MrsG we are both quite private people in real life and it will be both of our parents first grandchild. We kind of didn't want the pressure of them getting really excited and asking questions/giving advice as well as the early pregnancy anxiety that we were feeling so we decided we would tell them, all being well, after our 12 week scan. We don't live that close to our parents so it hasn't been too hard keeping it quiet but I did have to drink quite a bit of non alcoholic wine and gin free G&Ts over Xmas!
Also, ooh no, I'm not on any grad threads apart from this one. I'll take a look for the August one. Although I do find it quite difficult to keep up with threads on MN sometimes!
Dixie I would just reply to your colleagues by telling them that they look tired too! How rude of them.
What is this anti D and CVS stuff? Not heard of either but they don't sound vey fun!
Seahawk I would do that with my appointment times too. I feel like these big companies don't particularly care about us so why should we try to accommodate them particularly? Coming back 4 days sounds good. Hope they agree it for you.
What are other people thinking for their working arrangements post baby?
Moose I feel like January has completely dragged but it does feel like a shock to have suddenly arrived at the 12 week mark. Quite scary that the next scan isn't until 20 weeks.
For those of you who have been there and done that what should I be looking out for/aware of between now and then?!
Mrs you're having a private gender scan aren't you?
Fishy do you think that emoticon is sponsored??
Still thinking of you mouse
