March 2019

[BunLovinCriminal]

Hello all! I got my BFP this morning at 10dpo and am apparently due 1st March with my third baby. Now feeling that familiar paranoia about what might go wrong, but hopeful all will be well. Is anyone else due in March yet? 😬

At least somebody else is in my boat!
I wee lots anyway and have always had some sort of Insomnia so can't tell what's pregnancy related or stress related!🙈
Let us know when a new symptom pops up?

@Emmafh3 I have no symptoms yet and I've had a positive on a digi 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh my! I definitely can't keep up with this thread now! Hello all new March-ers! Hope everyone has had a good Saturday.

I have nothing to report except my boobs are huge and VEINY! And I am also super bloated! Is this a thing or am I actually just fat?! I swear I look pregnant already!

Went to the local pharmacy today as had to get more sun cream for DD and had to refrain from buying more tests...

@SuperSharpShooter82 bloating very common don't worry, just means your hormones are doing what they're meant to do! I'm actually getting less symptoms than I was a few days ago which I find a bit odd, good to have the strengthening lines for reassurance!

@Murphyrocks I look like I'm 16 weeks pregnant! And my symptoms fluctuate so I wouldn't worry - your lines look awesome too!

@SuperSharpShooter82 I had the opposite problem with ds, wasn't visibly pregnant until 5-6 months and I was so desperate to start showing! Suspect that won't be the case the time having already had one, muscles nice and stretched 😜

@RedRobin7 I bet they won't stay that way! I went from a DD to an H! 😲🤱

@Murphyrocks Haha wow! I really want mine to grow. My DH has been teasing me for years that he thinks I'm lying to myself and they're actually an A! 🙈 😂

@RedRobin7 I'm actually a bit of a bra nazi and reckon most people actually wear too big a back size and too small a cup, I used to wear a commercial 34D but got professionally measured by a proper bra maker as a 30E! But I can almost guarantee they'll grow with you, hope you enjoy the extra cleavage! I definitely did NOT enjoy the H cups - I looked like Pamela Anderson gone wrong it was crazy!

oh @supersharpshooter82, I am also super bloated! It's rubbish. My boobs are huge too, I feel like a whale at only 5 weeks.

I'm also getting really hormonal-emotional, crying at everything. Today I cried at Where You Are from Moana.

@ladycarlotta I cried at "This is me" from The Greatest Showman today - not sure what that was all about but definitely feeling emotional.

SO is away in Holland at the moment for 5 days (thank god we're half way through) and I've never felt so needy in my life. Someone please tell me I'll gain my independence back again fairly soon?! 😅

How's everyone bearing up with the heat??

@SuperSharpShooter82 I look like I've had an overnight boob job and simultaneously had a heavy lunch and dinner at the all you can eat carvery. My tummy is all swollen up and my bust... I don't know what to do with myself and it's literally only just five weeks. I also wondered if I'm just fat, because I swear to god my thighs are bigger and I've got cankles. When did that happen????? I'm sure I haven't eaten that much cake. I know people say the first trimester is the hardest but I seriously doubt it is!

Re those of you without symptoms, honestly. Consider yourself lucky. I think I'd rather have no symptoms and pee on sticks daily to make sure I'm pregnant and suck up the financial hit 😂 enjoy it whilst it lasts!

Oh well. The other passing thought I had was for these poor sods who get pregnant at 16 or underage and hide it or those who don't want to be pregnant and accidentally fall pregnant. Can't imagine how they do that. There's no way I'd be able to cover this up to anyone who knows me well! And it must be emotional hell. It's bad enough as a supposed "adult" trying to work my way through this. Sometimes I catch myself wondering whether I've done the right thing, getting quite emotional. Because it's a huge commitment!! Eek! It'll all work out FINE (and I've only known since last Sat and I find myself almost getting ahead of myself and taking this for granted!). End of essay...

@frankiefumbles ditto

I went to buy some cheap bras today and seem to have gone up by at least two cup sizes

And My tummy is now huge I am so bloated it's crazy. Full of air, so painful

And similarly I'm 5+1!! (OPK, feel I have to justify that still as LMP would put me at 5+6 and I've still got two weeks til I see the midwife)

Oh God I am SO bloated it's unreal I don't have the flattest stomach not at all in fact but I swear I look like I've put on a good two stone already around my middle! I'm hoping this will settle down in a week or so?!

I also hear you all on the boobage front! I'm hanging out of my F cup! And as you can probably tell by the the fact that I'm already an F, I really could do without any extra growth!

DH isn't complaining might I add

@hamandpease if you think it's 5+1 based on your maths, you'll probably be vindicated in due course. I think they only use LMP because there is more chance the "average Jane" knows that date.

@thefirsttimer You poor thing. That's a lot of boobage for this heat. Everyone thinks it's fun and games 😂 I wish I'd bought another bra before we set off but looks like I'll be wedging the girls in my biggest (back fastening!) sports bra.

Yesterday we set off from Dover at 5.30am and drove the 600 miles through France. Today is day one of bike event and I'd have had to leave camp (motorhome) at 6am (5am UK time...?) to register. I feel incredibly under the weather with the cold. I woke up with good intentions but didn't go and stayed in bed and now I'm feeling dead queasy. Again! I'm so so looking forward to about 3pm when it eases off and I feel more human. It sits right at the back of my throat and it feels like I could puke at any moment. The down side is it's 5.30am UK and I'm wide-a-bloody-wake. Last nights vivid dream? M/C of that funny looking ball of cells. Jeez.

@frankiefumbles what a horrible dream :( I'm sorry. I hope you get some chillaxing time today if you won't be doing the event.

I've slept SO badly the last few days. Naturally am wide awake now. I've got to go to London today for work stuff and haven't a clue what to wear - everything smart I own looks like shit on me at the moment. Bah.

@ladycarlotta I think we are all a bit sensitive at the moment - I'm sure probably no one else will notice the difference, it's just us because we know something funny is going on! Hope you have a good day in London. I'm having a little lie in and hopefully a wander in the sunshine later 😊

I wasn't very clear there. I mean Re you thinking you look shit, I think it's just because we are feeling lacklustre. I doubt others would be able to tell by looking at us (that's what I keep telling myself!)

Hi everyone! Hoping I can join you all here. I'm 5+5 with my second This one has been a long while coming - I'd just about given up hope so I'm really glad to be here!

@frankiefumbles you're right, and it's not like I spend my daily life noting 'gosh that person looks a bit bloated!' so presumably nobody else does either. I had a choice between a loose silk dress that doesn't suffer for my zeppelin tits, and an outfit with trousers that were a bit strained on the waistband. That's probably what was making me feel horrible. I've gone with the dress and feel a bit better.

@MistakenHoliday (Withnail??) congratulations!! And welcome. Here's to a lovely second pregnancy.

Congratulations @MistakenHoliday 🙌🏼

@ladycarlotta yes, Withnail one of my favourites!

@ladycarlotta I know I'm meant to be sympathetic, but zeppelin tits has pretty much made my day 😂😂

@MistakenHoliday welcome!! 5+5 congrats! I think you might be our "most well on" Marcher! I may be wrong...!

@mistakenholiday mine too!!

@frankiefumbles haha! I'm practically a veteran 😂

@ladycarlotta good taste, obviously 😉
