*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

[whizzyrocket]

Can I join in? A bit later than your chat I know, but I did a digital test this morning and I'm 2-3 weeks pregnant which puts me firmly in November!

It was snowing when both I and my OH were born, so it'll be amazing to have fireworks to herald the birth of our November babies!!

congratulations and welcome we are still thinking of a good name for our november due date babies so any ideas are more than welcome xx

Loola... you poor thing... I need my sleep! Hope your sickness switches to day time!

Hubby already thinks it's a girl... he thought our MMC was a boy.. before we lost it of course.. so I don't know if that is a reason why he thinks it's a girly!

Whizzy (Alice) welcome aboard... this is for all November Mummys... so of course you can join us! Congrats on your BFP hun

ive got a feeling its a girl as well for me.
i feel exactly like i did with my angel who was a girl and i had a feeling about her being a girl.
seems im quite intune with my intuition. i had a feeling i was having twins before finding out it was first time round, then i just knew it was one of each and it was, with my angel i just knew something was wrong with her and knew she was a girl and turns out she was very poorly indeed and of course a girl.
so only trime will tell. are you going to find out or wait until the very end for the surprise? xx

 

[whizzyrocket]

Thanks! It is exciting! I've been looking at prams online this morning- quite fun!

Mummycat, so sad for your mc, but Charlotte is beautiful and so will your next little nugget be. Do you know whether you want a girl or a boy?

I live in a very male environment (husband= flight lieutenant in RAF) so a girl would be nice but I don't mind either way really. It's super! And superbly scary! I know I'm married and it's normal, but I'm worried about telling my mum and my best-friend! Silly really. When will you tell other people?

 

[LoolaBear]

only DH (and SIL as shes a member of BnB) will know until the 12 week scan. with the problems my angel had they want to do some in depth tests at my 12 week appt so will know if its safe to tell people then. xx

 

[MummyCat]

Loola.. there is a lot to be said about Mum's intuition. I've always known when we were pregnant... even with my chemical.. my body is crap at keeping secrets!
We KNEW Lottie was going to be a little girl... just had a feeling!

Sorry about your loss... It really sucks doesn't it! How far along were you?

Are your twins boys/girls, identical/fraternal? and what symptoms did you have with them? if you don't mind me asking?

Whizz.. it's enormous fun the first time round... because it's all very new and exciting and good luck choosing a pram/travel system... it was harder for us to decide on one of those than it was on what car to buy a couple years previous!
Thank you so much.. My little Lottie is a cheeky cherub and hopefully will have a sibling to entertain her soon. I really really don't mind what we have... one of each would be lovely, but equally.. we've had so much fun with her.. another little girl would be great! We will not be finding out... team yellow till the end (same as last time)

Your Mum and best friend will be thrilled... I wouldn't be worried about telling them! We've told immediate family and I've told a few close friends, those that know me inside and out and are my support system. We're still debating as when to mention to others... most likely we'll wait till 12 weeks.

 

[whizzyrocket]

It does seem to make sense to wait until then, but torture at the same time. Already I felt like a liar talking to my best friend and when she asked for my news saying "nothing much."

Loola, good luck with your tests. Try not to worry. And let us know! I'm glad this forum is here. Otherwise I'd go mad with noone to talk to! Having twins runs in my family too- I'm hoping for an easier roll of the die with my first baby though!

 

[MummyCat]

Oh yeah... the feeling of deceit gets worse as you get closer to 12 weeks... but it's a good feeling once it's all out in the open!

This forum has kept me sane many a time... it's great, I joined when I found out I was pregnant with Lottie! and I''m still here!

