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

[broodymrs]

Hi. Could I join? I've been waiting until after my 12 week scan to come on as I'd convinced myself something would be wrong but had that last week and all was good. Would love to join you all.

I'm due 6th March but am having a scheduled section between 39-40 weeks. Looking like I'm on track for another big baby 😀

Sarah: I really hope everything is as it should be with your twins. How stressful for you. I don't think some doctors realise how their words can affect you .
Welcome Broody.

 

[Oxygen7880]

KateStar how was the scan?

 

[salamander91]

I hope everything is OK Sarah xx

Welcome broody! I'll be having an elective as well

 

[Livvy]

I'm sorry Sarah, I hope it's just because of their position in your uterus... I feel like this time around I must have a posterior placenta because I haven't had to pee nearly as much! Could definitely be something like that.

Welcome broodymrs!

Hhimayy, I hope all is fine. That's so stressful with not wanting to have invasive testing and all. I totally understand wanting to be prepared, my niece was born with a syndrome they had no idea she would have till they had her. She's 2 now but still has a trach and g-tube. She's learning sign language though and is the cutest thing.

One week till my 12 week scan. Seems to be going so slowly right now...
When DS is 14 months i will be 14 weeks so thinking of announcing that way like with the two of us and him holding a chalk sign that says 14 months and me holding one that says 14 weeks.

That's a super cute idea Livy!!

I hate it when doctors say things like that Sarah. There are so many thing that control that. I've only ever had singletons but I'm always way saller than they think I should be and both babies have been perfect 7 lb babies. So praying everything is perfect with your little ones.

2 more days until my scan!! Thankfully I have stuff to keep me busy until then. Today I got to finish unpacking a few boxes and clean like crazy. Because tomorrow my parents are comng to visit!! I'm so excited!! This is the longest I've ever been away from them. (Its only been 3 and a half weeks) I know thats probably pathetic but I'm super close to my parents and so are my kids. So we're going crazy. Plus they'll be able to watch the other munchkins while we're at the baby appointment.

Isn't it annoying that no matter how many times you get light, period like cramps (and it turns out totally fine the next day) you still blindly panic at the time

Ah! So jealous!! I'm tight with my family too but they live 6 hours away so only see them every few months. Enjoy your time!!

Hi Ladies,

I hope all is well with everyone. I skimmed through to catch up and loved seeing all the US of growing babies. I love it! Glad to hear that first trimester blues are passing for some.

Taz and Miranda, I'm sorry for the loss of your pets. It sounds like they were a big part of your families and well loved.

hhimayy - What a great image of your little pea. on the stress of all the testing you have been going through.

Sarah- It doesn't sound fair for doctors to add extra stress to the loads of worry we already have by making comments like that. Bodies are different and show differently. I'm sure it would have been less worrying for you if they just do the scan and then address any concerns once they see baby is just fine. I hope your scan went well. xxxx

AFM- We had our 12 week scan and loved seeing our little bean dancing around. I will try to post pics when I have more time. Also found out today that we're having a boy. I'm so excited to be having a little boy, although I also want another girl...good thing we're not done. My husband wasn't as excited which i didn't understand but he said all he wished for was a healthy baby and the sex didn't matter much, which of course made me feel guilty. But that only lasted for a minute and I was back to being on cloud 9 again about this little bean being a boy. I think I'm going team yellow for our next baby.

Hope everyone is doing well! Hopefully now that I'm feeling a little better I'll have the energy to be on more. I would love to be more updated on how you ladies are doing. I always feel like I'm playing catch up when I log on these days.

 

[Livvy]

Congratulations on your scan pb and on being team blue!! That's so exciting!

 

[mirandaprice]

So happy to see all these beautiful scans, can't wait to see more as they happen!

So exciting that were all either in 2nd tri or entering it soon! I can't wait for movement, I keep hoping I'll feel something soon. With my son I first felt something around 15 weeks, so maybe a little sooner with this one?

Is anyone else just so tired? I get up several times a night just to pee...and some nights I wake up so hungry.

