December 2020 babies

[savethewales]

Hi all,

I'm jumping the gun a little with this as I'm pregnant and found out earlier than a missed period (it's 3 days away)

I had a miscarriage at the start of February so I'm terrified, but trying to be optimistic all will be okay. My lines are getting darker, which they didn't do last time.

Anyone else due in December?

@mrsc2018 ahhh what a lovely photo, it's so exciting when you see the word isn't it! Such lovely news and hopefully the days/weeks go quickly until your early scan! Very pleased for you!!

@marlibs3 ok fab thank you! I found the number online so I will maybe give them a ring! My GP asked a few questions to refer me but they're so busy with everything else at the moment I though I might check! How exciting to have your appointments already!!

This may be a silly question but I've seen lots of you doing multiple tests, I did one on the 23rd and one on the 24th, both positive. I haven't done one since...should I be doing more??

@Clemmie83 I did two on the 19th and two on the 20th and none since then so dw! :)

though also curious to know if there's a reason to do more?

@Beccarans89 thank you! yes v exciting :D let us know how you get on with chasing your appointments, I'm sure they'll be on their way through the system :)

Hi

Personally, I've been doing more tests due to miscarrying and my lines never getting any darker.
It's more for peace of mind that I've done it but each to their own xx

@Mctm123 congratulations to you too, my embryos were from a frozen too only little PN's so really didn't expect anything as 3 previous D5's and 2 D3's have all failed so this has taken me by surprise! Happy birthday for Monday too, what a wonderful birthday present. When's your scan, were you told to come alone or are you assuming? Do you have the mindful IVF app, it's a lifeline to me - I did the positive test one yesterday which helped me to calm down and just accept that for today at least, I'm pregnant.

@Clemmie83 I won't be doing any more tests because I'm terrified of them and it wouldn't bring me any peace of mind, but each to their own ❤️

@Beccarans89 thanks, I think I'll do something similar and just call up at 6 weeks and see what they say. Ideally I don't want to do anything before the scan (IVF pregnancies are more likely to miscarry or be in the wrong place so we have an early scan). I'll see how I feel next week.

@MrsC2018 oh it’s a lovely surprise for you then an I think if it’s meant to be it’s meant to be isn’t it! Thank you - it will be a strange birthday in isolation but as long as this pregnancy is progressing well that’s all I want!! I’ve got my ivf scan on the 14th April and my booking in scan on the 20th April. The hospital my ivf scan is in says on their website all clinics are patients only but they haven’t verbally stated that to me but I’m presuming it’s the case and when I booked in to the hospital I plan to have the baby in they said to attend alone. I downloaded that app but I haven’t used it I’ll have to have a look. In the run up to my treatment though, I was having acupuncture and counselling so I was pretty calm but all that has been cancelled now so it’s brought on my anxiety a little. Probably just with everything else going on in the world but my lack of symptoms is making
me question whether this one is viable! As you say though, for every day we stay pregnant that’s a positive isn’t it x

Congrats to all with their BFPs!!

I called the hospital yesterday, my GP just passed me their number as the docs surgery are now closed!!

Had to fill in a form and then will hear from them in the next 14 days with a booking appointment. Whether that will be on the phone or in person who knows!!

Still no real symptoms, besides peeing a lot and I did feel a little breathless yesterday.
Also keep waking up really hot in the middle of the night and then I'm awake for ages but that might just be worrying about the current state of the world!

I've only tested on Tuesday with cheapies and Wednesday with clear blue digital, I've got one digital left so might use that next week to hopefully see a 3 weeks +

Hope you are all ok x x

Hi ladies, I'm also tentatively joining with a due date of around the 2nd December the same as @MrsC2018 , just before my birthday. We sadly lost our son neonatally in August of last year so this is a very anxious time for us, especially with what's happening out in the world at the moment. Sorry to all of those who are feeling the pressure too, it's daunting thinking about having to wait until 12 weeks to find out, but nonetheless a huge congratulations to all of us!x

Hi, hope it’s ok to join too, I am due 1st December. Stuck at home currently which actually feels worse as more time to worry. Keep getting cramps which apparently is normal but it’s still freaking me out. This is my first. So wanted but so anxious. I tried to see if I could book an early scan for 8 weeks but everywhere is closed. Scary times. Hoping we can all support each other.

