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

Has anyone got any rubbish pregnancy symptoms, I'm really struggling this time around!

With my DD, I had bleeding between 8-12 weeks which was stressful but apart from that nothing.

This time I'm 5+6 and I've got nausea 24/7, I'm being sick on occasion, if I don't eat every other hour my stomach is absolute agony with hunger cramps to the point I want to be sick, but I can barely eat because otherwise it gives me the worst stomachache! I've now also developed heartburn the last 2 days which I'm so annoyed about because I didn't have it until 33 weeks in my last pregnancy and honestly just can't 😭 I'm so grateful to be pregnant but I am not enjoying it so far!
Sorry to moan I just feel like this is so early to feel like this!

Also, @Lauren0506 been thinking of you, hope everything is well ❤️💐

@icallshade hey hun, all good now Thankyou, didn’t get a scan as I’m to early but hoping for one next week, everything has calmed down now, spoken to the midwife and she said what I’m experiencing is normal, as long as I’m not bleeding to not worry, did a test today and it’s back to 3+ the symptoms are bad for me also hun, iv started with heartburn aswell, had it with my son but not this early :-( xx

Hi Ladys I hope we are all ok?

Had my HCG bloods done yesterday at 5 weeks 6 days came back today at 17999

So for my symptoms are tired achy legs, wanting to eat more food, body aches and slight cramps like I have done a workout, struggling when going out for walks feel tired and out of breath. A mix between constipation and loose bowels, trapped wind but also gassy too. Erect nipples. When touch the boobs they feel tender and more heavy. Acne breakout on face, veins more visible on my body

No sickness, or food aversions yet or cravings I'm 6 weeks today so I suppose still have these to come

@Lauren0506 glad its looking more positive for you now, no pun intended!!

I just orderer some more pregnancy pillows as the spd has started ramping up already (my first baby they were shocked how early it started at 12 weeks, now its bloody 6 weeks!) As i know just how bad its likely to get ive happily dropped a ton of £ on pregnancy pillows and told my partner we will be doing whatever it takes to make me more comfortable this time! When i was looking i found some wedge shaped pillows that are meant to help heartburn, only like £20 from amazon, might be worth a try if youre suffering?

@Lauren0506 this is amazing news! It’s so scary the first 12 weeks.

i have my second HCG blood test this morning and should hopefully get the results this afternoon. I’m terrified. I’m expecting the worse after last two MC’s. I have slight symptoms but not much.

@Dogscanlookup it’s so worrying isn’t it, ah bless you least not long to wait. I had my blood test over the bank holiday so had to wait 4 days for results. How far gone do you think you are xx

@Lauren0506 happy it's looking more positive for you :)

I got a 3 + this morning at 21DPO - I was still 2 - 3 yesterday. I'm not buying anymore tests!

@curiouscat1987 i'm already using my pregnancy pillow, DP had been using it but my right side/hip has been so sore and it's already helped with that!

@Molly4689 Thankyou so am I. Just another 34 weeks to get through now 🤣
so happy you got your 3+ I stopped to, it’s such a worrier (if that’s a word). That’s how I pin pointed down to 5 weeks on Sunday as I was 2-3 on the Saturday and 3+ on the Sunday. Have you got booked in with the midwife yet, I’m their next Monday xx

@Lauren0506 I'm a worrier too! Thanks, I've booked in for the 1st May when I'll be 8 weeks, I was going to wait but didn't want to end up with a very late booking app or 12 week scan as that happened last time. I'm with the same midwife that I had for my DS and she was amazing.

I'm having a scan tomorrow so I can be prescribed progesterone but I anticipate they'll want me to go back in a week or so because tomorrow will be too early to see a heart beat. I'm grateful for the early scan but also worried they won't show what they should!

