BFPs after MC - Christmas Cake for Christmas Babies - Thread 1

[Cakelaur]

Here we go ladies!!! Let's continue it here and hope we all just switch from the TTC group to the pregnancy group

@kaytees I had a lot of sweets and chocolate with my little girl- but that’s not unusual as I have a sweet tooth.
Nice and healthy @Cakelaur

@MagicalCreatures I was similar with DS- would get a taste for one thing and eat it exclusively for a day or two. Like you it was strong flavours - roast chicken crisps, lemon tarts, those little marmite cheese things... I would say it's normal!

@Primrose16 I usually have a massively sweet tooth but have had no interest in chocolate at all. Just tinned fruit. Hoping this will continue for the healthy factor but I miss choc!

@kaytees haha ive already said I think I’ve got a little boy brewing in there. X

I haven't had any cravings as such, although crisps and Chinese food maybe....maybe that's the salt? But I have a massive aversion to tea and coffee of all descriptions. Tea makes me feel physically sick and I usually love a nice strong brew. I've even gone off the pukka fruit teas that I loved!

Hello all 👋 I'm tentatively saying hi and not sure I'll be here for long but thankfully frer a lot darker today (13dpo) and temp went up again this morning. @Cakelaur thanks for the link and I really hope I can stay here with you all. Is this a penguin huddling group too? 🐧🐧💕

What are people's 'Due Dates?'

I've got my booking in appointment in just under 3 weeks. I don't think anything will seem real until then or even until the 12 week scan to be honest!

My due date is in theory 18th January but il expect this to be a Christmas week baby.

Is everyone planning on finding out the sex?

It's hard not to think ahead even though it's way to early for anything to be a given

@BabynameEdie yes yes yes!! So glad you came over!! Lets see the frer pic? We sure do love a good 🐧huddle. Into the middle you go until you're ready for the outside!!

@Patienceofatoddler my booking app is today at 10am. EDD is 17th December (it changed by a day at my 8 week scan) but won't get a proper due date until my 12 weeks scan. That's on 6th June. Almost excited about the next scan. But think I'm gonna book a 10weeks private scan in between just to keep me calm. We're gonna keep the sex a secret. But I'm convinced I'm having a boy.

@Cakelaur here you go. First pic was early morning yesterday, second is today's

@BabynameEdie omg what a perfect line!!! So strong!! I'm so so pleased!! And a new year baby!! Have you figured out your EDD? FF should tell you based on ov

24th jan! @Cakelaur
It'll be a very happy January if this turns out to be viable and sticky 💕
Thank you for penguin huddle 🐧🐧

Hello all! Tentatively joining the 🐧 huddle if I may? 4+4 today after MMC in March. Absolutely terrified that it will all go wrong again but can't help but be ridiculously excited too. As ridiculous as it sounds I think I will book scans every fortnight up until 12 weeks as I am so anxious that my body completely didn't realise last time. But for now I'm trying to relax as much as possible. Easier said than done!

@TimeWaitsForNoWoman congrats babe!! Welcome to the huddle!! What's your EDD??

@BabynameEdie aww good date. Just around Jan pay days!! Hahaha! My best mate was due 24th and was a week overdue and she nicely hit beginning of feb. How many cycles after mc was it for you?

Hi all I'm still here in the back ground. Congratulations to all with bfp's or is soooooo nice to see we are all getting there....slowly bit surely. I've somehow made it to week 12 this week. Have my scan today. Still nervous but think it's normal considering. Anyway just wanted to say congrats

@Cakelaur Thanks my lovely! According to FF and Ava my EDD would be 20th Jan. It would be roughly the anniversary of when I found out I was pregnant with my MMC in March so I am keeping everything crossed as it would be so nice to mark that anniversary with a baby!

Just did my self-referral form. Shit's getting real!

@Kingy2910 12 WEEKS!! Gosh that seems to have flown by for you. I'm sure it's dragged for you though. My 9 weeks has dragged. But it's my birthday this weekend. So I'm gonna treat myself (or make my oh pay 😂) to another scan. Have you had any scans yet?

It certainly has dragged......had a scan at 8 weeks but these 4 weeks have been looonnngggg.....can't believe you're 9 weeks already cake

Ooh what a lovely strong line @BabynameEdie ! And welcome @TimeWaitsForNoWoman. Not ridiculous to book fortnightly scans, I had one last week and am considering another before the 12 week scan mid June! Anything to reassure.

@Patienceofatoddler EDD 03/01 but midwife etc seem to say baby will have to come early, so it'll be between xmas and new year.

Meanwhile I bought 5 more tins of fruit this morning as well as a whole lot of fresh fruit. I suspect the staff at Sainsbury's think I am crazy.

I have just rung up the gp to arrange my first midwife app and apparently it’s changed since my daughter and they call you to arrange! So I have to wait until next Wednesday for them to ring and arrange that appointment 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will be 9 weeks next week, so doubt I will be seen until 10 weeks the earliest. Massive fail. Ha ha

All good today. Measuring 12+4 so a little sooner whoop.....I would add a photo but I can't figure out how to........

@Kingy2910 that’s great

Call me a loon, but I cracked and booked a 10 weeks scan for next Friday!! Eek

Not a loon cake I wish I'd have had a 10 week scan it's such a long time 8 - 12 weeks......I'm hoping I can hold out 7 weeks til my next scan

Bpf worries...(tmi alert) so much cm today which is worrying me. Is that normal ladies?! These next few weeks will be the longest! Scan booked for 3 weeks time when I'll be 7 weeks 🤞🤞

Hi to the newbies! (I'm rubbish at name checking on the app!) Sending sticky thoughts!

I'm holding out until the next scan at 12 weeks (9 weeks at present) but the consultant did say I could just phone and ask if I want one in-between.

I've been craving carbs and cheese basically. Forcing myself to eat veg! I'm normally so good with it but the thought of spinach just makes me gag! I'm off tea and coffee too. That's a standard one I've had in all my pregnancies.

Nausea worse today. Hoping I'm reaching the peak of it about now though. How's everyone else getting on with it?

@BabynameEdie increased cm totally normal by the way
