Stats link if that's right... Mumsnet admin can you make this prettier?

Here we go thread 6, over half way - I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore!

I'm joined. I feel rather uneasy about leaving folks behind though :(

It's nice here. Maybe we should just stay put?

Right that link works but I'm off to sleepy byes as I'm only admin ATM if you request to join I'll approve it in the morning. I am happy to appoint other admins if you whoever wants to be one etc but just to keep in mind too many cooks and all that - I would suggest whoever feels they are technically minded and regular poster might be best.

it's my scan tomorrow morning aiming to get good night sleep and not stress ! Night peeps xx

FYI I'm going to stay on the forum as well :) fingers in pies and all that mwhaha ;)

Good idea but once we've established it could it be changed to secret? Haven't announced my pregnancy on FB.

Good idea Pepsi x

I'd rather stay put. Nice anonymity here, unreal names, sharing stories of a personal nature etc. Don't want to create another FB identity as you then have to log in and out, blah blah, or risk posting with your wrong hat on.

So today most of my family told me they don't like the name I'm about 95% sure I'm calling DS
It's a top 100, pretty ordinary name (not Adolph or Rolf etc!) and I love it but finding out other people don't love it has taken the shine off a bit. I'm not sure about anyone else but I don't think I'd tell someone to their face that I don't like the name they've picked...
On the other hand I went out for a birthday carvery and ate a huge amount. Midwife probably won't be impressed when she weighs me next week but it was worth it

Just saw the facebook group- perfectly happy to join but I don't know if anyone else might find it a bit weird- I've only posted here once or twice so not exactly part of the group and I perhaps don't have much in common with anybody (19 y/o single mum to be)
But if nobody has an issue with it I'll probably join

I vote for an fb group too, will try and find it. The user experience on MN is crap and it drives me up the wall. Much easier to follow specific threads and post photos and vids on fb too.

Btw, advice please from ladies who are using washable nappies. A friend just offered me about 20 fuzzibunz plus all the various extra bits for £100. Good deal or no?

Electrogirl - of course noone would have a problem with you joining

Had a hectic (but lovely) weekend and have completely flopped today, feeling so tired. Cant seem to switch off though, watching friends probably isn't helping much

Hello electrogirl and welcome! Nobody should feel left out and we'll all have a lot more in common once the munchkins arrive! Also boo on your family not being positive about your choice of name. I feared the same so we kept DD's a secret until she was born as nobody dares slag it off once it's attached to said baby! Names are subjective and so long as you love it it doesn't matter about them x

I second what monkeybaby says about names - go for it if you love it, even if people don't like it now I'm sure once its attached to a little person that they love it will grow on them

monkey fuzzibuns is not a make I've come across in all my researching. What "kind" are they?

electrogirl everyone's welcome! And unlucky about the name thing. This is why we've decided not to discuss it with anybody until she's here and that will be her name and it's tough if they don't like it then! We just need to agree on a piggin' name now!

Have you guys noticed you've become more flexible since pregnant? Yoga teacher was going on about how much more flexible pregnancy makes us. I used to be super flexible before pregnancy (the reigning champion of The Cereal Box Game! Plus Pole and years of dancing) but I feel way LESS flexible since getting pregnant.

I'm also "double jointed" and debating whether this will have any effect on pregnant things?

monkeybaby just had a nosey and fuzzibunnz look pretty good. And it's a good deal 20 are £250 online. Personally I've spent just over £100 and have got a variety of nappies. That way I can see what works best for us, sell any that don't and get more of whichever do.

I can't find it. Add me please. Facebook.com/quackas

Requested to join. I am the one in hat and sunglasses using.my real name as long as the group stays closed/secret. Will do most of my posting here tho.

Woke up worrying about work. Couldn't get back to sleep. rereading the clan of the cave bear series. Forgot what a tit Jondolar is....

To anyone worrying about fb killing tne thread, don't worry. The Jan bus have a fb group too and they're on thread #8 on mn!

Maybe it would be an idea to change name of bus though to something less obvious/that doesn't include the word Mumsnet - I don't even like mn on fb as then it's visible to your friends and I don't want anyone to come looking for me!

Had 20w scan yesterday and everything looks good. Still team yellow but dh is convinced it's a boy.

Not looking forward to back to school on Monday, especially since I'll miss the 1st few days for funeral so will start behind already.

Morning all!
We told a few ppl the name we like and everyone seemed really happy with it until we told MiL who turned her nose up - the only person really. Now I lie and and say we cant think of anything and just nod and smile when people give suggestions.
We're a lovely little group if I do say so myself. Very welcoming no judgement at all - we all have different stories and different walks of life. What makes our little group so special :) xx
FB suggestions - like I said happy to appoint other admins for ease and calling happy to change the name was just to start it up - do we know what January's is called? If they are on thread 8 we have no worries here! Going to quote lilo and stitch :)
ohana means family. family means no one gets left behind

Morning ladies!
Ladylel dont be put off by people reactions, if you love the name youve chosen then stick with it! Im 22+1 and the name weve chosen for our daughter is quite old fashioned but we both adore it!

I've chosen a couple of names and had them frowned at. I had to give my mum a stern talking to for 1.insisting she'd be at the birth. 2. Insisting I eat my placenta. 3. Frowning at my chosen name. if it were up to her the baby would be called Stardust or something. She is full of woo.

Morning all. May join the Facebook group if it remains private. Also like the idea to change name from mumsnet. I like the anonymity here. Plus won't be able to moan about certain people (MIL) so much if family can see and work out what I'm saying - and I know there will be moaning!
On that note I had a couple of lovely girls names that DH was thinking about until he ran them past MIL. She managed to put him off We've agreed we're not going to tell anyone our choices now!

We're keeping quiet on names too as it feels nice to have something that just we know about seeing as we have found out the sex.

Also with DD1 I told my mum the girls name I had in mind and she turned her nose up but I chose the name anyway! So I definitely agree it's better to wait till baby is here
