First Pregnancies with Nov/Dec Due dates?

[EL332]

Hello

I thought I'd start a new thread for people who have are due late Nov/ early Dec

A bit about me...

I'm 28 have been married nearly 2 years and we were very lucky and managed to fall pregnant first month TTC...

I've self referred on the NHS website and am awaiting my booking in appointment 🙂

What's your story? ❤️

Let's hope it's the former! I have a massive phobia of vomiting and haven't done so for about 20+ years!

Well then I definitely hope it's the former!

All is good and measuring 8+2 which is exactly what I thought I was

@AnotherOriginalUsername 🙌❤️

@Another brilliant! So pleased for you. Amazing how quickly they grow, mine was at 6 weeks 6 days so only just a week and a half more and yours looks so much more like a baby!

Had my scan yesterday. LMP had me at 12+5 but I just knew that with my long cycles I was earlier. Turns out I was 11 weeks, which is 2 days too early for nuchal testing! I have to go back next week. Everything looked fine in there though. The baby was grooving about and waving.

Emma198 we saw little wavy flipper arm things and a good heart beat (my main concern with my own issues!) That photo I shared is one from the transabdominal scan, we have a photo of one of the transvaginal images which is even more human like!

Amazing! I only had transabdominal x

That's one of the TV images - can see little stubby arms and legs. We were also supposed to get a recording of the scan but the recorder wasn't working

How frustrating @hammeringinmyhead!

Great pics @AnotherOriginalUsername! So did they do both transabdominal and TV for you? I've got mine tomorrow, seems like you get a better image with a TV. Though to be honest as long as there is a little heart beat measuring the right size I'm not too bothered!

@ND348 yeah they did a quick TA which confirmed single pregnancy, in the right place, with heartbeat, then did TV for the most part - they looked at and measured/dared baby, got lots of views, pointed out head, heart, arms and legs etc. and then she checked the yolk sac, my cervix, ovaries etc. and wrote a report.

The place I went said they prefer to do TV up to 11 weeks

Dated even!

Got my first midwife appointment tomorrow, I assume I'm best going armed with a urine sample?

I did mine on the day, in the toilet across the hall from the consultation room!

Not sure if I’ve introduced myself here but feel confident enough now I’ve had my scan. I’m 6+6 today according to my dates with our first baby after TTC for 3 years. Due around 19th December ❤️.
Woke up this morning, got up too quickly and felt very dizzy and sick. Guessing this is normal?

I was asked to @another when I had my first contact appointment with midwife.

@MrsCrumbtious that's amazing. Congratulations! You must be over the moon.

I'll take one, not sure that I can perform on demand!

@Emma198 @AnotherOriginalUsername I've got to go armed with one to my consultant appointment... so I need to go to GP to get the sample pots??

Does anyone else feel like their shape is changing?

I feel like all my weight has loved to my tummy and so it looks much more bump-like than normal and my hips look smaller...

I've brought a couple of maternity bits in preparation and in them I have what looks like a definite bump because of the shape of them, but I'm only 9 weeks and hardly anyone knows so I'm trying to find things that are looser and am avoiding wearing my super comfy maternity jeans - despite the bloat/bump meaning I can no longer wear my normal ones 🙄

I have a noticeable bump. All bloat I imagine but I'm loving it

When I had my first contact appointment midwife gave me a pot to take with me already filled today. Xx

@EL332 if they need a sample they'll give you one but you could collect one if you know you'll definitely need one. I work in a vets so have free access to such containers!

Shape wise I feel huge. I haven't been following any kind of sensible diet (I'd previously lost 11st but put 5 back on over the last 2 years) but weighed myself this morning (not been to fat club for weeks) and am actually the same as I was 4 weeks ago despite eating at least 2 breakfasts a day!

I have a bump at 11+3. It's bigger by the evenings. My stretchiest skinnies do up, but I change into leggings at home! I can't wear maternity jeans to work until I announce it in a couple of weeks (haven't told any of the grandparents to be as they are hours away, but we're seeing them this and next weekend).

I have ordered bump bands from Asda do I can undo my trousers.

My bodies changed, I've noticed it this weekend. I put my normal jeans on and they were tight! I'm only 10+3 haha. It's not noticeable to anyone but me though, my DP reckons nothings changed, but I definitely do, more so in evening.

My midwife is one of my clients from work 🙈
