SO they want me to wear a heart monitor to see if it happens again and they can find a definite reason why I was sure I was going to die last night. I know the differece between anxiety and not..this was not anxiety. This was so scary. I only saw my reg doc but i made an app with my OB, I need to see her anyway. I have to 2 years after having DD. But i wanted to wait until after AF comes? If she does...I just don't have that "im pregnant feeling" like i did with DD, but i am so crampy today, i don't understand. WE Dtd 5 days before I Ovulated..if am in fact pregnant...it's totally a girl! lol. either way...I cant wait to find out...I am basically saying F it....i think i am gonna go for it next month. I cant risk another oops form DH. I want to be prepared. When he pulled this last one I said "you didn't even drink a red bull or ice your boys" He said "the fan was on and I had some koolaid" isnt that good enough. This guy kills me. I love reproducing with his sexy ass.

OMG, so sorry you felt that awful, that IS scary!!!! Glad you are ok. When is your AF due? Have you tested? I wouldn't think it would matter if you see your OB now or later, if now she can run a beta anyway, or just do a hpt there. You NEVER know, you could be this time. I felt way pg with DD1, like immediately, and not at all with DD2. The only reason I tested was because AF had not come and I felt dizzy at the gym.....the kids care ladies were betting I was pg, so I got a test. Anyway, are you taking potassium, or perchance doing anything that is excessive like eating 5 bananas a day? I know ladies who sway boy have gotten heart palps from too much potassium. You are so cute about your DH, love it!!!! I hope you do reproduce with his ass sooner than later!

I have my pregnancy confirmation appt tomorrow afternoon so I should know something then.

OHHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!! I will be praying hard core tonight that it's just a little early no-big-deal bleeding. I am so sorry, Alexis! Is the flow getting heavier or tapering off? Cramps seem AF like? Sorry, I've had 2 chems and a later one, ya know, so I can tell you that the chems just seem like you are starting AF, but you get some painful cramps for sure. I am SO glad you are going to the dr tomorrow....hopefully they will do a beta and an u/s. Try to stay off your feet and rest tonight. There is really nothing you can do to prevent a m/c, but if it's no-biggie pg bleeding, you need to chill so it will subside. I hope you are doing ok!!!! Just know that if it is, it is SUPER common and you can get pg again immediately if you want to. XOXOXOXO

Lola the flow has lessened which never was heavy. The cramps are AF like and not bad at all. I had a miscarriage before DD1 and the cramps were excruciating and the bleeding was heavy. It's nothing like that.

Jane - FX for a very sticky blue bean!

ELP - so excited for pics, nub or not!

Flava - Sorry you're sick again. I'm with Lola, I think it's a dream about what you're afraid of and I don't think you'll ever dream about boys till you have one. Its hard after so much pink to have any idea what blue would be like.

Lola - Love the idea of a photo gallery!

B - dd doing better and worse I'll explain below lol

iluv - so glad you and your dad talked and your mom's friend cried. I've never gotten a reaction like that ever from anyone. FX you get your hammock back and things don't go too rough for your doula. I hear ya on the exhausted by 3 and the messy house. I'm just waiting for nesting to kick in, dh is too lol FX your last few announcements go smoothly :) As far as baby showers go I never had one with dd1. Since we didn't find out we were waiting till she was born to have one but then my grandma had heart surgery and it just never happened. We had one with dd2 but with dd3 we had a "Baby-Q", we threw a big bbq and invited everyone to come see our new baby. If it's a boy we'll have a big one but if it's another girl we'll do an after the fact again.

Tink - so you're ok then? ttc next month?! Woohoo, are you sure?

Alexis - so sorry hun, fx this is nothing. Let us know what they say tomorrow :(

Daisy - Congrats!! WOOHOO!!


Well ladies dd3 is sort of doing better. She's still coughing and now has a double ear infection, luckily for her she doesn't feel them so she's actually doing quite well today lol We had her 4 yr appt and other then all that she's great, 75th percentile on height and 50th in weight. She got 4 shots (immunizations) and never made a peep, for this she earned M&M's. Her poor little legs are a bit sore but nothing a dose of ibuprofen couldn't fix, such a toughy :)

Hey ladies, just popping in to give an update on me.

Last night I started having this crazy back pain--lower back, down the right side of my butt and leg. Then while I was trying to sleep, I kept noticing uncomfortable cramping in my abdomen. It was on both sides a bit and then increasingly just on the right. It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep. Finally I woke up DH and he helped look up things online for me. Of course, one of the first things was ectopic pregnancy. He was like, go take a pregnancy test now! I was pretty sure I was pregnant because af was late but I had wanted to wait a bit longer to test. But anyway, I tested early early this morning and got a bfp!

I was so worried about the cramping that I called my doctor this morning and they had me come in for blood work. My beta is 571. I don't know if that is supposed to be good? They seemed to think it was fine. I'm supposed to go back Friday to see how it looks then and my first regular appointment is the 14th.

I'm sure it could be a variety of things but I'm nervous about it, particularly that it's so uncomfortable and just on one side. I do remember having cramps with Lillie but I don't think it was just on one side and I don't think it was this sharp. Of course, my symptoms now are already different from when I was expecting her, so who knows. And my menstrual cramps are usually very mild so I guess my cramp frame of reference isn't great.

Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic for now and just waiting to see what will happen. All vibes and thoughts and advice and shared experiences welcome. Oh, and I took an Advil last night for which the nurse promptly chastised me so if anyone has any "took an Advil early and baby didn't immediately disintegrate" stories, those are also good.

Nothing is ever easy. Sigh.

ETA: Due date would be first week of May, SO perfect for two teachers. And I think my sway was good, at least I was doing bsd, coconut water, eating breakfast, larabars, meat, all that, supplements, pre-seed...SO much was different from dd. But I feel like no matter what it is our baby and that's what matters and right now, I just want baby to be okay. :(

Oh wow, Daisy, CONGRATS!!!! I hate that your good news is veiled with worry, but hopefully it is nothing. A friend of mine had an ectopic, and she had to have her tube removed. Then her doc put her on Clomid to make sure one ovary would put out an egg, and well, it put out two and she had b/g twinkies. Anyway, I don't know if you always have to have your tube removed, but if so, it's not that big of a deal, from what I understand. Girl, I hope all is ok. I mean, it could just be a pulling in your uterus already......I will be praying for you also, hun.

OMG, so many worries with everyone right now!!!! I am so cheering for a good outcome for everyone. HUGS>>>>>>

OH GOOD!!!!! It's good you've been there before so you have a point of reference, and know it's not the end of the world if so.....but that makes me feel better, that it may be no big deal. LOTS of women spot and bleed once or all throughout pregnancy......put a post out there and see the responses maybe? I know some women get an AF like bleed once a month, it's rare but happens....I think Atomic had that. A girl on our IG crew bled the whole time, and she has a bouncing 3 month old baby boy now. Hope all is ok, hun!

3pnb, glad your baby is doing better! I know she must be a bit miserable. I love the Baby-Q idea, how cool! I hope you get to have a big shower this time, of course!

Me too Lola, my bff is dying to throw me one!

Omg I was so upset when I read your first post! Hopefully this all works out. Seems like a crampy month for pregnancy! maybe this means we will all have rambunctious little boys!!! Please keep us updated!!!

I am not going to test till AF is late, is she is then I will. I am due next tues. This cramping shit is killing me though. If not, I think we will go for it next month...I say Fuck it...literally..Whats a month I can wear spanks!
