started yet another as im aware were about 20 posts from full again lol!

Sorry I always have so many typos. That was supposed to say when are you telling dc's not feeling

Oh don't even get me started harv!! I am sobbing at absolutely everything! I watched britains got talent last week and cried every single time someone got through! Maybe I should give it a miss this week haha. Also that google chrome advert (I think that's what its for) where the guy is trying to get back together with his girlfriend. Blubbering like a baby even though I've seen the advert a million times? I've completely lost it.

Not sure yet when to tell DS (2.5), I am not telling him until after my first scan at the earliest though. I might tell him after that just, like you say, so he knows why he can't jump on me as much etc. I have started talking to him about babies a bit more, just when the topic comes up. He still likes to pretend to be my baby though bless him, he lies in my arms and says "gooo goo ga gaa me being baby" !

My other children all know. The teens are great and help out a bit more, DD4 ('I'm two and a half') is looking forward to having another baby and is adamant this is a girl, she was right with DS so we shall see. She is picking names already and saying hello to baby. DS is only 13 months so hasn't got a clue.

Harv - dd2 is also 3 & I'm not telling either her or dd1 (7) until after the 20 week scan at the earliest!

The reason for this is their grasp of time is still quite tenuos & having an identical gap between the first two, & dd2 & this baby, I know I want to keep the months of "is the baby coming tomorrow?"down to an absolute minimum! sweet but drove me a bit crazy!

Bangon that's what worries me - 28 weeks of "when is the baby coming" is not appealing! However think we will tell her if the scan goes ok next week. She listens to everything that is said so I'm surprised she hasn't picked up on anything yet anyway!

Tiredfeet my dd also loves to pretend she is a baby. I tell her she will always be my baby and she says "no mum pretend I am a tiny little baby"!

Getting my hair done today and going to a friends for dinner tonight so quite an eventful day after beings a bit of a recluse at weekends for weeks!

Mumma I was the same watching bgt last weekend!!

I think I definitely felt the baby move last night during my nightly bout of insomnia. Low in my pelvis, slightly on the left. Feels like a little dice being rolled around in there. I didn't feel any early movement with DS, first thing I felt was a big kick! So I'm not sure what to look out for, but this was very distinct from wind haha.

I told DS because he has a habit of using me as a trampoline in the morning He's convinced it's a girl too. "Do you want a baby brother or a baby sister?" "Sister." "But what if it's a boy baby?" "No, sister." He's three in July. I think he'll be experiencing gender disappointment! I've got this weird feeling it's a boy.

Ooh does anyone know if bringing little ones to the scanning room is allowed?

We are also not telling dd for as long as possible as it is a long wait for a 2 and a half year old. She asks me everyday if its Christmas tomorrow as it is!

Suffolk my fil rang me on my due date to see what time I wanted a lift to hospital. You would have thought after 4 dcs of his own he would know it doesn't work like that.

Kirjava children aren't allowed in over here but there might be different rules for different places!

I NEED a sausage roll so badly this morning haven't eaten one in years lol

Morning! I told my eldest two straight away with DD3 they were 7 & 8 when she was born so were 6&7 when I told them. I didn't have is the baby going to be here tomorrow? Till I was nearly ready to drop, they were brilliant! This time DD3 guessed straight away, kid is very watchful of her Mum and nothing gets past her...she even kept it quiet from big sisters until I could get them on their own to tell them (we had my brother over staying as we had my mothers funeral etc). Her biggest thing at the moment is counting down the weeks till the sex can be determined! She then wants to go out and start getting baby stuff... And all three have been amazing with me and these bleeds .. But then mine are 10, 17 & 18!

Another one here who gets used as a trampoline. Ever since we've been trying to conceive I've been telling DS that rough games are for Daddy. He gets it with the somersaults but not the bouncing so I'm hoping the bean is well protected in there! DS seems to have decided be wants carrying more than ever. He's 2.1 stone. When is it we're supposed to stop all this heavy lifting?!

