March 2021 babies

[Sussexbysea]

Hi everyone,

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

@Sh4mmy same old. No reason to worry other than I have no symptoms, so I’m sure it’s going to go the same way as last time. Debating whether to book a private early scan but will wait to see what midwives say when I get my booking in appt and if the NHS one will be before Sept, I’ll hang on.

My worry is my NHS scan is when I go back to work and the same happens then I’m sat waiting for two weeks for a follow up scan when you already know the outcome so you just sit waiting to miscarry or have intervention if it doesn’t start itself.

Hoping I’m worrying unnecessarily but when you’ve gone through it once, you can’t help but worry that history is repeating itself. I’m 6 weeks today and just want to feel sick for peace of mind but nothing.

How are you doing? I know how difficult it is to not know one way or another and to have to wait. It’s agonising.

@Zenianna @Shinygreenelephant I am also a teacher. My school asked for the information and so I told them. Then my reply was just thanks for letting us know - no extra precautions for me - normal timetable, normal duties, mark books as usual. I am really unhappy that they demanded to know but just to say they are not doing anything extra for me.

@Sh4mmy I live on the coast too, so many round here too. I hate it when they make the beach ones overpriced, they should have a residents discount

@BabySweet85 I expect that will be the same for me too. To be honest I don’t want to be off but it does worry me. I went back in June and found teaching my bubble difficult but I’ll have 20 now and it’s a squeeze, so I could only be 2 metres away if I stay in a fixed space permanently which would be impossible.

@Oldermum80 bless you, the wait is horrible isn't it? How quickly could you get a private scan? Might help to put your mind at ease? Do you know when your booking appt is yet?

I really hope you're worrying for nothing, not sure I can say anything that will help, just try to relax and sit tight, easier said than done I know!

I'm ok thanks, just so nervous about my appt this morning as I'm convinced it's bad news and so I don't know what the next steps would even entail! Last time I had the pessary to start the MC but it's so different this time!

Anyway, hope you manage to chill a bit xx

@Sussexbysea ha ha that would be great, although I'd then eat them even more 😂😂

@Sh4mmy goodluck for your appt today. Sending lots of love and luck x

@BabySweet85 @Shinygreenelephant Thank you. Nice to have some other teachers on here.

I expect my work will be exactly the same, there won't be any changes but they want to know, so I'll probably have to tell them. Feels wrong to tell work before I've even told my mum though...

Got my reassurance scan today ladies! So excited and nervous at the same time!!

@Sh4mmy what time is your appointment?

Congratulations to everyone that has lovely scans.

I have woke up feeling more hungover today and gutted I couldn't stomach my decaf tea! X

@Sh4mmy I could get seen next week privately but I messaged them for details and asked what would happen if I booked but miscarried beforehand. They said it’s a 48 hour cancellation policy. I know it’s a business but it’s not like you can predict it, so I might try for a last minute appt.
Midwives have my details but waiting on a call to book me in.
I hope everything goes ok for you today. The waiting is the worst part and although you have it in your head that it’s bad news you can’t help but hope that you are wrong. I spent two weeks obsessively trawling through mumsnet into the early hours looking for positive stories.

@Zenianna @Shinygreenelephant yes great to have fellow teachers on here. I am secondary so it is year group bubbles of 250 students and I am teaching all year groups in September. That is the main thing that worries me x

Hi ladies,

Please may I join?
6 weeks tomorrow and due 27th March 2021 xx

@Babafarmer know how you feel. Woke yesterday feeling fine after a few ginger biscuits but today I feel like I've been hit by a bus. Hungover and sick 🤢

Best of luck today @Sh4mmy, I’ll be thinking of you 🌺

@JTB123 welcome! How are you feeling? I am due March 17th after 2-3 years of TTC - IVF baby x

Welcome @JTB123 I'm one day behind you and due 28th March. Welcome! How are you feeling?

I’m a teacher too! @Zenianna. Haven’t told school yet, waiting until after my 7 week scan to see if the pregnancy is viable.

For those of you feeling absolutely rubbish like me... it's worth getting your blood levels checked at the GP. MY OH kept telling me my weakness and tiredness was just a symptom of pregnancy and I agreed until I felt like I had the flu constantly. Today they confirmed my iron levels have significantly dropped out of range which is probably causing me to feel so crap. They just advised taking pregnacare to boost levels as I'm only taking vit D and folic acid. Hopefully I start to feel better in a few days. Wishing you all the best! And good luck to everyone else having scans today

Hi ladies - can I join? ☺️ firstly so sorry for those that haven't had things gone to plan and goodluck for those with scans / appointments today?

Anyone else struggling to control their anxiety? 😩

Going from LMP I'm 7 weeks today, but I have PCOS so irregular cycles meaning I think I'm only 6 weeks today. I done a clear blue digi test last Friday evening and got 2-3 and done one again this morning expecting 3+ and still got 2-3. This along with my lack of symptoms is making me incredibly anxious for my scan on Sunday! 😭

Anyone able to offer some reassuring words to stop me thinking the worst?:(

@Phie04 I’ve been thinking this about myself. The past few weeks I’ve moaned that I don’t feel pregnant, sore boobs and very gassy and that was it. Now the past four day’s I’ve been absolutely floored with sickness, I can’t even get out of bed. Feels like a horrendous hangover, can’t eat or drink anything just need to sleep all day.
I have a scan at 2pm after some bleeding yesterday so hopefully all goes well and they can tell me if I should be taking anything else.

Hi I would like to join this I am due March 2021 but not sure what date yet till scan confirms :)

@Bearcub01 its a good idea to speak to them. I have felt the exact same and had to have time off work! Good luck at your scan today. Mines at 1.45

Hi everyone, sorry I've not tagged all of you who've been checking in on me, my heads mashed!

Just got out of my appointment, not good
News 😢! They can’t see any growth with sac or a baby but they have to rescan me next week, just to make sure, even though they and I both know there is no chance of this progressing! I can’t even start the procedure to remove it until then! They’ve said it’s most likely a missed miscarriage! 😢 I don’t know how I feel about anything! Do I keep hanging on and hoping or do I try to get my head in a better place and decide the best procedure for the removal? Any thoughts or experiences would be gratefully received xx

@Sh4mmy that must be so tough.

I’m so sorry, but I can’t quite remember what triggered this all? Did you have bleeding?xx
