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

[Rach beattie]

Well ladies I had my second set of bloods today to see if hcg is rising. My first set at 12dpo was 50 which was bang on for where I was. I finally got to do a digital test today and it's 2_3 weeks which is supposed to be over 200 hcg so looks like I'm more than doubling and I am so relieved. How r u all tonight x

Wow that's great news yay!!! The relief must be immense
I've just been exhausted today and a few little cramps.. But I had cramps with my son right at the start so nothing out of the ordinary for me!

Has anyone told family yet?? We didn't tell til 12 weeks last time but going to tell parents in 2 weeks this time xx

It is definitely a bit of reassurance for now. I'm the same with exhaustion and also super thirsty. We haven't told family yet but it's so hard not to so we will probably tell soon too. R u having an early scan xx

Great news Rach! I'm trying to keep myself busy until my 8 week scan. My midwife appointment is the day before that scan - is it usually just a chat and some blood tests?! Im planning on telling my family after the scan xx

Hey allybally I'm the same counting down to 8 week scan we will be having them the same week! No they don't do bloods or anything they just go through your history, picking a hospital and give u a baby pack. They don't do anything to confirm pregnancy until 12 week scan unfortunately xx

Congrats Rach! Looking great for you!

I'm really hoping that mine is progressing ok but I honestly have no idea which makes me nervous :-/

Boobs are still really painful, nausea comes and goes and I guess I'm a bit more tired than normal but not really anything else. The bloating is gone more or less, I think I've put on weight but that's due to the lack of a school run during easter holidays.

I'm so paranoid and I'm not sure what I can do to reassure myself. I guess I could buy another digi but I'm too scared.

This is what I'm struggling with too - paranoia of not knowing if everything's OK!! I had this with my first too as we had an mc 4 months before he was conceived. I think it's really natural to worry!
I may be wrong here so don't quote me.. But I'm sure I've read that pregnancy tests can come back negative once the hcg has gone over a certain point. It's like it floods the test so it doesn't respond to the hormone? Don't know how true this is but for this reason I didn't test again after the first week I found out with our boy xxx

Rach I'm not planning on am early scan no would love to! But I had a bleed with our son at 8 weeks so had an early scan then!

Eek can't believe we're all having December babies!!! Xxxx

I've heard that too so I guess I will stay away just to be safe.

I am such a worrier though.

Bit of nausea today but only when my stomach is empty. I actually had to resort to crackers today before I got out of bed!!

Boobs still majorly hurty so I am happy for now.

Ohh bless you.. It's so difficult not to worry isn't it, the fact you're getting symptoms is a good sign though! But saying that, try not to worry if they disappear either! I barely had any symptoms first time around! I'm also getting random nausea and only when empty as well! I totally forgot I used to carry around cream crackers in my handbag 😂 good thinking there Wolf mamma!

Hey honey ! I am taking Pregnancare Max, I took it during my last pregnancy too. i will be getting a reassurance scan at 7 and a half weeks. I have absolutely zero symptoms even my boobs are absolutely not sore not even one bit so this makes me so worried, even though I was the same with my previous pregnancy and the one before that.I had a miscarriage 3 years ago and not feeling anything and not knowing is driving me nuts, I will not be able to make it to 12 weeks and stay sane I know that for sure.

 

[hopeful1976]

How is everyone feeling girls? Sorry I ve been a bit out of touch. I am not on my best form right now as for the last 2 days I have been spotting, and this is making me an absolute nervous wreck. Here is the problem. I had pink spotting and some cramps during my last pregnancy ( not my 1st one though ), it came out of nowhere at about 6 weeks and got quite bad at about 7 and a half weeks with added agony of cramps which were quite intense. My gp sent me to the epu and they did a scan and hey everything was absolutely fine. We saw a lovely heartbeat and were dated ahead than my own calculations. They gave me a leaflet on bleeding in pregnancy and explained how common it is , and i went on my way all happy and jolly and now I have a cheeky and ridiculously cute 2 and a half year old as a result of that pregnancy. However, when I had my miscarriage, it also started with same type of spotting, then same cramps, and then after a week of that it all turned into full blown bleeding and when I went for a scant it was confirmed as miscarriage. so here it is. Go figure. Is it going to be the 1st case the scenario or the 2nd one?This is making me absolutely crazy and I am literally counting the days and minutes to my 7 and a half weeks scan. Sorry didn't want to lower the spirit of this lovely thread but i simply had to vent here. I am a positive person generally so my own gut feel is that everything will be fine and like someone else said here earlier I just keep saying that there is no reason this pregnancy won't be ok, I like this, its a good one to keep saying to yourself.Anyways ladies, i am going to keep myself busy with our little one today and try to keep my mind clear. We had such lovely day in London Aquarium yesterday, it was a dream!! What is everybody else doing this weekend ? xx

Hey sweetheart I can sense from your posts you're feeling very anxious.. And absolutely can't blame you with your past experience bless you! That's a really good saying to have that there's no reason this pregnancy won't be OK! I think the reassurance scan will really help to get you through to the 12 week scan! And keeping busy with your little one will help keep you occupied.. But of course you're still going to worry, so don't beat yourself up about it! I also had no symptoms with my little boy so you know it's normal not to have any like you said with your pregnancies how long until your reassurance scan? Xxx

Hey hopeful I hope u r OK. It was me that said there is no reason this pregnancy won't work out. Try and rest and relax and fingers crossed everything will be OK. I didn't want to say this incase it worried anyone but symptoms really don't mean a thing so try not to worry that u don't have them. With my mmc I had morning sickness even on the morning of my 12 week scan and the embryo had died at 8 weeks so symptoms really don't mean a thing. Thinking of u and sending sticky dust ur way xx

WolfMamma are you thinking of getting an early reassurance scan or waiting til 12 weeks

Is anyone taking any supplements and who's thinking about finding out gender or not? Xxx

I'm taking folic acid and also aspirin as it is known to reduce to the risk of miscarriage. O I 100% plan on finding out what we r having. Going to pay for a gender scan at 16 weeks. What about u xx

I would love an early scan but it's just no feasible financially atm. There's no way I can afford it sadly so I will just have to keep my fingers crossed.

I'm on Pregnacare Max this time, I think I just took the basic one last time.

I am still symptom free really so worrying my head off. Boobs still incredibly painful, especially after they've been in a bra all day. Nausea comes and goes still and I'm tired but that could just be down to the fact that I've barely left the house in the last 2 weeks!

I'm just about to go back and read my old pregnancy journal and see what I was feeling at what stage. Maybe that will help me....

Just trying to take a day at a time but I am terrified.

 

[AllyBally]

Feeling extremely nauseous today at 4+2. Also have a bit of a headache.

Someone asked at work if i was feeling ok, so i just said i felt a bit sick. Then they immediately came out with "PREGGERS?!". Kind of caught me off guard!! Haha

 

[xxfxx]

I've felt nauseous all day on and off..

I caved and booked a reassurance scan next Saturday. Feel it will put my mind at ease.
