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

I'm seeing my ob more often then with my last pregnancy, but that's due more to spotting then policy...not sure how it is for other US ladies, but it's same apps with every pregnancy, basically every 4 weeks until about 32 weeks, then every 2, etc..unless issues occur like spotting, uti, infection...or like me I see two drs. My regular obgyn and a specialist to monitor my bp and make sure I don't get pre-e again..as apparently once you've had it it's more likely in subsequent pregnancies.

It's hard to believe that were almost if not all over half way already!

That is interesting about the Pre-E as I was told it was more common with first pregnancies or if you have a baby with a new dad. It may also depend how severe it was though, mine was only picked up at the end and I got induced at 40wks with my first. I was fine second pregnancy so I'm not too concerned this time.

ttc bubby no2 yeah Ill be seeing the same midwife all the way through but will also be seeing consultants for growth scans along side that x

Had a scan with fetal specialist today. Bubs is maleasuring 4 says ahead and in the 5th percentile so no growth restriction at this point. Still no markers of abnormalities. Was fun to see him again. He is now 2lbs and spans from my upper left rib with bum at my pelvis and feet up closer to right rib. Already squished.

 

[PrincessTaz]

hhimayy wow 2lbs already, it's crazy how big they're getting and how much room they're taking up. I still imagine baby beung able to swim about in there lol x

Looks like it has gotten a little quiet in here now that we're all mostly passed that 20wk scan hump and American Thanksgiving/Black Friday.

I was shocked to not see any new post!

hope everyone is doing well!!

Think it's livlier on Facebook. I'm knackered. Just got back from Disney. 6 months preggo walking around all day isn't the smartest idea. My ankles have ballooned, I've got banging head and am exhausted. Got loads to do but I'm sacking it all off and resting. Need to keep this baby and mummy healthy and strong

Which Disney were you at? I can't wait to take bubba next year!

 

[broodymrs]

Disneyland Paris. I'd never been before having kids, we've been 3 times now!

We have just booked Florida for November 2017 - this will be our third trip since we got married!

I'm going to disney in January, Orlando. I live about 3 hrs south, so grew up going all the time. I'm so excited to see how much my son will love it!

This week has been the shittiest week so far.. long story short, I spent Tuesday night for 5 hrs in the ER for my son. Thursday all day Inn the ER for my husband, he was admitted upstairs around 5 pm, spent Friday morning from 4am to 6am in the ER myself, finally got to take my husband home 5pm friday.

GI bugs are no joke.

 

[broodymrs]

Oh no Miranda, that sounds horrendous. Hope everyone on the mend now

Insomnia is killing me. So tired All. The. Time.

i've also developed this undeniable craving for pepperoncinis, a hot pepper, which inevitably give me heart burn. EVERY.TIME! I'm buying stock in Tums company lol.

Also this weekend I just suddenly started feeling " really pregnant". Bending down makes me a lil dizzy and restricts my breathing. I can't seem to find a comfortable sitting position because either my pack hurts or my diaphragm is impacted. If i stand for too long my feet super swell and my back aches!

I was doing ok until the weekend hit, now i'm definitely 100% feeling pregnant! Oy!

I was talking to hubby last night and told him, its possibly that in just 14 weeks our baby girl could be here! March seems so very far away, but 14 weeks seems so short! We still have so much to do!

 

[PrincessTaz]

I'm feel so pregnant too, I've already developed a waddle! Honestly I never felt like this with my son, even at 40 weeks when I was huge I felt great and was walking 3 miles a day right up to my waters breaking on my due date (while out on a walk lol).

 

[ttc bubby no2]

Yep feeling pretty pregnant here... and still possibly 15-17 weeks to go!

I got asked today how long I had to go by my sons teacher. I don't think she was expecting me to say not until March!

This morning I woke at 4am with a horrible pain under my belly to the left. I think it was round ligament pain but it was constant and very uncomfortable. Then in the morning I was struggling walking due to pelvic pain, luckily it improved so I have been able to get out and about a bit today.

 

[broodymrs]

I've had similar comments this week too bubby! If you can get a bump support (just the support bandage type are fine) that helps me loads with pelvic pain

 

[bicornbump]

After reading everyone's posts, I feel a little less bad about feeling like complete crap lately. I thought 25 weeks was too early to feel this way!

Anyone else experiencing really bad leg pain? I keep checking to see if there's any swelling, and there isn't, but they're so achy to the point I was in tears last night.

March can't get here soon enough!
