Early poas-er seeks other December 2012 due dates

[StrawberrytallCAKE]

I've just had the official confirmation from my digital clearblue test after many a faint line. I have calculated my due date as 5th December and conception started with a curry, how much information am I supposed to share? Boobs aren't sore yet, just a bit bigger. Have had a horrific cold/flu/sore throat for a week and I am very very irrational.

Anyone else out there?

I'm cold, I remember being like this with DS - cuddling the radiator with s blanket wrapped around me while DH is sweating in a t-shirt! [bugrin]

Hi everyone, may I join you? I just got my BFP this morning, with a Clear Blue Digital test. I am in shock, though ecstatic. We have been trying for almost a year, and I'm 36, so this feels like a wonderful turn of events. I think the EDD is December 17th.

I don't have any symptoms, except sore armpits. Weird, I know. Anyone else symptomless? I'm already worried it's not really happening, or that something will go wrong!

Cannot believe the golly egg! Especially with fair trade chocolate issues, its almost as if its from brass eye!

Hello and Congratulations roseandroli, my main symptom so far has been aching breasts but it started in my armpits too. I'm not quite sure if I feel sick or not, but my barometer is an ongoing inability to face 70% Choc, which I usually have to have a little bit of every day (and am missing!) Apparently some people have no symptoms, a colleague was like this so got to 8 weeks before she knew!

Ps I also go through phases of extreme worry, esp about my thyroid and working with challenging sen kids. I ve begun to try to have the attitude 'no news is good news' and 'what will be will be' but I'm not always v successful. - my mum said "welcome to 30 years of anxiety...." :o

Hi roseandroli I also have no real symptoms, apart from some mildly sore breasts. I'm trying to relax about it all, but like you it took me an age to get my BFP and now I have it feels too good to be true. I spent so many months telling myself not to get my hopes up that I'm still too scared to. It'll pass though, I'm sure. Symptoms usually start about 6-8 weeks from what I've read, so it's still too early for us to have them really.

YES to the being cold! I am freezing all the time! Clarella, I also have an underactive thyroid and just upped my dosage of levothyroxine on Thurs night after reading the thyroid thread in the 'pregnancy' section. I had my blood tested last week but decided I couldn't wait to get the results this week.

I feel sooo much more tired in this pregnancy compared to my first!

Clarella I didn't realise with DD that I was pregnant until 8 weeks either! I did have extremely sore boobs but was bleeding constantly and had been told I couldn't conceive naturally so it disn't occur to me to do a test.

Last time my boobs hurt from about 3-4 weeks pg, by the time I tested they were so painful I couldn't lie on my front, I couldn't touch them, had to take my bra off as soon as I got home from work... It was horrible! But I've not had sore boobs at all this time, well not yet anyway. A bit of nausea now but not much really.

Well done cakelover, I dithered as 3 docs said diff things (one didnt know, one would have done bloods, one said to put up on confirmation) and messed up my first urine test (doh!) - they legally needed confirmation to prescribe more. I'm up 25 mcg (no blood test as had wk before conception and good tsh) which seems to be the norm initially depending on tsh and weight etc.. My local thyroid association has a seminar on it in July with a consultant, will be reporting back! Do you ask to get a print out of the test? I've just started doing that and it helps. A really lovely mumsnetter set my mind at ease about it all when I emailed her :)

Blooming raining again, and chilly chilly chilly!

Boobage bondage - resisting bra buying just yet, old unwired sports bra doing the job so far!

Boobs are big (bra makes me look like I have four breasts), nausea and feeling like someone drugged me both kicked in today and I could start an argument in an empty house..... expecting DC3 on 3rd December. Congratulations everyone.!

Clarella are you hyperthyroid or hypo? I have hyperthyroidism and am newly pg. A friend of mine is also hyperthyroid and had a successful pregnancy. I think as long as your TSH levels are closely monitored it won't cause a problem. Just make sure your thyroid consultant knows, and have regular blood tests.

Thanks, everyone! Stacks and Clarella, you have put my mind at ease, though I think your mum is right Clarella, this is only the beginning of worrying. I keep looking at the test in utter disbelief.

