Re: MoM's to be check in :)
Update: We had our A/S a few weeks ago and found out we are having boy/girl twins!
QOTD: No, no babymoon planned. I think if I were feeling better, I may want to go do something. But, I have just not been feeling well at all. I do so much better when I can sleep in my own bed. But, if I were feeling up to it and if the weather there were warm there, I'd love to get away to Bermuda for a couple of days!
After 22 cycles and tube removal our IVF miracle has arrived! Detailed IF and IVF info in bio.
Update: hit the third trimester and now have less than 10 weeks to go until the boys are full term!
QOTW: Nope, no babymoon for us. I honestly can't imagine traveling while pregnant. The entire first trimester I was sick, and then in the second trimester I had horrible Bronchitis, and now that I'm in the third trimester, going to the grocery store is my version of going out. All the more power to moms who are able to, but I just didn't luck out with symptoms to be able to travel away from home. That's okay though, the money is better off spent on preparing for the boys.
Hi! I'd love to be added to the check in thread!
We are expecting boy-girl twins, technically due May 6th but we're hoping to make it to mid-April.
This will be our second and third children in one shot! We have a 4 year old daughter also.
I'm in the Advanced Maternal Age camp and had a few problems with my pregnancy with my daughter (PIH, pre-eclampsia, carpal tunnel) so we're watching for issues this time around too.
Thanks and congrats to all the MoMs!!
Glowconsin had her trips a few wks ago. No new news on me, just really excited that we could have outside babies in a few wks.
QOTD: At one point, we were hoping to go to Italy for our 5th anni/my 35th in Sept., but several wks before I ended up on bed rest and we nearly lost the twins. Thankfully, we did take a getaway to NYC and the Hamptons just before things went downhill.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
Update: Had my NT scan last week and Baby A wasn't very cooperative so it took an HOUR to get all the measurements we needed, but both babies looked great. They're both measuring about 4 days ahead of when I know I ovulated. Still feeling terrible and throwing up every day. Can't wait for that part to be over.
No babymoon for us, or if we do, we'll have our toddler with us
We are fortunate to have taken some really awesome trips before we started having kids: St. Martin, Hawaii, Riviera Maya, so I don't feel deprived, but I do look forward to when our kids are old enough for us to leave them with family and for them to come with us and enjoy the trip!
QOTW: Are you planning to take babymoon, if so where, if not where would you go if given the chance? What was your favorite past vacation and why?
We took a babymoon around 20 weeks. We went to our usual vacation spot We had a great time. I was still comfortable and able to walk around a lot. We used to go to Cancun every year which is our all time favorite spot. We love the all-inclusive resorts and the beautiful ocean. We can't wait to bring the boys to Disney when they get older.
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm officially "out" at work today. I wanted to wait at least another week but my bump is giving me away. I had several people ask me last week and wasn't very convincing with my evasive words. It's nervewracking to have the pregnancy be more public now, but exciting too.
No babymoon for us. We conceived our twins while on a short trip to Vegas, so that was it for us for awhile
If we could we would love to go on another seven day cruise. We went on one for our honeymoon and one for our third anniversary. I love sitting on the balcony and reading a cheesy book!
Congratulations to the new mommies and babies!!!
No babymoon for us. We opted to open an italian restaurant instead. So the one day a week the hubby will be off will be preparing for babies arrival. We had planned a weekend getaway to Destin for our anniversary but cancelled at the last minute because our son's football team went to the superbowl and we wouldn't be good parents if we went away instead of watching "the biggest game of his life".
Had some "real" contractions last week and the BH just keep coming. We have another ultrasound tomorrow morning because they weren't able to get all measurements needed at the last one. I'm hoping for some good 4d ultrasound pics. Fingers crossed.
Happy Monday to everyone!!!
Congrats everyone!!!!
We will probably go to the Vineyard, or Bermuda depending on how I feel about flying. Maybe we will do both since we can take a ferry to the Vineyard
Best vacation with DH was Italy.
Best vacation (if you want to call it that) without him was the months I spent bumming around Europe. Oh, to be young and care free again!!
I am sooo sick and wish I was in bed instead of work right now. I've hada terrible cold for days and I just want it gone! Just had to whine for a moment...thankfully I have my MFM appt. tomorrow so at least I'll get to see my little guys, that always cheers me up.