I'm loving hearing all the stories about telling your DC. I don't know when we'll tell DS. He's only just turned two and has taken after me with his complete lack of patience!

I'm having a lazy morning as DH has taken DS to the park with his scooter and the dog. I think I'm going to tackle my legs! Is anyone else suffering with really dry hands and legs?

Enjoy the sunshine all!

I have very dry skin normally and it's now 100 times worse!

Glad to know others are feeling movement as I'm positive that's what I've been feeling. And it's reassuring as bleeding started again so hoping its nothing major.

Kirjava yes that's what it's like! A dice rolling around! What a great description that I would not have thought of and I also feel it low in my left side too occasionally.

Suffolk my dd has been a bit alarmed by my sickness and dry boaking at times - she keeps saying mummy has a tummy bug so yeah another good reason to tell early.

Williamina how are you doing? Was there any mention of you getting scanned again?

Re. Dry skin - last time my skin was the opposite - my dry arms were lovely and smooth especially the backs of them

I have def felt something - like someone v gently flicking my insides. But wasn't sure whether its wind or not!

My eldest dd knows (11) but not my boys and dd (14 months) is too young to know different. I'm waiting until after the nuchal at least to tell my sons (6 and 9).

so just caught up on the thread again, it moves so quick. sorry for those that have had bad news, hope things take a turn for the better.

haverina and mumma i am getting weepy over everything too, doesnt seem to matter what im watching on tv there is always something that happens that makes me tear up.

so i had another scan and am 9 weeks and everything is developing well so glad for the happy news. im certain all i ever feel is gas though.
not been throwing up at all but do still feel nauseous a lot of the day. cant wait fr it to go away and i can get back to doing more normal things

Great news little I know what you mean about the nausea, its really grating now.

I'm showing a bit but not so anybody would notice, DP says I just look as though I have a normal persons stomach now.Have gained 1.5" on my waist but no idea weigh wise I don't do scales.

Am so so angry right now. DP is at a family party and has txt me that everyone knows courtesy of him mum - conveniently blaming his niece. I knew it'd happen but its still really pissed me off. DP isn't bothered, he wants everyone to know anyway. But I'm so angry at him for telling his 6yr old niece (how thick can you be!!!!) & for his mum for taking the excuse and running with it. Is this my hormones, is it not that big a deal really?! I need to calm down. I'm 11 weeks so they would have found out soon anyway but AAARRGH!!!! I've got a feeling his mum is shaping up to become a royal PITA as she's quite vocal & insistent on certain things that should really just be our decision.

and breathe!

No, it isn't your hormones Saundy. It happened to me a few threads back, my SIL found out via a letter in my dad's car and told EVERYONE. I didn't get to tell anyone my news and felt utterly robbed.

I'm still not talking to her.

Some people just don't realise (or don't care) that it's your news to share. Really feel for you

Eek saundy! It's your news to tell, so I'd be pretty irritated too. Start as you mean to go on with the mil. But try to not stress.

Yes I remember that KtheCat I think your situation was worse as at least it just his family and people he would have enjoyed telling really.

Thanks Stuff but that's easier said than done she's quite a formidable woman really who's as comfortable shouting at you as talking to you. She's not as awful as I'm making her sound, her heart is in the right place, but I know at some point I'll have to stand up to her and I am dreading the day!!

Saundy that was so mean of her! Just let her know on the qt that you know she told a fib - that will give her a subtle warning you're not to be messed with!

My ex-mil hated me and the feeling was extremely mutual lol

enjoy your night out harv !

Saundy how irritating for you. I would be really upset by that. my parents in law kept accidentally letting it slip last time but we let them know we were upset and they have been great at keeping quite this time (but I ended up having to tell most people in the end!). I think sometimes people don't realise the importance to you (but I may be being too kind to your MIL, some people are just too keen on getting the attention themselves!)

got a stinking headache from dehydration /lack of food I think, but my lovely friend came to look after ds for me so I have had a few sunny hours sitting in the garden watching them play which has really lifted my spirits.
