Due December 2021! Thread 2

Continue the BFP's!!

@tuesday2am

I’ve got my viability scan tonight at 7:15pm. I’m a bag of nerves! I’ve been spotting on and off (brown blood) pretty much since I found out I was pregnant, but yesterday at 6+1 it got a little pinker and freaked me out a bit. It’s gone back to brown now and hardly anything at all but I’ll feel much more relieved if tonight’s scan goes well. I just hope it’s not too early to see anything.

Good luck at your scan 😊

Good luck @tuesday2am!

@tuesday2am Good luck!

I've woken up this morning with a sick feeling but I think it's my anxiety so I'm so confused! Got a bit of a headache too and slight niggles in my belly! I am extremely tired too but I can't tell if it's symptoms or my anxiety I'm driving myself crazy again!! A couple of times when I've went to the loo it's not so much spotting but I suppose when I wipe it has tiny little specs of brown bits like discharge. Ahhhh x

Hi! Tentatively joining with an EDD of 29th December, so only 4 weeks gone.

I'm from Belfast and have a little boy who's 2 in June. I had HG and GD with him and the pregnancy was pretty horrendous to be honest. I threw up last Thursday when it was too early to even test and assumed it meant my period was coming as that's been the norm since having HG last time but no sign of AF and 7 (🙈) positive pregnancy tests says otherwise!

I'm so nervous this time round, I think I was happily naïve last time even though I worried then too. So far my symptoms are mild nausea, a few throwing up sessions, mild cramps, some boob tenderness, tired as hell and a bit of trapped wind (which absolutely killed me from week 4-5 last time 😬)

If you're suffering with nausea and vomiting please don't hesitate in asking your GP for some anti sickness meds! I had no idea about them last time so didn't get any until after 8 weeks but my GP prescribed some as soon as I got a BFP this time.

@wannabemum38 I'm so so sorry. I hope you can get some comfort from your mum now that you have told her. Take good care of yourself 💐

Hi @Sperr!! How are you doing? I am so envious that you'll be 7 weeks already tomorrow! How?! I'm only 5+3 today! Oof symptoms sound tough. But also they are quite reassuring. I've had none really, minus the occasional mild nausea and sensitive nips.

Welcome to the other new girls here. Creeping up to the 31 December mark now!! Christmas/NY babies! Eeks.

@tuesday2am ahh good luck! I hope it all goes well. I have had some brown spotting too, which google tells me is entirely normal! Let us know how you get on x

I've lost 0.2kg in a week and not enough nausea to affect my diet yet. It's because I burn a lot of calories in a day (3500ish). I used to eat a fair bit in the evenings, but I'm going to bed so early I'm not eating after dinner anymore 🤦‍♀️ bit concerning!

I mean it's easy to unintentionally lose weight this time of year and that's ok usually, but not now! Guess I gotta find more snacks or calorie foods. Tho having said that, the nausea is slowly creeping up on me, 6+1 today

Can't believe I only found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago today, feels a lifetime ago already!

I'm on an admin day today whilst van getting some bits done. So hungry, decided walking to the local shop to buy a pizza 😅

@Nellieee hey! I didn’t test until I was over 5 weeks because I didn’t want to see a BFN 😂. I was 10 days late i think by the time I finally did it. My symptoms only really came this week. I kept googling is it possible to have no symptoms during the 5-6 week wait and now they’ve caught up with me. Have you spoken to a midwife yet? I have my booking appointment next week!!

@Mammytinx Hi i'm also due baby number 3 on 8th Dec I'm worried too... I suffered a MMC in January so have that playing on my mind constantly. Got my booking appointment tomorrow then getting bloods taken next week. Hows your pregnancy going xx

Hello ladies ❤️ I had an early NHS scan today after a complicated miscarriage. I feel pregnant straight after so it’s difficult to date but think just over the 5 week mark. On the scan all they could see was the gestational sac and no yolk sac (yet), on some other threads I’ve read people say they have seen the heartbeat at this stage, so obviously freaking!!! Any other experiences of us due in December with early scans?xx

@Mosshead348 hey! I had an early scan at 5w5d due to bleeding and then found a ges sac and a yolk sac but no fetal pole. they seemed to think this was really normal and didn't seem concerned. I've been so anxious about it but I think people who have heartbeats at 5 weeks are ridiculously lucky or maybe have their dates wrong as it seems far too early. What I keep telling myself anyways 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@TTCbabyH thank you for your reply! And massive congrats on seeing both ges and yolk sac, that must have been so reassuring especially after bleeding. I’ve also had a bit of brown discharge so doesn’t help the worry. Was your yolk sac really clear? We saw the tiniest glimpse of something white which the radiographer said could be it but didn’t want to say too much.xx

@Sperr ahh I so wish I had held of testing as this wait is taking forever!! I actually thought I had come on a day or two my bfp as well (v mild spotting), but because it didn't arrive full flow I took an impulsive test. The wait is LONG!

Exciting re your midwife appt!! Have you got loads of questions? I have mine booked for 10 May. Can't come quick enough! Don't like to wish my life away but 😬

I did a self referral to the midwife online but haven't heard anything yet.. I'm so impatient to get a booking in appt sorted. Do you think I should ring the GP too?

I also got a dye stealer on a FRER today at 21dpo but only getting 2-3 weeks on CB digi. When did you all get your 3+ weeks? I thought a dye stealer meant high hcg levels or does it not mean anything?

Hello everyone 👋
Hoping I can join your thread! I'm 30, from Ireland and 5 weeks pregnant with first baby. EDD is 21st December so will have a Christmas baby!! Excited but very nervous as know first trimester is the most risky.

good luck @tuesday2am.

Wow @Sperr I don't think I could have held off. I am only 5w 1, due 21st Dec but my last 2 labours didn't get to 38 weeks so expecting first week of December. also it is def possible to have barely any symptoms, I am tired, boobs come and go full, and occasional sickness feelings. I didn't have massive symptoms with both my Ds's. I bet I am having another boy.

Hi @Cuddles21 you are same due date as me :) welcome

@Emmgrem I wouldn't worry too much, as the HCG sometimes doesn't show 3+ on the clearblue tests, so I have heard.

Hi @MushroomQueen - cool to have someone else with same due date!!
My only symptoms so far are really sore boobs and some acne on my back. I don't think I'm any more tired than usual. I'm kind of worried about my lack of symptoms to be honest!+

God! I'm feeling so yucky today 🤮 I've been pretty lucky with little to no symptoms so far but nausea isn't shifting today. I've got an early scan at 8wk+3 on Monday. I've been so anxious, I haven't contacted the midwife but will do if all goes well at the scan. EDD 5/12/21.

@Mosshead348 no the sonographer was trying to show me and I couldn't make out what she was saying so I just agreed that I'd seen it in the end!! I had brown discharge for quite a few days and a day of pink but nothing else since so just getting keep my fingers and toes crossed. I think if you're just over 5 weeks it sounds like it's quite in-line with where I was at! My dates are exact as I'm IVF! X

@Emmgrem I got 3+ on exactly 5 weeks pregnant but then my FRER never early went as dark as yours!! Mine have gone darker than the control line but not by loads

@Emmgrem nah I had to fill a form in and alert midwives of pregnancy. I finally got a letter two and a half weeks later!
Got my midwife appointment tomorrow night over the phone.
