It wasn’t wind... it was a baby!

[Ohshitx]

So here’s part 2 (which is crazy to me)

There isn’t really an update as such I should hear today or tomorrow regarding a scan. I’ve got the MW again on Thursday and I suppose this week will be the week of grand reveals.

I’m sorry if I disappear for a day at a time I’m still trying to wrap my own head around this.

Sorry to hear about the wait for the scan OP.

And good luck with telling everyone, I’m sure it will all be fine once their over the shock

A cmw thinks you’re 30+ weeks and the hospital won’t scan before?! I’m surprised you weren’t sent up to that day for a scan to be honest.

Did you get a set handheld notes have you got the wards/antenatal day unit numbers on them? Might be worth a query call tomorrow I think.

Gosh, if the hospital won't see you until then I'd be booking a private one immediately. A while well could be too late! 😆

You've got this, OP.

You're handling this all so, so well

Congratulations on your second child. Often little surprises like this were just meant to be.

I hope you get a scan date shortly because it sounds like that will put your mind at ease a little.

Take care

A whole week... blooming autocorrect

Good luck stay safe xx

If you can afford it OP, book a private scan if you can so you can get seen sooner, it may put your mind at rest a little and give you the courage to tell your DM and DS.

Hi OP, what a surprise you've had, I can hardly imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you must be feeling. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and struggling with various symptoms, must be very strange to get to 30+ weeks without realising. It's a shame you can't get a scan any sooner - do you think that will help to make it feel more real?
Best of luck telling your FWB. I'm sure the anticipation of telling him is probably worse than actually telling him and it should be a relief to get it off your chest.
Please don't put off telling your mum for too long either, you could do with her support.

Good luck, you sound awesome and totally got this. Hope you receive nothing but support from those around you 😊

Good luck hope it all goes well

PS As for working out the due date, if you have a good idea of the date you conceived, it will be 38 weeks after that. So if you want a due date when you're telling people, you could give that as a provisional one. (And we all know most babies aren't born on their due dates anyway!)

Woah! What a shock. for you! Good luck with everything!

I hope your scan goes well. x

You’re doing brilliantly OP and we’re all right behind you.

Good luck with your scan and telling FWB

I can't believe they are not scanning u sooner, can you book a private scan OP, I know most places have opened since 1st June

Did the midwife talk to you about the whooping cough vaccine btw? You should have it ASAP if you haven't had it yet.

Thinking of you OP. I read your original thread yesterday. My very best wishes to you

You will be fine even if your friend isn't on board.

I am thinking this will be exciting for the sonographer too.

Congratulations! Good luck with the conversation with fwb.

What do you think he'll say? What do you want him to say?

I can totally imagine that people will question if you knew, especially since you are officially single.

I think I'd invite your friend over and tell him face to face. In fact I think I'd talk to him tonight and say, you have something to tell him can he come round tomorrow.

It sort of prepares him for something and makes it slightly easier actually open the conversation tomorrow.

Your mum, I just don't know how I'd tell her. Do you think FWB would be willing to tell her with you?
Only you know if that is a good or a bad idea.

Good luck with telling FWB. Unless you have form for lying, I don't see why people close to you would doubt you! Yes, they might find it incredulous at first, but I doubt that they'll think that you've known all along! There's going to be no easy way to tell anyone other than just telling it as it is. Just be brave, pick up the phone and tell them. Perhaps send FWB a text first telling him that you have something very important that you need to discuss with him first. At least you will then know that he's all ears when you call. And it stops you from backing out. It also allows him to get his head around it too, ahead of the scan, if he wishes to attend.

Wow and you must be further on than 3 months to feel movement. Awesome news!!! Congratulations..all my love and all the best! I'm also pregnant with baby number 5. Still cant believe it too. Also a wonderful surprise

Oh good luck OP, I hope all these conversations go well
