Congratulations! I am, around 3 Jan i think!

Motherbride · 09/05/2021 20:25

I am! Either late December or early Jan, can’t work it out until I have a scan because I haven’t had a period for 6 months since giving birth 🙈

Will it be your first?

Pinkyp22 · 09/05/2021 20:44

Congratulations @Misty91
And congratulations to you too @Motherbride , this is my second , my son will be almost 10 when this baby arrives. I have had several miscarriages , the last one was in February , because of that and having to have surgery I haven't had a period since January 😱 , I do know when I ovulated thankfuly!
Hope you are both feeling well

@Pinkyp22 feels very surreal! Sorry to hear about your miscarriages it must be an anxious time for you.

@Pinkyp22 will you be able to have an early scan or anything like that? We are having a private one in two weeks as I'm too impatient Smile

Pinkyp22 · 09/05/2021 21:30

@misty91
Probaly not , not unless I have bleeding, I'd rather no go through the ordeal of going to the epu again to be honest. I will have a private one too I've got a few weeks to wait untill I'm 6 weeks +

Had our first positive test on the 15th and again on the 16th. First ever time so very excited but mega nervous at the same time! We have filled in an online form to register for a midwife and expecting a letter within the next few weeks to let us know the next steps. App says due 26th Jan 2022 😀 feel like I'm googling everything at the minute!

Misty91 · 19/05/2021 20:15

@Mama2be2022 congratulations! I filled my online form in 2 weeks ago and just had a call from the midwife today for my booking app which is next week Smile

charlotte95x · 19/05/2021 20:26

Hi ladies I'm due 12th of Jan so still very early! This would be my second baby but 5 pregnancy! How are you all finding early pregnancy?

Mama2be2022 · 19/05/2021 20:28

Thankyou! You too🥰

Oh that's quite a quick turn around then so hopefully we don't have to wait long either. Holding off telling family until the first visit.

Sorry for the double post! First time commenting and didn't realise just pressing reply doesn't tag you! 🙈

Hi January Moms!! I am due January 13th (according to the apps anyway). Having my first scan tomorrow when I will be 6w2d from the first day of my last menstrual period.

Has anyone experienced symptoms that come and go? 1 week ago I was getting pulling and stretching on either side of my uterus. That has stopped a few days ago. After that I got period like cramps but that stopped a day ago. My boobs were very sore and heavy, now they are just heavy.

I have had no bleeding or major pain to complain about. Just wondering if anyone's symptoms are similar to mine. Thanks you in advance. Smile

Misty91 · 21/05/2021 19:43

@TriniMamaBear85 congratulations! I had my first scan today and was a week and 2 days out with my dates so now due 10th Jan rather than 3rd.

I've had all the symptoms you have mentioned! My scan was all good today and could see a little heartbeat so don't worry about it 😊

TriniMamaBear85 · 21/05/2021 19:48

@Misty91

Thank you and congratulations as well. Wishing you a continued safe pregnancy and healthy baby. Flowers

RHODXB · 22/05/2021 10:33

@Pinkyp22 i am pregnant with my 2nd, due around jan 5th and my daughter will be 10 on jan 15th too! So excited to tell her but nervous to tell her too soon! Feels like first time all over again as it's been so long!

Hey, I’m 5w 2d. I had that pulling and stretching sensation as well and some mild cramping that comes and goes, although it still fills me with fear every time it happens! It’s my first so I don’t know what’s normal and what isn’t. My boobs have felt sensitive just the last few days, it seems to come and go as well. Hope your scan went well. I’m booked in for when I will be 7w 5d all being well🤞🏼🙏🏼
charlotte95x · 22/05/2021 18:09

Hey ladies hope your all okay!
I had a scan yesterday with epu as I had a little bleed on Monday but I saw bubba and it's little heart beating 💓 bleed was apparently the implantation!

I am now 6w2days, still early days but the reassurance has helped lots and my back ache seems to hurt less now, so defo putting it down to stress! Just thought I'd say this in case you guys as needing a positive outlook!

Anyone else due around Jan 12th

Hello all. Can't believe I'm joining this thread. I'm in a state of shock right now. I have 2 children one of which took me 4 and a half years to conceive. Ds2 cake along quite quickly afterwards. My two are now 9 and nearly 8. I split with my husband and met an amazing man 2 years ago. He has 4 children himself. So that's 6 between us. This wasn't planned. I came off the pill new years eve due to having problems with my stomach which I'm currently going through tests for. I also have type 2 diabetes which I'm struggling to keep under control. Took a test this morning and was shocked to see a positive. I've had cramping a bit today so slightly worried. But also feel sicky and sore boobs. By my last period I'm due around 2wnd January. Anyone else having cramping period type pains? I'm an overthinker at the best of times. Now my heads mashed.

RockyisMYRhino · 22/05/2021 19:16

Hi everyone! I had a BFP a couple of days ago and think I'm about 4 weeks. NHS calculator says I will be due around 28th January. Thankfully not had any morning sickness or nausea yet - just absolutely shattered and have massive boobs!

RockyisMYRhino · 22/05/2021 19:18

@Mummabear1987 I had a few cramps last week and thought AF was on the way. Think it's pretty normal although I don't remember having them with my DS 3 years ago. Try not to worry - the sickiness and sore boobs are a good sign

Mummabear1987 · 22/05/2021 19:27

Thank you. I cant remember any of this from my first two. With my second I had no symptoms at all to the point health visitor told me I would miscarry. (Yes she got a telling off) maybe I'm feeling extra worried because when I found out this morning my first thought was I can't do this.

Hi everyone!! May I join??
I'm due in Jan too with my IVF baby 😍
I have my first scan on Tuesday at 7w at my IVF clinic and then just waiting for midwives to contact and tell me what to do.
First pregnancy for both husband and me so really happy.
I have been feeling really bad for the last three days, strong headache and feeling i'm going to throw up all the time. But no nausea, I can eat normal. It's just the stomach feeling.
The head is killing me... and I don't know what to do.
Anyone has had any of this and can recommend anything? Xx
