March Babies #4

[Keyboard91]

New thread ladies :)

Has to be the most active thread on MN!

Feel free to state how far you are/EDD in your first post here so we have a reminder of who is where :)

Happy 2nd trimester to everyone now I think!

I’m 13+6 and due March 26th ❤️

We are definitely finding out, we don’t mind at all but both have a feeling its a girl, well if nub theory is accurate it will be x

@Jesskir89 it'll be a surprise either way! You'll just be surprised a bit sooner if you do find out. Exciting!!

Has anybody else had a complete lack of cravings? People keep asking and I feel so boring saying "no" every time I'm asked. I feel like people want to hear about your crazy hunger for mashed potato with strawberry jam or something else bizarre. But nothing at all.

@Jesskir89 @DerbyshireGirly i agree that neutral is boring but I also quite like a little white baby grow with something on it. Then other people can buy gender specific when you've found out... well that's what I'm thinking anyway. Who knows.

I haven't had any cravings either. I'm hardly anyone I speak to has had any.

@derbyshiregirly the only craving I had right at the start even before I knew was BBQ sauce. I don't like bbq sauce. But now I just look food. I can crave a certain thing but it's just like before I'd crave things.

@Jesskir89 - I was ok but I woke up with an awful headache at 4am and have felt rubbish all day so I’ve come home now.
Rang the midwife and she’s going to do a full check up on me tomorrow.

@sadtoday21 - I hope we feel something soon too. We might have already and just not known 😊 next scan is 6th November but it feels forever away!

@DerbyshireGirly there was a lot of lols in my last post sorry! And you're right a baby being born itself is magical :) @maybenextmonth you're right there and I've bought all white sleepsuits as they're cute. I've not had cravings either early on I wanted ribena a lot but think I was craving vitamin c. @ELW85 get some rest, I hope you're feeling better soon x

Thank you, @Jesskir89 x

@Dinosauraddict we have the same due date!!!

I am desperate to find out! Which I’ll be doing if baby plays ball at 20 week scan next week. With regards to movements, I have felt movements for about two weeks but last night/today it’s really reduced but my midwife notes say to contact maternity assessment from 24 weeks so I’m not sure what to do. As some people haven’t felt movement at all by this point I’m sure it’s ok but it’s the first thing I’ve been concerned about.

@blondie87 I had a few days where I hardly felt anything compared to what I had .. then today iv never felt so much!
Its too early to have a pattern or anything yet.

That’s reassuring @Yvonne1988. Thank you! Yeah it’s really from 24 weeks where you should notice a pattern- just disconcerting.

@blondie87 I was at Butlins all weekend for a music festival and I thought I'd feel it all time with the loud music. Was only the first night and the rest of the weekend I think it was just like ffs can't you keep it down and I hardly felt a thing, when I expected loads.

Re: boring neutral unisex.

Boots do cool baby grows that are bright and unisex. The hunky drawback is most of their range o ly have poppers between the legs and I find it harder to get a newborn in them. I like newborn things to be poppered all along the body so there's not too much limb pulling

Also baby stuff coming in to Lidls again...

Three more photos

@avocadoincident Brill! Did you mean to put the wine on? Lol

I will never use bottom fastening baby gros again. Awful if there’s a poo explosion 😂

Hey guys wondering what everyone is getting sleep wise? Moses? Cot? Next to me?
Xx

@barnyb I'm supposed to get a baby box living in Scotland which the baby can sleep in so I'm gonna use that for as long as it fits. If it lasts 6 months then into a cot. If not I'll just use a Moses basket, without the stand like I did with my first.

@Yvonne1988 that's lovely that give you a baby box! I live in in the south east and no such luck here! why would you not use the stand for the Moses? X

I’m not finding out, which my Ofer children are furious about ...they’re desperate to do a big gender reveal 🤣
Told them that I didn’t find out with any of them, so I feel like I have to do things the same this time around!
2 weeks til my 20 week scan. I’m finding the waiting horrendous - was monitored much more closely in my previous pregnancies. It’s actually really depressing noticing the effects of all the nhs cuts since I had my last one.

@barnyb I'm using a moses basket then small cot or a next to me if I can find one cheap enough as I'm not paying 200 for one. Avacado posted one from lidl before for 80 so will look at that. Then cot before baby is 1 x

I used a next to me for my first found them really good. I got a second hand one off shprock as good as new and less than half the price!

@Jesskir89 that's a good idea!. Yes I saw the photos of the Lidl bits. Such bargains! Iv got a Moses too but I haven't got a stand yet. And I also got a small cot from Asda which is fab and was about £89 I think with the mattress too! I really love a Moses basket so I hope she enjoys sleeping in it 😍 xx

@jennabobs89 I hear such a good things about the next to me type beds ! Lots of my friends have had them xx
