March Babies

[MaryH90]

Tentatively starting a thread for those due in March 2020! I got my BFP yesterday and EDD is 3rd March next year. I got my BFP really early so nervously waiting for the days to go by until I feel a bit more ‘pregnant’. This is number 2 for me. Anyone else out there in the same boat?

@barnyb that's awesome we're the same date! Does it usually change by a lot or just a few days?
I literally just picked up 3 days worth of antibiotics so hopefully they kick in soon. Today has been my most tired day so far! I feel so grateful to be working from home cos I was able to nap. I've not had much nausea yet so fingers crossed that lasts lol. How about you?

@dream109 yes I know! And I wish it would actually be the 8th because it's my favourite number lol. ah you are so lucky to work from home! Iv been sleeping when I can but I work 3 long days a week so I can't on those days of course. Feeling tired but also very sick. I didn't have any sickness with my last two pregnancies last year so it's all new to me ! Yes well I went for a scan with other pregnancy and I thought I was 7 + weeks and they told me I was actually 6 weeks and 4 days. I guess the online calculator is just a rough guess! Xxxx

@barnyb OMG I could have written your post! for the last 3 days my appetite has been wild! Previously lost over 5 stones with slimming world and have been keeping it off so I feel really stressed about this.. any tips for keeping the weight off in pregnancy? It's really important to me!

@helpasisterout I have no tips !!! I NEED THE TIPS!! it's really awful I'm eating such crap that I wouldn't normally even look at! I had TWO cheese toasties for lunch !! and super noodles for dinner! How disgusting am I! I can't look at the veg isle in the shop. It makes me feel so sick!!!! I can't believe it. I'm a veg fanatic normally ! I normally have 3 bags of watercress a week to myself plus the rest! I think it will ease up once the sickness goes xxxxx someone send for help!!

@helpasisterout also iv been on the old choc too!!!

@barnyb I'm sorry to hear you've got a lot of sickness. It's strange how different pregnancies have different symptoms. I hope you get plenty of rest around your work days. That's so interesting to know about the date, I'll be mindful of that. My birthday is the 19th so will be interesting how close it will be!
About eating junk, I've been pretty good, except tonight I'm eating choc biscuits and today is the first day where I'm suddenly feeling hungry suddenly, when just a moment before, I'm full. It's weird!

Midwifes coming tomorrow :) I hear you girls I'm on slimming world but can't stop eating and not been to the gym. I've done some walking to try and limit the damage! It must be psychological eating for 2! Haha

@barnyb sorry to hear you've been having bad aversions it's rubbish isn't it. I'm grazing as well and feel myself getting fatter each day 😩

@Jesskir89 glad it's sorted :)

So I was sick this morning, felt horrendous all day and so sick and dizzy this evening I spent half an hour hugging the toilet waiting to be sick 😭 and I wasn't but still feel awful. Also had chills and felt so cold! (As in not necessarily to touch more I feel like I'm outside in the winter cold) 😩
Anyone else having similar?

Hey guys I'm new to all this, I've been under the fertility clinic since January after trying for 2 years. 2 round of clomid and finally got my first BFP :) my estimated due date is 22nd March 2020 according to Flo (an app I use) except I got my positive 2 days before my period last Wednesday, and according to flo again I shouldn't of implanted yet? Confusing! I'm hoping for a healthy pregnancy x

@Naylor19 welcome and congratulations. I only ever use apps as a guide unless you put loads of info in. I didn't know if told you when you should implant? Implantation is normally 7-12 days after ovulation anf your period is normally 14 days after ovulation so that is ok, I got my positive at 9dpo on a Monday and was due my period the Saturday after. ☺️

@Abi58 how far along are you? I've not had sickness yet. @naylor19 snap but I caught after 2.5 years and 5 cycles of Clomid. We have the same due date too I think. I'm 4 weeks 2 days x

I am so bloated. Omg I have never looked so bloated in my life. Don't remember this first time around. It's like I have an actual bump but I'm only 6 weeks ish

@Abi58 only just saw your message. Im here til Thursday. Well get back Thursday morning. I'm worried I'm doing too much. Only walking but its so hot. I can't stop being touristy. Had no bleeding or anything but maybe I'll just start feeling everything again once I stop and rest

