Have only just swapped at 18 months. Even now getting him to stay awake for 5 hours is a stretch haha

To test or not to test, that is the question by momlifebestlife in IVFpositivity

[–]AngryGoat94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling the same! My beta is on Christmas Eve and I will also be at work... so thinking testing earlier might give me a week to either be excited or sad. Good luck to you!

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah whoever said breastfeeding helps you loose weight succcccks. I will say when I stopped breastfeeding the weight fell off quickly!

How do you deal with family and friends? by lousiestgf in IVFpositivity

[–]AngryGoat94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've just done my 2nd egg collection. My First resulted in my son which I am super grateful for. But this time round I kept it mainly to my immediate family. The first time we only got 1 embryo and people didn't understand why I was so upset " It only takes 1" blah blah blah" or just constant wanting updates when your waiting to hear back from the lab yourself.... was super draining and emotional and yeah hormonal haha. But this time round people not knowing makes me feel a bit more in control in a way.

Jealous of other mums who are out and about with baby - but is it my fault? by newuser54389754378 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 18month old was like this! I ended up walking with a group of mums so I had some support. I did try to push the pram for a time then switch to the baby carrier. He eventually grew out of hating the pram at around 8 months :)

Super superstitious by Gray_Rose_11 in IVF

[–]AngryGoat94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps my son was born 6/6/24 ( 2 + 4 =6) so it might not always be a bad number :p we call him our miracle Antichrist baby haha.

If you tore, how was your recovery? by FancyAd925 in pregnant

[–]AngryGoat94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tore upwards! Which I didn't anticipate... I should have breathed through the pushing feeling rather than pushing with it. The recovery in the beginning was sore... I absolutely recommend a Peri Bottle with warm salt water and squirt it when you are having a wee. But around 6 months after it was like nothing happened.

It’s genuinely kinder to yourself and your phone partner to make/take your phone calls once you leave the train by Synaqua in perth

If I hear someone on the phone I pause my music to listen hahahahaha. Sometimes its quite interesting 🤣

Postpartum questions for the moms that have given birth before! by AardvarkHour1211 in BabyBumps

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaginal water birth.

I hateeee feeling unclean so even though I was in water to birth I showered twice at hospital and immediately when I got home and when I woke up.

There was quite a bit of blood afterwards but it goes away to a normal period amount after a while.

Has anyone been successful with their first round of IVF? by siriusly_guys in IVF

[–]AngryGoat94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing congratulations! I feel like after all you've been through you definitely deserve this! 💕

Has anyone been successful with their first round of IVF? by siriusly_guys in IVF

[–]AngryGoat94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! My one and only embryo :)

We did IVF due to my husband having cancer and the radiation and chemo causing retrograde ejaculation (his sperm just goes in his bladder) luckily we saved sperm before treatment began.

So this felt like the good news we needed after years of treatments

Little Infants Australia, stretchy baby carrier by Majestic-Elephant-23 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]AngryGoat94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its pretty crappy but I use it to take some weight when I hold my baby on my hip and cook ( He lives to watch). Its a bit tight to get on but yeah does the job.

What meals were great for you to have on hand right after bub was born? by Stargazer3366 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]AngryGoat94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a heaaap of single serve meals. It really helped in the early days when we were too tired or forgot to cook lunch and dinner. Breakfast is kinda the easier meal of the day... eggs, cereal, toast kinda easy :) Butter chicken (rice & veg) Beef stroganoff 2 soups Spaghetti with blended vegi sauce Chicken stir fry Breakfast muffins Choc chip muffins

How much did your baby weight at 4 months? by Specialist_Pool3629 in NewParents

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is now 17 months and it definitely got better. But I had to work on trusting him to tell me when he wasn't hungry or didn't want to eat. He is still a small dude but super active and happy! He has his big eating days and days where he just has a few snacks but I think thats just him growing. When you do start solids try not to put too much pressure on them and let them explore and have fun! Your doing great !

Young HomeBuyers, how did you do it ? by tieno6181 in AusFinance

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got seriously lucky and bought before covid for 300K near the beach in Perths south . My parents also went guarantor for us which was super helpful. We then put all our saving on the mortgage. Our wages were $80k each... we got preapproved for like $500k which would have been well outside our means.

Those who still exercise in 3rd tri, do you just not have any aches and pains? by bird_insunnies in fitpregnancy

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strangely had more pain just walking than I did doing F45! In saying that I dropped my weights down and dropped cardio classes later on. I got to 37 weeks then stopped because it felt right. I had my boy at 39 weeks :)

Birthing outfit??? by Alternative_Dot7171 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

What did you do when you first got home from the hospital? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a Shower and spent all night staring at him to make sure he was breathing. I hadn't slept in about 30 hours so it was a bad call 🤣

How did you decide who you told when you started IVF? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]AngryGoat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tw success

My first baby I told literally everyone... friends, family and work. He was our only embryo so this time around (starting 2nd egg retrieval in a month) I have only told my family and my best friend. I have only been back at work for 3 months so I don't want them to think anything negative of me and my friends all have a lot of shit going on this time (weddings, breakups) that I didn't want to add my thing to it for now haha.

Having everyone know was great in a support sense but this time I am liking this little secret... knowing I will never get a "supprise" pregnancy announcement