@Molly4689 oh bless you! It’s nice when you know somebody and been through it before with them, ah is that a private scan or NHS? I had an early scan with my son as I had recurrent miscarriage before but because I had a live birth the midwife said they might not accept the referral but she said il try and sort something for you so hopefully get it next week for reassurance. I think I was 7 weeks before I see my sons heartbeat and I cried lol let me know how you get on :-) xx

NHS scan luckily. It's worth pushing for if you'd like one.

I had one miscarriage before DS but then also bled with my DS. The NICE guidance changed right around that time so I argued for them to prescribe Progesterone on the basis of that and they did. They've said they will again this time too but only after a scan. I saw my son's at 6 +2 and also cried and I'm not normally a crier! Let me know how you get on too :)

Hi ladies, can I join? I got my very faint BFP on Thursday last week. Currently I'm 4w +1 (16DPO). AF was due yesterday. Iv had three consecutive miscarriages. 1st loss was a MMC at 9 weeks. And the next two was at 5 weeks. As you can imagine im absolutely bricking it and soooo anxious. EPAU have me booked in for a scan at 6 weeks. Here's my latest test from this morning. Still worrying about the line.

Welcome and congrats

Sorry to hear about your 2 loses

HCG rises 48/72 hours so best to look at the lines every 3 days that's where your see progression

Mine got darker from 18 dpo and dye steal and 3+ on digital 24 dpo 5th April

@UnicornPrincessSarah thank you ☺️ yes I need to try settle with the tests but it's so hard when you expect the worse. I'm testing twice a day 😩. Comparing my line to others at my stage.

I was the same as started testing 22nd march and carried on until 5th April.
sometimes 2 or 3 times a day lol

Now I'm having my next scan 24th April at 8 weeks and had my bloods done I'm just going to try stay positive and hope for the best.

@UnicornPrincessSarah bless you. It's so stressful isn't it. I'm having my 6 week scan on 23rd April x

@Lauren0506 honestly all day I’ve been in such a state. But my HCG has come back at 939 which she said is really good and I have a scan booked for tomorrow! I think I’m around 4 +5? Still so early so not sure what they’re expecting to see tomorrow.
i can’t believe you had to wait four days… that’s literal torture!

Hello! Finally got strong lines on a test yesterday so my husband now believes I'm pregnant 🤣😆 4+5 I think. No symptoms yet apart from raised resting heart rate on my Fitbit! I have had a chemical pregnancy before so will get happier this weekend once past five weeks!

Hahha my hubby didnt believe till i had my early scan lol

You are still very early and think symptoms will come and go this early on

Sending you big hug and here's to a happy and healthy 8 months

@Quolla ah nice to see you here! Glad hubby finally believes it 😂

Hi I have exactly the same symptoms as you pretty much word for word! 5+3 today, eating like a horse and mainly craving sugar, sensitive nipples, sometimes loose stool sometimes constipated, very bloated and feeling wobbly, my face is an oil slick. Very limited sickness, basically only when I bend over and fold my tummy. But yesterday I went out for an hour and a half walk and that basically fixed all my sickness so it's gone for now :)
Only thing is I'm now getting really bad acid reflux 😩 can't be anything to do with the entire Lindt Bunny I ate yesterday could it?!?

Oh no lol, i was finding last night after dinner I was quite acidy

Are you having pains in your legs when walking to like they feel tight?

@ninetales @UnicornPrincessSarah
I'm feeling hungry all the time, watery mouth, very tired in the afternoon but apart from that pretty normal. Have started to have some food aversions, just want all the carbs and can't stand chocolate!

The hunger is real! But it goes from nothing to suddenly I just need to eat and my tummy is rumbling like crazy!
Does anyone else wake up at the moment, then remember they’re pregnant and it feels so surreal?

I had a scan today. Dated 5+3 (I thought I was 5 +1) and showed a sac and and embryo. No heartbeat (as expected) but they're scanning me again next Friday so hopefully will see one then.

I feel so ill this afternoon, currently sat with my sick bowl 😩Is anybody else having nausea already? Hope everybody's feeling ok.
