March due dates
What a lovely month to have a baby!
How are you feeling, seven-monthers? Enjoying your beautiful belly? Any braxton hicks? Aches and pains, or are you carrying on with life as usual? Everything lined up for the birth, maternity leave, found a doula, taken a breastfeeding class, toured the birth center/hospital, happy with the care you're getting so far? Hormones going crazy? Enjoying those secret smiles that other women give you on the street? Stretch marks are hard-earned badges of honor, just remember that. Mary S. |

Definitely starting to get a more uncomfortable bulge, and have noticed more frequent BH in the past week. Everything else seems to be lined up and ready to go...I don't feel 'ready' but then again I'm totally ready to be done with being pregnant, I'm not one of those who relishes in it. We need to get serious about thinking of names, etc, the next month or two will sneak up fast. My 3.5 year old daughter on the other hand thinks this whole thing is going WAY too slow, though I"m sure once #2 is ruining her barbie stuff she'll be wishing she was out of the picture....should be fun to add another to the mix! cara edd march 24, girl |

Enjoying those secret smiles that other women give you on the street? Stretch marks are hard-earned badges of honor, just remember that. Mary S. Up until a few weeks ago, I was absolutely loving just about everything about being pregnant. Now the aches and pains are just starting to set in, and I can see why women get soooo impatient to be done with the pregnancy and just have the baby! I've finally figured out how to get a good night's sleep with 3 regular pillows and a body pillow; this has helped a lot! My main worries right now are that babe is still breech, and that I failed my 1 hr GD test. I know there is still plenty of time to turn, but it sure would be nice to know that everything was set. I'll be taking the 3 hour glucose tolerance test sometime this week...can't wait to have that over with! I absolutely love and trust my doctor, so I am feeling pretty confident about the birth itself. Maternity leave is all set...I'll be off for 4 months, which is 1 month longer than I expected, and I am thrilled about it. I may go back after 3 months, though, if DH can work out taking the fourth month off of work to be the stay-at-home parent. I so want him to have that experience, too! Our doula is all set...but had surgery last month, so I feel a bit out of touch with her. Hopefully we will be meeting soon to write up a birth plan. Childbirth classes start this week, and we are starting to tour daycare centers this week. Unfortunately, most of the really good ones around here have 1 year waiting lists, so we are already too late, but hopefully we will find one that works. We still have to sign up for an infant CPR class at the hospital. We still don't have a name for a boy...so hopefully critter will turn out to be a little girl. I haven't gotten any comments or acknowledgement from strangers that I am pregnant really... Earlier on, I was dreading having strangers try to touch my belly, but that hasn't happened. Most people, I think, don't even notice I'm pregnant (I'm definitely showing, but I'm not terribly huge...plus, my winter jacket pretty much hides my bulge) and the ones that do seem to instantly pretend they didn't see me. This happened a LOT during Christmas shopping in the mall, when I'd stand near a bench, hoping someone would get up to let me sit for a minute! All in all, though, baby's healthy, I feel healthy, and I am really happy. Just can't wait to meet our baby! -Michelle edd 3/14/04 |

Enjoying those secret smiles that other women give you on the street? Stretch marks are hard-earned badges of honor, just remember that. Lily Parker is due March 13 and she's making her upcoming arrival known by kicking and dancing all the time in my tummy. Laszlo was never this active! She literally takes my breath away sometimes with these movements! It's not painful, just way more noticeable than it ever was with her big brother. I think she's trying to dance her way here before her due date! Haven't had any contractions that I can tell, thank goodness...and didn't have any with Laszlo until 2 days before he was born...so if/when I feel them I'll be panic stricken! I've had sciatica pain, and panic attacks...both new to me during pregnancy and NO FUN! No stretch marks yet, but I didn't have any at this point with Laszlo either...waiting for those last couple of months to stripe up my belly. I love the fact that I'm pregnant, especially since it took me SO long and many fertility treatments to get pregnant with my son. Although I don't feel quite as well, I'm still just as excited and cannot wait to see her little face and do the whole newborn thing again. I'm so anxious to nurse another baby, I miss that so much since Laszlo weaned at 13 months (lil booger!) Oh, and did I mention the insomnia??? It's 1:15 AM and I am stuffed with energy. I napped this afternoon for a little while, which is a big mistake since I already can't sleep at night! Any advice? - Jen, momma to 23 month old Laszlo Cooper (Sproutkin's fiance) and to the very active Lily Parker, due March 13 |

- Jen, momma to 23 month old Laszlo Cooper (Sproutkin's fiance) and to the
very active Lily Parker, due March 13 LOL!! Micaela's not going to be happy about sharing! Glad to hear you're doing so well. What a blessing that Lily's conception was easier this time, too! Mary S. mom to the Laszlo-is-handsome Sproutkin, 22 months |

I still feel fantastic! I am enjoying it until it lasts. I haven't felt any
BH but my belly has grown a lot in the past 4 ww. I thought so and the Dr last Friday confirmed it. She said it's going to be a big baby! After all I was 7lb 13oz at birth. The energy has gone down a bit but I just found out I am a bit anemic so the Dr started me on OTC iron supplements. The hardest thing to do is wear socks. I can hardly reach my feet. I am afraid that soon I will have to rely on DH to get dressed! The other major change I noticed is that I need a bib when I eat. I think I have more food on my clothes than in my body! Hope it goes away after birth! Big milestone next week for the first prenatal class. I think it makes it feel much closer. Love -- Nicky EDD March 26, '04. It's a girl! |

I dunno whether I'm a February or a March due date. I've had one estimate of Feb. 28 and one of March 6. I have a feeling she'll be on the later side so I'm going with March for now. Aww, that was me with Sproutkin! I had the "wheel" say February 28th, the ultrasound say February 26th, my OB and midwife both said March 1. She wasn't too overdue at all (I can say that now!), at March 3. You can reply in both groups, if you want. Mary S. mom to the Sproutkin, 22 months |
