Pink sway graduates - how are you all?!

[zanacal]

Every now and again I think of somebody I used to see a lot on the forums who got their BFP and (understandably) got a life ... um, I mean, moved on :D

So how are you all, where are you with your pregnancies (or babies!) and how are you feeling?

I'm almost 27 weeks now and I'm afraid to say I'm wishing this pregnancy away. Let's just say I'm not blooming this time! I've bought quite a lot of baby things, mainly clothes but I managed to convince myself that we needed a new travel system too (we don't!). I'm wondering when to put the cot in DS3's room. It would be nice to get it in there and to be able to store all the baby stuff in it and decorate her little corner of the room but it seems rather early! When do you all plan to decorate nurseries? My 3D scan is on Saturday and we're all really excited to see what the baby looks like. I had one with DS2 at this stage and he had little chubby cheeks already :D

I hope some of you stop by for a chat :D

[Sassy]

Heeeyyyyy Z!

I'm one of those that didn't pop back a lot...mostly out of fear. I mentally needed to put all things 'swaying' out of my mind for a while as once I'd gotten my BFP I knew what was done was done and I couldn't keep obsessing. It became incredibly obsessive and all-consuming for me...as it does for a lot of us. I feel much more confident now that we've had gender confirmed - I didn't want to offer advice on swaying if I'd royally screwed mine up! But, I'm so grateful I didn't!

So I'd love to see a bunch of 'graduates' as well!

I'm nearly 22wks now and I haven't done much yet - DS2 will move into DS1's room when the bunks arrive then I'll wait for their wardrobes to arrive before getting all of DS2's clothes in there. Then I can clean out the 'baby' room and go through my boxes of clothes and start to work out what else I need. Still a bit nervous about buying pink stuff yet and certainly don't want to get 'caught' as we're lying about finding out IRL!

[zanacal]

Yay, somebody replied :D I'm so happy for you sassy! My biggest two boys share a room with bunk beds too and although they definitely sleep less (at the beginning of the night!) than they used to I love it because they're so close.

I'm counting down the days until I go on maternity leave now and am tempted to go a little earlier than planned. I just want to sleep all day!

I hope some of the other ladies pop by :D

[purplepoet20]

We already have the nursery decorated with things that used to be in DH room, I don't have anything of mine. We don't plan to change it because it is a very calm room. It's not really a nursery but more like the toddler room and where the baby clothing will be. We kept our boys in our room until they were 2yo. When DS2 is 3 he will move into DS1 room where he already has a bed set up for him.

The only things we are buying this time is a new "escapeproof" highchair and a crib bedding set, hoping for a pink set! We are going to save the crib sets for the kids for when they are older. I would love to have a new pack and play but I am a cheap person.

[fresas]

I just got a + HPT test for me so I can't call myself a full pink sway graduate, but I guess maybe I am? It was not an intentional sway and I'm upset about that, but all I can hope and pray for is a healthy baby. With PCOS, egg quality isn't always the greatest and with the testosterone issues...well, no use stressing about it now. Hopefully all is well.

I hope the rest of you ladies have a H & H pregnancy. :)

[Mochagirl]

Hey ladies! Good idea starting this thread, Z.

I'm doing well. I'm nearing the point in my pregnany where I had my m/c last time, but I'm feeling pretty optimistic because all looked well in my 8 week scan, and I've heard the heartbeat a couple of times since then on my cheapie doppler. I'll be going for my 12 week u/s in a week and a half or so and will of course start nubsessing right away. I found out today that I might have ovulated on the left this time since apparently I have a small corpus luteum cyst on my left ovary - which indicates I ovulated from that side recently, and I've only ovulated once or possibly twice since last September. I also think that with my three post m/c ultrasounds someone would have noticed the cyst and told me about it if it was already there at that point.

Anyway, as this pregnancy begins to feel more real, I've already started to panic about where this little one is going to sleep! For the first while, of course, he or she will be in our room with us, but what next? Should the baby share with ds3, who'll be 3, or should I somehow cram ds3 into the room ds1&2 already share so the baby can have its own room? The only other option is to turn dh's beloved upstairs home office into a 4th bedroom, and make him use our poorly insulated add-on sun room as his office, which is very chilly in the winter and will require a space heater. I think he's really hoping we can come up with a solution that will not involve him losing his room, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.

Get DH a Snuggle, Forever Lazy or a nice wool robe and hat!

