December 2016... Babies

[Penguinepenguins]

Doesn't seem to be a thread yet for babies due in December, possibly because I'm crazy and POAS really really early but a line is a line and today was my "double check" second day and a BFP it was again!

I sadly had a miscarriage in November found the July babies thread a huge help in my early days of pregnancy and the ladies were very supportive after the MC - I've just returned to mumsnet under a new name as I was finding it a bit painful at one point and went a bit cold turkey from it all!

So here is a bit about me

I'm 38
This will be baby number one for me
EDD 3rd December (know when I ovulated been using the monitor - the app ok many apps I've consulted this morning confirm this as the date

Very nervous after last time but want to enjoy every minute I can, I loved being pregnant before and want to do all the same things as before just keeping everything crossed for a sticky one.

Who is ready to join me

Welcome Theaks too. I hope you have a sticky bean this time, and I'm sorry to hear about your losses.

Sadly I think things have decide not to work again for me this time, weekend of very nasty cramps and bleeding - I know it might not be the end but I know my body pretty well and sadly not my first time in this situation.

In the "is this really happening to me again" stage but off to doctors tomorrow and I'm sure lots of test will follow - I just wish there was a magic pill!

Will let you know how I get on and welcome to all the new ladies!

Oh penguine, I'm sorry. It's horrible!!!
Sending lots of love.

Ah, that's awful Penguine. Good luck at the doctor and take care of yourself in the meantime.

Sorry to hear your news penguins. Hi to all newbies

Been decorating (I've done very little my husband has done a lot) had lunch with my parents yesterday and wound up telling them - they were so supportive during our first miscarriage and if the worst happens again, I'm sure we will need their support. They were just as stunned as we are that its happened to quickly but are very pleased. I'm being as chilled as possible and trying not to worry, I hope more than anything that this is a successful pregnancy and leads to a healthy, happy baby but there's nothing I can do to control it so just need to stay as calm and rational as possible.

Boobs more tender now and a bit squiffy - still very tired and gassy/bloated but nothing else yet.

Will be ringing the GP tomorrow re: midwife referral as at 5+3 it's about time.

I've told my parents too, we're actually visiting them for a few days and I know I need support if I miscarry.

Oh Penguine, I'm sorry! Sending you big hugs and loads of love

I'm so sorry Penguine. I hope the doctors are kind and helpful to you tomorrow. Sending love. xx

Thanks everyone, feeling very deflated with it all today, go from trying to convince myself it will be ok to fearing the worse. There was there isn't any more a large box of chocolates that have disapeaed i ate the lot didn't share one eating emotions seems to help a little bit :)

I have two marvellous doctors at my surgery who know me quite well so I feel better waiting to see them, they can do blood tests and stuff there so nicer than hours in A&E But if the pain gets any worse off to A&E I will go, eptopic is my big fear.

I just so wanted this time to be easy and plain sailing :) But all we can do is just take big breaths and keep fingers crossed xx and eat lots of chocolate

I think the type of bleeding you get with ectopic is different. Dark brown and thin. That doesn't sound like yours. Also the pain tends to be (but isn't always) one sided. Don't be disappointed if they don't do anything. At this stage of pregnancy the most they can really do is do blood tests two days apart to see if hcg doubles. It's too early for a scan to show anything and the NHS rules are generally no further investigations until after three pregnancy losses. It's not great, but if your GPs are sympathetic then just talking to them should help. Fingers crossed for you.

Penguine I'm so sorry to come on here and read this. Glad to hear you are munching on lots of chocolate to keep you going. Sending you best wishes and a big hug from me

Hello and congratulations to all the newest members on the board!

Oh penguin I'm so sorry. I know words won't make you feel any better but Take care of yourself and eat as much chocolate as you like today.

I have just don't a really cheapy 2 for £1 test... And think it's negative. I know they are less sensitive but I was hopeful there would be something as the line on the superdrug early test was quite good yesterday. I have got a superdrug early for tomorrow and a clear blue digital but don't want to wee on them too early as they are so expensive I don't want to waste them. Cue a day of worry! Knew I should have waited too tomorrow! X

Thanks for the well wishes ladies X have been through this a few times now, just doesn't get any easier but it's really nice to have your support, it's such a lonely place to be in it's the not knowing that gets me I wish part of us would "glow" to give an indication of what is going on in there :) how great that would be and think of how much money we would save on sticks!!

