Due December 2021 thread!

[Tabbycat92]

I'm probably one of the first to find out, as there are no other chats! Based off of last period I'm due December 2nd! Got my first positive early at 9dpo.
Anyone else with me yet???

Congratulations to everyone that is new here 🥰

@CCG92 that's so exciting that you heard your little ones heartbeat! That must have been such a special moment.

@RockyisMYRhino I'm so sorry to hear of what you are going through. Sending you so much love and hope you get your BFP again really soon 💕

@FinnsMammy I'm really into my fitness. I did a lot of weights etc before but I'm a little scared. I've been looking to buy Hannah Obergs pregnancy plan I think.

@sarby21 they are looking good. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you.

@queenatom that was me yesterday! Yesterday was my first day with 0 caffeine at all as well!! I had a much better sleep last night though and I feel like a new woman today.

So sorry @RockyisMYRhino sending lots of love xx

@Janxyb I feel a bit the same in terms of thinking something will go wrong but just trying to relax. My scan is a week on Friday and can't come soon enough!

@WelshLass24 congrats and welcome!

@CCG92 glad the hen do went ok!! Did anyone smell a rat?!?!

I did a FRER this morning. First one since Wednesday I think. I got a dye stealer! Came up straight away, so happy!!

Gorgeous line @lucea87!

I really need to do some exercise, haven’t done anything more strenuous than walking since my first positive. Booked in for a swim tomorrow (first day the outdoor pool is open again!) so might put my running kit on and do a light interval run instead of walking over.

Thanks @lucea87 I’ll check this out I worked out with a pregnancy PT all through my last pregnancy and walked to work everyday ! I lost all the baby weight within about 6 weeks due to this and never really lost my muscle tone either so hoping to do the same again this pregnancy just harder to be motivated with the gyms closed 🙈

Can I join? I recognise some user names from the tww thead in conception. I am currently 12 dpo due early December 2021.

I am finding it so difficult to believe and am so worried it will turn into a chemical or somehow just not be real!! So I have continued testing every morning as seeing a nice pink line helps me feel better knowing it's still there. How often/long is everyone continuing to test after getting a clear bfp?

Welcome @dungareesandfreckles - what the hell do you do you next! 🤣 Just what I felt like, it was like erm now what?!

@lucea87 - how strange, but how lovely!! Must have been meant to be! 🥰 How many weeks will you be for you first scan?

@finnsmammy I would also be interested re the fitness classes! I had really got in to going to the gym after the first lockdown, but as things have been open/shut all the time the fitness I did get has probably been lost and I'm not sure what I should/shouldn't be doing when gyms re opens!

@ccg92 oh wow! That's amazing, what a lovely moment! Well done on pulling off the hen do!! 🤣 When we are able start going out with 6 people to beer gardens for food people are going to be so suspicious that after all this time locked up I don't have a gin in my hand! Not sure how I am going to pull that off!!

@tabbycat92 I have never done yoga, would be really interested in getting started in pregnancy yoga!

@RockyisMYrhino so sorry to hear that, hope you are OK ❤

@welshlass24 is it common to get a blood test to confirm? First timer over here so all new to me but I was just under the impression that we have no contact with doctors/midwifes etc until booking in but even then I think it could be over the phone? 🤔 I was also like you came of microgynon on 25th Jan! So it's been very quick!!

@FinnsMammy that's what I would like to do to be honest, but I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself. I think I need to see the midwife and have my scan before I can relax but might do body weight stuff between now and then. I do walk a lot with our dog though. We've got a 6 month old lab!

@Whatshouldicallme the line I've shared this morning is 18DPO for me, I tested every day until Thursday because I can't relax but now I've just got 3 CB Digi's left so I can see 2-3, 3-4 and 4+ which I'm gonna do on Thursday then I'm done. I am a POAS addict.

@Neom87 I'll be 6+2 xxx

Question for everyone in the group!

What are your early symptoms? I don’t really have any apart from cramps, which is worrying me slightly. I also have sore boobs but I’ve had sore boobs since 2DPO, which I totally can’t explain!

I tested this morning and my faint line has turned into a real full line, so that’s keeping me sane!

❤️

Welcome to the newbies! Lovely to have so many of us all going through it together. I'm really struggling with how to keep fit, I'm walking as much as I can, and know it's irrational but I'm worried jogging or anything strenuous will somehow detach it 🙈

@Dungareesandfreckles boob ache and lower stomach period-like cramps and lots of bloating. In te last two days I've also added cricked neck and sore throat to the list, plus mild nausea first thing or if I've not eaten for a while. How far are you? I'm 20dpo now, 5 weeks and 1 day today ❤

Glad you enjoy your hen do @CCG92! Sounds like you had a laugh and now you get to look forward to the big day and also sharing those very cute booties 😍

@Neom87 I had a prenatal pt for my last pregnancy so I know what I should be doing and what I should avoid I still need the online classes for motivation now that I can’t have a PT. If your going to do some bits on your own before joining pregnancy classes just avoid the following any jumping , skipping , pulling on your abdomen, avoid all core exercises, don’t lie on your back for too long after 4 months, don’t do anything that involves your hands over your head as this can cause dizziness. Don’t take up anything new if you haven’t done it before example if you never ran before now is not a good time t take it up. I was a runner so I ran until I was 30 weeks pregnant. However I haven’t ran since Xmas this year so I won’t be taking it up again!

Do however do a lot of squats, lunges, side planks, pelvic floor exercises. Also if you can get a ply box this is great for doing step ups and push ups on. Do lots of pelvic floor exercises.

Obviously I’m not an pregnancy pt lol but this is just what I learned from my PT.

I just need the motivation to actually get up and do it lol!

