December 2017 babies

[LisaPoouts]

Hello all :) so just found out I am pregnant again :) had an early miscarriage in January and fallen on again, which is amazing. I am very anxious this time around and don't want to get too excited, but can't help myself. I also found being on here last time was actually a great help when it was taken away from me as people are so kind and it helps to talk, so if it does happen again I am in the right place xx anyway happy times now :) eeeeeek. Anymore early Decembers.
If there is already a group tell me and I can join that. X

Grumpy DH knew this would happen for years, and he's just the same! It's bloody scary, but exciting at the same time.

Can I ask your plan to hide it from work? I'm job hunting at the moment and am dreading having to cover it up from a new employer!

Oh and I want to be nosey. Where abouts is everyone based?

thanks zabe how are you feeling today?

Well I went shopping yesterday and bought two floaty blouses and a high waisted skirt for summer.. on my first pregnancy I didn't show till 20-25 weeks but second pregnancies apparently show much earlier! Ideally would like to hide it until at least 20 weeks (I work in a male dominated environment and have to assume the worst re discrimination).

@Zaberwocky I'm in Ireland, but from England!

And I was job hunting when my first (surprise!) pregnancy happened! I just carried on as normal. I was about 11w when I started my new job, and they were grand about it all when I told them at 18w.

@Zaberwocky I'm originally from London but just moved to Switzerland in November last year.

I found this really useful guide from a clinic in London which details the weeks of pregnancy and what you would typically see on a scan for each week. For those in the 4th week our little ones have already graduated to be embryos!!

Hey all. From other posts I said ive been getting very faint lines I'm my test and to buy a FRER today which I did. There is the most faintest line again but I thought its probably the line where the urine sample sinks into so I pulled it apart and one which I hadnt used and on thw one I hadn't used there wasnt no line at all so now I'm confused if it was a faint possitive or it's a bfn as ive been having bad cramps and bad back ache all day too.

Grumpysquirrel - Ahh it's so nice there's so many of us due at similar times. I keep getting a range of due dates, anything from the 9th-13th. I'm just hoping to avoid Christmas, but what will be will be!

Chocolate - That's so spooky that we have a scan on the same day too! I'm just going to try and relax and enjoy until then, I'm sure the next few weeks will go pretty quickly - especially with Easter.

Feeling quite tired these last few days - back to work tomorrow after a lovely 3 day weekend and not looking forward to it to be honest :(.

This ia the pic can others see it?

Ima Why don't you post a few pictures of your tests on here? Please don't panic! I didn't get clear lines until I was about five weeks, everyone is different. But maybe we can give you some reassurance? The problem is that period and pregnancy symptoms are so bloody similar! Back pain could go either way.

I did have a thought - Superdrug do some digital early pregnancy tests. I always managed to get a positive with those when early! It may be worth giving one of those a go, at least then it's clear and there's no guessing if a line is a line.

Although I have just seen the reviews! I've never had a false positive myself with one though.

Sorry Ima I'm clearly a bit slow today! I CAN see a line. It's really similar to what mine were like. I'm sure it'll get darker and more clear, but you're still so early, so please try not to worry too much about it. If you're really worried, you could see if your doctor would check your HCG levels, but I'm not sure if they would this early.

I'll post all of the ones I've done. I feel stupid if in the end theyre all negative. Ajd to top it off the doctor told me id probably end up having a mc due to health problems

Ima you are NOT stupid. A lot of us here have been in the same boat as you, I don't think anyone on here so far has had an easy journey to pregnancy! I completely understand what you're going through, it's so hard when all you want is to be pregnant.

I'm sorry if you don't want to discuss it, but why does your doctor think that'll be the case? Are they doing anything to help or support you? Surely if you're at high risk for miscarriage they'd consider seeing you for additional tests a bit earlier? It may be worth calling them.

The doctor said (as I went due to thinking this pain was something bad) to keep testing and if they're still there but not any darker to go back in a weeks time.

Oh these are the tests ive done

I have huge cysts on my ovaries and an abnormal hormone imbalance (most hormonal contraceptives causes me to have migrains and bad mood swings to the point I was close to being diagnosed as bipolar) but she wouldn't do a blood test till At least next week and told me to relax -.-

Ima I can see plenty of lines :) Especially on the pink dye ones. I think give yourself a few more days, and go get a digital. Hopefully by then you should get a nice, clear, accurate reading!

I know it's so hard, and I can't really talk, but just keep taking your folic acid and vitamin D, eat sensibly and try to relax and get plenty of rest. Have you got an appointment book provisionally for next week?

Ugh. Cysts do NOT help.