@AnnieCa34 Welcome! :) I'm in the exact same boat Annie, it's so frustrating not to be able to get an early scan. Working from home means you've got endless time to think things over and google every single symptom which isn't helping me! Trying to focus on the positives and finding supportive people like the ones in this group 🤗

Big love to you @lionsmum and lots of
Welcome and best wishes for a peaceful pregnancy.

It’s awful I’m not even working from home I am a nanny and they have told me to stay off during lock down which is good but endless time to think. Plus when I go back will prob be in the middle of morning sickness etc and be trying to hide it from them all as I don’t want to tell them yet! Yeh I am hoping having other people to talk to on here will help. We are all in this situation and hopefully can support each other.

@Whiffle77 thank you so much! wishing you all the best too x

How's everyone feeling this morning? 4+1 for me today and still no symptoms. Anything would be nice at this point so it feels real. I'm trying to stay up to date with corona to see when they predict the peak and when it will start coming down. Praying dh will be allowed in first scan, it's still some way yet so staying hopeful

Morning @tessacoin1 how are you today? Not feeling too bad! I'm 5 weeks today so that's been a nice morning reading about the changes, although still scary. I feel the same, hopefully things change in the next few weeks and they can come to scans! I haven't had too many symptoms, just sore boobs and tiredness, but expecting to get more in the next week or so!

Morning all, I'm 4+5 today, been feeling tired and a little sick, not sure if that's partly due to all the stress in the world right now! I had stabbing pains in my side last night and got really worried, hopefully there's nothing wrong...

4+1 today and absolutely shattered! Woken up the last few mornings feeling hungover, so tired. Work is crazy though so I'm glad to be chilling today.
I've been reading lots too about the virus, it's an unnerving time to be pregnant, keep panicking about not seeing anyone for the whole pregnancy. But way too soon to be thinking like that, things will change lots over the next few months
Think its normal to have some pains @Clemmie83 there is a lot going on in there!

@Whiffle77 Completely agree with the waking up feeling hungover! Feels like I've had a big night out this morning!

@clemmie83 I had exactly the same last night, got a few pains and was worrying but seems like it's fairly normal, there's definitely a lot of changes happening so it's probably all that!

Morning all, I am 4+4 today and feel a lot better than yday. Has awful pain most of yday period type pain. So far today stomach is all rumbly but no pain. Worried like others about a scan and partner not being allowed in. Guess wait and see. So tired today. I just hate not knowing what’s going on inside me, how do we know they are doing ok and growing ok. 12 weeks so so long to wait for a scan continually worry that I will go for the scan and find nothing there. Just can’t get rid of the anxious feeling but im guessing a lot feel this way? It’s such scary time and the Virus makes it worse!!

@AnnieCa34 @Beccarans89 It's so worrying isn't it, not knowing what pains are normal and what you should be more concerned about! I find myself looking up every symptom online for reassurance! I'm also really sad about my husband potentially not being allowed at the 12 week scan. Really hoping that changes but not too hopeful...

@Clemmie83 yep I seem to spend a lot of tome online googling my symptoms which I’m not sure makes things better! It’s like how much pain is normal but no one can describe that. I so want my other half to be able to come to the scan it’s our first and makes me sad he wouldn’t be able to see but also if something is wrong not having his support there. Why I wanted an early scan but everywhere that does those is closed!

@AnnieCa34 Completely understand about the scan, it's our first too and I just feel so sorry for my husband missing out but also really worried about being alone if I get bad news!

It is so hard to know what's going to happen isn't it, will be gutted is partners/husband's can't come. Such a massive part of the whole journey, but there's time for it to change. Do you guys have a 'Window to the womb' private scanning place near them? I spoke with them yesterday and they are still doing private scans and you can take someone with you so I'm hoping to have one in 2/3 weeks but things may change again! Fingers crossed xx
