Hi hope you don't mind me joining. I'm pregnant with my third baby and due Christmas day. My second was born on Christmas Eve so we really didn't think that one through

@burtle4

Seems like there's a lot of us who have experienced loss which is making us super nervous this time around. It's good to have forums like this so we can support each other and it's nice to know there are others out there that are just as worried as me that their happy bubble will be popped! Good luck to everyone having scans x
Oh gosh yes. For me it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Sometimes my symptoms go away for a day or so and that's when I start panicking. I don't like feeling sick but it's also a bit of a comfort at the same time

plantloveJolly · 19/05/2021 15:20

I'm a massive panic ball :( I have barely any symptoms at all and even my boob soreness is slowing down and it's making me feel rally stressy!

I just want to get to 12 weeks! Having this forum is very helpful, makes it feel less lonely

Curlymam88 · 19/05/2021 15:37

@stormelf my daughter was born 20th December and this baby is due Xmas day! I actually started some xmas/birthday shopping for her today as December is going to be a crazy month Envy but I'm in no way complaining. Feeling blessed Smile

Yes ladies we are all basically having Christmas babies. This will be the first December baby for me. My other 2 are September and august

@Curlymam88 @stormelf
What's it like having children with birthdays so close to Christmas? My other 2's birthdays are 11 days apart at the end of January and that feels close enough to Christmas, it's definitely going to be an expensive time of year 😂 definitely wouldn't have planned a Christmas baby but couldn't bring myself to skip a month when it just didn't seem to be happening for us anyway, typical that it was the one month out of 27 that it finally happened 😅

burtle4 · 19/05/2021 17:05

@NatMoz @plantloveJolly
My symptoms seem to come and go as well, some days I feel fine, others I just need to eat all day or I feel sick! The boob soreness is also barely there now so I'm just hoping that symptoms start to tail off around now as the placenta starts to take over 🤞

Aww yes ladies I have the same problem except the sore boobs and tiredness. The cramps I get come and go but I know that is down to my uterus expanding. @burtle4 such an odd question but as you are also pregnant with your 3rd baby have you noticed that your belly has formed a bump already? I mean before I was pregnant I was quite slim with a slight old baby belly but was a size 8 now I've gone up to a size 12.

OP posts:
burtle4 · 19/05/2021 18:37

@jade0881 yes, but I'm sure it's just bloat as it's much worse in the evening! By the end of the day I look about 5 months gone 😂 I'm also quite slim and I think it seems to make it more obvious, I get really paranoid that people (and the kids) are going to start noticing! I didn't get a noticeable bump until after 20 weeks with my second but I've got a feeling that's not going to happen this time around!

@burtle4
It's so obvious with mine... my youngest daughter says I have a grinch belly and my eldest daughter already knows I'm pregnant... 2 of my friends noticed. So strange.... I reckon I will show quicker with this one. With my first I was about 15 weeks when I started showing., with my second I was 17weeks and now with this one I'm showing quite early

It's not too bad having a child with her birthday so close to Xmas. We try to separate it as far from Xmas as we can with birthday balloons, cake and banners etc...its a hectic month.
I get what you mean with the belly, this was my 'bump' at 4 weeks 🤣 this is my third pregnancy so I've put it down to that

Any due late December

Hello,

I went for an early scan i am due 31st of December going on those dates, i will need to have a c section due to complications with my first baby, im curious if because of time of year with staffing ect it would be the standard week before (xmas eve) im hoping not as i would like to be at home with my little boy lol. I have my booking appointment tomorrow and then my 12 week scan on the 23rd June il be like 12+4 at that point :) Lots of sickness and generally feeling horrendous.... i can safely say no more!

@jade0881 that's such a cute bump. Mine seems to be getting a little more rounded each week but it's round all day and night not just after i eat or anything. 🙈

Curlymam88 · 19/05/2021 21:06

Also I've started to rub in my Palmers belly rub and I have bio oil already to use!!

I haven't done anything like that as of yet but I think I should because my belly tends to get itchy.

@jade0881 including my pregnancy last December this is my third. I only got to 12 weeks but I think because it wasn't that long ago my body has stretched easier this time. Finding it difficult to hide, ideally want to wait till after 12 week scan to tell people.

jade0881 · 19/05/2021 21:36

@Curlymam88 right I'm with you.. bless you... yeah same here but I couldn't hide the bump well enough so a couple of my friends know 🤦‍♀️

stormelf · 20/05/2021 10:32

@Curlymam88 oh wow, glad it's not just me who will have two late December babies! December is going to be a crazy month for both of us but I definitely agree I wouldn't change it for the world!

Hi, everyone! I’m pregnant with my 4th, partner’s 3rd, our first - due 17 December after an ectopic pregnancy and salpingectomy in January. We’re going to need a bigger car 🤦‍♀️
