Christmas babies

[ArjaD]

Hey all, just got my bfp which puts me on course for a Christmas baby! According to my calendar it will be around 27th Dec but we'll get a better idea once we get the 12 week scan. I've already got a handsome 2 year old boy. ♥️Anyone else due à Christmas baby or fancy some pregnancy chat?

Ty so much @ArjaD I'll certainly be ordering some of these.

@djmbaker I've got plenty of leggings etc which are comfortable at the min but I end up overly warm as the sunshine has decided to come out for lockdown x

That’s my due date too! Congratulations and welcome!

@Bigcheesey welcome and congratulations.

@ArjaD thank you for developing this thread. Its immense how its brought a group of strangers together with something in common. I'm so excited to go through each and every one of your journeys.

@Nic2908 oh no probs, so great to see how many of us are due around the same time, and how those of us who have had babies before can help with any worries! If anything this should keep the edge off anyways during lockdown and after!

@J6J6 I think I'm just gonna wait and see what the midwife says, I'm seeing her 2 weeks tomorrow at my gp surgery for my booking in.

I don't know how I'm gonna cope if/when my boobs get fuller and sore as I haven't worn a bra for about 7 years as my boobs are quite small and have never needed to! Haha find them so uncomfortable.

I love having you girls to talk to, I had to tell my boss on the phone today as he was asking if I was willing to to into work and I was like well no... Because... Haha. I won't be telling my mum my boss found out first 🤣

All this talk of twins is making me so paranoid, twins are a running theme in mine and my partners families. I'd be happy either way but it makes me so anxious.

I'm so tempted to tell my son about becoming a big brother but I'm trying my hardest to hang on for the 12 weeks scan. It's just so challenging as he's noticing changes in my appetite and that I'm tired more etc and he's asked why I'm taking tablets in the morning (when he's caught me taking them) they don't miss a trick. He scared I have Covid. I've fibbed and said I have head ache or I'm taking them for hay fever. I'll just be so much happier when I don't have to tell him little white lies anymore

@Katbaby haha well there are a lot of comfy bras out there, just make sure to get non wired ones during pregnancy as the ones with wires can dig in and that's not good for the glands that will produce milk. I used to get away with not wearing a bra, then I had a child and it was all heading south after that 😂😂😂

Hahaa @ArjaD guess I'll just have to get used to it 😬

Welcome @Bigcheesey!

I agree with @Nic2908 Im so glad we all have each other to lean on in this thread!

@Katbaby haha I am the exact same!!! It feels so weird for me to even have sore boobs.. I don't even notice them normally!! I never wear a bra as you can't see them anyway.. going to be weird when they grow! 😂

@ArjaD thanks for the bra link! My first maternity purchase! 👍🏼

Please send help I'm addicted to POAS, when will I stop and just believe it 🤣🤣

Also based on the clarity of those lines, just for fun could anyone guess how far along I am? I have no idea would be interesting to guess

@djmbaker I kind of wish I had sore boobs. Just doesn't feel real yet really

@katbaby will you still be testing in labour 🤣? I think you might be pregnant looking at those tests... you are probs about 5 weeks

@Katbaby
Your pic looks like my dining room table at the moment. Mine are very similar in terms of how faint or dark the lines are on each day. Yesterday I didn't the digital test with the week indicator which reads 1-2 weeks, I believe this makes me about 5 weeks pregnant. Our tests look identical so you may be at the 5 week mark too. Congratulations. I don't have any others symptoms either x

Hey guys!! I'm due 25th dec! Crazy to think there will be a Christmas baby in our house. I have a 5 year old and an 2 year old both boys.. house will be madness! Also can I ask a question.. I have never found out this early with my pregnancies before but have you girls have any symptoms? I have the odd little pain in my sides but nothing else yet. Xx

@Katbaby well your definitely pregnant !! 😂 looks like mine... so I'd say we are similar.. however as I've said my periods are irregular so I'm not 💯 sure either! So I'm no help sorry ❤️

@emmaDobs52 welcome. Some of us seem to have symptoms, others don't. Mine are fatigue, gas and my left boob is now beginning to get sore.

Oh well that's another one actually, the gas! 🙈😂 my husband is going to put me out of the house 😂 x

@DontStandSoClose probably until a babies head is hanging out of me 🤣🤣🤣

@leannewithadash that would make sense as I found out friday but was super faint, and then I had the spotting Thursday - Saturday which could have been what would have been my period.. If I was to say that then I would be around 4+6?

@EmmaDobs92 hi! I was feeling really rotten and sickly yesterday but I do feel better today, few pains and a little bloated. Also took the dog on a walk and there's a small hill at the park which I felt tired on which i never would not pregnant as I'm actually quite physically fit haha so I'm waiting on proper symptoms to kick in

@djmbaker guess we shall wait and see! Very much a waiting game isn't it. I've only known 5 days feel like I've known forever 🤣

Today is the first day that I’ve felt really bad with nausea. I had a lie down in my lunch break and just ate plain crisps, Ritz crackers and a bread roll.

Have told DH off for eating “my” crisps cos it’s the only thing I can think about eating right now!

6+4 today - yesterday I was getting cocky about how I feel good so far

@emmaDobs52 hahaha yup. My hubby is coming home next week and I've already warned him I'm pumping like him now 😂😂

My boobs are so sore and so so heavy, wearing a bra gives me the support they need to feel comfy... however my boons are bazookas so I'm not looking forward to them growing at all (they will be touching my toes!!) I'm constipated too, anyone have this?? I read it's because your gut has slowed down to absorb more nutrients or something.

@katbaby I've poas about 12 times and that's not exadurating. Why dont your get a clear blue weeks one and see what it says??

@Katbaby oh yes that sounds like a good plan, not too long to wait!
