March Munchkins 2017 - calling all March Mummy's to be:)

I've had my first bought of morning sickness, and although I've felt alright all afternoon I just tried to eat and feel sick again...this is not something I'll ever be glad to have.

Hope everyone is well!

I'm sorry! Sickness is no fun! I've started the past couple of days too! Sea bands are helping a little bit! Have you ever tried them?

 

[ttc126]

I only briefly introduced myself the other day. I was wondering if anyone is planning a repeat c section?

 

[MiBabyHopes]

salamander - glad to hear you think it's just a cut and there hasn't been anything else since!

kmpreston - i hope you have a sticky bean, you are probably so worried at this point, i'm glad that you have gotten farther than before and hope you keep going! (oh and i'm slightly constipated too, it's due to pregnancy hormones, it can go from diarrhea to constipation too! fun fun right?)

miranda and ttc - don't really know much about morning sickness but some smells can make me nauseous and that is no fun.

afm: not much going on tired, warm, sore boobs, and some constipation waiting now for my first ob visit with the dr. which is Aug 11th and seems so far away, hopefully she will do the handheld ultrasound and i'll see or hear the heartbeat and the lo flipping around in there.

I'm sorry to those suffering from ms. I've been wondering when mine would kick in.

I am on prednisolone for elevated Natural Killer cells and I was just googling its use in pregnancy (checking the facts). I discovered it can be used to treat morning sickness, so I may get away without experiencing that as another side effect of my meds! It also has stopped my eczema/allergic skin flare ups. I've had them for years - red, itchy skin around my mouth and on one hand. I've never found anything effective to prevent them until this. Not one flare up in the 4 weeks I've been on pred so far!

 

[kmpreston]

I'm finding it impossible to sleep beyond 6am for some reason

Woke up today with super sore boobs. Still constipated. Did a digi and still not 3+ but now I realise my maths is rubbish and it shouldn't change til like Saturday also started to feel more sickly

5 weeks today

 

[elliecain]

Kmpreston, it's annoying, isn't it?
I've had that sleep thing since I got my bfp. I wake up between 4 and 5 every morning. I put it down to hormones and excitement. I'm lucky that I'm teacher on summer holidays, so little sleep isn't a major problem, but it is annoying to wake up so early. I am feeling exhausted in the afternoons/evenings, so maybe my body is getting its rest by slowing me down later in the day.

I am. I've had an emergency and an elective so I'll be having another xx

 

[salamander91]

Urgh just been to the loo and teeny bits of blood on the tissue. I think I may have a cut because its a bit sore but I'm not 100% hopefully it doesn't get any worse!

Oh I so hope you just have a cut!

Thanks. I'm pretty sure thats what it was. There hasn't been anymore anyway I did another IC today to reassure myself and it was darker than the control line. Yay! I'm guessing I'm around 5.5/6 weeks based on the scan last week rather than 7 which I should be from lmp x

Glad to hear I'm not the only one still testing
4 weeks 6 days. Darker than the control line but no longer seeing much of a difference between tests!

Lol I'm not taking them too often now just when I have a bit of a panic. I had a load of cheapies that needed used up anyway there probably wont be much difference now and they actually might start getting lighter! Its called the hook effect xx

I'm a teacher too but sadly we don't finish for summer until end of tomorrow!!
We have timed this well for the first tri being in the summer haven't we

Hiya everyone, once again please let me apologise for being so rubbish on here. I'd planned to have a good catch up over the weekend but I have been so ill! The nausea and exhaustion has pretty much had me bedridden all weekend, I'm glad of the symptoms or I'd just worry but it's taken it's toll.

I now have all the newbies added to the list, if I've missed anyone please let me know.

Welcome Sunnie1984, lucky15, ttc126, elliecain and katie12, so nice to have you all. Congratulations

It's looks like the 21st Match is the most popular EDD so far

 

[PrincessTaz]

Himayy glad your scan went well and you saw a HB, try not to worry too much about the sac size, there's plenty of time for it to grow with baby.

Salamander91 sorry you didn't get to see the hb but glad your scan went well. Least you can look forward to seeing it next time, hope time goes quickly for you. Can't wait for the next scan update.

Kmpreston yay for your 2/3 on the digi, your symptoms sound great too. I think I'd of end up blurting it out too, I've told so many people already because I just can't keep it in lol.

