So I know this is super super early, but I wanted to start a thread going for us ladies with December due dates. I had a mc during my first pregnancy in January so I'm nervous about everything, but also excited! I'm 4 weeks pregnant Sunday and my test lines have been fairly strong 🙏 I have a sensitive sense of smell and my nipples are sore (but I'm embracing every symptom I get!)

@Skylark1990 this is the thread, hope this works as I can't see how to send you a message on the app! Congratulations again 😊🎉

Scan day today! Been up all night a d feeling super nauseous but that could be the anxiety. Will update later! X

DogsAndGin · 11/04/2022 09:42

@RoseGold24 only 4 weeks and 4 days along. Just being silly really

Rose2022 · 11/04/2022 09:45

Morning everyone!
Very pleased to say I got my BFP this weekend Grin we are very lucky as I only had my implant removed mid Feb. 1st baby!
Just bursting to tell someone!! We are going to tell our families at the weekend, we are very close so would struggle to hide it and would like to share the journey with them Smile
I am thinking of calling my GP this morning just so they can tell me the process and midwife details etc... how did everyone else get on with this? Were they helpful?
Smile

@DogsAndGin no I love your enthusiasm ☺️

Haxeri · 11/04/2022 09:53

I was planning on doing baby's room kind of woodlands foresty, almost exclusively because that rooms already green and I have no desire to paint...

PinkFizz1 · 11/04/2022 09:56

@BuchananBaby @LolaJ87 thanks ladies it’s probably not as bad as I made it out to be last night, I was just having a wee moment I think! I am anxious that this little one won’t stick but it’s not consuming my life or anything, I think it was the hormones last night!

Im 5+1 today and still no reply symptoms apart from sore boobs which are 100 times worse in the mornings. Im hoping I’ll get a call about my booking in appointment this week, and I even want some sickness to start so it feels a bit more real!

Just struggling with it not feeling real I guess.

PinkFizz1 · 11/04/2022 09:57

@Rose2022 congratulations!

@Amphibian94 good luck with your scan please let us know how it goes!

littlecontis · 11/04/2022 09:59

@Pinkfig I bought a Groupon voucher for the 8 weeks + scan yesterday and will book when I am 7 weeks (currently 5+4) Will be our first baby and also don't want to wait until I am 12 weeks!

@DogsAndGin love the nursery ideas! We plan to use my current office as nursery! We might just add some curtains and hang some pictures / paintings up that that might be it! Might start looking at a cross stitch pattern after seeing your pins!

@Amphibian94 Good luck! Keep us updated!

@Rose2022 Welcome! I submitted a self-referral form to my local hospital midwives' department and they sent me a letter confirming my first appointment - I will be 9 weeks!

MiaSparkle · 11/04/2022 10:04

At the hospital today🤧 finally. Just had 2 cups of water after being told to "fill my bladder" and threw it up. Waiting for a scan now so I dunno how that's gonna work with the water coming back up☹️

PinkFizz1 · 11/04/2022 10:06

@MiaSparkle let us know how you get on x

MiaSparkle · 11/04/2022 10:24

It was all fine. No worries at all, the pain is coming from the gas in my belly🤣 and I had my first scan🥳x

LolaJ87 · 11/04/2022 10:26

Feeling very tearful and down today. I know it's hormones but all the same, not fun.

@Amphibian94 @MiaSparkle good luck with your scans today, am keeping everything crossed for you both. I don't think having a full bladder matters so much for an early scan as they sometimes do them transvaginally? Let us know anyway.

BuchananBaby · 11/04/2022 10:28

@Amphibian94 and @MiaSparkle good luck today ❤️

@rose2022 congratulations 🥰

@Haxeri definitely avoid painting if you can! We spent 2 weekends painting bloody clouds all over my daughters nursery when I was 8 months pregnant 🥴 we done her room like andys room in toystory and there were so many clouds 😐🙈

This baby will be sharing a room with DD for a couple of years as we made the box room an office and me and my partner will be working from home 3 times a week then I think we'll need to move for more space 🙈

BuchananBaby · 11/04/2022 10:29

Aww @MiaSparkle that's fantastic news 🥳❤️

DogsAndGin · 11/04/2022 10:30

@littlecontis and @Haxeri your nursery ideas both sound lovely!

