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

I'm so sorry! It hurts to say good bye to our furry friends.

Scan went well but they didn't really say anything. I got to see baby quickly and I know that the NT measurement was 1.01 which was very low. I did get a picture but it's horrible.

Tried my Doppler today and couldn't find anything but not hugely surprised. Will try again when my bladder is full

Did you look on youtube? The videos were really helpful. Don't panic if it takes a few days to find it. Just remember, most doctors & midwifes don't even .attempt using a doppler until 12 weeks. Good luck hun!

So sorry, Miranda. It's so hard to lose a beloved member of the family. I hope you and your family are okay.

10 weeks today. Wow, this pregnancy is flying by! 4 more weeks until 2nd tri. We still haven't told any family members yet... We have been waiting for the perfect time, but honestly I don't think there ever will be a good time! We already have a boy and a girl, so everyone expects that we'd be done. Little do they know!

I thought second tri started at 13 weeks?
I'm sure your family will be over the moon when you tell them

I have no idea why it sometimes double posts for me

Anyway in other news - I found the heart beat! It was very quiet at first so the Doppler was picking up my heart rate but then eventually it got up to 138-142 bpm

 

[katestar53]

Kmpreston - Yay!! Nothing more magical than that sound ❤️

Justplay - I'm feel the same... The weeks are just flying by now!! I've kinda told close family & friends... I just can't keep my mouth shut 😁 But I understand how you feel... People seem to think they can have an opinion on how many kids you can have, when & what gender they think you should have! This is why we aren't finding out the sex as we have two boys & I don't want all the comments! I'd be happy with a healthy baby! X

Thanks ladies - it's so weird not having him here anymore and I still tear up thinking about him, but he's in a better place now. It's just so hard to say goodbye.

Sweetv- glad your scan went well!

Kmpreston- yay for finding the heartbeat. I just love that sound, it's so magical!

I think 2nd tri starts somewhere in the middle of week 12- it's weird how they count it. On this site first tri is up until 12 weeks, and end starts at 12 weeks...I guess just depends on who you ask? I count 12 weeks as going into 2nd tri.

I got my lab work back, the urine analysis and blood work my obgyn had me do...it's showing I'm dehydrated and have protein in my urine...which is probably from the higher bp and stress I've had the last few weeks. I guess I'll find out more of a game plan when I see the specialist on Sept 8th.

justplay91 - It's amazing that people have a perspective on how many kids we should have. I have 2 boys so everybody expects that I'll try again. I got comments after my second boy that if he was a girl I could stop having babies.... what?!

kmpreston - my doppler will sometimes not display the heart rate but it is always a magical sound. Yay for finding it!!

katestar53 - it's because I have two boys that I'm going to find out the gender lol (although I did for the others too). I don't have to tell anybody though!

mirandaprice - I like the 12 weeks second tri... It means I'm there tomorrow! I think it depends on if you are going by lmp, conception or dividing it into 3 equal parts? I've seen a website give all three dates for trimesters.

Isn't that horrible when people try to put their two cents into your family size? I had a girl first then a boy and my exMIL " reminded" me every single time I saw her that my family was complete. Ugh... I'm going on #5, hahahaha!

flipporama - my mom is the worst for this! She even said this pregnancy that "it better be a girl so you can be done". I have half a mind that even if it is a girl to have 3 more lol.

LOL, yesssss!
I'm glad my mother doesn't even ask if I'm done having babies. I'm the 2nd of 6 though. She loves babies and I'm positive she would have had more but she almost bled out with my youngest brother & had to have an emergency hysterectomy at 33 years old (my age).

 

[katestar53]

Ladies, are your symptoms easing off at all? I'm almost 12 weeks & am still feeling rubbish 😁

 

[Livvy]

Congrats kmpreston!!

It does depend on when you are counting from, but if you go by 40 weeks divided by 3 it's 13.3. So in the middle of the 13th week. Last time I waited till I was 14 weeks till I said I'm in second tri.

 

[SweetV]

flipporama1 - that's so scary! I'm 33 too and finding pregnancy harder as I age.

katestar53 - my symptoms are not any better. 12 weeks today and still exhausted and feeling bloated and gross as I type. Last pregnancy I was on the mend by 9-10 weeks and feeling great by now. Hopefully soon.

Livvy - I usually say 13-14 weeks is second tri as well. Not sure where 12 weeks became the magic number

Week 11 has been the worst so far for me with nausea. Feeling slightly better today but still having to snack all the time or I feel sick. Crossing fingers and toes that it will ease off by the end of week 12!

I was wondering when the end of 1st tri is too? I'm thinking the end of Week 12? I'm really looking forward to it, can't wait for my scan and sharing the news! Maternity clothes and baby kicks. 1st tri is definitely my least fave part of pregnancy. In my first pregnancy I felt much better in 2nd and 3rd tri. Only the last two weeks or so were mega uncomfortable with heartburn.

 

[katestar53]

I always count 2nd tri as week 13, not long now ladies! X

 

[button05]

Just checking in, hope everyone is ok. Big up to all the sicky mamas, I'm right there with you!

 

[Livvy]

Looking forward to the baby kicks too, and looking pregnant instead of fat!
