Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear babysos,

Thanks a lot for your hearty wishes. Am really happy to recieve all your messages. It' s great support from all of you! How are doing? Hope you are trying for this month. Lots of baby dust on you and let' s hope for the best this month. Always be relaxed, and let me know if you need anything.

As for me, am 5 weeks pregnant by now and my due date is Jan 5th 2008. I' m feeling extremely tired and having nausea now and then. Gyn didn' t suggest any particular prenatal vitamin, as of now am still taking the mutliviatmin. Will have to call her again and ask about \" Premacare 1\" which my friend suggested.

As for you a little suggestion, try to make love 2-3 days before ovulation and one day after too. Good luck dear!

Take care and be cool!

Lots of love

KR

Hey KR..

Thanks for your wishes! I am in the 10 day phase of my possible ovulation so my hubby and i are trying every alternate day. I am hoping it works out soon but I am also giving it a few months time. It will happen when it is meant to happen. So as far as possible, I am convining myself not to get too stressed and enjoy the process.

I am lucky (touchwood) coz I don´ t get any pressure from my hubby, family or in-laws for a baby. Personally, i am ready and hoping for the best! So keep praying for me! :-)

Hope you are doing well. Eat well and enjoy your pregnancy. Keep in touch!

Love n hugs,
Babysos

Dear Sherry,

Really sorry to hear about it. I actually loggen in to see if you ahve given any message as i remmber your period is due 6th. But it' s okay.....you know you just started your TTC, so don' t panic. There' s nothing wrong in anyhting you have done..I actually drive car like 5 times a day to pick, drop and take my daughter to tuition, library and go shopping too. As Meghnah said may be this wasn' t the month it suppose to be.

As far as making love, I will suggest the way I followed after reading lots and lots of wesites. It' s confusing when you read about it so much, so decided to go on my own. I started in on the 7th day from the first day of my periods( as my period lasts for 5 days) and had baby making session every day till the 14th day. And then there after alternate days till 7 days before your first day of your periods. It' s not necessary that you have to akke love every day, alternate day is enough.

I totally gave up coffee, i was going for 25 mins brisk walk, took multi-vitamin and then had lots of fruits and veggies, atleast 1 fruit and 2 veg a day. Drink lots of fluid and ask her hubby to eat well too...which is very very important.

When you make love, don' t be stressed out thinking about getting pregnant. Raise your hips while making love for deeper penetration and lie down on your back for 15-20 mins on the same postion. I use to rest my legs up on a chair while waiting.........all these are just in case precautions, which is not a rule to follow. because i know i did not do any of these for my first pregnancy. I always use to run to the restroom and wash myself and take bath.

I Can undestand you very well.......don' t worry. Everyone have their own personal problem, try to concentrate on things you love and hopefully you will be relaxed. Be stressed will affect your body which obviuosly will affect concieving. So please try your best to forget the problem as of now or try to solve it if it has to be taken care now.

Hope my suggestions will be helpful. Let me know if you need any help. Lots and lots of baby dust on you! And one more thing, i don' t know which GOD you worship.....but you can always depend on him. So please pray and if you have this ritual like tieing money in a yellow cloth wishing for whatever our wish is and then when the wish is granted , take that to a temple and drop them in \" UNDIYAL\" .

Take care!

Thank you so much, Gotta tell you guyz couple of things,my mum isn´ t keeping well, she has high BP and sugar. My elder sis gave birth to a baby gal in the month of April´ 07 since then mom is busy doing work at home,taking care of the baby and my sis and also attending the un invited guests.That irritates me. So my hubby left to Coorg 2day to get my mom here so that she can stay with us for sometime. So mum is our baby for couple of months now.Let she get well and then we will plan accordingly maybe as you told everything happens for good!

Please pray for my mom.Thank you all for your prayers and wishes.

Love.

Sherry.

Hi Sherry,

hey kr..

sorry, i just checked on the net for shrimp during pregnancy and some websites said it is safe to eat shrimp, tuna, salmon up to a certain limit. don´ t overdo it though... sorry again for the wrong info in my previous msg to u

hugs,
babysos

Hi KR..

Just thought I should let you know that shrimp has high mercury content. I think you should avoid that because it can harm the baby. Ideally, all seafood should be avoided. If you can´ t stay without seafood, please do some research on fish/seafood without mercury content and then have only that throughout you pregnancy.

