TTC for the 2nd Month

MielieMel

This is our second month ttc for baby Gareth or Olivia and I am hoping we are lucky. Everyone has told me not to get my hopes up, to sit back, relax and let things take their course, but i cannot control how I feel, and right now I feel that I hope we are lucky. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to stay calm and focus on other things?

Get a hobby, blog...enjoy TTC? It could take a while or it could happen quickly we are all different.

I would hardly start worrying at this point.

This is my DH second month ttc as well : to keep my mind off it I will spend an hour tops each day on pregnancy apps, forums etc and that's it. Really helps me not get carried away.

I can tell you what I WISH I had done during the year it took to conceive DS.

I wish we had gone out to dinner at fancy places alone more often.

I wish we had taken more vacations and more weekends away.

I wish we had spent more time with our childless friends.

It's hard to stay relaxed but really, keeping busy is about all you can do!

 

Will keep your wishes in mind! Thx.

All of this. Enjoy your life as it is.

I want to throat punch everyone who tells me to relax. I'm too type A for that shiz. My advice would be to find an outlet. I write in a journal so I don't drive everyone else in my life BSC. Good luck.

This was going to be my advice. Telling me to relax is kind of like pouring gasoline on a fire. That's why I'm here on this board and why I have a journal as well. It gives me a place to connect with other women in a similar situation as me and the journal is an outlet for my crazy.

I agree with the Journal Idea! Also do your best to make sure that you are truly baby ready. Not just mentally but physically as well. Are you taking prenatal vitamins? At your ideal pre-baby weight? This is my first month TTC so I'm just as anxious. My ob/gyn recommend that I start prenatal vitamins a least 3 months before trying. I think it's a great idea!

 Now there's a plan. Thanks. Will def try that. We decided not to tell the family just yet (although I couldnt keep it from my mom) as we didnt want the added pressure, but why does everyone have to tell you when they think you should have a baby. Journal will probably be filled by the end of the  month!!!

Thx! Started the vitamins beginning of May and trying to reach an ideal weight. I picked up a tiny bit of weight a little while ago, now in at 147lbs so trying to stay there. My mother asked a while ago why i was developing a little stomach, asked if i was pregnant and told me to cut out the carbs.... i told her that when we fall pregnant i want them developing in a mansion, not a little bachelor pad so i was preparing their mansion for development!!!
