## March 2018 Mummies Tri 1 Thread ##

[Haylian]

Morning ladies,

I have my dating scan today even though I'm only 11 + 1 or thereabouts. Nervous and excited!
Nausea and fatigue are fading but boobs still sore at times.
Although this is my first I am surprised at how much my tummy is rounded and firm.

Ljd401, DH and I are hoping to start trying again for our second once our first is about 6 months, we want to have all our kids close together (ideally we would like 3). We're not getting any younger and figure we may as well make it tough for ourselves for a few years of nappies and chaos!

Ooh how lovely exciting! I think you're the first one to have a dating scan in the Mach mummies aren't you? Do let us know how you get on.

hello all

Had my 7 weeks scan yesterday, and we just sneak into March 2018 with a DD of 28th. Can I join you all on here?

Suddenly this all seems very real.......

Hi Moose1. Welcome and congratulations my current Edd is also 28th March. We like that date in here haha

Hi all

I've got a doctors appt this afternoon, where hopefully they will tell me everything I need to know about what happens next (other than bowling ball leaving my body in about 7 months time). This is our first child, and I cannot believe how little I know.

We are IVF, hence why we know the EDD so early, although the consultant was at great pains to tell us that other doctors and midwives will probably try to change it due to scans and sizes, and that we are not to let them as we know "conception" to the hour!!

I'm waiting for him to email through the pictures from Wednesday's scan, then the plan is to tell parents this weekend. I'm not sure about telling other people - I know that it is "normal" to wait till 12 weeks, but in reality the people I would be likely to tell would also be the people that I would ant around me if we are unfortunate and lose the baby before 12 weeks...so I probably will start to tell people that need to know. At present that really isn't that many, as I took VR at the beginning of the year, so no work complications to negotiate!

I'm feeling pretty crap. I'm nauseous most days (although not for the last 2, so fingers crossed that is a good sign), and so damn tired. Most afternoons are spent cuddled up with the dog snoozing on the sofa, which is no bad thing, but I am feeling a bit guilty. I've piled on weight like nobody's business, and look completely bleurgh at the mo. I'm blaming the drug cocktail that I'm still on from the treatment, as the blueberry sized little person in me can't be to blame just yet! I think I have to take the plunge and get measured for some maternity bras...way earlier than I was expecting to, but the boys are just massive, and every bra I have is starting to feel like torture towards the end of the day.....any recommendations for where to go - all the ones I've seen remind me of my gran's washing line!

Hope everyone is doing well, pleased to report my nausea has eased off the last few days, still getting odd waves of it, especially is forgot to eat for few hrs but feeling more human! Pleased as off away for weekend tonight and was dreaded feeling terrible and having to try and make excuses as we aren't telling friends we are staying with.

Will check in on Monday and hope to see some lovely scan piccies xx

 

[Ljd401]

Pleased to hear it is easing off. Hope you have a lovely weekend with friends. Will upload pics tomorrow. Just hope everything is ok with little bubba X

Hey ladies the dating scan was amazing he/she gave us a little wave and everything! And we saw them stretching and like they were arching their back! I didnt think you could see so much at 11 weeks! Date still same at 1st March and we're just relieved and beside ourselves with joy. Have spent the last 24 hours telling family and friends and receiving well wishes......I was a bit reluctant to at 11 weeks but sonographer said there is a little healthy baby there with a strong heartbeat and all looks well sooo......we will see him/her in 9 more weeks again!

Having trouble uploading pic but super tired to persevere so ill try again sometime lol.xx

Aww that is lovely, so glad all is well and you got to see baby clearly. So exciting! I've got mine a week on Tuesday, can't wait 😊

 

[Haylian]

Hey how is everyone?
My energy levels have taken a nose dive and nausea stepped up another level. Had a quivering bottom lip and watery mouth a few times yesterday but thankfully no sick.
Anyone else finding they really fancy something to eat 1 Day but then the day after feeling like it's the worst thing in the world you could put in your mouth? Haha changing day by day at the minute. All I wanted was a roast dinner last week but I honestly can't think of anything worse right now .

Aw, that's amazing! My scan is booked for a week on Monday, it's taken ages to come through but good timing as I'm away for the week before! Bit concerned by having to drink a pint of water an hour before - not sure I'll be able to manage them poking around my bladder after that!

 

[lozza]

I feel so stupid!

I went on the waltzers today with my lo. After googling I am now panicking about the baby!

I felt unwell, more woozy than anything else. I was sick about 30mins later.

I'm sure everything is fine but I can't help worry!

Why do we do these things to ourselves!

Moose how did your doctors appointment go?? I had the same dilemma about telling people have only told close friends that I trust and would tell if I were to miscarry and my mum, not my dad as know he wouldn't keep it quiet!

I've. Eben struggling with nadeau and exhausting, when I force myself to go for walk at lunch feel a lot more energised - even though I never want to go at the time. If you got a dog I'm guessing you have exercise by taking it for walks. Also forcing myself to eat throughout the day really helps. Xx
