December 2014, anyone else yet?

[ImBrian]

So I got a stupidly early faint positive today at 9dpo when I should definitely know better after a chemical last month. According to the Calendar I'm due December 1st so I've decided to be massively optimistic and start this thread. Is there anybody put there?

Imbrian- i hope so! Im hoping for early in December rather than late, would like a bub before Christmas rather than going into labour on Christmas day or going over and being taken in on Christmas day. They wouldn't do that surely?!

ffallada lol, topple over. My boobs have been sore since 6dpo, it was my first sign. the soreness slightly dipped at start of last week, but returned after a day or two. Its a soreness rather than my normal af boob pain. Usually I would have really full heavy sore boobs, they are not particularly full or heavy but the soreness is there. I feel it more first thing in the morning. I was getting measured last week for a dress and was measured at 36 1/2 inches around my bust. Im usually 36 so maybe i am marginally bigger.

Other symptoms have been the small pains in my abdomen, particularly in the evening. Also have been more hungry and my stomach lets me know all about it. It's like a guilt noise for not feeding the fetus! Had the beginnings of a migrane on Friday night partially caused by my not feeding myself on Friday when I was hungry. I managed to stave it off though. I suffer from occasional migranes around my period if I don't keep my food and water intake up. I sort of forgot about them and was then chastising myself on Friday night for letting it happen. I've only recently linked periods to migranes -doh!

Also had a little repeating of food, not that much but enough to let me know to steer away from a few things. Im a big sleeper generally but i am feeling more tired but Im also awake first thing in the morning which I think is just anxiety.

Secretly I would love a bit of nausea/throwing up. I feel then i'd be more confident. And I thought ttc was nuts, it gets no more sensible this side

Yeah my strip tests are lovely and strong so im sure things are ok

Wow, this thread is getting busy. Congrats to everyone joining this weekend. Hope you all have happy, healthy pregnancies.

martie very relieved to read your comment about your boobs being less sore for a few days. That's happened to me over the past 36 hours or so and I am totally freaking out that it's a bad sign things have stopped. In fact I don't feel at all pregnant today and my manic googling really doesn't help. Fingers crossed I wake up in agony again tomorrow! Would also love a bit of MS for reassurance.

Fallen asleep twice today :( I feel drained!

Welcome to all the new people!

I'm convinced I'm going to have a girl, this pregnancy feels different to DS. All day morning sickness kicked in on Friday and hasn't left since...I haven't actually been sick, but nausea is coming and going.

I just want plain food at the moment and nothing fatty or flavourful. Fruit is good though! Also want marmite and watercress and cabbage...obviously missing some vitamins!

Roll on 12 weeks and hopefully we will all stop feeling sick!

Hey everyone!
Had such a good time seeing Elbow last night. Sang our hearts out and boogied! It's great to have time just as a couple. Was so good getting back to my little scamp today

Been getting waves of nausea, wind and bit tired on and off. My symptoms are def stronger with this pregnancy than with dd. With her I just had exhaustion.

As long as I don't jump up for a wee tonight I'm going to do my second digi tomorrow morning. I really hope it shows 3+ weeks.

Erm, top button of my trousers is permanently undone now. Yikes!

6 weeks today

Chip, I felt so strongly that ds2 was a girl as I craved sweet stuff and it was so different to ds1 I bet DH £10. Lucky git.
I'd rather have another boy but he would want a girl.

something, I know it's different but with my mcs I never had strips progess much at all, so super strong lines is a great sign.

Geek, fingers crossed for sickness for you Step away from Dr.Google if you can.

I'm 37 and this is my first , plus I know nothing about pregnancy etc. I just never thought it would ever happen. Anyway, can I ask why some of you are doing tests more than once? I have a spare test but thought one digital yes was pretty much a given.
After posting this morning, I fell down the stairs. I'm ok and hoping all will be ok. I did cry and panic but speaking to NHS direct helped.
Please be careful everyone. I feel very silly.
Good night.

Haha! I will avoid placing any bets then Boba!

Before I was pregnant I wanted another boy, but now I'm pregnant I really don't mind if it's a boy or girl. We only have two bedrooms so I think there will be less pressure to move house if we have another boy, but hey ho life goes on!

I have 4 dds so I know people will suggest I was trying for a ds. I don't particularly care though a girl would prob be easier. I wouldn't know what to do with a boy!

Shanels, hope you're ok after your fall.

I test more than once to look for progression/darker lines, as it's a (slightly inaccurate) way to check progression. This is my 7th pregnancy, hopefully 3rd baby so getting past a faint line or a 1-2wk on a digital test should mean a successful pregnancy for me.

Hi vicky, I'm a teacher, I too am going to have to broach the subject carefully! I'm going to see how long I can breath in before they cotton on!

