december due mamas

[BunnyN]

Hi girls. I'm due december 16th. I got my BFP 9dpo and have popped into this thread a few times but after our loss a few months back I guess I wasnt sure about joining the tri 1 thread. I've decided to take the plunge though.

I just noticed my nipples were like that today lol.

Hi Bunny, congrats! My due date is mixed between 16th on some due date calendars and 14th on others. 16th being a 28 day cycle, but i'm pretty sure this one was short and 26 days, which i get a couple of times a year.

Mine was a 26 day cycle this time too . I was pretty sure it was and then i got my bfp 9dpo. Based on a 26 day cycle . If it had been a 28 day cycle that would make my bfp 7dpo which is pretty much impossible, unless its twins,lol.

I'm assuming mine is a 26 days cycle as i track my period and the day of ovulation was friday and the last time we had unprotected sex was Tuesday. So i'm assuming i ovulated Wednesday. I know they say sperm can live up to 3 days but that's only in very perfect environments etc. And i think they have to use extremes to be on the safe side.
Most due dates go by standard 28 day cycle. So is your due date done by a 26day cycle?

Its so confusing, i'm assuming having a shorter cycle would mean i would ovulate 2 days earlier, but when i put my luteal cycle in at 12 days on a 26 day cycle (last day of period 11th March) it comes back as 16th still.. the same as a 28day cycle with luteal cycle 14days.. coffufled! lol

I worked out my due date using day of conception rather than LMP. I was using OPKs which puts my date of ovulation two days earlier which is backed up by getting a BFP 9dpo. Its also possible to have a short luteal phase though. In that case you ovulate at the same time as you would with a 28 day cycle. Its just the second part of the cycle that is shorter.

Most doctors and MWs will just look at you a bit odd if you try and say anything about OPKs or your cycles being different though and just write down your date based on your LMP and a 28 day cycle. Later on they go more by the dates from your dating scan. I'm a bit obsessed with working out my own dates though because I know for sure my scan was 5 days out with DS. Which is kind of a lot, especially when they are pushing early induction on you.

I need to sort myself a ticker too, lol.

There seem to be quite a few of us with 2013 babies here. Dd will be 3 in May. We have a 1 year old too.

 

[BunnyN]

Sorry to post so many times in a row, i'm just catching up on yesterday and todays posts.

Hey Bunny congrats!
Oh my nips are the same only my 2yr old is still bf and it's really hurting like the first few weeks of bf. I wish he'd wean now but he's a real boobie monster lol

I bf through my sons pregnancy. I was determined to make it work but it was really hard. Then ds fed through my last pregnancy that sadly ended in mc at 10 weeks. This time I'm relieved that ds has decided to give up on bfing recently. His last feed I was pregnant already but didnt know it yet. He kind of pulled a face and spit my nipple out. I wonder if the milk tasted funny already?

I was wondering if he'd go off the milk as some people say it changes but doesn't seem to bother him just yet. Sorry for your loss hun lots of luck to you with this little bean xx

I had a friend whose baby stopped feeding before she knew she was pregnant too. Dd was pretty determined and got through the whole pregnancy despite the fact she was pretty much dry nursing after about 16 weeks. Ds wasnt about to stop last time either but I guess he was only 8 months when I fell pregnant.

 

[BunnyN]

Congrats Hun!


Okay anyone else in the same situation? I have just completely panicked! Lol
Í
I will be due Around the 16th December. This may change at my scans. But it can only go later as This is the earliest.

I had a section first time round. I was hoping to try for a vbac.

I've just realised that if I go over I could end up in hospital on Xmas day?!? There is no way on this earth I could leave my daughter on Xmas day. I would be heartbroken.

I'm tempted to just ask for another section just so I can be home with her.

What does everyone else think? Anyone else panicking about leaving the kiddies?

I love the idea of an Xmas baby but not now I have a daughter xx

I am due december 16th. If i hadnt had two 26 day cycles it would have been december 20th. We almost skipped TTC last month because of it. I'm not so much worried about missing xmas as that our home birth MW wont be available at christmas. Dd was 10 days late and ds 5 days early so not sure what to expect, lol. Personally I wouldnt let the chance missing out a holiday sway my choice as to what the best birth option was for me and bubs. There is time to make up for a missed holiday but only one chance at your birth. I would always go with the birth option I felt was safest and felt right for me and bubs under the circumstances. I wouldnt want the extra risks or recovery time of a CS only so I could choose the date. Those are just my personal feelings though please dont take that as me being judgy, you might feel differently and what is right for you might be different .

The thought of having to leave another child at home is hard. Because I had a home birth with ds i was fortunate that I didnt have to worry about leaving DD. I almost died during mu MC though and DS and DD had to spend a couple of nights at my parents. Neither of them had been away from me before but they coped with it better that I thought.

Morning ladies, how's everyone?

I've woke up feeling groggy don't think it will shift. Yesterday at about 3pm I suddenly felt very sick and it continued all night!! I'm trying to bake my sons cakes and prepare the lasagne for tomorrow before the sickness ramps up later!

Is anyone struggling with doing house chores? I remember with my son my husband was unemployed for my first trimester so he literally did everything for me. This time having a toddler, working full time and him working nights I'm not going to lie I'm frightened! I know I will just cope but bloody hell I hope the time goes super quick.

Xxx

I struggled with my first Hun, my symptoms aren't at that stage yet. They soon will be though. I just didn't have the energy for anything. This time I am taking it easy because of the spotting so my OH is doing everything anyway. I'm sure everything's fine but I just don't want to risk it until my scan. It's been changed to next Friday now (22nd @ 9:45!!!) and I got my 3+ today (5+1 today) yay!

