Due January 2019

[waitingforbubbles]

Anyone else had a positive test recently and due in January 2019? Natural cycles says I'm due 3rd Jan 😊 would be lovely to hear others in the same boat!

Currently 4+2 so really early days still.

@loopdeelou I got exactly the same feeling when the midwife told me I was too early last week. The subtext was, well I don't want to waste my time if you're going to have a miscarriage in the next however many weeks. Practical, maybe, but also pretty insensitive and because it's my first pregnancy I had no idea what I was doing and just wanted some guidance on what the next steps were 🙄.

@mumofmunchkin we are due date buddies and I also have two boys! I’m already convinced this is ds3 despite only being 4 weeks.

I’ve not bothered to call the midwife yet, here they don’t see you until around 8 weeks.

Everyone should head over to the ante-natal boards, I’ll attempt a link ....

@waitingforbubbles it's the exact same feeling I got. They didn't want to know me until I'm at least 8 weeks. I know that is logical but it's not supportive! Totally understand the NHS is really stretched so it might not be needed to see people earlier, but then it seems odd for them to ask me to see the GP and midwife around the same time 🤔. Seems like duplication to me

@isambardo ooh how exciting! how old are your boys? mine are 4.5 and 2.5. I have 2 sons and six nephews, not a girl in sight on either side of the family, so I'm clearly definitely going to have another boy

I'm the same, planning on ringing the midwife in the next couple of weeks, just want to let this sink in a bit first!

Hi all, this is my 4th pregnancy since last January, my first 3 ended in miscarriage. I have since seen a private consultant who basically told me my ovaries act old than me (im 27) therefor im at a higher risk of miscarriage etc. She put me on a small dose of asprin and told me to not wait around and TTC again. We did and now im here! got my BFP Wednesday (25th) ... of course i am so happy as this is a very much wanted baby but my previous experiences have put a big grey cloud over this one and im trying to not let myself get too happy until i at least have 1 or 2 scans!! Due date is 1st Jan i believe

I cant help but have a really good feeling about this pregnancy, I am so so nervous but i just feel like 'this is it' ... I have an early viability scan on 15th May and this pregnancy will be consultancy led so feel like this will be monitored well. BRING IT ON

I have told my DH of course, our parents and best friends ... before i had only told DH and parents but after MC i ended up braking the news to my friends after, this time i thought they can help me (as one is getting married in 2 weeks and the not drinking and 'taking it easy' would be so hard to cover up) ... and telling them has actually made me feel a little more at ease?

Is everybody on knicker watch and boob touching duties or it this just me? ... im constantly pushing my boobs to check they still hurt

I wasnt going to join a group but i saw it when i was asking for recommendations for scanning places and thought - why not :)

Congratulations to you all, and @SecretStash im not really sure what to suggest, its really not nice for you to be feeling like this at such a delicate time anyway - I can only hope that your wrong and when you tell him, he will be shocked but supportive like "shit this is not what we planned but OK lets do this". Keep my fingers crossed for you.

Wow that was a long post - sorry

Well dp was over the moon when I told him last night! He didn’t get home till 11pm so I almost fell asleep on the sofa a few times but it was worth waiting up for him. This will be baby number 2 for us as we have Ds who has just turned 4. We’ve been trying since December so I had started to worry that it wasn’t going to be so easy for us this time round.. it feels so long ago that I was pregnant with Ds it’s like a new adventure congratulations to everyone on here and hoping we all have a happy and healthy 9 months!

@LJFM2B welcome to the 01/01 club! This is my first pregnancy and yes been on knicker watch all week! There's a couple of us due on the 1st

Welcome to all the newbies!

@LJFM2B I'm due on the 1st too. Sorry to hear about the problems you've had but great that you are so positive about this one 😊

I'm really enjoying this group and the one on the antenatal board. So nice to know that others have all the same worries and questions!

@jellyfish2210 I'm taking folic acid and vitamin D, and also added Omega 3 in the other day as I don't eat fish. DH also appears with a glass of milk for me every day now as he's worried I don't get enough calcium!

LJFM2B welcome, there will be lots of us here to share worries with! It sounds like your consultant is taking it seriously which must be reassuring too. I have 2dc but 2 miscarriages last year so I can sympathise a bit at least. Will be keeping fingers crossed for you.

