Due March 2025

[Zuzu2020]

Hi, just making a thread for babies due March 2025...

Its early I know..
Tested positive this morning at 9dpo.

Looking at a due date of 5/3/25

@ninaballerina12 that's brilliant! I'm so happy for you. Such a relief 🥰

That’s lovely news it will still be a touch and go few weeks but if there was anything alarming it would have shown up by now ….as for sickness try the anti sickness now as once it kicks in there’s little help from the anti sickness I took mine as a preventative treatment due to recurrent hg I was fine till week 7 light nausea I’m 8 weeks today and it’s ramped up yesterday have increased my Ondansetron so fingers crossed

@ninaballerina12 I'm glad everything so far is looking ok. X

🙋‍♀️ I’m 42, also older…. Due 27th March according to Flo.

I only tested for the first time in my life yesterday. We were trying I guess, in that now or never way / let fate take over and here we are. I feel pretty overwhelmed tbh.

I have no clue about anything though, so I’ve been reading through this thread for tips!

Hi @ConfusedCrab, glad to hear I’m not the only one in the 40+ group.

These kinds of groups are fantastic for support and advice - no such thing as a silly question. Though this group is so active at the moment that I’m struggling to keep up with all the comments!

Congratulations @ConfusedCrab

Ask any and all questions!?!

I've just been to the GP and now have cyclizine. I've not been able to go to work today because of the sickness and nausea

@sirensong Thank you! As I had a previous miscarriage and have had early bleeding this time as well, they offered it as there’s some evidence to show it helps in this specific scenario. There’s a really good Tommy’s article on progesterone - https://www.tommys.org/baby-loss-support/miscarriage-information-and-support/pregnancy-after-miscarriage/taking-progesterone-early-pregnancy#:~:text=Progesterone%20also%20helps%20your%20body,doctor%20for%20a%20particular%20reason.

They are scanning me again in a few weeks as the risk is that progesterone could also preserve an unviable pregnancy x

Hi!

Tentatively joining! I'm 4w 1d (I think) and looking like a due date of 30th March 2025. I got a positive test Friday (3w5d) which is very early so I'm a little nervous!! This was our first month TTC, so I feel so lucky but it's scaring me that it could all be too good to be true! I was crampy with really sore boobs for a couple days, but that's all stopped last night. I know symptoms will take a few weeks to kick in but this quiet stage is awful!

@veggiebuns congratulations! It's awful finding out so early because it just drags in but try to keep yourself busy while you still have the energy. I'm 6 wks tomorrow and the tiredness has really hit me over the last couple of days.

Hi veggiebuns, I'm the same as you, due date end of March! Also feeling pretty fed up with this early stage where nothing much happens, though guess we should be grateful that the nausea etc isn't too bad yet! I'm sure it will come in time, enjoy the lack of symptom whilst it lasts. Also I've bought some digital tests to do over the next couple of weeks so at least I have something to do and can track progression that way.

@jellyfish2 Thank you! I've returned to work today after a two week holiday so certainly lots to keep me busy. I know I'll be regretting my words when it hits, but right now I'd love to symptoms just for reassurance! I've already told my partner to remind of that when I'm exhausted and nauseous 😂

@CatmumTTC Absolutely need to appreciate this time while it lasts! I also have some digital tests so need to have will power and not use them all up in one go haha! That's how I ended up here! I said I wouldn't test early and I caved haha

@veggiebuns I think my nausea will be in full force soon enough, I've starting feeling it now and again. It's horrible. Though I had the worst nausea in my last pregnancy which ended in a missed miscarriage so sadly symptoms really don't determine how well a pregnancy is doing even if there's no bleeding or cramps 😔

@jellyfish2 I'm sorry about your previous loss! I appreciate you sharing, I think that was a reminder I needed to just take it as it comes and not get ahead of myself. This would be first baby and first month ttc so easier said than done but need to keep expectations in check💖

@veggiebuns I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine for you 🥰 I'm approaching with caution this time as I don't want to be completely blindsided again. It's a shame as its taken the excitement out of it this time around.

I found out at 3+5 and I'm now 7+6 so I feel like I've known for a century and it's still soooo early. 😭

@jellyfish2 @veggiebuns I also had a MMC after being nauseous for weeks, but I was equally nauseous in my successful pregnancy. Symptoms really don't mean very much - even "red flag" symptoms like bleeding and cramping are often ok (I also had bleeding in my successful pregnancy and absolutely none in the MMC). And being nauseous is correlated with successful pregnancy but so many people had dreadful nausea and still things went wrong.

