Dec-Christmas Babys 2024

[UnicornPrincessSarah]

Made this extra group for us ladies who are due in Dec

Little about me I'm 34 nearly 35 DH 39 nearly 4

TTC for 3 months, My rainbow baby after a loss at 18 at 6/7 weeks

I'm from a town called Dagenham in the UK

Can chat about anything you like or if you feel you need to vent lol

Think once symptoms start it will feel more real well I hope and more ressurauring for us

Ok so I just did 2 clearblue and feel a lot better the test line appeared instantly even before the control line did. Nice and solid. What do you think?

@emmies86 They look very good i did the bottom one myself a week ago and wasn't that bright then for me

I've been getting similar! Lots of "activity" down there, almost like there's more blood flow, a thrumming sensation, tugging and pulling, bit like gas but lots of tiny bubbles rather than painful bloating. Honestly it is quite weird, I wasn't expecting to feel anything at all this early on!

Can I tentatively join? I've had lines for a few days but a clear positive this morning (11 DPO and first day of missed period - I ovulate late) due around the 9th December.

Second baby, third pregnancy. My first ended in miscarriage and I have a 1 year old DS.

Lots of symptoms - sore boobs, tugging and sharp pains, pressure on one side nearly threw up my lunch today. Luckily I kept notes on my phone from my last two pregnancies and so far these are in keeping with the symptoms I had with DS so I have my fingers crossed.

@Molly4689 Welcome and congratulations here is to a positive thinking of a happy and healthy 9 months.

So girlys I would say the week my period was due last week is when I had the cramps aswell, now its just trapped gas, erect nipples, slight fatigue and visible veins, I'm 4 weeks 4/5 days today hopefully have some pregnancy ones show soon so don't drive myself to crazy lol

Can I tentatively join? 2nd pregnancy first ended in a MMC end of last year. 12dpo today and 4 weeks pregnant. After last time absolutely terrified of losing another baby and am constantly testing!!

lots of symptoms, sore boobs, tiredness, cramps and occasional nausea so hoping this is a good sign!

@tryingtoconceive2012 Welcome and congrats, sorry to here about your MMC

The cramping and sore boobs I had around the same time as you they started to dye off just after 14 dpo but have read its all normal and can come and go

Todays test so line is deff dark but this has confirmed the ink in my new tests are not that good as very patchy.

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

Took another clearblue and still looking good I have a call back from the GP later about my HCG blood test results from thursday last week. It will be interesting to see what they say.

@emmies86 @UnicornPrincessSarah I’ve refrained from testing so far today! Going to try my hardest not to obsess over it anymore as it’s sending me nuts 🤣

How is everyone doing today? Xx

@dreammama This was my last strip testing holding out for the digital now

Struggling with fatigue today I had my docs today wasn't really helpful have left me do hcg but she said they may reject it when it gets sent to clinic

@emmies86 ah that's great I suppose they have risen as well by then to now

@UnicornPrincessSarah why would they reject it? My call isn't until 6.45 so feels like a long wait. I am feeling emotional and anxious today. Doctors are weaning me off my anxiety meds for the pregnancy so it's been harder the last 2 days as I'm on less than half the dose now.

@dreammama I tried not to test but I had a wet feeling between my legs and even though it was nothing I tested.

@emmies86 im not to sure that is what my gp said the clinic that takes the bloods after may reject testing it, oh no I hope you finally got your call?

I keep getting the wet feeling to but just milky discharge lol

Hi ladies

Just wondering if anyone has give birth or had there midwife care given to them by St Thomas' Hospital in westmister london? and if they have what there experiences where like

Hi all, just catching up with all the lovely December baby posts on here :)

My anxiety seems to completely stopped… the bloating has definitely started and I honestly look 12 weeks pregnant today (it is baby #3 and I had a Chinese for dinner but STILL!!)

I turned 29 this weekend and am counting down the days until my first appointment because I just can’t wait to get the ball rolling :)

Hope everyone’s anxiety is slowly going as the days progress. I’m already googling baby-related things like VBA2C (what I’d be hoping for!) etc etc and I’m probably annoying my husband already haha.

Bar bloating my symptoms are pretty light. The cramping has completely stopped but I definitely have some of those symptoms you mentioned @ninetales that ‘thrumming’ sensation!

Keep on trucking mamas!

Blood results were all good they just confirmed I was pregnant not figures given.
Haven't tested today trying not to. Still getting crampy pains but it's possibly gas or things getting ready to stretch and grow.
I woke up with back pain that's a new one for me.

How is everyone?

Ah thats good shame didn't give you the numbers, Had some gas pains sunday in belly finally went after managed to release the gas.

A new symptom for me itchy skin and nipples, my thighs when touching them feel tight/ bruised. Today had loose bowels and have been more hungry and very sleepy I woke up 7am but feel like I need sleep now 12pm lol

My period like cramps and back pain stopped few days after my first positive test actually

I just have my digital to do at the weekend

@UnicornPrincessSarah when are you 5 weeks? I'm 5 weeks Saturday.
I remember itchy skin with my first I used I think it was Aveeno for itchy skin and childrens antihistamines as doctors recommended it.

@emmies86 It seems to be coming and going and in different places lol, having some pressure/ twinges in pubic hair area this afternoon to left side.

Im either 5 weeks today or 4 weeks 6 days

I had sharp twinges in my groin area last night and this morning. Are you waiting to get 3+ on digital like me? I've had 1-2 and 2-3 but really want 3+

My anxiety is through the roof after my miscarriage last time hope it gets easier but I suspect it won’t! Feeling all sorts of symptoms compared to last time, already feeling nauseous, sore 🍈and absolutely exhausted and tests seem to be getting darker so hoping these are all good signs!

I haven't done a digital yet but hoping for the 3+

How many weeks are you today? the anxiety is very hard to overcome and I'm not sure if we ever do

Only 4 weeks yesterday! Found out super early at 9dpo so just hoping I can get through these next few weeks until I have a scan at the EPU!
