Congratulations! Think im due 8th dec too x
Morning all!
Well, I surivived by birthday drinks but not without a few comments such as "why are you still sober" and "it's your birthday, we were expecting you to get hammered!"
Thankfully, I don't think they guessed because as far as they were oncerned, I was drinking - I was bought several glasses of wine and either went and swapped them for wine glasses of water, or kept the wine and subtly poured it away when I pretended to go for a cigarette (I smoked before I found out I was pregnant).
Whether they guessed or not, it did make it a highly amusing evening. At one point, a friend who knew we were trying for a baby commented on whether or not I was drinking, and even asked to taste my drink! Luckily at that point it was real wine and not water, so I think she was fooled! I am fairly positive that, assuming everything goes well, when we announce the pregnancy we will get a lot of "I KNEW IT" going on.
With my last 2 pregnancies, we told so many people really early on so I'm not sure why I'm so keen to keep it quiet this time. I think it's because I know it is probably going to be out last, and I want to keep something just for us for a little bit longer, if that makes any sense.
Wow, sorry for the essay! How is everone else this rainy Easter weekend? xx
So exciting and so jealous! I haven't found anyone near me that'll do a private before 8 weeks! (Haha or I'd have one booked too! )

Mine wouldn't really before 7 weeks but said if I was happy to take the risk in not seeing to much they would do it. I saw a very strong heartbeat ... The pic is reassuring to xx
I'm 8 weeks as well and got to see bubs today due to some one sided pain that I had been experiencing. Everything looks good, bubs is measuring exactly right and has snuggled in the right place thankfully and we got to see the heartbeat
We're telling family in stages due to us wishing to tell them face to face. OH's brother and wife know as they visited a few weeks ago and immediately cottoned on to why I wasn't drinking. We told my parents last weekend and we're going to tell OH's parents tomorrow. OH is going to say to them 'here's a picture of your grandchild' and hand them the scan picture we got today when they will be expecting a picture of DS.
