I know this is very early but I wanted to start a thread for those with a January 2023 due date.

I got my BFP 2 days ago and am about 4 weeks pregnant today. I already have a little boy born in November 2020 and I’m super excited for him to get a sibling but I know it’s early days and have had 2 early miscarriages in the past so slightly nervous too!

I was thinking 7/8 weeks for an early scan. I couldn't cope with not seeing a heartbeat. With my MMC I had a good scan at 7 weeks then lost it at 8 weeks, so a scan before 8 weeks isn't very reassuring. It's a long time to wait though...

I've also been thinking about this since time is going soo slowly and I am not sure I will be able to wait several weeks until the NHS scan! On the other hand one never knows and this early it's quite possible to be disappointed 😢

Is anyone using a pregnancy app they find useful and would recommend?

@Hopesandrainbows Great idea, I’m in a FB group for my first baby and it has been so useful during that pregnancy and even now, afterwards.

I’ve set up a FB group for January 2023 babies. No pressure for anyone to join, or if you want to join a bit later down the line that’s totally fine too! Link below: fb.me/g/p_whTFLhi3U4hMT75V/YInLA6k5

So I've got a spa day booked with my sister next weekend, I'm going to have to cancel my back massage and not go in the sauna etc - she's going to know instantly..! Going to be the most I've ever paid to just lie down for a day 😂

MightyMouse101 · 01/05/2022 20:10

@Sassy144 Why are you cancelling the back massage?? I've got a spa day next weekend too and was really looking forward to the massage. 😩

MightyMouse101 · 01/05/2022 20:10

@Swale You've made me want to join now 🤣

I might have a bfp, I don’t know (picture attached) came up within mins. I’m on CD15?! And had an egg retrieval 7 days before my period on 15/04 so no eggs to fertilise left behind. I was over stim’d so no hcg or embryo transfer. It’s worth adding I’ve tested + on CD14 before with bloods of 254 to match. My obgyn has immediately put me on progesterone 2x daily. Scan in 3 weeks or so. We’ll see. Hopefully I get a January bean 💖

Due January 2023 ❤️

I feel you! I run an equestrian and everyone will know as my husband has banned my from riding my horse or handling my 7 go’s little sh*te of a pony! And no alcohol.

Littlebean23 · 01/05/2022 20:36

@Becomingmom no alcohol on a Bank Holiday is a first for me! 😅

@Swale how lovely!! Thank you for creating one ☺️ Can people see that we're part of the group? Meaning our Facebook friends 🙈 Don't want to let the cat out of the bag!

@Littlebean23 I made sure to make the FB group private and hidden so friends can’t see any posts or see you’re in the group. 😊

Thank you for this I've joined! I'm in one for my older DC and it's been such great support!

IvyAndOlives · 02/05/2022 00:57

I'm the same as a few others, have told close family so that I have a bit of a support system if needed after previous losses 💕
Is anyone else not totally sure of their dates? I'd decided not to stress out over period dates etc due to previous MMC and just see what happened but I am now regretting not logging my periods properly as I can't remember my April period at all! I wrote the dates of my period starting 1st March but nothing after that. Clear blue showed 1-2 since conception on weds so that would match with having an April period but I honestly am not sure if I had one 🙈 sounds ridiculous but I'm just so busy with work and toddler I hadn't really thought about it then tested because it felt like a while since last AF.
My dilemma is do I get an early private scan when id be at least 6 weeks to see if they can date the pregnancy but I don't want to get one too early so that I won't see anything and be worried! It's going to be a long 9+ months with all this worry 🤣

Sassy144 · 01/05/2022 18:56

@Hopesandrainbows I agree that's a lovely idea but yes maybe when I'm a bit further down the line!

Is anyone else absolutely ravenous?! I can't stop eating

Yes! So hungry but when I eat I feel sick. Also just woke up and been greeted with nausea 😅

mrsgtobe97 · 02/05/2022 05:45

4 weeks today and already been sick, woke up with nausea and before long was gagging 😅 so early for this no?!

@MightyMouse101 I don't think back massages are recommended unless it's a specific pregnancy massage, check with your spa directly but mine says they aren't suitable.

@mrsgtobe97 oh no you poor thing! I get indigestion after eating but no nausea yet, last time it started early for me though around 5 weeks. Ginger can help?

@Lifeafterloss22 I've been having cramps and lower back ache. Think it's all normal and is your uterus stretching/little bean getting comfy.

MightyMouse101 · 02/05/2022 08:12

@Sassy144 That's a real bummer, I'll have to check. I've got 2 massages to use by the end of October!

Luckily it seems to have gone away it was just when I woke up 😅 fingers crossed it doesn't come back today lol

Sassy144 · 02/05/2022 08:42

@MightyMouse101 worth checking with them, it might be that they can adapt it for you!

MightyMouse101 · 02/05/2022 08:48

@Sassy144 I've contacted them. I was hoping for a pedicure as well as a back massage - that had to be reasonably safe, right?! There's going to be no avoiding telling my best friend though...

Sassy144 · 02/05/2022 10:56

@MightyMouse101 oh yeah a pedicure will be absolutely fine. I'm going to get a facial 🥰

PurpleSpottedLeopard · 02/05/2022 12:02

@Swale thanks for creating the Facebook group. I might wait a little bit to join though if that’s ok?

MightyMouse101 · 02/05/2022 12:14

@Sassy144 I'm allowed a manicure and a pedicure. That's it. 😩 I might postpone as that's pretty disappointing.

Pregnantandvworried · 02/05/2022 14:11

I posted yesterday about worrying after CT scan and my test still showing 1-2 weeks pregnant.
Well ,today I have tested early in the morning and it shows 2-3 weeks so it looks like pregancy is progressing. X
