Does anyone else feel like they are getting ahead of themselves ? Or Am I being too "class half empty" I wont make a midwife app but I have looked at baby names and prams hahaha

Has anyone got as far as names yet ?!
I know if we have a boy he is in trouble as we literally like NO boy names. We struggled with our last son and really it was still an 11th hour choice.

Nope not even thought about names xx
 
I have my first appointment next week at 6 weeks. I called back to ask if I was coming in too early, but they said they like to go ahead and do blood work and answer any questions as soon as possible. That's probably a good thing because I'm so nervous about everything, hopefully they will calm me down a bit.

Haha omg this is me. So far I've decided on pram, bought some nappies, got a good wee stash of vests and sleep suits and ran down the name shortlist to two on either side. Boys are Jack or Cameron (neither are my first choice but OH is boring) and Edyn or Eilidh (not sure on spelling of Eilidh yet but have delivery changed spelling or 'Eden').

We've been to mamas and papas and looked at swings,cribs and Moses baskets before we even got our bfp and will put a deposit on everything in a couple of weeks
 
We've been trying for our first for almost three years, so we do have a list of names. But nothing settled on. Just a loooong list of names. :haha:


I don't feel like I'm getting ahead of myself. After all the disappointment and heartbreak, I want to enjoy as much of it as I can. And since I'm a little high risk, I need to be on top of it anyway.

But I know it's too early to really *do* anything, so I can definitely see how someone could just be relaxed at this point.

So we're not the same, but I don't think you're wrong or being a downer or anything. :haha:
 
I'm worried about getting ahead of myself for sure and have to keep reigning in my husband. He's already looking at day care rates and such. I'm trying to be excited, but not too excited since it's so early. It's so difficult not to get carried away though since I'm a bit older and thought I wouldn't be able to conceive. I actually got my bfn a week before my first fertility testing appointment. So, yes... I'm trying to find that balance between excitement and caution. It's not easy!

I've carried a list of favorite baby names around in my purse since I was 12 years old (and have added to it for 24 years!), so I have an idea of what I want for names. My husband has different tastes though, so it will be interesting to see how that battle plays out.
 
Gp we tried for 3 years for Xander too. We had names picked out for all that time but when it finally came down to choose we ditched them all :haha:

We like Tobias and Alice, but we haven't had a proper look yet. We'll probably change our minds before we settle on something
 
Hi Dandi! Welcome! Your dream is hilarious.

I understand that I might have a miscarraige, but I'm still going to be excited and by things. I think it's the fun of it. At 6 weeks, I'll always remember and think about the little bugger anyway.

Plus, I have plenty of friends who are expecting so I can always pass things along to them if I don't end up needing them.

We have a girl name picked out, but she doesn't have a middle name. I made a post way back in November about it.

As for boy names, we aren't really sure. We are looking for a balance between Welsh names (my husband's heritage) and names that I enjoy. My biggest two concerns are a name that no one can pronounce and names that are too common.
 
I am having the biggest quandary about names. I posted a thread about it on the name board, but I am mobile now and can't link it. Basically, our 2 sons have names that are each 4 letters and one starts with a C and the other a B. Do I keep the 4 letter theme, go with an A name to have my 'A, B, C's', both, or neither? Not sure what to do really. My DH loves the name Aria, but it was 40th in the US last year and rising fast. Our boys have very unusual names (here in the US...both names are common in Europe).
 
Hi ladies! Can I join? I got my BFP on 2/3, had my first doctors appointment today! Due date is October 15th! I am so excited but SO overwhelmed! Looking for some ladies to share this experience with :friends:

Allforthegirl I don't think noon is too late for a digital. I took on yesterday afternoon at like 3pm (10dpo) and got a positive. I would just hold your pee for a bit!

I love that you guys are already thinking about names! You are on top of it!

Dandi I know exactly what you mean! Thank GOODNESS someone else feels this way! I am really excited, but I also feel like I don't want to get ahead of myself lol I was planning the gender reveal party before I even got my bfp! haha!
 
Welcome :) I'm also due around oct 15th.

I wouldn't waste a digi in the middle of the day, I'd save it for first morning urine.
 
Thanks Natasha! Have you gone to your first appointment yet? I had my first one today and my doc told me it was time for my yearly so he did a pap which totally freaked me out! I started crying!

I live in Wales my son is Ieuan but I also loved the name Owain also Dylan :)

Girls I had an horrific nightmare at 4.15am and was not able to go back to sleep.. I had a dream I was swimming with my daughter and GD in a cave pool when something grabbed by daughter and pulled her under.. she screamed and I could hear it through the bubbles and she grabbed me and pulled both myself and my GD under... I had to make the decision to let her go and save my GD or hold on hoping she would be released and we could all get to the surface.. I woke up crying my eyes out, in such a state I couldn't get back to sleep and its really upset me.. so much so I am dreading going to sleep tonight :nope:

I was sick last night and a bit early hours after the nightmare... I have felt so sick all day.. I feel so ill, drained and worn out and my boobs are huge and so painful! I am almost wanting to take something for the pain!!

I am 187lbs and 5ft7 so still overweight and wanted to lose 28lbs but not going to manage that now... well not unless this sickness gets worse.

I need to see my GP because I wont be able to work whilst being nauseated/vomiting.. I am a receptionist so cant leave the desk to be ill. Work will not be happy.

1st scan Monday - Midwife appt Valentines day -

welcome newbies H&H 9 months xx

So I did one and it came out only 1-2 weeks..... probably because i did it so late?
 
Serenjay, Owain is on my boy's name list too! But I'm not going to lie, it's after a video game character. One of our girl's names, Lucina, is from the same game, and we also have Zelda on our girl's list too. :haha:
 
Serenjay every time I see your name pop up I think k of Seren from the abadas on cbebies :haha: I love that show.

Aftg try not to worry I'm sure I read that they're only accurate with fmu x
 
Is anyone else having light cramping? I keep reading that it's normal, but it's still freaking me out.
 
Yep. Achy cramps, burn cramps. Occasional sharp pains. I'm running the crampy gauntlet lol
