Anyone due late December 21 (UK based) and want to chat?

[TTC94]

Hi all,

Just a little backstory for you.

My husband and I have been trying for 13 months. We had a miscarriage in February. By some miracle, we’ve found out I’m pregnant again. Our estimated due date is the 28th December. Currently 4 weeks 4 days.

This will be our first baby and I do have a lot of anxiety which I am trying to suppress and ignore. I am terrified of the same situation unfolding again. However, this pregnancy seems much more positive so far as I got my bfp earlier and I’ve done loadssss of tests and they’re all really strong bfps. I have had a 1-2 on a Clearblue digital and I retested again and it’s come up 2-3 so I know my hcg must be rising.

I’m hoping to book in for an early scan at 7ish weeks, in attempt to put my mind at ease somewhat.

I am so excited at the prospect of having a baby around Christmas as it’s my favourite time of year.

So far, the only symptoms I think I’ve noticed are needing to wee a lot and breathlessness.

If anyone would like to join to just discuss your thoughts, feelings or plans. I would really appreciate it It’s so hard not to tell anyone! Only my husband and mum know!

Xx

Hi @TTC94, I'm very similar to you. Due the 29th and had an early miscarriage in February. I'm very nervous about this one going well. This will also be our first.

I'm not sure if I will go for an early scan or not. Part of me wants to but I have also heard they can cause unnecessary anxiety.

No one else knows except DH. I'm not planning on telling anyone until the 9th of May. Its mothers day then where my parent live and my mother has wanted a grandchild for years. Then we will probable also tell my MIL but keep it to that for a while. But I'm finding it quite hard, it very lonely having no one to talk to about it.

My symptoms are a constant subtle nausea and the occasional cramps (which scare me but i guess are normal at this stage). I also have breathlessness but I don't know if that the pregnancy or maybe i'm just very out of shape after a year of lockdowns.

@GreenMeeple Hello! Thanks so much for commenting back to me.
Sorry to hear about your loss, but congratulations on your pregnancy!

Our experiences sound very similar.

I really wish I had people to talk about it with too but I just feel like it’s too early at this stage to tell people in real life too!

I think if everything is okay after the 12 week scan, we’ll announce it then.

I’ve filled out my forms for midwife care so I’m hoping I’ll hear from them soon.

Trying to remain positive, but it is difficult!

Sending lots of positivity to you! Xx

Somewhere on here is a due december 2021 thread and there is a link on it to join a (private) Facebook group. Lots of lovely ladies to chat to ☺️ congratulations 🎊🎊

@Janxyb thank you so much, I’ll look xxx

Feel the very same way!! Had a miscarriage at the end of January and hopefully due mid December.

I am worried this will go the opposite way so have not told anyone other than the hubby. Again difficult as we are not willing to say anything until after the 12 week scan may even extend the announcement to around 16/18 weeks if its still not oblivious. So haardd not being able to reach out to friends and family for advice and help xx

Where is it? I can’t find it.

Hi,

Congratulations!

I had an early scan which confirms I am 10 weeks tomorrow! Due 21st December 2021!

Very exciting!

I haven't really got any symptoms apart from having to eat constantly because it makes me feel a bit sick otherwise.

Also starting to show, I am a tiny size 6! Wont be for much longer with all the snacks I'm eating :D

Hey! Am currently 10+4 and sickness is absolutely rotten. First preg, hoping this is the peak of it. I’ve turned into a recluse, husband made plans with friends (and I) for BH weekend and I’ve resigned to just laying in my pit of misery (sofa) until Tuesday morning - I just cannot face it. How do women do this a second/third time
