Darling buds of May and June bugs!

Wow this thread is moving fast now!

I am glad it is 9 buddies and 9 bumps, there may be more than 9 babies though! Who knows!

Its really nice some of us are Mums already and some are new Mums so we can share advice, and I love that I have a place to come for first tri. The First tri section sometimes scares me a bit as there are a few sad moments there, so I have a little peak and sometimes leave a comment, but to be honest I try not to look to much, which may be selfish but i find it quite upsetting.

And a secret facebook page is brilliant! I dont share my most private news with all on facebook but a secret page is a great idea!!!!

[dt1234565]

Oh and initially when i saw this thread was closed, i thought "oh no" - silly cow!!!!

9 of us - 9 months - 9 sticky beans - 9 babies!!!

Awww perfect

Its a bit random I know but got to tell someone. My youngest daughter (who should be a school but conned me into thinking she was ill so she could stay at home) has just made a sausage and egg sandwich for herself. I used to love sausage and egg but the smell of it cooking has seriously turned my stomach! Now she's sat next to me eating it urgh lol.

Never had any sickness or anything like this with either of my girls, maybe its a boy what do you think?

 

[minidancer]

Ooh Rose it will be interesting to see if it is a boy. Sorry you are feeling sick! I think I'm having a boy this time too coz I have felt I'll so much earlier than with my little girl. Will you find out what you are having? I think we will, we found out last time and I loved knowing. Also meant I could go pink shopping ha ha xx

Good luck at your doc appointment Gypsy, let us know how it goes xx

It went better than I expected. I told him I was pregnant and he worked out my dates and gave me a 20 page printout of the do's and dont's of pregnancy (most of it is common sense), then said he would book my appointment in with the midwife for me. We went to the desk and her diary was fully booked for the next 3 weeks so I was looking at a minimum of a 4 week wait but he told the receptionist he wanted me in before that to put my mind at rest so they took my phone number and are going to arrange a home visit for me some time in the next 2 weeks, yay

I'm just waiting for a phonecall from the midwife now - it's all starting to feel more real now. Can any of you who have done this before advise me what to expect at my first midwife appointment? He said it would take about an hour.

As for finding out the sex of the baby - I am DEFINITELY going to find out. I can't wait to find out if it's a litte boy or girl in there... I'd prefer to give it a name too rather than call it "it" all the time. I think I'm going to have a boy for some reason... no idea why!

 

[dt1234565]

LOL!!!

I have never has MS with any pregnancy and have had 1 girl and 2 boys!!! But I have always had a notion of what I am having and have NEVER been wrong!

I have always sneakily found out the sex of my baby at 4d scans behind DHs back, and always confessed, except with our last baby which i never confessed about and DH said "its better not knowing ay" after he was born, to which i said "I knew!" LOL!!!!!!

I'd love to find out again, DH says he doesnt want to, maybe I will, maybe I wont as its our last baby, but just for the record, so far, its well early but i think a girl, or maybe just hope!

Yea, it takes about an hour, they basically put all your details on the computer, previous pregnancies etc, obviously not for a first baby!

Weigh you, dunno why - they have only ever weighed me on my first visit?

Fill out your book that you will need to take to the hospital for scans and blood tests and the rest of your appointments and book your next midwife appointment.

Its fairly boring really. Your first scans the best bit!

I loved my first pregnancy, every day felt like a week waiting for scans and appointments, I read books and filled out my baby journal (my 1st born has a full journal, 2nd born half a journal, 3rd born has a journal with nothing written in it at all - LOL!), and when she was born my world changed and I loved her like I had never loved before. AMAZING! Enjoy every precious minute

I was thinking of a home birth

Do it Megan! It was great, and they are nicer to you in your own home i think? You can have as many people as you like there with you too which is great.

My family and friends were not sure they would do it, just in case something went wrong, but i think with 2nd or more labours they leave you for hours on your own in hospital, with a home birth they are in the room with you the whole time constantly monitoring you and I felt if things were going wrong they would know way before a midwife in the hospital, whos dealing with someone else at the same time as you.

We are only 10 minutes from the hospital too so if an emergency occured I felt safe enough.

9 buddies but 10 of us! You forgot yourself Leanne!

 

[moggi]

I definitely want to find out what i'm having too as it was so long ago that i had my girls and it was policy not to tell you at my hospital grrrrrr! Was convinced my second daughter was a boy and i was quite surprised when she popped out lol. I'd be over the moon with either obviously but secretly really want a boy

 

[minidancer]

How old are your little girls, do you think they will be a good help when baby arrives? I would like a boy too since I alteady have a girl but another wee girl would be brilliant too as long as baby is happy ans healthy that's all that mattters! xx

 

[BrandysBabies]

We will definitely find out what the baby is. DH has already decided on the girl name, well first name anyway. He wants to call her Chloe. Which I think is very cute. We are really hoping for a girl, but will be overjoyed with either. No boy names picked out yet. I am just so scared to even think about any of this yet. It's almost like I dont want to think of the pregnancy as real until we get to that safe zone. But, you just can't help it. There is a baby growing inside me and I will cherish it for as long as I have it.

ROFL!!! sounds like something I would do if DH didn't want to find out the sex!! But lucky for me he wanted to know/wants to know too! we had a private gender scan at 16w with ds1 as we were soooo impatient and think will do the same again this time as we do not mind the gender but just want to know!! like...yesterday! I'd kind of like another boy because that means dh would be more keen to have a 3rd and final child, whereas if we have a girl we have a matching set and would be done (he thinks!!)

Plus it was really nice to have the reassurance that baby was ok midway between the dating scan & 20w scan. so excited!! xx

 

[minidancer]

Aw that's great that your appointment went well Nicola. Even better that you get to meet with your midwife so soon!

We will need to remember what we all think we are having and see if we end up being right xx

 

[dt1234565]

Good idea!!!

Dont be so sure!!!

I was having 2 babies, and having them close together so I could get all the nappy and bottle stuff out the way.

DH always wanted 4, I wanted 2.

Then DD started school and I wanted another, now DH has got his number 4 (fx)!!!

ya never know!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, me and DH were talking about a new car - need 6 seats now, a loft conversion and everything last night!

We know we shouldnt get carried away, but what the heck, enjoy every minute while the going is good.

We have a 6 sestet car! A fiat multipla. But now we will need a 7 seater and I have a step son too so this is in theory number 5!!

Just got back from doctors. I have my blue notes!!!!! Woo hoo and a kidney infection too boooooooo
Never mind.
Can't wait for the dating scan

 

[gypsy1981]

Debbie - thanks for the info, it all feels a bit overwhelming at the minute so it's nice to know what to expect. I'm going to do a pregnancy journal for my baby too, I've seen a lovely one in mothercare that I want but I feel like I'm tempting fate buying it so soon. I have a pregnancy app on my phone which allows you to put in diary entries so I'm using that for now.

Suze - thanks, it feels more real now that I have a midwife appointment. She called me back this afternoon and I'm seeing her on Tuesday at 3:30pm!

Megan - what are blue notes? Bad news about your kidney infection, hope it's not too painful!
