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

Hey all, also jumping over from the TTC group! I’m kind of relieved to know it’s not just me obsessing over line depth!
These were three tests this morning all from the same FMU - the bottom one looked negative to me, while the middle was quite faint but clear blue was pretty obvious. I’m 14/15 DPO. Will text again tomorrow to see comparison but confused at the difference despite the same wee used!

@dogscanlookup
Congratulations, nice to see you over in this group. How are you feeling?
My lines at 14dpo were the same

Hi everyone, been pretty quiet on here for a few days as my anxiety has been horrendous. Pretty much convinced myself I was about to miscarry (I’m 5+3 today) as my cheapie test strips look like they’ve been fading each day. Today I managed to get hold of a Boots test and it’s a dye stealer? Is anyone able to shed some light - is it only a dye stealer as it’s a more sensitive test or should I ignore the IC’s and deem them less reliable? Pics attached x

Joining here from the ttc March/April group , I’m guessing I’m 15/16 dpo but never got a positive OPK/LH test but this was my pregnancy test this morning! 🖤

Opps it’s appeared 2x -.- xx

Hi @Lauren0506 Did you get your 3+ today?

I did and also now getting the hook effect on my wondfos

How you today? I'm still struggling to walk legs killing me and my heel, and the fatigue is so bad not really got any other symptoms, some cramps and tenderness in belly now and again

Welcome and congratulations, what is your estimated due date?

@UnicornPrincessSarah hey no I didn’t still at 2-3 so hopefully be tomo or Monday. Yeah iv had some cramps but nothing bad, sore boobs though omg 😥! X

Hi fellow cycle date buddy, so it looks like we are now maybe getting the hook effect, this happened to me this morning after getting a dye stealer yesterday on wondfo and 3+ today on digital,

so what I did was mix 50% urine with 50% water and then my test line was darker then control line again.

Please don't worry it could be the HCG is to high now for the cheapies.

My dye stealers yesterday undiluted

So I think its time to step away from the strips now

Oh dont get to down about that apparently it depends how much HCG you have as to if you get 3+ I'm getting dye sealers and hook effect now on wondfo, so think that's a sign my hcg maybe higher.

Are you going to do another digital or just going to wait now? oh no not the boobs sending hug x

I was the same today but I think I'm going to wait until next weekend for my 3+ 😊

Symptoms are still cramping and breast tenderness. Managed to gut the house today but then had a nap 🤣 xx

Welcome and congratulations

Bless you! Haha iv done some jobs but nothing much lol iv had a nap to haha! They are getting to regular lol xx

@UnicornPrincessSarah it’s saying 12th December but I duno as ovulation wasn’t confirmed and only bleed once since implant was taken out on 1st March and then bleed on 7th xxx

Anyone else finding their jeans already starting to feel tight? Not sure if its bloating or weight gain or both, but i wore my bigger jeans today and had to have them undone 5 minutes later! Then went on a panic buying spree of maternity leggings online 🤣

Doesnt help that im coming down with a cold type virus again that ive not been able to fully shake off since october last year. Recommendations to boost my immune system gratefully accepted!

Speaking of which, is everyone taking a prenatal multi vitamin? Im just taking folic acid (I also take vit d, fish oil and zinc even when not pregnant too), but was reading about needing choline etc?

Oh also are people using any tracking apps and if so what ones? Im using what to expect!

@curiouscat1987 I’m taking the Zita West first trimester prenatals and omegas called Vital DHA. Quite pricey but as I suffer from recurrent loss I wanted something a bit more “high end” I guess x

I just had a quick look and saw it contains vit a, just wanted to make sure youre aware as the nhs recommend you dont take vit a during pregnancy as it can be dangerous. You probably already know but thought should mention it just in case! 😊

Hey I did another this morning and was 3+. :) how you doing xx

I've literally just come on to apologise for being so quiet, I am really struggling with nausea and was sick for the first time yesterday. Woken up feeling so sick again today. I had no nausea in my first pregnancy so this is all new to me and I am hating it! I'm 5+3.
Anyone struggled before with nausea/sickness? Any tips to manage it welcome!

@emmies86 thanks! It’s nice to join familiar names too! I’m feeling ok… better this morning, did a clear blue and cheapie test and both lines looked darker! Having bloods tomorrow to confirm levels of HCG and then they’ll decide how early to scan me.
hows it all going for you? How far along are you now?

Anything gingery is good for nausea! Maybe get some ginger biscuits to nibble on or something?

This actually happened for me around implantation now using hairband to hold my jeans up until I go shopping lol, deff the bloat I think.

I take vit C tablet every day as helps immune system

Im only taking folate natural form of folic, iron tablets, vitamin d3 with k2 and vit c, and from 12 weeks will take omega 3 again

Hello! I'm very tentatively joining with a due date of Dec 16! Not really trusting the process just yet though 😅 my last pregnancy was three years ago and completely symptomless until I could feel him kick so I'm interested to see how this one goes!

5 weeks 2 days.
Having a scan at 6 weeks 2 day.
Having nausea and sore breasts but apart from that all good here
