Funny how those of us who've found out are mostly having girls! How odd!

I'm just at the hospital for my scan and apparently the computer system has my due date as 6th October not 7th, even though I've been told it's the 7th right since my dating scan 🙄 and no one has ever mentioned this before (6th was my original date based on LMP). Hoping the consultant will shed some light...

Oh @unicornchaser this is amazing 😍

Mines a girl too

Thanks for setting this up @unicorn.

Ours is a girl too - we should start a netball team at this rate!

Omg so many girls!

Do you mind if I join ?
Due 28th October 2018 with my first. I have a boy :)
Feeling a bit low and uncomfortable at the moment, even though people say this is the best part of the pregnancy... 2 people within 1 day told me that they can see in my chubby face that I got bigger.
THANKS!
How about you guys? How is everyone?

Welcome @jasmin93 the more the merrier 👋

Welcome @jasmin93, I think all of us have had/are having a bit of a tough time in some way at the moment so you aren't alone! Thankfully no one has commented on me getting, chubby. I wouldn't be held responsible for my actions f they did!

I forgot to put on that I'm in the boy camp too! But definitely girl heavy! Weird as in RL I have only known 2 people having girls in the last 4/5 years!!

Thanks for the thread @unicornchaser I have a boy already and all my family is boys but everyone else I know is all girls. So this little girl will be special in the family and fit right in locally 😂

Had a call from my hospital today and one of the readings for my gestational diabeties tests was "a little higher than the recommended range" although they haven't told me any details. I have to go in on Sunday to find out more and see a nutritionist. I knew I was higher risk because I have relatives on both sides with Type 2 diabetes but I honestly wasn't expecting this news and now I feel really bad- like I'm already failing.
Has anyone else had experience with this or got any advice?

@rembeccaM I felt like this too when I measured big, that I had put my baby in danger because I ate too much. It's not you, or me. It's a thing that happens, we all have different complications and they will help you manage it. Try not to worry.

I'm also having a girl and due 1st October.

I'm having a little girl too

@RembeccaM sending hugs. I felt exactly the same when I got my positive diagnosis for gestational diabetes a month ago. It's not your fault and you're not failing already as a mum.

I've been monitoring my sugars for three weeks now (they'll show you how to when you go in on Sunday). It's tedious and sometimes frustrating, and the doctor at clinic last week made me feel like crap again, but this week was much more positive and supportive so don't let anyone make you feel like you are doing things wrong when you know you aren't xx

Hi, can I jump back on please? I am due 7th October and it's a(mother) boy.

I hope you are all getting on on. The back pain is really getting me down and still have at least 9 weeks to go!

So exciting. Is anyone going on holiday?! I’m off to Spain when I’ll be 32 weeks. Not sure if I’m excited or not

Thanks for the new thread

@flamingo I flew home at 30 weeks from Spain. It was a lovely week. Just floated around the pool on one of those kind of foam long skinny pipe things.

I'm having a boy. Well that's what I've been told anyway.

@rembeccam it may be just a precaution to have you in. Don't be too hard on yourself.

@jasmin93 welcome. Sorry for the comments people can never say the right thing really. Just be kind to yourself.

Spent half of the day feeling nauseas. If this keeps up I might have to review when I go on mat leave. I don't have much annual leave left to take either but maybe I could break up some of the weeks to make them a bit shorter.

Has anyone else become ridiculously clumsy with pregnancy? I just pinched my toe in my 2yr olds toy pram, it shouldn't even be possible.

@Havetothink yes! Exactly in that way. I thought I would be clumsy in walking into things/being off balance but that's generally OK (or no worse than normal, I'm a bit of a klutz anyway) but I keep catching my feet on things for no good reason at all!

Glad I'm not the only one tinyterror1, I just seem to have lost all co-ordination.

@Havetothink Me too, I’m constantly dropping things, smashing glasses, cutting myself, banging into things

Pregnancy is oh so difficult, out of all the thing in the world I could chose to eat but all I want is chocolate covered pretzels, can’t seem to find them anywhere and not paying ridiculous prices to have them shipped from the states

@Flamingo19 I saw some in Tesco today, they have an aisle with American food like Lucky Charms

Hi all, please can I join? I'm officially due on 4th October but will be having an ELCS so think it'll be somewhere around 27th September.

Already feeling so ready to meet this baby and am very uncomfortable. Not sure how I'm going to cope for the next 8 weeks!
