Cramps
Cramps. Craaaammmpppsssss. Waahhh.
From hopeful TTC, through infertility, IVF and the resulting pregnancy, this became a journal through grief and trying again after the loss of our first son, Devin, at 36 weeks. After multiple more IVF cycles we got pregnant with our second child, a little girl born healthy and alive in May of 2010. Our third child, a most unexpected surprise baby girl, was just born in June 2012!
doh, i’m worried for my AF returns. This wednesday I have my 6 week post-partum checkup and get birth control prescribed. If I can make it until January, I will not have had a period at all this year. However, I’m so nervous for when it does come back…I used to have it only for 4 days, but I’m afraid it will be totally different now. Uggg…I anticipate your pain :-?
Midol. ;) I’m sorry you’ll be getting it so soon now. :( Usually breastfeeding keeps it away… but it just didn’t work out for you.
PS, I think cramps aren’t nearly as bad as going into labor!! (I am FREAKED out by that thought)
And see, Meghann… I read in a few different places that a side effect of pregnancy can be that your cramps never come back. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! :grin:
oh wow! that would be awesome, Kel! One of my friends from work who had her baby 2 weeks before me said hers came back after 5 weeks! :shock: She is breastfeeding so she was very surprised. I have a feeling that once I start the birth control again that I will have it sooner than I want. At least with bc I can have a better idea of when it will come..and maybe plan to stay home!
