March 28th Due Date Buddies?

[meandmrb2011]

My belly is all fluttery as well, almost like the first movements but I'm sure it's just gas or something!! Still no symptoms, last pregnancy I was blessed not to have any nausea or morning sickness at all so hopefully this one will be the same

I keep forgetting I'm pregnant as well, because I'm running around after Isabelle all day it doesn't really feel like I'm having a baby - maybe I should convince hubby I need to put my feet up more

Aww i would love that. baby 1 so busy and worked with horses and looked after & rode my own until 36weeks. Baby 2 i was working with & riding my horse until 26weeks then i had some probs so went on bed rest at 28weeks but apart from that both pregnancies were fairly easy. THIS BABY !!!!! WOW......i have been ill a lot of the time since 4dpo !! Wondering if there is more than one setting up camp? Or whether this baby is just making his or her presence known!!!!

i have funny feeling in my tummy too, little twinges and pulling , hard to explain...backache im noticing more and more.
i keep forgetting too and remind myself b4 i do anything. i look after children for a living so have to remember to not to carry the big ones,make sure i protect my belly...and hate asking people to do more and they just think im lazy!! just want to know that everything is ok.

With my first 2 babies I didnt get a scan til I was 20 weeks.. I dont know if I really want one before then..

I really might contact some midwives (the closes ones I can find) and see if they take my ins and if home birth is something my ins can help pay for.. I am pretty sure this is going to be my last baby and do want to get my tubes tied after this one but I want to deliver at home i think because it is going to be my lasy baby.. Might think i am crazy but also concidering unassisted at home labor... I know I could do it, my other births were natural.. I have just always had midwives and this time they are so far away from here.. (I moved from where I was living when I had my other kids)

I LOVE the concept of home birth, especially water birth! But my insurance won't pay for it, and it will cover 100% of a hospital birth. Plus it makes me a little nervous to not have direct emergency medical attention in the event that something were wrong with me or the baby. I'm a worry wart

the flu is better today - bt still no MS just my tummy gets sore every now and then and sore boobs and backache aswell whicjh i just started to notice...

how are u ladies keeping up?

 

[baby_nurse]

Hi ladies, so exciting some of you are having u/s already and fingers crossed they are all going well.
Yesterday I was feeling a little worried as my boobs were a lot less tender and my m/s seemed to have gone ... cue lots of worried googling. I needn't have worried though as woke up this morning feeling like crap and have just had my head down the toilet bowl great! Sat here now with some crumpets at my side debating do I eat them or do I go vomit again!

It's weird how symptoms seem to come and go but from what I've been reading it seems normal. Hope everyone else is well and doing ok

PS just noticed as now I'm 6 weeks I've gone up a fruit! I'm not a sweet pea!

 

[little_lady]

Hooray for sweet peas!

I'm a childminder and have been worrying about how parents will react and how I claim maternity allowance. Anyone know?

Also phoned the doctors and made an appointment for Mon the 6th. I know its just going to be a load of waffle about washing my hands and taking vitamins, but on the other hand I need to go to get booked in with the midwife. Here we don't have scans until 12 weeks and you don't see a midwife until 9 to 10 weeks. So a long wait!

Last night had loads of cramps, really sharp, was getting worried but they've eased off today.

Anyone got a gender preference? I'd love a little boy but wouldn't mind another girl either, we're definitely finding out at 20 weeks though.

See my ins will only pay 80% after I meet a 400 deductable.. So I am in the process of trying to figure out which will be cheaper a 3000 home birth or the hospital bill... The 3000 is a flat rate for prenatel care and birth and after baby is born.. I am conflicted to say the least.. And have gotten nowhere on trying to figure out how much a natural vagional hospital birth will cost after insurance (no complications)....And I live 5 min from a hospital and have had 2 other children naturally, my baby girl weighed 10 lbs so I am pretty much fearless when it comes to birth...lol

i was having regular twinges and ligth cramps for a few days but not so much now. i had a sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen today but then went for a wee and seemed to be ok..tmi
having to be really careful at work as i look after children for a living too but in a nursery. have told my supervisor so that she understands if im having an off day and to make sure i dont do things i shouldnt be. she is also 27 weeks pregnant so it helps to talk to someone. im seeing my doc 2moro and hoping for an early scan in the next few weeks as i had a mc last december and just want to know everythings ok this time. i worry about everything. my boobd are not as sore as they were last week and the 2 weeks b4 that..i'll mention it to the doc 2moro.

yep i'm in Kent, uk. Have you thought about maternity leave yet? Last time I left at 36 weeks but I think this time I might work up to 40 and have either 6 or 9 weeks off afterwards. I only childmind 2 boys 3 days a week anyway so it's not that full on.