@Dungareesandfreckles I've had sore boobs since 2DPO as well. I've also had cramps too. They come and go but there was a couple of days last week I was a bit worried. I've done lots of googling though and apparently it's common to have cramps right through the first trimester and nothing to worry about. I've also felt sick since about 5DPO. Some days I'm almost sick. Today isn't so bad though so I think a proper sleep last night has helped me!

@Neom87 I phoned the Dr after my BFP and she said as it's early days, I could get a blood test as a 2nd opinion a little later in the week- so I did (might aswell!)

I'm getting abit worried about my cramps- I do have IBS and endometriosis and I think they're IBS cramps but they're so alike- it is a worrying time!! I think I'm going to start some yoga today to see if that helps

@lucea87 that’s re-assuring! It sounds like a lot of us has cramps, so I’m not going to worry too much just yet. I don’t feel sick at all yet... is a weird that I’m hoping for a bit of nausea just to feel a bit more pregnant 😂

@Arthien I am only 11DPO, but got a positive test at 8/9DPO. At the moment, I feel like it’s all pretending, as it’s my first pregnancy. But I guess if there’s a line, there’s something happening! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Arrierttyclock I might do some yoga today. I used a hot water bottle for my cramps yesterday evening, and it eased the cramps so much!

@Dungareesandfreckles I’m 20DPO and haven’t had many symptoms at all! I’m extremely thirsty all the time and have had some period like cramps on and off but nothing too painful. My boobs feel fuller and heavier but are not sore! I’ve had some breakouts as well but no nausea or morning sickness at all yet! I know it’s worrying and feels strange but every pregnancy is different so it doesn’t mean ours is any less healthy without more pronounced symptoms!

@PlantMummy87 so special! 🥰

@lucea87 nope!! I nailed it 🤣 Strawberry yazoo for the tequila rose, water for the vodka shots, and lemonade for the vodka lemonade 👍🏼🤣 It was such a fun night that it was quite easy to act like I was getting boozy thankfully!

@Whatshouldicallme welcome and congratulations! 🥳 I tested with a FRER and digi. Then waited a whole week and did the same again to see the progression. Other than that I haven't test as I'd drive myself mad! xx

@Neom87 yeah it will be hard as everyone's going to be wanting to drink. Maybe have a quiet word with the waitress 🤣

@Dungareesandfreckles I had cramping and lots of feeling light headed at 3/4 weeks. I have sore boobs, but other than that I'm feeling pretty normal right now other than a bit of dry gagging (I'm 5+2). Just trying to enjoy it as I'm sure it won't stay like this! Exciting for you seeing your line progression 🥰

@Arthien I can't wait for the booties!! 🥰

@FinnsMammy that made me feel tired out just reading that 🤣🤣 Well done you!

@RockyisMYRhino so sorry ❤️ Sending you a huge hug. Make sure you treat yourself - you deserve it xxx

@CCG92 I’m excited to hear about your wedding. We went for it with our Covid wedding in December (postponed from May) and whilst I was sad not to have a hen party or a honeymoon, I’m so glad we did it! We wouldn’t have our baby coming now if we had waited for the big wedding! You’ll have an amazing day. Hopefully you can have a meal? We weren’t allowed one due to being in tier 3 restrictions but it was still amazing.

@FinnsMammy aaah haha I’m scared of this, esp being in school and dealing with 30 kids! I just feel not on the ball, like that dazed feeling when you’ve had a drink. Does anyone else have a cold? I’ve got a super sore throat. Also I cried for 10 mins this morning because I stepped on my husbands toe by accident and was scared I’d hurt him 😂😂 can laugh now but I was devastated at the time ha!

Has anyone got their booking appointment yet (that’s what you call it isn’t it?!)? I’m going to ring the docs in the morning. Will make it seem super real! Eeek.

Xxx

Due December 5th or the 7th (my apps can't make their minds up on how far I am 😂) Congratulations girlies!!!

Is anyone else peeing every 15 mins? 🙋‍♀️ Getting on my absolute nerves 😂🙈

@MrsGee20 we had a massive wedding planned for June 2021. 150 during the day and another 100 at night. Obviously there was no way we thought that would go ahead so we cancelled it all. Changed it to May 2021 and only 12 of us. Parents, siblings/partners and the two nephews. A small, intimate and very chilled out wedding. A big country house in the middle of nowhere, and our meal is a wedding bbq/hog roast company as no one will do a sit down meal. Actually fits in well with the theme/relaxed wedding. Luckily it is in the middle of nowhere with no staff, as it means we are able to have alcohol and no 8pm curfew 👍🏼

We're going to tell our family on the wedding day about baby as I'll be 10 weeks and have an early scanned booked the week before. Going to get the photographer/videographer to catch it all too so that we have photos/video of them finding out 🥰

We were meant to be jetting off to Mauritius and Dubai a couple of days after the wedding. So when that got cancelled we decided we would just start TTC as there was no point in waiting anymore.

What was your Covid wedding like? 🥰

@ShivWesker congratulations and welcome! 🥳

@WelshLass24 I'm actually not noticing an increase in toileting yet 🤞🏼 Poor you 🤣

Oh no @RockyisMYRhino I'm so sorry to hear that 😔

@Janxyb I know exactly how you feel. Also no.2 here but really doesn't feel real! I often forget!

@WelshLass24 congratulations! I was the same with my 1st, caught the first month off the pill!

Welcome @Whatshouldicallme and congratulations! I think testing is the only way to stay sane in the early days! When you don't have a bump to convince yourself you're pregnant the lines are all we have! Test for a song as you feel happy 😊

@Dungareesandfreckles you might not get any sickness, I didn't get anything at all when pregnant with my son. Not even a little nausea

@MrsGee20 ive rang up for mine but nothing booked yet!

Welcome @ShivWesker and congratulations
