Thanks to all for you responses re scan news :)
JenniL I've still not felt much, but am getting the odd flutter now which may be baby! I wish he'd start moving properly for reassurance. Sorry you've got to wait so long for scan, it drove me mad waiting for mine, hope you start feeling yours move soon! Am also totally baffled by car seats and pushchairs, but am thinking of getting a BeSafe Izi Combi X3 car seat which will last from 6 months to 4 years old and stays rearfacing which is safer. www.paulstride.co.uk/group-0-1/besafe-izi-combi-x3-2054390-25703-750998.php I'm going to use a second hand Graco from my cousin for first 6 months and spend the money on something which will last a bit longer. Still no idea on pushchairs though, but I've gone off the travel system idea as too heavy and expensive for only ~9 months use.
CappucinoCarrie I much prefer your taste in names to your DH's! Winston?
Welcome WYorksLass, I grew up in Bradford but in Durham now!
Firawla Great news about your scan :) 3 boys - wow! I am nervous about having just one ;) I love the name Ayyash, have you talked DH round yet? Hope that weird eye thing has gone away now. I've heard that can be a warning sign for pre-eclampsia (and other things I'm sure) so if it keeps happening you should prop check with midwife.
Anu3 I keep ending up on my back despite best efforts and a Dreamgenii pillow. I think in later stages it can limit oxygen to you and / or baby, but it shouldn't be a problem at this stage. Apparently from second trimester if you can sleep on left side it can encourage baby into best position for birth, i.e. head down, so I am going to keep trying to sleep that way. Hopefully I will stop rolling on back eventually!
KTisPG thanks for the BF advice, will remember that as really want to try and get BF to work out! My faves out of your names are Matthew, Edward and Patrick (DH took Patrick off our shortlist :( ), I do tend to go for popular more than unusual though. I am with you on struggling with boys' names.
neverlookback how frustrating you had to wait 1.5 hours just to be told that! At least it sounds like they're not going to hassle you too much from now on
Rehune my breathing has is a bit shallower, but am asthmatic anyway so not sure how much to put down to that and how much down to pregnancy.
MrsStevo great news on scan, must be amazing to see two in there :) I empathise with the breathing thing, I hate it when my DH breathes on me (not just while pg), it gives me goose bumps for some reason.
wheresmytractor hope you have recovered from physio now, sounds nasty. I love Esme.
Annie I like Emily Rose; and Thomas (it's on our rather long shortlist...)
LifeofKate great news on scan. I panic before them, it's such a relief to get them over and find out all is OK. I now have quite a long shortlist for boys' names, but none of them are leaping out at us.
alibaba hip pain sounds nasty :( Hope you are feeling better now. I had same thing with not feeling pregnant at all before scan, and worrying cos I felt no movement, but was happy to see LO wriggling away in there, am sure you'll be the same. Good luck for Thursday.
jspark congrats on scan, and little boy news! I feel your pain re boys' names, they are so much harder
aStar I love Edmund, but my DH took that off the shortlist too. Congrats on your scan and girl news - that'll make the names easier!
NHAN great news on scan :)
MrsVidic I like Emily, Lilly and Ellie, not sure about Daisy for some reason but can't say why. I fancy the Nipper 360 too, been looking at ebay but hardly any single ones in our area, will have to keep looking.
bettyboo good luck with scan tomorrow!
Yukana Sorry to hear WoW is still causing trouble :( Any progress on the Uni/college course plans for him?
Hersetta I like Alex, Alexander is on shortlist but maybe with Sandy for short. We are getting family pressure for John as middle name(DH's family tradition) but I like other names more, plus my Dad wants Ian, which is his name, so someone will be upset! Andrew sounds a lovely gesture for your DH's friend, that's v sad.
nickstermum the only lionesque thing I can think of at the moment is names from the Lion King - Mufasa, Simba etc, which I'm not sure is what you have in mind LOL.
kathpeak I love your reason for calling daughter Hazel, and what a lovely name :)
Anu good luck with scan tomorrow! Hope you feel better now. I still get the sickness on and off, but nowhere near as much as first trimester thank heaven.
Pashazade I felt the same before my scan but all was fine, good luck tomorrow.
wishwales yay for scan news and little girl :)
Good luck all with scans coming up
Sorry this is so epic, really must try and come on here every day to catch up!
