*** March Mummies *** 29 Boys, 34 Girls, 8 Team Yellow! 46 babies born!!

[Legally Erin]

Hi all

I am hoping to be a March Mummy too. My estimated due date is March 5th 2011.

Bit of an intro - I got my BFP when I was a few days late for AF. Shocked to say the least as I'm single and the father is my best friend and Australian, I'm a 22 year old trainee lawyer, and I was on BC with no mistakes in taking it. Tough decision but I've decided to keep the baby couldn't bear it any other way - this must have happened for a reason.

Now I'm attached I'm terrified of losing the baby. Just trying to chill a bit and let nature take its course.

[Legally Erin]

That's fab Booth - we've a long way to go yet and who knows maybe my friendship with father with develop into something more.

 

[Tanikit]

Erin congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to the March Mummies - I'm sure it is all for a good reason.

 

[Boothh]

Hi All,

Can I join? Got my BFP on Monday, EDD 8th March

 

[JaniceT]

Thank you ladies for your warm welcome

Boothh, don't worry! It's possible to have a false negative but almost impossible to have a false positive...and 8 tests! You're sooooo pregnant. When are you going in for blood tests?

When I pee'd on a stick yesterday, it was a rather faint line on one of those cheapy dip sticks and was cautious until I got back the blood tests this morning with high readings.

Don't stress, it's no good

I'm craving for fried fish everyday since 8DPO. Is this even normal? Doc said pregnant women would normally start hating fish and seafood due to the smell. Confused.

 

[Boothh]

janice - thanks i have blood tests tomorrow, my doctor told me im not pregnant and hcg is from my mmc in april.. i tested last month before AF though and got stark white negatives, so this would be a new pregnancy wouldnt it! im scared!!

and also the only thing iv fancied to eat recently is tuna sandwiches! so its not just you lmao!

one thing thats funny though is that i ALWAYS drink pepsi max i get through about 5 bottles of it a week, but all of a sudden it tastes soo weird to me! it makes me shudder if i drink it just tastes really funny!! iv had to go buy different types of pop cus i suddenly can not stand it!! x

and welcome duemarch11 !! my EDD is 8th march too xx

 

[JaniceT]

Boothh.... ooooh you might just be extremely pregnant by turning away Pepsi Max. The body has a natural way of rejecting anything that's not good for the baby, including caffeinated drinks. Best stay away from most pop (although you can have up to several cans per day) until you get your test results

My doc is ok with caffeine intake of up to equivalent 3 cups of coffee per day however I've switched to decaf and cut off pop and chocolate.

All the best to you!

(just had more fish to eat LOL)

 

[Boothh]

with my son my craving was full fat coke, drank tonnes of it
funnily though not fancied a cuppa tea either which is normally the other thing i drink!

i do have a horrible taste in my mouth though and it gets even worse when i eat or drink anything tastes like i have a 2p stuck in my drink horrible metallic taste like licking a spoon lmao x

 

[Aunty E]

OMG. I think I might have morning sickness. I don't DO morning sickness

 

[Boothh]

OMG. I think I might have morning sickness. I don't DO morning sickness

like sicky? or actually throwing up! i feel abit sicky but not enough to throw up like :/ dont fancy eating anything really lost my appetite! xx

 

[Tanikit]

Congrats DueMarch11 and welcome to the thread.

Coffee started tasing horrible to me at 9dpo so I haven't had any since then I don't think. I've switched to rooibos tea but am still drinking Pepsi Max and Coke Zero - trying to cut down, but water is so boring and there aren't terribly many more options for a diabetic.

I haven't had any MS yet - are you sick Auntel E or just nauseous? Last time I started with nausea at 5 weeks so keep expecting it, but I'd rather it stayed away thanks.

My DD asked: Are you tired Mom? I said yes, will you let me sleep and she said: No, you have to play with me! So I guess we will be playing.

Hi Erin, Janice and Duemarch and congrats!

[Aunty E]

Nausea but I'm deffo not going to be sick. Just queasy and burping and I haven't got pain in my tummy, but a feeling like an ice cube is in there or something.

I lost my appetite last time, but would have these occasional moments of utter ravenous hunger where I would demolish food in a scary way! I'm at the appetite loss point right now, I think I hit scary hunger at about ten weeks last time.

 

[Barbiebaby]

Tanikit - bless your DD asking if you were tired! I'm shattered but luckily my DS is just about to have a nap so I'll be taking full advantage!

Hi, can I join you?

Got my BFP on Tuesday (and another on Weds)

DH and I have been trying for #1 since October last year, was starting to give up hope.

Been to the Doc's this morning; took my blood pressure and pulse, weighed me and filled out a load of forms - no blood test or anything though? He put me at 5 weeks on the dot with an expected due date of 3 March 2011. He also booked me in the see the midwife on 21 July @ 8 weeks and that I'll be contacted for my dating scans/bloods/tests etc around 11 weeks (around 12th August).

I have to admit I am absolutely crapping myself at the moment - don't get me wrong, I am really excited but also very frightened and overwhelmed.

The only real 'symptoms' I have are very very sore BBs and Im maybe a bit more tired than normal. Should I keep testing every week until I see the midwife?

Hope your all OK xxx

 

[Boothh]

just took another test, a first response one test test (less sensitive than frer) it came up positive but fainter than the frer line i got this morning, would that be because its a less sensitive test? worried now!

 

[Tanikit]

Welcome MrsH and congrats!

I have stopped testing now, but I did have a blood test at 16dpo so maybe that is why. Test as much as you like, but its more for your own peace of mind. Glad you get in and see someone so soon.

Becky the third test I took was the faintest of teh lot but I think a lot of it has to do with how concentrated your urine was - as that one was taken when I already knew my hcg levels were high. I have very little confidence in the darkening of the lines - its too variable.
