Re: PG & TTC Check-In 5/31
TTCing Questions 1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Waiting to O. We took a few months off from TTC but started trying again this month. 2. What are you looking forward to this week? Not a whole lot happening this week. 3. Questions for next week? Did you have any problems with DH feeling pressured while TTC? If so, how did you help ease his mind? My DH feels like the TTC thing adds pressure and he is having a hard time with that. While I understand what he is saying I also think he needs to just get out of his own head and relax. It's making things difficult because I feel like I can't tell him when it's our O window, but he'll figure it out when I want to have sessy time everyday for a few days. I just don't see a way around it. I'm not even being hardcore about the whole thing. I've charted AF but otherwise I haven't been temping or doing OPKs. I'm at a loss for how to make him feel better about it, but also be able to be sure we are hitting our O window.ETA: Changed some wording.
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
Week 35 - and I'm trying not to complain but at the same time it's becoming really obvious that I need to start slowing down at least a little. This weekend was brutal - baseball tournament for DS(15), marketing for DH's business and a car show on Monday that I was standing/walking/working for 13 hours straight. Last night I fell asleep at my computer and woke up in time to go pick up DD(17) and am SO sore...
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
June 8th is my next appointment - Group B strep test and my first internal (nothing's happening...I'm 99.9% sure).
3. What are you looking forward to this week?
We've got our annual open house at DH's shop this weekend - so no rest for the weary, lots of marketing and prep to do. Luckily my "real" job is slow so it's not going to be too bad!
4. Questions for next week?
How about "what # LO is this for you and how many are you planning on having?"
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 18 weeks, and a LOT of new aches and pains... the rapid growth of my belly over the past 2ish weeks has been super painful =( I never got uncomfortable with my first pregnancy and I am definitely already uncomfortable with these ones.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Thursday, another ultrasound, yay!
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Pink or blue party on Sunday!! (cross your fingers for SUN!)
4. Questions for next week?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 36 weeks (wow!). My hips have been getting really sore during the night and when I wake up in the morning. Otherwise I feel good, so glad I haven't had the really bad back pain I had with Max (yet, anyway).
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Tomorrow, GBS swab.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Nice short work week! It's DH's first week at a new job so hoping all goes well there for him.
4. Questions for next week?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
Feeling good! My hips and pelvis are pretty sore. I definitely feel it when I'm chasing around 2 toddlers, picking them up a lot still, picking up toys etc, but compared to a twin pregnancy - so much better!
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
Just had an appt this morning. GBS came back negative, BP is low (I was induced for pre-e last time so this is great news), baby is head down, Cervix is 80% effaced and I'm a fingertip dilated. Just have another normal check next week.
3. What are you looking forward to this week?
Being 37 weeks and what my doctor considers full term!! My girls were born at 34w5d and already home at this gestation so I've been counting down to having a big full term baby.
Also looking forward to another sunny weekend to play outside in!
4. Questions for next week?
For people that have gone into labor before - when did you "know" that this was it? Like I said, I was induced last time so I'm so interested/excited to go into labor on my own hopefully.
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
14 weeks pregnant, actually starting to feel a little better now and hoping it continues in that direction
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
Next appointment in a month, Anatomy scan to find out the sex!
3. What are you looking forward to this week?
The fact its a 4 day work week and maybe some shopping/movie this weekend.
4. Questions for next week?
When did you start seriously looking into daycare options?
Can I still play even though I moved out of Seattle? The Phoenix board is so dead, and I miss Seattle.
If so, please add me!
Due Aug 25th with a very bashful baby girl!
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 27. No major aches and pains. My feet love to swell up and my hips pop often, but nothing too major. The biggest thing that bothered me this week was that my belly piercing ripped. I took the ring out at eight weeks, as it was already uncomfortable. However, the poor hole is already so stretched that it tore from the inside, and is now infected and gross. Lovely! Reverting back to soaking it in salt water with a shot glass, just like when it was pierced four years ago.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? GD testing in a week, as well as a general appt.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Not a whole lot. I don't work anymore, since the move, so I sit at home and coupon. Life is pretty boring when your stuck at home with no car while DH works! At least being a SAHM is looking like its in my future, which is my DREAM.
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 19 weeks. Everything is sore and I'm super uncomfortable. I do not remember being this uncomfortable with Em. I keep getting weird pains/pressure just under my ribcage, I have no idea what it is.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Friday! It's our big ultrasound! I'm super excited!
3. What are you looking forward to this week? My ultrasound and one of DH's co-workers' neighborhood does this HUGE garage sale, like it takes you hours to get through and there's some awesome stuff! It's on Saturday and we should know, unless baby doesn't cooperate, what we're having so we'll get to look at some gender specific stuff :-)
4. Questions for next week? What do you do when your husband drives you crazy? I tell DH I'm going to punch him at least once a day, he's driving me insane!
I've added you for next week. Welcome to the board! If you're not too shy, maybe start a new post introducing yourself to the whole group (not everyone looks at the check-in). It's a nice way for us to get to know you, and welcome you to the board.
I added you for next week.
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Just started the 2WW. We didn't do any IF treatments this month. I'm trying to believe that we really can get pregnant on our own, but after nearly 2 years it's hard. I'm doing my best to be optimistic though.
2. What are you looking forward to this week? Vacation. I have a conference in Boston at the end of the week, DH is coming out to meet me and then we are taking a road trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame (for him) and the White Mountains in New Hampshire (for me). Definitely need some time off from the day to day life!
3. Questions for next week? Nope.
Did you have any problems with DH feeling pressured while TTC?
Granted, we are in a different situation given that we're already undergoing fertility treatments, but even before we started--yes. He hates it when I tell him the schedule. He likes to pretend it is spontaneous. So I just stopped telling him. OPK's helped, because then I could narrow it down to a 3 day window (very sexy, I know, but that's what it came down to after awhile). It's hard, and I don't know that I have any great suggestions. We still struggle with this. I had no idea getting KU would be so much work!
