Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

[I Love Ladybugs]

I'm happy to announce I got my unexpected bfp on Friday the consequences are going to be rough as my boss told me on Friday he wants me to have increased responsibilities as sales are going to go through the roof next year... Small business... Typical:/ well he'll have to get over it if this one sticks. Had tested negative last Saturday so thought game was over, but obviously not. Feeling well, sore nipples that's all, now focusing on the inevitable: hearing boy in12 weeks time...

That is what you get for joining the longterm thread....they are filled with the most awesome BFPs!! But don't count yourself out yet for hearing girl.....you might have a super sticky little pinkie on board!!! Congrats!!!!

[Niva]

Congrats, Mathilde, that is truly awesome news!! I knew it would happen for you soon!!

Ladybugs, you were totally right to trust your intuition about your baby being healthy. Glad you can finally breathe again!! What a wonderful sound!

[GeCon]

Niva, just wanted to wish you lots of luck for tomorrow's results.

Cagirl.....Yay for nicely rising betas!!! My DS1 betas were high compared to DS2, but guess who I had icky long lasting m/s with???? DS2 made me think pink right to the 2 secs before the u/s wand revealed beans and weanie!! I do wish you a happy and healthy 9 months with your sticky pink bean!!

Cagirl, good news on the betas rising. I have added you to the 1st post.

Ladybugs, regarding weight gain: I can hear you. I feel I need to eat all the time as otherwise I feel sick, but I have also already put on a few pounds. I will need to get this under control.

[Emily]

Niva, really hope you get good news today.

Cagirl, hmmm high betas? Could it be twins? Great sign for a healthy bean anyway. Hope your MS gets better. I think mine is waning now but have managed to pull something in my back pulling DS2 up two flights of stairs in his buggy. I can't bend over properly and the pain is taking my mind off my sickness!

Mathilde, yeah! Congratulations. Such great news I bet you are absolutely thrilled!

TTC pink sorry I haven't got a clue when it comes to temping. I gave it a go but all those dips are really confusing! I go by OPKs more. If you were DTD around the right time you are in with a good shot. Do you have any reason to think you might not be ovulating? Are you very thin?

I have my 12 week scan on Thursday and haven't found anyone to watch DS2 they don't allow children in the scan room here in Spain so unless we get a friend to take time off work DH won't be able to see the scan. Not happy about that obviously.

[GeCon]

Oh no, Emily, what a shame. Fingers crossed you'll find someone who can watch your little one and your OH can go with you.

Thankfully they are very accommodating here. Our LO has been with me to all of my doctor's appointments, most of which included internal scans when I was on Clomid and since being pregnant and LO was allowed to sit on the chair with me at the time.

Hi girlies, hope I haven't missed much!? I finally feel better after having a Nasty bug which then went round every member of my household! DH complained the most about it... men!!! hahaha. My DS1 has now got a bad ear infection so all in all its been a awful week.

On the up side had my midwife appointment and heard a lovely HB.

Sorry you didn't hear girl charlee, congratulations on your little boy though!

Congrats on hearing a HB ladybugs, I'm so pleased for you!

Cagirl congrats on the rising betas

Emily they don't let siblings in at our hospital either. I have asked my mum to babysit but she is complaining she wanted to see the scan. Hope you manage to get sitters.

Cagirl, good news on the betas rising. I have added you to the 1st post.

Ladybugs, regarding weight gain: I can hear you. I feel I need to eat all the time as otherwise I feel sick, but I have also already put on a few pounds. I will need to get this under control.

That is why I had been eating like that until 13.5 weeks, but for the last week, I realized that I NEED to get it under control. What made it worse is that since 9w4d, my right knee has been even sore to walk on, let alone run, so my stress release that I get from running disappeard. I did finally do a small walk/run for 7 mins on Sat and my knee right now feels no worse for the wear. I will repeat that today for 10 mins and hopefully be able to have some form of appetite supressant out of it and stress relief!!

3boys....glad to hear that the sick is leaving your house. What a rough week that is! And we are only allowed to have adults in the u/s, so my mom is going to look after both boys.

Oh Ladybug I'm in the same boat I'm afraid When i was weighed in at the doctors office on Friday she second guessed the scale and made a big deal about it being off and having to recalibrate it... but after the recalibration it WAS NOT wrong! I gained 14 lbs last month! That is just crazy... haha... she said where have you put it?!?! LMAO

I then, of course, had a lecture about weight gain during pregnancy and blah blah blah... haha! I gained 65 lbs with DS1 so this is not unusual for me LOL... when I had my loss at 32 weeks I had only gained 17 lbs and got scolded for that too.... we just can't win!

I know it SUCKS to watch the weight pile on but here's what I say: We can lose the weight afterwards! You have done it, I've done it and we can do it again! I think I've gained it because the m/s was sooo bad and everyone kept telling me to eat and it would go away.... well, needless to say that DID NOT happen and now I'm being scolded for eating! Talk about mixed messages!

Don't make your knee worse my dear... you're pregnant and it's going to get worse no matter what (I have a reconstructed ankle so I know about these injuries)... this baby is worth every pound! And we can motivate each other to loose the weight afterwards
