Anyone else for November 2025 yet? Technically I'm due Halloween but highly likely to be a first half of November baby assuming everything goes well. 3+6 today and I've known since Tuesday at 3+3! Roll on double figures and feeling a bit more secure in it all.

I think it's more like glandular fever in adults, those were the symptoms I had @Wishbone2023, but I'm immune suppressed as well so got a right dose of it. Hope you're feeling ok! x

God that sounds awful!! But reassuringly not how i feel right now, so ill take positives!

It sounds awful, can’t believe I haven’t heard of it before. This page is helpful https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cytomegalovirus-cmv/. But the advice doesn’t sound very easy or nice to follow with a toddler, no sharing and washing everything that might have saliva on!

Welcome @TryingforPositiveand tentative congrats. Also trying to stay sane and in fact sending myself bonkers so it’s not just you!

Hi all… looks like I could be joining you. Or December who knows! But going by LMP my EDD would be 29th Nov. I know the line is light, but period not due til Friday

I’m somebody that NEEDS to talk about things when they happen but I just can’t bring myself to do it to anyone who knows me right now 🥲 hoping this thread will help my burning desire to talk about it! this will be baby number 2 and my daughter will be 4 in May!

Yes! Congestion is common in 1st trimester. I’ve had it in my previous 2 pregnancies and now this one! Very frustrating. You can’t use much for it. It goes eventually

I had it too, especially at night. Didn't do much. Maybe use some salt water to gently unblock it/gargle throat? At least better than medicines

@Sezzywoo goodluck for your scan on friday 😁🤞🏼 its nice to know im not the only crazy 1 with a potential 6th baby on the way 😂 bit nervous as i had a misscarriage 5 days before christmas which was just short of 12 weeks ago, sooo :/ just taking it day by day for now. need to ring the recurrent misscarriage clinic to let them know and then they should book me in for a scan (i've had 4 misscarriages in total) how far along are you? or when should you be due? x

XMummyTo5X · 19/03/2025 10:23

@Nikkix86 understand how you are feeling right now believe me..but just take it day by day and hope for the best & positive outcome 🙏🏻 im due on 25th November which is my son's birthday 🥰

So hard isn't it, I want to be excited but I can't be this time because I was so gutted. I'm probably going to book an early scan for around 6-7 weeks if nothing happens before then to put my mind at rest. Aw that's so cute you are due on your son's birthday 🥰

@xTinkerbell have you got intouch with your doctor?

xTinkerbell · 19/03/2025 14:45

@XMummyTo5X waiting on a call back from epu.

I think it may have stopped

xTinkerbell · 19/03/2025 15:48

just had a call back, they can’t scan me until Tuesday

That's such a long time to wait I can't believe they can't see you before that

xTinkerbell · 19/03/2025 16:03

@Nikkix86 I know! She said they have nothing available until then but also said previous c sections give me a risk factor for an ectopic so it’s a long time to wait with that on my mind