No babymoon for us, we're just trying to save as much money & time off as possible since I don't get maternity leave. The best vacation we've taken so far was definitely our honeymoon in Greece. We did Athens, Mykonos & Santorini...I could live in Santorini forever!

We went on a babymoon Thanksgiving wknd (20-21 wks) to my aunt's beach condo at Dewey Beach. We wanted to go somewhere Boston, CT, SC, NC... but decided that we didn't want to spend the money. So we borrowed my aunt's house and didn't have to board our dog. Much cheaper vacation, and we got some awesome sunset pictures and some of our Christmas shopping
I started feeling some baby movements at 21 wks. At my last appt my cervix went back up from 3.5 to 3.8, so I was able to stop stressing about that. Next appt is next Monday.
Update: NT scan looked good, just waiting on blood results which will be in this week. We also caved and booked an elective gender scan, I want to know for the holidays. However, if we need to see the MFM sooner due to any results from the blood test, we'll probably cancel since I assume we'll get a peek there.
QOTW: No babymood planned, not in the budget. I'd love to go to Europe, maybe Greece since DH has never been. My favorite vacations have always been our yearly beach vacations because there is no set agenda and I am always so relaxed when coming home.

No babymoon for us, we're saving all our money for the monstrous expenses ahead. I'd love to go to Hawaii though
I am feeling pretty blah, just want to sleep, although I've never been a good sleeper and that hasn't changed. I get needles and pins constantly (even in half of my face yesterday after I took a nap!), I'm always hungry, my digestion is horrible, my hair and skin are dry and I'm irritable.
When is this alleged "pregnancy glow" thing going to happen? I'm starting to think it's all a myth.
I would like to be added to the list. I am having suprise twins!! I am due June 3rd. I am very excited it will be our first two!! I am hoping to find out the genders on December 20th!! What a great Christmas gift!!
We are not taking a babymoon. Need to save our cash!! I would love to go to a beach! Somewhere warm!!!
The only updates are that they don't have CF (only carriers) and are BOYS!!
Also, just this second, it hit me that we're having 2 babies. Like...soon. Hopefully not too soon but it's creeping up. I keep seeing people's tickers where they say "only 1 month left!" etc and they aren't too too far ahead of me. Cue panic attack...
I've been feeling pretty good lately. And we have a scan scheduled for Wednesday, excited to see what's going on in there!
I don't think we'll be doing a baby moon this time around, but if we do it will be something within an hour of us. We've been having the urge to go camping because we have a brand new travel trailer we've only been able to use a few times. So it would be nice to be able to go hang out by a lake for a weekend before the madness begins!
Update: Last week my appointment didn't go the greatest. My blood pressure has been slowly creeping up, and my cervical length is starting to decrease. My doctor had me do the steroid shots, and has me on stricter bedrest.
QOTW: No babymoon for us! I had really really wanted to go away for a night, but bedrest kind of changed those plans. I'm hoping we can still get out for a nice meal before the babies are born.
It's confirmed, we are having 2 girls! I just got out of the hospital yesterday. They were treating me for low oxygen and an increased heart rate. I also had a pulmonary embolism but after some treatments it looks like things are clear. I am home on bed rest and settling in for the long haul...
QOTD: We can't take a babymoon because I am stuck on bed rest and because we can't afford it. My favorite place to vaca is the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Nice beaches, beautiful weather, all-inclusive resorts and plenty of attractions to see. We usually go every year, but not anymore! Oh well, it's worth it!
Update
OB had me stop working but not on bed rest just taking it easy at home. I am almost 29 weeks and I am defintely feeling it. Having dizziness lightheadedness, diaphoretic and nausea with emisis in the morning after breakfast for 2 hours. Bh contractions wiith to much walking. babies r u good weighing 2.12 and 2.13 at last us. I thought that baby a was supposed to be bigger but I guess it is only an one oz. they r both breech and that has been there trend. Sounds like vaginal delivery won't be an option. We will see what the boys decide.
Hopeful this light duty home rest that I am calling it will go well for another 5 to 6 weeks and I can stay out of hospital.
