Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

[TTCPink]

I got my BFP this morning!!!! I am so thrilled!! Please pray for a sticky healthy baby!! I had a great sway this month....LE diet, clomid, and only one attempt. I am so grateful that we are being blessed with another baby and feel at peace knowing I gave my all and whatever gender we are blessed with is meant to be. So so happy right now! I put a pic on longtermers thread but I can't get it to post here.

TTCpink....I told myself I would never jump onto and intrude on the longtermer thread....but that was the awesome news of the morning and I just HAD to! And it was not posted anywhere else...I had to say that it made my day just to hear that you are preggo!!!!!

[Charlee]

OMG TTCPink I am soooo happy for you!!! YAY!!! That is an awesome sway and no matter what, after waiting for this long you will be so happy. I just know you've got a girl in there though

Yes Emily, one more month! I went to l&d with contractions yesterday and they gave me IV fluids and something to stop the contractions (I can't remember what it was called and it sounded hard to spell haha) Anyway I got scolded for being dehydrated ... lol... and my fluid level (AFI) was at 8, which is the very bottom of acceptable. They are really trying to keep him in till at least 37 weeks because they think he's on the small side.Both DS1 and DS2 were only 6 lbs each so I wasn't expecting a huge baby anyway...

Just a quickie, no internet access until Thurs - YAY TTCPINK!!! WTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Son happy for you!! Been thinking of you Charlee, hope you & your LO make it a little bit longer.
We moved in yesterday so all still upside down. Seeing my consultant to cancel my planned c-section tomorrow (for 12 days overdue)
to you all!

Thank you everyone!! I am still in shock that this is actually happening!! I did have some more light brown spotting yesterday evening and this morning with a bit of cramping. Nothing red, so I hope that it is just the little bean burrowing down in there! Praying! I will take another test in the morning to make sure the line is still nice and dark. I think I may go get a digital so I can see the word "pregnant" and hopefully that will make me feel more confident!!

Charlee, thinking of you!! Hope things have settled down for you today and that the contractions have subsided with the medicine.

GeCon, what an adorable scan photo!! I am just drooling over the thought of having a newborn baby in my arms again. You girls are so close to the finish line!! So exciting!!

Ilovelladybugs, I hope your appointment goes well. Keep us posted.

Myrainbowgirl, I'm glad all is going well your end. And time is flying - can't believe girls in this group are in single-figure weeks to see their babies. So exciting!

I don't feel too bad - as far as m/s goes I thought I'd be much worse. Only the odd wave of nausea ever one in a while especially if I'm hungry or turn over quickly in bed. What's getting to me at the moment is water retention/edema. Got it in my right breast (had an op a couple of years ago to removed excess accessory breast tissue, right side more effected and was told would take a while to settle, which it did but is coming back), my upper arms, low stomach inner thighs and occasionally my ankles. I didn't think it would kick in so early and not sure what to do to ease it - I'm doing my best to drink around 8 cups of water and have never been a huge salt eater anyway.

I get fluid retention really bad in pregnancy too, I am drinking 1 cup of dandelion root tea a day, to help with it. Check if it's safe for early pregnancy though, you may need to wait until 12 weeks. Also, it's on the "we kind of think its safe" list, so that's why my naturopath said just do 1 cup, and let it brew for 10 mins. Coffee (with caffeine) is a natural laxative and helps with fluid retention too, my nurse friend told me to drink 1 cup at least a day during pregnancy to help with fluid as well! Like I needed an excuse, haha. But this way I do 1 cup of each and don't overdo the caffeine.
