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? ❤️

Think someone posted a link to it on here the other day so I had a read through it...

Yeah well it sounds like a dream lol whether or not your birth is as straightforward is another thing. Postive thoughts... Positive outcomes!!

How are you coping with feeling unwell/picking up bugs ? I've picked up a full blown cold and can't reach for the trusty Lemsip to help out. Its now causing bad sinus headaches too. Combined with that today has greeted me with bad diarrhoea (sorry if tmi!). Mixed in with pregnancy tiredness and nausea I'm feeling like a big bag of poo (literally 😂). Any advice would be welcome x

Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish @ND348, I can't really help there as I've fortunately been absolutely fine so far.

Besides tired. I'm so tired right now I think I might die of tired. I'm on a 55 hour week this week and I've just been roped in to working Saturday night for charity. I think I could cry.

@ND348 I had a horrible head cold about a month ago and it knocked me out, I wasn't able to stay on top of my nausea and that's when I was being quite sick ...

I ended up having to take a few days off work and just slept and slept and slept and drunk so much lemon and ginger ...

I was really worried about taking and medicines so just stick with the above - it hung around longer than a cold normally would for me but I think that's because our immune systems are so low in early pregnancy!

I hope you are able to rest and be kind to yourself ❤️

Oh @another how are you doing that?!

@nd the worst I've had that I'd normally take something for is a headache x

@Emma198 I'm fine in the morning but my awakness/feel good/general tolerance dwindles as the day goes on!

I caved last night and took a paracetamol at 3am as hadn't managed to sleep at all. It took the edge off but I felt guilty for taking it even though at my booking appointment the midwife said it was fine to take! The joys of pregnancy...

@ND348 don't feel guilty - there's people out there who drink and smoke throughout pregnancy and their babies pop out fine!

Are you feeling any better this morning?

I've decided I need to get back to some sort of sensible eating...wish me luck

@ND348 my consultant told me paracetamol was fine too 🙂 I hope you start to feel better soon!

@Another I also need to star trying eat a bit more of a balanced diet now that my nausea is subsiding!

I'm just getting ready to head off for my dating scan!

Eeeeeeeeek

Good luck!

Oh my goodness, it's a baby!

I was told I was exactly 12 weeks so my due date has moved to 29th November.

Tiny one is doing well and has a strong heartbeat, it was wriggling about and was sitting on its head though so we have been asked to return in a week so that they are able to complete all the measurements when baby is hopefully a little calmer! 🙂❤️

@ReiofHope 'it's a baby!' Is exactly how I felt - still feel a little bit shocked at just how baby like it looks! Congratulations to you on your lovely photo 💞

Lovely pics, but very jealous...... how will I cope with waiting another 17 days!!!!!!

@EL332 your baby was exactly the opposite of mine! My baby was too still and they made me have "half a wee" and cough a lot but that didn't work so I had to go walk up and down stairs outside the unit.

In the last week I've been sick twice, I wasn't sick at all before that. I really hope I won't have sickness in my second trimester!

Lovely pics guys 😊👍🏻

Aw great photos! Still a week to go until mine, it's taking forever!

Love the photos! I had to go to a conference with work today and everyone kept asking if I was ok as apparently I looked awful, nothing like a compliment to make you feel better! Weekend will be full of rest I'm hoping

Well my attempt at being healthy went out the window...my boss bought us all pizza for lunch!

I'll take my nice healthy salad I made for lunch tomorrow instead!

Anyone else getting stretching pains down your sides?

No, but I keep pulling my lateral abdominal muscles when I turn over in bed or stand upright from bending over. Most annoying!!

@Emma198 @AnotherOriginalUsername I get aches which I've been told are stretching pains and like you another, if I move too quickly it feels like I've pulled a muscle! Usually getting out the car which is weird but not sure what that is x

Ok today I've got what may be described as a stretching feeling, probably the round ligament I'd say which is probably also responsible for the twanging pain I get on the other side when I turn over

I'm twanging and stretching when I turn, stand up, sneeze. Stretching down my sides and round my hips.
