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

The 1st trimester is indeed a unique torture. And one that I was not anticipating. I though that as soon as I got the positive result I'd be drifting around in a bubble of stress-free happiness... ha!!

Satsooma sounds like you are really having a tough time. Morning sickness is a lovely sign that things are progressing, but in reality it is hell isn't it. Try not to worry about your next scan too much although I know it is hard:(no have read that bleeding can be a normal thing for some women the whole way through pregnancy so I pray that this this is all it is. Try to stay positive and rest up xxx water makes me feel so sick at the moment, all I can drink is milk and diluted orange juice with ice xx very strange xx

Thanks robot, the bleeding is pretty light compared to last week, which was more like a period for 24 hours. I know the morning sickness is a great sign under the circumstances. It is just shit though, especially when we don't want to tell anyone until we get our next scan and have a better idea of whether things are ok.

It is our first and we have been TTC for 18 months. It would also be the first grandchild for both our families, so we just don't want to get everyone's hopes up just yet. It is pretty lonely and miserable dealing with the first trimester alone though.

It was horrible Zabe, I just felt hungover! I feel ok now. Everything I looked at was making me wretch. I was walking the dogs in the park and was sick, just water and bile. With my GSD barking at me to kick his football for him

Fingers crossed for you Sats & amazing. Such a worrying time for you. It is normal to bleed, so hopefully this is nothing to worry about.

I can't wait to get my booking in and scan appointment dates. Should be any day now. Just staying positive that my early scan will give me good news. After that I will really be able to start looking forwards to things. I'm going to get a 10 week scan if all ok at the 7+5 for extra reassurance before going away with friends for a wedding.

Is everyone else just wishing the days away at the moment?!

Think I may be the only one not going for an early scan.
I think I'd still worry massively between the early scan at 12 weeks.
I'm just trying to forget about the possibilities until the scan, easier said than done! Feels like such a long time
Nausea kicked in for me today too, 6.3 weeks and wrenching and almost chucked up my wheetabix just want to crawl back into bed.
DH has a hospital apt today so he's got 5 whole days off which is so so rare so really looking forward to it.

I'm not having an early scan either, wouldn't make me feel any less anxious, it doesn't change the outcome. However I can understand for some how it would be reassuring.
I'm feeling happy and excited at the moment but it's such early days, not even 4 weeks yet, wish I hadn't tested early because if it's another chemical I will be pretty gutted.
I felt a bit queasy this morning before I ate but I think that was wishful thinking hoping for a sign things are going well.
I had really bad sickness with my last pregnancy I barely left the house for 3 months being sick 20+ times a day my mum had to come care for me and dd as dh was away luckily it was the summer holidays (she's a teacher) . So I've no idea why I'm hoping the sickness will start.

Sorry for all of you who are feeling green today although it is a great sign that your hormones are working well!

Sats What an incredible weight you're carrying on your shoulders right now - I hope this week passes quickly and uneventfully for you and that you get great news from your scan xx

Chocolate My scan is also in 2 weeks time - I think we twigged before that they're on the same day. I can't wait! But also anxious to know that everything's okay.

I had another bad nights sleep - woke up achey and needing to pee at stupid o'clock. The aches scared me a bit so I was on knicker watch, but all good and the discomfort has gone this morning. Not sure what my little "shrimp" is up to, but he or she seems to cut me some slack in the morning and then everything goes downhill

Hello everyone, can I join?
I had a frozen embryo transferred on Wednesday 6th April and I got a positive test (well 2!) last night. EDD would be 24th December.
Didn't sleep a wink all night!! I have a 2 yo DD already from our initial round of IVF. Hoping and praying this little bean will get comfy for 9 months.
Am at work today and truly cannot concentrate AT ALL.
Symptoms:
Sore boobs
Need to pee
Constantly hungry
However these are also side effects of the progesterone suppositories I'm on as luteal support.
Just trying to take each hour at a time at the moment! Eeeek!

Congrats Lapin!!! I'm 5+5 on a fresh transfer, also looking forward to being finished with the progesterone suppositories, I'm also on progesterone IM injections, overload!!

Enjoy!! You have a little Easter Hatchling!!

Waving!!
How long do we have to take them for? I can't remember from last time!

Apparently some of the meds they start weaning at week 10 and some at week 12 so we should be free by week 14!!! I'm also on Clexane. I'm going to have a real celebration at week 14, feel so full of drugs!! I guess it's worth it as we have positive results thank goodness!!

Eek congratulations on the new bfps! I think December is going to be a busy month!

sats I'm thinking of you and sending positive thoughts. Really hoping for a positive outcome at your next scan!

Chocolate I'm definitely wishing the days away just now, just need my scan to hurry up and come around so I know where I stand!

