Due December 2023

[s14a]

I haven't seen one of these yet for December so thought I'd start one!

I'm due 1st December with hopefully a little rainbow.
I'm on cyclogest because I had 2 losses in the latter end of last year (October and december) at 6 weeks and 10 weeks.

Fingers crossed for lots of December babies!

@Frozendaquiri so so so sorry. I’m sending you a lot of love and strength right now xxx

@Frozendaquiri sending so much sympathy and hugs your way. Good luck tomorrow xxx

I'm sorry you're experiencing this @Frozendaquiri. I'm glad you have support with you and I hope you get answers soon. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

I’m 26, currently 4 weeks 1 day into my first pregnancy.. due date 16th December! No symptoms yet really other than I’m really hungry all the time, craving savoury tangy food and I had a slight cold that lasted for 2 days (don’t even know if that’s a symptom) 😂 I’m waiting for the symptoms to ramp up a bit and also waiting to hear back from the maternity unit from self referring online. Can’t wait for that first scan🤰

@Frozendaquiri thinking of you and really hope you're ok 🤍 we are all here for you!

I'm 5+2 today... Further than I got last cycle so I'll take that as a win for now! 🤞 Couple of questions to you ladies...
From about 13dpo - 21dpo I had really like, tingly boobs (not sure how else to describe it!) And this tingly feeling went into my nipples and they also felt really sore and like they were on fire. As of yesterday morning (and still into this morning) this has completely stopped 😩 my nipples are still sore/sensitive if I give them a little pinch aha, but nothing like before. The only other symptoms I have is extreme fatigue... (although it was my daughter's birthday on Thursday and it's been non-stop since so maybe it's just that!?) And a few light headaches here and there which I have put down to tiredness along with maybe being a bit over emotional?
I guess I'm really worried that my tingly boobs have gone away and that I don't have any other real symptoms... I also have some pulling in my lower abdomen this morning which I'm not sure is a good sign! I guess I'm just super anxious after my chemical last cycle. Anyone else have minimal symptoms at this stage or symptoms that have completely disappeared? I'm finding it really hard to relax... I'm not letting myself get excited until the 12 week scan, but it sucks just constantly analysing everything and thinking I'm going to lose this one too.

Love and sticky baby dust to all 🤍x

@HannahLouD Hey, yeah from the day I tested I had really heavy sore boobs, but now they are just feel a tiny bit heavier & only a bit of a pain if I slightly touch them but sometimes no soreness at all. Really really trying to not over think it 🥴

@Emlo1996 welcome and congrats ❤️ 16th December is my daughter’s birthday! My December 23 babies due date is 15th December! So we’re close together!

@HannahLouD the anxiety around symptoms is so difficult to manage, isn’t it? I had an early loss prior to my daughter so I find this stage before the 12 week scan so anxiety inducing. I think it’s very normal for symptoms to come and go in the first 12 weeks. I know it’s hard but try to reassure yourself it’s normal. I’m trying to reassure myself that the absence of blood is the best sign there is that everything is okay. Although I do know people who’ve had blood and still had healthy pregnancies.

@Ehc1989 @TTCing it's literally sooo hard. I'm just feeling so anxious and down every day. It's not the early pregnancy experience I had hoped for at all.

I'm also fully aware this is super unhelpful and a ridiculous thing to do, but I had loads of easy@home tests so I've been taking them everyday in the hope to see a proper dye stealer after my kind of dye stealers. But mine haven't gotten any darker at all in the past, 5ish days. (Only reason the last one looks darker is because it's only been dry for a couple of hours) I've seen ones where the test line is basically black. (this is why you don't Google dye stealers to see how dark they can get and then compare!) And mine just aren't progressing now. I know people will say they can't get darker, but I've seen that they can! My test lines stalled last time with my chemical so I'm just convincing myself that with my symptoms gone too, it's just going to happen again.
I am having CBT for my anxiety in general, and I know that testing everyday is crazy and not helpful, it's actually making me feel worse, but I just feel like it's keeping me grounded for if/when the worst does happen again.
I don't know whether to pay for a private scan at 6 weeks... I know that sometimes even with a healthy pregnancy you can't see anything that early so I don't know if that would make me feel even worse still? Plus you have to pay for a re-scan if it's inconclusive and that would be so expensive!
I've just have had a bad feeling about this since the very start and I can't shake it.
I'm so sorry for ranting, I don't actually know what I'm hoping to achieve from posting this apart from getting it all out 🤦🏻‍♀️ fully aware people are going to think I'm really stupid x

@TTCing Ah yay! I was hoping I’d find somebody on the same timings as me! How are your symptoms at the moment?!