[Mochagirl]

Picturing dh in a Forever Lazy...:rofl: My brother gave one to my Mom as a joke Christmas present, and she looks like a Teletubby in it! :bigsmile:

[lobella2]

I am 31 weeks now. I am also counting down the weeks until I am off for my maternity. I only have 3 more weeks to go after this week is over. I am taking some extra time off before the baby comes and really looking forward to being a mom and not a working mom for a little while. We have the crib set up already in my daughter's room. I know it's early, but my kids have been asking for so long to get things ready for the baby. I feel good, but I am tired and in need of a break. I have bought a lot of cute clothes for the baby and I just had my shower so I got a lot of cute girly things.

[Indira]

Well, I´m not someone that got a life and moved on lol, still on GD daily, I´m addicted!

I´m 18 weeks now and this pregnancy is going by very quickly and not as smooth as the previous ones.
I get strong headaches regularly, they last for a couple of days and make me vomit.
I´m really enjoying feeling the baby´s movements, this is what I was longing for when hoping for a third pregnancy.
I have my 20 weeks scan in two weeks and plan to stay on team green.

This baby is going to sleep with us in our room, we´re going to get one of those cribs that you hang on your own bed. That´s a first for us, the boys slept in their own rooms from the start. But with Ds 2 I was exhausted, he woke up every 2 hours for months and months, now I want to do things differently. When the baby will sleep through he/she will sleep with Ds1 or Ds2 or we will put Ds1 and Ds2 in one room. The kids´ rooms are on another floor then ours, I´m not looking forward to doing a lot of stairs in the night.
Dh threw away the stroller we used when Ds2 was a baby (he thought we were done:bigsmile:) so we´re going to buy it all new again. I´ve decided I´m going to give away all the blue outfits we have (not that much, the newborn stuff is all cream/white), if it´s another boy he is not going to be the third I´m dressing in blue, it will be a rock baby that wears grey, brown and red! I´m going to sew a couple of outfits. Right now I´m knitting a beige little thingy.

[Sassy]

So lovely to hear the updates!

I'm also feeling incredibly tired...exhausted! I'm hanging out for my maternity leave which will start in 5 weeks - super early but as a teacher its a bit neater for the school to find me a replacement at the end of term. I'm also looking forward to being a mum, not a working mum!

My boys are getting more excited as my belly grows and the kicks get stronger!

[fresas]

I saw my PCP yesterday. She was very supportive and told me to get a hold of the high risk doctors I saw last time. I won't have any blood drawn, pelvic exam, or an ultrasound until March 22 unless I start miscarrying or something. I will be about 7 weeks at my first exam.

That's about all that is going on. DH was sad we didn't get to do a sway like how we wanted, but we're still ultimately hoping for a healthy baby. :)

[zanacal]

What's a PCP fresas? I find it interesting how things are done differently in other countries - we don't have pelvic exams at all during pregnancy!

I hit my third trimester tomorrow - thank goodness! I'm working until around 36 weeks which is possibly a mistake as I'm finding driving difficult already. I might have to rethink that actually!

[atomic sagebrush]

In case fresas does not see this, Primary Care Provider = family doctor

[fresas]

Sorry, yes, PCP is primary care physician. That's like the main doctor or family doctor, though my kids see someone different (their pediatrician). Adult medicine and pediatrics can be combined here to be family medicine, but they tend to be separate, at least where I live since they can be very different types of practices.

I could see a midwife for the pregnancy, but with my high risk history, it is better to see doctors.

Do the doctors in the UK not check cervix, do a pap smear, and feel uterus position at the beginning?

Good luck in your 3rd trimester! I know it's getting hard and tiring. I'm thrilled for you, though!

[zanacal]

Nope, none of those things! My cervix won't be checked until I arrive at the hospital in labour (unless I'm overdue in which case a midwife might offer to do a 'stretch and sweep'!). We 'book in' with the midwives affiliated to our local doctors' surgery at the beginning of pregnancy and if there's a need a lady will also be appointed a consultant at the hospital, but in low risk/uncomplicated pregnancies no doctor/consultant will be seen alongside the midwives. The maternity unit will be run by midwives also, supported by consultants/doctors where necessary.

[fresas]

Wow, that is so interesting.

Do they do something later to test for things like strep or anything else abnormal?

The pelvic exam here checks to make sure the cervix is closed, there are no abnormal cells on the cervix, no undiagnosed STDs, and to make sure the uterus is in a good position and measuring correctly for size.

I had some spotting yesterday. I haven't had spotting with my pregnancies before, but am taking it easy today. I didn't call the doctor since the spotting was light pink, light brown, and some old/darkish red looking blood, but the quantity was pretty light. I didn't do anything that would upset the cervix (like sex or vigorous exercise) so I have no idea what it was, but today, so far no spotting.

