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

[PrincessTaz]

Eeeek this group is getting super exciting now we're seeing so many cute scan pics and finding out genders, I love it
Remember to do the poll once you know because I'm going to start editing the genders on the main page and it's easier to do that than go through posts

Glad nearly everyone is feeling a little better, I am too. Don't know if because I've had a week off work but I feel pretty great, don't want to go back lol. Hardly have any any nausea now and not feeling totally exhausted all the time.

I'm so jealous of everyone who knows what they're having, I'm really questioning staying now, we didn't find out with our ds so maybe it would be nice experiencing knowing earlier. I just don't know. Still have 4 weeks until my 20 week scan so plenty of time to make my mind up.

I went on a shopping spree last week and ended up buying a new nursery set, I love it. I thought we'd have to use my sons which has seen better days after a house move and cow boy removal men but my mil put towards which was really nice of her.





Also clothes wise I've bough a few things newborn but mainly 0-3 months, newborn only lasted us around 2 weeks. My ds was 7.3lbs but was quite long. I have quite a lot of his neutral newborn clothes left too so will use those again. I love getting them out for a look, can't wait to have a tiny baby again. My ds just went 4 at the weekend, doesn't seem like 2 mins a go he was a baby.

Here's my 16 week bump pic

Love that nursery set Taz, got to love ikea!

My DD was 8lb 8oz and was in first size/newborn for at least a month. So I won't be taking 0-3 to the hospital like I did last time!

Think I spoke a bit too soon about my sickness going; it came back yesterday so I've had to go back on the anti sickness meds grr.

I have my private gender scan in 2.5 weeks, can't wait!

Mine have been 9lb 2oz and 8lb 13oz so I buy a couple of packs of up to 1 month and then 0-3. Cora actually fit in newborn for about a week but its not worth buying for just a week!

 

[PrincessTaz]

Button I never thought to even look in Ikea with my son, they have some lovely sets and so cheap compared to other places. Sorry your feeling sick again today x

Salamder I hope you mean 8 and not 18 lol, that would be a scary thought I'm going to get some up to 1 month too as they last that bit longer x

 

[salamander91]

Oops yes 8lb lol she's not even 18lb yet!

 

[broodymrs]

Lovely furniture and bump! We're reusing what we can as we're really having to cut back as I'm not going back to work this time!

 

[mirandaprice]

Love the nursery set Taz! And beautiful bump! (Btw, I love your curls)

I'm using my son's old crib...he slept in it maybe ten times since I bought it It's coming in my room to make sure new baby makes use of it

Started having sinus congestion yesterday and now have low grade fever and chills. Has anyone been informed what dosage of tylenol is okay? I have 500mg tablets and usually take two but 1000MG seems like a lot.

 

[ttc bubby no2]

My first was 7lb 7oz and second was 9lb. They weren't in newborn sizes for very long, especially DS2.

I'm not sure what size baby to expect this time. The plan is to have a homebirth so I won't need to stress about what sizes to take with me at least


We will be reusing our furniture again. I'm trying to not spend too much on new things but we will need a bassinet to keep in our room, new cot mattress and some other things that we got rid off.

I have some clothes left but also got rid of a lot which is ok as they were mostly boy clothes anyway.

 

[PrincessTaz]

Broodymrs we thought we'd have to reuse, we definitely wouldn't of been able to afford if mil hadn't been so generous x

Mirandaprice thank you, I'm loving finally having a little bump. Lol, we hardly used the cot until he was older and it became a cot bed. He hated the cot and moses basket when he was little x

Hhimayy not sure on the dosage, never heard of tylenol before. Hope you feel better soon though .

Ttc bubby no2 I'm hopefully going to have a home birth too, definitely easier packing wise. I took way too much stuff with my DS. We would have had to reuse without mh mil putting to, only thing is the cot got damaged moving and we'd try to fix it but it never felt as sturdy after that. Luckily my friend who is currently 5 days overdue is going to keep her moses baskets and stands for us to use which is a bonus x

I went to the Aldi baby event today and picked up a couple of cute blankets and towels for baby, need to stop buying for a while now lol x

Jadza welcome to the group and congratulations, added you to the main page x

 

[mirandaprice]

Welcome jazda!

Ladies, I think I have a uti, going into the drs to check at 10 am. This morning I had some spotting when I wiped, that paired with the greenish discharge I've had all week makes me suspect infection. I sort of shrugged it off at first since no smell or irritation...but the spotting has me worried.

Had a good listen on the doppler, baby sounds nice and strong...but want to be safer then sorry

 

[mirandaprice]

No infections or uti, just random spotting. Heard baby on doppler, all is good

 

[broodymrs]

That's good Miranda. Always best to get checked

 

[PrincessTaz]

Glad everything was okay Miranda x

 

[Mattsgirl]

Glad everything is good miranda! UTI's are no fun.

 

[sewing_mama]

Re. Clothes sizes my little girl was 5lb7oz! OH had to dash out and buy tiny baby stuff. 0-3 didn't fit until she was 3 months!

 

[justplay91]

Glad you don't have a UTI, Miranda. I have had spotting at 15 weeks with my son and 13 weeks with my daughter. It's scary, but apparently can be completely harmless! Still best to get checked, though. Glad baby was fine!

I had a scare this morning. I went in to the Dr.'s because I've been having constant headaches for a week or more and they couldn't find the baby on the doppler. They got me in for an ultrasound right away, and of course baby was just fine! Whew. One of the scariest few minutes of my life! But anyway, baby looks good and healthy, so all is well.

On to clothing sizes, my two were 7 lbs 1oz and 7lbs 3oz and fit into newborn clothes pretty well right away. They do grow out of them pretty fast. I think by 4 weeks, both of them were mostly into 3 month stuff. Same with newborn diapers.

 

[broodymrs]

That's scary justplay. I've been having bad headaches and they checked me for pre eclampsia but didn't even try and find baby with the Doppler. I can feel him/her wiggling though so I think all ok. I am in a lot of pain today though. My bump and my back are so painful. Pretty sure it's the return of my diastasis recti as it feels like there's no support and Dh says my bump looks like it's drooping 😟
