LMSM im so excited for you guys to go for #4!! :heart:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all :) here's to lots of bfp's in 2020!! xxx
Hi there!
I'm currently pregnant with DS3. My due date is in march 2020 and i would like to sway pink at the end of the year, like oct-nov 2020. I know it's crazy but we've done very well with 2 year gap, so if all goes well with DS3 we'll try for a shorter one so we can get through the baby stage sooner (although i love the first year so much it can be addictive).
best luck to everyone!!!
Just 3.5 months to go. Can’t wait to join the May TWW group.
I plan on trying April-May, I’ve been on le from July but stops a few times and had a chemical after Christmas. Been off diet for a month, so I restarted, this time I am doing what I did when I got my DD. I cut out sweets and soda, and no meat. lent is coming up so I usually do it anyway I just started early.
I’m a huge sweets eater. So cutting it out. I eat lunch around 11:30-12 am, I do have coffee with no cream just equal in morning. Dinner around 4:30-5pm since my kids are so hungry after school. Then a late snack before 8pm. Been on it for a week and doing good this time around. Finally at the point where I’m ready for this. Best of luck ladies!
Same here :) are you swaying pink again?Quote:

Hello! Nope not swaying this time. Just doing my usual eating. I drink 2-3 cups of black tea a day with lots of cream or milk. I don’t usually eat breakfast or eat a very light breakfast but I always have tea first thing. I eat unhealthy a lot of the time and absolutely prefer carbs and meat to fruit and veggie. I realize this is a problem lol. Sometimes I go gluten-light because I know it helps me lose weight and also it’s better for my thyroid condition. I’m over weight, 175 lbs at 5’6”. I’m always trying to lose weight. Plus lent is coming up and I’ll be going gluten-light except on Sunday’s.
So I feel it’s probably balanced? We will see!!
Just got back from Disneyland a couple of days ago. It was amazing.
Ahhh MommyMachine your family is beautiful!! :heart: May is almost here!! :D
Thank you!Quote:

Get myself and DH on the supplements
- multivitamins for both of us
- salmon oil for both of us
- probiotics for both
- coq10 for both
- folic acid for me
I think both of our multivitamins have vitamin D in them but not the whole suggested 1000ui
Plus I will switch to the healthy boy foods and make sure I’m eating regularly but not go up to 2000 calories until about a month before TTC.
I’m way over my head in terms of weight lifting and any help would be appreciated.

Ok great!! Just making sure!
If your multi has D in it you may not need to add more.
It does..but only 800UI. Do you think that’s enough?

I like anywhere in the neighborhood of 1000. A little more, a little less is ok. Just not exponentially more, LOL.
Thanks Atomic. I have an important question; which of the above supplements do I stop at ovulation if any, and which do I need to wean off of at BFP?
Thanks!

Extra folic acid take at that level thru the entire first tri, then wean off
None of those are stopped at ovulation.
Awesome thank you so much!Quote:

They have artificial sweeteners in them and are probably best avoided.
So I average around 1300-1600 calories a day. Otherwise I gain weight like crazy. I gain so much weight during my pregnancies because I don’t hold back on food. I’ve worked hard to lose weight to where I am now, still overweight though with a BMI of 27.5. How many calories should I be eating during pregnancy to make sure the baby is getting enough but not go crazy like I always have before?

1800 to start with, and then let your weight gain be your guide. :)
Thanks Atomic. I appreciate it!Quote:

im not sure if it means anything but it does seem that our age-gaps are getting bigger now, our youngest 2 have the biggest age gap (19m) despite us not preventing and if i get bfp this month it'll be an almost 18m gap.
If you dont mind me asking, with you being a mum of many are they obsessed with post-partum hemorrhage during your pregnancies? over here (UK) its all they talk about, its like they are certain i will bleed out and die despite me never losing more than 150mls with any of my births. Im starting to think its used as a way to try and scare women out of having what society sees as "too many" babies.
How exciting to be on the TTC boat!! Lots of baby dust for you.
I'm nearly a month postpartum with mi little one, DS3. I said I would sway at the end of the year but not so sure now, lol.
4blue2pink they did warn me about more risk of hemorrhage being my third. I have to say I was like a waterfall until they got a piece of membrane or placenta that was a bit stuck. But they didn't say more so I guess it was just scary in the moment but ended up well. Bleeding-wise, I feel it's been about the same than with the other 2, but the afterpains...wow, it felt like going through labour again! (And ive always gone for natural birth).
I hope you all get your bfp soon!

Not at all. I’ve heard about it, and I know it’s a thing, but they have hardly ever brought it up. My OBGYN has never commented on the number of children I have, she has only said “we will take care of the next one as well as we take care of this one” however that was 3 babies ago lol. That’s so interesting that you experience that. Weird how places are so different.Quote:
