March 2014?

[Teddybear4]

Hi

Is there an antenatal thread for March 2013?

If not, can I start one? I've just found out Im expecting our third (and final!!) baby, due 4 March.

Fingers crossed tightly for a smooth ride (I had early bleeds with both my previous pregnancies).

Anyone else out there yet?

thanks mtb - that's reassuring thank you! my main worry is that if i was 5 weeks today and i conceived on 27/06 and got a BFP only 3 or 4 days later! just seems weird! ah well!

mummy glad everythings ok!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one suffering, I feel like I've lost all motivation - I'm just so tired...

MTB I'm undecided if I'm bloated or showing a little too. I keep getting little muscle spasms which look like little kicks which is freaking me out cos bean hasn't even got legs yet.lol. Think it's my body preparing to stretch.

Grey I was 7wks pg when I got my BFP with DD (was still BFing DS so no proper periods) so when I made my booking appointment they took my implantation bleed to be a light period to work out my dates. Explained the extra light period to my Dr, she found a heartbeat and got me a scan for the next week with blood tests in between and my scan showed I was 14wks!! So it was all go with the necessary early tests but all was fine.

Wow this moves quick, I can't keep up!

Went to see GP today, she was lovely, reassured me about medication and previous cervical treatment which was good. And referred me for an early scan to work out dates as no clue when I'm due - last period end of march but negative tests in June. Just have to sit and wait for the letter now. She did put me down as high risk because of my weight, which I completely expect as I'm huge but does anyone know what that might mean later on?

Not feeling too bad today which is nice, perhaps because I'm working from home and didn't have to get the tube. I also feel like I'm expanding but perhaps thats the doughnuts I ate last night... Although my DH does think I'm a slightly different shape.

Could someone add my sats please as no idea how on my iPad: 28, first baby, no idea when I'm due but guess early to mid march.

I think I started to show immediately! I think my abdominal muscles have recognised I'm pregnant and gave up on life.

Although to be fair I don't think I ever got back to looking not pregnant after DS!

Hi! Just checking in.

Still not convinced I'm pg despite all four tests saying yes ...

I am bloated though, and maybe a bit gassy

Looking forward to my GP appointment next week, maybe it will feel real after that?

I feel like crap, think i have a uti going on...slept all of today again and running a temp....waiting for the doc to call me...urghhhhh this bloody heat...

blockette I am the same but it was a few more than 4! although I haven't done one for about five days....might be due another

i felt the same about bloating, i honestly looked really pregnant, but those dried apricots really do the trick...

Nice one mtb!

I'm really struggling. I went back to work today and shouldn't have. My head isn't in the right space to be doing the type of work I have to do.

At least it's Friday and I have a family weekend coming up

FirstTime, I'm no expert but I think if you're morbidly obese (I hate that phrase, but I don't know what other words to use) you are at risk of premature birth, emergency caesarean, high bood pressure and gestational diabetes. I wouldn't google it if I were you as there's precious little you can do about it now and you will probably be allocated consultant care throughout your pregnancy anyway. I hope you have a trouble-free pregnancy...and congratulations!.

Sorry everyone's feeling shit. Look on the bright side eh? We're preggo!

Thinking of you, Frank, and the horridly slow passage of time until tomorrow. You'll be fine, I promise.

Think I've given up on trying to get anything productive done with this day.

Just felt awful today - think I'll listen to my body and head to bed with my book.

frank good luck tomorrow, i also have a scan tomorrow in the morning.....will keep everything crossed.....
Saw my doc tonight, he seems to think my body is in shock!!! Hehehe...he was really nice, he was the same doc who referred me for sterilisation 3 months ago!!!
Hoping this groggy feeling will pass soon.x

Hi everyone,

Good luck w/ the scan Frank!

My Mw app got cancelled today as apparently I have to go to the hospital for my first appointment. Booked for next Fri.

Fell asleep on my friend's sofa today whilst my ds played. Oops!

I've felt awful today too and v nauseous as I read to the DCs this arvo. I read very quickly and then downed some ginger beer - good for sickness and v refreshing in this heat! The sickness is definitely getting worse but I've not been actually sick yet. Am 7 weeks on Saturday. (sourstones we are due date buddies - today has definitely been my worst day so far)

@ Little Machine: I still carry 10kg from last time and I guess I'll be over 100kg this time :(. Dreading the fact that I'm too big for my old maternity stuff.

Other question: is someone still breastfeeding? I swear that ds started to have tandrums since conception like he taste's the hormones? I am a little scared to have a 2 year old and a baby .... Especially if he has tandrums already.

souredstones I mean not sourstones!

Shall we start a new thread, we're close to 1000 already and I think for now we have everyone on the bus....

Good luck frank and stephie for tomorrow - of to bed with my book can't keep my eyes open.

Thaleia, I'm not sure about kg but I still had a stone to lose and put on 4st with my first pregnancy. I think it was because I had hyperemesis, so once I could eat again, when it was managed better with meds I didn't stop eating ever !

I've been very sick today and I think I'm only 5+5. It doesn't bode well. Can't wait to break up from school, but then will have to try and look after my toddler while battling sickness.

But I do keep reminding myself how lucky I am. My poor SIL and DB found out their IVF failed on Friday They don't know about me yet.

Oh Little, that is sad. Will they get another crack at it?

I have given myself a fright. I had GD in my last pregnancy, diagnosed at 30 weeks. I've just had half a big dairy milk and I have the weird feeling in my throat that I always got when my sugars had gone loopy :( Think I might need to drop the midwife an email tomorrow and see if I can get my GTT ridiculously early. I don't think it will be a good result.

I can't believe we have nearly filled a thread already. Just think, eight more threads at this speed and some of us will have their babies.

Sorry, I am a self-absorbed sod. I hope tomorrow goes well Frank and Stephie and you both get lovely clear heartbeats on screen.

good luck tomorrow those with scans and appts! xx

Other question: is someone still breastfeeding?
Well its not me! My youngest is 14!!

Good luck for tomorrow those who have scans etc.

Church toddler group in the morning should be lovely and cool. It's pyjama day at school tomorrow, ds isn't going to be happy!
