Hi everyone,

There’s a few separate threads with people due in January so I thought I’d try and bring us all together under one roof :)

Congratulations to everyone and sending lots of positive vibes for happy healthy pregnancies!

I feel like this is it now. Iv only known for 3 days about the pregnancy, but worried every minute since. This is never going away now is it? Like ever, even when they are adults. Oh wow Im getting far too ahead of myself aren't I

@Lakedeal thank you, I took everyone's advice and did a nice workout today! and don't worry about what people think, 3 of my friends fell pregnant again when their babies were between 3-6 months! tbh I plan to do the same hopefully!

Ladies I have set up a Facebook group. It’s hidden and private. No one will know you joined. If you want to join then just private message me your email address and I will add you

Giraffe888 · 06/05/2021 11:33

@Ralalaif it’s worked then I’ve messaged you x

Ladypap · 06/05/2021 11:37

@Tina8800 @LSW82 I too am in the same boat... I had a MMC and 2 CP's in the last 10 months, and due to my low AMH level I was about to start IVF this month but got a BFP just before! I am currently (and shamefully) addicted to peeing on sticks to make sure there is a progression line but told myself DPO 20 is my last day of testing...so far the lines are ok but I am so terrified of going to the loo! I really hope we enjoy our pregnancies!

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 14:19

Hey ladies. Hope it's okay to jump on here?
I got my BFP 2 days ago! I'm 32 and have been trying for our second baby since January this year. I already have a little boy who turned 2 last week.
My cycles are fairly short and they differ each month so I've tried getting an estimated due date from the NHS website but I can't say for certain how long my cycles are. So I'm going off due date of around 12th Jan!
Going to call GP later and start the ball rolling. I also want to book a private reassurance scan for when I'm roughly 8 weeks. I had one with my little boy too.
Is anyone else booking one? X

Giraffe888 · 06/05/2021 14:27

@Confused678866 congratulations! I’ve got a DS who is 21 months

We’ve booked a private scan when I’ll be 7+3 x

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 14:29

@Giraffe888 Thank you, congratulations to you too! Ahh how lovely, when did you get your BFP? I think I'll try and book a scan when I leave work today for about 4 weeks time. Did you have one with your little one? Xx

CC12x · 06/05/2021 14:36

Hi all, hope yous don't mind me joining. Congratulations on all BFP. Just recently found out I'm pregnant due Early January. 3rd baby son is 12 and my daughter is almost 6 months. I have my work cut out for me 😂 x

Flowers222 · 06/05/2021 16:20

Hi all! Hope you don't mind me joining too! Congratulations to you all 😊 I got my BFP this morning and I am in complete shock, also really anxious as I had a chemical in December. But I have strong lines so trying to be positive. Apps say I am due 16th January.

Missingcoffee22 · 06/05/2021 16:24

Congratulations @CC12x and @Flowers222!

LilmissCa · 06/05/2021 16:26

@Confused678866
I just booked mines for when I'm 7wks 6 days .. hopefully that's a good time. I was trying to wait till after 8 weeks but my brother is due home the day after my scan so would be happier announcing then

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 16:44

@LilmissCa Yes I think that's a good time. Anytime around then really. The place I use says from 6 weeks? But I think that's maybe too early?
Have you just gone from your last AF date to work out that you will be 7wks 6 days ? Xx

LilmissCa · 06/05/2021 17:07

@Confused678866 yes that's what I am going by, mines are pretty regularly at 27 days

LilmissCa · 06/05/2021 17:08

@Confused678866 I was thinking 6 weeks is very early, I'd want another scan at 8 if I got one at 6 lol

Flowers222 · 06/05/2021 17:23

@LilmissCa I also think 6 weeks would be really early! I would worry if I am a couple of days out I wouldn't see anything which would send me into a panic. I was planning on booking an early scan for 7-8 weeks. Want to get to 5 weeks before I book it though, just to make sure.

Thanks @Missingcoffee22 😊

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 17:47

@LilmissCa See, my last cycle was 25 days but the 2 before that were 22... does it matter as such when it comes to the scan?? I was thinking of booking one for bang on 8 weeks which would be 5th June xx

LilmissCa · 06/05/2021 18:19

@Confused678866 that's what I'm not sure about! I think it would be harder if the cycles were longer.. couldn't be the 1st day then
Someone else here might know more ☺️

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 18:56

@LilmissCa Oh yeah I've just read about it.. longer cycles mean you're more likely to have ovulated later and therefore gestation wouldn't be as far as long. Makes sense now! Shorter cycles are okay I think. I've booked a scan for when I'll be 7wks 6days.. wanted the following day but our little one would be with us and they're not currently allowed! Xx

Giraffe888 · 06/05/2021 19:23

I’ve got really bad trapped wind pains and it’s scaring me as I often get it when AF is due. It’s so painful

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 19:24

@Giraffe888 Trapped wind can be a pregnancy symptom though because of the hormones slowing everything down in your body. Try not to worry xx

Giraffe888 · 06/05/2021 19:24

@Confused678866 I got my bfp last friday. Yes we had an early scan with my son too. No way could I wait until 12 wks!

Giraffe888 · 06/05/2021 19:25

@Confused678866 I hope you’re right 🤞🏻

Confused678866 · 06/05/2021 19:34

@Giraffe888 Yes I went to my last private scan believing I was around 7/8 weeks but I was actually 10 so I didn't have to wait long for the 12 week one!
Hope you're okay xx

Madeoftea · 06/05/2021 21:10

Have any of you ladies experienced implantation bleeding? I got my bfp two days ago and today would be the day af was due to arrive and I've had some mild cramping on and off all day and a teeny bit of spotting (like light brown cm) and I'm freaking out a tad! I think I will be 4 weeks on Sunday so I'm worried about a chemical pregnancy and I've already had a mmc this year so my anxiety is through the roof.
