November 2025

[Esssa]

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.

Congratulations! You must be over the moon 💕

Wow I log back on after being away over Easter and there are 876 new messages, I need to catch up! Hope everyone is doing well.

Just had my booking in appointment which was actually really nice, went with my partner and it got us both really excited. We’ve had a terrible weekend as he’s found out he’s being made redundant so it was nice to focus on the pregnancy and think about the next steps. It all felt more relaxed and less scary than in my first pregnancy and hopefully I’ll need fewer appointments.

Nausea/sickness is generally bearable and much easier than with my first so far. I had that one full day of being sick and otherwise I’ve just been sick occasionally and then felt better. I have almost constant background nausea but most of the time I can manage it by eating (so am just constantly eating which is not great). Still got very specific aversions/cravings and don’t like thinking about food until it’s right in front of me. But when it’s the right food at the right time, it tastes SO good and makes me feel less sick instantly. Am absolutely exhausted and having an afternoon nap most days!

@CJHR18 congratulations to you on your 12 week scan 💕

@xTinkerbell hope all goes well for you too on friday 🤞🏻💕

Thank you so much everyone 🥰🥰 xx

@CJHR18 congratulations!! What a relief!

I had a scan today - measuring 9 weeks exactly which is a day ahead of what I thought and all looking good. Can't believe it. Still cry every time I'm in the scanning room - I think it will always be triggering for me after losses but really starting to think this baby is a strong one ❤️✨️

@XXXXXMummyTo5XXXXX how are you getting on?

@SoOtterlyLovely thanks for asking it means alot.. well tbh not good physically or mentally, im struggling to eat or drink (not due to sickness either) but noticed its like i have a decreased appetite which i have never experienced before 🤷🏻‍♀️ been feeling really tired too & feeling thirsty alot but no matter what i drink, it doesnt seem to quench my thirst if that makes sense? & i suppose its just had a negative impact on my mental health if im honest, but got something positive to mention, i went for a scan yesterday when i should of been 9+1 but instead measuring 8+6 so seen little baba & heard the heartbeat which was nice 🥰 got my booking appointment next tuesday on 29th as i only made the referal yesterday.. How are you doing? 💕

@XXXXXMummyTo5XXXXX that sounds really tough, sorry to hear. I know the thirst feeling, then drinking annoys me because I have to wee so much! Are you managing 3 small meals? Have you had much sickness with other pregnancies?
I'm really hungry but then when I eat am so overly full and bloated so trying to have small meals but it's tough constantly thinking about portion size etc.

Really good news about the scan - sounds like it came at just the right time! ❤️

all looking good, baby due November 4th

@SoOtterlyLovely tbh not even managing 3 small meals a day, im only just managing the 1 if im honest but can't have anything heavy either :/ just never experienced this in a pregnancy before! its crazy especially when i usually love my food & to eat 😂 i have another scan in another 2 weeks time on 12th May x

Sorry to hear you are feeling so rubbish I'm glad to see you back though was worried something bad had happened 🖤 so glad your scan went well, my moods have been very up and down with feeling sick all the time. I'm 10 weeks on Monday so I'm really hoping we are all out of this soon and start to feel a bit better

Yes! 10/11/25 after two miscarriages and 2 years infertility xx

Good morning ladies! A question: anyone else was recommended by midwifes to take aspiring 75mg daily from 12 weeks onwards? I was told to do so being 40+ and first time pregnant. Started taking it but still a bit unsure?! Those who were pregnant before, did it really help avoid preeclampsia risk? No side effects?
On a positive note, our NIPT at 10 weeks and a 12 week scan all went well! Was somehow showing one week ahead, at 13+2!

Yeah I was told that I’ll be taking the aspirin from 12 weeks because of a history of high blood pressure in the family, totally normal if they recommend it

Thanks @F1boxbox ! I will stick to it!

@Nikkix86 just thought it would be best with my moods to stay quiet and just read the thread but not comment lol so i could stay up to date with everyone... im praying for the day i get my appetite back 😆 have you had your booking appointment yet? x

I have I had it last week, all went well I've got my 12 week scan on the 12th may but I did book another private one for next Saturday 😅

I'm also on aspirin from 12 weeks until about 36 weeks she said as I'll be having another c section. I had pre eclampsia in my first pregnancy and have high blood pressure anyway

@Nikkix86 ohhh thats exciting!! i've got mine this tuesday so im assuming midwife will book me in for my 12 week scan at same time haha.. its crazy how we are nearly 3 months into our pregnancies isnt it? 😆💕 n'awww well hopefully everything goes well for you hun ❤️

It's feels like it's dragged and gone quick at the same time 🤣 just can't wait for us all to feel better so we can actually enjoy it 😅

Hi all! Due Nov 8 2025 but I have my dating scan this week! Cant wait but also so nervous. First baby for me xx

Hi @SWJ90 ! I'm due the day before you and have my scan tomorrow morning but this is my second. The nerves don't seem to get any better the more you have 😂

I’ve got my 12 wk scan tomorrow too xx

How are we all feeling and getting on?
Scan nerves kicking in here too.. got my 12 week scan a week tomorrow. I’ve being so tempted by a private one but held off! It’s baby no2 for me but still get nervous after a loss in 2020.

Also feeling sorry for myself as I’ve got a UTI so on antibiotics. Feeling anxious taking these and the 3 different anti-sickness meds I’ve tried that it’s going to have some affect on baby, but following doctors recommendations.

Symptom wise still really tired and the nausea is worse on and evening.. I’m hoping for some miracle that they will just go and I’ll feel ok again!

Hope you’re all doing ok x
