End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[pebbie1]

Awwww that'll be lovely to hear babies heartbeat next week.
My scan is 27th of December as scan department are closed over Xmas.
On the first page where the list with everyone's due date is I'm adding behind it what everyone is expecting or if they're team yellow

 

[babyface15]

My scan is Dec 21 so it will feel like Christmas for me this is my first as we don't tend to get the 12 week one here unless there's a reason. you can put me down for team yellow BC we've decided to keep the gender as a surprise

 

[pebbie1]

Are you going to find out and not tell or not find out at all?
We don't want to know till baby is born. I'll still try to peek at the scan though hahaha

Has anyone tried guessing gender from the heart beat? they say slower is boy and faster girl. Mine sounded slowish yesterday so hoping the old wives tale is true for me x

 

[pebbie1]

Hahahaa that would be girl for me then. My hearts beating so fast! Did the Chinese gender scan and the wedding ring test and both said boy

 

[charbaby]

chinese gender say boy, was correct with older 2 but havent done ring test x

 

[passion4shoes]

chinese gender said girl for me. It got it right last time with boy - but it is only 50:50!

The hb thing is weird though, on the doppler it sounds like a train, but then if I tilt it just a touch it does the galloping horses. Does that mean mine is a hermaphrodite? (according to the figures it is one in 500!!)

What is the ring test?

I will def try to sneak a peak at the scan too. Have you looked at the scan photo on the thread 'Pink potty'? It is brilliant!

 

[babyface15]

nope we don't want to find out until the lo is born either. i'm going to try really hard not to look BC I really want that surprise heh. my fil did the needle test (not sure what the ring test entails but they're probably similar) and the needle kept going from boy to girl to boy to girl etc. so the needle test either predicts a hermaphrodite or twins for me lol!

 

[pebbie1]

Hahahahah that's so funny!
The ring test is get a hair and put your wedding ring or another ring on and hold it above your bump. I did it twice, hold it still above the bump, then let go and it was hanging there doing nothing and all of a sudden it started to move! If it goes in a circle it's a boy and if it goes side to side it's a girl. But mind you, I have heard as well it's the other way around!!
The Chinese gender calendar was right with my girl.

[SleepyOwl]

If we're going by heartbeat, mine would be a girl (170 bpm). But the ring test came out with boy! There's def. only one in there lol, so they both can't be right. I'm happy either way since this is my first though.

Our anatomy and gender scan is December 28 - I am SO excited to finally find out.

 

[SleepyOwl]

My bump is ! WOOHOOOOO

Congratulations!!

OMG I feel for you!!! I'm up 3-4 times a night to pee but I couldn't imagine having to go that far to do it

 

[pebbie1]

Awwwww that's not good! I need to get up and I struggle as well to fall asleep after that
Looking forward to putting up Xmas decorations tomorrow!

Just spoke to my mum in Holland an it's snowing loads! Hope it'll be like that when we go over in 3 weeks This is her garden now. There's about 2cm snow now and they're expecting 15cm today!

 

[babyface15]

I'll have to try the ring test today I have the day off work to finish packing because we are moving into our new home tomorrow!!!!!!! Yippeeee!!!!!!!!

Exciting about all the gender/anatomy scans! It's great we all have them about the same time I'm feeling good char, what sin you have to go downstairs to pee, must make it hard to get back to sleep.

The snow looks lovely and festive. We had a nice amount down here but it's since warmed up and rained and it's all gone. Probably best for the move anyway!

 

[passion4shoes]

Are you moving very far? It must be really hard work to do whilst you are pregnant. I don't envy you. And right before christmas!!! You must be one of those super-duper organised people!

I can't wait to find out what you're all having. I am going by the law of averages and hoping that you are all having boys and then I stand more of a chance of having a girl - not that I'm too fussed, just gives me an excuse to pop out another fairly soon after!

I am going to my parents this weekend to celebrate christmas with them (so two christmases for me too!). We are at OH's this year. Is anyone actually staying at home with their own little families, or do most of us go to parents/ inlaws/ relatives?

 

[pebbie1]

We normally would go to my oh's family in Surrey and then to my family in holland. We'd swap every year where we'd go first. It was quite tiring though as my parents are divorced and not on speaking terms so we'd have 3 Xmas meals!
This year though my oh's parents have moved to France so were not going to Surrey. We are actually at home over Xmas for the first time in 6 years, which is since I've been with my oh. So were having our first ever Xmas in our home. On the 27th I have my scan and then were jumping in the car straight to holland and were staying there till the 4th of Jan. will be a bit more relaxed

 

[passion4shoes]

That sounds lovely. What a nice break. Your usual xmas sounds incredibly busy!

Are you tempted to find out gender at the scan? I wonder how easy it would be to spot the little bits if we watched closely!

 

[pebbie1]

No, we didn't find out with our daughter and it was amazing when she was born. I will have a sneaky peek though hahahaha
My mum is desperate to know lol
