Mum to someone

hmm it's so hard isn't it cos these children are going to have the name forever so I'd like one which isn't too babyish but on the other hand isn't too adult iycwim.

yes, FIL (as I call him as never met DH's RD) was so chuffed when I was talking to him about our baby book, and said oh no DH want's u and MIL's pics to go in he doesn't want RD's to go in at all, (then MIL asked why on the sly sort of thing so I told her quite simply as DH has told me that he doesn't have a dad called * it's Paul (SD) end of discussion, MIL said SD would be made up to hear that)

thomas no 3 as in GF DH and son?

NO, sorry wasn't very clear, "Thomas no.3" cos she knows so many babies called Thomas! I told my friend to give her a slap!
Our next door neighbour told us the test was to go into a park and shout the chosen name of your baby out 3 times, if you're not embarrassed or inundated with lots of lil ones...it's a good choice....
I mean, could you imagine shouting "Get here Saxon!" in Asda????

We have a Thomas - and there are lots of them about! When he was born it didn't cross our minds because we didn't know anyone with children and weren't thinking ahead to school - now there are 4 Thomas's in his preschool class! We also have a Rosie, btw. This one will probably be Francis for a boy and Hannah for a girl. I like traditional names, but am careful now to choose reasonably uncommon ones!

RP Thomas was my preferred choice for DS, but is his middle name as DH's nephew is calld Thomas!!! I love the name...there are none round here either!

Time for me to butt in!!!!
Took us ages to think of names for our girls-in fact none of them had names until they were 2-3 days old!
Finally came up with:
Natalie Lauren
Kiara Meriel (DH chose her middle name as it means shining water & we live near the sea)
and Melissa Rose.
Won't find out the sex of this one as our health authority won't tell you, so hopefully its a boy cos we found the names easier to choose! We like Daniel & Matthew but as our surname starts with E middle names are a bit more difficult.

Hello Girls - Oooh have missed you all so much! Had to go away to head office for a few days and although I had a fab time it was not the same not being able to chat to people that understand all these PG issues. I have been living it up in Hollywood as I was hosting one of our important buyers but had to go to all these posh places and have no alcohol - so of all my drunken colleagues.
Glad to hear of all your scan's and that you have pics of your beanies, mine is 8th Sept and I can't wait.
Had a bad sicky day today but they are few and far between now so feeling lucky for that

Morning all!

Does anyone fancy ringing my Mum and telling her I'm pg again??!

She's going to kill me!!!

Only if you phone mine...

I know just how you feel. I promised myself that I would break the news following my dating scan 2 1/2 weeks ago but I bottled out and then thought that I would tell her on Thursday following my nuchal scan but I have spoken to her everyday since then and I haven't found the courage.

(My mum comes from the school of thougth that says I should have quit at 2 since both genders were represented!)

Let me know how it all goes. I was thinking that maybe I will just send a birth announcement in March.

same problem here - one of each which are a handful enough so I just know there's going to be questions and lectures!!!

Silly isn't it - having two children of your own and still scared to tell your Mum!!

I have three of my own... I live more that 3000 km from my mother (which is 3000 closer than when we lived in the UK) but I still can't tell her.

To be honest, part of the reason is because should something go wrong (I have had 3 late missed-miscarriages) I don't want to listen to her lecture about how better off I am having lost the baby.

Do you think that your mother will react badly?

My mother nearly flipped when I announced my pregnancy with #3 because she thought that I had 'learned' from my miscarriage. She asked me if I knew about birth control so I told her that if I did, it certainly wasn't thanks to information that she should have passed on to me at an age-appropriate time so she left it at that.

I think she will probably tell me that I'm stupid, mad, anything but be positive!! She may prove me wrong but the fact I'm more scared to tell her about this one is my instinct telling me i'm in for it!!

I told her about the other two in a text message that's terrible isn't it lol

Text message is not exactly personal but not quite as terrible as my fantasy about sending a birth announcement in March!

I really hope that she surprises you by being pleased for you and that she tells you how great a mother you are and how this baby is blessed to have you and such amazing sibblings looking forward to his/her arrival...

Let us know how it really plays out.

Thanks Cadmum - here's hoping! Fingers crossed for you too.

Thanks! I am off for the rest of the week-end to a friend's cottage on the lake. Looking forward to having other adults to talk to and many children for ours to play with..

Back on Monday.

Hope you are all well.

Good luck with breaking the news, Cadmum and Swiper. My family already know but I'm being a bit of a coward when it comes to telling other people. Ds1 and ds2 are both autistic and I'm sure people will think we're mad for wanting another baby!

I think it will take us the whole 9 months to choose names as we're so indecisive. It doesn't help that the hospital policy is not to tell the baby's sex so we'll have to think of a name for a boy and one for a girl. My appointment for the dating scan has arrived. It's on 8th September when I will/should be 12 weeks exactly.

I've one of each and spent ages plucking up the courage to tell my mother too. I was 9 weeks when I did. She reacted exactly as I thought she would - turned green and staggered about a bit, before telling me I was mad and how hard having three children is. She's slowly coming around, I did feel a huge sense of relief afterwards - better out than in, lol. Good luck!

eurgh! We went out for a drive this morning and I had my photo taken with a scenic view in the background. I've put on so much weight! I was wearing a normal top, which was too tight and I look horrendous. So, I've put all my non maternity clothes away now and have ordered some new maternity tops - I'm only 14 weeks! But, they hide my flab. Roll on next year. . .

Just got back from taking step kids swimming, was in the pool telling step son how i was tierd because im pg he looked up and said "you do look a bit fatter", i love how kids are honist!

Just back from holiday. Spent a large part of it at the local hospital, having told the kids we were going out to look for a garage to fix the car. The plus point was that the hospital was fabulous, much much better than my local hospital and way more efficient. Had a scan Tuesday night and they couldn't find a heartbeat so we had warning that something was wrong. They offered to admit me! That was a shock. (Regretted not doing so after a very wild and windy night in our tent). Went back in again Thursday morning and the first thing the radiographer said was that it wasn't the right size for an 11 week pg, and an irregular shape. She did a very thorough scan (internal and external) and said there was a sac but no fetal pole. The doctor said they wanted me to be re-scanned in a week to double check, though it seemed pretty clear cut to us.

Now we're home I don't know quite what to do. I was supposed to have the nuchal scan on Wedneday. Do I just go to that and tell them what's happened or should I ring the EPU tomorrow? TBH I wanted to stay where we were and get everything sorted there instead of coming home.

OldFool I'm so incredibly sorry.

Hopefully the others will have better advice for you but I think it sounds as though you'd be better off staying where you are and just phoning the hospital where your nuchal scan was going to be, rather than going back to tell them. I wish I knew what else to say.

So sorry to hear oldfool I think if it was me i'd ring the EPU and see what they advise you to do.

Sorry i know that's not much help to you Hopefully someone here will know a bit more

(((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))

OF - i'm so sorry to you honney. ((((hugs)))) as swiper says ring the EPU and see what they suggestt/u're M/W.

I'm floating about but my parents here this w/e so will resume normal services on tues.

Very sorry to hear your news oldfool. It must have been very hard being away from home and trying to keep it from the kids.
