Topic: January 2017 Babies Posted: 10 May 2016 at 1:13pm |
Hey ladies :-)
Yay for finding our due date group and the obvious congratulations that comes with it. How are you all going?
I have my MW all sorted - yay! I'm impatiently waiting to get my first blood test done on Thursday - I hope to see really great hcg levels. I've booked a dating/viability scan for 28th May which seems like forever away. No real noticeable symptoms here besides tender boobs. I'm always tired anyway so I hope that doesn't get any worse like it did with my first boy. I was having to find spots to sleep at lunch time at work with him.
I just want to get to the 12 week scan and everything be ok - 7 weeks to go!

Hi and congrats. I'm due 17 Jan, what is your due date? I'm surprised there isn't more people in here as I thought I'd be late to the party with a mid-month due date. Only 4 weeks pregnant today, so still being a bit careful about getting too excited.

Hi ladies,
Maybe a little premature but all things going well I'm going to be welcoming my second child on Jan 18th.
I found this group an awesome support the first time so hoping it's the same this time.

Well here goes! Early days yet in my first pregnancy. 20th Jan by my (admittedly fairly amateur) calculations. Only had the good news on Tuesday and still reeling a little but beginning to make my way through the long list of to-dos, which at this stage mostly consists of Googling. Feeling pretty clueless so glad to have forums like these for advice - I can already see I'm going to need a great deal!

HI all,
Yay our wee group is taking off. There doesn't seem to be as many people as I thought yet either. I guess there is still a bit of time for some late Jan babies.
I'm due between Jan 9th-11th according to a few websites. I had a wee bit of bloody discharge yesterday after dtd the night before (tmi sorry) so I am in for an early viability scan today and an anti-d injection since I am a negative blood type just in case. I am sure it was just from knocking my cervix though. So I will have a more accurate due date by this afternoon!
I am so happy with how my mw handled everything when I txt her yesterday. The one I had for my son was a shocker!
Had my bloods done this morning so hopefully everything comes back good with that too.
How are you all feeling? Any noticeable things going on yet?

Feeling absolutely fine (other than a mild cold - good chance to take a little time off work and let the news sink in). Waiting with baited breath for any symptoms! Currently researching midwives (so clueless about this process lol).

Good luck with your scan. Let us know how it goes. I've had brown spotting everyday for about a week (usually just when running and #2) but it just seems like a normal amount for pregnancy. Do you think I'll need anti-D for spotting? My Dr said last pregnancy that I wouldn't need it this early but I'm sure they all have different advice. I haven't gone to the dr or midwife for this pregnancy yet since I don't want bloods done; I was going to wait until 5 weeks and then request a dating scan for a couple of weeks later. This is my third child. Not any symptoms except no af or pms, which is great!

I had anti-D in Dec for a miscarriage but it wears off in about 8 weeks so it'll be out of my system by now.

Hey Jan17 mums!
We had our GP visit on Monday and confirmed due date of Jan 5th. Trying hard to find a midwife, a lot are away on holiday at that time! How are you all getting on finding one? Any recommendations?

Hi all I just found out today I'm pregnant with number two! Edd 20/1/16. Very exciting!! Is there a Due Jan 17 FB group set up already in here? I'd love to join. If not I'd be happy to set one up. Congrats to everyone on your Jan 17 babies.

Yay congrats ladies!!!
My scan went well - gestational sack measuring 5w (I had calculated 5w1d) and the yolk sack was clearly visible. There was no sign of an internal bleed and everything is in the right place so I will go back on the 4th June for another dating scan. My uterus is retroverted which made it a bit trickier. It must have just been a knock to the cervix while dtd like we thought.
What a drama yesterday afternoon was. I lied to work to leave at lunch. Then headed to the hospital blood bank after getting lost to collect the anti-d, then to another place for the scan, then to a brand new gp to enrol - thankfully she was able to give my partner a blood test form to go get his blood type checked, he went this morning - if he's negative it means no more anti d for me! Then for the jab in my butt and the waiting around afterwards. I was so relieved to get home last night as I was kinda worried yesterday morning and hate rushing around! I also feel a lot happier knowing so far everything is as fine as it could be.
The GP had my blood results already. HCG was 2250 - is that ok? I was told my white blood cell count is 44 and it should be 50+ at this stage so I need to try increase that somehow? Otherwise everything is good.
Pugglesworth I'd definitely tell/ask your LMC about it as you'd hate to build up antibodies. I would with any spotting!

Just found out we are having baby number 7, can't believe it. Very unexpected but happy. Not telling anyone for a while. My new bub is due 14th of January 2017. Can't believe how fast symptoms have started, feeling ill, tired and very sore boobs lol, this is our honeymoon baby. Is there anyone else older than 35? I'm a wee bit worried about what's termed 'old' ha-ha I'm 38. We have 5 boys and 1 girl, fingers crossed for another wee girl
