March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

[ktswissdom]

hello ladies,
i am new here and hope to share the journey with you all!
I got my first BFP on July 15 with a FRER like test. got another on the 21st clearblue digi which said 2-3 weeks. I am 37 and this is my first pregnancy. I am hypothyroid but take meds and we got pregnant on our first try so i am trying to think that is a good sign, since being hypo can make it harder to conceive. but i am still nervous. My husband told everyone already, he is so excited.
I think my due date is the 26th, but i haven't been to the doctor yet (she only wanted to see me 2nd week of Aug) and i have been having cramping, metal mouth (mostly constant but especially after eating), sleep disturbances (waking up to pee and then not being able to sleep again) and sore sore breasts! the cramping worries me a bit but there is no blood so i should really just relax, right?
So happy to have found you all, and hoping it all goes well for everyone!
i was just on vacation with my family and my brother suspected since i wasn't drinking and then it turned out he and his wife are newly expecting too! but they live 9 time zones away so we won't be comparing notes that easily.

Hi ktswissdom! Congratukations on your BFP.

I echo every one of your symptoms and my boobs are so so sore they hurt if I go up and down stairs too fast. They are so hard aswell!! My hubby says they feel like one of those stress ball things, lol! Thanks hubby.

They feel massive to me and definitely look bigger too.

I'm always waking up for a wee wee too. The metal mouth seems to be not such an issue for me now though thankfully although the roof of my mouth is a bit sore like if you suck too many maltesers.

H&H 9 months xx

Hi all

Just had my first mid-wife appt today!! She 'booked' me in - asked lots of questions and filled in loads of forms! It made it all seem more real and if I'm honest I'm a little more nervous and just cannot wait for the first scan which will be between 10-14 weeks (please be 10 weeks!!).

I'm 6 weeks 2 days (ish) and am feeling ok at the mo. Tired and a little nauseous with sore boobs, but I can live with that!!

Hope you're all feeling good!!

Hiya, how long were you in there? I've got mine on Aug 4th and they've told me to expect an hour but a friend of mine who is going to exactly the same place and saw the same midwife said it only took 20minutes?

We told my hubbys parents today and although they were pleased and excited they kept going on about my sister-in-laws miscarriage which i thought was a bit insensitive. I think a positive attitude is what is required!

Yes a positive attitude is what we all need! I am going to try and be less worried and more excited!

 

[BlessingBaby3]

So confused right about now! All this time the due date calculator said my edd was march 22 but I just did it again on what to expect and it said march 23 and that I'm 6 wks instead of 5! I'm just going to wait until the doctor tells me cause I'm so confused!

I have a mad craving for baseball stadium food! Either a crazy crab sandwich or a skyline chili dog, or a chili dog from ben's chili bowl. And I rarely eat these things lol

Oh yes. I'm awful. I could nap all day but soon as I get to bed I stare at the tiles for 2 or 3 hours. When I do sleep I have super vivid dreams.

Definitely have this! I can nap for several hours in the afternoons, but I wake up to pee around 2:30 or 3:00 am, and then can't sleep for several hours at a time. It's so frustrating, because I'm so tired! Don't worry though - lots of people experience it, and it's a typical sign of pregnancy. Just try to make up for the lack of sleep with naps if you can!

Well ladies I am finally starting to feel a bit better. Told my boss I was preg so she knows why I am feeling so horrible all the time! Can't wait till all this feeling sick and tired let's up!! Bring on 12 weeks!!!

 

[alette]

I just found out last Sunday that we're expecting The online calculators give me a due date of March 25. I'm glad to see so many others expecting around the same time! It -was- beginning to feel like everyone else was much farther along.

Morning All,

Monday morning again - doesn't it come round fast?

How are we all feeling?

I'm ok, apart from my boobs but little concerned as last week my lower abdomen felt really hard (above where the triangle is) and this week it's softer - does the cervix move upwards during pregnancy?

 

[loolindley]

What a weekend!! The cramping in my tummy is so bad, but I'm starting to wonder if it is just really bad wind thats causing pressure. I'm not spotting or anything, my
boobs (well nipples) are still killing, and mood still definitely yells PREGNANT, but this cramping is quite painful. I've just spoken to my local early pregnancy unit, but they didn't really want to know and told me to go to the docs (which I did last Friday). Humph. I'm just feeling tired and grumpy after another sleepless night!

This is not what I expected so far from pregnancy. I wanted to be serene and glowing, not grumpy, tired and windy

 

[MrsHelenH]

Morning ladies!

I am feeling so sick this morning which I should be grateful for I suppose as yesterday I felt fine and was pondering to myself that maybe I wasn't pregnant anymore!

Can't say I have noticed being tired as I always seem tired anyway! I have noticed though that my usual walk home from work takes a lot longer and I feel more out of breath walking up our hill.

Seems like ages to go till the first scan and I want to tell everyone but my hubbie wants it to stay between us now.

I do have the "Pregnancy smiles" app on my iphone though which is brilliant - maybe thats just because it always says "Morning Helen" when I open it!

Hiya!

I suppose she was with me around 30-40 mins - she came to my house (which did surprise me but it made it less formal as she watched the cricket with the hubby!). She left lots of booklets & info but it was really just an information gathering/ sharing meeting and she weighed me etc.

Just want the first scan now!! Good luck with your first appt xx

GOOD MORNING ALL!

Hope your all well Ive updated the list with all the newbies

Last night in bed i finally had sore boobs and also was real hot; however woke up this morning and my boobs are fine. GAHHHHHHH wish it was one or the other!!!

Ive not been sick but i keep getting small bouts of 'nausea' im not sure however as to whether this is real or psychological. also, im eating ALLLLLLLLL the time (literally cant stop) so it could be due to this. As i keep saying - i really want MS to give me confidence that this time its going well BOOOOOO - was really hoping i wud get it dead on 6 weeks lol.

Ok, my doctor just called. This could explain my nuts stomach pains...I have food poisoning (Compilabacta sp?). He said he is not worried about the baby (WELL I AM!!!), but he doesn't want me to have anti biotics unless it persists. Marvellous!

Hi Hun, I deliver food hygiene training as part of my job - and i think what youve got is Campylobacter jejuni. Its actualy the most common food poisoning in the UK at the mo. Its associated with animals - esp pultry. Have you had funny tasting chicken or anything recently??

have your symptoms stopped now? if not antibiotics are normally given but not sure about when ur pregnant.

I've just read on the internet that it can cause miscarriage. I've got myself into a right state, and am just waiting for the doc to call back. My pains have been unbareable all weekend, and I am so worried