You really do need to take each day as it comes, but try to be open to things going right as well. I wish I had spent more of my successful pregnancy just being in the moment and being happy, but it was right on the heels of the MMC so I was anxious the whole time. Now I feel like I just suffered unnecessarily (and if it had gone wrong then I would have had plenty of time to suffer at that point).

Remember it turns out right waaaaay more often than it goes wrong. ❤️ Important to remember that Mumsnet is an atypical sample in that regard because lots of us end up here looking for community after experiencing something going wrong.

@Melusina123 thanks for that, I really needed to remind myself that there's more chance on things being ok with no other symptoms telling me otherwise. Sorry you've been through a MMC too, it's horrendous.

I think once I get the 12wk scan out the way I'll feel a bit better as that's when I found out before. Hopefully we'll all have healthy babies in March 🥰

@veggiebuns Congratulations! I was in the same boat as you 2 years ago exactly! First time TTC with first baby and we were successful. I don’t think I really believed I could be so very blessed until I actually held her in my arms. She is now a gorgeous smiley 16mth old so it can happen! 😍

Wonderful news @ninaballerina12! I’m so happy for you! What a relief it must be. xx

Hey, just found this thread and thought I'd join, I'm 6+3 due about 14th March, found out really early so feels like I've lived about 3 years in the last 3 weeks 😅 waiting for my first appointment, very mild symptoms mostly don't feel pregnant at all which makes me feel so anxious and worried that something is wrong, anyone else like this?

Thank you so much for sharing your story, I really appreciate it. It sounds like you went through an extremely difficult time and have done amazingly to get to where you are today. 🩷

I have been trying get out and exercise as much as possible and use headspace for meditation and breathing exercises.

I have spoken to my GP previously re my MH, which I normally focused on my health but since becoming pregnant, I have been worrying about all sorts of issues that are completely out of my control and end up in an endless loop of panic and anxiety. Like you said in your post, there are days when I just want to crawl out of my own skin.

I really hope the anxiety subsides soon but will absolutely raise with the midwife at my booking appointment in a couple of weeks. Thanks again 🩷

I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and don't really feel pregnant, the odd moment feeling a bit sicky and slightly sensitive nipples but that's it so far.

What are people's thoughts on pregnancy vitamins?

I've been taking folic acid since September, and have upped this to the prescription 5mg on discovering I was pregnant and anyone with 30 plus bmi should have a stronger dose

However looking on amazon there's all sorts of others? I struggle with anything bigger than a paracetamol tablet and gag like mad on the plastic coated tablets, and I can remember picking a pack of the pregnacare vitamins up for someone once and was horrified at the size of the tablets

Diet isn't the best so feel like I should take something, but there's no use if I can't swallow them, especially as I'm feeling queasy in general

Struggling to drink cups of tea, usually I live off it! Trying to force down a cracker or 2 when I start to feel slightly hungry, had a couple of baked potatoes for tea with some butter and black pepper, that went down quite nicely

I spoke to a pharmacy about hay-fever tablets and they said no 😭 that isn't helping as all the snot from the hay-fever is adding to feeling sick

Will join the FB group once I've had the scan, don't want to tempt fate and so far only told my mum and DH, so don't want to end up coming across someone I know in there

Had a banging headache all afternoon from the weather, I'm massively prone to them and struggling with only being able to take paracetamol

The feeling sick is a horrible cycle, you don't want to eat because you feel sick, but feel sick because of not eating. Not actually been sick, yet, although probably not quite in the window for that hitting. Think smell is starting to increase, my cups of tea at work smelt "weird" and unappealing, although smelt the milk at home and that was OK so maybe theirs was about to turn

Good evening all,
Due date around 19th March!
Nervous as hell!
I'm the past 15 months had 2 miscarriages and an ectopic!
Got a scan on Thursday. Going to Magaluf on Friday for a hen so that'll be fun 😅
Hope everyone is ok xx
The fb page link isn't working. Good that it's very private though as last thing I'd want is someone finding out I was pregnant. Haven't even told my mum or sister yet! Xxx

@PlumpHobbit you can get pill cutters to split to a manageable size if that helps your decision.

@MrsH1990 welcome and good luck. You're overdue some!
