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!

Hey gals

Got my BFP on Monday - couldn’t believe it as I tested on Thursday and was negative. Unsure when I ovulated but going by my last period it’s 16 December.

this pregnancy number 3 for me - had a misscarridge in 2016 & now have a 5 year old!

excited but defo have insomnia. Was working nightshift last night slept 8-1 and been awake since and back in tonight could cry.

only symptoms Iv had is the insomnia and that weird crampy pulling feelings.

hope your all well and look forward to this journey!!!

@KIWI2023 thanks for the reply! Might try a hot water bottle seeing as warm showers help! They just feel so hot already I feel like I'll completely burn up if I do 😅😂
Congrats on your twins - amazing!!
Oh gosh I hope my boobs grow!!! I've got pancakes atm! 🙈 I know they grew with my daughter but I can't remember when... Hoping I'm still too early! No nausea yet either... Weirdly hoping these things happen soon... But for now I guess I'll just be happy I at least have some symptoms 😅🤞

I’m tired too! Eyes are constantly stinging from being tired 🤣
I’m only 4+1 so very early. Getting lots of crampy/pulling feelings but only slightly noticeable. Take it this is all normal? 🙈

@HannahLouD thank you lovely. Was definitely a shock but I'm so so amazed and grateful. I would already give anything for them, seeing their heartbeats was amazing, I just hope they stay and keep growing.

My boobs were also tiny and flat but they've been painful since around 4 weeks and in the last two weeks they have deffo grown.

My nausea is settling in but no actual vomiting which is really surprising and kind of makes me worry? This is my first pregnancy so all new to me.

@angelslice88 & @99SR I have quite bad cramps which felt like period pains from 5 dpo until 5+6, ended up seeing my GP and it turns out I had a UTI. So if it gets bad just make sure you get a urine test as it's much better since my antibiotics (fingers crossed it stays like this)🤣🙏🏽

@WhiteHorse92 due date twins 🥰🤞🏼

@KIWI2023 I never vomited in all 3 of my pregnancies the nausea was rubbish though

Bloody hell took well over a year for DD1 and I just got a positive this evening. Last time I had no clue how far along I was as my cycles were anywhere from 8 weeks to 3+ months!
This time I started my period on the 11th so I actually know how far along I am. Although I had tried to use the natural cycles app but it couldn’t determine an ovulation date.
At the minute DD is 15th December. Can’t quite wrap by head around having a second this year!!

@KIWI2023 that makes sense actually. Glad you got it sorted! This sounds TMI but my urine has actually been a bit bright recently so maybe is that. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks!

@HannahLouD OH god yes to the sore boobs and nipples being erect constantly. My OH said my boobs are huge they are also veiny. I'm not small in that department anyway so don't want them to grow too much. I found a cool shower and unwired bras are the best for me. I also get some itching on them at night which is interesting.

I’m currently 4+2 (I think) and don’t have any symptoms yet. My test lines are very dark and clear blue says 2-3 weeks so I’m not too worried yet but it’s weird how much I want to feel some pregnancy symptoms again.
I had a MMC in January and still had symptoms for a while after so I know it doesn’t necessarily mean all is well, but it would be nice to feel pregnant at this stage whilst I don’t look it yet

here’s hoping to sore boobs and sickness soon, I’m on holiday next week so I’ll probably get it all then 😂

So I went for a private scan today, measuring 5 weeks, 5 days!
Been referred to the early pregnancy unit though, because they think I might be carrying twins, but weren’t 100% sure!

Congratulations!
I had a scan at early pregnancy today too which put me at 5+5 but all looked good.

I should've been 6+4 but I'm trying not to panic about the change of dates

@HannahLouD I’m so with you on the sleeping. I’ve been going to bed by 9.30 for the last five nights and every time I’m out like a light.

Going to have dinner this evening and contemplate whether an 8.30 bedtime is unreasonable!

Hi everyone, and congratulations on your BFPs!
I'm tentatively joining, hoping not to jinx myself so early. I'm 4w+4d, AF was late so took a test yesterday and another one today, but I've had two MCs so far, one in October and the other in January - so I'm taking it all with diminished enthusiasm. This would be our third, we've older children now (16 and 12) but wanted to give it one more try before closing shop for good...
Hope everyone will have a lovely pregnancy ahead 🙂

Is anyone else experiencing cramps/pains on one side in particular? I am today and makes me a bit nervous. Hopefully just stretching pains.

Hi, got my BFP on Saturday think I am due around mid December but feeling really anxious this time round after a MMC last December. Cramping quite often but also really gassy so not sure if pains are down to that or something else. All I can do is nervously wait it out.

I bled such a small amount at what I thought was 8 weeks last time, but i wasnt worried as id had more bleeding with my first and she's almost 5 now so I went along to the EPU and was thinking great, I'll get to see my baby sooner.... was told baby was measuring at 6+2 and could my dates have been wrong but i knew they weren't... nothing could have prepared me for the next 48 hours. Absolutely soul destroying losing that baby. I'm petrified it's going to happen again. Praying for a rainbow baby this time round xx

@SMG1992 i’m only a day past you and have no symptoms!
It’s weird because my test today was so dark and the positive line came up quicker than the control line but nothing is different. With my last pregnancy I had cramping and really sore boobs and nips for a week before I got a positive and the positive was so so faint. I also felt so sick after a few sips of alcohol during the days I was still testing negative.
It’s weird how different it can be!
I’m keen to ‘feel’ pregnant but also I hope I don’t get morning sickness this time 🤞

@HannahLouD yes, constant erect nipples here too, painful boobs too!

Lots of cramping on my left side. Freaking me out a little (well a lot) as can't remember cramping this much with my last one, but maybes that's a good thing 🤞

@Albiboba I guess as our tests are dark that’s still a good sign for now
I’m sure when I get morning sickness I’ll wish I didn’t have it so I just need to relax for now
I kind of want to just wish the next couple of months away

@sarahg87 yes I'm left side today too

Yeh I’m left sided too!!! It’s strange.

I feel shattered but I usually blame the nightshifts!

also feel hungry but couldn’t tell u what I want to eat!!

my scan is 8th June! I think I may need a reassurance before then!

I only took a clear blue one that said pregnant tempted to get the weeks one!

Hey 👋 am I ok to join?
I'm 5 weeks 2 days, got a good strong positive end of last week so keeping fingers crossed 🤞 for a sticky bean.
I'll be booking an early scan, I'm thinking around 7 or 8 weeks.
Current due date is 10th December.

Would love to join the Facebook group or WhatsApp as well if that's ok?

I'm 38, this will be my third pregnancy x

Hi @LegalLights , congratulations 🥳 here's the WhatsApp link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JLV9nLfcCYxJzKPCOLsUVA

@s14a Congratulations! That seems to be quite common from what I’ve seen?
Although according to the NHS website I should have been 6+1 but I had worked it out that I should be 5+5 so I was surprised that I’m measuring so bang on! Just need to wait til tomorrow to hear when my follow up scan will be now!
