Anyone due in march??

[babydust27]

Found out on sunday that were expecting our first baby in march!! Some online due date calculators say the 8th and some say the 10th so im not quite sure which one is right!!

Ive got my 1st doctors appointment tomorrow to confirm things

Has anyone else got the BFP and wants to celebrate?

Withoutanet and bitzy - thinking of you. Try not to panic as spotting is so normal and doesn't necessarily mean anything, and nor do cramps.
The fact that the blood is brown is a good sign.
I spotted regularly in the 1st trimester with DS2.

I hope it eases up and is nothing more serious, I have been where you are though and understand your numbness and anxiety. Get a scan at A&e, the epu or even pay for private if you can xxx

Thinking of you withoutanet and bitzy, i've read it's quite common but I'm sure that doesn't make it any less frightening.

Hello, it's Pixelpeeper here, just gone back to my old name

hi everyone hope your all ok, and withoutanet and bitzy were all thinking of you

Im off work today for my 1st midwife appointment at 2pm, im a little nervous but excited too!!

Thinking of you withoutanet & bitzy - fingers crossed everything is fine. I had a bleed with DS1 & it was 'just one of those things' according to the hospital - not very helpful, but good to know everything was ok. Hope you guys have a similar story [virtual hugs!!]

Good luck for you app baby!

One thing that is puzzling me & I'm wondering whether any of your ladies have the same - I have 3 different due dates & I don't know which one to use! According to Babycentre I'm 7+6, according to my book I'm 7+5, & according to the docs I'm 7+2 . I know the dating scan will confirm but what do I use now

Sorry I know it's a minor thing to be fussing about!

Thank you for all of your kind words and support. Unfortunately we lost our baby yesterday. I hope to be back on this thread later in the year to read about how everyone is doing and to welcome your little ones into the world. x

I'm so sorry withoutnet thinking of you xxxx

I also found out this weekend that I am pregnant. Now 5 weeks. Expecting no2 27 March. Very excited, DD1 is now 20 months and quite into babies so hoping she will not feel left out with the new one.

Hi Ladies!!
I can hoefully join this group, my dd is 31st march... so Im only a very little bit pregnant. I have two boys already, 8 and 3 and had a missed miscarriage last nov., which was yuck, so cant will the weeks to pass fast enough until first scan. the doc is good at letting you have early scan if concerned, so I might ask for one at 8weeks...... a little gentle sobing in office and they cant meke the scan appt fast enough in my experience!!!!

so sorry withoutanet

Withoutanet I'm so so sorry. Life can be so unfair. Wishing you masses of luck for the future.

Withoutanet, Im really sorry about your news. Im on here again after a miscarriage, so it can turn around for you, when you are ready (it took me 6mths). doctors are not so sensitive about these things, it is your loss and your feelings and for you and your loved ones to know what you need. remember to take care of yourself, and that your hormones will be all over the place for a while too. you are in my thoughts.

withoutanet I'm so sorry to hear that, I really am. It sounds like a few of us have been there and can really understand how you feel, you poor thing, it's a horrible thing to go through.
Get plenty of rest and hope to see you posting on a new Ante natal thread soon xxx

Withoutanet - so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself

So sorry withoutanet :( U had my bloods done first thing this morning and tbh wish I had just asked for a scan. I have to have bloods done on friday too and won't know anything til Monday at the earliest. I do think it's over for me too. I've never felt right about this pregnancy tbh :( It's so hard not knowing one way or the other. I have plans with dp for the weekend and can think of nothing I want to do less.

Bitzy it's not too late to ask for a scan?
Go to A&E, take a book for the wait?

Bitzy, I know what you mean about it never feeling 'right' this time. I felt like that with the one I lost, and I used to say the same things, I felt sure something was wrong from day one. Turned out I was right, but I really hope that you are wrong :(

I really can't deal with taking ds down there tbh. The nurse I saw today was really lovely actually, she said if my HCG levels are fine she'll refer me for an urgent scan too just for my peace of mind. I am dreading having to call for my results on Monday, but tbh the results on Friday may tell us all we need to know. We'll see. Even though I had bleeding with ds I never felt the pregnancy was in danger iyswim. Bt now I just do. I've had no more bleeing, some very faint bworn streaks when I wipe still, but she said brown is reassuring. Am at home with ds now just running to the loo every hour or so to check. I'm going to drive myself crazy.

