The maybies are keeping a close eye on their fruit - due May 14

[CbeebiesIsMyLife]

Will this do? I bet someone's beat me to it now!

I got my first 'was it planned?' the other day! Lol. Think we should make up some 'pregnancy bingo' cards! Suggestions for what to include please...

I'll start the ball rolling with...

'Was it planned?'

'Are you sure you're not having twins?!'

Mine may not apply to others but one I've heard a lot is -

"What did your mum say?"/"My mum would've killed me!"

"You should call it (insert person's name here)"

Um, no.

Someone at work said "so I'm guessing it was completely unplanned?" Uhh we've been married a year, why would it be unplanned? When I said I thought that was an odd comment for her to have made, she just said " oh all of my friends seem to have unplanned pregnancies so I just assumed yours was too". Ok then!

The other one I get all the time is "don't find out what you're having! Let it be a surprise!" Why?!

'was it planned?' is possibly the most annoying question ever. Especially when asked by mil. Closely followed by demands for details of conception. Not a lot of boundaries that one.

People's intensive comments really bug me. I have got "was it planned?" about a dozen times. Dh and I have been together, happily for years and I'm 30 ffs! It was mostly from people in work though. Dh's family mostly asked "what took so long?" and now it's "you're going to have another one, right?" No, definitely not!
My family were more shocked as they thought I didn't want another, but very happy for us.
Thankfully friends value their safety too much to ask insensitive questions!

Ahhh I get that last one too mrsmummy - it's so annoying!

I've responded that it'll still be as much of a surprise in two weeks time as it would've been in five months!

I get 'don't you own a T.V' an awful lot...

irish PSML at wanting all the conception details.

My DH came up with a great comment yesterday. We had gone to M&S a was offered to test some champaign I said no but he was insistent so I explained I was pregant and the jolly M&S guy suggested maybe next year.
Only for DH to turn around and say "probably not you might be pregant again by that time...."

WTF this man seems determined to keep me in a state of pregancy for ever more.

Xav I was a nanny to 6 kids they often got the "no TV comment" the thing is the didn't! but it did annoy them as my mum boss pointed out it with 6 kids they were too busy to be so rampant. And she didn't want to explain their vasectomy failure.

We aren't finding out the sex but when I get its better to have a suprise comment I usually reply I will be suprised enough by producing a human being from my body.

We do own a tv I feel a bit sorry for the people who say it and I'm tempted to reply with 'yes but I'd rather have a good shag than watch holby city'

Oh please do say that xav

The comment annoying me is when I say, having just explained how hellish the first three months were "this is the last one, we are definitely stopping at two." And people go "ohhhh, in a few years time, you'll have another for sure." And then even if I tell them that it felt like I was dying and is a mental health concern they're still all Dewey eyed like "I'm SURE you'll have a third" as if they just don't want to acknowledge that pregnancy could possibly not be all glowing beaming joyfulness. GRRRRR

My friend has 11 children - she gets 'I going to buy you two a telly' all the time. She says she's owed an awful lot of tellies! People also say stuff like 'bloody hell, you'd think you'd have worked out what's causing it by now!'

Can I add 'ooh, are you really only x number if weeks?' To the bingo card?

I would add 'can I touch the bump' but my mil is the worst offender and doesn't tend up ask so much as come at me so I have to try and dodge her.

Also our DS will be 18 months when this squidge arrives and we've had a lot of 'don't you two have a telly' Is that really such a surprising age gap?

People always find something to say.
When it was Ds1 I was 18 and 'oh dear'
dd1 was generally 'isn't that a bit fast' (15 month age gap)
ds2 ' but you have one if each, why have another?'
Dd2 tv comments, who is the dad then? You don't waste any time (another 15 month age gap - good job it's wonderful)
And with DC5 people have been so rude I've just stopped listening.

I do love having my bumped loved and people asking how I am later on though.

I really cannot stand the "was it planned?" question.

And surprisingly, it seems to come from people that aren't that close to me. Seems like such a personal question to ask someone you don't know that well...

Me and dh have been trying for 6 years and had two miscarriages in that time! I'm fed up with the comment of " at least u can get pregnant" or "you have waited so long your goin to be excellent parents" all because we needed Ivf and this is an naturally conceived child

thistle we got the "at least you know you can get pregnant now..."
So many times after DS, which was hard hearing when I was told it was likely I had PCOS.
I'm so much more aware now about being sensitive regarding children and family planning, we really don't know what people are going through in their private lives.

I think every single person I know has asked me whether it was planned or not! Really bizarre.

We went to a wedding yesterday - DH got hammered (drinking for two) - and I drove us home, we didn't get back til 2am. I am sooooo tired today! It was really fun though.

I think I might be starting to get a bit of a bump now - not much but just a little bit! I can't hold my tummy in anymore.

We bought our first baby purchase today, a little Lamaze soft toy robot! Also looked at prams but I don't think it was the best day for it with DH's hangover!!

Little bit envious of those of you feeling baby move already! That's so exciting. Apparently I have an anterior placenta so I expect it might be a bit later than others...

Picked up the cot, a pack of bibs and a changing mat today! Wasn't expecting to buy bibs but they're gender neutral and have animals with different sounds on them - crocodile going "Snap snap", elephant going "stomp stomp", giraffe going "munch munch" and interestingly, a hippo apparently goes "miam miam". That was the selling point for me

Ahhh they sound really cute moomin!

Ahh moomin where did you get the bibs? They sound so cute! The only thing we've bought so far is a cute little newborn toy from mothercare. Think we're going to leave all the big stuff til later in the pregnancy... I'm thinking January sale shopping!!

Babies R Us

Bibs

Ah, let the shopping commence!

I've bought a few bits on eBay already, a co-sleeping cot, an infant insert for my Ergo sling, and am currently bidding on a Bugaboo Cocoon and a BabyBjorn bouncer.
Problem is, I'm too cheap, so keep getting outbid! Might even end up buying a few things retail at this rate...

Today I was given my rocking chair that my mum bought! I already have steriliser and bottles and baby grows! And blankets an bibs My mum works in a supermarket and when the baby event is on she informs me and I go for a look - I'm being loaned a cot so that's handy for now and a relative is buying Moses basket
