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

[03babysquish]

I have one boy who is 23 months old (I can't bring myself to say two yet, it goes too fast!). I am open to having another after this one, but I am twenty nine right now, and want to wait a few years to do so. So probably a third, but not in any rush

My boy that is baking in the belly has been VERY active lately. Kick and moving all over the place. Anyone else?

 

[broodymrs]

Very active day today. I can finally see the kicks from outside so hopefully dh will feel it soon

 

[kmpreston]

If I recall correctly at least one of you ladies is a teacher in the U.K. (Like me). When are you planning to start your mat leave?

Thanks everyone for their kind comments. And congratulations on all the pink bumps.

I have one boy who was one a couple of weeks ago. I have always wanted 3 or 4 children but as I am finding this pregnancy quite tough and we are worried about finances this may be our last.

Kmpreston I am a teacher. I haven't told anyone yet but I am hoping to start my maternity leave at the end of feb half term (so I get full pay for half term) but I may struggle to get that far and as we are hopefully moving before the baby is due I might go earlier to get everything sorted first.
With my first I finish at 37 weeks and found it hard at the end and I I wasn't even teaching then as we had just come back from the summer holidays and they didn't give me a timetable for 2 weeks of term.

This is definitely our last baby. I find pregnancy so hard. Dh only wants two kids anyway and while I'd like two, possibly 3, for the sake of my health we'll call it quits at 2. Was considering getting sterilised during my c section but dh thinks it would be too mentally hard for me. I'm also toying with the idea of donating my eggs at a later date so clearly sterilisation isn't a good idea in that case! Again though, dh isn't keen on that idea. He's fully prepared to get the snip though.

broodymrs - if you get your tubes tied you would still be able to donate eggs as they extract them directly from the ovaries and they don't need to travel down the fallopian tubes like if you were to try to get pregnant naturally.

This will be our last, although I was thinking DS2 would be our last but I changed my mind I'm pretty sure 3 is my limit and it was way too stressful trying to get pregnant so the only way I would have a 4th would be if it was a "surprise". I'm not sure DH will be game enough to get the snip so I will have to work out what to do.

This is our first baby

We have had two miscarriages prior to this and after 2 years of trying we are thinking this will be our only child - we aren't going to try again but once baby is two I may ntnp and see what happens. As all three pregnancies were clomid babies I don't expect anything to happen naturally for us.

then again only time will tell - DH and I both only want one now (because of the stress of trying, and so we can afford to take them on holiday every year) but - he wants to try again if this is a girl as he really wants a son and I really want a daughter so I think we will end up trying again

Never say never! 5 rounds failed Clomid. 2 years NTNP, 5 years super try hard all resulted in nothing but BFN. This past July, after (nearly)giving up, selling the old baby gear, BFP all natural and here we are at almost 21 weeks So it can happen.

Congrats to all the other team pink and team blue ladies!

We have one 7 year old little girl, another little girl due in March and I have told hubby we can do this one more time in the hopes of getting a boy, assuming all ends well for me in this pregnancy

 

[hhimayy]

We have one daughter who will be 5 in january. We never planned on having more until last fall when I did not want to be on birth control any longer and DH brought up the idea of a sibling. This will definitely be our last. We would like to be able to financially spoil them every so often and go on trips.

We have finally decided on the name Dawson so I am excited he has a name. My daughter made him his own netflix profile so it's official lol

 

[bicornbump]

Congrats on all the scans- blues and pinks!!!

This is my first baby and a total surprise!
I honestly never thought I would have kids, so this has been quite a shock to my system

 

[SweetV]

This is my last as well and already feeling overwhelmed knowing I'll never be pregnant again. It's number 4 for my DH though and number 3 for me and that seems like plenty as I only ever wanted 1 lol.

 

[kmpreston]

I don't need seem to be able to change my vote in the poll but despite intending to stay team yellow baby was determined to give us a potty shot as we were being shown my low and anterior placenta.

So

It's a girl!!

 

[mirandaprice]

Congrats kmpreston!

 

[TattyHead]

Aww bless her kmpreston...She clearly wanted you to know!

 

[justplay91]

Congrats on all the scans! Team pink might be catching up!

 

[kmpreston]

Aww bless her kmpreston...She clearly wanted you to know!

Thanks!! That's exactly What I said! I turned to DH and said. Erm, darling, baby is showing us what it is, so I think we had better find out - cause really I already know!!" So he gave in and asked what it was. The tech said there's no question it's a little lady

 

[broodymrs]

Aw that's so cute. Congrats on pink!

I didn't know that ttc bubby!

I feel like rubbish. Been battling a sore throats since Sunday and my voice has finally disappeared 😟

 

[Mrs. Tigger]

Hi Ladies!

Just checking in (I've been busy and basically away from the boards). But we just had our 20 week scan and everything looks perfect and exactly as it should be.

Also, we found out we're having a BOY! There are no boys in this generation on my husband's side, so we're quite excited.

 

[Mattsgirl]

Hey ladies, we had our 20 week scan. And as far as the tech could tell we are having a GIRL but she was butt down so it was a little hard to tell.

But our little ones head was measuring a week and a half behind the rest of her body. So we have another ultrasound next month to make sure it has caught up. I was just wondering if anyone else had gone through this. At this point my doctor isn't worried but we can't help but be a little scared.

 

[Ellivort]

I went to my OB on Wed and all is looking healthy with Miss Ariya, except they didn't get good enough shots of the heart in the anatomy scan so I have to go back on Fri. The technician did mention that to me that her position was not great. I'm a little nervous since the heart is such an important organ!

I don't think Ariya has moved position wise as I still feel her little flutter kicks down really low.

Counting down until Friday and hoping this U/S shows all is well with the heart!

 

[mirandaprice]

Congrats on team blue ms tigger, and congrats on team pink Mattsgirl!

I hope the scan this week shows her head growth catching up!


Elli- I had to have a rescan for the spine with my little one. She was so wriggly they couldn't get a clear enough picture, everything turned out fine....was your baby moving a lot? If they were in a bad position it can be hard to get accurate measurements
