Baby January 2023!

[TTC24]

Anyone else due January 2023?! Found out yesterday I'm pregnant with baby #2. If my dates are right, I'm 3+6, due 27th January! My daughters a Jan baby, but was due feb (she was 3 weeks early). May just must be a very fertile month for us! We fell pregnant last May too, but never met them😢.

[Laurzz]

Hey

I'm due 11th January 2023 with baby number #1. We had a loss earlier in the year so extremely anxious for this pregnancy.

Good Luck with your journey!

[TTC24]

@Laurzz sorry for your loss😢. I pray for a healthy pregnancy this time round for you! How far on are you? Xx

[Laurzz]

@TTC24 thank you, same to you.

Today I'm 6+3 days. I miscarried at 9 weeks in my last pregnancy but this one is different. I've had morning sickness for over a week now which I didn't have with the last so all promising signs.

How have you been?

X

[TTC24]

@Laurzz I've been ok tbh. Not much to say, just more hot, boobs a bit sore and heavy and feeling sick when eating certain things. My main two are tiredness and bloating atm x

[Brightonbelle87]

Hey! I'm due 2nd January with baby #1 also had a miscarriage last year at 6 weeks so feeling anxious but had lots of reassurance from Dr's and scans that everything is fine this time.

I'm exhausted with a bit of sickness and also bloated like a balloon, sounds like we're all on track!

Have you been telling people yet?

[Poppy9991]

Hi! Also due Jan 23! Congrats ladies!

@Brightonbelle87 @Laurzz @TTC24 also had losses (2 in the past year) and I don’t have kids so quite anxious as well. I’m exactly 5w today. my past losses were at 6 and 7 weeks so hoping for the best.

@Brightonbelle87 how far are you? you mentioned you had scans? already? Was it a 6w one?

Really wishing you all a healthy pregnancy!!

[TTC24]

@Brightonbelle87 congratulations! Sorry for your loss. Glad to hear everything is on track!! How are you feeling? We've been telling people close to us, a few friends, and both sides of immediate family (parents and siblings).

@Poppy9991 congratulations and I'm sorry for your losses! How are you feeling? I had a scan at 6weeks with my DD. Didn't see a lot other than the sac, yolk but also the heartbeat which is all I wanted!

Wishing healthy pregnancies on us all!!

[Poppy9991]

thanks @TTC24 ! I think I’m going to go for a private scan at about 6w (I’ll be abroad on holiday then but I’m sure I can find a Dr who can do it!)…

@Brightonbelle87 I didn’t tell anyone yet… with my history I really prefer to wait. But everyone has a different approach and all of them are equally fine just do what you think is best for you!

[TTC24]

@Poppy9991 yeah you definitely will! So jealous you're going on holiday! I also agree with what you said about telling people. Everyone has a different approach and every approach is ok! With my daughter, EPU scanned me at 5 weeks and made me panic so much, had a 2ww until 7 week scan I couldn't wait, I booked a 6w and she was perfectly fine. I announced DD at 5weeks, very early but with her being my first I couldn't contain myself!!

[Laurzz]

@TTC24 all sounding very positive🤞.

@Poppy9991 @Brightonbelle87 thank you, congratulations to you also.

We haven't told anyone yet and probably will wait until the 12 weeks but it's a personal choice. I've been wearing sea bands 24\7 but thankfully have managed to hide them. I've also been prescribed Cyclizine for the nausea.

I want an early scan but my partner wants to wait until the 12 week one.

[Brightonbelle87]

In my 8th week now and had a scan 3 days ago, there's heartbeat and little stumps for the arms and legs! I had bleeding during week 6 and thought here we go again so went to have a check up and there was already a heartbeat. So 2 scans by 8 weeks!

I'm slowly getting confident that I am pregnant and the obgyn said every day that passes the chance of a miscarriage lessens xx

Very jealous of your holiday, anywhere sunny?? 😎

[Laurzz]

@Brightonbelle87 did you have cramping at 6 weeks? I've had quite a bit of cramping over the last few days. It's almost like me period is going to come, but it's not persistent. I get anxious over the simplist things.

Heartbeat at 6 weeks is very good. Sounds like your on a positive road 🌈. X

[Ceejay85]

I've just found out today I'm Pregnant and due on 25th January 2023

[Poppy9991]

@Brightonbelle87 Going to Tunisia 🏖 - I’m so so bloated though, I will look like a whale on the beach haha!

@Ceejay85 congrats!!

[Ceejay85]

Thank you ... a little worried as its my 1st and I'm 37 years old ... well I'm hoping I am, I only took the test tonight and this pic was the result ... I'm 3 days late for period

[catlady10]

Hello please can I join?

I'm 5weeks+1 today so due on January 20th 2023 🥰

It's my first pregnancy and I honestly don't know what to think of everything!

I've had a "feeling" (can't say it's cramps really) in my lower left side since 10DPO and very few other symptoms! I feel full of energy (more than before I was pregnant!🤣) and my skin has become insanely soft and clear. I've had a few waves of mild nausea and I'm a bit more breathless than before after walking up stairs.

Should I be worried over my lack of symptoms and the fact that I'm feeling pretty great? 🤦‍♀️

[Laurzz]

@Ceejay85 congratulations. That's a very strong positive.

@catlady10 congratulations, everyone is different. I felt exactly the same until about a week ago. I just woke up one morning and it hit me. Some people sail through pregancy with no symptoms.

@Poppy9991 oh some nice sun. Enjoy!

[Poppy9991]

@Ceejay85 very strong positive there! Congrats!! And I’m 39 and no kids either! More and more people start their maternity journey later nowadays. I wouldn’t worry too much about that!

@catlady10 Im the same as you 5w1d today! Symptoms are on and off and it is very upsetting! I would have sore boobs one day and nothing the next. Very mild nausea sometimes but rare. Let try and not focus too much on these everyone’s different I guess…

[Fulbe]

Happy to be jumping on this bandwagon! No idea of when my last period was - I wasn't keeping track - but should be due sometime in January 2023. Unfortunately suffering from hyperemesis, but less bad than with my first.

@Laurzz yes I had rather a lot of cramping this time and with my first. It's called implantation cramping I think.

[H44123]

Hi ladies - hope you don’t mind me joining.

I just got a BFP a few days ago and Ovia is saying I am 3 weeks and 4 days so very early. If my calculations are correct I am due 31st jan 2023 but my periods have been a bit crazy.

This will be my first baby so I have no idea what to do 🤣 I am going to ring the doctors Monday and see what they say to do. Other than that I am completely clueless at this stage. I think I am going to book in for an early scan though as I am such a worrier in general

Congratulations to you all! Xx

[Laurzz]

@Fulbe congratulations. Oh no 😪, I hope your symptoms easy soon.

@H44123 congratulations, I'm in the same boat but midwife worked my dates out from confirmed ovulation. Also my first, but I'm sure we will smash it.

[TTC24]

Congratulations to everyone else who has joined!!

[H44123]

Do you ladies have any period like pains? I keep getting like a full ache more so on the right side lower belly, doesn’t hurt but I can feel it. I don’t know if that’s normal? Thanks

[Laurzz]

@H44123 Yes I've had this. Seems pretty normal when you talk to people and look on Google.

[H44123]

@Laurzz thank you.

it’s all so scary and unknown isn’t it. I haven’t started feeling too bad yet either, a bit of nausea but not actually sick.

I stupidly bought a few times before so I had a few, I keep checking each day just to make sure it’s still real 🤣🤣
