November 2020 Babies?

[Elley2912]

Anyone?

@acatcalledlola I was very nervous to do a digital too but I'm now I'm so glad I did! It's definitely made it sink in a bit more now! Xx

@Mlou32 where I am the doctor refers you to the local midwife team. They just ask which hospital you want to go to. I have the choice of 4 which are all a similar distance. It’s worth doing some research on the facilities and other people’s experiences first. I’m seeing my dr tomorrow at 5+2.

@Mc3209 that's very normal. It's just your hormones changing. I am the same. I was feeling sick and crampy most of last week, and now I pretty much feel normal. I was the exact same on my last pregnancy. Try not to panic.

It's amazing that there are so many people expecting number 2 or more! I am currently wondering why we signed up to do this again, and there are people going for number 3!

@CyclingMumKingston I ran and went to the gym during my first pregnancy. I managed a 10k at 16 weeks, and was doing spin class till I was too big to fit on the bike. The advice I followed last time was too keep my heart rate under 170bpm (otherwise you might deprive baby of oxygen) and listen to my body.

@CyclingMumKingston I am also a runner but have stopped because it’s a high risk pregnancy. I will carry on doing low impact home workouts with light weights though. Need to hide the pregnancy as long as possible because of the risks and I have a tendency to gain a lot of weight!

@uisage there was a point after our second that we were both adamant we wouldn't have any more children. Then the broodiness kicked in! DH says we have to stop at 3 though

@uisage lol there’s no way I’m having more than 2. After I give my only child a sibling, I’m done! I’ve never felt broody before...more like having children is something that has to be done

Hi everyone...first of all congratulations to all the mums to be in Nov. I got my BFP yesterday 7th March and I am due 11th Nov. Over the moon, filled with so much happiness and joy...we are pregnant yay We are first time parents please help lol. First thing tomorrow I will be contacting my GP. Is there anything else I need to do?

@firsttimemumfeb congratulations!
Make sure you're taking folic acid if you've not started already! But otherwise, not much happens in the first few weeks! I find getting an app that shows development quite helpful and interesting.

My symptoms are also sporadic except for exhaustion which is constant 😞 I’m 5 +2 so still early days and the lack of symptom consistency makes me anxious. Also - My FR tests seem to indicate that my hcg levels are kinda low as the line is not as dark as I would have thought at this stage. It’s about 50% as dark as the control line. Does anyone know if this is ok? Xx

@ACatCalledLola @CyclingMumKingston
Runner here too but im terrified of going out, havent been out since a few days before implantation bleeding out of fear. I may wait till ive had reassurance from an early scan.

Hi all. Congratulations on the BPFs! Can I please tentatively join? I'm 5+4 and due on 4 November with my first baby. I had a MMC 2 years ago at 9+5 and so am terrified that this won't stick either. I'm really struggling to get excited as I don't want to get my hopes up. I've got intermittent symptoms which I guess is a good sign and am generally pretty exhausted - I think I'll need to tell my boss otherwise he might think I'm slacking... We're toying with going for an early scan but I lost the baby after the scan last time so it's not very reassuring. X

@Sakura54 the only reason why we are going for number 2 is that I don't want an only. Dreading the next year, I hated being pregnant and having a newborn. I've just started to feel like myself again and I'm throwing another hand grenade into my life.

@firsttimemumfeb Congrats! If you haven't already , check what you can ans can't eat. Plus anything you use on a daily basis - I use olbas oil to help me sleep, it took until about week 8 last time to check and figure out it was what was causing me to have cramps! I would also recommend Expecting Better by Emily Ostler as a read - it explains why you can't do things and gives you the stats on them so you can make your own decisions.

@mOmshanti that's my test this morning at 4+6. Still not as dark as the control line. I don't have that many symptoms and they come and go. So long as you don't have pain or bleeding, you're probably fine. It's natural to worry, I was a nervous wreck in the first trimester last time. I'm hoping this time will be better.

@SqidgeBum thank you for reassurance, I was having a wobble there. Feeling better now.

Hello!! I just found im pregnant will be my second child 😊 not sure on due date est 12th-15th November 2020.

@kirstb89 congrats! Same kind of date as me I think, first time for us though. How are you finding it second time round?

@eleanorsos hi hun congratulations , apart from sore boobs and dizziness I didn't have many symptoms it was a huge shock as we've been ttc for 6 years 😳 xx

Wow that must be such a relief for you then! Wishing you both a nice easy pregnancy, once you're over the shock!!

@kirstb89 ahh that's amazing! Congratulations!

@eleanorsos Thank you! How is yours going what made you test? Definitely is.xx

@NoseringGirl Thank you hun. Xx

Congrats to the new joiners.

We've spent the day house hunting, we were half looking anyway but dc3 means we'll need a new car and house. Game changer!

We were looking for both anyway but were undecided about baby 3. Not anymore! 😂

We're still in a complete state of shock! I wish I could tell people irl. But want to tell the kids first and can't tell them until we knows it's all okay.

Is anyone considering harmony testing?

I've never done nt test because it's a probability and wouldn't have changed my approach and I would have just worried about it. But I'm wondering about harmony.

We’re considering Harmony testing this time, but only really because I’m 40 now.

@kirstb89 Well we weren't really 'trying' as such and were trying to be relaxed about it before TTC properly in a few months... But after a few days of feeling tired and nauseous and thinking it was just a bug or something, I thought I'd better rule out pregnancy - and here we are haha! We are both totally shocked but really excited and getting over it slowly

@Tonicandgin good luck with the house hunt! We are halfway through buying our first place and really hoping it goes through now there's a little added time pressure...
