Mid-Late November due dates

[AGnu]

I see there's a thread for early November due dates but I can't see that anyone's started one for the later dates yet. Not sure yet if this one will stick around but if it does it'll be our DC3, due around the 18th.

Someone come chat to me?!

Early scan today.
I was told there maybe a sac (thankfully NOT attached to the septum - phew!) and its 2mm - more like 5 weeks? Thought I was 6+2?!

She took some bloods and going back in 2 days to see if hCG levels have gone up.

I'm really not sure what to think of this - does anyone have any ideas? Good news/bad news?

Stuck in limbo and feeling very anxious.

mcthubbers you may have just ovulated later, so that may set your dates back a little?
teaandpjs wow that's a surprising scan, so you could potentially have twins in there?! Really hope the next scan is better xxx

harriet I'm really nervous too, I had two miscarriages back to back last year both at 10 weeks 3 days :( I'm getting so panic stricken the closer I get to 10 weeks. I know having a scan won't change the outcome but I just hate this not knowing x

hazand yes potentially 2 but need to wait and see if the main 1 is an onhoing pregnancy and they'll check 2nd sac at same time but could be nothing tho got a scan about 8 weeks ago to check shape and check for any abnormalities after MC in Oct and there was nothing to be seen then so if it's not 2nd pregnancy then it's fairly recent

mcthubbers don't mean to be blunt but no saying in wether it'll be good/bad news! I'm in exact same boat today and the sonographer told me it could go either way and they'll check for growth etc in 2 weeks

Sorry forgot to say, it could be 2nd pregnancy but also may not be as stated above

@mcthubbers I am in a similar position, had an early scan last Wednesday at the RM clinic which showed nothing, just a thickened uterine lining. Nothing in my tubes or free fluid. The consultant said it was probably too early to see and could be 1. An early viable pregnancy, 2. A non viable or 3. An ectopic/PUL. My hcg was 442 and 1010 48 hours apart and prog 56. I am trying to remain neutral but its very hard. I'm booked for a follow up in 2 weeks, but I could have a scan at my local epu if I want, but I'm reluctant to receive yet more bad/inconclusive news.

Interesting news Tea - uncertainty is difficult to manage as you wait to find out if it's a viable pregnancy, but then excitement at the potential of twins. I would be a bit of a wreck myself I think.

How are you holding up Hazard?

I've got my appointment with the nurse at work to formally register as pregnant. Went to the hospital for a formal letter today and it's really quite weird to have an official stamped document and everything. Like the scan wasn't enough!

Got my Kramzorg booked which is important but there is uncertainty over the midwife. The one I want I am just one street out of the catchment zone for. They said to call back when the gynie has discharged me (after the results of the combination test which I won't have until mid May) and they will see if they can make an exception. I really hope so as this practice has a great reputation is just four midwives which is exactly what I want.

I'm feeling remarkably calm about this pregnancy. Still not settled enough to buy any baby stuff (I have been coo'ing over sleep suits etc in the shops) but am working on the basis that it'll more than likely all work out just fine so expecting the best but preparing for the worst.

The book buying has now started in ernest (I like to read and research). On order I now have:

• The Baby's Coming, Virginia Howes
• Baby Catcher, Peggy Vincent
• The Calm Birth School, Suzy Ashworth
• New Active Birth, Janet Balaskas

I already have Expecting Better by Emily Oster and DH now has The Expectant Dad's Survival Guide and Comando Dad.

I have another half dozen books on my list to get, but wanted to space it out a bit!

Nausea is sitting with me for twelve hours a day and only relents when I eat. So I'm scared of becoming a fatty as I'm snacking on crap food (but main meals are very healthy). Exhaustion is overwhelming. I have to be in the office two days this week and am working from home the other days. Evenings are write offs. Really frustrating as we had tickets to go to a concert last week that we called off as I was too tired and DH couldn't find anyone else to go with at the last minute. He was really looking forward to it as well and had booked the tickets over six months ago.

Sorry for the long ramble. Going a bit crazy here working from home today with no people interaction!

