March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[Kte]

My daughter was awkward, I was tilted, sent off for a walk and to eat choc! Took two scans for her anatomy scan but ended up team yellow.

Yesterday we chose team yellow but there was no way we would of found out even if we hadn't! Ended up being tilted again and sent for a walk. Managed all the measurements finally so no second visit this time. Lo is fine and a little contortionist with their legs bending right round to touch their head!

I have no nursery for this lo, were only in a 2 bedroom house. Slight panic today when putting My daughters clothes away - where will I fit stuff for baby?!?

It's her 3rd birthday tomorrow. Can't believe she will be 3 already!

Glad the scan went well kte

I have had such awful heartburn the last few days, tonight has been the worst by far I've just laid down to go to bed and it's so bad I had to sit up or I thought I might throw up. Think it will be off to the chemist for some gaviscon tomorrow, I don't know how I will sleep tonight!

 

[baby_maybe]

Oh gosh rose that's bad, I had it in my 3rd pregnancy I think and I got DH to prop up the head end of the bed and slept propped up by pillows for the last few weeks of being pregnant or like you I would feel awful.

Anna - that made me giggle, defo a boy thing! Having said I'd not seen him from the outside yet, not 10 minutes after I typed that the little wotsit decided to prove me wrong again and gave me such a hard boot that I did see my belly pop out briefly This feels like a sign of things to come having a boy

I haven't sorted the nursery yet either, at the moment it's my oldest dd's bedroom so we're making plans to move her into the playroom downstairs so we can get the small room set back up for a baby. We have some ideas about how the room will look, but until all of her stuff is out its a little hard to get a good look at it! We've just had to order a couple more sky boxes to keep the girls happy, as they have sky in the playroom and this will become oldest ones room so the sky will stay in there for her. The two smallest will have a box in their room with a new slightly bigger tv than the one which is in there at the moment. They're not happy at having the playroom taken away as its always been a playroom since we moved here so getting used to having their toys back in the bedrooms will take a while. Oldest one is not impressed at having her room swapped, but given that we don't have any more rooms upstairs we don't really have a choice unless we move and I'm not ready to that just yet!

rose - heartburn is the worse i suffered terribly with that in my last pregnancy and nothing helped. I have had it a couple of times this pregnancy to the point where it actually made me sick the other night.

AFM - quick question about BH - waslaying in bed last night after little man had been kicking away for ages when my tummy went all tight (felt like i was breathing in as hard as i could although i wasnt) and it lasted for about 1.5-2 mins then went and i was just left with tummy ache. does this sound like bh's to you guys?? its been happening the last few days but wasnt painful until last night. Didnt get any BH with my last baby.

 

[rose.]

Luckily I managed to prop up with pillows and it went! Teaches me for eating spicy enchiladas before bed!

Anna, sorry I don't have any advice as I've not had any BH yet. I'm sure everythings fine though

I suffer from HB all the time at the moment doesn't seem to matter what I eat or drink. I seem to find Gaviscon washed down with a glass of milk seems to help it.

Aww i can't wait to start feeling my baby move. Some girls in the April thread have started to feel there baby already but ive not i think its due to me being over weight so i hope to feel baby soon .

Dont like the sound of heartburn either lol think i better get med's in just incase xx

 

[baby_maybe]

Anna sounds like a BH to me, I get them every day now and sometimes they leave me with a bit of a sore lower tummy and other times they go really quickly and are not sore at all. The thing you need to watch for is them becoming regular and increasingly painful as that is a sign of prem labour. If that happens you need to go straight to triage. If you're only getting one or two a day then you don't need to worry about them.

I've never had BH with my last pregnancy but I feel like with the way things are going with this pregnancy that I will get them.. My last pregnancy I had heartburn ONCE now this time I've had it 4 times so far.

Cherry- I didn't feel mine too much at 17 weeks.. The odd bubble that's it.. Even now due to the position of the baby I'm not getting proper kicks.. I get them mostly still down in my lower stomach because of the way my lo is sitting.. It will probably be a bit still until I get proper ones

Thanks i thought it probably was BH i am at risk of pre-term labour so will keep an eye on them. x

Any one have any ideas for fb announcements?? I was going to post a scan pic and leave it at that, but that did not work too well for me.. So now I have to do something creative. I normally don't post personal stuff on fb but with a lot of my family being so far away I haven't even told them yet!! Plus with all my past issues the family that does know won't announce it for me lol

Here are my ideas :

To all of you that said I can't cook, I'm proving you wrong! Bun is in the oven and the timer is set for March 16.

My super power is creating humans .. What's yours?

My oh is expecting a baby.. And I'm pretty sure it's mine!!

 

[MissPiggy]

i like the first one =) mainly cause i cant cook lol! xx

 

[baby_maybe]

Anna - I'm at risk for preterm labour too, that's the only reason I know so much about the difference between BH and 'real' contractions lol!!

Skeet - I just did the scan photo with a comment, but I like the one you've put about superpowers, that's cool

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Skeet, those are all cute! I like the first one best, I think.

Anna, Baby_maybe pretty much summed it up re the braxton hicks. As long as they are random it is no worry. I actually went to triage last time, I think around 28ish weeks because I was having TONS of BH, like every 3-4 minutes, but it turned out I was just a little dehydrated (living in the desert in the summer with do that to you...).

I have no idea what real contractions feel like as didnt get any contractions with my 1st - my waters broke and i ended up needing an EMCS before labour started :s

I love the baking one that's really cool!

They are very similar to BH, only they last longer, get painful and come at very regular intervals
