Morning! such a busy thread all ready!
WE have not had a 12 week scan yet, but will have one at 14 weeks. The 8 week scan was good - bang on dates. And our DNA test was fine too. However I still dont feel pregnant so very confused. With DS i knew before Iwas even late.... this makes me wonder if #2 will be a girl..... However we are not finding out the gender, even though we know the gynae will know (was part of the DNA test he ordered). A surprise after all the hard work is lovely. & I love newborns in white so dont want any other colours anyway!!
Emma - so sorry you had such a selfish reaction from your DM. How rude and inconsiderate of her. I hope she pulls herself together.
Many people are very rude when it comes to pregnancy and children. DS will be 4 by the time this one arrives and the number of people who have asked me over the last 3 years when he is getting a DB or DS is staggering. Some people have asked who barely know me and it is quite upsetting when I know the reason is I have been too unwell.
& there are plenty of threads on MN showing that plenty of GPs and other family members think pregnancy and a new child is all about them, rather than about the mum, dad, new baby & siblings. It would never cross my mind to have a go at my family for not telling me sooner!
We are now 13 weeks and do not plan to tell anyone until we see our parents on our return to the UK January, so we could be almost 20 weeks by then. Although we may need to tell DB2 a little earlier as he is planning an event for the time around my due date and I dont want him to go ahead thinking we will be coming when we are unlikely to.
DB1 has just announced (at around 16 weeks) that he and his wife are expected #2 in late May, so they are only a few weeks ahead of us. exciting, although I have not yet met his DC1 (age 2yo now!) as they live overseas. Sad but that is what happens with families that scatter to the 4 corners of the earth
Have a good week everyone.
