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

[mirandaprice]

We announced to family after our first scan, and to everyone else after my NT scan.

I've had a lot of spotting off and on, so have had 3 scans and purchased a doppler to ease my anxiety...otherwise I'd of waited until after 20 weeks to tell anyone outside the family!

Bicorn we announced to everyone after our scan at 10 weeks. Part of me was nervous after 4 miscarriages but I looked at in in a way of no matter what I did it wouldn’t change the outcome and I wanted to enjoy and celebrate this pregnancy for as long as it lasted. It wasn’t a secret that we’d had fertility issues and losses so I knew everyone would want to be there to celebrate with is and support if the worst did happen xx

Miranda- I've been thinking about getting doppler myself! I've heard spotting is completely normal. One doctor told me not to worry unless I soak through a pad in an hour!!! I've been so anxious since the start. I've already had 4 scans! Two were at the ER and 2 were formal ultrasounds.

PrincessTaz-I can see what you're saying. Even if I do lose the baby, it will be nice to have people to talk to and comfort me. I think that's why I told my family and a couple of close girlfriends.

I'm thinking I'm going to hold off until after the anatomy scan, but I might tell the roomies sooner. I'm starting to show a bit depending on what I wear (I've already had 2 strangers comment) :/ So, I might not have a choice soon....

Bicorn we kept it secret for as long as possible which for some people was not that long as I showed really early on. My two older brothers still don't know although I'm seeing them Sunday so I'll have to tell them then, it's pretty obvious anyway! And quite a few of our friends don't know just because we don't see them that often. We really wanted to keep the news to ourselves for as long as possible

I had a really realistic dream last night that I drank a cocktail. In my dream I knew I was pregnant but I was pretending I wasn't really sure just because I wanted this drink so much. So I drank it and felt really guilty. I woke up still feeling guilty. Was a relief to realise it was just a dream!

 

[PrincessTaz]

Pregnany dreams can be awful can't they, there so realistic! I keep having an awful one where I'm on labour but I know something isn't right, the pain is just horrific and the next thing I'm being taken for an emergency c section and they put my to sleep. When I wake up everyone is telling me there is no baby and I was never pregnant but I know own I was andistracted nobody will believe me. It's horrible, I've had it a few times xx

 

[SweetV]

now I want a glass of wine (and then a cocktail!)!

I'm 16 weeks now and still have only told my mom and my boss. Not even my DH's parents or our kids know . Not sure when we will tell them but I already feel huge so it will have to be soon.

I had my first MFM appt today and they are 99% sure we are team . Will answer the poll after they confirm at anatomy scan in 3 weeks. They showed me between the legs and I think I am so stunned after 3 boys I couldn't just believe them even though I saw myself.

Side note - does anybody know why when I hit "show first unread" for this thread it takes me to the last post and not where I left off? It is only for this thread.

Bicornbump, we still have only told my best friend and my mom (and only her because she guessed.) We haven't told OH's family yet at all. In our case, it's because we already have two close in age and I feel like we're going to get a lot of crap for it. Plus, it's terrible timing as OH just lost his job and now we don't really know what to say to people! But oh well. I feel like I'll have to come clean soon.

SweetV, congrats on the (probably) team pink!

 

[broodymrs]

That is awful taz!

Sweet v that made me laugh. The only thing I'm really craving this pregnancy is booze! Clearly I'm not drinking but omg I want to! Congrats on probably team pink! I always get that with the threads, always have even on different phones, computers etc so didn't realise that wasn't how it was supposed to be

 

[sarah0108]

Me too! I often just sit and crave a glass of cold wine

 

[PrincessTaz]

I'm really miss my wine lol, not even gonna lie. When I went out for a meal at the weekend and everyone else was enjoying wines and cocktails at my birthday meal, I wanted to punch then all haha.

SweetV how exiting you'll be having little girl, I'll keep everything crossed nothing changes for you.

Xx

 

[salamander91]

We've told my parents, my sister, hubs parents and most of his siblings. We'll probably announce to extended family through FB (my family live in England and we're in NI so wont see them). We have to wait until we've told hubs brother and wife but we're avoiding for now because they've had a lot of miscarriages and an accidental pregnancy so soon after our last baby wont go down well. We'll have to tell them soon though.

Congratulations on your girl sweetv!

I've been feeling more wiggles recently and last night felt 3 distinct kicks! It's so lovely

 

[sarah0108]

Same taz, when my other half is sat chilled with a beer in an evening/weekend it makes me so angry lol! I've even cried a few times about it..

Definitely blaming that one on hormones!

 

[sarah0108]

So here is my last bump picture before I find out if I'm carrying boys or girls

16+6 with twins

 

[Oxygen7880]

Good luck for your scan later. I'm going to guess two girls

 

[salamander91]

Good luck with your scan Sarah x

 

[sarah0108]

Thank you!

 

[broodymrs]

I thought that was going to be an update Sarah!! Keeping us in suspense 😀

 

[sarah0108]

Haha nope! Not until tonight

I'm unsure now! I thought boy/girl and then boy/boy and now I'm clueless haha I'm also excited but nervous!! I genuinely have 3 options of what they could be.

Eeeep

 

[mirandaprice]

Bicorn- the doppler has saved me! Hearing that heartbeat has saved me so many dr trips

Sarah - I hope the two Littles cooperate for your gender scan today!

I have a stinkin cold!! I'm so upset, so much snot, enough to make me gag and vomit...and with a stuffy nose it's so horrible to get sick.

I can't believe some of us are already so close to halfway!
