[alphabook]

March 2017 continued!

Glad you're home and doing ok Cant.

Tigger I was really badly constipated during the week, I found having plenty of fruit and water sorted it out.

Cant nice to hear you're home.

Charly your "anecdote" was both and . Pregnancy, birth and motherhood are filled with gloriously unglamorous moments such as the one you described.

Feeling sorry for myself today, with constant waves of nausea and hunger. Had to go outside this evening to escape the cooking smells, where I picked a sprig of mint to hold under my nose during dinner. Glad I have told the in-laws as I would have found it difficult to act "normally"!

I even had a desperate look at my notes from my last pregnancy to try and work out when I might start feeling better (bearing in mind I've only been really suffering for the last few days...). Turns out my scan was at 13+3 and I think I started to feel more like myself around then, perhaps a little before [sigh]. Still, I know it could be a lot worse!

I'm 5 weeks too Tigger and was born in 1987 too

After feeling terrible and my trip to the doctor yesterday I've felt great today. We went to Secret Cinema and with the way I've been feeling and the heat I was dreading it. But I had a little afternoon nap before I went and I felt really well, no nausea, plenty of energy... The only downside was all the amazing looking cocktails my friends were drinking that I missed out on. Roll on 4 March!

Slept really well last night, you just cannot beat your own bed! And getting so many lovely cuddles from my kids, had never been away from them so long before!! Dh back to work tomorrow, well that's the plan, I'm still very sore so not sure how I'll manage but have to try!

Actually when I was in hospital my room was overlooking the courtyard and with all the windows open I could hear lots of newborn babies crying, like I'm pretty sure the sound was coming from the labour ward so it was brand spanking new babies I was hearing, it's such an amazing sound, really brought it home to me that I'm actually pregnant!!!!!

ahsan and tigger me three!

yah think this will be a big birth year for the 1987 clan. Congrats 5tardusty.

I was also born in 1987, baby will be arriving just before my 30th birthday!

I'm due just after mine alphabrook so with a bit of luck i will be ginormous on my birthday!

I actually delayed TTC until after my 30th birthday so I could get drunk at my party To be fair there were other factors but that was one!! I'm 30 now and will be 31 when baby is born.

I'm similar namechange baby is due a couple of days after my 31st

I'm 1987 too, will be almost 8m pg on my 30th!

purple I wonder if baby will arrive on your actual birthday! My friend's baby was born just a few days before hers

Thanks Skip for updating the list. I dont kno how I did it but I totally miscalculated my due date I am actually the 27th! Told my mum I got it wrong and she was gutted becase the 20th is her birthday.

My thoughts are with everybody not feeling 100%. I had a bit of nausea today but it gave me an excuse to eat all the food as 'little everything and often' is supposed to help!

My estimated due date is a couple of days after my birthday as well, so that'll be me, dp, new baby and dps dd all with birthdays in march
Poor ds will feel like March is birthday month for everyone other than him! (He's august!)

Oh and forgot to say- thank you everyone who answered my question about booking appointment thing! seems to be different for different areas so I'll give the scary receptions a call and ask what to do

Elsamars, thanks for asking, unfortunately everything wasn't ok... I miscarried at the end of last week. Got to have a scan tomorrow to confirm everything has gone.

fx could you take me off the list when you next do it please?
