December 2015 Babies

[toadierocks]

Just got my BFP :)
Can't find if there's a tread already for this club, if so can someone post me the link Pleaseeeeeeeee. I'm due 6/7th December 2015

I took my trousers back to the shop. it was a sad moment. I felt as though I was saying goodbye to my figure before I've even lost it. I must add that I don't have much of figure to begin with!! Saw some cute small children though. didn't bother with the bra as yet. I'm teacher so probably best going a bit further afield, I always get spotted when I least expect!

So sorry to hear that puzzled.

puzzle sorry to hear that, look after yourself.

pug great news and lovely pic of puglet!

mrs sorry that dh has still not come round, if you have decided you are keeping then that needs to be made clear and hopefully dh and you can work together in overcoming any problems.

I've got my letter for my booking in appt. it's not till the 8th May when I will be 9+6. Not had go appt as you have to self refer here, it seems like a really long time without having seeing any healthcare professionals.

puzzle so sorry to hear the news, big hugs

MrsMc hope you find a way through, what a difficult situation

pug wonderful news

Tammie I got some bras and vest tops from Bravado in my last pregnancy (were good for nursing too), am wearing them already as they are so comfy.

abi hope things don't get worse over the weekend

egg I got nausea really early both this time and last time, 8-10 weeks was probably the worst but it carried on til 14-16 weeks for me. But some people breeze through and don't get anything!

with yup I know, when I rang the midwife I was already 6+3 as Id been on holiday, she said booking usually 8-10 and scan 12-14.

I suppose with most miscarriage happening before week 8 they leave it late as 1.5hour appt is a lot of resources.

Told my bestie at work today, I was so tired I looked awful. She asked if I was ok and I couldn't keep it in! She said she had guessed I was on Monday! knew we had been trying since Xmas but she'd been waiting for me to say!

My booking in date with the midwife is May 18th when I'll be 10 weeks exactly, and then we're going away 23-30th, so I think my scan is going to have to be at the late end of the window too! Seems like such a long time to wait ?? fingers crossed the bean and I get that far.

Hi ladies.

I'm driving myself crazy. My symptoms have really tapered off over the past few days - the nausea is barely there, my boobs aren't as sore, my skin has cleared up and my food cravings/aversions have gone. I know it seems stupid to be upset that I don't feel sick but my fear is that my hormone levels are dropping because the embryo has stopped growing.

I've managed to persuade DH that I should book a private, early scan in a week or so. I haven't had any bleeding apart from that tiny bit of spotting a few days ago but if this is an MMC, I don't think I could stand waiting for the 12 week scan to find out.

I also got my booking appointment through for 18th May, when I'll be 10+5, which seems really late. I can't do that date anyway as we're on holiday 15th - 20th May. I phoned them up to re-arrange and also asked them about whether I need to see a consultant as I have epilepsy and I was told the woman I need to speak to about that doesn't work Fridays and I'll have to ring back on Monday! So that's not helping my stress levels. I'm going to wait until I speak to her on Monday before I book the private scan.

The thing is, I am a worrier. I just am. I'm always worrying about something - sometimes it turns out to be nothing, sometimes it turns out that my worries are justified. Right now I don't know if this is just me being anxious because that's my default setting or if there really is something wrong. I feel so helpless.

Sorry for the depressing post, I just needed to get this all out.

Oh no serenity! Your head must be spinning - it's been a crazy few weeks for you. Booking an early scan sounds like an excellent idea. Can you do it sooner rather than later? Acting on it might calm your anxiety, make you feel like you're taking back some control. Fx it's absolutely nothing and just the roller coaster of the last few weeks triggering your anxiety. Look after yourself and try to take it easy. Do you have any hobbies like knitting, baking or playing an instrument? Might sound odd but I suffer from anxiety and find activities I can lose myself in can give your brain a break for an hour and break the pattern. Many for you.

Puzzle so sorry to hear that. I hope you are being well looked after.

I am so paranoid. My boob isn't as sore this evening and I'm determined there's something wrong. The cramps aren't helping the situation either. I would really love a private scan but they are very expensive.

However a good sign is that I'm getting heartburn. I didn't get it till the 3rd trimester with ds but it was horrific to the point where I was sent to a & e with vomiting blood. It was so horrible! Feeling it already makes me feel better mentally but I'm dreading how ill I will feel in 6 months time!