 

[LoolaBear]

i just knew i was pregnant with my angel and with this one, thats why i even started testing at 8dpo
i was 17 weeks when i lost her. She had numerous amounts of problems but they said it was just one of those unfortunate things that could happen to anyone. but they said to be on the safe side i will have a more indepth scan at 12 weeks and a follow up at 16 weeks with extra bllood screening at my 12 week as well just to be on the safe side mext time i fall pregnant (now )
even though i have a feeling about this one and knowing how impatient i am i really want to try and wait until baby is born, dont know how long that will last though
the twins are fraternal, one of each. they are almost 18 months now, and growing up into proper little people, so scary. im going to have my handsful with my little man i think as hes already too much like his dad!!!
lol you got any names sorted yet? ive got it down to two of each, but then i like looking at names when not pregnant and DH said i could name this baby and he will name the next (who will also be our last). Knowing me i will probably change my mind later on as i like too many names!!

 

[whizzyrocket]

I know my mum and best friend will be pleased, but it is still a big thing for me to say aloud let alone to anyone else! I might call my elder sister later though and let her in on things- she's pregnant too (due in June) so it might be easier.

So far as gender goes, I don't know if we will find out or not. When my sisters had their boys it was very obvious on the scans- one even had a bottom view! Would you say it is very much more special to find out at the birth?

 

[MummyCat]

Awww.... so sorry about your little girl, but very pleased you'll have loads of medical support this time round!

Your little ones sound so cute! We still have the names from our MMC... James /Annabelle, they were the only two we could agree on up until that point. We've not brought up the names discussion yet and might wait till after 12 weeks before we start thinking of them!

Hi Girls! I've just found this thread and will join up if that's ok

I'm due I think around 1-4 November with number 3!!

I called the midwives yesterday and have an appointment for 2 weeks time! I've moved house since I had ds2 so it's with new people and a new place etc ...

Congrats to you all!!

i think it is, ive never done it, i found out with the twins, with two in there i wanted to know as i think i found it harder finding neutral stuff for two babies.

i just like the idea of the anticipation right up to the very last moment and then baby coming out and going 'its a girl'!! or 'its a boy'!! i just like the idea.
but then i hate surprises once i know im getting one i need to know what it is its got to the point now where DH tells me hes got me vouchers for my birthday or something a bit rubbish so that i dont realise im getting a nice lovely surprise. x

I like a lot of names too- and have been thinking about them for years! This is my shortlist:

Matilda, Adelaide (shortens to Heidi), Violet, Zoe, Amanda, Claudia, Penelope.

Reuben, Frederick, Henry, Albert (although my husband calls me this or Bertie, so it could be odd), Timothy, Edward, Theo.

My OH and I were talking about names in bed last night until 1am!

Do they normally take blood from you? I faint when I give blood! Could be fun! I gave blood last week not knowing I was pregnant. Could that have an impact on the young bean, do you think?

 

[Nyn]

I've just read the last few posts and I'm also wondering madly what to do about telling people. We'll tell all the friends etc at 12 weeks, but I'm seeing 2 close friends and my mum this week (my mum tomorrow!) and don't know what to do!! I have a feeling that if I wait then when I do tell her she'll wonder why I didn't say anything..

for the last 2, we waited till nearly 12 weeks but we didn't see them so it wasn't as big a deal.

ummm what to do??!

 

[Nyn]

Thanks loolabear!!

Taking blood isn't a problem.. I had lots taken with both my pregnancies and I had some taken a few days ago to confirm this pregnancy. I wouldn't worry

 

[LoolaBear]

i wont be announcing my girls names until very much later on in the pregnancy as ive found if i mention them to anyone (even on BnB!) within days ive gone off it
boys names though its a different story which i think is strange, if i mention it then it makes me like them more and not less!
so boys names we have are Jacob Elliott and Noah James. it was jsut Jacob Elliott until i had a dream last night of the name Noah James and i decided it had to be on my list. Strangely it was because i was dreaming about being at a gig for Noah and the Whale so not baby related at all.
I did have Annabel as a name for girls on my list, then i mention it to my sister and i went off it im strangely fickle. x

I love the month of November as it is my birthday so excited at the prospect of me and bean sharing my bday x

Thats great November is a special month too as my due date is the same date as my brothers birthday

But I know the chances of baby arriving on due date is very slim
