How are my March mommies doing?

I hope everyone is doing well as we start entering the 2nd tri!

I have my first perinatologist appointment on Monday-doing the NT scan-cannot wait to see how much Bean has grown!

I am feeling better-the nausea pretty much went away. The heartburn is come and go. I am getting a little bit of a belly and I can't wait until I look preggo, not pudgy! I had to get some maternity clothes to hide my boobs. DH is not pleased.

How about everyone else! Check in!

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

I'm doing well!! M/S is almost gone, but I still have my moments of disgusting nausea. But overall, I feel a lot better.

I'm bloated, fat and not fitting into anything anymore so I had to buy maternity clothes as well. I look silly b/c the top part of my stomach sticks out a lot further than the bottom, causing my shirts to stick out. Which then makes me look 6 months pregnant lol

I have my NT scan on monday as well. I can't wait to see my beanie look like a person!! It's goign to be so exciting. But of course since I already have a m/c under my belt i'm VERY cautious!

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Hey! I too cannot wait to start showing, i think i am alil now but its probably alot of bloating also. I am praying my M/S goes away in a few weeks but meanwhile Zofran is my savior. I cant wait to start enjoying this pregnancy and for someone to stop me and ask if i'm pregnant lol. Until someone ask me i feel like its not as real? lol i'm weird...

Hi there March Mommies! Hope everyone is feeling awesome! If not, .

Well, I had my first OB visit on Friday! We saw our little blob and doc said everything looks great so far! He saw the heartbeat too!

My next appt is Sept. 14th! Just hoping everything progresses and looks great again!

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

lol I just bumped the march mommies thread before I saw this...nausea is finally going away for the most part, still sleepy but haven't been napping as much. My biggest issue now is that I'm at the in-between stage of chubbiness before I pop. My pants are all too tight and I am living sweats til I have to go back to work in September. Anyone else feeling chubby??

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

I'm feeling ok....very very tired and still having m/s. I've tried everything to help, but nothing is making me feel any better except plain old Coke, but I'm trying not to drink more than one a day. I still have that awful pasty taste in my mouth.

I have my NT scan on Monday also and I can't wait to see the baby again.

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Wow so many of us are going for our NT scan on monday!

Good luck

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Hey everyone! My NT sono is tomorrow! (I will be 12 weeks exactly- EDD 3/3) and I am pretty nervous about it although I've never had a m/c or anything before... I am excited at the POSSIBILITY of finding out the sex but it seems like some techs and drs wont even attempt to tell you while others are happy to try- so we'll see what happens. The sono is at north shore manhasset, so it won't be with my regular ob either...

My m/s is still in effect but not as bad. The acid is worse now than nausea and I am afraid that is here to stay...

I still haven't been able to enjoy food... oh well.

I ALSO have a disgusting taste in my mouth all the time!!! It is sooooo bad at night when I am in bed I whine about it to DH and he's like ummm eat a mint?? lol he doesn't ever know what to do for his ailing complaining wife

Anyway, I will bump the thread and let everyone know what happened at my NT.

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

I'm going to be a March mommy but I'm a little behind you ladies. I just had my 1st u/s yesterday. I saw my little cashew and all went well. My next appointment isn't until Sept 11th and I get to see how much my cashew has grown

I've had m/s but it seems to be getting better. Nauseous all the time but not vomitting anymore. I feel like I'm 4+ months pregnant and I think I look that way too. Nothing fits me so I too am in maternity clothes. I still had 10lbs to lose from my previous pregnancy (8mnths ago) so I think that might have something to do with feeling SO chubby and pregnant.

Best of luck to everyone and their appointment Monday.

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Hi ladies!
Hope you are all feeling well!
I didn't have morning sickness, but just a constant queasy feeling which still isn't gone yet. The idea of certain foods still makes me wanna hurl!
I've had awful headaches for the last week or so. They just won't go away. Tylenol hasn't helped either. If I don't get a nap in during the day, while DS is napping, I am miserable! Did anyone take anything else besides tylenol for headaches?
My ultrascreen isn't until Sept 3 which will be at 13 weeks. I'm annoyed because the sonographer is on vacation the week before when DH would be off! But I'll have to wait! Maybe since it's a little later we'll be able to find out the sex!

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Hi Mommies!!

I had my NT yesterday - it was INCREDIBLE!! My little peanut is really starting to look like a baby It was moving around, waving and kicking. We got some great pics - even got to see a hand with all 5 fingers The technician said my sono looked great, but the earliest i will get the blood work back is Friday

I am very grateful that I have had a very easy first trimester. Although I have less of an appetite (and the sight of chicken disgusts me ) I never got sick. I believe that I am a little rounder than normal, but I am underweight to begin with and was still able to rock a bikini on Fire Island this past weekend. DH is loving the new boobs I was extremely fatigued, but I am starting to get some energy back.

Best wishes for a healthy second tri

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Hello everyone!

I had my NT on Monday! Baby grew alot! And he/she was jumping all over the place!

I definitely have a belly already. There are pics in my album.

I've been feeling so much better! If I get TOO hungry I will get nauseas, but for the most part - thats gone! The aversions are slowly going away too!

My boobs are becoming massive. I need to get new bras.

And I guess thats it! Hope everyone else is doing well!

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

What does NT stand for again, because I think its what I had one last week?

The sonogram was a blast the baby was moving around so much I couldn't believe it. It was hysterical it looked like it was trying to get loose and escape the whole time.

My doctor, though, annoyed the crap out of me. So I asked around new doctor I found and was supposed to meet with today. Office then calls me to tell me they wont take my insurance. And what did I do, I cried! Emotions are through the roof!

One day I feel MS has passed, next morning I start gagging at the smell of my toothpaste.

painful boobs are now itchy boobs

and I have really weird shooting pains that fade quickly in my legs and arms

cramps when I do anything physical

and I'm so cranky, miserable, excited happy, I can't stand it anymore, when exactly am I supposed to start enjoying pregnancy again?

Thanks for asking though

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

Hi all, I am an end of March mommy so I am only 9 weeks now. I can't wait for my next appointment (first week of Sept). I'm not sure about my next sonogram b/c they do things quite strange down here in Northern VA. I am finally feeling better but still gagging at random times. I feel huge as well an none of my pants that require buttoning will close. I am dreading going back to work b/c nothing fits yet and I don't want to wear maternity things b/c I swear people will notice. I am trying to wait until my 12th week to tell school but have to go in a lot the next few days to get set up. I just can't wait till the secret is out and this inbetween stage ends.

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

I just had a sono tonight and all looks we except the baby is measuring an entire week ahead so based on LMP i am 10wk4days and based on today's sono I am 11wk4days so I am going for my NT next Wednesday and we will get more accurate dating. I still have nausea and throw up a few times a week but it is much better than it was a few weeks ago. I can't wait for the first trimester to be over! I am glad everyone is doing well!!!!!!!

Re: How are my March mommies doing?

i am doing well!! i have most of my appetite back - still can't eat any kind of pork or red meat but that's okay for now!

i am 11 weeks 3 days today and i have my first appointment with my midwife on the 26th (switching practices) and my ultrascreen is scheduled for the 27th.

i have a small belly but a lot of bloat that i am hoping goes away soon. i am in all maternity pants just because i already had them and didn't have to buy anything new, and they are the most comfortable for me. still in non-maternity tops.

my patience is starting to wear thin in certain situations but other than that i feel great!