Hi ladies
Not got time to reply individualy as its late and I'm pooped. I just wanted to wish all the ladies here in turmoil for your individual reasons better times in the days ahead x x x Abi Mrs serenity and anyone else I've missed.

Just poas to make sure its not a dream. Still 2 lines. Just send off the letter requesting a midwife appoint. Its going to be a long few weeks....

Serenity it sounds like you need a big hug and an early scan for sure!
I am also a worrier so am going to get an 8 week scan privately just to ease my nerves a little bit. How many weeks are you?

serenity I totally get your fear - isn't it every pregnant lady's worst nightmare? - but the truth is that symptoms can and do come and go. No two days are the same. The easiest, and often most logical, explanation is that there's 'something wrong' and thinking that is entirely rational. But it doesn't mean it's true.

I had terrible sickness in my last pregnancy, but still felt fine some days and could eat and drink as normal. This time, I got lots of nausea early on and, although it still comes in waves, it's not nearly as bad as last time, or even a few weeks ago. But that's the mystery of pregnancy!

It's definitely best for you and the baby that you're not too stressed, so book yourself a scan now so there's something happening. You can always cancel.

In the meantime, try to relax. Have a long bath, go for a walk somewhere nice, treat yourself to something new. Just try not to think about it

serenity have some

My symptoms have been coming and going as well, but I'm trying to stay as calm and relaxed as I can. I know exactly what you mean, it's so reassuring when you wake up and your boobs hurt! Book that scan if that will help you relax a bit, focus on a hobby or if you are a teacher like me the ridiculous pile of marking and distract yourself.

I really want to learn to knit! again! My nan taught me about 15 years ago So that's what I shall be doing over summer :)

Good morning!
Had anybody else's skin gone haywire recently? I've got spots and dry skin - beautiful! Don't want to use anything too potent as my skin is obviously becoming more sensitive. Any (cheap) suggestions? Cx

I'm with you there chops running out of sticks to pee on. I keep thinking it can't be true as have no real symptoms to speak if apart from how obscenely huge my nipples have become!! this is the first time for me and it's crazy how long you feel like you have to wait for any real reassurance. I don't know what I expected from the trip to the gp but it was a total anticlimax.

thinking of all the ladies going through a difficult time but totally agree that keeping yourself busy is a great plan. for that at least (and only that) I'll be glad to get back to work on Monday.

Just got my booking appointment date through the post today - 5 May, when I'll be 8+4. I also picked up my blood pressure monitor today and as I thought, the readings I've taken so far have been really low, so the high results I got from the GP and nurse a couple of weeks ago must have been due to white coat syndrome!

afternoon ladies. Hope you're all having a good weekend so far.

My boob started hurting again today which has slowed down my panic! And I've hardly had any cramp today. Plus I'm getting heartburn after anything I eat or drink and I am shattered today! it seems such a long time till I see the midwife on the 29th I just hope my symptoms stop coming and going!

Also has anyone heard or had only one sore boob? With ds they were both very sore but this time it's just the left one and it's only tender if I touch it or sometimes I will get pain for a few minutes then it goes. I'm assuming it's nothing to worry about since the other one has never been sore? Both my nipples are sensitive/ tingly and both breasts have definitely gotten fuller!

Hi All ... I went for a private scan today and the sonographer said that she could see the pregnancy sac was in the right place but could tell me nothing else due to me being bloated and full of gas. They also think I might have my dates wrong I am meant to be around 6 +2 days ( I was hoping to see a heartbeat if lucky today) but they think I am around 5. They said the scan was inconclusive. They did tell me I had a cyst on my left ovary though. Not feeling sick at the mo only tired and emotional. Still have sore boobs .Worried now though I am going back for a scan in 10 days where they can check again. I really hope it's a viable pregnancy after all these years of nothing.

Yep Abi, I've only got one sore boob!! And apart from that only some stomach cramps....trying not to worry too much - easier said than done! First time for me so I have nothing to compare it to. Only one week until my booking appointment. It can't come soon enough!!!!

I hope everything is ok for you happy trying to persuade dh we need a private early scan. He said he can't take any time off work to take me across town

I'm only 5 weeks and I want time to whizz forward to a midwife appointment! I'm trying to fill out the form we need to take with us and I've made a few errors already, must read the questions! I'm confused about the family history though. I need my mum to tell me who's had what so I can fill it in but I've not told my mum! Argh! Also I don't know how close family they mean. Parents and siblings? Grandparents? Uncles/aunts? Cousins? What?!

Hope you're all having a nice weekend apart from the worrying!