I've just got a bfp over the weekend - Hurrah! This puts my due date at 13-15th December :-)

Husband was over the moon and wanted to strut around claiming his fertility... weirdo! It's been tricky to not tell the mother's as we both spent Saturday with our respective parent after getting the bfp first thing.

First pregnancy (I'm 24) so really not sure what to expect, but certainly got morning sickness already. I can't drive for long before getting travel sick either this week, so I've whacked on my travel bands to see if that helps around the house. Lots of gurgly stomach going on, and non stop nausea. Just walked into bathroom and can't cope with the smell of all my new LUSH stuff, so relegated it all to the study.

Calling the doctors this morning to make appointment, but also got chest infection so could be a double appointment. At what point did you have your first/confirmation appointment for your pregnancy?

Hoping it sticks!!

Hi sasseh congratulations! Usually the receptionist will just tell you to book an appointment with the midwife when you are about 8 weeks, the doctor doesn't need to confirm the pregnancy as hpt are very accurate :)
My husband also responded to the news with some kid of super sperm comment! Weirdo!

I haven't been to book with gp/midwife yet but possibly will once I've had a private scan in a couple of weeks. They don't do much at this point apart from refer you for your 12 week scan. I'm having a different kind of test done privately so I'm not going to bother with the nuchual. So no rush to see them :)

Just been reading my diary from when I was pregnant with dc 3. I was complaining about my weight at 28 weeks, I'm that bloody weight now!!!!

Hi all, congrats to the new joiners with BFPs!

I've been very, very crampy all weekend. I used another IC on Saturday and the line was very strong so that's a good thing. Going to try not to POAS at all this week

4+4 today so not expecting sickness yet but the cramps are weird - exactl y like AF!

I've barely stopped grinning, I'm so unbelievably happy. I'm still trying not to get too excited but it's difficult. Every time I say something about the pregnancy/baby, I qualify it with "Of course, that's if everything goes ok" which is just daft. I need to think positive, I have no reason not to!

We plan not to tell anyone until 12 weeks. I think we might tell DSIL early because she has been such a huge support to me and I want to tell her face to face (she's away when we're at 12 weeks)

I saw a post on facebook this morning that said "38 weeks til Christmas!" I was thinking "What? No it isn't. It's not less than 38 weeks until I'll be giving birth" Err, yes it is. 35-ish. So how is it that it seems ages until my 12 week scan yet the thought of giving birth in 35 weeks is a bit "OMG, THAT'S SO SOON, I'M NEVER GOING TO BE READY"

Haha thanks Vicky - yes,men are weirddd! I've got an appointment for my chest infection (suffer from a mild form of a lung disease, so need to be seen asap in their eyes) and a midwife appointment booked for 12th May - 5 weeks seems like SUCH a long time. This weekend was honestly the longest weekend of mylife!

Going to try not to POAS for the next few days, as I've used so many cheapies, a first response one and a blue dating one - all in the last 3 days. Oops. All lines came up faint, but that includes ones in the afternoon & evening, with slightly stronger ones in mornings.

Husband said we're not telling anyone till 12th May, so blergh to him. I cheated and already told someone whos been through it all (late mcs, early mcs, and a full term twin pregnancy) and is removed from our circle of friends, as I just neeeeded to tell someone before I exploded!

I just bought to more cheapy tests to reassure myself. Although dizziness still strong and boobs still massive and nausea already beginning (at 5 weeks, doesn't bode well). So far only have nausea in snatches though luckily. Like this morning was in car with husband and we passed a kebab shop and he said (joking cos I HATE kebab meat blurrrghgghhh) 'oh you could have a kebab for dinner'. Had already been nauseous but at that, I very nearly puked in the car. Biggest wave of nausea ever!

Went for a swim this morning and feel fab now but also staarrvvvinnngg!

TWO not to obviously! I can actually spell

Hi Sasseh!!! Congratulations :) I was a bit of a poas monkey at the start too but have calmed down now! Today was my last one because I did a digi and got 3+ on it. I have to believe now (6+1) that it's ok and I have to hope for the best. Wish there was a little camera I could put in myself to check it's going ok I there!

That'd be awesome punkypod! Super excited!! I also have a bet on with myself that my best mate is also pregnant- popping to see her today and see what she says (she would tell me as we've been even closer since she was pregnant previously despite it being tragic circumstances)

Congrats to all the new BFPs! Feel free to add your details to this doc:

Has any of you got views on travelling before 12 weeks? Got a Eurostar trip to Germany for Easter, and one to South of France beginning on May. All by train but not sure I should go.

Mopsy I'm so jealous of your swim.

Covent totally fine to travel. I went by plane to Russia at 6 months. People travel lots later than that too.

That's fine Covent. You can travel. I have2 week holiday booked to Scandinavia in August when I'll be 24 weeks. I'm defo going

Thanks mopsy & punky. As soon as I work out how to do it, I'll change my name to paranoid....
