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

@Phie04 so is mine lol

I wasn't too bothered by boy or girl. I'm crap with girly stuff and boyish stuff in equal measure.

As I see it, I have no interest in chasing laser pointers, but I still love how excited my cats get over them. Hoping it'll be the same with my child, whether he loves ballet, rugby or... laser pointers.

@ValidUser what an amazing bump 😍

Baby is all fine & I'm actually a week further along than I thought. Due date has moved to 18th March and I'm 13+5.

@Sussexbysea welcome back. I'm so pleased you got good results and you can know be excited. I bet the wait was absolutely awful.

I'm not bothered what we have we have about half and half on each side of the family. We are finding out but neither grandparents want to know so we have to keep it quiet. But we have decided that if anyone specifically asks what we are having we'll say otherwise we'll just keep it too ourselves xx

@Wren1986 it’s absolutely heart wrenching. I’m here if you need a chat though, I totally understand what you’re going through. Xx

@aureliacecilia that's great news! You're 3 days ahead of me now 😊

@Wren1986 I hope you get the news you were hoping for. Did they send you for the extra testing? Sorry I'm a bit behind

Is anyone else suffering with really bad headaches? Nothing is working and I work with children all day so I'm on the go constantly.

@Usplusone have you heard anything further in regards to a plan. I'm hoping you can get some positivity from @Sussexbysea outcome. X

Thanks, @holb54. Feel like I've lost a week somewhere as I'm very nearly 14 weeks now!

@EmzG20 I've gone from rare migraines to 3 a week. Killer!

Thanks @Sussexbysea hopefully we'll know by the end of the week.
@KatyCherry23 we had to pay for it as I'm just on the wrong side (or right depending upon how you look at it!) of the high risk cut off for downs. Chances are it's all fine but I would go crazy in the next 6 months without the extra reassurance.

@EmzG20 are you drinking lots of water throughout the day?

Hi ladies, hope you’re all well

I had my 12 week scan yesterday afternoon and had good news but didn’t feel right posting about it after the sad news on here yesterday. I am so sorry for the ladies who did not have good news or are having to wait for results and send my best wishes to you

My partner was allowed in yesterday which was great but I had “a technically difficult scan” because a) my bladder was too full (I emptied my bladder an hour before and drank a pint gradually?!?! 🤷‍♀️), so had to empty it, and b) “bowel gas” was obscuring the view for a little while (mortified! 😳). So it took a while to get measurements and our photos weren’t the clearest! But baby is looking healthy I am just waiting to hear back on screening results so fingers crossed all is ok. I made my mum a little card with pics from yesterday’s scan and my private scan and told her and my sister yesterday evening and they are over the moon. Was so relieved to finally tell them as I have been too scared to tell a soul except you lovely ladies.

I’m still convinced we’re having a boy and wondering what others think, but I don’t mind either way what sex we have, I am just happy all is looking ok so far xxx

Also, I was told I may have a ‘tilted uterus’ so that may have been causing issues at the scan too! I just googled it and it may explain some other things! xxx

@Mrs1989 delighted you'd good news! If I'd to guess I think I'd go boy 💙 had to laugh outloud at "bowel gas" 😂😂😂

@holb54 thank you 😊 everything so far is pointing to a boy! DH and I have ONE boy’s name we love and both agree on, so that’s good 😂 if we are lucky enough to have another boy in the future we will have to rack our brains! He dislikes all my other boys’ names!

I actually had written on my notes “This was a technically difficult scan due to bowel gas” 😳!! It seemed to become an issue only after I’d emptied my (obviously flipping ridiculously small) badder! I didn’t feel gassy at all and was a little worried the sonographer thought I was holding something in! I did say “I hope it’s not just me who has this problem!” and apparently I’m not 😂 xxx

@TheFoz yes it's about the only thing I drink during the day and am drinking a lot.

@Mrs1989 I think boy too!

I had bowel gas obscuring my ovary at my first scan at the fertility clinic a few years ago. Not rare at all! 😂

I love the fact we all find bowel gas so funny 😂

Thanks @ValidUser and glad to hear it’s not just me! 😂

@Enjoy07 😂 I’m glad I’ve posted something to make people laugh! I had to laugh at the scan to cover up my embarrassment!

@Mrs1989 Lovely scan! Glad you've been able to have a giggle despite the awkwardness!

So lovely that some of you are getting bumps now! I'm a chubby lass so I won't have a bump for a while, but I don't mind. 😂

@Mrs1989 me and my fiance are the same, just the one boy name at the moment and nothing yet for a girl 😂
