December 2019

[BostonFern]

I'm hoping I haven't missed a December 2019 thread- apologies if I have.
I got my BFP at 10dpo this morning, giving me an estimated due date of 2nd December.
I know it's incredibly early-I'm very nervous about that at the moment!
Is there anyone else with a December 2019 due date yet?

Hi @SideEyeing
Welcome and congratulations.. do you think the pale pink spotting could be implantation? Maybe worth speaking to your GP if you have a history of MC... which I’m so sorry to hear. We’ll all look after you! 😃

Also joining after lurking a bit this week! I found out on Tuesday, this was unplanned and I am single though 37 and do want a child so after a bit of freaking out about whether I will be able to manage, I have decided I am all in! Told my parents, brother and two of my best friends now so it's starting to feel real after being extremely surreal at first :)

One question - I don't really understand how they calculate the due date/weeks pregnant - I know exactly when I fell pregnant because it was the result of just one time, just under four weeks ago/ March 9. But my app, and my friend, said they do it on the date of the last period and that I am therefore just over five weeks/due on Dec 4? How does that work? And what do people mean on here when they say 6+3 etc?

Thanks very much, and congrats to all of you ladies!

Hey all! Im soooo happy to have joined this site! You are all so welcoming! Im 32 and pregnant with my first, due around 6th december! I am so happy but nervous at the same time! Other than feeling cold all the time, hungry and vivid dreams I dont have symptoms yet.. will be 5 weeks 2m. Just hope this is normal as ive never been preg before! Holding out until I reach 6 weeks before I contact midwives.

@leonasa
Hi and welcome!
You go from the date your last period started. So for me that was 6th March, making me 4+1 weeks pregnant and due on 11th December. The 4+1 means 4 weeks and one day pregnant. Xx

Also for any newcomers I have created a ‘secret’ Facebook group for anyone who wants to join. Email me on [email protected] if you do and I’ll add you to the group. Xx

Thank you Enwi! I will drop you an email about the Facebook group. I am 5 +1 then, exciting! :)

Ahh @SideEyeing that is good to hear! I am not wasting any more money or energy!
Thanks @Sleepinglemon , I should know better than to waste tests and create worry.
@leonasa they use the date of your last period but then they use the date from the measurements of the 12 weeks scan

@Lozzlepop I'm in Fife too!

Think my date is more like 8 Dec when I account for a 30 day cycle so should be exactly 5 weeks tomorrow (first day was 1 March).

Made my booking appointment today it's in two weeks but picked up the booking pack from the hospital. There's so much to read!

I’m worried today. Since yesterday I feel “normal” again. I’m no longer tired and my breasts aren’t sore. They do feel slightly fuller than usual and I caught my nipple with the towel when I got out the shower which was a little sensitive. I’m 6+1 today. I haven’t had any sickness or anything. Am I overthinking this?

@Sweetpeace I feel 0 pregnant, and if anything I feel less tired and less moody. I worried until I saw my notes from last pregnancy and I felt the same. So I shall be grateful that I don't have to suffer nausea like others
Zero symptoms again!

@BostonFern sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday, I hope you are feeling a bit better today!

@Roxybaby12 I would have a chat, do you have a contract in place, surely they cant just tell you not to come back?

@Fuiseog ahhhhh massive congratulations, so nice to see another familiar face from the TTC thread

Hello and welcome @SideEyeing @leonasa congratulations to you both!

@Melonise hello 👋🏻lovely to see a fellow Fifer here! Mine is a week today, they never mentioned anything about going to collect a booking pack though? 🙈 Is your booking in appointment at Queen Margaret?

@windysowindy Thanks for the reassurance :) it all just feels like a long time until there is any certainty (as certain as you can be!)

@Sweetpeace at this stage it’s really normal for symptoms to come and go.

@sweetpeace when I was expecting my first I wouldn’t have known from symptoms I was pregnant at I felt and looked exactly the same. Google made me worry but it was absolutely fine. He’s five now. So don’t worry about it enjoy feeling good :)

Absolutely @Sweetpeace,you get those lines and all worries begin, forever 😭

@happilyevernever thanks for the reassurance I can’t believe I’m this worried and I’ve known for less than a week... it’s going to be a long 9 months!

@Sweetpeace I’m a bit more laid back this time, but I think it’s because I’ve been having a lot of very strong symptoms. My last pregnancy seemed to go on for ages though.