Mumofmunchkins my two are 5.5 and 3.5. I have loads of nieces so I guess mine could be either, but I’m already calling it Magnus. I just have an inkling!

It is really nice to have a somewhere to go and know your not the only nervous wreck who’s wishing the next few weeks away! Xx

@LJFM2B welcome to the club! So sorry to hear about your past experiences. I had a MMC and I feel it has tainted my feelings towards my pregnancy as I am so worried that something is going wrong and I'm not aware of it. Don't worry I am constantly pressing my boobs too! And they still
Hurt so must be good.
Let's hope for lots of rainbow babies in 2019!!!! 😊

Hi all,
Does anyone else feel quite uncomfortable? Every time I eat I feel in quite a bit of pain. I feel very tight on one side and the side I feel tight on changes. I sometimes feel like it hurts / feels strange to stand up completely straight? I am feeling pretty worried. I have a doctors appointment on 14th so will ask them but can anyone say if this is a normal feeling? Isn’t it a bit early to be feeling discomfort? I am googling all sorts and might be stressing for no reason. Xx

Hello, congrats to all, hoping I can join. I'm 5+4 and due on 2nd Jan according to natural cycles. I have nausea in the mornings, feels much better after I eat lunch, but then the bloat starts. I've had to extend my jeans with a bobble already. On holiday now armed w

Oops, got a bit trigger happy there! Was meant to say on hols armed with floaty dresses and bikini throw overs. I've told DH and parents, 2 friends and my boss as if anything goes wrong I'd tell those people for support. Organised my first midwife appt for when I get back but got a voicemail when we landed asking if she could put it back a week which would put me at 10 weeks as they date it based on lmp but I'm sure there are some tests you are supposed to have before 10 weeks so now I'm flapping an about that as well as boob poking and knicker checking! X

@MrsXx4 I'm super uncomfortable but I think it's the bloating. I swear I already look 6 months pregnant. My belly is so hard and I feel so nauseous. Hopefully yours isn't anything to worry about.
I have a big family event today and don't know what to wear. I don't think the buttons on my trousers or jeans will do up! I tried on a dress and even a stranger would ask if I'm pregnant with the amount my belly was sticking out. Is anyone else seriously suffering with the bloat?!

@loopdeelou thank you for replying. I am seriously bloated too although I am seriously worrying that something bad is about to happen for me. I was woken up last night with the most horrendous tummy cramps, I honestly didn't know what to do. DH is away at the moment and isn't back until tomorrow night so think it made it scarier that it was middle of the night and I was by myself! so far I have no physical signs anything has happened and the pain has subsided, it was like one almighty surge and then I managed to fall back to sleep.

I am feeling a bit tender and a little delicate but I am preparing myself for the worse now. devastated. xx

I've had to do the button thing too. We drove the 3 hours to DHs mums and I had my jeans unbottoned and and unzipped. Which was fine until we stopped for fuel and I forgot. Cue frantically trying to inconspicuously button them up while walking into the shop lol 😳😳

This is my third pregnancy (not including one mc) and so far feel absolutely fine. With my other two pregnancies I felt sick as a dog from even before my bfp and beyond exhausted straight away, but with the pregnancy I miscarried I felt fine and lost at 8 weeks. Anyone with more than one baby had varying pregnancies for sickness. As this one wasn't planned and was all a big shock, so finding it hard to get into it actually happening when in the back of my mind with no symptoms I think it won't end well.

Hi all, tentatively joining you. EDD is Jan 12th. I had an MMC in January after a year of trying. We hadn't been trying since, but I started to get dizzy a couple of days ago and immediately did a test. I had sore boobs yesterday but not today, so I'm trying not to think it's a bad sign.

Hia all,
Think I am very very early. Taken 5 pregnancy tests all positive and AF due in two days...calculated due date is 17th Jan...am I getting ahead of myself? Have had to tell family as they'll be asking why I'm not drinking. We're all a bit nervous about believing it but other people's reactions have kind of made me step back a bit :/ x

@helloworld88 congratulations! Its very hard not to get ahead of ourselves though, I feel the same although we haven't told anyone yet. What have the reactions been like? xx

Ack, 2 boards going for January already 😂

I'm due about the 11th I think, with my second :)

Jumping on cautiously. I got a bfp wity a FRER yesterday. AF isn't due till Mon/Tues. I'm kind of regretting testing before AF is due as I'm just worrying the bfp will disappear and the test was wrong.