[rainbowflower]

not posted in here before... I guess I don't feel like a "graduate" because I don't know what we're having yet!

they don't, as a matter of course, check you for strep here (unless that's what our 26-wk blood test is for). But I think if they do it's done by blood tests.

they're reluctant to even check you before you're 40 weeks because they don't want to risk giving you an infection unnecessarily so they're very cautious about examining you. I'll be asking for examinations from 37 weeks this time, though, because I had a silent labour last time so will want to know if I'm dilating or not. Not sure if they'll agree to do it, but I can still ask because I'll want some time to get either home or to the birth centre if I'm in labour and because my BP rose dramatically in later labour!

in general it's the MWs who help you give birth here not doctors too - I notice from watching lots of birth shows on TV that in the USA it seems to be mainly doctors who do the actual delivery. Here they try not to intervene at all as that reduces the risk of complications and needing additional intervention. On that subject... most of the birth shows from over there seem to show bed-births on their back with an epidural, and that doesn't happen as frequently over here as active birth is encouraged instead unless the woman really wants the epidural. I suppose the main difference is because we don't pay for our care so they want to limit more expensive drugs ultimately, but it also seems to be better for the women to go without too.

[fresas]

That is really interesting

I have had abnormal pap smears in the past so I always like having one done during pregnancy. Plus, if I end up with an STD, I know my husband has been fooling around. ;) The STDs can cause complications during the pregnancy so I guess that is why they're done here.

I decided to call the doctor today to see what they recommended since the spotting hasn't really stopped.

They did a transvaginal ultrasound, but they could not find a gestational sac. I am 4 weeks 2 days today so it may be too early.

The urine test is still positive and my cervix is closed. The PA (physician's assistant) did a pap smear and pelvic exam. She also ordered blood work for hCG and other stuff (like CBC, progesterone, and I think TSH).

She said she thinks either the baby is too small to detect still, I will miscarry soon, or the pregnancy is eptopic. We will see.

[zanacal]

{hugs} fresas, I really hope it's just too early x

Hi Rainbow - it makes no odds whether you're having a girl or a boy, you're still in this gang :D

[rainbowflower]

fresas does sound likely that it's just much too early... still have a lot of hope for you! spotting is normal around the 4 week mark anyway, I had it with both my other pregnancies and last pregnancy continued to get brown discharge up to 9 weeks

the blood test we have done at 8 weeks tests for HIV/and a few other STDs, and we also submit a booking-in pee sample to test for infections

[fresas]

Thanks, ladies!

I'm still having a lot of spotting, mostly brown, but a lot of it. It isn't enough to soak a pad or anything though.

I don't want to check if the cervix is open because I don't want to irritate anything.

I'm not having cramping or back pain. I guess I just have to wait and see. If this is truly miscarrying, I guess I would rather have it happen earlier than later, but would rather not miscarry at all and of course have a happy, healthy baby.

I have a personal question. If you ladies aren't comfortable answering that is okay, but was wondering with anyone who experienced a miscarriage, did you save any of the tissue for the doctor or is it commonly accepted that a one time miscarriage is not something that warrants tissue samples?

[Mochagirl]

I didn't save any tissue, though it would have been easy for me to do it. My missed miscarriage was at 11 weeks and I delivered the sac intact. I chose not to because I felt it was better not knowing if my baby was a boy or a girl (otherwise it would have made it harder if my next pregnancy was a boy), and my mw was fairly confident it was just chromosomal abnormalities.

[rainbowflower]

I didn't save any tissue - they told me no tests would be done until I had 3 MCs.. and (TMI, and distressing) the baby came into the toilet during a bowel movement for me so I didn't want to put my hand in there, it was really traumatic at the time and I was in shock as I thought I'd passed the baby a few days before so wasn't expecting it

actually not knowing the gender is one thing I've found hard to move on from - I felt our baby deserved an identity and I really wish I could know what gender it was

[Mochagirl]

I think I'd feel the same as you if my baby had been further along, rainbow. My sac was empty when I delivered it, and I suspect baby never fully developed or else passed so early my body reabsorbed it. I'm sorry that not knowing still causes you pain :HH:

I like that your body might have reabsorbed it - that seems comforting, like the baby will always be a part of you

Definitely DO NOT check your cervix!! If spotting is because of placenta previa (which it often is) you run the risk of aggravatging the bleeding and you also run the risk of introducing microorganisms that can cause an infection. Stay away from your cervix during pg.

I had spotting with DS 4 because of PP and he is here safe and sound...:pray: for good news.

The main reason why doctors want you to save the tissue is not for testing but because they want to make sure everything is there and nothing got left behind.

