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

[broodymrs]

Baby was healthy with no soft markers for any trisomy. So relieved and excited now.

It's a boy! We will have one of each. Complete starting from scratch tho which is okay.

Docs said I have an anterior placenta which is why I'm not feeling as much yet.

Congrats on team blue! I'm so pleased to be nearly halfway. I'm not really enjoying pregnancy. I love that I'm growing my child but I feel rubbish all the time. Currently having excruciating cramps again. Don't even know what they are 😟

Hhimayy, welcome to team blue and so happy to hear baby is healthy. Congrats!

 

[salamander91]

Congratulations on team blue hhimayy!

I feel like this pregnancy is going really fast too. I will be having a c section at 38 weeks so I have less than 20 weeks left! Eek! So unprepared for 2 babies under 1 lol

Thanks for making the FB page! joined - Lindsey T.

My anatomy/gender scan is next month and it feels like time is standing still. On Oct 4 I was telling myself only 1 month, but now on Oct. 11 its still nearly 4 weeks away! So impatient! I just want to know that all continues to be well and we are finding out sex so I'm excited for that as well!

Still not feeling as much movement as I remember with DD, but it was so very long ago. Its still early and I am a heavy set lady, so I am trying to be patient. Feeling more distinct movements would be so reassuring!

hope all continues to be well with everyone!

Is anyone else not doing a birth plan?

 

[broodymrs]

I'm not Sarah. I'm having a planned section so I'll just leave it to the Drs. My only wishes are delayed cord clamping if poss, skin to skin ASAP and I want to breastfeed. If anything dreadful happened then I'd want donor milk for the first few days of baby's life. Those are my only wishes so there's no point having a full on plan. Last time it completely went out of the window anyway

Is anyone else not doing a birth plan?

I'm not bothering this time. My labour was short and hard and literally non of my birth plan happened (no water, no calm,dark room, no skin to skin etc). So I'm just going to see how it goes this time. Really want skin to skin but last time I felt so sick after birth (no drugs) that I couldn't even hold my girl for around an hour


Ellivort: don't worry about the movement, it will increase as the weeks progress. I am on my second pregnancy and my placenta was posteria at my last scan so perfect for feeling any movement but I still have only felt a few mini kicks over the last few days. I'm also slim build so all seems perfect for feeling the baby early, but I'm not worried. You will soon feel the baby regularity.

This is my first pregnancy and definitely my last! I feel like I've been in and out of the ER non stop and I'm only 18 weeks (as of tomorrow).

This past weekend I had a ton of pressure and it felt like I had something in my vagina. I went to get checked, because I was scared it was my cervix (I have a bicornuate uterus which can be linked to an incompetent cervix). After having a pelvic exam they said my uterus is just tilted forward and low, and although uncomfortable it's nothing to worry about :/
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue. It's extremely uncomfortable!

 

[Mattsgirl]

No birth plan here either. I want an epi, skin to skin, and breastfeed. I know my labors go incredibly fast so I try not to get my heart set on anything.

I also haven't really felt anything yet. Every now and then when I'm laying flat I can feel something but most of the time nada. Hopefully in the next week or 2 we will all start feeling something.

I'll most likely be having a repeat c-section...so my only plans will involve what time to show up to the hospital and who will watch my son haha....if I can swing it, I may push for a vbac, but I'm not hopeful.


Today's been rough and emotional. I got a call from my son's daycare that he had been bitten by another child...I get to school to pick him up and was just speechless with how bad the bite was, and right on his face. I was and still am so upset. I'll be speaking with the school director tomorrow after I take James to the drs to have it looked at...how can a toddler be so malicious as to bite another toddler hard enough to leave actual teeth marks and draw blood?

 

[SweetV]

I'm also not going to bother with the birth plan. In the moment I will do whatever they ask of me no matter what I said initially so I'm not going to get my thoughts together only to be disappointed later.

Miranda when my DS was in kindergarten he was bitten hard enough to leave marks by another child and they were 5. It happens, but I was pretty upset too. I hope he is ok though!!

 

[broodymrs]

Miranda, ds got bitten a while ago too. They are tough little cookies and it's probably upset you more than him. Also, yes toddlers are vicious!

 

[jadza]

I'm gonna do up a birth plan this time. I didnt have one last time. I ended up with a short labor of 4 hours but very very intense contractions and I didnt get pain relief at all... no drugs at all not even gas cause my husband is dead set against them. This time I WANT DRUGS! So im gonna talk at length to my doctor at the hospital about getting an epidural

 

[salamander91]

I'll be having an elective so no birth plan really. I intend to ask for the removable stitches though instead of dissolvable though. I didn't like them.

 

[mirandaprice]

He's totally fine, no issues dropping him off at school...thankfully he wasn't traumatized by it. Took him to the drs this morning, he'll be on antibiotics and have a face cream to put on it. His teacher said they'll be keeping a much closer eye on the other child's now that they know he's a biter.

What bras do you ladies recommend? I need support and comfort, my current one is causing shoulder pain.

 

[broodymrs]

Mine are from m&s. Not sure if you're in the uk but I went and got fitted properly last pregnancy and I'm just recycling them this time around so probably wearing the wrong size but I'm comfy enough.

Don't know if I updated on here, went for physio yesterday for my diastasis recti, and apparently I also have pelvic girdle pain (think it's the same as spd). Super, really looking forward to getting heavier now then! 🙄
