Forum Baby wish

I'm new here (and we're going for our third baby)

Hi everyone,

I've been reading on this forum all day and it seems like a really nice community.

I'm Nynke, 27 years old, and mom to two beautiful sons. Milan is 3 years and 9 months old, and Samuel is 8 months old. Both were born via C-section, and the next one will be too.

Since I was 16, I've had the hardest time with contraception. I'd forget the pill, so the GP prescribed me a heavy pill, but that made me nauseous again. I find condoms disgusting because you have to remember to grab one at the right moment. My husband didn't really like the NuvaRing. An IUD seems terrifying to me, and I'm absolutely terrified of needles—if I have to get a shot, I get panic attacks. The contraceptive implant was also advised against by the GP if I ever want another child.

I've always said I wanted a big family. I come from a family of seven and have always said I wanted eight. Now I say eight is a bit excessive, but four or five would be nice.

So I'm letting nature take its course and hoping to welcome our third child soon. I'm acting like I'm patiently waiting, but I'm actually very much focused on it. I'd absolutely love to be pregnant again.

I hope to chat, ask questions, and exchange experiences with other expectant mothers and parents here.

Best, Nynke

    Hi Ju,

    I'm not pregnant yet, I just had my period so we're in round two and yes, we're secretly hoping for a girl but a boy is of course just as welcome. I do like that you can see here how often your topic is read.
    I'm already having fun here so far, I find it really nice! I'll go ahead and sign up I guess

    Greetings Nynke

    Welcome Nynke,

    I'm also still pretty new to this forum.
    So far, I've had nice and warm responses.

    And I'm still figuring things out myself etc.
    Because not every forum has the same user manual

    Greetings IvyB

    Hey Nynke,

    I'm feeling good..
    No trouble with pregnancy ailments.
    I'm just really tired or constantly tired..
    and heartburn that sometimes pops up at the wrong moments.
    *looking for a piece of wood to knock on that this is all there is to it*

    I have my first ultrasound next Tuesday.
    I'm not sure what to expect yet.
    But well, the day will come when I'll find out

    Indeed, we can keep each other somewhat in the dark hahah..

    Hi Nynke,
    What a cozy time you have there with those little rascals! It's great that the young ones are having fun, even if they're busy or not. Everything's good here, but it's super busy with hanging curtains, clearing debris, cooking, eating, and hanging laundry. I'm going to take it easy for a bit now because I don't want to deal with hard contractions, which would be the result of all this activity.

    But it has to be done.
    Well, girl, it's nice that you're enjoying the chats and questions and sharing stories. You always get an answer here, though we can't always respond right away because there's still sooooo much to do, and we want everything ready for November...

    Love, Ju

    Hi ladies,

    I went to my friend's yesterday, her little boy was baptized. Unfortunately, I was a bit late, I overslept but still made it in time for the party. Her son is three weeks younger than Samuel. We met on another pregnancy forum. It was really fun, we helped clear up some of the mess from the party together.

    Yeah, it's really nice with my three boys, unfortunately my husband is only around on weekends. It is indeed quite busy but very nice. I still have enough time for my own things. It's nice that you're having a November baby, mine are both November babies too.

    Can you find IvyB and another piece of wood? How tense is your first ultrasound? Is that tomorrow or next week? I always found my first ultrasounds quite nerve-wracking, but afterwards I thought they were really beautiful. I'm very curious how you'll experience your first ultrasound.

    Greetings, Nynke

    Hey Nynke,

    Didn't find any wood unfortunately...
    Had such a rough night last night.
    I just fell asleep and woke up from the itching on my breasts.
    As soon as that passed, I woke up again from heartburn.
    My boyfriend woke me up because I was sleeping sitting straight up in bed.
    Like I wanted to step out of bed right then, that's how I was sitting.

    Next Tuesday we have the ultrasound.
    I find it really exciting but it still feels a bit unreal so far.

    Hi IvyB,

    Oh, how exciting! One more week and then it'll feel real. You'll have a nice little photo to look at. And after that, the weeks will fly by. When are you guys going to tell the family, or have you already done that?

    I told them right away. I tried to keep it a secret from Samuel. I managed that for one week, and actually, I almost let the cat out of the bag a few times.

    I also had terrible heartburn. With Milan, I drank over two liters of milk a day, and with Samuel, I ate Rennie's like they were candy. Especially at night, I'd press one against my palate and then I'd fall asleep. That thing would slowly release some stuff and keep my stomach calm. It's not great for your teeth, but I slept so well.

    I'm off to sleep now, haha.

    Best, Nynke

    Hi IvyB,
    how was your first ultrasound?

    And is the heartburn getting any better?

    Greetings, Nynke
