Thread for anyone due in March 2021 💜 including those due end of February and early April 😊

@KatyCherry23 got the better of me this morning and I sent my scan photos into the nubologists! 😂

Looks like we're having a girl!!! 💗💗💗

All these gender announcements are making me want to book in for another private scan to find out haha. My 20 week on the NHS is still 7 weeks away!!

@emmafou1807 Yes and no. The nausea has pretty much gone but the growing pains and need to pee have risen! I have no bump yet as I'm a bigger gal, so I'm definitely a bit envious of all the lovely bumps I'm seeing! But I know mine will come in time, I'm just impatient 😂

@emmafou1807 I'm finding out at 16 weeks so two weeks tomorrow I wanted to make sure my partner could come in but turns out he can come into my 20 week scan now anyways 😂

Aww @MrsAndMrs congratulations! Sorry to be the bad influence 😂😂 it's hard to resist isn't it!

@KatyCherry23 its so hard to resist!! 😂 we thought we were having a girl but still feeling a little shocked! 😂

@TheFoz I'm following in your footsteps! On antibiotics now for a UTI and a chest infection. Need to sort a covid test to rule it out and I'm still having sickness.... would love to be in the boat of some of you ladies who say you have no symptoms at the moment luckily I'm still off work so can chill out. I'm just normally so well.

Aaaah @MrsAndMrs I’m so jealous! I sent mine to the Nubologists last week and they said they couldn’t tell m. Kind of wasn’t surprised as I had a good look for the nub myself and couldn’t see anything but was still hoping they might be able to tell. Congratulations though - how exciting!

@LottieX how are you getting on with your bloating? After some trial and error it turns out mine was because baby has made me gluten intolerant, so I cut out gluten and my stomach is back to normal size and not solid or painful anymore. Might not be the same for you but maybe worth a try 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Calgoose I wasn't confident they would be able to tell either as there was only 1-2 good photos you could really see anything but so chuffed 💗

@MrsAndMrs will you still have a gender scan? I'm not in a position to send in a pic, don't have a clear enough one yet but thinking about it

@noor777 or anyone else. If people are wanting to join the other fb group (the previously created one) please let me know. Obviously no pressure and I'm not plugging chosing the old group over the new one but you can only get in by being invited so I'm leaving the offer open. There have been a couple who've shown an interest in joining both.

I'm sure other details will be up soon enough about the new group.

@holb54 yeah I've booked and paid for it already plus its just another reassurance scan for me too. I just couldn't help myself this morning! 🙈
I didn't think my photos were gonna be clear enough but it says you'll get a full refund if they can't tell

Well I've booked a gender scan 🥳 14th of October, so excited!!

@MrsAndMrs thank you was just wondering that! Your due date is near mine I think (15th), when have you booked your gender scan? I don't know when to book mine for, nervous I'll go too early and they'll say a gender and it'll be wrong because I was too early 😂

@emmafou1807 I cut out fizzy/carbonated drinks and onion/garlic and it's seemed to have helped alongside learning I can't eat a normal person sized meal any more! Glad you've got to the bottom of your problem though!

Im having major bump anxiety, this is my first and I'm just looking a bit squidgey with no defined bump, anyone else?

I'm the same LottieX now the bloating has gone I'm just squidgy with no bump. Its my first so I know it could take longer to appear and I'm the end of March so 3/4 weeks behind some of the guys posting bump pictures. I'm sure ours will appear at some point.

@LottieX Definitely no bump here yet, I think thats normal for first pregnancies! My belly is actually smaller than it was a few weeks ago! I'm a bit squidgey too though.

Aw I'm jealous of all the nub -genders, our photo is quite zoomed in so can only see head and belly, no nub! The skull looks male I think though. Only 2 weeks to wait.

@holb54 yeah I'm the 16th and my gender scan is booked for 2nd October. My Ovia app put on a update yesterday that said babys outer genitalia will be fully formed now so that reassured me a little! 😂

@MrsAndMrs thank you (again!), I'm thinking going mid October, so tempted to book earlier though.. haha yes I have the same app 😂

I have my gender scan at 9.30 tomorrow- can’t wait!

Hey guys just wanted to check in regarding the Facebook group, I'm going to make it Sunday! I'll only be posting the link here and when you send in a request to join it, there will be a question to answer which will just be "where did you hear of this group" and you'll answer "mumsnet" and that's it! The group will be private meaning only members will see what's in the group but just to add a bit of security for those who aren't public with their pregnancies yet, I will be giving it the name 'A helping hand' (an earlier suggestion from a user here, sorry I can't remember who 🤦🏼‍♀️) and the cover photo will not be baby related. The question of where you found the group is only to prevent people who might see it on Facebook and think it's genuinely a charity group 😂 If anyone wants me to change anything or has any concerns just tag me in a comment! This thread will continue to run alongside it 😊

How exciting! Thanks @holb54! I really don’t want people on FB to know so the more private the group the better xx

Thanks @holb54

@LottieX I actually tried posting something about meal sizes earlier and it failed. I can't get through a regular size meal at all! I think I've figured it out, but I still find myself handing my plate to my husband to finish.

I'm ravenous the rest of the time though...give me all of the sugary snacks 😂 anybody having proper cravings? Mine seem to be for sour fizzy sweets which wouldn't be usual for me at all.

@ChilternsHan I can't get through a regular meal and I've usually a great appetite! Just get so full and bloated so quick.. my biggest craving is the fizzy gummy bears from Lidl 😂
