March 2013 babies

[Andaz]

Hiya, I am new to the forum and have a EDD of 6th March 2013. This one was a bit of a surprise as I have fibroids and PCOS plus my OH has issues which "should" affect his fertility but it still happened so I guess it was meant to be I am totally knackered and emotional but happy

I hope today goes by really fast; feels like i've been waiting forever for my first Dr.s appt!

I've just booked a private scan for next Thursday and also got my booking in appointment with the midwife on the same day, can't wait sooo excited! OH is taking the day off work so he can come too!

I finally met my doctor today and had my first successful scan!! I'm 9 weeks today and the heartbeat was 160bpm!!
My nausea has been lightening up and it feels like a weight has been lifted.
Still dizzy and tired but I can live with that for a few more weeks.
I hope everyone's going well and welcome to all the new ladies xx

There is a blood test that is done in conjunction with the NT scan, but that is different than the new one.

Ah, I see! Well, it's booked... So hopefully all goes well! If anything is wrong with the baby I am still keeping it, so I guess it's just to prepare you, so the shock is not as bad later? Anyway, hopefully I won't have to worry about that.

Yeah, I just figure the earlier you know the longer you have to prepare yourself. I go in for the test in two weeks.

Hello ladies,

I want to join you too. My current dde is on the 15th of March. This would be my second one, as my daughter is now two and a half years old.

We just moved to Finland from England three weeks ago, and the change has been a bit hard on me and my daughter. I think i'm starting to feel prenatal depression. But keeping the hope to get better soon.

All the best too all of us!

Hi Eliserea123 - I am also SO tired and can't find much to do about it... It comes and goes though (well, always tired, but some days are better than others).

As for feeling sick, I've been forcing myself to eat in the morning (just a tiny bit) and it helps a little. A lot of people swear by the classic crackers and ginger ale. I think the trick is to not let your stomach stay empty. I know it's easier said than done when you don't want to eat anything, but eating something small may help. Other than that, I've just been waiting it out!

I also have low blood pressure and get dizzy quite often!

I just typed in early pregnancy scan and my town on Google and it came up with lots of different options. Most of them are around £100 but mine is about £50 as they had a special deal and they will only scan from 9 weeks, and it's a very short scan (15 mins). The only reason I want to go is to check LO has a heart beat and put my mind at rest until my NHS scan.
