Welcome Martians!

Kara not Karma sorry!

ice sorry to hear you feel rubbish again, hope you feel better soon!

apprentice yes of course!

mummybee these are 16 week private gender ones, i wish we were 20 weeks!

thanks comms!! ahhhhhhh!!

kara prices vary a lot depending on location etc so worth checking locally, I've seen £50+ discrepancies in price of scans.

How are there 400 posts since I last logged in. Seriously you lot are proper chatterboxes, I can’t keep up anymore.

Feeling pretty low this morning. On Saturday I went to a NCT sale, got there late, but got handed a bag of ‘freebies’ I opened it up last night and there was a sample pack of tena lights. Hubby made a joke as did I. Fast forward a few hours later, to me laughing like I have never laughed before, I had tears rolling down my voice and a laugh like Mutley ( never heard anything like it!) laughing then turned to a combo of laughing and coughing, and.. well put it this way, it looks like the sample pack of tena is going to be used pretty quick. I knew it was a possibility and have been half heartedly doing kegel exercises as I never expected it so soon. I was, and still am mortified.

I’ve briefly skimmed the thread to catch up, good luck with those early scans.

Kara from what i've looked at, up here in Manchester the going rate for a basic 3D scan is approx £100, a little expensive really but its an indulgence I suppose and could make for some cool yet slightly freaky Christmas presents! :D
Rockchick - I agree i'm not 100% sure if I like the idea, it's just OHs 10p into the pregnancy process ;)

£100! Jeez, I had thought about it seen as this is the first and more than likely last baby I'll have, but money is pretty tight over winter due to the nature of 0H's business, so probably be giving it a miss. :(
Only 24 days until til next scan and hopefully OH will want to attend this one :)

has anyone else not got their 20 week scan date?

DH really wants a 3D scan but they freak me out so much! He's excited about it though so we'll probably get one, it'll be nice to see baby between 20-40 weeks anyway. They're about £80 round here (Leeds).

Mimi at least you can laugh about it! I've got an app that reminds me to do kegels or I'd never remember!

Hope you're feeling better Ice

Grey I'm still sticking with boy (mainly just agreeing with Pirates the oracle!)

Grey I've got mine but we ring and book our own here. Chase them up!

comms as it stands on the spreadsheet, it's 7 martians guessing boy and 8 guessing girl, very close! i will post the new scan pic later before we open the envelope though!

oooh it's pirates ' first test!

Pissed off. Auqanatal classes are cancelled

Oh dear Kara - do you mind me asking what actually goes on at aquanatal? We're told in our area that we won't be invited to any anti-natal classes until we're 30weeks and i've not been able to find any aquanatal sessions near to me, so i'm curious :)

After this morning's sneeze wee incident, can anyone tell me how I should be doing the pelvic floor prep properly? The office is not a good place to sneeze wee I can tighten my pelvic floor and frequently do, but if I'm losing control when I sneeze at just 13+5, I have a serious problem. I can't stink of wee at work!

Joll I didnt see your first post. I feel your pain after my incident last night. It's really affected my mood, although I am trying to laugh about it. Although that is also my fear, the smell of wee at work could you imagine

Comm would you mind letting me know the name of the kegal app?

Joll you should squeeze and hold for 10 seconds then release. Do that 10 times and then follow with 10 quick squeezes. Repeat three times a day.

Mummyb that's strange about antenatal classes. At our local centre you can do aquanatal and yoganatal from 14 weeks.

Grey im so excited for your scan news!

On the morphine for diarrohea, that's what it was traditionally used for! Think the pain relief was a by product!

mummyB I don't actually know it, was supposed to be my first session its the ony class in dundee.

Due to me having some major bonding issues after what has felt like a rocky start for my little beanie, we rang up the FMU this morning to find out the sex from the CVS results...Pink bump on board here
I was amazed, as I've been convinced it's a boy all along. DH is very smug as he's always 'known' it's a girl!

baldrick CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! OUR FIRST GIRLY MARTIAN!!!!!

guesses for baldrick: i can confirm that pirates guessed girl, she remains the oracle of gender guesses. i also guessed girl, and edamame, mtb and baldrick guessed boy, 40% martian guessing success rate so far!

Woohoo! Congrats balders!

Brilliant news Just!

Of the Baldrick variety

Heehee maybe! I am seriously considering a name change, as I didn't think of how difficult it is to abbreviate, and frankly am bored of my name. Suggestions welcome...

Congrats, Baldy.

Muddling, deffo change your name. How about FeeFiFoFum? It's cute and we can call you Fifi

So..I have a brand new hire car sat outside the house, no money to spend and no mates to visit (I do have mates but they're remnants of my past. My mate around here has broken her shoulder and I'm not going round in case she expects me to help her with housework or summat).

Any suggestions, Martians? I HAVE A CAR!!

Pram McDonalds?
