Due 1st Jan 2022

[Cloclo88]

Hey

So I’m probably one of the First Ladies on here to be due in 2022! My due date is Jan 1st 2022 - New Year’s Day.

I am actually not due on AF until this Thursday coming but have had strong positives for the last 2 days so keeping everything crossed!

Is there any other 2022 mums yet?

@Missingcoffee22

The last time is was pregnant was 7 years ago. Feels like longer though! Hopefully I'll here not long after my appointments then.
Thank you x

I had mild nausea in my last pregnancy and I wore sickness bands and nibbled ginger biscuits

My GP said I’ll hear from midwife at 8/9 weeks. Last time I think after I’d seen midwife I then got a scan letter with a date on

Tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks with my DS. I’ve never felt anything like it, I used to nap at teatime when I got home from work. Praying it doesn’t come this time as it will be so hard with a toddler!

I've just started spotting with a small clot

What do I do? I'm 6 weeks + 1 day

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese if you are bleeding a lot, or also in a bit of pain you could call the local labour ward for advice. That’s what my midwife told me to do if I needed to contact them outside ‘office’ hours. Sending good thoughts to you X

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese I called 111 when I bled last time they sent me to a & e but that was because it was good Friday and I couldn’t be seen by my dr Idk if it’s the same in your area but I needed a referral to be seen at my EPU but they will see you at 6 weeks x

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese ring 111 and they will call you back and I'd hope arrange for you to be seen at the early pregnancy unit at your local hospital. Of to start to bleed heavily , you could go your local A+E I don't think they would turn you away.
Try not to worry too much , as this can , even small clots be very normal. Rest and drink plenty

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese I’ve no advice but I hope you’re ok. Keep us informed xx

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese how are you this morning? X

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese I hope you're ok! X

Thank you for the help and checking in. I called 111 and they said someone would call me back. They called at 4am though and I was fast asleep. I'm hoping they call this morning. The spotting has stopped so that's some reassurance.

I'm really struggling with the sickness though. I can't keep anything down, I can't move without being sick and the nausea is there 24/7. The only relief I'm getting is actually being sick.

I'm not really a dramatic person but how do people cope? It's really ramped up this weekend but I have work tomorrow which is an hour commute each way. My office is not even close to the toilets.

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese the spotting stopping is good and surely (as annoying as I can imagine it Is) the sickness is a positive Also. I’ve never really suffered with bad morning sickness only bits here and there so can’t be of much help however if it’s getting really bad I would call your dr or midwife to see if they can give you anything... hope you get some kind of relief x

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese thinking of you, I hope you get a call soon. I'd forget about work tomorrow, let yourself have a day off sick. You don't need the extra stress of worrying about it today.

@DoesTheQueenOrderChinese
If your feeling sick that's a really really good sign . I wouldn't wait for then to call you back because it will have been shift change and things will get lost in translation , call them.back now and explain and hopefully you can speak to someone today.
If you are struggling with the sickness you can take some anti sickness meds. I suffer horrendously with hypermesis , and whilst it's a good sign of a healthy pregnancy , you also need to be able to function. I usually take cyclizine but you need to discuss that with your gp , don't be afraid to ask for something to help you though if your sickness is excessive. I struggled on with my son and ended up in hospital on a drip dehydrated because I couldn't keep even water down. Hope you feel well today , have lots of rest

How are you @DoesTheQueenOrderChinese?

How’s everyone else? I’ve felt iffy the last two mornings. I can’t describe it. A bit sick and just generally off it.

Hope you feel better this evening @DoesTheQueenOrderChinese and I'll call a sickie tomorrow and go to pharmacy and stock up on things that will make life easier. Xx

I've got a low level car sickness feeling now most of the time and can't sleep enough. My boobs are on fire, getting bigger by the day and so sore. I'm normally an A cup so it's amusing me to have boobs for the first time in my life 😂

Hi! New to the thread but I got my positive yesterday, think I’m between 1-3 weeks so should be due in Jan!

@Motherbride congratulations 😊 welcome to the thread x

Hope you are okay @DoesTheQueenOrderChinese x

How are you today @1986mum ?
I'm currently debating when to book at private scan 🙈 6 or can I wait. 7 weeks ?!
By the way if anyone's interested there are a few January babies groups on Facebook ! I joined due in January 2022 - UK

@Pinkyp22 I’ve not had any spotting today as of yet and have tested 3+ on a clear blue so that’s a positive however I don’t think I can endure a 7 week wait for a scan! So may book private myself . How are you today? X

Today I've been having super light cramps which are barely noticeable but I vaguely remember having the same when i was pregnant with DD. Not had any spotting, also been getting a stitch type of pain across lower abdomen if i move too sudden which I've never had before.

@PinkyP22 we also have a private one just for MN ladies due in January 😊

@marnh18 I've had the strange stitch type feeling a few times as well!

We’re in a bit of a chaotic situation.

I went to the EPU on Friday with my partner (at 5+6) as I’ve had constant back pain and sharp stabbing pains in my right side. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks last year so my GP referred us for an urgent appointment. I was concerned it was ectopic which I mentioned to the sonographer straight away.

The sonographer said, first off the pregnancy is in the right place - which I was incredibly relieved by. She then said she’d check my ovaries for any cysts and said both were perfect - which surprised me as I was convinced that if it wasn’t ectopic it was pain from a cyst. Then she said, I’m going to show you my screen.

She shows us the gestational sac with the yolk but no visible embryo and heartbeat which she said is normal at this stage. I was so relieved and it was amazing to see that something was there.

She then said, and just behind that, we can see another with a yolk, and a heartbeat. To which I froze and my partner just went oh my god. The assistant to the sonographer couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction.

But then she said, And here’s another... it’s triplets. A third sac with a yolk! I just said Oh god. I was totally numb. I was silenced by the whole thing.

She congratulated us - although I was so overwhelmed and just felt sick with worry.

We’re booked in for another scan and consultant appointment in 12 days to see where we are up to. The sonographer said to not get carried away because so much can change, and often do in this early stage.

I got into the car and sobbed. We truly aren’t set up for triplets and rent a small 2 bed flat. I know that it’s so early but I feel so scared what this could mean for these pregnancies, and also for my own health and future.

We’ve got lots to think about - and we’ll have to hold tight for Friday 21st when we find out what the situation looks like.

Just as an aside, this was a totally natural pregnancy with no assistance and neither me or my partner have any multiple births in the family - so having triplets is the last thing we would ever expected.

(Sorry for the huge essay but other than my partner and my mum, I can’t tell anyone and it’s such a lot to consider).

@1986mum I feel ok today , slightly tired but I haven't done anything to warrant it. Glad to hear no spotting , and the clear blue ❤️ I'm trying to wait as long as possible to do mine so I get the 3+ otherwise I will end up a nervous wreck and spend more money 😳
@Missingcoffee22 is there I didn't know , what's it called ?