[atomic sagebrush]

Not knowing gender was really hard for me, too - I think because I was so d-- happy to see that bleeding because I thought it was AF and then I could launch into doing this big stupid sway...not knowing I was losing my baby...and I just always think my baby was in heaven and seeing me HAPPY and then not mourning it for 4 months - and also especially if it was a boy. :( So I desperately wanted to give my baby an identity and for it to know that I really did care about it and wanted to be its mother and that I wanted it regardless of gender. I HATE it that I did that and it has really stuck with me. So I named it a unisex name but I still find it hard to forgive myself for that.

[Mochagirl]

:hugs:

[Mochagirl]

I think I should qualify that knowing my baby's gender would not have made me love it more or less. Of course I would have loved a baby boy just as much as a girl, and I mourned that lost baby very heavily even though I had a gut feeling the whole pregnancy it was a boy. It's just that for me, perhaps because there was no actual baby when I m/c, finding out the gender wasn't something I needed to do. I mourned the loss of a sibling for my sons, and the loss of all the dreams and hopes for that baby I'd built up over 3 months of pregnancy.

[fresas]

Ladies, thank you so much for sharing such personal stories. I wish you could all feel closure the way you need to. I don't know how to feel yet.

I'm still having light spotting. My next appointment is tomorrow. I will keep you ladies updated. I hope I didn't put a sad mood in this thread. There is a lot to celebrate, but I also appreciate you ladies being so candid and honest. <3

[atomic sagebrush]

Ack I'm sorry Mocha, if my words came out wrong...in my case I was more feeling like if it WAS a boy, I wanted it to know that I still wanted and loved him as much as I could ever love a girl and that I was not happy to have lost him - since I had actually been happy to get what I thought was AF but was actually my loss. It made me really sad to think that there was this baby in heaven looking down and thinking I was glad about it. That was why the gender was important to me personally and all of us have our own different takes on that, no right or wrong at all and I am sorry if my words were at all insensitive to you in any way..

[Mochagirl]

Not in the least, atomic :HH:. I just realised my words might be interpreted the wrong way and wanted to clarify. Everyone mourns in their own way, and for me not knowing the gender wasn't an issue.

fresas - good luck at your appointment tomorrow, and if the news isn't good know we're all here to support you.

[zanacal]

I'll think of you tomorrow fresas x

Good luck for Wednesday Mocha - are you excited, nervous, all of the above?! I can't wait to see that perfect little baby you're growing!

[Mochagirl]

All of the above. I'm excited to see my baby, and nervous both about bad NT results, and also (but less importantly) that I'm going to see a big, boy nub sticking straight in the air!

[zanacal]

I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you, good luck!

[atomic sagebrush]

Me too! :)

[mandicane]

Hey Ladies. Its been a while since i've posted but i've been trying to get on here every now and then when I have a moment. I'm 16 weeks now and can feel the baby move which is nice. I go for my gender scan at the end of the month and I'm so nervous about it! Almost everyone I know thinks I'm having a little girl but i'm still not so sure. This pregnancy has been slightly different from my last with first trimester spotting, constant headaches, sore boobs, lack of appitate, lack of real weight gain, crazy-ass fatigue, and irritability! I fully aware that these are typical pregnancy symptoms regardless of gender so I try not to get my hopes up. My guts tells me its a girl but its hard to trust that feeling because I want a girl so badly.

Over the past few weeks I've really come to terms with the strong possibility that this baby could be a boy and I'm ok with it. I love my little guys so much that another little boy would be a blessing as well. Its funny, cause I feel like I'm going to let everyone down if its not a girl YKWIM?

Its going to be busy here for the new few months as we are selling our home, buying a new one (with plans to move in the summer before the baby comes) and I'm the maid of honour in my best friends wedding! So much going on its stressful but exciting at the same time.

So glad to hear that things are going well with everyone

fresas- hope things work out for you. Will be thinking of you!

Mocha- good luck with your scan here's hoping for a big fat low-angled nub!

Zan- Take care of yourself and don't work if you're not feeling up to it!

[fresas]

mandicane - good luck with the gender scan in a few weeks! So exciting!

mocha - I hope you have a good appointment!

My hCG at 4 weeks 2 days was 800, which the doctor said was within normal ranges, kind of low, but normal. She said we won't know if the pregnancy is viable until the next few blood tests to see if the numbers are doubling. If they double, the pregnancy may still be viable, but I'm not out of the clear yet. If the numbers aren't doubling, then it is indicative of non-viable pregnancy.

My next appointment is Wednesday. I will be officially 5 weeks then. I have another ultrasound then, too.

