Due January 2024 🎉

[ThomasinaLivesHere]

I can see one for this so in my excitement thought I’d start one. Due date is 1st Jan for me 😊

I’m 37 and pregnant with no. 2. We tried for 4 months so lucky not too long.

So sorry you've been going through this @Vikki7. Take care of yourself, will be thinking of you and hoping you come back with positive news x

@Vikki7 So sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself x

So sorry @Vikki7 you are having to go through this stress and 🤞 for some positive news xx

So sorry to hear @Vikki7 ❤️ hope you get some good news xx

@AmyLT congratulations!! Double celebrations in your house 🥳being a mummy is the best ever, buying and moving house is a little bit more stressful 😂😂

@CMG92 I’m the same with the boobs lol plus I’m running around after a 13month old so I don’t have a minute to think of if I’m feeling anything..except tiredness and a headache 😅very true haha we’ll be complaining once they hit I’m sure

That was me last year. Sold two flats, bought a new family house and had DD.

It's been a hectic 3 years as got pregnant with DD just after our honeymoon so it's been get married, get pregnant, buy and renovate house, celebrate DD 1st birthday, get pregnant again (there will be a 20 month gap between them). 2025 I'll rest 🤣

I've been having hot flashes over night. Don't remember if I had them with my daughter

@vikki7 Sorry to hear that. It is tough. I am in a similar situation to you. I had what was brown spotting which turned to red blood. I had an early scan today at what I think is 5+4 due to previous ectopic. They weren't sure they could see anything either. There was a very small blob which could be the gestational sac or could be a pocket of blood. Had bloods taken and now waiting to hear where they are at. Currently a pregnancy of unknown location. Will be in limbo really until I have a second set of bloods on Sunday to compare.

Feel free to message if you want to talk!

@Vikki7 and @FingersCrossedXXX I’m so sorry about what you’re both going through. Sending you all the strength and love to get through it and will say a prayer for things to work out for you xx

@FingersCrossedXXX @Vikki7 I'm so sorry to hear about your scans. I hope you both have good news at the next ones xxxx

@FingersCrossedXXX @Vikki7 so sorry to hear the uncertainty your both going through, sending hugs xx

Thank you ladies.

My HCG levels came back okay but my progesterone is low (only at 12) which likely means it will not be viable and will either be ectopic or miscarriage. Typically the bleeding seems to have stopped today as well so I don't know what that means.

I wish you all the best of luck in your pregnancies xxx

Hi everyone!
Got my positive on Tuesday..
I am around 4 weeks 4 days which works out I’ll be due 8th Jan!
i have been feeling very anxious since finding out hope that’s a normal feeling and it eventually wears off.
I have no kids as yet so this will be my first
😊

Hello!! I'm new joining too.

Similarly this will be my first. First positive after over a year of ttc. App says im 5 weeks today, due 6th January. So feeling anxious but also excited 😊

Congrats everyone, feeling not as alone after reading your posts and it is comforting to share this news as only me and my fiance know so far!

@FingersCrossedXXX love and hugs to you xx

Welcome @EL27 @M2B269 !! Congratulations! @EL27 I had major anxiety the first few days too, it did ease but perfectly understandable why you’d be feeling like that. Sending best wishes to you both Xx

Has anyone else’s mood been a little grouchy/off? I feel fine at work but then I come home and my poor partner gets something like the PMS version of me. Tired and in bed by 8:30, a bit sensitive, no libido (which I think is 100% normal in the first trimester right?)… I feel for him this week!

@FingersCrossedXXX and @Vikki7 so sorry to hear your struggles. Sending huge hugs.

I am now 14dpo and period due date so feeling super anxious to get through this milestone... lines still getting darker so that helps ease the anxiety for a little while each morning. Also nauseous first thing before I eat and absolutely knackered! Boobs aren't as sore as with my first which was making me feel worried but apparently that's normal second time around... they do feel buoyant for want of a better word! 😅

I should know this from my first but when is the best time to get an early scan if you want to see heartbeat?

Congrats everyone! @sashastuck yes that’s the same as me, in the evenings I have barely any patience. I think it’s the fatigue? I can’t hold conversations and just want to be quiet. Like I feel introverted?

My libido has gone too! After all the ttc, I’m afraid to dtd now.

Morning all, I'm feeling so emotional again today 😢 Has anyone told anyone other than their partners? My DH is really good at taking care of me but just feel like I need the support of my mum or my sister but am I tempting fate by telling them too early? This is my 1st so all overwhelming and completely new to me!

@Flossiepot i told my mum at about 6/7 weeks with my first. My DH was away with work and I was on my own and needed someone to talk to who had been through it and could say what was normal.

We didn’t tell anyone with our pregnancy in feb and I then lost it and we had to break the sad news to close family with no happy side. So this time we’ve told parents, siblings and grandparents straight away. I don’t see any harm in telling people that you would tell about a miscarriage if it did happen.

@TunnocksTCake Well I’m assuming period didn’t come, you made it through the milestone!! I’ve done some reading around the early scans (anyone correct me if I’m wrong) and I think it’s possible for a heartbeat to be seen from after 5 weeks but you’re safer to wait until about 7 weeks to avoid any confusion/worry. My scan is for 7+6 x

@lucya66 glad it’s not just me! I’m definitely feeling more introverted too! Been enjoying just chilling out in bed alone when usually partner and I are inseparable!

@buckingmad that’s a different perspective to think about. I bet seeing their delighted faces this time made you even more glad you told them! 😍

I’ve got a family wedding when I’ll be 10.5 weeks, debating in my head whether to tell them then as I won’t be drinking and potentially could have a bump? It’s not as easy decision @Flossiepot but if you want support around you then do it. Ultimately your choice and would be lovely to be able to talk openly about it xx

@Flossiepot I’ve told my best friend and someone at work because I need someone to look out for me 😂 DH doesn’t want anyone to know but he knows I’ve told my closest friend. I need someone to talk to whereas he’s quieter and goes through it all in his head. We’re not telling parents this time until the first scan after last time with my chemical. I was trying to tell my mum about it ending but she only heard the first part and started celebrating which didn’t make it any easier

Hello ladies, please can I join? I got my BFP today and my Flo app is predicting due date as 16 January. Tentatively very, very excited - I’m 37 and was terrified that I’d left it far too late.

So sorry @FingersCrossedXXX and @Vikki7 . Hope you’re taking care of yourself.

@Flossiepot I think it’s fine to tell people who will be supportive early especially if you’d want to tell them if something did go wrong.

@AuntFlosmiserableniece Congrats! I’m 37 too 😊.

Happy wkend everyone congratulations new joiners. It is so personal isn't it who you tell and when. Don't think anyone should feel pressured to keep it secret if they don't want to it is a big thing. I don't regret telling the people I told before I miscarried as I appreciated the support. Think will tell my parents a bit later on this time though - perhaps when it's my mum's birthday mid June.

Up again at 5 something. Continuing to have achey hips and lower back hopefully just the hormones and everything stretching.