Congratulations to everyone and thank you for starting this thread! I am so relieved to have a place to share...

evening everyone hope you all have had a lovely easter weekend...been eating so much choc i actually feel sick at the thought of the stuff now. Been feeling quite nauseous recently but nothing major right now the smell of DD's super noodles is making me ill :( boobs (esp nipples) are killing me and the underwire def isnt helping think ill need to move onto a sports bra.

I also had thyroid problems, a cyst grew on my thyroid and took up the whole left side of the gland so i had a sub total thyroidectomy in Nov 2010. I am not on thyroxine or other meds but just wondering if my thyroid levels will be monitored...will ask midwife next week when i see her

Roseandroli, I Can't help think that some of the mood swings are due to trying to make sense of it all, enjoy the happy bits too :).

Hope you are well clucky? I'm hypo - its tougher to control hyper so you wouldn't really see a consultant (until pregnancy). I don't want to go soapboxy here but some hypo pregnant ladies can fall through a gap in the system of care - my own experience so far shows varied knowledge by gps and midwives (which was stressy!) There was a small study done which can be read here - but if levels are well controlled its ok.

Is now a good time to watch my first ever episode of one born every minute?!
Very funny, DH started watching too till the ads and realised all the ads were baby linked, I think the estrogen overload is getting to him, he may need to watch some police crap as an antidote!

I honestly don't know lauraloo, maybe see the doc too and ask for a blood test? Xx

Hi.
I got a very faint bfp yesterday on an Internet cheapy. Retested today with another Internet cheapy and a first response. IC test is darker and a got a faint line on the first response!
My cycles have been irregular since coming off the pill last July, ranging from 24-29 days.

Due date is in the region of 16th Dec.

Congratulations fellow due in dec mumsnetters :)

Dear Clarella, thank you for posting the information about hypo, I also have low thyroid levels, so will definitely flag that up with my midwife.

We are moving from one end of London to another (NW6 to E8) so I'm wondering whether to go to my GP here or just wait till we've registered with the new practice in Hackney. Those of you who already have children, how many weeks into pregnancy did you get your first appointment?

I'm totally addicted to One Born Every Minute. I used to watch it when my husband wasn't around because I didn't want him to think I was a baby-crazed insane desperate to get pregnant person (which I totally was). But now that I'm actually pregnant, I think I can come out of the closet, as it were...

I'm choosing hospitals based on OBEM - they filmed at one of my options. I am NOT going anywhere there might be a camera!! (plus the other one has better parking, is closer to home and dp's work, and has decent parking)

Lol purple not the best position for a 5 mins of fame!

I know! I'm not fond of cameras at the best of times. Mid Labour is definitely not the best of times. Shame really because I was born there

Roseandroli- I saw the doctor straight away, so at 4 weeks, then a very short midwife appointment at 8 weeks.

The booking in appointment takes ages, because of all the paperwork that gets filled in, so the midwife who covers my area likes to do it as a home visit seperate from her normal clinic. So my 8 week appointment just got me in the system, took some blood and she put me in the system for the 12 week scan.

I'm sure you can opt out of cameras if you wanted to give birth there.

Anyone else planned where they'd like to give birth yet? I'm hoping for a home birth this time. Did 95% of it at home last time but had to go to hospital as ly contractions slowed down and they wanted to give me a drip. I gave birth before they gave me the drip though ;)

Id also consider MW led unit but theres none near us :(

I have to choose because I live pretty much on the border between two counties. MW unit feeds to the one I'd prefer not to go to, but I don't see the point of taking up a hospital bed unnecessarily iyswim. Hopefully my mw letter will show up this week and I can narrow down my Google search terms to something a bit less daunting...

itsmy having an early scan cos I had bleeding and cramping on and got scared. First scan showed a wee sac, so this scan is to see if it has got bigger. Fingers crossed.
Nice to hear that I am not the only one with a dc that doesn't sleep. Going ru a really rough patch with the next lot of teeth.
