Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ February

[maybebabythree]

Thanks for reminding me to stay positive and the induction could go well. I know they are quick and I should be grateful of a quick birth, just worried mainly about the intense pain and fear or tearing. My bf hac a super fast labour last time after a sweep and ended up with a third degree tear and had to had a blood transfusion. Ph well however it goes it will be indignifide and painful!

[Inglewood]

Deaks, try not worry. Not easy after the end of last year for you. But try stay +ve, my levels were thru the roof being twins, they didn't even tell me, so I'm no help, sorry!

Petal, sorry to hear ds3 isn't so good, the wee man. Hope the stool sample comes back clear of any bugs/viruses. I was laughing at u saying "the old man" in OBEM as dh and I both said, shouldn't he be retired!! lol How awful she had to go thru that! Another mum locally said the same thing happened to her with twins, at least she had an epidural, but said it was still very sore.

Maybe, glad ur thinking a bit more +ve, all births are different and the end outcome is good with babe in arms.

Happy Valentines day, DP had flowers delivered to the house which really threw me! Nice though

Kell glad the puppies are settling hope you get more rest tonight.

Inglewood The next step with Dr's is more bloods, (day 21) We came to the conclusion that my day 16 spotting was the start of a new cycle so I had a 16 day cycle that I didn't ovulate in followed by a 30 day cycle, which I may have ovulated in. I really hope my cycle stays normal. Normal type AF besides on off lower back pain in my ovaries trying to try not to look too much into it though.

Babymad I am TTC in a big way this month I just want to be pregnant really badly now. Especially with my dodgey cycles. Also today a friend of mine who knows I'm swaying has decided that she and her husband want to TTC no2.
Our cycles are in sync and it would be amazing if we could have EDD a few days or even months appart.

So my new plan for this month is no gels which is risky but am on the same acidophilus as Deaks and Inglewood that makes your pH super low. I've been on a strict girl diet for over 4 months now even stuck to it when we went away. I also weigh the same as I did when I was about 13/14!! So hoping that is my strongest sway. I'm throwing timing out of the window and just going to DTD loads between CD 10 to O day probably even over O. But going to use an anthistamine- which one i'm not sure, any help would be great? I'm not on Cranberry Tabs anymore.

Deaks do you mean Just us mum's no Children? Where is Wells if it's not the one in Somerset?

Good luck - sounds like a great plan

[Babymad]

No, just the once. I don't believe timing sways at all but I wanted to make sure we DTD on the third of DH's 'releases' in a 24 hour period and he released twice a day for 10 days prior to that.

I feel massive too, hate to wish away the rest of my last pregnancy but I really am!

What did you do to get your boys? Did you do the opp this time?
Do you think lowering sperm count is important hence your freq release?

We tried freq with DS3 that's why I tried abstaining this time and bd after ov.....along with diet, amazing how it works for most but not all.

I feel massive too - really struggling with my breathing which is really getting me down. I long for the next 15-17 weeks to go quickly!!

[Babymad]

How big were your boys? 15 weeks will fly by

I bloody hope so
First two boys were 8lb 1oz and my third was 9lb 5oz!! Hoping this one isnt too big!

[Babymad]

Charlie ~ I'm not sure what to suggest....I'm not the best one to advise really as I've really struggled since finding out but I know I definitely saw a willy and that's not the case for you so you have no reason to think its a boy like I did. I wanted to go to the scan on my own as needed to be on my own after....I hope you manange to decide what is right for you, don't rush yourself xx

Pinga ~ I'm having bad days and ok days so just trying to do my best to be honest. I feel very drained at the moment...when do the tears stop!!

Petal ~ hope your little man is better soon hugs xx

Inglewood ~ I thought the woman with twins did really well and how fab to give birth naturally. So they were so sweet!
Happy Birthday for tomorrow, have a lovely day x

Deaks ~ I hope your numbers have doubled Hun, try not to panic too much yet, even though I know that's really hard xx

Off for a drink tonight with girlfriends, need a glass of wine, DS3 has been hard work this week!

[Inglewood]

Z and Babymad, I did freq release too this time (for just over a week), as ds2 was def from abstaining, well we hadn't bd for almost 2wks.

Babymad, my boys were 9lbs 1oz and 8lbs 5oz (early section, or he would of been big too) so thinking even tho I am having 2, I reckon over 7lbs each!!! hate feeling breathless, I have about 6lbs of babies already!!

[charlieispy]

thanks ladies for putting up with me and my stressing and yes babymad i am an overworrier BIG TIME lol

Well i booked a scan................its not till 13th march though I ended up going for a 4dscan after school so the boys can come too. I will ask for the gender to be writtten down and then read it at home - if i want to LOL

Babymad - i have the breathlessness thing already x hugs its horrid - i think once you notice it though you then are aware so its harder to breathe and you almost have a mini panic attack. Somedays seem better than others x x

inglewood - happy birthday for tomorrow hope you have a lovely day x



Deaks - HUG HUG HUGs for your blood results firstly YES o-ing late will make a big difference to what your levels should be and the important part is that they double in 48hrs, many people with low hcg go on to have healthy babies not that you will stop worrying i know that x try and stay positive FX FX FX for that next result to come back doulbed or tripled!

[Babymad]

Has the MW said how big your babies are Inglewood? I think it will be better to have 'bigger' babies as theres two so at least you havent got the worry of them being too small.
What are your plans for tomorrow?

Charlie ~ sounds like you are happy with your decision, is DH going to? What does he think to finding out? I hate the breathing problems, I had really bad asthma with ds3 and ended up bring rushed to hosp with an asthma attack - it was horrible I feel like im being suffocated!
I climb the stairs and feel like im going to pass out!
Hope yours doesnt get too bad x

[chocolate]

Charlie - Yay for scan!

Inglewood- enjoy your birthday, hope you get spoilt!


Im seriously considering going high tech for number 4, if I know I can go down that route then I can just get on with enjoying this pregnancy and my boys without keep thinking about not having a daughter. Think OH is a bit shocked about the amount of money, but if we carry on working and saving as we are then we can afford it, and still have time after to build up extra savings that is ours to splurge on or save as we will have enough for the house diy and general savings.
I didnt think Id seriously consider going HT but I dont think I can do this swaying again for number 4 knowing 4 is my last chance and for the sake of spending some money on IVF instead of clothes and cafe trips over a few years then we could do it.

Do I sound mad lol? One minute Im fine with all boys but the next Im thinking, no Im not letting go of this daughter dream until Ive tried all routes, sigh!!

On another note, Im only just over 11 weeks and sure Im feeling little tickles where baby is! Talk about slack muscles lol
