Hi all!
I'm Mrs_Mouse 
I'm due March 3rd. This is the first for DH and I, although I have a stepson. I got my BFP just a few days ago and I go see the doctor for my first prenatal next week! So far so good, I'm tired, hungry, sore boobs, a bit of cramping every now and then, but otherwise, really happy and amazed that there's a little person growing inside of me! LOL!
Any other March Mommas out there?!

My due date is Feb 27 (by my calculations, haven't been to the doctor yet), but I wanted to say congrats so exciting!

Congratulations Mrs_Mouse!
March 2013 momma here! We've already had our first prenatal visit, since this is our 4th pregnancy this year. I have 2 MTHFR mutations, so we are very prone to miscarriages. We lost the last one at 10 weeks, so we are very apprehensive. I'm not horribly tired, except when I get home from work in the evenings. I'm nauseated all day long and my boobs are sore. I'm hungrier than usual, but not terribly so. Just crossing our fingers that this one will stick!

Hello! I'm also in the March group. According to the internet, our expected due date is March 4th. I'm calling today to make an appointment with my doctor, but not expecting to go in for a few more weeks.
This is our first pregnancy and we had been trying for six months, so we're really excited and hope it sticks!
@mrs_mouse: Congrats and welcome to the Hive!
@brownsquirrel: Congrats and welcome! I hope this is your sticky baby! How did you first appointment go?

@mrsjyw: haha, thank you!!!! I had only really announced it on the June POAS thread, so that's probably why.

@Adira: Thanks! Congrats to you too!! Woohoo!
I just realized that Mrs_Mouse is a WB blogger (I am not her), so I don't want to cause confusion and I've asked Mr Bee to change me to Mrs Mousie instead Sorry all!
My first prenatal appointment is later this week. Yesterday I was feeling pretty good, today, not so much. I think I didn't eat close enough to bed time. I woke up at 3 not feeling great, and didn't get the best sleep after that. Ugh.

@mrs_mouse: I'm jealous your first prenatal appointment is so soon! Mine isn't until July 24th!!! Such a long wait!
cherry / 141 posts
@Adira: That sucks! That really is a long wait! I already have a list of questions for my doctor, the longer I wait the more I'll likely come up with! I'm happy to get the ball rolling!!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@mrs_mouse: How far along will you be at your first appointment? I'll be 8 weeks at mine.
cherry / 141 posts
About 5 weeks. I'm in Canada though, so I can make an appointment with my doctor at any time without worrying about my healthcare package, etc. I know it's a lot more complicated in the States!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@mrs_mouse: Wow, so jealous! I don't really know how it works here. I called up my doctor yesterday and they just normally schedule the first appointment around 7-8 weeks. I don't know if it has to do with insurance or what. It's just going to be a long wait! But I'm excited for you! You'll have to let us know what happens at your first appointment.

@Adira: From all the reading I've been doing, it does seem like I'm going early, but when I called the doctor's office they didn't seem to have any problems with me coming in this early, so I figured why not?! LOL! I will definitely let you all know how the first appointment goes. My biggest question is when my first ultrasound is. We're waiting to tell our families until after we get our first sonogram pic

So the first appointment didn't go so well. Apparently the urine test I did last week with a different doctor came out negative (what?!) and my doctor pretty much shut down the appointment until I get an official bloodtest done. I'm a mess of emotions right now. I'm 99% sure that the urine test I did was super diluted (it was pretty much clear), and it was mid afternoon. I came home and did another test at home and it came out positive, but I'm still shaken up by the whole thing. Not the experience I had been expecting and hoping for.

@Mrs. Mousie: That sounds like a scary experience...when will they let you know what's happening? I hope a March baby is on the way, please keep us posted! Wishing you good thoughts and praying for you!
I'm officially in the March club; have been unsure how far along I was since POAS. Had my first appointment today and they think I am 5 weeks, 5 days. They scheduled the appointment based on my LMP (May 6), and I knew I wasn't very far along due to long cycles but hey, we saw our little circle baby! I go back in 2 weeks for a better estimate on due date and another sonogram.