No real updates here. The girls have their fetal echo this week so I'm getting a little nervous about that!
QOTD: No babymoon for us although I would love one. We have a lot of what we call "baby debt" from fertility treatments so spending money on travel isn't really in the cards for us unfortunately. See, I'm already sacrificing for these kids! lol
QOTW: Are you planning to take babymoon, if so where, if not where would you go if given the chance? What was your favorite past vacation and why?
Nope, No babymoon.. we have waaayy too much going on. But If we could I think we'd definitley go to the Oregon beaches.. I wanna see that so bad. My favorite past vacation would be when I went to Mazatlan, Mexico. I was young, I got to drink and party, and there was the amazing beach! One day we will definitley go back with our kids!
Could you please update by my name? di/di boy/girl
Thank you
Update: Nothing new to report. I have my first appt. with the OB on Thursday, hopefully things are still going well. last week I was exhausted and my bump was huge...this week I feel much better and the bump is smaller. I am sure last week was water retention...so strange though how I can fit into pants one week but not the next.
No babymoon for us. Biggest reason is money or lack thereof. I would love to go somewhere warm, but there is no way I want to be in a swimsuit, be in an airplane, and deal with airports. Not to mention my love of beer/wine on vacation and things like sushi, I would just be more sad.
Boy/girl twins born at 37w1d and 37w2d
No Major updates with me. Went to a chiropractor last week that specializes in Maternity. It made me feel better and I can't wait to see him again tomorrow. I see my OB tomorrow and have a list of questions for her. Seems like I'm starting to slow down quite a bit. My hands hurt every morning and are swollen until about noon. I have some days I feel pretty good, some not so much.
No babymoon for us. We went to Costa Rica before our IVF round and knew that would most likely be our last child free trip for many years.
Update: u/s last week showed baby girl breech and baby boy transverse so we scheduled a c/s for Jan 25
Hoping that baby boy will flip head down for me so we have a shot at a vag delivery!! No BR for me yet, but I'm taking it MUCH easier now that I'm not working, yay!
QOTW: We WANTED to go to NYC, but it didn't happen
It's probably a good thing that we saved the $$ b/c the expenses are adding up! Have a great week ladies!
I'd love to be added to the list!
We are due May 14th, mono/di boys, a big time surprise for us!!!!!
No babymoon here, we've never even had our honeymoon, hahaha. I guess we'll wait till these little ones are old enough to leave with Grandma and Grandpa and finally take our honeymoon then. I love cruises, don't care where
Hi ladies. I'm not super active on here, because although I'll always be a "MoM" at heart and in my belly, we're pretty sure our son "Cricket" will pass when he's born, so that leaves us, hopefully, with one perfect little baby girl. (he has some bladder/lung issues) But sometimes I feel guilty for dismissing (?) him, so I'll participate a little bit ;-) We're due in late March, we suspect. We hope.
QOTD: we just came back from our "babymoon" actually, end of Oct. We scored what we THOUGHT was a deal of a lifetime at a "swanky" AI in Mexico, only to find out they've gone DOWN... WAY DOWN hill since we were there in 2008 and it was no longer swanky... and got stranded there for extra days because of Hurricane Rena that never really came ashore. Le sigh. No sun, no beach... just the lousy TV and meh food. (plus we were talking to our MFM the whole time, Cricket's issues were discovered just prior to leaving, CVS results were coming in, etc. )
So the trip was a bust. ;-(
Congrats to all the new mamas!
Update: Last u/s was a week ago at 28ish weeks. Both boys looked great and weighed in at 3.5 lbs and 3 lbs. Big babies! My cervical length has held steady in the mid- to low 3s, which makes me very happy. Feeling large and in charge these days.
QOTD: We took a mini babymoon of sorts to Chicago at 24 weeks. That was the last time my doctor wanted me to travel, so we've been hanging out close to home, having friends and family come to us, and prepping for the babies since then.
4 Clomid cycles + 3 IUIs w/ injectables + 1 IVF = 1 m/c, 1 ectopic
FET May 2011 = BFP! Beta 1 (8dp5dt): 336, Beta 2 (12dp5dt): 2033, Beta 3 (14dp5dt): 4706
? So thankful for our little guys, born at 33 weeks. ?
