March 2021 babies

[Sussexbysea]

Hi everyone,

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

Hi everyone, I'd like to join you Currently 7+6 I think, had my booking appt on Monday which was in person at home. This will be pregnancy no.2, DS1 is nearly 15 months. Had bad nausea from the start and tiredness, but boobs are only just starting to get sore which is making bf very uncomfortable. Contemplating a private scan but also trying my best to hold out to the nhs one!!
Lovely to be hear about some of the positive scans some have had, x

@Sussexbysea I'm doing better now the pregnacare has kicked in thanks. Still a little nausea but able to get rid of it a lot easier. So glad to hear your scan went ok!

Hi everyone, can I join 🙋‍♀️. I’m currently 8+4. Due 13th March. It’s my 3rd pregnancy had 1 mmc and have 1 5 year old daughter. I’ve had a a couple of bleeds. I had a scan at 6 weeks and all was fine. Had 2 bleeds since but midwife says if I’m not bleeding on to a pad then it’s fine. I do also have a cervical ectropion so I know everything points to being all ok. I can’t help but be a nervous wreck though. I’ve had bad nausea and tired but today it’s all gone. 😫 I’m booked in for a private scan on Sunday so hoping all is well and trying to get through till then. x

I’m 8+5 and the nausea is an absolute killer. I haven’t been sick yet but I thought I was going to be one night last week. It’s all the waking hours too. As much as I hate it though, it’s a comfort after three consecutive losses!

@bobloblawlawblog @Chloetipper I got Promethazine too after one phonecall to the GP, so grateful. It eased things slightly for one day but bad again so trying Cylezine tomorrow

Morning everyone!

Do we have a Facebook group set up yet? I'm still part of my one for DC1 and found it a great source of support right from day 1. Would be lovely to have one soon so that it's easier to ask advice etc. Could somebody tell me how to join please if there is already one? My one for DC1 is completely hidden so none of my fb friends could see I had joined it.

Just think it would be nice to have that extra support especially in these tricky early weeks!

Morning all. Nausea has hit hard this morning, I can cope with being sick just not the constant feeling I'm going to be sick.
Heading out for the day tomorrow with hubby and Ds so 🤞🏻 there's no actual sickness although sickness is a good sign.
@bumblingalonghappily I would be up for joining a Facebook group aslong as it was completely private and no one could see I'd joined.

@Aurora124 good luck for your scan on Monday. I've booked one for a week on Saturday I'll be 8+5 by then so will hopefully see everything is ok and my husband can come with me as well.

@BatKat @Oldermum80 @DSP21 @JTB123

I am a constant boob proffer I think my husband it totally jealous x

@Babafarmer although i poked them this morn and they don't hurt, and I had a nightmare I misscarried :( when will this anxiety end!

I'm the same i have hardly any symptoms and salary from being a bit tired I feel normal. I had awful pains and worry that the mean something. The only this that gives me hope is that I tracked my BBT when trying and I have continued to track it my temperature had remained elevated. The anxiety is awful. I suffer anxiety anyway so finding this first trimester really though. I have another early scan booked on the 15th and 9 days seems so long away but I've done 15 since my scan at EPU so I'm getting closer. Then I only have 19 to wait until my 12 week scan x

@Lowprofilename aw! My app says I'm due the 24th March but I haven't seen a midwife yet as I have to be referred due to wanting to be at a certain hospital and it's driving me crazy as I keep getting cramps and pains mainly on the left

I'm due on 25 March based on my LMP so 7 weeks today. No sickness or nausea but I've gone off food. I feel hungry but there's nothing I want to eat. I tried to eat normally yesterday but it was a real battle. I'm just going to graze today and eat what I feel I can stomach. I think it'll be a bit of Marmite on toast for lunch, as I can't face soup or a sandwich or fruit or any of the stuff I normally eat.

No matter what I eat recently I'm on the toilet, I hate it 😩 is anyone else suffering with diarrhoea so early?!

@aureliacecilia that’s how I feel too. I go to make something and nothing at all seems appealing and it’s foods I normally love. I had to make a salad sandwich for my tea yesterday as there was nothing at all I fancied having.
I keep telling myself I’m imagining it but maybe I do actually have signs!
My due date is the day after you. No sickness, occasionally feel a bit icky like my mouth waters and I think I might feel sick but then I talk myself out of it and I’m fine so think it’s all in my head!

Got my midwife appt through today, 19th August. In my last pregnancy I bled 2/3 days after my reassurance scan so hoping I pass that day next week and it’s a good sign that all is still ok.

Holding out on the private scan for now. Trying to just keep positive that I have no pains or bleeding and so although I don’t feel pregnant, I still am.

Struggling to take my vitamins now I’ve got the right ones. They are like horse tablets does anyone know of any small ones?

@aureliacecilia I've had this too, such a weirdly frustrating feeling! I wander hopelessly around the kitchen, opening and closing the fridge (which is clean but I still hate the smell of because apparently pregnancy has turned me into a sniffer dog).

Anyone have a scan this morning, I know there are a couple today.

My nausea ramps up unless I’m eating all the time. I feel awful today, mouth keeps filling up with water.

I’m finding I can manage lunch but not dinner. So much so, straight after our daughter went to bed, we ordered a maccies. Lush!!

My nausea and boobs seems to have subsided a little today and I keep getting mild pains in my stomach. Hoping everything is still fine.

@Sussexbysea I can also manage some lunch but come tea time I can't face anything. My husband gave me a scone and jam last night so I would eat something but I couldn't even face that and I can only manage one cup of tea a day at the minute.

Trigger warning - mentions abuse

@JTB123 I've had an awful stomach too. Since 4 weeks I've been running to the toilet, I've actually lost weight. For me I know it is the increase in hormones because I had it with my first baby and I get it every period.
It's eased a little now because my body is adjusting. I also found cheese was a trigger for me lately so I think my intollerance must be up.

I finally got in touch with my midwives horray!
I have a booking appointment week after next by phone so I will be 8+4 weeks and I have my private scan this Monday coming at 7+3. I'm so scared for the scan but my bf is taking me so at least I'll have him.

I'm not sure how the booking appointment will be on the phone because it seems really impersonal, I have a complicated case because my ex husband was mentally abusive and lied and told the midwives I was on drugs at my last booking appointment. He made me to out to be an unfit mum and mentally unstable because he didn't want me to feel like I could leave. I know all this will be in my notes probably so I'm a bit worried about the questions I might get. I have a lot of trauma and healing to do through this pregnancy and I don't know if I can convey that all through the phone. Sorry I have sort of rambled, we've not told anyone about the pregnancy so I don't really have anyone to talk to, my bf works long hours and I work from home doing a PhD.

@EmzG20 I love a cup of tea, I’d drink it all day but even the taste of that makes me feel a bit off.

I’m thinking of making toasted chicken sandwiches, with breaded garlic mushrooms on the side. My cravings are mushrooms and boiled eggs swimming in salad cream.

A quick evening snack for me (when I can handle it) is super noodles.

@KatyCherry23 I didn’t want to read your comment and not say anything. I have no experience of what you’ve been through, but we are all great listeners here. I wonder if you could explain to the midwife that you’d rather see her face to face due to previous experiences? I’m sure they would be ok xx

@Sussexbysea thank you. I think sometimes just saying it releases some of the weight for me because it's stuff I have repressed but it's starting to come back. I did ask for a face to face but my trust seems to be completely on lockdown because they have even shut the hospital. I think they are so over streched the only way they can manage is through telephone appointments. I live in a seaside town so I totally understand why they are doing it this way. I just hope she understands.
