CONGRATS Helen!!! Welcome to the other side :)
Dana and Amy - good luck tomorrow. Can't wait to hear the birthing stories and see our new little additions.
Congrats Helen!!! I'll be praying for a sticky bean!! :)
Next time I log in I will have news to report! It's so surreal!! Thanks to all my ladies who have supported me through the ttc and pregnancy journey! Hugs!!! Couldn't have done it without your help!!
Ladies I can't believe it, my AF was due Fri and sure enough that evening there was pink when I wiped, it was mucusy but I didn't take too much notice and put a pad on thinking AF was here. I felt sooo upset and was really thinking that I couldn't keep going and was seriously considering giving up. Well I had no more blood, all through yesterday nothing at all so this morning I decided to test even though I've had no preg symptoms (saying that I had no PMT this month either). It was BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I was shocked, then happy, then shocked, then crying, then shock, lol. I'm obviously a little worried about that bit of mucus blood and so feel that I've got to remain realistic and not get too excited just yet. It was a very definite positive though which is a good sign and the lack of symptoms isn't phasing me as with all my successful pregnancies I had none or little symptoms.
Please send me lots of SSBD to make this little bean stick, it still hasn't sunk in!
Helen
I've used the Palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks for both pregnancies and to be honest it didn't help at all. I used it at least twice a day, it helps keep your skin stretchy so you are less likely to have stretch marks; however, nothing can prevent stretch marks. I hope it helps you, but it sure didn't help me!
Also, make sure you use it afterwards for a while too, I did notice that it helped the stretch marks blend in. I think it did more good afterwards than before hand.
I'm getting so excited! 9 more hours until the induction! I'm really hoping it goes well! I got a nursing cover sewn today so I'm all ready for when she's here. I didn't even spend much on it either, I got 5 yards of fabric at wall-mart for $5, only used about 1 yard, and the D-rings were only a few dollars too. With my son I just hid in a room when he needed to feed, it'll feel nice to have some sort of thing so I can nurse in front of family. I'm not sure if I'll post how things go tomorrow or not, depending on how I'm feeling but I'll defiantly update everyone on Tuesday. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
Tausha - yes, I'd take a healthy baby over ultrasounds any day.
Dana - Good luck on Monday!
Hey ladies. I know some of you are at the same stage of pregnancy as I am so I thought I would share. At about 15 weeks pregnant I started to use Palmer's cocoa Butter formula:Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks. I put a GENEROUS amount on my belly every night before bed and I haven't experienced a stretch mark yet...not to say I wont later but it is working so far. Just thought I would share. Be sure to wear an old t-shirt to bed....it will be saturated with belly butter the next morning.
