Fingers crossed for you crazy momma for Tuesday!

We have decided to go ahead and tell my parents on Sunday who have decided to come and visit eeeekkkkk!!! We are going to re-create the announcement we did with our first, I made a cake and wrote 'we are having a baby' on it. Went over brilliantly (my dad got teary and he never cries lol) and ever since then every time I make a cake he says 'I better read the top just in case' so I think it would be cute to re-create that for our last. I have no idea how my mum will react as she has been quite vocal on me not 'needing' another due to all that has gone wrong in previous pregnancies, particularly with my third. Not feeling great about telling her at all.
 
We've told our families. My dad was really pleased. My mom is worried because of my previous pregnancy challenges too. Dh's family...not sure. I think they reckon that we are too old (his family is not very long lived and it affects how they think about things...my family, on the other hand all live practically forever lol).
 
We have told DH's family - we were staying with them while we found a rental - we shifted to a new town just after Christmas so had a few weeks where none of the rental agencies were open! I had bad MS - so couldnt really hide it!

DD knows - she had to come to the midwife so we told her - earlier than we had wanted to so shes sworn to secrecy.....although she is 4....so I'm sure you can all imagine just how 'secret' it is...!

We will probably tell my family after the scan on Tuesday....rest of people will be after 12 weeks.

I want to find one of those 'bump ahead' road signs and get a pic of me and DH under it - or take pics of our two girls - SD6 with a sign saying 'oldest', and DD4 with one saying 'youngest' (crossed out) then 'middle'

I can't wait to do the big announcement!
 
I won't be telling my family or dh's family for a long time. I also want to make 100% sure this baby is nice and strong before sharing the news.
 
I told my in-laws already. I have a pretty obvious bump at this point, MIL spotted it right away when I came in to their house, even through a long baggy cardigan.

HCG was 164,000 Wednesday evening :sick: ... any bets as to what it'll be tomorrow?

Yikes, not even sure I should venture a guess. It doesn't double when it is that high, right? Maybe 225,000?
 
Hi girls, may I join? I has my scan today to confirm I'm fue October 15th. We heard the heartbeat. So excited and emotional!
 
For those of you who measured ahead, did you change your ticker? My babies measured 5 days ahead.

Slightly different - I have my ticker set to my LMP even though I scanned at 5 days earlier. Midwife said we would keep to my LMP dates for now - and I'd rather not be pregnant for longer than I need to!!
 
Morning ladies! My digi went to 2-3 today :yipee: and my ic is as dark as the control line! Spoke to the hospital yesterday and have been given my midwifes name and have to call her next week to get my booking appointment! It's all very exciting and everyday it's starting to feel more and more real! Eeeeek!!

I dunno i'm gunna go with 'a lot' ahhaah :)

is there a reason you are having you hcg levels tested so regularly? I don’t know if it's less common here or not done at all but i have never known anyone to have their hcg done 'in real life' is it a sort of viability test ? or is it because you are having multiples, either way i think it's quite interesting... knowing your levels etc.

Omg eep!! How exciting, its so nice to know someone else here. I know so many BnB gals knocked up on Instagram atm. Our babies are so grown up!
 
We won´t be telling anyone until 12 weeks when we get the results of our Harmony test. Just want to make sure everything is OK before we announce.

I am tempted to have an early scan, found a place that does an early pregnancy scan in Hampshire for £40.00. www.icanseeyou.co.uk

Groupon are doing a deal wit a local clinic in Richmond for a £99.00 package which includes an early pregnancy scan and then a 4D gender scan later on also included. As this is really local for us, I am pretty keen to book it. However, we also have a scan book in 3 weeks time so might just wait it out.

https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/dealbank_en_gb/richmond-practice-1/47569330

I´m still feeling nausea off and on and tiredness but other than that all OK.

Congratulations on all the lovely scan pics.
 
vomiting. cyclizine not working... just rang in work sick.. so stressed as they are not happy... so so so stressed and ill
 
We are going to attempt to hold out on telling anyone until 16 weeks. Might seem silly but last time i got really upset with people making gender comments. so if i can just announce the gender at the same time it will save me a whole lot of " i hope this one is a girl" " ohh i bet you want a girl now" "no more grandsons please hahahah" and my personal favourite "better luck next time" yes having a diff gender would be nice but i feel it is other peoples influence that bothered me the most... after the gender scan i just went home and sulked because no one would have been interested in hearing about "another boy" so they can shove it lol
 
The joys of announcing your 7th. My dad said Oh no you really are a glutton for punishment. Lovely! My mum would of been delighted but she died last July. I really miss telling her. We haven't put mil straight that it wasn't a mc she hasn't asked how we are since so I don't think she deserves to know.

My last measured three to four days ahead and my specialist kept my lmp all the way through. In my experience., as I had over 100 u/s in my baby making time that the baby(s) will change their dates depending on who measures them and this early on it can be hard to get the right date, as less than a millimetre can set the date off. So if I were you I'd leave for now unless they say otherwise later around 12 weeks ;)

I'm with you there. I always get the gender comment. Still do when I tell someone they are ALL boys. Then of course they pipe in with you going to try for that girl? :grr:

I got all sorts of nasty comments last time about having another one. Mainly "you're crazy!" Or "you can't afford that". I really do wish people keep their mouths shut.

So I will not be telling people for as long as I possibly can. We will see so far so good though as I am not showing yet and I was last time. Or should I say bloating.
