Come hither all those who haven't found their place on mumsnet, have scrapped in Aibu or crossed words in chat. The buddy bench shalt not judge.

The buddy bench will hand out wine and cakes, it will join you on your scoffathons getting pissed

All those who enter the Gazebo and sit on the bench, will have their sins erased and be given a warm welcome and cheerful chat from CheerfulYank, gomummy, tired mum, Elmo, AF, HE, Cheesey and far, far too many more to mention.

Welcome to the buddy bench, we look forward to meeting you all Smile

CheerfulYank · 27/10/2010 16:08

What? What?

Tiredmumno1 · 27/10/2010 16:21

The stupid idiots wouldnt tell us, we were both up for knowing, so we asked, only to be told we dont do that here. Hmm really, well my consultant told me with ds1 and they even asked me if i wanted to know with ds2, all at the same hospital.

so i am pretty damn annoyed with them, i will mention it to my consultant, who i will see in about 4 weeks, just to say i am not impressed

everything is fine btw,
just Sad about not being told the sex.

gomummygo · 27/10/2010 17:09

Well firstly, very happy for you Tiredmum that everything is fine. :)

But GRR at your ultrasound tech not telling you! Clearly they do not appreciate our your need for this information. For example, how are we to know if we are to refer to TiredmumsDS3 or TiredmumsDD1, let alone make our helpful name suggestions? Grr. Could you see anything on the screen?

elmofang · 27/10/2010 17:24

Aww tiredmum dont fret , i bet the consultant will be able to tell you the next time you see him . I had an early scan on dd at 12-14 weeks after a dreadful pregnancy / birth on ds , we had decided not to find out the sex but when we were sitting in front of the consultant she asked me was my first baby a boy or girl & when i said a boy she picked up my scan picture that was inside my chart & gave us a huge smile but said nothing but her smile said it all tbh Smile . OK i need to catch up on this thread to see what have i missed x

elmofang · 27/10/2010 17:25

I have missed Blush

CheerfulYank · 27/10/2010 17:41

Hmmph! Tell them they're facing the Wrath of the Bench and they'd better 'fess up sharpish.

But am very excited everything is going well!

Tiredmumno1 · 27/10/2010 17:41

No i couldnt tell by looking at the screen lol, i am useless

the consultant wont be able to tell me, cos he probably wont do a scan, i think that appt is to discuss a normal birth or a c-section again, oh well just my luck, i will ask him why the policy seems to have changed, i think it should be our decision

i must have got the grumpy sonographer today Grin

CheerfulYank · 27/10/2010 17:49

Yeah, that's odd that he wouldn't tell you! Here they practically tell you without asking.

gomummygo · 27/10/2010 17:59

Tiredmum maybe the sonographer's report to your consultant will have it in though?

Here they ask, but even if they hadn't, DS was v. obvious on the screen. Tech actually said something like "would you like to know, well, erm, if you can't tell already?" Grin

Cheerful did you get your house done? Was doing the windows (exterior) this morning and thinking of you.

CheerfulYank · 27/10/2010 18:02

Sort of. We have a bit of the trim left to do and since there was snow this morning I don't know if we'll get to it! It's supposed to warm up a bit this weekend so we'll see. :)

Tiredmumno1 · 27/10/2010 21:20

Lol gomummy, that would be wishful thinking but i have my notes, they gave them back to me Grin

maybe i should torture beg him to do a scan, for all of our mental sanity Grin

Teaandcakeplease · 27/10/2010 21:23

Watford never tell you. I paid £100 for a private scan both times to find out the sex Shock [mad woman emoticon]

Tiredmumno1 · 27/10/2010 21:45

Grin

You are not mad Tea, I would have paid too if I had to! :)

What's new and exciting with you HE? Oh you must submit your baby name suggestions to Tiredmum!

Cheerful that's great that you are so far along with the house, what a lot of work, huh?

Rhinestone · 28/10/2010 03:28

Er, hi

Haven't been an active poster for very long but have had one scrap (with MN regular), two posters have implied I'm stupid and one poster has been a little bit superior quite honestly!

Please can I come and play with you? I'm nice and not stupid at all!

Teaandcakeplease · 28/10/2010 08:22
