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?

Do you need to tel the dentist your pregnant? I'm in for a filing later today and not sure if I need to mention it.... also I throw up brushing my teeth- good luck dentist!

@codenameduchess yes, I think you do, they don't do xrays if you're pregnant at my surgery.

Just ordered a dress off of Ebay for a wedding I've got in June, is it crazy that i wont be telling people till after (I will be 16 weeks 😂) so I got the dress a size bigger to hide my belly 🙈

I don't think it's crazy @Joanna0x haha I'm not planning on telling people until after 20 weeks (if I can hide it!) I have told my parents already though.

@windysowindy what came first your mumsnet name or the symptoms ? I’m waking up with stomach cramps which I’m hoping are just trapped wind (charming) as seems to go away in the day. I wish I hadn’t found out I was pregnant after first missed period as it seems like a long time to wait till 12 week scan

We have told immediate family though as the news came as such a surprise. My mum was furious, my in laws are over joyed

@elephantmarch why was your mother furious??

I'm not telling anyone until I am closer to 20 weeks, my little boy is 1 next month and my daughter has just turned 2 and I know I will get remarks about the age gaps etc so I'm just trying to delay it

@Joanna0x oh that will be a great age gap for the children, tougher on you in the early days but definitely worth it in the long term.

We have different values. My mum places a high value on careers and money. She’s worried about my career prospects and that we’ll be able to give our children ‘less’ as a result. She would like us to be sending them to private schools, skiing in the winter, in a house people admire etc but this is opposite to our values.

@elephantmarch I can imagine that's tough to deal with, hopefully she will come around as the pregnancy progresses.

I love my small age gaps although I am struggling tandem feeding my two so I will probably wean them both before this one arrives!

How do you book an early ultrasound? I didn't think I'd want one bit i am getting worried about my lack of sickness. I was feeling a little naseous a week ago and now but at all. I don't feel pregnant really. A bit of occasional bloating... But I'm starting to wonder if I'm just imagining all this!

Only...i don't know if to book before i go on holiday. Either it'll out my mind at rest, or if it is had, ruin my holiday. Also there is a chance i guess they won't find it due to position, which would worry me.

So maybe i should book one for just after. Only I'll be 8 weeks then... Which i guess is still a bit of time before the normal scan?

You can book them on the clinic's websites usually @fonxey. I'm feeling the same as you, I have no sickness and my only symptoms are bigger boobs and a bit of bloating so I'm worried it's all in my head! I've booked one for when I'll be 7+2.

@Beaglemum93 but which clinic? Would it be a private one or is it through the nhs?

Probs just being dumb! I can't wait until my midwife appt next Friday. Feels so far away.

@fonxey Hey, I went to window to the womb. They have clinics all over. Was £59. It was worth it for me, they also told me that I was 6 weeks, not 7 so I've had to reset my 12 week wait! Ha!
It was worth it to put my mind at rest though. X

It's a private one @fonxey. I just googled private ultrasounds near me and picked one with decent reviews. My first midwife appointment is tomorrow.

How about other symptoms foxney like sensitive boobs or heightened sense of smell. I didn’t feel pregnant with my first but it was all ok. I totally understand the worry though, this time I feel awful some days and dandy the next and always fret more on non nauseous days even though there’s no need to. 59 seems quite good value

@Beaglemum93 thanks. Still unming whether to book. Found one i can just do it all online.

@elephantmarch i dunno about boobs. They usually inflate around my period and they inflated earlier on and stayed inflated. I was on the edge of a b-c cup anyway. If i poke them they are a bit sore but maybe just from related jabbing!

@foxney I didn’t feel nauseous at all last pregnancy although turned my nose up at some foods. However I did get terrible terrible indigestion later on and it was awful, I looked better with a newborn then I did in late pregnancy as I just felt sick all the time. Think I would prefer nausea then that again? No nausea yet though.

Hi - bit late to the party but could I join? Do I need to do anything beyond writing message and simply watch the thread?! I’m 8 weeks and lovely that I have loads of energy and helps disguise things at work - but feels a bit odd that have zero symptoms. Not tired and no morning sickness. If you’ve had previous experience, is this ok and just to be appreciated or other?

@StellaWilke some women don't get symptoms, or they come later, just enjoy it 😀 I'm struggling to hide my sickness and having to nibble all day is raising eyebrows already and I'm not even 8 weeks 😂

@codenameduchess Thank you, I guess I should then! Hope you are hanging on in there...

@StellaWilke this is baby number 1 so I can't speak from experience but I know that other people on MN have discussed not having any symptoms so I think it does happen?
I kind know what you mean though, I'm 9 weeks now but at the start every morning I got up I checked that my boobs still hurt and became paranoid at the weekend because I wasn't so tired, never mind the fact that I hadn't been working!
I went for a private scan last weekend which really put my mind at rest. Things can still obviously go wrong but I know that last Sunday everything was just fine.

@smartcarnotsosmartdriver Good to know it's just not me then. Guess we should just keep quiet and feel grateful!... Sending solidarity to all others that are having a more nauseous time...

Another one with no symptoms here! Sore boobs at the beginning but they've settled now. It was the same with ds1 though so I'm trying not to freak out.

I googled private scans near me and Harley street came up first. Probably won’t be 59 pounds but perhaps I could get my nose done at the same time

Glad to hear from others who as of yet have not experienced any. I kinda would like some though. Bit not between the 4th-14th may as on holiday. That's when i will prob feel sick! Hah. I'll be 7-8 weeks by then.

I think i do have sore boobs. But as bad as other people described though. I mean, 8 guess i expected now as my boobs often get like this around my period.

My cat walked about on them this morning and more sore than usual. So hmm.

Hi everyone

I am really stressed out today as have had really bad pain in my right upper arm and shoulder from about lunchtime. Stupidly I googled and it's a symptom of ectopic. Now terrified. DH thinks I'm over-thinking it and has banned me from google. Hope he is right.

Nearly called the EPU but by coincidence have private scan booked for tomorrow afternoon and I'll be 7+4 tomorrow. Going to hope this is a crazy coincidence and that tomorrow's scan is all normal.
