March 2013 babies

[sharnw]

I think I have been tired, I went to sleep yesterday afternoon and slept for 3 hours... DH said I was sleeping with my mouth open

Ladies, I found light pink in my cm this morning

 

[LVnMommy]

dang you curlie lol!!!! that makes my impatientness soar lol is that a word??? well i just made it, well at least when i got at 10-12 weeks there will be a actaul looking baby to see

 

[wantabump1]

I am 5w3d...How is it possible that I weigh the same as I did last month but I look like I ate the entire contents of the kitchen?!?! I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror....I know it is all bloat, since the baby is the size of an Appleseed. I'd be okay if it was a bump due to the baby, but this bloat is gross!

Anyone else? Anyone know a way to undo the bloat? At this rate, I'm not going to be able to button my shorts next week! Uhhhhhh.....I feel fat and disgusting.

 

[FoxMommy]

I'm also SO bloated (about 6 weeks now) and tmi but having bm so often/so gassy. I feel gross! I did not experience ths with dd.

 

[wanting2010]

I had my first u/s today and it was perfect! Baby is measuring 6+2 and we saw a perfect little fluttering heartbeat! So thrilled, and it's a huge relief!

 

[starlight2801]

That's great news wanting2010

Yes ladies, first trimester bloat is a nightmare. When I was pregnant with DD I had to start wearing maternity jeans at 8 weeks because of it, although I looked fat rather than preggo

I'm feeling bloated again now and because my tummy muscles aren't what they used to be I think I already look 6 months :doh:

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Hi ladies! Congrats to you all! Mind if I join in? I am due the 13th with #2.

 

[bkay77]

Sharnw - Stay strong. Lots of people spot in the first trimester, it may be nothing

Wantabump1 - ME TOO!!!! I am totally bloated and gross. I could easily wear maternity pants right now. I dont remember blowing up like this with my other babies. Hopefully it subsides soon. yuck I hear its because its my third, something about my abs not having any strength to hold the bloat back

Wanting2010- CONGRATS!! That is such great news!!! I have my first ultrasound on Thursday, Im soo nervous!

Welcome all the new March babies!

 

[LVnMommy]

Hi Ladies,

well i guess i belong to this club Found out I was pregnant saturday ( 2 tests that day and one on sunday). Have my doc appointment on tuesday, so waiting for confirmation. but sure looks like I'm preggers.

On the sunday i took the clear blue with the indicator - it read pregnant, 3+ weeks, which according to their chart the doc might date my pregnancy over 5 weeks. So we'll see what she says. All the pregnancy due date calcator date baby for mar 7 or 9. So i'm about 4-5 weeks

Symptoms: really tired & exhausted, bloated, some period like cramps, peeing A LOT, sensitive boobies, kinda gassy (blush) and major mood swings. I'm crying over everything

its hard to wrap my head around it. when i saw the first test, i had no idea how to feel. I've wanted a baby for awhile, but we were holding off for the "right time". we had thought about trying last september, but I decided to back to school and my workplace was a little uncertain. But i never went back on birth control, so I had been off it for maybe a year. so even tho we knew there was a chance, it was not planned. this was a suprise.

well so not planned. which i feel bad about. because i didn't know ( i had no idea, altho thinking back the signs were obvious now) i was pregnant, so i wasn't taking care of myself and the little one. I guess i just feel guilt over it and hope that i didn;'t screw up.

I'm kinda scared just because i don't know what the future will hold. I'm scared because of all the sad losses that have happened to others and family and friends close to me. I only want the best for my baby. I could be just over sensitive right now cause of the hormones, but im just worried. and maybe thats why im sort of trying to not get attached, but i cant help it. I am excited too to know that I'll have this life grow within me.