I've had one suspected eptopic before which was just I say just it was horrific a very nasty miscarriage and know two ladies who have eptopic pregnancies both very different - so naturally a bit nervous of this:

sunny Amazon have really good prices sticks that are used by the NHS that can pick up from six days before - the cheapest way to get sticks if you find your obbsesed by them

Penguin I'm so sorry, how are you feeling? I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.

Thanks everyone, I don't think I have any choice really but get on with it and make my excuses!

Just read through all the posts... Congrats ladies and Penguin.

I got my bfp on Friday and it's sinking in slowly. EDD from 28/11 to 2/12 so will hang in here because I had a similar range with my DS and he arrived on 2/11.

I am 37, I have one DS who is 8. I am approx 4+6. Plan to ring my GP tomorrow to book etc as I want my bp monitored because I had pre-eclampsia last time.

Plenty of symptoms - tired, sharp cramps, slightly out of breath when I climb the stairs, going to the bathroom lots. Keeping everything crossed for a healthy 40wks.

Congrats, MrsJoJo! Welcome!

Tentatively joining as I've had a few (faint!) positive tests over Easter! EDD is the 7th December.

Congrats MrsJoJo and NotAClue! Welcome to the thread! x

Thanks KitKat!

I'm only about 4 weeks but I'm starting to feel sick already. Very happy though

This may sound strange and I'm not even sure how to put it, but I haven't told my husband yet. Well, I told him that I might be pregnant the other day (I wasn't sure then) and he looked so terrified that I've not dared to bring it up since!

We have a four year old already and both of us love being parents (the newborn days especially!), so it's not that he doesn't want to have another child... I guess he just didn't expect it to happen so soon (1st month of trying, took a lot longer with our older child).

Now I'm sort of waiting for the right moment to tell him but it just never seems like the right time... At the same time I think he must know; earlier this morning I had run up the stairs whilst puking into my hands!

Maybe he's waiting until Thursday (that's when my period is due & he knows that)... I don't know. Feels very odd not to talk about it with him, we always talk about everything normally.

Anyway, now you probably all think I'm nuts for not telling my husband...!

Only just finished reading the whole thread. Thinking of you Penguin, take care of yourself xxx

Hi ladies,
Can I join you please?
Faint line this morning, rough EDD around 4th Dec I think but I haven't fully kept track so end Nov/beg Dec I think.

We already have DD, 16 months, who will be 2 in mid Nov. I have taken 2 years off with her and was planning to return to work in Sept, but looks like I will be rethinking that plan! We had to move just after DD was born due to DH's job so I resigned and didn't return after maternity leave but was planning to return to do supply (primary school teacher) if not pregnant again by Sept.

I am not testing again until Friday as we are about to go away for our first trip minus DD so will enjoy that before I tell DH on Friday.

How is everyone feeling? Not many signs here, just a few days of implantation bleeding which I also had with DD.

Penguin, sorry to read your update. I hope it isn't that. Thinking of you.

Hi ladies, thanks for all the nice words and support X

Sadly my GP agrees with me and unfortunately this baby wasn't to be.

Am not sure how I'm feeling it has happened a few times to me now and doesn't ever get easier, I think I am now just in shock. have gone through all the stages and right back to shock again.

I am however being pushed up the list for the clinic and to try and find out why this keeps happening but have discovered this may not be for 12 weeks - so we are looking at private options as 12 weeks is to long (I get impatient during a TWW am hardly
Going to be able to wait 12 weeks now am I ffs)

Doctor said there is nothing we can do, we just have to sit it out but she was so kind and supportive but ultimately suggested hugs, cry a lot, eat a lot of chocolate, TV and maybe a big bloody glass of wine.

I send my love to all of you and keep everything crossed for you all - keep POAS and enjoy every minute of it, I'm going to disapear of mumsnet for a while but i will be back hopefully very soon.. :)

take care xx

Hi All

Can I join you guys? I'm 4+5 with our first, EDD is 2nd December but that's just the NHS website's prediction!

We found out I was pregnant on Good Friday and ever since it is literally the only thing on my mind!! Symptom wise I've just had a couple of mild waves of nausea, some cramping which I presuming is my uterus stretching and mega bouts of fatigue. I could sleep all hours god gives right now, work today after a long weekend is a killer!! Staying away from home tonight with work and already looking forward to a super early night.

Penguine I'm so sorry you're having such a horrible journey so far, fingers crossed for lots of baby dust and happiness in your future.

Penguine sending lots of love. It's good you have been pushed up the list but 12 weeks does sound bloody long (how long is the normal wait!) I can understand you going private. Wishing you all the best