I introduced myself yesterday, but I would love to be a part of the check in.
I didn't give much back story about us so I guess I'll do that now. I'm 29, MH is 27 and we're from Illinois. I got the BFP on 11/1 and then found out we were having twins on 11/30 during an office visit for nausea/vomiting after my NP requested an ultrasound. November was a big month, haha. My official due date is July 11, but I wouldn't mind the babies being our presents for our 2nd anniversary on June 25
I will be 9 wks Wednesday. I have my first nurse prenatal appointment next week for labs, and then my first actual prenatal with the NP 12/22. I'm looking forward to the appointments because I thought of so many questions after leaving on the 30th. I think we're having di/di twins, although I didn't even know to ask about that at the time. They are obviously in separate sacs but otherwise I have no idea what I'm seeing in the sonos.
I'm assuming no babymoon for us. We're in "money and paid leave hoard mode" now that we know we're getting twice the children

Fraternal girls born at 35+4. Slow down baby girls!!
Hi!
Had a NST and AFI today --both looked great. Baby B (girl) is presenting head down now, and Baby A (boy) is still breach and up in my lungs. I was sure my BP would be high again and I would get a Dr. appt today-but it was great
So now I am still waiting. Feeling pretty ready for these babies to be on the outside now. I know I should be happy they both still look really healthy and my BP is not high-and I am.
But I shaved my legs and flat-ironed my hair and was really feeling like today was the day
I have a growth U/S on Wed, maybe I will know more then.
We took a long day trip to Wrightsville beach when I was about 25 weeks and that was great-my 4 year old son had never seen the ocean before and he had a blast . I can't wait to take him and the twins next summer!!
Are you planning to take babymoon, if so where, if not where would you go if given the chance? What was your favorite past vacation and why?
We sort of had a babymoon already. We already had a trip planned to Charleston, SC, where we used to live, when we found out we were pregnant. So we were there for 9 days in October. It was amazing to be back in a city we love, eating at all our favorite spots, reconnecting with friends, even spending a day on the beach.
I think my favorite past vacation was the trip to Costa Rica we took in July for our 5th anniversary. Right after we got back, we found out we were pregnant!

I'm Ojo. I've posted a couple times about little stuff while I was lurking, but it's official, we've had two ultrasounds and there are definitely two little heartbeats in there. My due date is July 26th.
No babymoon for us. DH is deployed and won't be back until my third trimester, by which time I'm sure I'll be over the moon to hang out with him at all.

Update: After today's u/s, things are still looking great. Babies are now both transverse (like they are laying on bunk beds) and weighing in at 3 pounds each. The MFM advised me to start "taking it easy" but no mention of BR or anything of the sort thankfully. I'm starting to have a LOT of BH and am quite uncomfortable, especially at night or when doing a lot of walking. Alas, I'm going to keep on trucking along.
QOTW: heck no! We have no money for that, and I definitely don't feel up to it, lol.
Our crazy, wonderful life
QOTW: Are you planning to take babymoon, if so where, if not where would you go if given the chance? What was your favorite past vacation and why?
No babymoon plans for us. We have a DD and we went just me and DH to Mexico this past summer so I'm good for a bit. I just don't see myself being comfortable enough to enjoy a trip anytime in the future so we'll wait.
Best vacation with DH was San Francisco. The night we met he said we should go on a trip and I agreed thinking, "sure, like that will ever happen". A couple months later we were in San Francisco and Sonoma for two weeks on his dime. We were still in the honeymoon bliss phase and getting to know each other so it was constant fun and lots of drinking! I'm glad I did it with him even though it could have been a horrible idea.
I'm new to The Bump, but we're expecting MoMo twins next spring. I'm nearly 19 weeks along, and I'm feeling great.
I don't think we're doing a babymoon. Our babies were conceived on our big trip to Scotland & Ireland last summer.
I'd say one of my favorite trips is our wedding in Greece. Best time ever.
I am currently counting down the days to the big u/s on the 22nd. Just in time for Christmas, and we cannot wait!
No babymoon planned yet. We have talked about going away for just a short weekend but I don't know that it will happen. Hard to fit it in between school and work, and the whole money thing! Though it would be extremely nice to get away.
