That sounds sensible Buffy, I'm in two minds to wait longer because I'll be 10&3 Christmas Eve I think, so would love to be able to share with my family Christmas Day with a pic that resembles a baby 😂👶🏼 But is that silly a week and a half before my first proper scan... ahhhh decisions xx

That's lovely! I really want to keep it a secret until at least 12 weeks from everyone except family and very close friends but it's going to be difficult with Christmas parties etc xx

Haha that is tough! I would probably get the early scan & give it as a Christmas present.

With our DD, we announced on Christmas even though we hadn't had a scan yet. We wrapped up a "baby on board" sign in a box and had my family unwrap it.

That's lovely! I really want to keep it a secret until at least 12 weeks from everyone except family and very close friends but it's going to be difficult with Christmas parties etc Xx

I’ve already told one of my sisters and my in laws and a couple of friends. We might do a surprise with the next one.

I've had to tell a girl I work with (we are all quite close) as they are organising a trip to Amsterdam in May for her hen weekend.....I do not want to go on a party boat for 3 days at 7months pregnant. I can't lie to save myself, so told her the truth lol. They all know I mc this year and are so supportive, so will no doubt know soon enough anyway.

Love the stork idea Livvy, I've been wrong with both my boys lol. We did find out with ds1 as it was all new and I felt I needed to know to bond better. With ds2 we kept it a surprise. We wanted my OH tell me the sex at birth and it was really special.

I think it will be another boy!

It's sooo special to have him tell you isn't it?? Funny story... with my first, everyone wanted it to be a boy. My mom was in the delivery room with me, and when he was born she exclaimed "IT'S A BOY!!" before my husband could say anything. I still tease her about that to this day.

I like that idea! Mark me down for boy, as that’s my first instinct!! We shall see in a few months.

This is my second pregnancy, first baby, and it feels totally different than my last one! Today I’m having (sorry Tmi) milky, creamy discharge but it has a yellow tinge.. pale yellow... normal? Every little thing this pregnancy makes me panic a little bit!

 

[JWC13]

Oh forgot to say -- it might be fun for each one of us to guess what we're having, then Buffy can add that color stork next to our EDD and see who's right and who's wrong! maybe to the left of the EDD? Then when we find out can move the correct one to the right? Just a thought!

Oh I love that idea

Please mark me down for a boy. I have no feelings one way or another as to what I think it is, but I'm just really hoping for a boy.

 

[Alligator]

I've also already told my parents/sisters and my bff. DH is more anxious and wants to wait a bit before telling his family, but I am close with his sister and we talk often, it's hard not to slip up and mention it!

I also have this, I think it’s normal


We are telling my Mum, Nan and Grandad tomorrow with the balloon reveal. I’m nervous! Partner told his mum and she was silent for a second and said ‘oh, okay. Congratulations’ I was like what the hell?

 

[Alligator]

Unique - glad it's not just me! I've read it's normal. So long as it's not a vile smell or itchy, there's just a lot more going on down there lol.

Sorry about your MILs reaction..how strange.

 

[yourstruly10]

Hey ladies.

I'd love to join in. I will warn I'm horrible at keeping up with everyone though lol. I try. I really do. I'm currently due July 19th with a surprise 5th baby. We DID once last month and I thought it was late enough in that I'd ovulated already. I was wrong. We are happy though
We told family first. Most family was great. My husband's parents think we are being stupid ( although they have 5 kids themselves)
And this is our Facebook announcement.

I'm guessing girl right now but I'm usually very wrong haha.

No real symptoms other then the odd slight nauseated moment.

MIL already has 8 grandchildren so that’s probably why. She never sees my two anyway, she probably sees them once or twice a year. She makes no effort to come and see them but can quite easily fly out to her villa in Spain every month.

Congrats, yourstruly!

My name is Rebecca by the way, everyone calls me Beckii :wave:

Welcome and what a great announcement! Did you announce already? Xxx

 

[JLH85]

Are any of you ladies anxious at every pull/twinge/ache in your tummy at the moment? I feel like it's sooooo early that it's making me nervous about everything I feel... I've even peed on opks today and yesterday to see the colour as I have no hpts 🙈 I feel crazy xxx

No, not crazy. I worry with every twinge I feel. Especially bad when I go to the toilet I’m always worried there will be spotting on the tissue

 

[yourstruly10]

JLH we did announce. I was going to wait but I've had a miscarriage and a blighted ovum in the past and the idea of having to explain while asking for help after vs people already knowing just makes me uncomfortable.

I get nervous every time I feel wet down there. Rushing to the bathroom to make sure it's not blood.
So far so good. I don't see my doctor until the 27th for the first appointment though.

 

[JLH85]

Unique beauty - I'm glad it's not just me! I feel exactly the same every time I go to the bathroom

Yourstruly10 - I think the picture is wonderful. I haven't even called the DR yet since my AF is only actually due this coming Sunday 🙈 They don't do anything here at all except book you to see a midwife around week 8, so I figured I would wait until next week and call them. At the moment it doesn't seem real at all xx

 

[Buffyx]

Hi Yourstruly! Congrats + welcome

Twinges and cramping reassures me. I know that my body must be making room for baby

Would anyone else like me to add a gender guess next to their name?

 

[Livvy]

What a cute announcement yourstruly!!

JLH my doctor is the same. I won't even call him until December. :/

Edited to add: I'm guessing boy Buffy! It may just be wishful thinking...

 

[Buffyx]

Anyone think they are having twins?! I can pop you down for 2 coloured storks

YES. All day, everyday. Anxious! After suffering a MC this summer every little thing has me wondering. I check the TP after every trip to the bathroom to make sure there's no spotting. It's really overwhelming at times.
