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?

@maybenextmonth I feel the same as you had a prior MC 10 years ago at 16 weeks so I am nervous but I just keep telling myself and hubby just think in 8 months we will have a beautiful baby and not think oh god what if... again. It's hard but positive thinking :) @jemstar33 was it a lot of spotting? It's probably implantation bleeding like me yesterday I'm only 3 days ahead of you. Keep checking it but I'm sure it'll be something or nothing x

@Jesskir89 it wasn’t a lot no, there was a bit on the tissue but it was watery and very light brown (too much info soz) was gone with one wipe. The cramps are my worry, I didn’t think they’d be as bad as period pains but mine are. Have you had bad cramping? xxx

@jemstar33 your spotting sounds very similar to mine and I've had cramps on and off for nearly 2 weeks. Just keep checking but if you don't get any more I wouldn't worry :) xx

@Jemstar33 hello how are you feeling ?? what's the latest.? I had cramping in the evening two days in a row when I was 5 and half weeks. It was like heavy period cramps. Xxx

scan tomorrow at almost 7 weeks. really excited but also so nervous that there will be no heartbeat or something... Hubby can't come - i need him to babysit DS2, I'll be missing work as well but as I am self-employed I have no-body to tell at work! Makes it a lot easier, but also harder because I have all the responsibility for keeping my business going. Anyone else on here running their own business?

Thanks @jesskir89 the cramping started about an hour ago and are still happening now. I’m sure it’s fine, I’ve just got into bed. That’s my answer to everything at the minute! Xx

@barnyb did the cramping last a long time? The past week I’ve just been really bloated each evening but today it’s cramping. I’m actually not too worried about the spotting, I know it sounds stupid but I’m happy that it’s a normal sign. It’s just the cramping that’s got none worried. How are you?

@barnyb that you for the reassurance btw xxx

@AnxiousandExcited that’s a shame that you can’t go together but life sometimes gets in the way!
I’m not running my own business but I’ve been working full time since I was 16, now 33, first few years I was working 7 days a week so I CANNOT WAIT to walk out of those doors in March!! X

@Jemstar33 so it lasted about an hour each time. I was a bit worried at the time but I had a scan last week and everything was fine. so many women complain of cramps and spotting at the beginning. Especially around the 5 week mark. do you have any scans or anything booked soon? you can get a scan at 6 + weeks and should be able to see heart beat. or at least something reassuring. If your worried you can give your local early pregnancy unit a call and see what they advise. They arranged a scan for me when iv had spotting in the past xxx

@jemstar33 I read this. A good night's sleep might be what you need try not to worry x

@Jemstar33 also yes I'm super bloated in the afternoon and right now I look like iv got a football up my t shirt! Xxx

Hi ladies Have any of you had brown spotting? its very light and occasional throughout the like -- like a small mark on pantyliner after entire day- Im at 8 weeks - no cramps out of the ordinary or pain
still have pregnancy symptoms- headache - nausea on and off, breat pain intermittent - exhausted.. go for another US tmrw
Insight would help

@barnyb @jesskir89 the spotting has started again. It’s a bit darker this time. My early scan isn’t for another 3 weeks but I may try to get in earlier now. Yes I think I’ll try to get an early night and see what tomorrow brings. Xxx

@Jemstar33 hope your ok. Also don't forget you can take paracetamol for the pain xxx

@EPSpartyof3 hello! I'm nearly 8 weeks and I haven't had any of yet. I know anything can happen at any stage. That's good you have a scan tomorrow. I hope it's all ok. Will you please keep up updated on how you get on?
Have you just started spotting or has this been going on for a little while? Xxx

@jemstar33 see how you go on in the night and if you're worried ring 101. Hope you're ok xx

@barnyb hi I will thank you it’s been sporadic for the past week not heavy or anything very very light no cramping and it’s light brown which helps ease me a little meaning it’s old 🤷🏻‍♀️ Rather that then bright red
I truly feel that it may be “normal” for me I know anything can happen at anytime. But I am being positive and hopeful and have a ton of faith - makes me feel better that there was. HB at weeks that they actually saw this little peanut is hanging on ❤️ I will let you know I just I could hurry to 12/13 weeks and all is perfect !

@Jemstar33 I had a LOT of cramping At week 5 I remember it - I was scared a little bit week 6 got the scan there was. HB! Added progesterone. and at week 7 into this week 8 had brown spotting... light and occasional - go to an US tomorrow 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

@BeachYogi congrats and I’m so sorry about the passing of your father - I told my m&d and DP m&d immediately a few weeks later 7 weeks I told a couple people I could trust it’s hard not to tell people but I’m cautious until at least 13/14 weeks with no complications then we will make an announcement

@Jemstar33 I've had spotting everyday except today since I was 5+3 until yesterday when I was 7weeks- I had a scan yesterday and they said everything looked fine. When I called the midwife when the spotting started they said it was likely implantation bleeding as 5 weeks is when it does a bit more burrowing to get comfy and then there's a "clean out." Cramping also usual. They said not to worry but to call back if it became red (which is what happened with previous mc so I knew what red looked like). I'm now worried because I'd got used to the spotting and now it's stopped 🙈

Try to get some sleep and hopefully you'll feel better in the morning x

@satsumasaturday @EPSpartyof3 @barnyb @Jesskir89 unfortunately the bleeding has become bright red and there’s more than just the odd spot. I phoned nhs direct, I’m now at the hospital. Fearing the worst 😓

Oh @Jemstar33 I'm so so sorry. I really hope it's not bad news and there's some other reason for the bleeding. Thinking of you

@Jemstar33 I hope your ok xxxxx

@Jemstar33 thinking of you and prayers 🙏🏻❤️
