Anyone TTC after Christmas? :)

@NextAdventure OMG Iv got you! I am SO scared that I will end up having a C-section and I'm not even pregnant yet 😂 it's just my biggest fear in the world I don't know why, they would probably have to put me to sleep because I'd have a panics attack which then makes me even more scared HA! Probably because Iv never even broke a finger so massive surgery like that really frightens me!, I'm scared about a lot of things now but also very excited...

Hello! We will also be TTC for our 1st come the New Year. All rather terrifying but also exciting. I’m hoping the Mumsnet club will be a source of comfort for all that is to come... I tend to overthink unnecessarily and am already feeling sick about the actual birth! Not even pregnant yet

Think we have decided to try Jan/feb skip
March early April as don't want a December baby, there's 7 bday for us dec-early jan already 🤭

Oh bless. They are still so little when they start!

@Hunkyd0ry my sister has a August baby and a September baby, the August baby was always shattered after school and went to sleep before she had her dinner 😂

Glad it's not just me that is hoping for September onwards!
I explained it to my friend (who has children may age) and she said it wouldn't have even crossed her mind. I just think it will be easier for a child to start school at nearly 5 than just 4.

@Blondie87 that's very true ! Anyone else getting excited now it's December ?? Im so excited but scared to!

@HJWT Ah ok so Xmas day hopefully would be ok to start trying. Tbh my cycle is all over the place since stopping the pill so who knows when I'll next ovulate! I'll try hold out until Xmas time then perhaps to start trying properly!

Saves a year of childcare costs though 😂

@boodles101 I think the only reason an August baby bothers me is because my heart would break if I had to send them to school straight after there 4th birthday 😂 I'm so sad x

Can I join? I came off the pill 2 weeks ago and waiting for period to return then will be ttc #2. DS will be 2 in Jan. Fell pregnant on the 2nd cycle with him so hopefully its that quick this time too.
Ive done some opks and looks like im close to getting a positive - its taking everything within me to stop me from jumping on DH! We want to avoid an august baby.

@Pastaallday with our first we conceived New Year's Eve and she was due 16th September born 6th x

@Blondie87 we also would like a September onwards baby for same reasons! When are you actively TTC? This would be my first and I'm holding out till May be Xmas day to hope that would be late enough! Although I know it probably won't happen anytime soon anyway!

Yep @HJWT I’ll need to cut out sugar and refined carbs to help with the PCOS!
I’m a teacher too so desperate for a Oct baby if possible but to be fair I’ll take a healthy baby any month 😁

@Blondie87 I can't wait to indulge this Christmas!! Another reason we have waited is because I will more than likely have gestational diabetes and as soon as I see that second line I will be eating like a rabbit 😂 lots of veg low sugar low carb! Hooray, so Christmas will be very foody for me this year !!

Ahahaha #HJWT boggles their minds doesn't it! Well we have some time still so I can hopefully get it into his brain we have quite a journey ahead of us

@CaramelCluster I had to explain to my DH that you basically get one day every month to get pregnant ! Not the whole bloody month 😂

Well that's weird, all emojis are coming up as wine glasses, must be my phone!

Yay a group that's TTC in the new year! Would it be possible for me to join too? We shall be trying for DC#1 and I am currently 31.
The past year my partner has been talking about children a lot and I haven't been ready to...career reasons. Now it's flipmode and I'm talking about having children and he's not!

We've had a lot of discussions since then and decided in the new year, so can enjoy work parties and Christmas with plenty of wine. Does anyone else's partner think it'll just 'happen'? Trying to drill into him that it could take us a long time but he's all in fairyland saying what months he prefers the child to be born in!

Hi ladies!
Can I join? Thinking of ttc #3 in January! Still a little on the fence about whether it’s the right thing but I think we’re just going to go for it! Definitely don’t want to miss out on all the yummy Christmas indulgence as I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding most Christmases for the past 4 years! I’ve got PCOS so it’s taken between a year and a month to conceive so we shall see! FX for everyone!

Hi. Thinking of starting ttc #2, our dd is now 19 months. Exciting!

@Navy123 Keep is all updated! 😌

Yeah we did too...and third, fifth, and finally seventh was the one that stuck!! Forgot about the conceive plus though so thanks, need to order some!

@Navy123 we conceived first cycle, we took vitamins used conceive plus and I tracked with an app! We wasn't even living together at the time as I worked to far away so got very lucky only seeing each other a few days a week and my DH was told previously his swimmers were none responsive, I think mine would of been though the stress he was under with his ex 🤪

I just can't wait now! Keep seeing prams and all the baby stuff on sale for Black Friday ! But I'm not aloud to buy anything but clothes this time till I'm 30 weeks, that's the only rule haha!!

Hello,
I've been waiting too. I feel like I've been counting down for ages.
I have a nearly 2 year old.
We conceived our daughter quite easily and I feel nervous about trying again as I have plans for a September/ October baby.
Lovely to meet you all!
