Pregnancies due March 2018

[stumblymonkeyagain]

Hi,

I just found out I'm pregnant with our first DC at lunchtime today.

Obviously very early days and anything could happen but thought it would be nice to have a little group who are due around the same month to share experiences and hand hold if needed.

Anyone around who is due in March?

@Bumpkin21 - i think we were, i thought i recognised your name :)

My midwife still hasn't contacted me 🙄

I called the gp and they were a bit confused. Have to see the gp first (next Friday) before they will contact the hospital.

Some areas and trusts make it so complicated. I rang my doctors and the nurse told me to self refer and gave me the web page. I filled out an online form and my notes came with a letter attached with my booking appointment. Simples

So I had my scan tonight. My lmp was 6 weeks 3 days ago. I ovulated much later that cycle due to my cycles being messed up due to previous mc. I was measured at 4 weeks pregnant which ties in perfectly with my ovulation date.
I'm just slightly confused as I got a strong positive test 18 days ago!
On the scan I saw yolk sac and double decidual pregnancy sac which sonographer said was a great sign.
Just a bit amazed that I got a positive 18 days ago but I am still only 4 weeks pregnant lol.

I'm am also confused LoveRainbow as four weeks pregnant means you ovulated 14 days ago. Did the sonograoher say to return in a week to see how things were progressing?

I definitely didn't ovulate 14 days ago. I ovulated on the 26th June. It was a private scan so she didn't offer me to go back. Just said all looks really good regarding yolk sac and pregnancy sac and thickness of my sac. I have a scan booked at the hospital next Tuesday. I am really confused. Also my sac looks much larger than a 4 week sac.

Ah, are you are six weeks pregnant then?

My lmp was 6 weeks 3 days ago but my sac is measuring 4 weeks. It was 4 weeks ago today that I ovulated. I got a positive test 18 days ago so this is what is confusing me. I was an abdominal scan she done which surprised me as I thought I would have an internal one. I didn't think 4 weeks pregnant would show abdominally lol.

You're six weeks pregnant. You always add two weeks in front of the day you ovulate, so technically the first two weeks of pregnancy are before you conceive.

Yeah that's what I thought but the sonographer is telling me I'm 4 weeks. My head is all muddled and confused with dates now lol. I know I really shouldn't have but I've been googling 4 week pregnancy sacs and they seem much much smaller compared to my sac.

You're not four weeks. Google a six week sac and I bet you will feel much more relieved. If you were four weeks, then you would only just be getting a positive test now; certainly not 18 days ago. Mathematically and physically it is impossible.

That looks like a lovely six week old pregnancy to me. I think the sonograoher would have got you to return if they had any concerns at all about your dates and I also don't think you can always see a four week old pregnancy even with an internal scan.

That's why I was so shocked to even see this abdominally. I've got a scan at my hospital next week so I'll see what they say there. I'm left a worrying mess lol.

I'm due 13th march :)

Hello ladies hope all are well am 4wks found out yesterday this is my fifth baby (yet everything changes from babie to babie in terms of can dos and carnt dos little tip for the nausa green tea with jasmine or lemon from aldi about £1.20 a box they work a treat for me no hint of soil 😁

Great news love xx
I have an appointment booked for the gp as I've had spotting this morning not lots but pinky stringy when i wipe, i also have that pain so going to see what they say.
Keep faith that with dd i have 3 lots of heavy bleeding and she was fine. Just abit stressed because of my cp the other month started like this! Argh.. maybe its time for the dildo cam!

😮😮😮😮 how cute !!

Ive had a scan this morning for reassurance and i saw its ticker! I'm just over 5wks.....

Oh and i have 3 cysts on my ovaries...but hey! xx

I have a tender spot on my left side halfway between my belly button and my groin. It doesn't hurt all the time only if I touch it (maybe I should stop poking it :-) ) but when I touch it I wince. Otherwise I'm fine. Haven't had any nausea since Thursday just a few aches and cramps bit of tiredness, no spotting at all. Wondering if I have a cyst but panicking its ectopic or something. Private scan Thursday morning. Hoping everything is OK. I still don't 'feel' pregnant so I'm constantly anxious.

@Lynseylou

Please call your doctor with symptoms to double check.

I have had ectopic before, it might not be at all but its better to be safe than sorry xxx

So I just found out I have to have been at my work for 1 year to get their mat leave package which would give me 6 weeks full pay then 12 weeks 50% then statutory from then on
My due date is 5 days after my 1 year anniversary! I'm hoping that when I decide to tell work and speak to HR they will give me some leeway so if the baby is early I won't lose that package!

@TidmanK - do you know what the policy is on when your mat leave needs to start?

@KitKat2891 I wouldn't be able to start mat leave until after my 1 year at work, but if the baby came early my mat leave would automatically start