Oh gosh this group is so busy already!!!

Tentatively joining if that's ok?

Got a BFP on a frer at 10dpo.

I am 13dpo now and AF is due today or tomorrow. Depending which app you believe! So FX AF stays away!!!!

Normally, I get a bit of spotting for a couple of days beforehand and thankfully I've had nothing so far!

If everything goes well, I'll be due mid December!

@Lozzlepop thanks Hun and everyone-I’ll have a chat with her next week when she’s back.

I think I’m having coconut cravings-proper fresh stuff! 🤔 weird-didn’t have cravings with the first 2, only aversions! lol..
Just got my referral appointment at the hospital... not til June!! 😤 is it weird to be a little disappointed? I was hoping for a sooner scan-this will make me 14/15 weeks! It’s so far away! ☹️

Hope everyone else is going ok? Xx

@WildFlower2019 Congratulations!

I’ve got my first scan on the 21st May. It seems so far away

@happilyevernever Oh wow, a scan date! I'm sure we'll all be huddled around here/FB around that exciting time, but I agree it does seem far! Especially now that the days seem to be passing by reluctantly.

Welcome @WildFlower2019 . I'm still tentative about the whole thing, I was with my GP yesterday and he asked me about my general health. I found myself clamming up and didn't mention I was pregnant. I'm 4+4 today, so things still feel 'early'

Thank you for the welcome, @happilyevernever and @Lozzlepop !

I am so feeling really anxious today, so can relate, @Sweetpeace !

Only got the BFP yesterday and already worrying, what am I like?!

Had a very hard day yesterday from a physical/emotional perspective - nothing to do with symptoms at all, but spent a long time on my feet and cold so I was worried I wasn't making an "optimum baby home" of myself... 🙈 Couldn't be helped at all though, and won't be repeated.

Additionally, (TMI warning!) last night I had some watered-down blood when I wiped. Hadn't had any spotting berore that so know that logically it could be a later sign of an implantation bleed, but it did give me a fright. Anyway, it all combined made me worry so took another FRER this morning and again got a distinct line like yesterday's, but it wasn't any darker than yesterday, which worried me too! Today have some more cramps like right before I got BFP (not severe) and the same type as before AF usually. I honestly think the cramps right before BFP were the beginning of implantation, because they woke me in the night which has never happened before!

Best case scenario with everything working out well, this will be the longest 12 weeks of my life 😂🙈

AF was due this Sunday so I will feel really pleased to get a few days into next week, that will make me more comfortable I think. In the mean time, I have bought a CB digital test for tomorrow because I think having it spelled out would reassure me a bit!

Have had lots of tiredness but think it is also due to having a very difficult week out of the ordinary. Haven't had any breast/nipple sensitivity at all. A sore lower back the last couple of weeks but could be because of tiredness?

This is an essay, sorry! I know a lot of you are a couple of weeks ahead of me which in real life is nothing but in pregnancy terms is years as everything changes so fast, so sorry about all this early days stuff that you're past!

Hope everyone has nice plans for the weekend and sorry again for the ridiculously long post!

Welcome and congratulations @SideEyeing, @GemmiLou, @WildFlower2019 and @leonasa !

@Sweetpeace I think it's normal for symptoms to come and go at this stage.

@Roxybaby12 That does seem late! I thought it had to be sooner than that to do the combined testing?

@Fuiseog everyday seems like an eternity at the moment, I thought symptom spotting in the TWW was bad enough-now I worry about every little twinge!

Thank you @Lozzlepop Today has been better, glad it's Friday though!

@Fuiseog Congratulations! I had lower back ache from about a week after conception. I am 5 weeks on Sunday and still have it now. X

@Fuiseog hi and welcome/congrats.. I did exactly what you’re doing with the tests.. so panicked I did two frer and then a superdrug (don’t get me started on Superdrug tests)!!! SuperD said bfn so did a CBdigi that confirmed it and made it real. If I remember correctly the HCG levels double every other day so your line will gradually get darker.. but don’t fret! You’re doing great!

@bostonfern I think a midwife is supposed to be in touch soon (obviously not heard from anyone yet) for booking in appt... worked out I’ll be 12 weeks around 18-20May so I guess it’s not too bad but still feels like they’d be leaving it late to see if everything’s ok!
How are you feeling today? Any news symptoms? X