I'm feeling really tired today. And my BBs are so sore! I'm having waves of sickness every now and then.

I hope your okay Hun, it's difficult in these first few weeks xx

 

[Tonks82]

Brill to see 3+ for you Slb. Do you think the aspirin made you spot?

So excited for your scan on Friday I'm sure everything will be fine for you though. My not till the Tuesday after yours.

I'm excited to reach a new week, 6 weeks tomorrow!!! I'm still super anxious though!!

I'm going away to Turkey when I'll be 10 weeks that will be an interesting holiday lol!!

Xxx

 

[Slb24]

I'm not sure. From what I've read on google it can make you spot. But it was just after my AF was due. So apparently it could have been a late implantation bleed as well. I'm honestly not sure. Either way I think things are going in the right direction so I am a lot happier now I was so nervous waiting for the weeks to come on! It seemed to take ages lol


I phoned the epu (I had some more slight spotting yesterday) and asked if they could book me in earlier. I will be 6 weeks exactly on the 22nd. But there is a chance I could be earlier. I know there might be a chance I won't see a HB but if I see a baby/sac I will be happy and then I will get called back anyway.

Happy 6th week for tomorrow
That will be! Hopefully all the sickness will have passed by then lol xx

 

[cam]

Ugggh feeling sicky today and soooo tired think I could sleep all day if I could! I have the worst indigestion also I hope it doesn't carry on like this throughout, anyone else got it yet?
Hopefully the next week goes quick for you ladies its horrible waiting for 1st scans goes so slow. I'm wondering whether to get a private one or to just wait for 12 week one x

 

[BunnyN]

I felt groggy all day yesterday. No sickness at all yet though which is quite confusing. I know I'm only 5+1 but in my other pregnancies the sickness, or at least severe queazyness started from before I missed my period. Ofcourse part of me cant help worrying that I should feel sicker. Part of me is blessing each day of no MS. I had HG with my 1st and it was one of the most awful things ever. Its gotten a little better each pregnancy so maybe I'll get off lightly this time!

 

[Tonks82]

Well best of luck for Friday Slb and obv I'll be stalking you!!!

Oh no I very much know my sickness will be in full swing during holiday time. Last pregnancy I didn't properly get rid of it until week 20!!!! Tri 2 was better but I still felt off!

It's taken me till 3pm since this morning to make cupcakes and just the bolagnaise for the lasagne, still got my pjs on!

Cam the earliest I got indigestion last time was 12 weeks I had it so much after that I was off work with it. I find eating bread makes mine worse and that's all I've been eating recently. Also hot water, squeeze of half a lemon and spoon of honey every morning keeps it at bay too.

Bunny I hope you do get away with not having sickness we all know it's not fun.

Xxx

 

[BunnyN]

I got indigestion early on in my other pregnancies. It seemed to be related to morning sickness and settled down after a while. Once my tummy started getting big later on I suffered from it just because of the pressure on my stomach.

It would be amazing if I got away without sickness this time! I think at 5 weeks I'm getting a bit ahead of myself though. There is still plenty of time for it to hit with full force. I'd settle for a milder version than last time though .

 

[madsticks]

Hi ladies! Just wanted to tentatively poke my head in and say hi and good luck to everyone!

Had a surprise BFP this morning! Going by my dates, this puts me in line for a Christmas Day baby!

All being well of course. Still early doors and due to past mc 's (3) + polycystic ovaries I need to remain cool, calm and collected until we know if this little zygote wants to grow.

But yay!

Hello and congrats madsticks fingers crossed everything is OK for you! My eldest is a Christmas baby how exciting!

Tonks thanks for the tip ill try the water,lemon and honey hopefully i can work out what type of foods are causing it x

 

[mummywanabe]

Beyond excited this evening after being so sick all week and most of this day I have managed to eat a decent dinner and keep it down and I really don't feel too sick it all, I could actually cry lol I've lost 10lbs and have been feeling pretty low the last couple of days but felt well enough to bath my, son, put him to bed and read him two books, feeling like a happy mummy tonight

Hi madsticks, congratulations I think there are quite a few of us who have had previous miscarriages on here so we know how ur feeling, you can't help but get excited

 

[BunnyN]

How is everyone? Its been quiet today. Hopefully thats a good sign that everyone is feeling energetic and busy doing fun and important things today, lol.

 

[cam]

Felt a bit better today after a good sleep last night, it's been lovely and sunny where we are today so I've been out in garden most of the day with my youngest. Hope everyone else is OK and had a good weekend. I'm dreading hearing the alarm tomorrow morning!

I'm the same! Last time i worked it out and was the same as my expected due date, they then changed it at my dating scan which was wrong in the end, she came on her original due date. I'm not sure if its done by head circumference ? if so my daughter had a small head and that may be why.

Congrats new Dec mummies! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

Has anyone got any holidays planned? I'm going to Portugal in 3 weeks (11th May) which makes me around 9 weeks preg, i'm worried about sickness and tiredness really kicking in and the heat making me feel awful. I guess its not that hot though around 22deg in the shade. My partner and I are wondering about not going and losing our money. Would you go?
I really want a holiday but ideally in the 2nd trimester when all the sickness etc goes. It would be a nice break though, as his children are with their mum and my daughter is staying with my mum for the week.... don't know what to do, guess i have to just wait until the week before and see how i feel!?!?

Congrats December mummies! This time last year I had just got my BFP and was terrified as had a miscarriage in 2013 and took ages to conceive 2nd time. Baby was due 26/12 but had her 1/1/16! She is amazing and snuggled on my chest right now. Good luck to you all xxx
