Newbie to the pregnancy board! Due end of December.. anyone else due around the same time?

[Rose2887]

Just looking for a board to join, have just started weaning myself off conception. I’m due 26th December. Feeling like it would be nice to join a group with people due similar time :)
Feeling a little anxious about things going wrong and dp doesn’t really understand x

Due Date: 30 Dec (but hoping for early Jan arrival)
Existing children: None
Partner: married to DH for 3 years
Previous pregnancies: None
Job: University lecturer
How are you feeling today: No symptoms till date*

*Got worried about the lack of symptoms last week, but the CB test showed 2-3wks as compared to the previous 1-2wks, so I am hoping all is well.

Thank you everyone! It wasn't a huge surprise as we'd discussed it happening in the next few months and we'd already talked about how it's going to be a super chilled registry office job with some food at a pub or something after. But didn't expect it while eating Risotto in my trackies and doing online banking...

Due Date: officially 31st December but more likely to be around 3rd Jan I think

How are you feeling today:
Found out in the day of my missed period I am pregnant. Didnt have any symptoms with my other pregnancy's but wow I've been having sickness sore boobs and bloated. Hoping for a girl this time 😁

Hey everyone please can I join? My due date is around 3rd Jan I think... I rang the Dr's and they said the midwife would contact me. This week. This is my 1st so I really don't know what to expect... just going with it at the moment.

Hi @Alice2018 congratulations.

I haven't heard from my midwife yet either. From what I can gather they normally contact you at around 8 weeks. Its my first as well so I don't really know what I'm doing but have been doing lots of reading around it.
I think it is different dependant on where you live.

Congratulations @Alice2018!

I called the GP and they have booked me an appointment for end May. From what I figured the appointment is with the GP and not a midwife. They also said that I could go ahead and register directly with a hospital if I wanted to, but I am waiting to see the GP first.

Thanks @emmalou9 and @Jallebi congratulations to all of you too!

I rang the Dr's today and they said the midwife will call me tomorrow or Thursday but I'm not sure what for... I don't know if it's just a phone call or if I will have to book an appointment.... I'm hoping they will be able to tell me everything, I have no idea how everything works from here, I like to be prepared and right now I'm definitely not!

@emmalou9 I'm trying to read everything too!!! Soooo much information to take in!

Yes I'm supposedly due 8 December.
Been having weird abdominal pains so Iv been freaking out have an early scan Wednesday hoping everything is ok. Already a mum to 11 yr old identical twin boys x

And please don't tell me I am the only one who is an evil hormonal mess at the moment 😭🤦‍♀️ I'm terrible with my hormones and just want to eat EVERYTHING which is bothering me as I am usually such a fitness freak

Hope it's all plain sailing.....xXx

How are you feeling today: better. I was shattered all weekend, and did very little after a hectic week at work and a late night Friday. Today, I have sore boobs, too much saliva and am a bit nauseous, but generally feel okay.

@Mrsbroodymamma wow I feel like you're going to be a very good source of knowledge! Six girls! My family is all girls, 11 of us amongst my sisters and cousins. Can't imagine what it would be like to have a boy tbh.

What's everyone been doing tonight? I've been reading stuff about labour which I definitely should not have done, prodding my mammoth veiny boobs and having terrible wind. My DP is a lucky man

@FireAndRain45 my evening was eventful, should have been watching endless repeats of one born every minute and scaring myself but ended up with a massive leak under our sink, two days before we go on holiday. My hormones did not take well to it so spent most of the night freaking out. DH managed a temporary fix so we have water again but my kitchen is a wreck! x