If this reassures you at all, they think the cause of all the free fluid around my pelvis is due to a cyst bursting, which attributes to the pain. I'm not saying your larger ones have! You'd know about that! But you could possibly have had a smaller cyst too.

It's just so confusing isn't it? There's so many possibilities :(

I think I'll leave it till Friday when my next day off and shopping day is. Also my iron is really low and the doctor said I'm unsure why, my reaponse was well could I be pregnant she done a test too and went nope negative but doesnt mean youre not its just ours aren't sensitive and told me to come back next week. So I think I'll book an appointment and go from there :)

I think that's a good idea Ima like I said, I'd really recommend those superdrug ones.

Are you doing anything about your iron?

Can anyone tell I decided I felt too ill to work and left early ?

If the pain gets worse all I have to do is go back to them and see what they'll do then. I didn't want to tell my Oh till I got a strong line but I think I might as he'll ask why I'm so gloomy.

I'm sorry zabe how you coping? The things us women go through is horrible :(

Also whats making it worse is I'm constantly feeling sick and dizzy (dizzy I think is connected to my iron)

I'm on 200mg ferrous sulphate twice a day for 2 months (been on it 2 already and it never went up) and if it doesn't go up any more I think they're going to do something about it.

I think I'll get that one in a couple of days and see how I get on.

Haha I dont blame you for leaving early xD

I really think you should tell your DH, I don't mean this in a horrible way, but I think you really need the support right now. And he's the best person to give it.

So did your doctor prescribe iron tablets? I know they can take bloody ages to work! If not go buy yourself a bag of frozen spinach and stick a couple of balls of it in everything you make for dinner. Can't even taste it! Dried apricots are also good for an iron boost.

The thing is, with your hormone issues, the dizziness could be attributed to the really rapid changes that happen in early pregnancy. It may not be related to the iron, but if you're low, you really should get started on doing something about it.

And I'm alright, like you, just knackered and dizzy!

Yeah they prescribed me them. Thought they would have upped my dose as 2 months havent made a difference but hey up in not a doctor xD

I'll pick up some spinach after work tomorrow (working in a supermarket has it's perks) and ask my manager what in can get to help with the dizziness (work in a pharmacy) without letting him know that I might be pregnant as I don't want him asking questions xD

My partner doesn't come back till half 10 tonight but I have cheese cake to distract him while I'm telling him xD

New to this site
Did two digital pg tests today first said 2-3 weeks and second 1-2 weeks going by the calculator thing said I should be due about 8th Dec. To be honest I'm totally in shock ( haven't told my boyfriend yet and don't know how to exactly ) I have 2 older children 8 and other will be 10ij 2 weeks. I'm totally freaking out as this was in no way planned. I'm currently in the middle of divorce with my ex which by the rate it's going could take another year or so. My boyfriend and I have been together over 2 years but don't live together and truth be told it may complicate my life more if we did but not sure this news is good or bad ATM. Don't get me wrong I have thought about the possibility of having more kids in the future but at least thought my divorce etc would be settled before we would consider that but funny how life is. I can't really confide in anyone about it ATM ( doc appointment on Thursday to confirm the pg) but stressing over everything right now including how to broach the subject with my bf.

I know how you feel about talking to people but all of is on here will have an ear to listen to you and a virtual shoulder to cry laugh or hug on.

Like others have said to me on here telling your Oh will be the best thing. It'll be hard but it'll be for the best. Welcome to the club :)

Welcome Eveni oh god. That's a lot to handle, even without pregnancy and a new baby involved! Have you thought about what you want to do? It may help to be clear in what you want before talking to your boyfriend.

But you do need to talk to him. I'm sure he'll be hugely supportive. I mean, he's taken on your children from your previous relationship, supporting you through your divorce, he clearly loves you and isn't scared of hard work and a bit of a challenge he's going to want to be there for you through this too!

I think as soon as you tell him, a huge weight will be lifted off your shoulders.

Thing is I feel really stupid ATM I was till today the pill. My house was broken into the end of Feb and threw my mental state for a loop and must of really screwed it up. With the break in and stress from a mountain of assignments at college and dealing with police, insurance etc and just starting to get back to normal ( except with the work load for college) and find out I'm pg . Currently studying early childcare and education which has me worried as haven't been taking folic acid etc till today either.
I've applied to do the degree in September but that could possibly be put on hold if I get in.
And bf has been amazing through all the break in stuff etc but I don't think he bargained for a baby as a result of it though.
I know I'm over thinking all of this but my stress levels have been through the roof recently and I have so many things going through my head ATM ( a lot of what ifs)