Is everyone keeping a secret or have you told friends/family?
We haven't told anyone yet. We had a mmc in August and another mmc in January and we didn't actually tell anyone I was pregnant until the mc's had been confirmed so I guess that's quite crap news to through on people.
On one hand I would like support in place for if we have a 3rd mc but on the other hand I'd love to announce happy news to everyone!
I'm keeping schtum just now until the early scan at least and then will take it from there.

In other news, I woke up feeling quite queasy this morning 😷

So what are all the dates for people's mw appointments and scans? Maybe we could make a little list to keep track! X

Tootsy I'm hoping to keep it a secret for as long as possible! I completely get what you mean about wanting support, but with everything turning out okay, I'd rather not tell anyone till 16-20 weeks. I'd rather not telling DH's batty and controlling family until as late as possible 😂 If I could keep it a secret till 9 months I would!

Congratulations to the new joiners!

I am having major hankerings for McDonalds. I would NEVER normally eat McDonalds unless drunk/hungover! I have even sat and gone through the online menu to see what I would like

I am finishing at 12 today for the weekend and am seriously considering going and getting myself one!

GIMME WHITE CARBS NOW

tootsie we haven't told anyone yet. I'm planning on telling my boss once I'm back to work after the Easter hols (because I need the time off for booking in appointment!), then we're going to tell parents after our early scan which is 2 weeks on Sunday. Then no one else for a bit longer, just see how everything goes I think

Lapin Congratulations!! What a lovely time to get the news too, you have the bank holiday to enjoy it and let it soak in

Tootsy I feel like I've told quite a few people - I told my parents and six of my really good friends. My mum also told her sister, but we haven't told any other family. I was worried about telling so many at first, but ultimately they're people I would want to talk to if something went wrong... and I want to celebrate the fact I have a little one inside me right now with my nearest and dearest. I still have a massive list of people to tell to be honest haha but will wait now until I'm further along. I completely get people waiting though, and I don't think there's a right or wrong it's just what you feel comfortable with. Ohh, I love your idea of starting a list! My first scan is the 27/04/17 and my midwife appointment is 04/05/17.

Chocolate I'd go for the McDonalds if that's what baby wants

Hi all! Apologies for the mass update but here goes:
Amazing glad to hear of your good news re the digi!
Zaber yay your snail pic is so exiting!!
Lixon I'm also scared my digi won't progress but fingers crossed it does when I do it in a day or two.

Huge welcome to 60, fish, weasle and Latin. Hope I've not missed any new joiners. Congrats to you all.

Great news to Cham and Jc with your 3+ digis.

Satsooma sorry to hear of your concerns but the sickness sounds like a good thing!

Sorry to all those others that are sick too.

Raisin yes I'm definitely counting the days!

Tootsy a list would be great. At the moment these are my details:
EDD 14 Dec
Early scan at 7+2 on 29th April
No booking in appt yet.

I've had really dark lines on a FRER and ic today so that's promising. I drive around the region for a living and am dreading getting morning sickness when I need to be driving. Any tips?
Also, is the booking in appt normally at the gp surgery or hospital? I'm so new to all of this so don't know what to expect.

Happy Easter everyone.

Bluebell my booking in appointment is at the hospital. But that's purely because there isn't a midwife where I'm based. I'm not sure what the norm is though

Thanks zaber. That's good to know.

Bluebell Mine's in my GP surgery, so I suspect they're all different. Not sure about sickness while driving, how rotten for you - having said that driving is a huge part of my job so we might be sharing tips soon!!

Thanks bird. That's useful too about the gp surgery so I guess I'll wait and see! Oh dear yes hopefully we won't have to share tips as we won't get sickness. But, I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst!

Chocolate yes! I'm wishing the days away until my midwife appointment on 2nd May. I just need someone who knows what they are doing to tell me I'm doing the right things lol. I'm such a newbie at this!!

And Chamonix I'm not going for an early scan either. As this is my first every Pregnancy i don't think they'd let me anyways, and i don't think my OH would be too pleased about us paying for a private one! (although I'm a bit jealous of everyone who is)!

Feeling ok today, although very tired. But I've got used to expecting that now. Dreading - but also strangely wanting - sickness as horrible as it is, just for reassurance! (I am so going to regret saying that)!!

Welcome all the newcomers! Can't believe we may have Christmas day babies on this thread!!

tootsy I'm the same as bird. I had a MC in early Feb and we didn't tell anyone until after and it was pretty sad and lonely. We decided we would tell our close friends and family as we want the support of news is good and bad.

Eek I'm also always in the road. Any tips would be great!!

Fab if everyone is happy to start a little list to keep track of everyone just leave your EDD and any appointments booked and I will get them all together! We can just update it as we go along when dates change and new people join x
