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

[bicornbump]

My 20 week scan is tomorrow! So excited but a bit nervous too.

I'm also dreading the no sleep stage. Ds has always been a pretty rubbish sleeper so I'm not getting decent sleep now but when we have a really bad night it reminds me of just how bad it gets. Saying that when ds was a newborn he used to sleep in til about 11 so I actually wasn't that tired but it will be very different this time with a toddler who doesn't sleep in!

How was your scan? Mine is tomorrow and I'm so nervous! Gah!

Eli my anatomy scan is the 4th too

I haven't been commenting much but there's not much to report here besides being constantly ravenous! Currently enjoying a bath while DS naps. Ahhhh... this is the life I barely shower with one child, can't imagine what it'll be like with a newborn and a toddler.

I quit my job after my first. I hated it. Went part time elsewhere for a while, then DH graduated finally and we can do ok off his income. It's worth it for us to live more simply so I can be home.

I just started a new job right before I found out I was pregnant, and I actually really like it, my boss is so understanding and sympathetic.

I started having indigestion yesterday, my throat was on fire and I was burping all afternoon...it makes me wanna cry thinking this could continue or get worse for another 20 weeks haha

as to mood swings, just a little teary eyed here and there so no little house and some things get on my nerves but no out and out anger but this is how i am most of the time (esp being teary eyed with af)

i am a substitute teacher so working per diem when i can but mainly staying home with my little guy. i love teaching but would prefer my own class instead of subbing.

been feeling way less tired (still there of course but able to function now) and nausea has subsided, i guess the second tri upswing is in effect.

miranda i soo feel you i have heartburn too (throughout the pregnancy) and starting to have hip joint aches.

hhimayy i'm right there with you, movements for me have been sporadic and light enough to question if it's gas or baby so ... waiting for more definite movements here as well.

heard the baby's heartbeat (in 150's) at my last ob appt and all was good according to my ob. my us is coming up on the 27th and i can't wait to see this little one for the first time! (yes first time, my ob only does us for the 20 week scan unless there is an issue) unfortunately i will be 21 weeks at the time of the scan so i have to wait an extra week

hope all the ladies on here are doing well other than some mood swings!

We are team blue!!

Scan took ages as little man wouldn't cooperate and I've still got to go back for a rescan for spine measurements.

I also might have arthritis 😱 I'm only 30! Went to the dr to ask about this joint pain and she thinks it's that, apparently it can come on in pregnancy. Got to go for bloods to confirm it. I'm really hoping it's not that

 

[mirandaprice]

Congrats on team blue broodymrs!!

Mibabyhopes, my scan is the same day!

 

[MiBabyHopes]

broody - sorry to hear about possible arthritis, that stinks but congrats on team blue!

miranda - haha love it, scan buddies! are you finding out gender or are you going to be surprised? we would love to find out if the baby cooperates that is!

 

[mel102]

Congratulations on team blue broodymrs another boy to add to the group. Sorry about your possible arthritis hopefully it's not that

My scan is in a couple of days I really can't wait I hope my little bean cooperates I really want to know if am team pink or blue

 

[justplay91]

My scan is November 4th too. Seems like a popular date for anatomy scans here! I'm so nervous, but since it's still over two weeks away, I'm trying not to think about it too much.

 

[justplay91]

Congrats on team blue, broodymrs! That's a big bummer about the possible arthritis, though.

 

[03babysquish]

I have made the facebook group secret now. If anyone wants to be added just message me and we can get it coordinated!

Congrats on all the team blue!!!

 

[salamander91]

Congratulations on team blue bloodymrs!

 

[SweetV]

Yay for team blue broodymrs! I hope it's not arthritis as well!

I also had my 20 week scan today and confirmed we are team pink

I love my job but I work really, really long hours and would love something a little closer to home (an hour travel in both direction, and 9-10 hour shifts).

My LO already doesn't sleep and I'm getting hormonal wondering how I'm going to manage a toddler and a newborn with zero sleep and my DH that picks up extra hours when I'm off. I was almost in tears the other day but DH and I decided that they will sleep in different rooms (the plan was to keep them together as we are limited on space) so that at the very least they aren't waking each other up. That made me feel a little better.

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats sweet v. That's my worry about them waking each other up as our house is pretty small so even in seperate rooms I think they'll hear each other.

 

[salamander91]

I worried about that when DD was born because DS was such a light sleeper but they don't seem to disturb each other. We even have a monitor for Flynn in our room and it doesn't disturb cora at all when he cries and she's never woken him up even with teething screams x

Congratulations sweetv

I've edited the main page

Had my scan on Monday, all those nerves for nothing. I literally didn't sleep a wink the night before. Was so so nice to see baby again. As you'll be able to see from my picture I definitely do have anterior placenta and it looks like it's squishing poor baba's face. Baby was super wriggly but I couldn't feel anything and also explain why all my movements are low down as my placenta stops just before baby's feet. All measurements were perfect but they did say the fluid in the kidneys seems high but not to worry as it's a common thing. They will re-check them at my 28 week scan and would expect everything to be normal. We resisted the urge to find out the gender so still team yellow although we both think we may have caught a glimpse of a little willy lol.

Here's my beautiful little baby...


Last night I felt the most movement I've ever felt and it was so nice, still not regular and I've noticed anything I do feel is always on a night so we have a night owl lol.

I'll probably starting counting kicks around 24 weeks if they're more regular by then.

Also no birth plan this time as everything I wanted did NOT happen first time around and I was a bit gutted so going to go with the flow this time. If all does go well though I would like a home birth xx

 

[hhimayy]

Taz my placenta looked exactly like that as well. As soon as I posted yesterday about movements he was super fiesty the rest of the day but really only in my lower region. Today already I've felt him quite a bit. On cloud 9 now.

How is everyone doing with names? We had a girl name picked out since I was positive he was a girl but now we have been thrown for a loop. I think we currently have 15 boy names on the table.

Gah! So cuteeee!

I have my scan today...we'll find out the gender.
I think I'm more nervous than excited!

 

[mel102]

Lovely scan taz glad all is well

Good luck at your scan bicornbump

As for baby names we are finding it really hard to agree on names we both like
