March 2013 babies

[trying2becalm]

I'm a lime today yippee!

Got my scan tomorrow morning at 920. I'm so nervous but also looking forward to it at the same time. Just hope baby's grown as he should since my last scan and still has a good strong heartbeat. I was sick again this morning which was reassuring at least! I think once I've seen this scan and the measurements have been taken I should feel a lot more relaxed (hopefully!!)

Good luck with your scan! Hope baby is wriggly and active

Hi everyone.

I was sick again this morning (think I sneezed and it happened like a few weeks ago!). Luckily I was still at home and hadn't left for work yet!

I've been off work for nearly a week on a little holiday and enjoyed having naps each day! I'm struggling a bit this afternoon. Want to put my head down and nap for a little bit.

I had a letter waiting for me at home yesterday. I apparently have unusual haemoglobin. I am a carrier for beta thalassaemia trait. Being a carrier in itself isn't a problem for me. It won't make me ill or cause me any damage. It will only possibly become a problem for my baby if my husband is also a carrier. We have to go to the antenatal clinic next week for him to have a blood test. If he is a carrier there is a 1 in 4 chance that our baby will have a blood disorder. We are hoping that he isn't a carrier (his family isn't from anywhere on the list of common areas around the world) but if he is we'll deal with whatever is thrown at us.

I might also be cheeky at the appointment and ask if she'll have a listen to the heartbeat!

Hope it all turns out ok.

Does anyone have a sonoline B doppler? Can't seem to pick up the hb with mine, hoping it's just cause I'm chubby. I see the dr tomorrow thankfully.

Curlie, I'm still extremely tired. I had no ms but the last 2 weeks if I don't eat every 3 hours I start to feel icky. No bump here either, not showing at all and I've lost about 3 pounds.

I have a sonoline b and I love it. Such a good purchase. I have used mine 4 times and each time it takes me awhile to find the hb. Today baby kept moving to I was having a hard time keeping it. U may want to try using when you have a fuller bladder, or try it lying down with a towel or something under your lower back. Good luck!

I can't remember if I posted here or not. But my due date (right now) is 20th March. Which is about where I thought it was. So I be 11 weeks today!

Of course, reading this thread is making me freaking terrified, as I;m gathering this is the week where most people lose the babies.

Well congrats!! Actually, most are lost much earlier, 6 to 8 weeks. It's so sad to think about I know. I worry constantly but everyone assures me I shouldn't, that I'm past the toughest part.

Welcom hssbmom!!

Had my 12 week checkup today and NT testing. All looks well thankfully. They took 5 tubes of blood to do some other testing that I was missing. I told my team at work yesterday, all but one person was happy. Now to make it through the next 6 months!

Okay, that gets rid of the sort of fear. Now just need to get to twenty-odd weeks then start worrying about having a preemie! And thankya

I got my first blood done yesterday, and as I expected, felt like crap the rest of the day. But I still feel like utter crap today. Have stuffed myself something stupid with sugars - both natural and from sweets, and generally made sure I didn't do anything to make me pass out. But I've felt like crap all day anyway. That normal?

I'm questioning everything & panicking about everything, but I also did find out about the munchkin less than a week after my grandmother died, and she was ill for a long time. So I'm not sure if it's ill or just become force of habit :/

Can't believe I am already in my fourth month!! Is anyone else amazed at how far they are already?

 

[rose.]

It is going really quickly - cant believe we are nearly in second tri
I am soo nervous I feel sick, hardly slept last night even though I went to bed at 930. Just praying that everything goes ok with the scan, I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't.

Anna, I'll keep an eye out on the 2nd tri for your post. I'll post on it so I don't lose track of it!

Heres our new thread for all those coming into the 2nd tri now

Scan went so well, saw baby bouncing up and down and waving his arms, measuring a week ahead at exactly 12 weeks so I'm going to change my tickers later so happy! Now due on 13th march. The scan lady said my baby is stubborn and spends most of his time sitting up and not lying down, he wouldn't move so she could take the nuchal measurements no matter how much I bounced or walked around, so got to have blood tests at 16 weeks for downs screening instead. I am so happy