@tororojo: I'm going to go for my blood test Monday. I just wanted to lay low today. I am most definitely 100% pregnant and I keep telling myself that. I have 4 positive pregnancy tests, every symptom in the book, no period, no spotting or anything to indicate things might go off the rails. I honestly just think it was a super diluted test and my doctor completely lacking bedside manner. I'm going to go on Monday for the blood test and they'll have the results within 48 hours. I appreciate the happy thoughts and prayers! It's obviously been on my mind a lot.
Congrats to you on joining the March club!! Sounds like we might be due date twins!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Mrs. Mousie: Wow! What a terrible experience! I'm so sorry you had to go through that! It definitey sounds like you probably just had diluted urine when you took the test. When I called my doctor, she told us the home pregnancy tests were the same they use, so if that said I was pregnant, then I was. Since you've seen a bunch of positives as well, you are pregnant! You just had bad luck at the doctor's appointment! Hopefully the blood test today goes smoothly and you get the results you're looking for! Please keep us posted!
@tororojo: Congratulations on your BFP!! Welcome to the March club!!! I'm excited to hear what your estimated due date is, so you'll have to let us know after your appointment in a couple weeks!
cherry / 141 posts
@Adira: Thanks sweetie! I'll call tomorrow for my test results and book another appointment to ask the questions I didn't get to ask. I'm not waiting until my 10 week appointment darn it!!! LOL! Definitely still feeling pregnant (and exhausted!) today!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Mrs. Mousie: Yeah, I'm sure you're fine, but you'll definitely feel better once you get the results of your blood test! Have you had any more symptoms yet? I'm just starting to feel nauseous today and I'm NOT a fan!
cherry / 141 posts
@Adira: I think I've had every symptom in the book. Nauseous for sure, exhausted, sore boobs (although that hasn't been as bad recently), crazy vivid dreams, baby brain, cravings, mood swings... Poor DH 
I've figured out the best ways to curb my nausea though, so for the most part, it's just the tiredness that's been weighing on me most. Oh and I'm hot. SO HOT!!! This summer is killing me when I already feel 9 degrees warmer than usual!!! I'm one of those people who is always cold, so this is is so weird for me!

I just saw this thread so I am jumping in too! I got my BFP on Sunday. Online is showing March 17th. I go to the doctor next Thursday. Think they just do a test and lots of paperwork. I can't wait till I have an ultrasound, then I will feel so much better. It still doesn't feel real.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Arden: @Smurfette: Yay!!! Congratulations girls!!! I'm so excited to have some of my TTC buddies join me here!
@Smurfette: Oh wow, you're going in early! Jealous! My first appointment isn't until 8 weeks!!! And then the ultrasound isn't until 9 weeks!
@Arden: Have you called your doctor yet to set up appointments?
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@Adira: I will be almost 6 weeks, so I guess it is a little early. Then I have to wait till 8 or 9 weeks before I go back and have an ultrasound. I am glad that I get to go early, maybe it will make it more real for me. Although I did take another test this morning (I had them so why not) and line is a lot darker then the one from Sunday.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Smurfette: That's so exciting that you can go in early! This early it really doesn't feel that real! I'm JUST starting to have morning sickness, so that's making it feel more real, but I still don't REALLY feel pregnant. I don't think I'll really believe it until I hear the heartbeat!
That's funny you took another test! Just don't take one when you're too far along - I heard you can get really messed up results from that.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@Adira: Well I only have one more, so I will probably take it this weekend. Mostly cause I just want to see how dark the line can get. I am such a dork! I hope your sickness doesn't get really bad!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Smurfette: How close to the control line did you last test get? And thanks! It was pretty bad yesterday (driving seemed to make it worse), but today it doesn't seem bad at all, so keeping my fingers crossed!
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@Adira: The one on Sunday wasn't faint but not super dark. So then I took a digital. This morning the line was about as dark as the control line. Weird that driving mad it worse. My good friend almost threw up every time she brushed her teeth. Yuck!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Smurfette: Oh nice! The one test I took was dark, but not as dark as the control line. You'll have to let me know how dark your last one turns out!
Yeah, I didn't expect driving to be a factor, but my dad has always had problems with motion sickness, so maybe I'm inheriting some of that while pregnant? I could definitely see how brushing teeth could cause problems though! Sometimes that grosses me out when I'm feeling fine!

@Smurfette: @Adira: just wanted to pop in and say another big CONGRATS to you ladies!! My due date is Feb 27 which could change with my ultrasound in a couple weeks, so I might be a March mommy anyway!
Also, you're right, definitely don't test after a certain point. Last week, at 6 1/2 weeks I had one wondfo left and the line was way lighter than it was at like 14/15 dpo. Of course, I panicked and did some online research. The tests can't handle the high hcg levels. So keep your sanity and don't test anymore!!! I learned my lesson haha
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@lilteacherbee: Thanks for the warning too. I had no idea you couldn't keep taking them. I do need to retake my digital. I need a picture for my journal and the one I took already went blank after 24 hours.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@lilteacherbee: Thank you!!! I think even if your due date doesn't change, I bet you end up being a March Mommy anyway!

@Adira: I'm going to call a midwife today, to get a consult and tour of the birth center.