Congratulations @Rose2022 I called my dr surgery at 4 weeks, and they have popped a big long form in the post, and have arranged a callback for the midwife to make a ‘booking appointment’

hopefulsunshine11 · 11/04/2022 10:36

Hey! So my back pain got worse through the night it was unbearable and I was almost in tears. I kept feeling like I needed the toilet, like there was pressure. I've also got pain in the top of my thighs. I called the GP they said to call the self referral unit which I did and I'm waiting on a call from the midwife over the next week. I think I'll wait for her call but if it gets even worse call the EPU. Anyone had the same kind of pain or symptoms? I don't have any sickness etc just tiredness.

DogsAndGin · 11/04/2022 11:15

Hi @hopefulsunshine11 you’re not alone x

I have no sickness, and I’m not particularly tired either, I told my mum I was pregnant and she couldn’t believe it - all the women in my family get hyperemesis the second they conceive. I feel a bit like having no symptoms means something is wrong with me.

But on the other hand, I have cramps in my tummy and back - it feels like period pains. Tbh I’ve half expected to see blood every time I’ve gone for a wee, it feels just like when I’m about to come on my period. Also, I am very bloated and seem to have unending farts!! 😅 not sure if I can blame that on the baby 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sorry to hear you’ve had so much pain, I hope you heard back from the midwife quickly with good reassuring news.

Also, before I knew I was pregnant, I woke up in the night with such bad pain in my tum, I was literally writhing around! And the next day, I had what felt like bad kidney pain. I thought it was a UTI at first, but a few weeks later turns out I’m pregnant!

I am continuing to get cramps, but just trying to relax and eat well/drink plenty of water. At least I know I can get pregnant which I was having doubts about.

Best of luck to you x

lovesT · 11/04/2022 11:39

The nausea has got worse for me today, I'm hoping like with my daughter I won't actually be sick this pregnancy but the nausea git me today! It was only mild before today. I fancied tomato soup and found a can in the cupboard so that's nice to eat something. I always feel more sick when I'm hungry so anyone feeling the same, keep snacks with you!

I'm definitely not feeling right but it's all pregnancy stuff so I'll take that as a good thing. My mum is coming to help with my daughter today so might just have to tell her! Feeling completely wiped out!

BuchananBaby · 11/04/2022 11:47

@lovesT I'm the same the nausea has hit hard today and the food aversions 🤢 I just tried to eat my leftover subway and had to put it down and the worst thing is I'm so hungry it's unreal 😩 can't stomach anything other than iced water either 🤢 definitely say to your mum and see if she'll take your daughter out so you can get a nap 🥰

lovesT · 11/04/2022 11:55

@Buchananbaby how many weeks are you? It's horrible isn't it 😥 all I feel happy to eat is tomato soup and pizza, so will need to go to the shops later lol. It feels weird telling family so early this time as last time we waited until the scan but they can all tell something is off as I'm so tired and I think we'll need the help this time with our daughter. I'm super emotional too haha, will cry at the smallest thing, even your message made me tear up 🤣. I hope you find something you can eat soon x

BuchananBaby · 11/04/2022 12:08

@lovesT I'm 6+4 how far along are you? Definitely get stocked up 😁 yeah I think with your first it's so exciting and you want to surprise people but with your 2nd it's more practical so people can help with the toddlers 😂 aww you poor soul I've not been too bad but I cried yesterday because my daughter done something new 🙈😂 I just tried cereal and that's a no go to by the looks of it, may need to try cream Crackers and see if those work 😂😂 x

RoseGold24 · 11/04/2022 12:15

Just called maternity referral line and got first midwife appt and first scan dates! Was quite surprised. Really resisting the urge to POAS again with a digital 'how many weeks' to check for progression. Feeling terrified... no symptoms other than sore boobs

Skylark1990 · 11/04/2022 12:42

Hey all, thanks for the tag @lovesT!

Can I please join? I'm 12dpo and have just had a positive clearblue digital 🥰 also had positive FRERs yesterday and Saturday. On holiday in France right now hence the French word for pregnant! 😂

It's our second baby, we have a 19mo daughter too. Period due tomorrow or Wednesday so just hoping it's a sticky bean and everything progresses 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Due Dec 21 if all goes well! X

Due December 2022 ❤👶
