January 2020 - thread six

[Missmonkeypenny]

Thread six for those of us due in or very closely around January 2020!

We found out we’re having a little boy today - due 9th of Jan! Hubby and I are over the moon, as his big sister

Daisy oh, Isaac is such a lovely name! We’d agreed on a girls one but don’t have any boys ones which jump out at the moment. If anyone else wants a little Edith/Edie, I’ll pass the name on as this baby will be our last!

Checking in too, due baby no2 on 28th Jan.

DS (3) I think is a bit confused as he would like a 'big girl' (My friend has a 9 year old DD as do the neighbours). He is not excited about babies as they might knock over his sandcastles!

@camomila sandcastle destroying is a legitimate concern 😂

That has really tickled me

Ok so don't judge me but this is 4x collection of Emma's diary free packs (2x email addresses, work and personal)... Just really like free stuff..

This totalled so far in:
10 bepanthem cremes
1x sudo creme
3x tummy stretch.mark pots
1x tummy lotion
1x vetanium everyday nappy rash protection
4x sachets of tummy rub butter for bump
4x water wipe samples
7x milk teeth toothpaste
Breast milk storage bags
Persil wash and conditioner
4x pregnacare multivitamins
1x vitamin liquid sachet
8x two pack breast nursing pads
Pack of always pads
4x shampoo& conditioner samples
6x body wash lotion samples
A sache of vagina cream(?!)

Just to add, if you use the app and not print out then it lets you do it 3 times ;) only boots allow app usage. Argos want the print outs and once you use those it zeros the rest on the app

I've just discovered that these due date threads are a thing so, Hi everyone! my EDD is 23/01/2020, baby number one so I'm still feeling very much out of my depth, especially as it was a huge surprise. I'm still suffering with sickness and exhaustion and I have my first appointment with my obstetrics consultant in a few weeks.

Hi checking in on the new thread. Expecting DC 2 23rd Jan

@FirstTim3Mummy I did the app trick haha I have no shame! All the freebies!

Some boots stores don’t even ask for the barcodes etc so I got 2 packs at the same retail park 😂😂 I got an extra Emma’s diary pack when I went for my private gender scan too! She gave me 5 as the vouchers weren’t valid anymore but o for detolw Iowa galore and nappy cream 😂😂😂

Just checking in to new thread, I'm expecting my first baby, due date 6th January. My partner wants to know the sex of the baby but I don't, so we're keeping it a surprise :)

Checking in expecting bub no.2 9Jan.

Had my 16 weeks check up today and heard bub's heartbeat ❤️🙏🏼 now waiting impatiently to get to 21 weeks.

Hi all, had a bit of a scare with some brown spotting but luckily I've just been for a scan and the twins are fine. Majorly relieved!

Hi everyone! I had my scan last week and due date is 30 Jan. It's my first baby so everything is completely new to me :)
@peanutbaba we are the same! I want a surprise but my hubby wants to know...

Just checking in. Baby #2 due 29th :)

Hi @Danimarie so annoying isn't it 🙈 what do you think you'll do? Will you find out or keep it a surprise? X

@peanutbaba @Danimarie Sometimes it's hard NOT to find out! My son gave us an unmistakable potty shot at our 20 week scan 😂

@peanutbaba So annoying! My husband did say something that resonated with me though - he is not sure if I will be able to take it all in when I have just given birth and at least at the scan it will be just me and him.

@lifesnotaspectatorsport ha! bless him! Sometimes it just can't be helped!

Feeling a bit sad. Just emailed my dissertation tutor (Am doing a p/t msc) to ask about extenuating circumstances/an extension.
I really wanted everything to be finished by September but my anti-sickness tablets make me both sleepy and stoopid.

Hi all! Checking in on the new thread too. Second baby, due 24th jan (was 27th).

Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group?

@cailinvelo yes there is a very active FB group alongside this thread.

DM @Victoriaaaaaaaa with your email address and description of your profile photo to be added.

Aargh, more brown bleeding today. Has anyone else had this? I just had a scan, don't feel like I can go back 2 days later 🤦🏻‍♀️ Also I'm sure I felt little popping movements this morning so babies are moving. Has anyone else had this on-off brown bleeding? I never had anything like it in my first pregnancy

@botanica Thank you. I can't for the life of me figure out how to private message 😳 how do I do that?

@cailinvelo I think you need to be on the desktop or web version not the mobile app.

Took me ages to work out so hopefully someone more proficient can explain.

@lifesnotaspectatorsport no experience but sure someone will be along who has so I'm sending a hug in place of anything useful to say
