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

[button05]

Yep, tiredness has hit here too! Team that with the start of MS which seems particularly worse at night, and the fact that my daughter is teething and up literally every hour at night at the moment, I'm EXHAUSTED!

Button, I thought I recognised your name... We were in the Marchmallows 2015 thread together! Crazy hey?!? X

Ah, how cool!! What date was your youngest born in March? My LO was the 16th but her due date was the 21st, and my due date with this one is the 22nd!

My youngest was born on the 11th but his due date was the 16th. This one is due 18th I just hope I'm not in hospital for his birthday, that will be awful X

Private scan booked for Wednesday.. Suddenly nervous again!

 

[katestar53]

It's such a stressful time!! I hate the first trimester but then I always find something to worry about in each & every trimester I'm sure all will be fine Sarah & you'll see your two beautiful little beans 💛💛

 

[sarah0108]

Thanks Kate! It's true, first tri is quite stressful I find! X

 

[SweetV]

sorry to everyone that is going through a hard time (emotionally and physically)

I'm so exhausted I can barely keep one foot infant of the other . No other symptoms really except feeling constantly bloated.

Hi All!!!

I haven't been on in a few weeks. Been struggling with trying to keep one foot in front of the other these days and just haven't really had the energy to even turn on the computer.

Great reading all your updates. I felt like I've haven't been on in 3 months instead of weeks.

TTC I hope you're resting and so glad to hear you're little bean was just fine and had a strong heartbeat!

Congrats on the twins, Sarah! How amazing! I'm not sure if that was new since the last time I was on; But just in case I didn't say it before. Both pregnancies I hoped I wasn't pregnant with twins (twins run in my husbands family) and then when it came time for my scan I was a little bummed that it wasn't twins... lol I don't try to pretend I make sense anymore. I think secretly I really want them.

It really seems like the first trimester is dragging for me this time around but then again I'm not trying to rush getting to the part when I'm as big as house and even getting my shoes on seems to be a two person task.

Can't wait to check back in and see how everyone is getting along and how all the scans are going!

Being first time pregnant and ltttc, I'm going to buck the trend here and say I'm loving the first tri! It's taken me so long to get here and it's still not quite sunk in that I'm pregnant, so I'm not going to wish away a single day of the magic of my baby developing.
I'm sure it's a different matter when you've already done this before or if it happened really easily for you, but I'm still blown away whenever I think about what is finally going on inside me!

Hi all, I've booked an early scan for Mon. Then my midwife has booked me an early scan around 9 weeks, and has also booked in my 12 week scan for when I'll be 12+2 ish.

Really struggling with the sickness and my LO going through a horrendous sleep regression! She was awake every hour from 8pm and then wide awake from midnight til 3:30am argh!

I have an early scan on Monday too at some private place "show your bump". Hoping all is well

Scan went well today. Baby's heartrate was 186. Go back in a few weeks for another checkup but no more scans until 20 weeks.

Hi ladies. How is everyone. Some lovely scan pics on here.
Congrats to those who have had them and seen their little bundle(s)

Afm I'm currently 6wk 2 days and have my first app with midwife next week (they say I'm 7wk now even though I know when I ov'd). I won't be having my scan until early sept which feels forever away.
Finding the wait tough. It's hard not knowing if everything is ok. As for symptoms, I am super exhausted and finding it so hard entertaining my 2.5 year old. She's not one for playing alone and I feel guilty that I just don't have the energy to take her out. Not great timing having first tri during her hols from nursery!
I'm having nausea and food aversions which is accompanied by crazy hunger. Problem is that after I eat (even if I enjoyed it), I feel sick a while after.
I looked into having an early private scan but the ones local to me cost £100 and it's just too much since I am planning on having the harmony test after my 12 week scan if all is ok with baby.

 

[button05]

Kmpreston- an early scan will give you a lot of reassurance I'm sure.

Hhimayy- great scan piccie! Glad all is well.

Oxygen- I feel you on the waiting, and trying to entertain a toddler! Lucky for me my OH and I both work in education (HE/FE) so we're both off for summer. I don't know how I'd cope with my LO on my own. My private scan is £45 (I'm NW) so not too bad really.

So I just have zero morning sickness. It's really doing my head in at the moment. With my healthy boys I had very bad sickness. With my losses had nothing. So it's very frightening. Instead of feeling glad I'm not hanging over the toilet all day, I worry that my munchkins heart has stopped. This morning I woke up to my breast soreness gone. I just am so concerned and worried.
Scan tomorrow at 8am.

I see you're in Lancashire (me too) have you looked at show your bump in Wigan - it is £40

And so your should be sweetie, what a journey you have had

Pregnancy is such a magical thing & having suffered from five losses I'm totally with you I think it's because I've got two wild boys 3 & under that run me ragged! But it's all worth it, that first moment you see your baby... Nothing beats it ❤️

Yay, so pleased all is well, gorgeous scan! X

Ttc, sending you big hugs! My symptoms come & go all the time & it's super stressful 😁 Thinking of you tomorrow for your scan X

AFM... Pjs are on & pizza ordered! Anyone find they are just craving junk? I'm usually quite a healthy eater but I just want bad food! Still feeling horrendously sick & exhausted & am really struggling keeping the two boys entertained. I tried to have a nap on the sofa today but the boys decided to start jumping on me! Oh well, I'll try & have an early night tonight

Anybody tried their Doppler yet? I've tried the last few nights & no luck yet! I know it's far to early but here's hoping X

Hi ladies. Haven't checked in here in a while. I've been trying to make the time pass faster by staying offline. Its not working so well. Time is crawling. Had my first ultrasound this morning and was bumped from 7 weeks back to 6 weeks 3 days (which was completely expected as I knew when I ov'd because I had ultrasound monitoring) saw a baby with a heart beat of 124.

So if my date on the front page could get moved from March 21 to March 25