Withoutanet so sorry to hear your news - take care of yourself.

Bitsy how stressful for you . I really hope that it's nothing bad and just your little bean bedding in a bit more. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good HCG result. Is there not an EPU where you could self-refer? Our local hospital has one, and the waiting area is child-friendly (well, in comparison to a regular A&E) with toys, games etc.

Hi there

I've been lurking for a while, not wanting to tempt fate by joining this thread.

I'm 5 weeks today and this will be my second. I'm 44 (45 in Jan) so I know my odds are rubbish. I had a MC last November. Due at end of March, if I make it!

DS is 18 months so I'm hoping my body can do it again! Got all the usual symptoms (which I didn't have when I had the MC) so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I seem to have put on 1.5 pounds already, just when I had finally got back to my previous pre-pregnancy weight!

So sorry to hear about some losses. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have another MC. I'm expecting it to be honest and taking each day at a time. However its horribly upsetting to have a MC and not looking forward to that again!

I haven't told anyone yet, other than DP of course, and have no intention of doing so for a while. I may wait another 2 or 3 weeks before going to the docs to book in.

Hope the rest of you are keeping well.

hello newbies
lurkers - stop it! We're all in the same boat, you're not tempting anything by coming out of the closet.
My last PG was also a MC, show your face

I am tired. Not just sleepy - bone-achingly tired. I also have the biggest jugs in the whole world. Whilst I read these signs as positive, I need to get home, clean out chicken shit and cook for little darlings and then DH & me.

When what I want to do is go to sleep in the manky work loos and tell everyone to go do one.

Makka I've been guilty of lurking a fair bit. And of course it's because of my MC in late Mar/early April. But posting or not posting isn't going to make any difference to the outcome so I guess I should dive in a bit more! Am with you on the tiredness...although "tiredness" doesn't seem to do it justice. Yawning through meetings, falling asleep in work loos, falling asleep on the couch as soon as DS goes to bed...I know it's a good sign but still, I wish I had a bit more energy! Well done on taking the decision to shut down your photography gig for a while - a full time job & 2 DC with another on the way seems like plenty to me . PS your old name made me laugh out loud when I saw it this morning!

Zebedee congrats and welcome. An earlier MC does take away the joy at being pregnant - am also counting the days (6 weeks today) and hoping this one makes it.

Am off camping tomorrow - 5 days in West Wales with all my nieces and nephews (11 adults & 10 kids age 1-9 - DS will be loving all the fun with his cousins!). So have to pack an insane amount tonight, which will be interesting based on my current inability to stay awake past my son's bedtime! I'm also planning to not tell my family just yet, though reckon I'll end up telling my younger sister as she'll be suspicious as soon as she realises I'm off the drink! At least it'll help make the days pass faster...

So sorry withoutanet that's terrible news. Thinking of you. Hope to see you back on the boards soon.

Hi & welcome to the newbies - even more since this morning! Guess it goes to show we really are having a baby boom

Well, so much for working from home - I've managed about an hours work, then spent the rest of the day sprawled on the couch napping Haven't even managed to put the washer on so not only am I feeling exhausted & nauseous but guilty too! Hoping tomorrow will be a better day

The EPU won't allow self referrals, which surprised me tbh as they're such a fab unit from what I remember with ds. I do feel a bit better having had a lie down with ds, and waking up incredibly nauseated. No more blood today so maybe there is a chance it was just more implantation bleeding. I even got some ice cream in earlier in preparation for a pity party in front of the TV tonight. But I may just eat it in bed. Pixel, I too am at the 'fuck it' with the weight gain phase. If I get by this weekend in one piece I'll get back on the straight and narrow.

So sorry for the losses, I can't imagine how it must feel. Sending you hugs xxx

I'm still shattered but better than yesterday, am going to bed. Hours earlier than normal and grazing during the day to keep the sick feeling down, but got a belly now and feeling very fat!

Welcome to all the newbies/lurkers!