Wow teaandpjs how frustrating not to know yet! Really hope all is well. How would you feel about twins? I think I'd be excited and also petrified! They run in my family (inc my bro and sis) so I think I've got increased odds.

Saw my GP this afternoon and basically forced her to refer me for an early scan (I hate her so glad don't have to go there again). How long might it take for the hospital to get in touch (is that how it happens?).

It's such a lovely day here in London!

harriet I'm petrified tho excited too tho tryi g not to get my hopes up

Got my 12 week appt letter in the post this morning, very quick and it's about 2 weeks earlier than I thought it would be, exactly a month from now. It's a good early morning appt so I'm hoping if I get there early I'll get seen fast, won't be fun waiting around there with a toddler in tow this time!

Sometimes early scans can cause more upset than good :( things change so quickly in the early weeks, babies catch up etc. I really hope you both get the results you want at your next scans xx

Ginger how many weeks are you now? That's some extensive reading! I'm still in denial about it really so other than little googles here and there I'm kind of ignoring everything baby-related. I totally hear you on the exhaustion, I can barely make it past 7pm and my eyes are closing on me. It's definitely getting worse! X

Hazard 7+3 so early days. I've a touch of the controller in me so can go a bit overboard with researching! There's sod all else I can control so I think I'm focusing on this one aspect.

Yikes that is a lot of reading!

Worried about becoming a right tubby before baby even starts to grow! Am 6+1 and already put on 2 kg!

Anyone else joining me in the nauseous / eat everything in sight club?!

lydia Eating is the only thing that stops the nausea so oh yes I am definitely in the same club!

I have got to sort it out otherwise I'll be a total fatty and that'll just upset me further down the line. But seriously. ALL. THE. FOOD!

For me it's drinking that triggers the nausea. I got really quite ill with DS2 & probably should've been hospitalised at one point - trying to avoid that happening again but that means forcing myself to drink even when I feel like I can't. Food sometimes helps the nausea & I feel at my best after dinner but then enjoy feeling not-quite-so-ill & end up staying up really late.

Today's been not so bad for the nausea but I think that's probably because DH worked from home Friday & today which meant I've had a lie-in/slept on the sofa all morning for 4 days now. Not overly helpful for his work but at least I can rest knowing there's another adult around to intervene if the DC are playing with knives or something! DH is back in work tomorrow & part of me is dreading it but part of me is looking forward to being able to just stick the DC in front of a DVD without him popping his head round the door & commenting that it would be good to do something more productive...

I'm 7+2 today. Booking in is in 10 days & I'm hoping I can talk them into giving me a scan just before 12 weeks so we can get DS1 used to the news before we have to tackle the concept of a long flight! Not sure where we'd even fit an early scan in! I'll be 13+5 when we fly & there's still so much to do & given how awful I'm feeling we can only really do those things when DH is around so have limited time available as it is, without trying to shoe-horn a scan in! Plus we can't afford to waste money on something we'll get in a few weeks anyway... & if I keep reciting all these logical reasons then maybe sometime I'll stop wanting an early scan...

Symptoms wise, DS1 was completely symptom free, other than a moment at 7dpo. DS2 was a lot like this one so far, ditto the last 2 pregnancies. I was so hoping for another symptom-free pregnancy, although I'd be driving myself mad thinking I'd imagined the BFP!

The exhaustion has hit me today and of course today was the day I got stuck in a huge traffic jam.

Have now retired straight to bed with a packet of Bourbon biscuits

I have a really bad cough. You can imagine how good that is with nausea.

sock bourbons for the win!

I've had a bit of bleeding today was just there for one wipe and has stopped now but this was how my previous early mc started.

Waiting for a call back from out of hours gp to discuss, will ask for a referral to epu as this is all so stressful.

I'm supposed to be in London for work tomorrow so a bit stressed about that too.

buttery I'm sorry you're going through this and worrying :( it's so hard. But each pregnancy is different. Both my miscarriages were completely different. I had a meltdown on Friday night convinced it was over because I got some stringy discharge like how my last m/c started but as yet I've not started bleeding. Def get in to your local EPU x hope you're ok xx
