March 2021 babies

[Sussexbysea]

Hi everyone,

This is a second thread of March 2021 babies. I’ll add people as I go xx

Maybe don't eat hundreds of them in a day if you're worried but I'm certainly going to eat mine when I fancy them!

Hope all is well with everyone today.

@Sh4mmy how are you?

@Boredinthehouse12 I track my ovulation with opks and bbt so I’m usually very accurate when I know I ovulate, I also have very regular cycles of 29 days but still ovulate between day 14 to day 19 so apps are not accurate at all x

@Sh4mmy how r things?

@GreysLove

My first as well, very anxious and I'm 5w
My booking app is on the 20 Aug - I couldnt get an early scan booked, so decided to book privately....even though its 2 weeks away, i still i feel reassured that I am going to have a scan sooner rather than later.

Thank you @Smidge93 and @DSP21

It feels such a long wait, OH really not keen on the idea of an early scan and no reason to think anything wrong. No cramping or spotting, although I know that's kind of normal even if it does happen. Consistently sore boobs and tiredness.

Does anyone else have an uncontrollable urge to clean everything in sight? I've spent the last 4 hours cleaning kitchen cupboards inside and out lol. I know nesting is a thing towards the end...

@GreysLove I wish I wanted to clean! All I want to do is eat and sleep!

@GreysLove I have the exact OPPOSITE. I just hired a cleaner because I honestly just cannot be bothered to clean ever again! Maybe when the nesting kicks in i'll feel differently

Hi All, just thought I'd let people know I'm exactly 8 weeks today and at last heard from my community midwife. I had dropped off a form about two weeks ago.
The midwife was v lovely and has booked my booking appointment in for next week, all happening over the phone.

Glad and relieved to have finally heard, she told me they try and book the booking appointment in for between 8-10 weeks.

@ElsiesJourney That makes me feel better that I haven't heard from mine yet! And good to know things are all booked in for you, how exciting!

@GreysLove ah I'm cleaning everything in sight too and I've been having clear outs. Just can't help myself at the moment ha!

@DSP21 yes definitely reassuring. I'm still in a funny place where I can't quite get excited yet. I want to be... can not wait for the next four weeks to pass

@ElsiesJourney I know how you feel, I'm wishing these next 6 weeks to go by quickly so I can relax a tiny bit (someone tell me the anxiety drops after the 12 week scan?!)

@Sussexbysea @2020wish and everyone else who's asked! After an agonising wait in a room of heavily pregnant women I had my blood tests! I had to call back at 4, passed from pillar to post and finally spoke to the midwife at 5.55, after she'd spoken to the consultant! My HCG levels have only increased marginally, from 1030 to 1106 and so they want to rescan me on Friday! The wait is so hard, even though I know deep down the baby has gone, I need to hear it properly and know what the plan will be after Friday!

I'm going to stay in the group for a bit if that's ok as there could be a miraculous turn of events...but unlikely! I won't upset anyone by moaning on though!

Hope everyone has had a good day x

@Sh4mmy sorry that you have been left in such limbo! Ur head must be away! Vent and moan all you want, this is what these forums are for, ttc, pregnancy and parenthood aren’t all sunshine and rainbows. Please use us as ur safe place to vent. Hugs to u. Fingers, toes and everything crossed that it’s a positive outcome x

@Sh4mmy will keep my fingers crossed it good news for you. Waiting for scans is so hard. I had my 7 week one this morning x

@Sh4mmy sorry you are really going through it with having to go back and forth for scans and the wait. Sending you hugs and keeping fingers crossed that you get positive news. Like @2020wish said, please continue to post on here whenever if it helps you - for me, it’s a safe space to talk about things I can’t always with the people around me xxx

Hi everyone! Congratulations! I had my positive test last week but I did another test this evening because it just doesn't feel real. Still positive though! I'm starting to let myself hope, we were a looooong time trying. Anyway, hello.

@Sh4mmy we are here for you. Talk to us, don’t be alone xx

Does anyone else have symptoms one day and nothing the next. I was so sick yesterday and sore boobs... today nothing! Wish I had them all the time so at least I don’t wonder what’s going on!

@Sh4mmy please moan and continue to moan. Many of us here have been in a similar boat, we’re all here to support each other. Please don’t feel bad about your feelings that are so very valid.

I have scan tomorrow at the EPU. Very nervous about it as DP isn’t allowed in, my last three pregnancies have ended in losses and we are very much in last chance saloon.

Let’s talk boobs... my boobs are swollen and sore. And the whole nipple area, well you could land a helicopter on them.

Am I the only one??

@Sh4mmy that’s almost exactly what happened with my most recent miscarriage. It’s horrible being passed from here to there to everywhere isn’t it? There was all sorts of “theories” about what might be happening being thrown around and it just felt like they were delaying the inevitable by not actually coming up with a plan. I basically felt like a diagnostic problem/inconvenience and it really didn’t help the situation. Ditto the being sat in the same room as super pregnant people. Well apart from the time that they eventually formulated a plan so they made me sit in the small sad room as I call it. Anyway I’m really sorry. It’s the absolute pits and being kept hanging on just makes it feel worse doesn’t it?

I’m 6+6 today and somewhat pooing myself that I don’t really have any symptoms. Only because the only pregnancies I’ve had with no symptoms were unsuccessful ones, I felt grim with DD and DS. But then I have to remember that I’m probably actually more like 6+1/2 as I don’t think I ovulated until later going by cramps etc. So perhaps it won’t be too much longer before I remember why the first trimester is utter crap. Not a lot I can do about it anyway since they won’t scan me without bleeding and there’s nowhere within a 2 hour drive that does private scans here now so we shall just sit it out and hope for the best. Booking phone call is 4th at 1pm and I’m hoping that DS doesn’t feel the need to scream at me loudly during it because his jabs are that morning 🙈. Would like to be excited but my history won’t let me yet. Only 6/7 more weeks before my scan hopefully (I’m guessing 7/14th September as they only do dating scans on Mondays here and those are the two that are nearest to 12 weeks without being too far over).

@Clara9 same here! Awful nausea and no will to move yesterday and previous day, right as rain today and even went for a run. I think its OK, trying not to dwell and worry and rather just enjoy it. I keep wishing time away and i dont want to look back and feel like the first 12 weeks were full of nothing but anxiety. Easier said than done hey...Xx

My boobs started getting sore on Sunday and now my nipples are so so so sore. Can’t touch them or have clothes rub on them and always hard lol not complaining tho... I’ll happily take any symptom if it means a full term healthy pregnancy
