Brewing a March baby!

[Carlitawantsababy]

Hello! I've just found out that I'm pregnant and due on the 23rd March! I'm 29 and live in London with my husband, dog and cat. So far at 4 weeks things are going very smoothly! I'm very excited about going to the doctor (even if they don't care) as feel it will make things more real!
If you're expecting in March too please join the thread and share a bit about yourself and how your pregnancy is going!

Hey Pekka how did the scan go?

Hope everyone is well! Very exciting with all the scans and hitting the half way mark! I got my first tummy rub from a stranger the other day, didnt mind too much as she was a nurse at the Drs practice, the other nurse who is 29 weeks along did give me a look of sympathy though, she must get it a lot.
I have been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel syndrome in both arms which has been a real pain - literally! Apparently it is quite often brought on by pregnancy - Any body else got it? Its usually worse of a morning when i can barely move my arms and cannot hold onto anything. It should go after I have the baby but if not will have to have an op! But other than that all is good, tummy is still growing, waist has virtually disappeared, just waiting to feel those kicks now.

Ooh dorcas, painful! I haven't had it but had overheard a few pregnant women being treated for it when I've been for acupuncture. Do they do acupuncture where you are in Zambia?

My obs gave me a number of a reflexologist but I am back in the UK in 6 weeks (yey!!!) so I will have to arrange something there as well. This pregnancy lark certainly throws up a few surprises along the way!

Hi all! How're you doing? All exciting with me, the baby has really starting moving since yesterday (well, I've started feeling it) before I was getting a movement a day now it's practically all the time! Tiny kicks, somersaults and general dancing, it is just wonderful and amazing, feeling very fuzzy about it [soppygrin]

yo. i'm doing good carlita i've been feeling quite distinctive taps/thuds now quite low down so presume thats the baby having a kick. cant wait till my scan on tue... is it a boy is it a girl......................AGHHH the excitement is killing me!!!!

Carlita - good luck to your scan! You will enjoy seeing your baby, s/he will seem almost ready to come out :) Ours seemed to have a personality, he was boxing with the scanner :)

Moffit - The scan went very well, thank you for asking :) We are having a little boy! we were undecided whether we will find out, so we asked the MW to write the sex on a piece of paper. We read the paper that same evening :)

I have also felt the baby move for a few weeks now. It has been more quiet lately, but hopefully he will start kicking again!

Good news on everyone's scans and wrigglings!
I'm off up to stay in London for a couple of days- hoping to find some good maternity jeans if I can cope with the scrum of Oxford Circus.
Good luck with the house hunt Carlita.
Hope you all have a good weekend. X

Thanks kiki, we're swapping for the weekend! Have a good one and enjoy the scrum!

Hello March mummies, it has been a quite weekend on here, how is everyone doing?

Any plans for Halloween? I'm off work today, so just sitting here trying to decide what to carve in my pumpkin. Got my niece and nephew coming round after school so gotta get it ready........also got the sweets at the ready for my lovely neighbours children! [hsmile]

Hello! I'm sitting here getting nervous about my scan tomorrow. I've had a look thru all the stuff they are checking for tomorrow and have worried myself now as they check for so much. Scan is a 1pm tomorrow. Keep everything crossed for me!x

I'm sure it will go fine, Feekerry. Good luck! Mine's not 'til next Friday.

Hope you all had a good weekend. I bought a few maternity things- two nice pairs of trousers (skinny soft jeans & a tweedy pair) from Topshop. The H&M maternity range is rubbish, I thought. Went shopping with my mum, which was fun but took about five times as long as usual, so I didn't get to go around as many places as I'd hoped. Still, my folks made a nice fuss of me. Have been a bit bombarded with baby catalogues.

Moffit, I saw a great pumpkin carved with bats.

Carlita- did you see any good houses?

X

It'll be great feekerry just try to focus on getting to see your little one again!
No plans for Halloween moffit even though it is my favourite! I've been so busy and have totally overdone it physically, as a result PGP is worse than ever so am on strict house rest until Wednesday!
kiki yes, we found our perfect house! It's a repo so too scared to give details online as we could be gazumped at any moment but very, very happy and if it all works out will be there mid December! thanks for all your help!

Ooh, fingers crossed, Carlita. Take it easy.

Good luck for tomorrow feekerry I'm sure everything will be fine and baby fee will wave at you with his/her little limbs. Let us know how you get on xx

How did it go feekerry?

Hi everyone. Will keep this very brief as our internet is broken and has taken me an hour just to log on. All went well with scan. Everything within normal measurements but they couldn't tell me the sex which I was gutted about as felt it was more wouldn't than couldn't as she looked for about 5 seconds then said no cant tell you so I managed to squeeze in for a private scan tomorrow to find out gender. Will attempt to log on to update tomorrow but the main thing is there is a very happy and healty baby in there!x x

Congratulations feekerry wonderful news! Glad you're able to get another scan tomorrow too, I've not booked the 4D scan I bought for that exact reason!

That's great all is well, Feekerry- and hope you find out the sex today. I was asked by a friend if I was going to find out if it was a baboon or giraffe, and those nicknames have stuck in this house! X

Glad to hear all is well with your little one feekerry. Hope the private scan goes well today!!

Good news about the house Carlita, hope all works in your favour!

Are you all planning on finding out the sex? We dont want to know......but think we might be in the minority.........got our scan on Tuesday, so only 6 days to go!

Hi ladies. Again just a brief update from me due to internet issues. . . But. . . It is most def a she now!! GIRL GIRL GIRL! Also if any of you are considering a private scan do it! We got some 3d pictures which are amazing. She looks just like my partner. I'm sitting here in awe. What an amazing experience. X

That's brilliant, feekerry! X

Congratulations feekerry a little girl, how exciting, makes it feel so real I bet?! Going to have the private scan at 30 weeks (providing we find out the sex on Friday) and am super excited about it now you've said yours was wonderful!
moffit we have had so many negative reactions to wanting to find out, it's bizarre, people ask if we're finding out, I say yes and they say oh. and look disappointed, very odd. To me they are both amazingly exciting options!

Congratulations feekerry! Does it make it feel more real now that you know that you are having a girl? Have you already decided on a name or will you start making decisions now that you know?

C'mon feekerry's Internet! We want details. And pictures.