Thanks for all the comments guys! scan was perfect, they've put me at 13 weeks today two little babies wiggling away (twin 1 was a right pain in the bum and wouldn't stay still for measurements! Haha) twin 2 just laid there and was also a pain as wouldn't move for the measurements despite a lot of poking and prodding. We got there in the end though!

Twin1 is currently the biggest, measuring 67.2mm CRL (I have a feeling it may be a boy) and twin2 is on the small end of the scale at 61.1mm CRL (instinct saying girl). Currently no concerns otherwise had traces of ketones, proteins and whatnot in the urine sample but I expected it since I've been poorly and not eating etc, but she gave me anti sickness tablets for a week to help me get back up and running again as I've also lost weight.


Hope everyone else has had a nice day, it was such a relief knowing all was well today! And definitely no need for me to be worried about the no bump thing


I'll be adding photos later but most likely be in my journal X

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats on the scan Sarah! It's ridiculous for the dr to say that about the bump. Bumps come in all shapes and sizes!

Pb how have you found out sex so early?! How lovely to be team blue. I love little boys 😍 I'm sure I'd love a girl too but no experience of that, yet!

 

[kmpreston]

Congrats on all the scans guys

Yay for healthy twins Sarah

And yay for first official member of team blue!

 

[Mattsgirl]

I'm so glad your twins are good and happy in there.

 

[salamander91]

Glad you're scan went well Sarah!
I had my scan today too. Baby measuring 12+4 so due date changed back to March 12th!https://i67.tinypic.com/1iltv7.jpg

Hi Ladies

Just so many lovely scans! I have another tomorrow at 10+2 and can't wait.

I wanted to ask a question. I am currently exploding around the middle -- it just happened in the last few days. But I am worried. I should not look like this at just over 10 weeks, right? I have gained 3kg in first tri so far which I know is probably too much. I was also overweight before my BFP but I had nothing of a stomach compares to this. I am scared -- how big am I going to be at the end!!! This is my first baby, so I don't know what to expect. Is it fat? What is going on? I am not getting bigger anywhere else on my body, other than boobs.

 

[broodymrs]

I've had a huge bump from 4 weeks! It's actually got smaller the last couple of weeks as proper bump has replaced bloat but I'm still pretty huge. I wouldn't worry. I put on loads of weight last time and I've put a fair bit on this time but it nearly all came straight off afterwards.

 

[Mattsgirl]

I wouldn't worry about it tiger. With all of my pregnancies I had crazy bloat all the way until it was replaced by a really bump between 16 and 20 weeks.
As long as your eating well balanced meals don't worry about the amount of weight you put on. I mean if your eating fast food every day thats probably not good, cuz the weight won't just come off. For me I gain alot really fast then the second tri slowed down then speeds up again the last couple weeks. Basically gaining weight is good for you and baby.

 

[pb921124]

Miranda – Yes! I thought I was over the fatigue stage as I woke up with tons of energy for the first time in what seems like forever, but after a night of bathroom trips I was faced with another day of feeling like a zombie. I even tried not cutting out fluid close to bed time and still I was up what felt like every hour.

Sarah – I’m so happy everything went great and your twin beans are looking good. Again I can’t believe your doctor would put you through unneeded stress with such a comment. Can’t wait to see your scan!

Broodymrs – I had the Harmony test. They collected blood at my 12 week appt and was able to tell the sex by the baby’s DNA in my blood. I love little boys too! I grew up with little step brothers over 10 years younger than me and I adore them. I always knew I wanted boys. I actually thought I wanted all boys until I had my little and it was love at first sight. She is so amazing and I LOVE shopping in the little girl’s sections.
Salamander- What a gorgeous scan!

Mrs. Tigger- I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Like the other ladies said, it’s probably mostly bloat. It’s crazy how bloat can make you feel 8 months pregnant! Some days I have to pull out my maternity pants because no way will my bloated belly get into my regular jeans!
Hope everyone else is doing well!
