I couldn’t see an existing thread, so I thought I’d start one. If there is one already going, please point me in the right direction - though I imagine there are not many people due in this month just yet!!

I just found out I’m pregnant. I’ve calculated my due date to be the 1st of January 2027.

This is my third pregnancy. It’s come as a bit of a shock, but a very happy one! My first two were quite close together, and I thought I’d left the baby phase behind. I also gave away all our baby stuff already 🫠

It would be nice to chat to others in the same stage of pregnancy as we go through it all together 🥰

@mamatotwo98i have heard the jump from 2-3 is easier 😅 mine are 3 & 8 months 🙈 this is a surprise baby for me too! Sometimes I think it’s the best way because I am actually unhinged when I’m TTC. That does sound hard, but you’ve done it before so you can do it again 😊 it all goes so quickly too xx

@Teresa7i promised myself i would be healthy this time & it’s already going out the window! Eating is the only way to get through the sickness sometimes xx

Due to my last loss I am having more pregnancy care this time. Managed to speak to someone today, so am now on aspirin and progesterone and looks like NHS will scan me at 8 weeks.

Will probably book a private scan around 6 weeks, so we can hopefully confirm there is someone there and have a brief moment of relief.

Really hope this is our time 🤞🏻 It does feel better having more proactive care in place.

Lillybobs86 · 07/05/2026 18:55

I had a scan on Friday just to check all in right place and then I have another one on Monday.
i probably will book a private one in between that one and NHS 12 week scan for anxiety’s sake.

Im on progesterone pessaries too but they asked me to start aspirin at 12 weeks.

Lillybobs86 · 07/05/2026 21:47

Forgot to say @Bluehouse14im also 39! 😬

Ah! Snap! I keep trying to remind myself of all the babies born to women aged 40 and above but it definitely does increase the anxiety a bit doesnt it. Fingers crossed xx

Sparkles512 · 08/05/2026 20:07

How is everyone doing?

I am 6 weeks and feel so exhausted and so sick 😞 I have my booking appointment inadvertently week so will hopefully get a scan date booked soon

pinkskiesx · 08/05/2026 20:10

I’ve had HCG bloods taken and they’re low so things aren’t looking good for me unfortunately 😞

Hope everyone else is doing well!

erihskreb · 08/05/2026 20:30

sorry to hear that @pinkskiesx Flowers

I am feeling sick and exhausted too @Sparkles512 and I’m only 5 weeks so dreading it getting worse over the trimester! I’m having really fierce reflux too 😩 I’ve got a scan booked for 7 weeks and feel like I’m counting the minutes

Lillybobs86 · 08/05/2026 21:17

Sorry to hear this @pinkskiesxHow low were they as mine were low but as long as they doubled in 2 days did they take second bloods and compare them?
I have had 4 pregnancies of taking bloods every 48 hours (1 ectopic and 1 loss) So I have been there a few times :(

I have had some waves of nausea but full sickness hasn’t kicked in yet 🫣
I am also having this pink tinged discharge a few days now which scares me … has anyone else had that yet?
im 6 weeks on Sunday.

They were only 19 on the 6/5 but I just had a miscarriage on 8/4 so have no clue when i ovulated- just got faint positives from the 3/5 after testing negative from the miscarriage on 19/4. They’re going to recheck my levels again on 13/5 but they’ve said although I could just be very very early to prepare for the worst 😞

Same due date here ☺️☺️

Beauport · 09/05/2026 07:24

I’ve got really sore boobs now although no sickness yet luckily. My lines have been getting stronger and are now the same colour as the control line so I’m taking that as a good sign 🤞🏼. Is there a WhatsApp group chat going yet?

JumpingJacks11 · 09/05/2026 08:12

@Bluehouse14 @Lillybobs86 41 here also and pretty much 42 by time baby comes, deff a little apprehensive being on the older side.
delighted to find this thread, due around the first week of Jan but will be taken in at 38 weeks so might end up end of Dec.

do others have a toddler atm too? Our lg just gone 2 so I’m a little nervous about parenting while pregnant (v sick in last 2 pregnancies)

Lillybobs86 · 09/05/2026 09:02

Oh ok @pinkskiesxhopefully results will have doubled every 48 hours by 13/5 keeping my fingers crossed for you 🙏🏽

@JumpingJacks11i have a very active 2 year old and I’m panicking that I’m over doing it already.
They have meltdowns in Tesco’s and refuse to get in car or walk and I find myself carry him in these stressful situations and really stressing myself and my body out 🙈
So I do worry about this as I had a loss beginning of year at 20 weeks and can’t think that I over did it.
Keep trying to think positive though lots of older mums have kids with 4 or 5 little ones to look after 😬😅 We will be fine 🙏🏽 xx

I’d love a WhatsApp chat as well. Find it quite difficult to keep up on here personally.
move just had a digital 3+ result today which is helping my anxiety a little bit as my symptoms have died down a bit lately. 5 weeks today if I go off when I ovulated, got 7/8 week private scan booked and first midwife appointment in a couple weeks. Fingers crossed for everyone in here🤞🏻❤️

Bluehouse14 · 09/05/2026 09:25

Wishing you all the luck for the 13th @pinkskiesx hope it's okay x

@JumpingJacks11 @Lillybobs86 nice to have you both. Ill be induced early as well as Ill have no doubt developed gestational diabetes again (my sugars actually get high so early so I am already watching my diet)! So sorry for your loss @Lillybobs86

I think Im roughly 5 weeks, and getting a mild intermittent left sided groin pain. I know I ovulated from the right so I think very unlikely to be an ectopic. Probably just wind/constipation or maybe round ligament pain. The constipation is bad 😅 so I think that's the likely suspect. Otherwise I feel totally fine - which is always concerning! How's everyone else feeling?

Lillybobs86 · 09/05/2026 09:35

@Bluehouse14thank you xx
sorry to hear about GB hopefully not the case for you this time.
I was also induced with my last successful pregnancy at 38 weeks so maybe have a December baby as well :))

Sparkles512 · 09/05/2026 17:19

Hi everyone,

I have set up a WhatsApp group, hope that's OK 😊

Oh god- I feel like I’m too superstitious to join a Whattsapp yet! It’s like the Apps- I’m refusing until I know everything is ok!

Has anyone got any tips on how to manage this? I’m so, so worried about losing this pregnancy as well I can’t even enjoy it 😩 I remember how excited I felt the first time before it all went wrong and I want to try and channel that!!

No tips I'm afraid but just wanted to say that I feel the EXACT same, so you're not on your own!

My scan is booked for 21st May and that seems forever away!

Hi everyone!

Finally able to join in!

Been a long journey after infertility for 6 years, had a miscarriage in December, and now pregnant with our rainbow baby.

We were about to start a cycle for a frozen embryo transfer but we managed to get pregnant naturally 🥹

Lalalul2 · 10/05/2026 08:48

Hi guys, jumping on. I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with number 2. Was on a wonderful WhatsApp from here with my first, so will definitely join that.. just feel like I need to wait a little longer as I’m only 12dpo! Good luck to everyone and looking forward to hopefully getting to know you!

Lalalul2 · 10/05/2026 08:53

Hey souiii! You commented on my test pic! Congratulations 🥰 sorry to hear about how difficult your journey has been.