@Abi58 @Jesskir89 thanks guys, I'm excited but can't help worry over ever little twinge and cramping! I get an early scan being under the clinic which is the 7th August, so I'm counting down the days until it's confirmed properly! I'm still struggling to believe it's finally happened! Are you taking anything since finding out? I'm on folic acid 400mg since trying but not been advised to take anything else x

@Naylor19 I feel exactly the same especially after prior MC when I was younger but we've got to try and stay positive. Worrying won't help us or the baby. I'm having an early scan too but not booked yet. My midwife told me to take multi vitamins but I'm on a high dosage of folic acid already so my husband ordered me some vitamin d last night as per the nhs website x

Hi ladies can I join? I got a bfp about 2 weeks ago now, was very tentative about believing it was real as had an early miscarriage in April. I’d registered with the hospital and joined a few groups so it was awful having to go back and take myself out again.

Anyway I’m exactly 6 weeks today! Still doesn’t feel real and I feel forgetting that apparently I’m pregnant 🤣 My sisters and a friend know, apart from DH, as I had an event on the weekend after I found out that I wouldn’t get away not drinking at, especially with them, so ended up telling them and swore them to secrecy.

I have a lovely little DS, who is 2, and I feel is getting a bit more manageable now so it’s the right time I think for a second.

Only think is, I’m SO BLOATED. Is anyone else like this? Now granted I never really lost my little baby belly from having DS, but today my tummy is so popped out. Not sure how I’m going to hide this for another 6 weeks! Apart from that I’ve no symptoms at all yet really, was very tired around the time I found out but given I work full time and have a toddler I’m always tired anyway!

So hoping to enjoy this journey now with you all, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Only thing* is 🙈🙈 I don’t know how to go back and edit spelling mistakes yet!!!

@Jesskir89 you're right! And my husband has been brilliant on reassuring me, and pointing out the positives (like the fact we actually conceived for the first time!!) it's just so hard isn't it. Ive booked a doctors appointment for tomorrow afternoon to see if they'd recommend me taking anything else, I'd read about vitamin D but asked in Asda pharmacy if needed it and was told no! So that threw me out a little.. hope you get your scan sorted and see a healthy little heartbeat we've got two weddings coming up over the next month so I've told close family (I know it's so early!) and I also work with high risk children so I will have to tell my work after summer before even 12 weeks so they will understand that I can't perform holds. All being well that is x

@Lemon27 congrats! this is my first BFP so not sure what the norm is, but I too feel extremely bloated! I've not had morning sickness yet, but have got increased sense of smell which sometimes makes me feel nauseous! I'm currently 4 weeks x

@Naylor19 I've told a few people too I couldn't help myself as I was being referee for ivf in September! @lemon27 welcome and I can't stop eating lol

@Lemon27 I'm really bloated as well - my DS is almost 2 and I look about 20 weeks pregnant this morning, god knows what I'm going to wear to work!

7 weeks today, scan in a weeks time, trying to stay positive and not worry myself into a meltdown 😂

@Jesskir89 I can't blame you we just want to tell everyone! So hard holding off lol I think it will be easier for me now that I break up for summer today (perks of working in a school) so at least I can rest plenty and try keep myself busy until the 7th! x

@Naylor19 you need folic acid till 12 weeks and vitamin d throughout.
I have it separately but you can buy it in a pregnancy multivitamin if you want.
I also take a baby iron tablet as I’m always worried about becoming anaemia in pregnancy and having to take proper iron tablets which make you very constipated. Weird I know.

Survived my long shift at work yesterday. Nearly vommed in a few rooms where the smell was bad (nhs clinical area).
Having some odd little pelvic pains but sure it’s just stretching.

Got to survive a 2.5hr windy road car journey today. I get car sick at the best of times.

@MunchyMunchkin oh really, thankyou for the heads up! I did think the pharmacist at Asda was wrong! I'll head out and get some after work. How many weeks are you? I'm so tired already, and I can't eat anything until around midday or I worry I may be sick. But luckily it's my last working day today until the end of August so I'm lucky in that sense if the morning sickness does kick in big time!

@Naylor19 my sense of smell is slightly heightened too but that’s the only other real thing I can say. I got an early scan on DS at 8/9 weeks so might do that again to give myself reassurance as I really don’t ‘feel’ pregnant! I can’t remember if I was the same with DS!
