Hello! I have been TTC baby number two for 3.5 years, two years ago I was told IVF was my only option.
Today I have taken four tests (just to be sure) and all of them are positive!
I'm a bit shocked, obviously delighted, but can't tell DH for another week as he works away.
I thought I should set up a thread for any other Christmas bumps!

Congratulations!! I've just found out today too. Worked out due around 23rd December. My periods have been bit erratic recently so may be few days either side. What a lovely Christmas present for us all!

I found out yesterday, due Dec 28th but sure it's an elective c section for me - this is baby number 3 - so guessing around the 23rd. Congrats everyone :-) x

Hello, i got my first ever BFP yesterday, after 4 years TTC and 2 rounds of IVF/ICSI, was beginning to think it would never happen so still in shock!
I think i'm 4 + 3 today and estimate my due date as 27th Dec!
My first scan is booked for 12th May x

I might jump onto this post if it's ok? I'm new to here and this is my first post... eeek!
We got our beautiful positive yesterday, I couldn't believe it as was using an eBay cheapie and got a very very faint line, we went and bought a clear blue digital and got the words I've been wanting to see! Pregnant 1-2 weeks!!'.
Now I may not belong on here as when I put my last period date in, my due date has come up as 1st Jan 2018... lol! But really wanted to join so I can see what you're all going through and compare!! Smile

Meeshel29 · 23/04/2017 08:23

I found out I was pregnant yesterday last night. Four positive tests on eBay cheapies and a late period but still not convinced 😂. Estimated due date 28th December ...

MummyM33 · 23/04/2017 18:03

Meeshel29 that's brilliant! Congratulations!! 🎉

Meeshel29 · 23/04/2017 23:05

Thank you. Took a digi tonight come back at 1-2 weeks .... eeee it's really happening !😍

noodleaddict · 23/04/2017 23:09

Can I join too? Positive test last night and rough edd 24th Dec...going to be an interesting Christmas! Already have a dd who will be 2 in July. Congrats to all the mammas to be on here!

MummyM33 · 24/04/2017 08:42

This might sound like a silly question but this is all so new to me!
I've just booked a docs appt for wed to confirm and get things started. I was going to take my partner but not sure if people normally do, will you be or going on your own? x

newmumtobe86 · 24/04/2017 09:15

@MummyM33 At the first Drs appointment they just ask last date of period and take your blood pressure, they'll then refer you to a midwife so quick appointment. Not really worth partner going but can take them Smile

MsRose31 · 24/04/2017 12:26

When I went for my first appt when I was pregnant with my daughter they asked my partner about his family's medical history, i.e. health problems like heart conditions, diabetes etc.. This time around he can't come to the appt but I know all of his answers anyway so midwife said that's fine!

noodleaddict · 24/04/2017 15:39

Yes first appointment not worth taking your partner I think though doesn't matter if you do of course. At my last they just asked the date of my last period and totally ignored him!

Meeshel29 · 24/04/2017 16:19

I rang my doctors today and they said that they don't deal with the first appointment. I had to fill in a piece of paper and wait for my midwife to see it Friday and then she will contact me to come to my house for the first appointment

Hope2409 · 24/04/2017 18:56

Everywhere is so different, my gp didnt even want to see me, just gave me the number of the midwife team and i had to call them and make an appointment!
First appointment with them is 18th may x

MsRose31 · 25/04/2017 07:59

Oh sorry I read it really quickly and misread! Yeah I didn't see my GP at all.. I was talking about my first midwife appt when I mentioned partner's family history etc! X

Meeshel29 · 25/04/2017 11:01

Has anyone got pain in their stomach?? Like lower down. It bloody hurts 😫 I forgot what being pregnant is like , my kids are 7&6!

MsRose31 · 26/04/2017 19:47

Hey Meeshel, how's the pain doing? I'm getting niggles rather than pain, but it feels similar to my last pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage Sad
