Stats anyone?!

I can't really explain why I don't want to find out before the birth, I just don't want to I appreciate the practicalities of finding out, though.

I am really dizzy and lightheaded today. My blood pressure is normal (much to the midwife's surprise) and I've had something to eat and drink and haven't been sick. Is it normal? It's bloody annoying.

We're going to find out and did with DD as it made life so much easier. Secretly I'd like another girl as I really want DD to have a sister (I have two and they are the best) but just want a healthy one regardless of flavour!

Falladda this is me definitely done now, would have been what ever the sex tbh. A boy does round things of nicely for us though it isn't the reason we decided to have another.

I didn't find out with one of mine, I think because I absolutely had no preference at all. It really drove me nuts not knowing though. This time I found out for dp plus since the 13 week scan where she said it looked like a boy I've been far to curious. We're not telling everyone though as I still want to try and keep a bit of the suprise aspect even if it is only for face book friends haha.

It's exciting seeing what everyone's getting :)

Urgh. I feel sick. I don't know if it's something genuine or just not wanting to go to work tomorrow.

very belated birthday Emily!

Congrats on the boy Brian!

I don't want to find out, but we're going to (but tell everyone we don't know). I didn't with DS1, did with DS2 & just found it was a bit meh knowing what I was having!

monkey, are you drinking enough? My mouth is feeling constantly dry.

20wk scan is 31st July here.

Drfunkes why are you finding out if you don't want to? Does your DP want to?

Spent the day at ILs and it took over two hours before the pregnancy was mentioned. She had made a special cake, though, so I know she's pleased in her own private way. Autocorrect changed that to "pirate way" which I prefer. Arrr.

Had a lovely day. Wandered round Manchester with DH (slight blip when I had to down an alleyway for a wretch session!)
Then went to spend some time with DHs family. I feel like I'm actually bonding with MIL now since getting pregnant, which is nice. She's been texting me few times a week to check I'm OK. And today she was showing me some baby blankets she's started making :)

Problem with nice weekends is that they may the concept of Monday morning so much more painful! :(

Hahaha Catface I had to retch in a n alleyway a few nights ago. The same night I threw up all over myself in the car, actually!

There is absolutely no dignity in pregnancy, apparently.

Wait until you give birth peace: Dignity? What's that?

Pregnant Ladies: a right classy bunch! ;)

I have had a long day walking around a boiling hot grassy field with no shade, chronic hay fever, not enough water and without a hat. It wasn't good. class this evening involved group work with railroady types. Being somewhat already overwrought, I cried. I am in a field centre and would like to go home now please.

Think I may have a added myself to the stats.

I'm 12+3. Would have joined earlier but we didn't have a clue how far gone I was.

Am due 26th December when DS will be 15 mo so am slightly shitting my pants a bit.

Had my 12 week scan yesterday, look, I nearly cried

Awww welcome!!

Long day yesterday, kipped at parents as was falling asleep driving home. Got a nasty rash up both arms & on my chest. Seeing mw for bloods today so will ask.

Ok so it didn't work. Can someone more technical do it for me please.

I'm 23, live in Kent, this will be DC2, EDD is 26.12.13 and my scan was 15.06.14.

Thank you

Welcome lotsa! Congratulations. Where abouts are you in Kent? I'm in Ashford!
15+6

Emily me too!! That's crazy

Yeah dignity and pregnancy don't seem to.go hand in hand!

Yeah mine disappeared when DS was born Wantsonemore. Especially when I was on the ward after having had a EMCS and a midwife walked in who I recognised (went to school with her) and she wanted to check my scar and bleeding (cathether still in place so just bleeding on one of those pad things)

Was the highlight of my pregnancy

Oh dear, sounds fun, at least he didn't recognise you down there

Welcome Lotsa and keloids!

Nice work on the blue one ImBrian, happy belated Emily.

I'm not finding out the sex, I'd love to know but am really not bothered either way, so figure that being desperate to know will prove to be some sort of incentive when I'm knackered and fed up of being in labour. I loathe pink and pastels anyway, so the baby will be in white or primary colours whatever it is.

14+6, Harmony test and mini anomaly scan tomorrow.