Sorry for my long rant, i think i just have a bunch of different emotionbs running through me - fear, happiness, overwhelmed, excitement, plus all wrapped up in hormones.

thanks for putting up with me

hi congrats on you BFP
i think everything your feeling is completely normal hun. im terrified something is going to happen but have decided to think positive and what will be will be - stressing over the next 6/7 weeks wont stop anything happening so might as well enjoy being pregnant and if something happens it happens. the pregnancy doesnt seem real to me yet am hoping it will once i see my little bean on my scan on the 21st
x

Thanks! I appreciate your support and understanding. It makes me feel normal for my reaction. I agree I'll just keep postive and go with the flow
The 21st, thas exciting! True enough, once you can see your little bean, it'll become that much more realy. best of luck!

Congrats on your BFP! And dont worry. My first 2 were not "planned" either. My first we were not preventing, but it had been a year. I wasnt expecting anything. With my second, i had only stopped nursing a few months prior, and only had one cycle in 4 months since weaning. That pregnancy was a HUGE shock. I had been at a wedding the week before (my mom had the baby for the weekend), and was drunk as a skunk. It was the first time I had been away from the baby longer than an hour, so we kinda went crazy. 6 days later I got my BFP.

With both of them, those weeks before I tested positive, I would drink wine and was not eating the best. Before my first I was still smoking cigarettes up until the minute I took that first test. They are both as healthy as can be now. You are still super early. As long as you are taking care of yourself now and taking your prenatal, I wouldnt worry about it.

I understand about the not getting attached though. I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks 5 years ago due to low progesterone, I was heartbroken, so now I tend to not get too attached until the 2nd trimester. Im always scared like crazy with my pregnancies. We can all be here together, and help each other through [/QUOTE]

Thanks for your reply! It was actually really comforting to read and made feel comfortable. so true, that you don't always plan. thats crazy about your second, what were teh chance of that. I guess when all the stars are aligned...boom a baby! Thanks for showing me that I'm still in the ok place for taking care of myself. I started my prenatels and have been tryign to get better about food. Like you said soemtimes you just don't know. Thats great your little ones are healthy and good

You're right, we can all be here togther and help each other out. Thanks again for your support and best of luck to you too!

My DH said um you know thats not baby! jk

Haha, then what's my excuse? This is my first! Weak ab muscles? Argh

I am right there with you! And my core muscles are far from strong so maybe that is it? I have no idea but I had never expected to be this bloated/big right away. I can still fit into my regular clothes, just not very comfortably, so DH and I went and got a few maternity pants over the weekend. The ladies in the shop were super helpful in helping me find something that HOPEFULLY will work the entire pregnancy.

I have also gone up a cup size in bras... had to get a new one today. Was trying to put it off but the top edge of the bra was leaving red marks on my breast tissue (like where it lays across you gently NOT at the band or wire or anything!)

My DH says all these changes are barely noticeable but I think he might just be being nice! My Mom *she lives far away so hasn't seen me but talks to me on the phone* says that the Mommy notices the changes in her body far before anyone else does.

I can also relate to the bathroom/gas issues... although for me it seems to be alternating between diarrhea and constipation.

The things they don't tell you about pregnancy!

 

[sharnw]

I am loving the pear juice at the moment, helps me with the constipation thats for sure

 

[iprettii]

I had a rough day today, NO energy and nausea. But after I had some ginger tea I felt better.. By the way I HATEEEEE ANYTHING GINGER except for ginger ale lol.

 

[jewelstar]

Hi everyone!! Can I join?? I estimate that I'm due March 19th-- I'm not due for my first Ob appointment until Aug 11. Feeling fine so far! Just a little pulling/tugging/mild cramping.
This is baby #2 and pregnancy #2.

 

[sharnw]

jewelstar I'm also due on the 19th of March
this is my 1st, very nervous, from a 11 week missed-miscarriage nearly 3 years ago...
I am getting some light pulling, fluttering and on and off light cramps

 

[iprettii]

welcome ladies!

 

[heaveneats]

I had my first u/s today and it was perfect! Baby is measuring 6+2 and we saw a perfect little fluttering heartbeat! So thrilled, and it's a huge relief!

did you see it and hear it? i wasnt sure if you could hear it so early but i'd love to!