@HannahLouD don’t feel silly or crazy because I’ve been doing the same thing and I’ve never been through a chemical before! You just want to seek reassurance, praying that it will all be fine and straightforward 🙏

@Emlo1996 thank you so much! Glad I'm not the only one 🤦🏻‍♀️
I got a dye stealer at 15dpo on a frer and I got 3+ on the CB weeks indictaor at 18dpo... Tested again at 21dpo and it still said 3+. I don't know why I'm putting so much on these ics getting super dark (they are darker when wet, but dry a lot lighter).
I'm just so worried that my boobs are fine now haha.
This is all so very stressful.
I never did any of this with my daughter 😩 my CP the cycle before this has really made me nuts x

Hello, please can I join? Hopefully due 14/12

Thank you everyone for all of the lovely messages, I really needed to hear them 💗
Had a blood test this morning and results will come tomorrow but they will only confirm what I already know. I never knew anything could feel so heartbreaking. I'm going to wish everyone the best and leave the thread so as not to bring down the happiness.
I hope you all have happy and healthy pregnancies and hope one day I will too x

@Frozendaquiri lots of love and I hope you get your sticky pregnancy soon ❤️ Practice lots of self care and be kind to yourself in the meantime xx

@Emlo1996 i don’t think I have many symptoms yet really. Occasional moments of feeling a bit sick and some cramping but other than that I feel fine! How about you?

I'm so sorry frozendaquiri. I've had two miscarriages too so I have some understanding of how you feel and it completely sucks. I wish you lots of luck though. xxx

@Frozendaquiri so sad to hear what you’re going through, I can only imagine how heartbreaking it is 😞

@TTCing that’s reassuring to hear because I don’t have many symptoms yet either! I’m just really hungry all the time and one of my boobs is starting to get sore like on the under boob part 😂 it’s crazy how much I’ve been analysing every little feeling in my body since finding out

@Emlo1996 and @TTCing I'm due 14th December so not far from you guys either :)

@Frozendaquiri I'm so sorry to hear this. take good care of yourself xxx

@Peaceandloves exciting! It’ll be nice to stay in touch throughout each stage! 😊

Morning everyone
@Frozendaquiri thoughts with you today sadly I know what you are going through as had a MC 2 years ago very similar but at 7 weeks. I'm glad you have support. Just know it's nothing you did please don't feel any guilt or should i have done this etc easier said than done I know but it's really not your fault.

@HannahLouD Itotally get the anxiety my symptoms are fluctuations too. My boobs have been painful not so bad today but feel queasy. Been stressing about doing another CB digital as last time it didn't progress further than 2-3 weeks. Did one this morning and cried when it had moved to 3+ weeks. It's so anxiety inducing I don't know how people seem to just get pregnant and get on with life without the daily worries!

So glad I have somewhere to hear others talk about same feelings. It's comforting in a weird way.

Thanks girls for your messages! I really appriciate it.
I really don't have a good feeling about this though. My boobs are completely fine today... Sounds silly but I want the pain so I feel a bit less anxious 😅🙈 I felt much more chilled when I had the sore boobs... Wish they would come back!
I think if I'm still pregnant by the weekend, I think I'll book in for an early scan. Although is it crazy spending £80 to potentially see nothing or just get given bad news?! I don't know...x

Anyone else feeling super sick? 🤢 I should be around 5+4 today and I went out yesterday but couldn't really enjoy it as felt so nauseous. Car journeys are making me feel sick, the sight and smell of food is making me gag 😩

@Peaceandloves I'm also due 14th December 😊 I'm 4+5 today.
@HannahLouD sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious, feel free to rant away, we are all here for you. My symptoms have been coming and going, boobs had been sore from ovulation until a couple of days ago, weren't as sore yesterday or today. I've also had nausea but just random waves of it...sometimes when I'm hungry, sometimes after I've eaten, there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. I know anxiety is awful and it's easier said than done but I'm just trying to focus on things I can do/control eg eating healthy, taking vitamins, drinking plenty, going out walks etc. that's helping me to relax a bit but appreciate it's not a miracle cure for anxiety. Wishing you all the best.

I’m literally starving all the time at the moment, shortly after a big meal I’m snacking again 😂 making the most of it before the nausea probably creeps in!

Hey! About 6 weeks here, ish. Unexpected as I have a 10 month old, but my mumsnet group was amazing! We now have a Facebook group and we've stayed close 🙂

Last pregnancy was horrible, bleeding on and off throughout, no known cause.

I've been cramping a lot and started brown spotting, same as last time, you'd think I wouldn't be anxious after last time? But here k am freaking out.

Anyone here having period like cramps or spotting?

Congrats to you all xx

Just got my 3+ on the Clearblue weeks test, which is a very nice feeling to have confirmation that things are progressing.

@HannahLouD I’ve had ouchy nipples on and off since conceiving. Some days mega painful, other days I don’t notice it at all 🤷‍♀️. I’ve also had a bit of pulling/ tugging in my womb area, and yesterday some C-section scar pain 😬. Really hope it’s not implanting in the C-section scar and it’s just stuff moving around and shifting? Anyone else had this?
