Babes in Scotland this year - shall we have our own thread?

[whinegums]

Hi, I can't see any up to date antenatal threads for mums to be in Scotland, anyone want to join in this one? I think there are a few Scottish mums on the due in June thread, so I wondered if we should have our very own for all of this year's Scottish crop?

I have just under 5 wks to go and am getting very impatient.
DH is going away tommorrow for about ten days so have to keep my legs crossed till he comes back!!

Morning everyone, what a lovely day it is here (so far).

Dizzie, I'm in Shawlands - from NE England originally, but with lots of Scottish family members. I've been here for quite a while now.

ah, shawlands, how is the shed these days lol
I have family in carmunnock, west end, hamilton, howwood and bridge of weir so down your way a lot!!

lovely day here too!! well for now at least, forecast rain for later

hi soph - sorry you weren't on list and sure is was an oversight, will give hazie a slap on the wrists later!!

hi jaq39 - nearly time!! and a 15yr gap?!? well done you! my dh went away when I was due with dd2 and I threatened to have her whilst he was gone - am obviously a nastier person than you!! she went overdue, serves me right lol

Hi jaq39 - Soph and I are both due just after you ... not long now at all is it!? In fact, I've just noticed that your middle ones and my first are a similar age too. Spooky ...

I used to live near Shawlands too - down by Queens Park. It was a long time ago now but I loved it at the time. I had to move back to Aberdeen for a rest though.

lol northeast I used to live in west end just up from botanical gardens but my liver and bank balance complained so back up north for me too!!! must have got off the train a few stops earlier than you though

hello ladies i used to live in hyndland ( i am not pg)but nice to read all the places names and think i know there

have added you to list, I have my 20wk scan tomorrow too!

have popped you inbetween Hazie and Expat as you're due in the middle!

aw thanks

good luck with your scan then

I have been all anxious about this preg as had bleeding but can feel the baby fluttering away hence the brave step of joining this thread

Im sure if given half a day I could have worked out where to put myself tee hee
or maybe not!

well we started off just doing a list, then hazie thought alphabetical then I thought maybe in order of who was due and when so not easily worked out at firdst glance!!

oh good tee hee

but I am a bit dippit so Im sure the next person will work it out no probs!

Awww mumofdjandp, lovely, congratulations.

Dizzy - I've never (dared to!) venture into the Shed. Queues around the block there at the weekends, and lots of cab drivers refuse to pick up the people falling out/over! And I feel far too old anyway! Won't be going near any clubs for a while now....

Hello girls the DDs and I were wondering what the strange yellow light was coming through the blinds this morning, it was the sun (that fabled thing in Scotland) do you think we will get through a day without rain?

I am originally from Ayrshire, lived in Partick for 2 years, then emigrated to England lived near Cambridge for 3 years and London for 4. After DD1 was born I didn't want to do the crazy London commute so we came back home, DP works outside Edinburgh so we are kind of in the middle.

shall we see how many good auld scots words we can use

ie whens yer bairn due hen?

the cleaner at our work keep asking me

'when are you going to be 'better' hen?'

I'd never heard that one in my puff!

I have heard of that "oh so and so is better noo"