[Mochagirl]

Fresas - good luck at your appointment :luck:

[zanacal]

FX those numbers improve fresas.

Hi mandicane, lovely to hear from you! So exciting that you're having a gender scan :D

[fresas]

I'm probably going to see my doctor tomorrow because the bleeding has increased. It is bright red and there is tissue in the blood. I have had some lower back pain, also. I'm feeling kind of sad about this because now I'm positive I am miscarrying, but maybe it is for the best. I will just need some time to process this all. I wish there was a way to find out exactly what happened because I am like that. I need lots of details to feel closure. Since I will probably never have the details, I don't know if I will ever feel total closure, but I hope so.

[Mochagirl]

I'm really sorry, fresas :HH:

so sorry :( I'm the same - need details too - and not knowing answers does draw out the grieving process for me.
I won't lie, 2 years on I'm still grieving and still cry about it some days, but it is a lot less raw now and it does get easier to cope with.

[auroara78]

Fresas sorry about the posssible MC :(

It's really interesting thread...I've never had a MC before, but reading what you guys felt about it really helps me try to understand it :(

My sister had two miscarriages, one was super early at like 6 weeks, the other, her last pregancy, has haunted her because it was at around 13 weeks. She was in her 40s so they believe it was chromomal. She had to have a D&C because it wasn't miscarrying on its own. They offered to test for gender or why exactly it passed, but she didn't want information. I totally respect her wishes and understand how for her knowing too much would have made her grieve harder.

However, I think if that happened to me, I'd want to know all details, because not knowing woudl drive me crazy and I would be caught up in wondering about the baby's identity. I think for me knowing the facts would add closure. So I totally get both sides of the coin...of wanting to know, or feeling peace without knowing all the details.

It's a very individual decision.

[fresas]

I'm officially miscarrying.

My progesterone was never high enough to sustain a healthy pregnancy. The pregnancy itself may not have been healthy, either. I just hope the bleeding can hurry up and be done.

I will never know and that will be hard to deal with, but I can do it. Thanks again to everyone for all of the support.

I'm so sorry, fresas :broken:

[purplepoet20]

I really hope for a girl today. Trying to catch up on cleaning and I started washing the 6 30gallon bags of clothing I got at the last clothing swap. So many cute dresses, crazy leggings, and the onies with "daddy's princess" on them. Of course one bag is full of 5 and 6 boys jeans so I guess it's not that much girly things. But the 2 purple dresses have me dreaming right now.

I wish I knew what it was already!

[Mochagirl]

I know what you mean, pp. I just wish I knew for sure NOW so if it is a girl I could relax, and if it's a boy I can start working on moving on from my gender desire and finding happiness as a mom of 4 boys.

[purplepoet20]

Mocha... Both our gender scans seem so far away but yet so close.

[zanacal]

I'm so, so sorry fresas xxx

[indigoviolet]

So sorry to read this fresas ((hugs)) will have you in my prayers :HH:
I didn't want to know gender with either of my m/c incase I went on to just have boys and if one of the m/c babies was a girl it would make it so much harder. It is also hard not knowing and hard just to know it is one of those things that happen and is so common.

mocha- good luck with your scan, so exciting, hope you don't see an obvious nub!!

I havn't posted on this thread before as I assumed it was for pink (successful) sway graduates!

[auroara78]

I think it's open for anyone who did sway pink, regardless if they got blessed with pink or blue bundle.

[zanacal]

Hi Ladies!
Hope everyone's well! I'm almost 28 weeks now and didn't get to enjoy any of the second trimester glow! So tired, sore back etc.... So maybe I'll have a fabulous third trimester lol!

Looking forward to hearing some of the gender scan updates!

[rainbowflower]

Eek - dating scan is tomorrow, almost 21hrs away! I've decided not to ask for a nub pic but will look for one in the scan, and if baby's in a position where it can't be seen I'll take that as a sign to stay team yellow.

[Mochagirl]

Can't wait to hear how it goes, rainbow!

Sassy - my gender scan is tomorrow!

[zanacal]

Good luck tomorrow rainbow and Mocha!

Sassy - I can't believe you're 28 weeks already!

I'm 33 weeks today, the end is in sight! I have 11 days off work after today (yes, I counted!) and I'm so looking forward to relaxing and not rushing around so much :D

So excited for Mocha and for some reason, it has renewed my hope that I may have a girl too...so silly I know, but we did O only a day apart, and I guess because she concieved on xmas eve and me on xmas day I think there is hope for us who got preg. in Dec. to have a girl.

You bet, auroara! I think you're right that our pregnancies are linked somehow. You'll be hearing 'girl' next!
