March 2018 (Part 3)

[Poochieblue]

Hi, Just thought I would start this before we ran out of space on part 2 and we all got lost again :-)

Link to Part 2 here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2983783-March-2018-Part-2?

Hope that works and hope i'm not stomping on someone's toes xx

Welcome @belager, I've added you to the group list here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tra-r4sPwYtKVvTs_2IbX2W7j_a80vQkBNrNcNvy7Rs/edit?usp=drivesdk.

It's hard to keep calm waiting for the scan for me too @FlatWhite31, I get half persuaded that I've just gone mad and am having a phantom pregnancy. I forgot when yours is, is it tomorrow? Mine's Friday.

Mine is on Wednesday morning @Excited1203. The past few days have dragged so much!

Flat & Excited I said the same a couple of pages ago. I'm petrified it's all in my head! Mines not until the 31st, which feels ages! I'll be almost 13 weeks then.

I think I also was a bit keen when I said I'm starting to feel better, had the most horrendous weekend, vomiting and exhaustion are terrible!

Hi all! Hi all. I'm tentatively joining this group after thinking I had a miscarriage but finding out on holiday (after more bleeding) that I am indeed still pregnant. Due at end of March. Have a scan tomorrow to see what's going on. Fingers crossed, the little bean is still soldiaring on! xx

Welcome belager and rainbows. Good luck with the scan tomorrow rainbows

I am now back home from hospital with 5 tablets a day to take but feeling a bit better.
I am crossing fingers all goes well and cannot wait to have my scan on 29th to check on the little one!

Welcome RainbowsandUnicorns2 and hope all goes well with the scan tomorrow.

Glad you are home Orange and hope the medication helps.

I've sent links to everyone who has messaged me about the Facebook group but if anyone can't get access or would like to join, just send me a private message with your email address (for Facebook) on and I will send you the link.

Oh rainbow what a rollercoaster for you! Sending positive thoughts for tomorrow!

Just messaged you fuzzy, was reluctant at first and was going to wait until the scan, but hey ho!

Welcome rainbows how stressful but what a great outcome!! & welcome to you and Belager 🖑
fuzzy Your a good'en xx

10days to my scan.. 11 until my hols getting impatient now hehe!

Evening all is anyone with dc already starting to show? I'm 11 weeks but look unmistakably pregnant over last few days I look at least 4 months. I'm worried how big I'm going to end up if im already this big now. Definitely didn't show this early last time.

I think i am haha, and I'm only 10+1! Are you on the fb group? I'll show you my 'bump' lmao 😂

Hello, How does the Facebook group work? I would like to join but can people see you have joined etc and does it appear on your timeline or page etc? I don't want anyone else to know until after 12 weeks and am a bit paranoid about people seeing anything if you see what I mean (hopefully)

@mrskitty15 no one can see anything in the group that isn't in it. It's a secret group so you wouldn't even know it was there even if you searched for it unless you're a member.

Welcome to the new people.

Hope the new meds work orange.

Why has my toddler decided that before 5am is a suitable time to get up. Yesterday he slept through from 7:30pm til 4:40am, all good except as soon as he woke it was time to get up. Cue only having a 45min nap at half eight and sleeping for the night from 5:30pm. He's been awake so nice 4;20am. iPad kept him in bed for an hour, but I don't know how to fix this lol.

Morning ladies.
Scooby how olds your toddler?
My skins crap at the moment and it's getting on my nerves 😑

Morning, can I join you all? Found out three weeks ago that I'm due number four around 18th March, so currently almost 10weeks. All a bit bonkers, this is a surprise baby, but we've got our heads around it and feeling very blessed. Nausea has calmed down the last few days, trying to view this as a good thing and not worry, still exhausted so that's comforting!

@Countdowntofour he's 2 and a half. Think sleeping through screwed his sleep up normally up between half five and seven. The half four get ups are messing with his naps meaning he's ready for bed at tea time.

Welcome @Wingingitwithmonkeys

Yep I'm in the group. I'm at a wedding on Saturday and I feel like I look huge.

I think you're right, vicious circle.. you must be knackered bless you. I could sleep forever atm and I'm getting around 9 hours already lol.

lol @Countdowntofour not had a full nights sleep since being pregnant with my lb. I've been lucky with him tbh normally he's fairly good. I just think it's a bloody unreasonable time for him to decide it's us time. My dp told me to go back to bed at half five when we actually got up but once I am up I usually can't go back off easily.

Is anyone else having to get up approx ten times per night for the loo? I had a UTI test a couple of weeks back and the doc said it was borderline but didn't want to prescribe antibiotics at this stage. Thinking I need to go back as the constant loo breaks and interrupted sleep is making me so so miserable and tired.

I'm also getting a paunch and look like I've been drinking pints and pints of beer.. and I'm only 8.5 weeks!

I am waking in the night for the loo Moose but only once. Feeling sorry enough for myself with that too tbh! I don't remember this kicking in so early in my first pregnancy.

Sympathies to everyone suffering broken sleep of one form or another. DS wet the bed last night and then I couldn't get back to sleep for ages - was awake from 1.30 til about 4, then up at 6.15 for the day - tired and headachey now.

Welcome and congratulations @Wingingitwithmonkeys. Fellow 4th timer here

Oh scooby what a horrid time to wake up :( can you try keep him awake at bedtime until about 7pm then put him down i know he will be grumpy which is tough but atleast he might stay in bed longer.
When dd wakes up before 7am i just take her back to bed and she falls back to sleep. I dno if thats the right thing to do as that means she ends up sleeping for about 13/14hours but I'm so tired atm i couldn't possibly get up. I hope he wakes at a better time tomorrow xx

Hope all the scans go well and today is a good one.

If anyone else wants to join the secret Facebook group then just send me a private message with the email address that you use to login and I will send you the link.

@Countdowntofour I tried last night he fell asleep for a few minutes on boob watching tv. He's currently asleep and has been for nearly 2 hours hoping it resets his body clock. Although could have murdered the bt engineer told him to ring when he got here so he didn't set the dog barking, and wake the toddler. He rang then I couldn't sleep as the fucker didn't know how to close the porch door quietly. Luckily lb has slept through it but I am currently livid as I couldn't and if he'd have woken him up I'd have been done for abh as he would have shoved the door handle up his arse and shown him how to use it xx
