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?

71/2 week scan tomorrow is there anything I need to be worried about because I'm so nervous!!!

Welcome @rozybelle!

@TidmanK - I got there about 10:15 and got seen at about 11. So take a book, but it's not too bad. They close at 11am by the way.

Just realised there is another March 2018 thread. I think I am due at the very end but might go for an early scan to get a better idea.

Thankyou @TidmanK and @Bumpkin21 hope you girls are well! XX

Thank you for the warm welcome
To issy1265 - I had my scan today at 7+3 and the report showed length of the foetus. I walked away without knowing the heart beat rate and length of the yolk sack which are both good indicators of a healthy pregnancy. I wish I'd noticed at the hospital rather than try and get these after the fact

In my experience @rider1975 if there was any concern at all about the heartbeat rate, yolk sac or anything else, the hospital would have asked you to come back in a week to ten days to do another scan.

Thanks FuzzyOwl - that's good to know

@Bumpkin21 Oh okay that's better than I thought, when I called they said I should get there for 8! I won't worry so much about being there bang on 8 then!
Bf will be coming with me so I'll have company!

Can you get a photo? My partner can't come as we're both managers at the same place of work and it's impossible to get time off at the same time such short notice!

Yes I was given a photo - wasn't expecting that!

That's fantastic I can't wait!!

Congrats on the good scan rider sorry i missed your post just before mine earlier x

Is an internal scan with that big dildo looking thing 🙈 if so i think I'll try and avoid that lol.. how many weeks gone do they usually start ultra sounds?

wintercookie awww yay! Fabulous xx

Any one in Manchester like me??? Lol

Bluespotty 'big dildo' comment made me chuckle, I had to look away as the sonographer 'lubed' it up! 🤣 I had an internal at 6ish weeks if that helps

@Blueespottytiger - 😂
I was worried too, but it's actually quite small, about 2cm wide, so it's really not uncomfortable. I think about 11 weeks is when they start doing abdominal ultrasounds, internal ones start to show at about 5-6 weeks.

Haha oh! That's better! 😂🙈
I had a ultra sound scan at 9 weeks with DD but i have no idea when they start.. 🤔maybe if dd wasn't showing on that they would have done an internal. I'll see of i have the pain on monday still and if so I'll go, i would rather know sooner than later if something is wrong xx

wow! lots to catch up on! Will give any helpful(!) comments later as have parents visiting and my mum knows but not my dad so all a bit awks!!!! Rang docs yesterday and all fine with bloods plus confirmed early pregnancy!!! So just hanging on now hoping get to 12 weeks and that all is well.

Good luck today Izzy 😊

Well I've found my first food aversion: Marmite I'm devastated! 🤢

@TidmanK - and that's a bad thing? 😜 #loveitorhateit

I seem to have an aversion to most food at the moment, but I'm sooooo hungry!
Anyone got any good morning sickness tips?

Thank you waiting in the hospital now! Only took me half an hour to find the bloody ward 🙄 feeling like crap today I feel so hungover and groggy and these storms aren't helping give me my sofaaaaa

@BlueeSpottyTiger im cheshire based near Stockport/Manchester

Just had my scan saw the heart beat yay! But have a cyst which is causing me the pain yay

Ah @Issy that's so exciting to see the heartbeat! And good to get reassurance too. Yay!

Aww, that's lovely Izzy 😊
