Due March 2023 ✨👶☀️🌈

[Loouloo]

Hi all lovely people!

Here’s a thread for all March babies 🥰 I got my BFP this morning at 10dpo with a due date on the 10th of March 2023. I suffered a miscarriage at 7 weeks in early March so it feels special that we get our rainbow 🌈 baby around the one year mark!

A little about me: I’m 27, living in Sweden with my fiancé. This is our first child and we’ve really longed for this baby and desperately hoping it will stick this time!

Welcome to this journey, please tell me a little bit about you!

@Anon2324 no I'm sure it doesn't! My hospital is huge so it's unlikely I'll see anyone from my unit. I guess our colleagues will be supportive if we do see them.

Hi all ,
I found out at the weekend I am expecting and I am due in march 23. This will be my first baby. Unfortunately I experienced a missed misscarriage In Feb 22 at 8 weeks at a early pregnancy scan. Feeling positive and hoping all goes well this time 💟

@RhiRhi1988 I’m having a scan on Saturday when I’ll be 6+3 and I also got my 3+ on Friday when I was 5+2 so we are quite similar 😊

@Kayleehawkes we are in quite a similar situation!! Hope all goes well x

@Anon2324

I just read your thread , yes we are. It's very scary but I hope this time it works out. I have got some really heightened symptoms already and my stomach feels different then last time if that makes sense. Do you think your have a early scan ?

@Kayleehawkes im not sure because i had multiple early scans the first time and I think it made me more anxious!

@Anon2324 I know exactly what you mean I am very conflicted. I am glad I have joined this forum, because of what happened previously I am scared of telling people. But like I said I am trying to stay positive and stay calm x

I told my parents & partners parents over the weekend and it feels a lot more real now! Think I’m going to hold out to tell everyone else at 12 weeks now 🤐

Anyone EXTREMELY bloated??🤣 i look 4/5 months gone hahahaha

@Anon2324 I do but I don’t know if it’s down to all the chocolate and carbs I’m eating! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone suffering with Restless legs at night?? Can't fall asleep and when I do it's such a crap sleep!! 3/4th night for me and I'm exhausted 😴 😴

@Anon2324 yes, I'm 4w5d and in maternity trousers already as my stomach is so bloated

Now I’m freaking out! Top test is Sunday afternoon and bottom test is this morning. Historically, I always get lighter tests in first thing in the morning and I’m really hoping this is the case. Now I have to wait 3hrs but I’m so worried 😞 Why oh why am I still testing!!!

@Anon2324 me 🙋 but I live in leggings so they stretch nicely to contain it all! Still considering buying some maternity leggings though.

@Curlywurly3 looks like a really good strong line to me, what's made you worried?

@TeddyBeans the top test is stronger as it’s a dye stealer, the test line has taken dye from the control line. Todays test shows the test line is lighter than Sundays and the control line darker. It means the HCG is lower in todays urine than it was on Sundays

@Eastybaby19 me!! I get this anyway for time to time but it's been really bad since getting our positive. My feet get really really hot with it 🥵 how many weeks are you?

@TeddyBeans stop testing lovely, the result won't ever be 100% accurate and you are going to stress yourself out if you can see differences.

Sorry I meant to tag @Curlywurly3 not @TeddyBeans !

Im thinking i might not be as far along as I though I was since my last period was 2 weeks long. The strip tests im doing are getting darker but they are still quite faint! Think im going to go get a digital one

Yep I was right! Only around 3/4 weeks then?

@mariabombia do you know if anything helps it's awful!! I'm working full time & have an almost 3 year old to run after too I need my sleep 🤣 I think I'm around 5+2 what about you?

@Eastybaby19 weird as it sounds a fan on my legs and a cold flannel on my feet 🤣If they're freezing cold they don't seem as restless. Please let me know if you find anything else useful.

I think i'm 5+6 today, having some mild pelvic aches this afternoon

Hello all and congratulations. I found out Saturday that I am pregnant. Completely unplanned and still going through the many ups,downs and emotions of what to do and what our future holds, as a couple who never wanted children.
Thought I'd join in and say hi 😊

@Suchasmilingsweetheart congrats and Hi 👋 it really is a emotional rollcoaster! All the emotions x

Thanks both. It feels strange not to be quite happy just yet, feeling very odd about it all!
Symptoms so far are just such a heavy heavy feeling lower pelvis/abdomen, miles cramps which seem to be easing, lower back ache, weeing more, not sleeping well, sore boobs, waves of mild nausea. 🤦‍♀️ oh and sorry if TMI but increased sex drive that has come out of no where! Hormones 👍🙈
