March 2021 due dates

[Phie04]

New thread for when the other runs out ladies! @bobloblawlawblog
@Sussexbysea
I have no other tags can you add please

I know it's a long shot but doesn't anyone know if the partner can come into the booking appointment?

@DSP21 Lovely news! I'm sure there will be a few of us here that slip into April anyway.

@chloxhunt I imagine it would depend on your health trust, but also they ask some questions that they wouldn't ask in front of your OH (safety at home etc). To reassure you, the appointment I had (by phone) was straightforward and the midwife was really lovely and easy to talk to.

@ChilternsHan ahhh okay thank you! I know they ask some how concerns too from both side of the family and he'll be better at answering for his side than me lol

Thank you to all of you that messaged! This group has been my saviour. I pretty much check it every time I get a notification 😂 (i'm childless and work for myself)

Just had a pretty slow day after feeling a bit emotionally drained. Also puts my mind at ease with the lack of symptoms as I'm a week behind what I thought.

Time to sit back with an ice lolly I think!

Just got my first migraine in months haven't had once since before lockdown so I'm hoping I'm not going to get them all the time now I'm pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️

@chloxhunt I've been to my booking appointment today and I wasn't allowed to take my partner with me but it will depend on your local nhs trust

Oh @DSP21 that was a rollercoaster! I’m so glad it’s got a happy ending! Like others have said I wouldn’t worry about being a week out, and please do stick around!
Are they going to scan you again?

Glad all is well @DSP21!

@aureliacecilia thank yooou!!

@TheFoz what a rollercoaster indeed. So many things run through your mind in those moments, how to tell hubby, when can you start trying again, will I even be ready, should we just wait, what will happen next..I needed a good few minutes to cry and compose myself when she showed the little bean flickering away. She said she was happy with measurements and there was no need to scan again until 12 weeks. I have my first appt with the midwife on Monday to take bloods etc then another 5 weeks till the scan. Every day is like living on the edge at the moment!

Inside of my thighs are starting to hurt now I'm only 8 weeks🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Hi all, I was on the last thread and have fallen a little behind with joining this one! Just catching up on all your messages!

Great news @DSP21! Hope you are feeling much better now with that wonderful news

I’m 7+2 today and had my booking appointment over the phone yesterday. Blimey, it involved a lot of questions! I am due 28th March according to first day of last period, so I may also be one of the March ladies who ends up being an April lady!

Aside from cramping and needing to pee a lot in the earlier weeks, and feeling KNACKERED all the time, I haven’t had much in the way of symptoms. I have felt a little queasy and delicate over the last couple of days but it’s nothing compared to what some ladies have been describing. I have gone off some foods but continue to love carbs and cheese and end up ravenous last thing at night! Haven’t gone off fruit and veg, so that is good at least. For all the ladies with small boobies from the last thread, mine still don’t hurt at all and are still tiny! (Please grow - now has to be my time!)

This will be mine and DH’s first child but it is my second pregnancy - I had an early miscarriage in January. I am scared that it’s all going to be snatched away again, and we haven’t told anybody. I am trying to keep positive and will try to hold out until 9 weeks to arrange an early scan unless I start getting worrying symptoms before then. It still doesn’t feel real and I agree with another lady who posted earlier that not many people consider the mental health impact of being pregnant. The miscarriage has really affected me and I feel it has robbed me of any feeling of happiness during this pregnancy or any future pregnancies, and that makes me really sad. But I will have to plod on in the hope we get our baby this time. My midwife said based on how I’d answered some questions that I should do a self-referral for counselling, so that is my next step.

Wishing all the ladies on here all the best and thanks for continuing this lovely thread

dsp21 great news, hurrah!

I’m now on my third set of drugs for morning sickness, felt bit better yesterday so hopefully they are kicking in rather than that just being me having a good day!

@zeahra is your message for anyone specifically?

Good morning all, I've been following this thread for a while and thought it was time I joined in I'm due March 15th, had my booking in app in person last Friday (husband was allowed to come!) and I got my 12 week scan date through yesterday for 3 weeks time. It's my first and the nausea and tiredness have been awful so far!

It's been so nice to follow along with you all, and I'm so glad most have had good news in recent scans!

Anyone else constantly nauseated but not vomiting? I feel crap but there's just no physical vomiting. Lost weight due to lack of appetite even though I'm on steroids. (No medical concern with the weight loss, just curious.)

Sorry for the slow reply, not been checking the thread as much this week, but am so please for you @DSP21. Glad it was good news and hope you’re feeling better

Yes @ValidUser ! I feel awful. 20 weeks today and actually spent Sunday night in hospital as my dizziness was just getting worse. Turns out despite drinking lots my blood pressure was low.
I'm off work this week now to try and rest but feel rubbish if I'd do anything more than sit still really.

But they tell me this is totally normal!?!? Hoping it settles down over the next few weeks. Have you spoken to your gp or midwife??

10 weeks not 20.... fat fingers!!!

Glad I'm not alone @ElsiesJourney! I'm a doctor and I know (at least locally) first line is likely promethazine, which I've taken before and it gave me restless legs. I'm also driving a 3 hour round trip to work, and know I'd be drowsy even the next day.

If it gets worse I'll go in and ask about ondansetron, but for now I'm holding off!

How are we all feeling today. My nausea was definitely worse this morning than it has been I couldn't even have a shower.
I've got a strange niggly pain just to the left of my belly button, it's not really hurting as such feels a bit like a pulled muscle and comes and goes. Any body had this? I've got a scan on Saturday

@EmzG20 I have left sided pain since really early on. We did ivf so I had a 6 week scan, so definitely not ectopic. I think it's just a bit of stretching. Hopefully your scan reassures you too.

@ValidUser I've been the same since 4 weeks, constant nausea but I've only actually been sick twice. I find eating small meals often helps as I feel worse when I've got an empty stomach or if I eat a normal size meal! It's hard to make yourself eat when you feel sick but personally I do find it helps most of the time.

Hello, I just wanted to come on and say thank you for the support the last few days, it was nice to have people to talk to since I found this website.
Unfortunately it isn’t meant to be for me, I had my routine 9 week scan today that showed a formed baby, but with no heartbeat. I had seen a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks, so it was a bit of a shock. Words can’t describe how upset I am at the moment & in a way I wish I hadn’t seen the baby as I was shocked at how well formed it was. I’ve now got to wait til Monday to discuss ways to remove it. Not posting this to scare anyone, just wanted to share my sad ending and wishing you all a happy & healthy pregnancy X

I have felt nauseous for about a week now, but not enough to take anything anti-sickness, just enough to feel crappy. I'm hoping it goes by the second trimester and I'm not one of the ones who has sickness all the way through!
