******December Mummies 2018******

Hi girls had my scan this morning. Went well and we saw a clear, strong heartbeat which was our main reason for wanting a scan. The sonographer said I was measuring a week behind so am 6+6 instead of 7+6.. bit frustrating as I'm now behind but was so happy to see heartbeat. Literally couldn't see anything exciting on the picture so not putting one on.

Been throwing up quite a bit today.. feel awful have just purchased some bands to reduce sickness so hoping they work.

So glad you've seen your bean!! I bet it was wonderful! Xx

It really was WolfMamma.. how are you feeling? X

Queasy as per usual!

Bed time now though..... feeling a bit better than usual so hoping for some naughtyness before sleep, teehee!
 
Feeling fresh this morning after complete exhaustion yesterday! Checked my cervix today which i never usually do and its very high and completely closed over which is reassuring. Boobs aching and have a weird aversiom to some smells i used to like.

We go to NYC a week tomorrow! Looking forward to some distraction then will have our 8 week scan on our return.
 
Glad you're feeling refreshed today Ally. I think I'm a day behind you :)

Is anyone else massively bloated? Even before I tested I've been bloated and look 5 months pregnant not 5 weeks. My pre-pregnancy clothes that were loose are snug but I've lost a pound (not intentionally!) So it's definitely not weight gain.

I felt that way at about your time but it has gone away.

Still nauseated here **eye roll**

Bit worried as you all seem to have heard from your midwives and such and I've not heard a peep! No date for first appointment, no scan date, nothing!

Might ring next week if I've not heard anything by then.

I'm exactly the same! I normally have a pretty flat stomach but now i have obvious bloating. Even when i suck my stomach in it doesnt go away. And weight is also roughly the same. When is your midwife appointment?

I haven't heard anything from my midwife though my doctors have made my booking in a appointment when I went on to fill out the forms to say I was pregnant.
All completely different to two years ago when I had my son
 
So glad I'm not the only one with the bloating! I'm waiting on my blood results today and then making an appointment with the midwife. Will that be to take a few details and then I'll go back for a scan? No idea how all this works :shock:

I've been having lemon and ginger tea for nausea and it's been a life saver
 
Bit worried today (again!) as symptoms don't seem nearly as obvious today. Nausea seems better, boobs not as painful....

Talk some sense into me ladies :S

Ahh wolf mamma! Don’t panic, it’s the anxiety talking. It’s normal for symptoms to fluctuate, you’ll probably be back to feeling sick as a dog in a couple of hours 👌🏻😘
 
Also I feel so teary today. I keep just getting waves of feeling totally overwhelmed! I had a little bit of spotting yesterday, just a little streak of blood mixed in with my usual discharge. I think it was just from me and the husband fooling around in the morning, so totally normal and fine, but my anxiety is in overdrive, so I’m right there with you today xxx

Don't worry, my symptoms fluctuate too. Today i have zero symptoms. Yesterday my boobs were super tender and now they aren't. It is hard though. I found myself wanting to do another pregnancy test today then had to try and snap myself out of it.
 
Hi girls! I got a surprise bfp yesterday. Think I'm due January 3rd but there is no January thread yet and I am not totally sure of my dates yet (still wondering if I'm further along). Our second was a week early so I'm thinking I might end up being a December mum anyway :). Hope u don't mind me barging in!

Congratulations and welcome!! Wow, you have yourself a handful!! Lovely that they will all be close in age. Do you mind me asking how old you are? Im 28 and would like mine to be close in age too. Pregnant with my first xx
 
My symptoms have been fluctuating as well so try not to worry Wolf Mamma. I had really sore books yesterday and today they're fine. I've had period like cramps for a while too but bloods came back fine and said they're normal for 4/5 weeks so I'm starting to relax a little now. I've just booked my first appointment with the midwife for 10th May when I'll be 7+5.

Congrats BunnyM! Lovely to have you joining us 😊 xx
 
Yay welcome Bunny!

I had the worst dream that I was bleeding a ton; so awful. These early days are so worrying. How is everyone today?
 
Ally I know you weren't asking me but for what it's worth, I was 29 when I had my first. She's 6.5 now, second is 3.5, third is 1.5, so they'll be 7, 4, and 2 when this baby is born :)

Oh how exciting Kholl!! I will be 29 in September and due in December. Do you have any words of wisdom about waiting for the first scan? Im a super anxious person so opting for an 8 week early scan, then will probably have the Harmony test at 10 weeks just for reassurance.
 
Honestly there's no way out of the agony of waiting. I am an anxious person too, and avoiding all the testing and early scans has been the key to mitigating that anxiety. I wouldn't terminate anyway and I know myself and I know the testing etc would only add to my anxiety. But it might be the opposite for you! We only did a 20-week ultrasound with our first, and had a dating ultrasound with the last 2 and then the 20-week one. This time I think I'll only have the 20-week ultrasound but will try with a doppler at 10ish weeks. The first trimester anxiety is just part of the process, like a rite of passage. I wish there were a way out of it, but I haven't found one yet!
