Pretty sure we'll be sticking with just the one.
Spoke to the doctor about OH getting a vesctomy but he convinced us to wait a little while & to try using the coil as it works for 5 years, if after that we're still sure about the vesctomy then we can go ahead so that's what we'll be doing ;-)

Mink

Well the pill is best contraception for me - it also calms my skin down big time (I look like a teenager at the moment). But I doubt I'll be able to go on it til after I stop breastfeeding. So will probably use good ol johnnies til then (both of us hate them so I'm not too pleased about that)

You could get fitted for a diaphragm, it's what I used to use and I really liked it. Once used correctly it's more effective than condoms and it feels a lot better. I don't know why they aren't more popular.

I went back on the pill after I had N! I had used it for years & it worked but this time it didn't take! I wanna try the coil but the thoughts of it kinda freaks me out!

cyning

I don't know what I'm going to do after: I've been on pill, injection and patch previously: patch lasted a whole two months I was so sick on it! None of them really suit: so I'm very very slow to go down the line of anything hormonal.

I can tell you one thing: I will not be getting pregnant again anytime soon: hyperemesis reoccours in pregnancy after pregnancy and I could not cope either physically (or emotionally for that matter) with a baby and being pregnant! Which is hard in one sense because we both wanted to have our kids close in age: now we don't even know if we want a second one... well we do but just don't know if we will.

I know what ya mean Cyning, a rough pregnancy always makes ya say never again but I promise you the minute you see that little baby it'll all be worth every ache, pain & heartache! Don't rush into anything you may regret it in the future x
I had a terrible pregnancy on N & a horrid delivery but although I said no way will I ever again, after a few weeks I knew we'd have more

Hope everyone is well

I got my blood results today & my levels have over doubled so everything is looking really good another scan in a week!

Betsie_xr3i

delighted your doing so well, there s nothing like seeing. your little bean grow

cyning

Tigeress that's brilliant news.... bet you can't wait for your scan next week

I'm really, really hoping I feel differently after baba gets here: but I don't know after 5 trips to hospital in the last 32 weeks and spending nearly a month in hospital and vomiting up to 20 times a day: I couldn't mind a baby like that. So it will have to wait I think I know it'll be worth it once she gets here though!

Yeah I'm getting excited now
Seeing your baba for the 1st time is honestly the best the feeling in the world, you'll never experience anything as good (unless ya have another one that is hehe) you haven't too long left now.. I found the last 10 weeks flew! I hope you're feeling better now! Will the bring you in early because of your condition?

cyning

It's better now then it was... Way way way better!!! I only really get sick 3 or 4 times a day now depending... It's constant nausea though.

The hyperemesis won't affect me going early but have thyroid problems that might... I should know more at my next appt in a fortnight... Plus side is I get scanned all the time so I see babs frequently

Not pregnant (:() but I do read this forum to see how the old ttc'ers are getting on. Cyning, you have had an unbelievably hard time...just shows its not plain sailing for everyone. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly

Nope it's not, but I know it could be worse: it can just be hard to remember that sometimes: especially considering I haven't been allowed to work since I was just 5 weeks pregnant, so I'm at home all the time :rolleyes:

Your time will come too

Holy crap! That's so cool, especially since I had read the entire TTC thread when I was TTC and got TONS of good info from her.

Where's the post? Did she post it or someone else announce it for her?

Tigeress

Yey huge Congrats Neyite! Hope Mammy & Baby are well xxx

Congrats Neyite!!!

I seen it in her facebook, omg he's a little dote! cute enough to make me broody again

Ms2011

Congrats Neyite, can't wait to hear your birth story :-)

Tigeress

Well hello again all day sickness & tiredness please go away soon!

Neyite

Hi all,

I can indeed confirm that I had a baby boy, born Sunday afternoon, a day after my due date, weighing in at 7lb4oz.

It turned out to be an emergency C-section, as my waters broke and there was meconium in it, and I was only 1cm for 5 hrs with no further progress. It was in baby's best interests to have the C-section, and I'm happy with that.

We got home today, and I am in awe. Cannot stop staring at this little bundle of perfection that we made!!

caprilicious

Congratulations Neyite! I was all teary eyed looking at the pic of you & him in hospital. He's absolutely gorgeous!!!!
You look fantastic too, and your family look besotted with him

I hope you're recovering well from the section

Big big Congrats Neyite!!

I'm disappointed Neyite. I thought you were going to give do a labour and post birth thread too. You should have been posting away throughout the section. Now the experiment is resting solely on my shoulders.

Congrats on your son!:D
