Ok, I can't see a May thread in here so I guess I will start one! According to the NHS due date calculator my EDD is actually 30th April but I think that makes me more likely to be having a May baby anyway!

Am feeling very tentative about starting this thread as I had a mc in June and it's very early days for this one but...anyone want to come and chat through these nerve-wracking first few days?

moominleigh94 · 14/09/2013 20:35

Bounty and Chinese predictors have both said girl for me ThePFJ ... I quite like the idea of a little girl, plus I'd win the bet Grin

Welcome to the thread, beeble and rebecca Grin

rebeccax2 · 14/09/2013 20:41

Thanks everyone!

How the hell do you keep this secret? It's killing me - I'm away with my bosses on a work trip in Amsterdam and everyone is drinking and I'm exhausted and just want to sleep. I'm so excited I want to be talking to my man about it but he's away too. Help me, oh May 2014 club. How do you manage to keep it secret!

Chip86 · 14/09/2013 20:54

Thanks PFJ i think we could organise a party on here i'll bring ballons Grin

rebecca i dont know how you keep it quite we told family and any one that can pass as close friend hehehe

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 21:25

Wow moominleigh easier for you!! I don't mind which flavour baby I get... as long as it's a baby Grin

rebecca I have no idea... maybe find a complete stranger and tell them....? Hold court with your pets and announce it to them while wearing a crown? But you are in Amsterdam.. so find a random tourist... preferably one who doesn't speak English and gleefully announce it to them... and erm.. does Amsterdam have a Zoo?? Hmm

Chip86 I'll bring the cake..... mmmmmm cake............ Grin

thistlelicker · 14/09/2013 21:28

Has anybody thought of names yet

AliOh · 14/09/2013 21:32

Welcome and congrats Beeble and Rebecca !!

ThePFJ I am also having a girl according to Chinese birth predictor and boy according to Bounty!

Thistle always found it easier to think of boys names, now I'm actually pregnant I can't find any boys names I like but can find loads of lovely girls names! Picked a few out for each anyway and asked DP to too - we haven't discussed yet though :)

thistlelicker · 14/09/2013 21:33

I've had my names for ages lol

thistlelicker · 14/09/2013 21:35

What's the sex predictor thing?

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 21:40

Hi Thistle !! Grin On the bounty site there is a gender predictor. Google Chinese birth predictor for the other one.

AliOh I am the same.... I have a girls name picked and done.... Boys names... arghhhh I can't even find one I like..... I am thinking about asking the family to come up with some.......... LOL We have a lot in common Grin - high five!!

thistlelicker · 14/09/2013 21:46

I have another scan with egu soon. Do u think there will be lots of changes?? Not had any bleeding for two days now

AliOh · 14/09/2013 21:51

I actual had my boys baby name picked out for a long long time, but that went down the pan when I met DP - he has the same name! And my second choice, his cousin has the same name! Too many difficult decisions lol, hoping to pick a few options and then decide after baby is born rather than have one set in stone :)

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 21:54

There might be! How long between scans will it be? Smile

thistlelicker · 14/09/2013 21:55

Ten days

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 22:11

[http://www.pregnology.com/faralong.php?month=5&day=12&year=2014] You can put in your dates at the top.... it gives a day by day count down and it shows the massive differences week by week..... so I think yes they will be a difference Grin

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 22:12

bugger.... try this www.pregnology.com/faralong.php?month=5&day=12&year=2014

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 22:18

Thistle have you been to the stats page for this group? You can pop your scan dates in there.... docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvygwA-EKhURdDMwQWNNWGt0cHhmVkloazVVQ0hYNUE#gid=0 just in case you haven't ... (your name is already on there!!) Grin

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 22:21

same for the new girls!! Feel free to go and put your details in......sorry I'll stop posting now.... for a moment anyway....

CoventGarden75 · 14/09/2013 22:39

So many new May-bies, very exciting

Rebecca I agree with PFJ, tell strangers, I've only told shop assistants so far.

I've got a girl name. If it's boy, DP has to pick a name, we've been talking about it a lot, but haven't decided yet. We're not even sure about the surname, it doesn't like his, but he doesn't like mine either Smile. And the nationality? Apparently we've got a choice of 4. It's all so complicated!
7+4

moominleigh94 · 14/09/2013 22:41

We've got names picked Grin

ThePFJ · 14/09/2013 22:49

moomin Tell us your names!!!!

CoventGarden Wow.... what 4 nationalities can you pick from??! Hmm and whats your girl's name?

The girl's name I have so far is .... Elsa.
