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

[kmpreston]

Kmpreston - Those roads over the moors are awful to Burnley. I lived in Bacup for a bit & Winter was a nightmare!
Definitely safer at Oldham..

Yeh I used to live there, now just drive through it daily to get to work and know that there's no way I could do that journey in labour! Given that our worst snow this year was in March it's just not a risk I'm taking!

No one could pay me enough to use Blackburn hospital either, which is saying something given that I'm willing to use Rochdale and Oldham!!

Hey everyone loving all the scan Picts so glad all is going well for everyone I have my next scan on Monday can't wait to see my little bean again

Oxygen i know it's worring but am sure your little bean is just hiding in there it's still very early

Am from Antrim in N.Ireland

Yay a NI lady good luck with your scan!

Oxygen & KMPreston, will you be giving birth in Burnley hospital? I'm living in Darwen so will be giving birth in Burnley.
I've got my dating scan on Monday in Blackburn & am starting to get very nervous, I've already had 3 scans so I've no idea why I'm feeling like this

I'm not really struggling with acne, but I'm starting to get a good few beard hairs & hate it!!

Yeah I will be going no Burnley birthing centre. I used them last time with my girl and ended up being moved to the birth suite due to baby pooping in me. The facilities were good but my midwife was horrible so it's made me worried about using the birth centre again rather than the suite. Just my luck I would get the same midwife!

I'm from Liverpool uk originally, lived in Manchester for years a now we are just south of Birmingham.

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been awol for ages, I just felt really horrible posting positive news when there seemed to be a few people getting really bad news so I unsubbed from due month threads.

Lovely to see so many wonderful scan pictures and hear heartbeat finding stories.

After a lot of stubborn determination, I found my baby's heartbeat at around 9+3. Now, I seem to find it immediately most times and it's a great sound!
I had my first NHS scan last week. My IVF dates were putting me at 11+3, but the CRL of 53.6mm moved us to 12 weeks, so my due date is now St Patrick's Day, 17th March!
The nuchal fold was measured at 1.3mm, so low risk for a trisomy. I'll get my blood results and a ratio this week, but I know my age (39) and the fact I had IVF will skew it, so we announced on FB on Friday anyway.

I'm finally booking in on Thursday... I'll be 12+6 and only then finally being made official! My GP messed up and gave me the wrong information, so my appointment with the midwife was in the wrong place... I'd booked it when I first found out, so I was really unhappy to then be told there were no appointments for ages. Still, once I finally got hold of someone, they managed to arrange the scan ASAP. I've got 2 appointments this week - booking in and also seeing endocrinologist because of my thyroid. Then, I meet a consultant in early October, as I'll be consultant led due to having IVF.

I am nearly off my steroids now, been tapering for the last 2 weeks. They masked some symptoms and I did get some nausea for a bit, but the magical second tri seems to be starting and I'm starting to feel human again. I'm back to school tomorrow, so it's good timing. I'll be in maternity clothes though - prednisolone + pregnancy = bloat! I also started to feel my uterus above my pelvic bone yesterday

Here are some pictures...

Hi ladies,

Sorry I haven't posted in ages, I have been having spotting about every 2-3 weeks so I decided to stay away. Anyway I had my twelve week scan last week and all is fine. No reason found for all the bleeding, suggested that it is just one of those things. The baby was an absolute pain and would not stay still. It took almost an hour to get the measurements. I am now due on the 7th which I always expected to be later than my lmp date.

I am a teacher so I was back at work last week and announced my pregnancy. Only just come back from maternity leave from my first.

I am just starting to move into maternity jeans and I have the start of a little hard bump. Trying to hold of getting the rest of my maternity clothes out for a bit. But everything I have is really summery so I msy just h

Sorry managed to press post before I finished.

So I will have to buy more winter clothes.

I currently live in bucks but I am originally from Macclesfield and would love to move back. I keep comparing house prices and its not fair!