MiBabyHopes Glad your appointment went well, it's so crazy they can find out the gender so early these days. I've had some smell aversions to things I normally love too, especially coffee.
Livvy I've had to announce early to people too, the weekend after I found out I was going on an all day ale trail so they would have definitely guessed by my dodgy behaviour at the bar try to discretely order non alcoholic drinks lol.

Sarah0108 so glad your scan went well, that's great news

Katestar53 I was worried towards last week because nearly all my symptoms had gone but by the end of the week and weekend they were back with avengeance! They seemed to have died down a bit again today now, after how crap I felt this weekend don't think I'll be moaning at lack of symtoms again haha. I probaly will really lol. I have no appointments now until my booking in one with the midwife on the 1st, loking forward to that as it always seems more real once you have all your pregnancy notes. I do have a doppler but my friend is currently borrowing itm going to hold off getting it back until after 15 weeks. Don't wanna stress myself out and I have a lot of layers of fat on my tummy so guessing it may be hard to find while so tiny lol.

Salamander91 I've been wet down there because I've been having loads of creamy cm (sorry tmi) but I was constantly panicking and running to the toilet to check. I still have a little panic attack every time I go to the toilet just in case there is when I wipe.

If I've missed anyone post I'm really sorry, there was so much to catch up one

 

[mirandaprice]

Ttc126- I'm most likely having a repeat c-section, I've been told my obgyn won't do vbacs, I'll find out for sure at my first appointment

 

[katestar53]

I only briefly introduced myself the other day. I was wondering if anyone is planning a repeat c section?

I am, I've had two sections & am not looking forward to this one at all. The first one was great but had a slight complication with the last one. Nothing life threatening but I carried on bleeding after they had stitched me up & it wasn't noticed till quite a few hours later... I had to be put to sleep & then got a nasty infection The midwife said it was very uncommon so I'm sure it won't happen again! X

 

[ttc126]

I had my first vaginally then my second c section due to him being breech! I can't decide my preference this time as my section was a lot better than my first birth.

Hi all,

I've been really busy lately with finishing maternity leave, then finishing work for the summer (im a teacher as well) then I've had family staying all weekend.

Hello and congratulations to any new! And so many good scans. I can't believe it has been a week since I have had mine. I still dont have my first midwife appointment booked so I need to chase that.

For those getting up at 6, that is what life is like with a young baby, my son is up anywhere from 4:30 until 6:30 every morning it is exhausting me at the moment. My husband gave me a lay in until 8 at the weekend it was so refreshing!

I am suffering from nausea most the day but I have only actually been sick once, in the shower of all places since then I can't have a shower without gagging. I am also getting really bad lower back ache but I don't think my back completely recovered from the last pregnancy.

I hope everyone is coping well and good luck to those with scans/appointments coming up

Hi ladies. I haven't been on a while. Try to come and catch up when I can. Things are going mostly good here. Had a little scare last night with some red blood, but it was only one wipe and immediately turned to pink and haven't had anything since. I have had bleeding/spotting at least once in each of my pregnancies. Can't imagine anything more stressful. I have my first Ultrasound Tuesday August 2nd, so just waiting impatiently until then.

 

[SweetV]

Hello all!
Trying to catch up after a weekend away. I hope everyone is well!
Afm - I'm exhausted. I feel this bone deep tiredness and I could sleep all day. I still have to chase around after a 9 month old all day so I'm trying to rest when I can....zzzzz.....

 

[Mrs. Tigger]

Hello Ladies

I'd like to join, if you don't mind.

Name (just first)? - Sasha

How old are you? - 31

What's your EDD, how have you figured that date? - March 31st. I know exactly when I ovulated, as I was tracking carefully.

What # child is this for you? - 1

Do you predict you're carrying a boy or girl? - No idea!

Are you finding out the gender? - Not sure yet. I think DH would like to stay team yellow, but I think I'd prefer to know.

How many months were you TTC? - 25 (PCOS and hypothyroidism took some time get sorted).

Are you on any meds to help support your pregnancy? - I still take metformin and levothyroxin. And of course all my prenatals (and extra Vit. D and Vit. B12 as I've had low levels of these in the past).

 

[elliecain]

Welcome Sasha and congratulations! How amazing does it feel to finally have a baby growing after so long?! We had to do a lot to get here, but can truly enjoy it now xxx
