Hi all March mum's how is everyone getting on? I've posted this in 3rd tri too as well. Hmm just been thinking and i was wondering what to bring LO home in from the hosptial, (it may be a bit early for this question?) so thought i'd ask here and see what outfits you all have, if you have decided yet.

Also after looking at what clothes i've got, my 0-3 stuff is mainly rompers and vest, got a few pairs of jeans and some tops, what's everyone else got? I was thinking of getting some zip tops and cardys for him for when we go out, or should i just buy a coat? what does everyone think?

As you can probably tell this is my first and just want to make sure i've got enought but without going OTT xx

 

[Emskins]

I have my follow up growth scan tomorrow morning, hoping that LO has had a growth spurt and that everything is OK after measuring small 2 weeks ago, trying to focus my mind elsewhere today so I don't drive myself crazy with worry.

We are going to a friends today to collect the travel system we are buying off them and some other bits they are giving us like clothes and toys.

Hope you all have a good Sunday!

Hi all, well I'm a bit behind I only managed to buy some baby clothes yesterday.. but I just got a few sleepsuits and bodysuits, but I haven't really got any clothes as such cause I'm on team yellow and so it's a bit hard to get generic clothes.

JJ - I reckon we'll be brining the baby home in a plain sleepsuit and take a few cellular blankets but I'm a total novice so I'm not sure! Plus my mum knitted me a really sweet white cardigan. But I wouldn't have thought a coat would be necessary or comfortable when they're so little? Again, I pretty much know bugger all about this, sorry!

Emskins I'm sure everything will be fine and good luck with the scan - try not to worry too much I have no idea how big my baby is because I don't have any growth scans. Do I presume that if my uterus is measruring spot on that the baby is too? A lot of people seem to be having growth scans but I had my 20wk scan, everything was measuring average so that was that - I don't know how I would even know if there was a size problem at this stage.

Hope the travel system worked out OK, we've got a pre-loved pram as well!

No i wasn't sure about a coat but then have seen some so just wasn't sure (only meant a coat though for when he's a couple of months or so not newborn).
Like you totally new to this and not really sure what i need. Going to go for a sleepsuit too with a nice blanket i think for bringing him home x

Growth scan done at 34+1 and the babys abdo circumfrence and femur length was measuring 34+2 which is basically perfect. Makes me happy he wont be massive and he will probably fit in the regular size clothes i got. lol BUT... the BPD measured at 38+1!! And whats worse his head circumfrence measured at a whopping 38+5!!!!!! I cannot beleive he has a full grown head at 34 weeks! i hope the growth on his head slows while the rest keeps growing. I said, it is no wonder i am up so much having to pee, i got a boulder on my bladder. The estimated weight was a bit high as well... 5lbs 14oz... but i have heard so many cases that the estimated weight is way off so i am not taking it too seriously. It is the measurements that are the accurate ones. Overall the scan went quite quick and the pic we got is cute but kinda crappy because she snapped it so quick. I was hoping to find out a lot more info but couldnt remember it all at the time. I hate rushed scans But I was glad to see bubs again. He has the sweetest little button nose

Yep we got told 5lb 3oz last week at 33 weeks which is apparently mid to high, wouldnt worry about it hun, they are only estimates and can be WAY off like you said. Know what you mean about the button nose, arent they adorable! xx

 

[blondeNklutzi]

Sigh, wish I could have a growth scan to get a weight for my LO! The only thing the dr. has told me is that my FH is three weeks ahead, lol.

 

[Kel127]

I don't get a growth scan either. I would love to know est weight and such!My FH is always right on I measured 34 at my 34 week appointment.
I had my baby shower last weekend and got alot of great stuff, so now his room is almost ready. We even finally decided on a name!
Now we just need to wait for our little man!

 

[JessiHD]

I wish they hadn't told me, now worried about giving birth to a huge baby!!!

I agree time is flying by!! i'm 34 weeks today and also nervous and excited. Got scan on Friday to see if my placenta has moved so looking forward to that and seeing LO again. There also checking growth as my fundal height has been slightly behind but my midwives have commented they can feel him and he feels long so not too worried.

Have you packed your bag yet? I keep meaning too and then not doing it, suppose i really should think about getting it done.

Hope everyone is feeling okay.

to all March mummies as we're nearly there xx

I'm getting a growth scan at my 36 week appointment. They also want to try and see what position my little man is in. I forgot to ask yesterday what my fundal height was measuring at my 34 week appointment, but I know I have a tiny bump. I figure between that and the fact my boy is in a tight little ball and they aren't sure exactly where his head is (other than down) I get the extra scan.
I haven't packed a bag yet. I'm not too worried about that as there are a lot more important things we need to do and haven't bothered with yet.

 

[Kel127]

I had my 36 week check-up today. The baby is head down, but not engaged yet. My cervix is still closed.
I haven't pack my bag yet either. Think I will try to do that this weekend.

 

[JessiHD]

Started my antenatal classes with Parentcraft today and it was absolutely fab! I'm going to be a mummy next month, wooooooopppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[MiissMuffet]

I have my scan in 1 week to check for placenta position, but apparently they check the measurements etc too. Well they better!! x