Love n luck,
Babysos

Hi Megs,

How are you doing? I have not yet joined the jan board as there´ s no one on the board. Hopefully I will start one myself soon .....so that whoever in jan due will join the board.

My daughter is loving and she´ s so happy to take care of me. Yea.....she keeps me busy except for the time she´ s at school. I keep myself busy those time my cleaning and preparing lunch & dinner. I have all the classic symptoms and feel so exhausted. I have been having severe cold & cough since the day I visited the gyn. It was so bad.......now am feeling little better by just tring the home remedies. Am so happy to hear about you not having any symtoms. That´ s a gift and enjoy it!

So Megs, I have some querries........the gyn I visited didn´ t suggest any particular prenatal vitamin. What shud i do? Can i call her ask if what my friend suggested is okay? I have not yet decided which Gyn I´ ll be going on regular basic. I just took the appointment with the one available in our insurance group to confirm the pregnancy and have the first check up to see if everything is alright. So am thinking of seleting a Gyn and changing my next appointment to her.

What do you suggest regarding prenatal vitamin? Shud we take them every single day the same exact time? And what kind of fish we have avoid. I like eating shrimp..is that okay? Looking forward to hear from you! Take care.

Love
KR

Hi Meghnah,

Thank you so much for your wishes! Yes, it is my second pregnancy and it seems like first. I really hope this pregnancy is wonderful journey for me and my family as my last pregnancy was very complicated both physically & mentally.

My daughter who´ s six and a half yeaers old is soooooooo excited. Actually she´ s the reason we decided to go for the second one. All these years.........I never thought I would go for second one. But we are really happy that we did decide atleast now.

I guess you are september due and this is your first baby. Hope you are enjoying your pregnancy. Keep in touch and am very to hear from you!

Lots of love

KR

Hey sherry,

Don' t worry about it. I was worried and couldn' t keep myself out of it........but I tried hard to keep myself engaged with something I like to do and it helped. I guess you are a working women .....so I guess you must be busy in day time.....so try to spend the other time by cooking your favourite food and do some art/craft work during weekend........or just watch some program you like or you know jsut go for a walk with your hubby and try to relax. I' m sure it will help. DO you feel any symptoms at all? Share with me and hope you get positive result too!

Love,
KR

Hi KR,

Hearty congratulations to you! We are happy for you.No symptoms as of now. I´ m a working woman and I´ m always busy both at work and home but as the days are nearing I´ m trying not to think about it :( Hope its gonna be positive this time. I will keep you informed. My due dates are May 6th or 7th.Let´ s wait and watch.Thank you for your prayers.Wish you a healthy pregnancy!

Please keep in touch KR and babysos. It feels good. Good luck to you as well babysos.

Love always,

Sherry.

Hey Sherry & babysos,

Good News! There' s a new member in our family! yes.....I' m pregnant and confirmed it today with the Gyn. I couldn' t believe myself. Thank you guys for all your support,love, care and prayers! You will have the same from me and am sure you both will soon get pregnant and blessed with wonderful babies. It' s a surprise to us and everyone too! Will keep in touch and please do keep in touch too. May be we could share a fake email id here and then exchange our real eamil id therafter and be in touch personally! let me know sherry & babysos!

Once again thank you and wishing you both good luck!

With tons of baby dust & love,
KR

Hi Sherry,

I´ m sorry to hear you are upset. But please cheer up. It is disappointing but we have to learn to pick ourselves up and move on. I just spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who´ s sister conceived after a year of trying. You have just started your journey and it´ s important not to get deflated so early. You have a chance to work on what you maybe doing wrong while TTC and that way improve your chances in conceiving. Remember not to get influenced by myths of TTC. Riding on a 2 wheeler does not reduce your chances of conception. And you must keep yourself busy and not stress. Yeah, try from 16th to 26th again and it will help. Also try Megs suggestion of BBT method. With time and patience, things will work out for sure. Remember, even I´ m TTC so we have to be strong together :-)

All the best!!!

Hugs,
Babysos

Hi guyz,

I got my periods yesterday :( I don´ t unserstand what´ s the problem! Infact the whole of last month I avoided tea,coffee, chicken and also egg! But I went out with my hubby on a 2 wheeler en number of times.Could this be the reason? I´ m upset, I also have personla problems so half the time I kept thinking about it.Its miserable. Since I got my chums on the 6th of the this month my ovulation perios starts from 16th to 26th right? Pease provide me with additional tips if any.I´ m disheartened :(

Lov you all.

Sherry.
