's stories :) :cry:

digital EPT test question..

AN and RL — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:20:02 GMT

I'm 14 DPO today and no sign of the witch. I tested with this test and got a BFN. Has anyone ever gotten this result on or after 14 DPO with same test and eneded up with a bfp? I feel like I'm pregnant. Of course everyone likes to believe that, I'm just looking for a little hope like all the women here. My partner and I are doing insimination and the process is so tiring in itself, so AF might not be showing her ugly face yet bc of stress. Thanks for any encouragment in advance.

My cervix is hiding

superspin79 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:17:35 GMT

Ever since DH and I BD'd three days ago, my cervix has been pointing backwards towards my rear. When I check the position, the side is normally where the opening would be. I've never had it stay in that position for so long, is this anything I should be concerned about?

Is There a Possibility I Conceived?

ang45875 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:17:31 GMT

Last menses: January 13th-18th (avg 27 days)

Fertile Dates: January 24th-28th. (not sure exact O date)

Intercourse: January 27th

My period isn't due for until February 9th. Starting on Sunday(Jan 29th), I have been having some severe nausea. I'm tired and feel like I'm going to pass out. I also feel so queasy and I have very minor cramping. I don't know how to explain it but t feels like a ball or something is there.

I'm 31 years old. I have had 3 children and I have zero STD's. So, I know it's not that because both me and my spouse are clean. I don't think it's a UTI either because it doesn't burn when I pee and my urine is clear. (drink a lot of water)

Today, my AF was suppose to start. When I went to the bathroom, I took a test and it had a BFN. When I wiped, I had a little bit of blood and that was it. I haven't had anything else today, just the minor cramping, nausea and fatigue.

Could I have tested too early? What do you guys think? Could I have conceived? :kiss:

Extremely healthy toddler??

Kirstie.c — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:13:35 GMT

Hi ladies, was just wondering if anyone else had an overly healthy toddler by there choice!! no complaints at all and im really proud of my LO,

BUT!

We had the most random moment in tesco earlier was just picking up a couple of bits.. and i fancied a little chocolate so went over to the goodies bit... and Skye started getting really upset saying she didn't want chocolate she wanted berries! (she is obsessed with blueberries.)

I explained to her it was for mummy and we already had berries in the basket and showed her..she then took the chocolate out of the basket and said 'NO MUMMY..BERRIES!' :dohh: :blush:
People were looking at me like i was tying to force chocolate on her and i felt like a right fatty!! lol.

bit of a random thread but does anyone else have a toddler who just loves healthy things.. she will always choose fruit over sweets or anything, and loves water and milk, and will want fresh potato's to chips and all sorts.

She makes me feel guilty then if i eat something bad! just really makes me giggle!!

i cant have the only one???

Soooo excited!!

curr0210 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:11:53 GMT

I had my 2nd ultrasound today. Was so nervous I cried to the tech about how I didn't know if my baby was alive...

Anywho, I saw the heartbeat and baby!!!! Best feeling ever to see that first scan with everything OK. I also got to hear the heart too!!! SO awesome.

Thanks everyone for keeping sports up! I hope everyone has happy healthy babies. :hugs:

Hello everyone, it's been quite a few months sinceive been on baby and bump well infact before I fell pregnant, so I just wanted to reintroduce myself and also for my old friends on here to tell you all I finally got my little boy I always wanted.

Owen Anthony Simpson was born 9days late on 29th dec 2011'. Weighing 6lb12oz, now at 6 weeks old he weighs 9lb14oz so he's growing fast, we couldn't be happier he's perfect xxx

My hospital visitor list-why im gonna be the bad guy

painted_pony — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:03:40 GMT

Well I guess I might as well get this over with, and piss off both families...lol. I've made a list of the only people I'm allowing to visit myself and my LO while I'm in the hospital. I'm going to be informing everyone fairly soon and announcing it on Facebook. I'm going to piss off so many people...but seriously, we are talking about the birth of my LO and the first few days after. I have every right to control the situation. The only people I'm allowing in is my parents, my husbands mother and my step-sister in law.

PEOPLE WHO WILL BE TURNED DOWN FOR VISITS INCLUDE:
MY HUSBANDS REAL SISTER-she has some obsession with my husband (way beyond weird, always uses him for money) shes obsessed with his exwife and exgirlfriend, plus she hates my guts. also she smokes like a chimney and i dont want that smell around
ALL CHILDREN-all of his neices, nephews and my husbands daughter. First off these kids have had everything from pnemonia to the flu lately.secondly, its a special day for our baby, those kids had this luxury when they were born, mine deserves it too.
ALL AUNTS/UNCLES-There's no real reason behind this one other than I dont wanna deal with my husbands aunts who still obsess over this chick my husband used to date. The crazy one who keeps harassing me.
GRANDPARENTS-I don't want either one of us to allow out grandparents up to visit. They are extremely old and don't need to be exposed to all the hospital germs.
FRIENDS-none of my friends gave a shit enough to show up at my baby shower, and none of his friends cared enough to even come to our wedding. Therefore, they dont need to see our LO right after birth.

Well that about covers it I guess, time to suck it up and piss everybody off. The real way I look at it is the only people who bothered to show up at the airport to send my husband off to Afghanistan, are the only people who are invited to be at the hospital. Everybody else can just screw off until we get settled in with our new addition.

I know i'm early

HellBunny — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:01:56 GMT

But i'm really ready for Third Tri! I've been hovering since my 20 week scan :haha:
I've had a few problems so far, and will be induced at 38 weeks due to diabetes so baby will be here around May the 13th! Despite me still being 24 weeks i can relate to lots of threads in here and since having a little boy also i can contribute to some of the labour threads if people have any questions. :)

Fluid in Baby's belly?! Scared!!!

MarissaFaith — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:59:10 GMT

I recently had my 19 week appointment. Everything on the ultra sound looked completely normal, until they looked at his belly. The lady said that there was too much fluid in there, and it didn't really go away during the ultrasound.

That was the only concern for the doctor, and she wanted me to get blood drawn to test for chromosome problems - such as Downs, because it a full belly can be a symptom of that. I really don't want to think of him having that, and I doubt that he does because I'm very young (17) and have absolutely no family history of that.

I was wondering if you know ANYTHING that it could be, I'm very scared and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since my last appointment.

- Also, I don't know if this makes it any better but the doctor didn't schedule me for an immediate appointment after, just my next check up in 3 weeks. She didn't seem to concerned either, but I don't get the results from the labs about my blood for for another week!

Advice?

rosebudsxox — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:53:29 GMT

Hey, I thought I had my period for the past week but it's been kind of different. The blood has been mostly a rust color and not bright red like usual. There also seems to be a lot of tiny pieces in it (sorry if TMI!) so now I'm wondering if it's possibly decidual bleeding?? My temps have been high for the past week and my CP appears to be high too. So has anyone had decidual bleeding? What was it like? I'm so confused so any info would be really helpful!! :confused:
