Scan tomorrow!
Nervous but excited just hope all is okay tbh think it's lying there and waiting to see that baby on the screen and its actually real!
 
The school year cutoff is different here. In NY it's December 1 so my son with an October birthday will be one of the younger ones in his class. The cutoff is not the same every where in the US...it's different in every state
 
I worry a little about potty training with this lo being at the younger end of the class (kids start full time school at 3 in my area) so baby will only be 3yrs 2 months when he/she goes to school. But Xander was trained well before then so I'm not even sure why I'm worried about it.

Thanks very much ladies! I'm. So very happy to be leaving my 20s behind. My 30s are going to be wonderful!
 
Surely nobody has that much control over when they fall pregnant? you'd have have to be pretty darn fertile :haha: I'm just grateful to be pregnant at all, the month has never featured in our plans.

Happy birthday Pixie!

Good luck with your scan tomorrow Becyboo__x :)
 
That's true, I mean even for a completely 'normal' fertile couple it can be anything from 1 month to 6 months to get pregnant so people who manage to plan down to the month when their baby is born are pretty lucky!

Happy birthday Pixie :)

Good luck with your scan Beccy, I think I'm one of the last to be scanned??
 
Angel I feel sure you're having a girl! By the nub theory at least... I do totally understand what you're saying xx

Rhi I also have two boys who are the most bloody amazing people in the world and I could not bear to think if either had been girls as they are so brilliant together! I would love to give them a sister this time. Like you I feel sure it's s boy. My scan got 50/50 boy vs girl guesses lol so none the wiser. Either way we are definitely finished this time x
 
Also Angel if it helps I also still feel crappy a lot of the time. Still very nauseous, still have the awful taste in my mouth and still exhausted and headachey and falling asleep on the sofa every night.... #sadface
 
Now we're very close to announcing I'm not looking forward to gender comments, I'm just dreading certain family members saying they hope we have a girl. I know it doesn't matter what people think but pregnancy makes me very sensitive.
 
That would be so nerve wracking knowing the hospital is going to be so cram packed full of others delivering babies at the same time. Especially if it means sometimes there isn't even a bed! I was very fortunate with my daughter that we were the only two patients on the entire floor the whole time we were up there until hours before we were to be discharged. I doubt I will be THAT lucky again but it would be nice for it to be pretty calm once more.

Can't wait for a scan update from you tomorrow Beccy!
 
We didn't think of the month either! I'm glad there will be no chance of snow on route to the hospital though.
 
My son is Nov Baby and K cutoff here is Jan 1. I'm already torn about whether to send a him at 4 or 5. I'm leaning towards waiting a year but we will see.

Hell, I am so sick today. I can't belive how bad it still is with meds. This is so different and so much worse.
 
I'm with vanilla - I'm just lucky and shocked to be here at all, there could be no timing it for us.

When I had Xander it was pretty busy, there was a lady in maternity triage using gas and air and screaming like a crazy lady waiting for a bed. And then I came in, my contractions had stopped but I had pre eclampsia and they sent me through before her. At the time I barely noticed, I was feeling so shitty, but afterwards I felt really guilty about it!

The hospital was full the whole time though, there were no empty beds on the ward and one of the ladies that was next to me had had an emergency section at 24 weeks. It was so awful that she had to sit on the ward with us and our massive babies while hers was so poorly, it took them two days to get her a private room.
 
Not maternity but I work on an Acute Medical Unit as a nurse and it is insane at the moment. This week we have had a 3 hour wait for ambulances to even bring their patients in the building and pre alerts being clerked in the corridors. It's the scariest I've ever seen it but there are simply no beds. The ambulance service is currently receiving as many calls as they would expect on new year's Eve (not all appropriate either).

Fortunately the trust I work at is lucky enough to have a sister hospital so if maternity gets too busy they transfer to the other hospital but that is why I chose to have my babies in a different trust. I didn't want the risk of it being so busy that I suddenly had to make an hour trip instead of 15 minutes.
 
Good luck today Beccy!

Dory that's awful. It's the inappropriate patients that get my goat. It should be poss to fine them for wasting resources and/or being idiots...

I agree that it's really bad when people waste resources and doctor's times, it's like they think the world revolves around them! I've always thought they should tax the source of the problems more i.e nightclubs, think of how much is spent on cleaning up roads, police and A&E departments because of drunk people.

The ward I was on was packed too, there were no empty beds and it was noisy chaos and they really didn't enforce the visitor rules - one bed next to me had a large group of friends there all the damn time and they were so loud! I got wheeled into the ward so went straight into a delivery room, but was ignored soon as my butt touched the bed :haha:
 
14+6 got put back 1 day so I wasn't far off due 2nd June baby healthy and wriggling around :)

Gender guessing is going to drive me crazy now .. OH thinks boy .. I'm unsure compared to Ds I think girl but :shrug: 20 week scan is 18th January
 
Aw gorgeous scan pics!

My baby was planned down to the last detail. My other twos birthdays are 1st Dec and 4th Jan, December absolutley cripples me. We wanted a baby when the weather was nice, we haspve massive back garden and I would love nothing more than a bbq and bouncy castle in the garden for a party.
So there was a gap from April - June where I wanted to have the baby. Luckily we fell first time, first month of trying. Else we would have tried next year...

Been sick a few times over the past few days. And I thought I was over it.

9 days till my scan!
 
Lovely scan pics, amazing how much more developed baby looks then scans from 11/12 weeks! x
