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?

am obviously out of the loop in that one kitty!!!

maybe a West Coast weegie thing though

does better mean had the baby never heard of that either!

sweetkitty - I AM a weegie, i just defected lol

Hi all, my mum says that too!
"when yer better" or "when yer by"

She is near Falkirk

I think it must do mumofdjandp - I'm in the dark too .

Hello aberdeenhiker!! We get to be on the same thread - yay!

On the subject of people asking when the baby's due, I've had, 'So when do you calve?' Eh, never since I don't plan on having something that big coming out! Something baby-sized is enough to get my head round! Do you think he was calling me a cow actually? Never thought of that before!! Oh, in local language they'd say - 'Fan's it due quine?'

lunes and quines- love it

Oh, forgot to say sorry Soph28! I think I updated a list from earlier and missed you off, really sorry. Please call dizzy off, I don't want a slap! lol

lunes and quines now that I understand!

OMG Renfrewshire, where are you there *monthlymayhem? my brother was born in the RAH and so was dnephew!! not at the same time obviously!!!

have forgiven you hazie!!

hi poppy - glad you found us, am getting to be a bit of a smart arse with my links!!

Hi Dizzydixies, I'm in Elderslie

monthlymayhem - I remember you from the Due in March thread, didn't know you were a fellow Scot bet you cannot wait to hold your LO.

Hi, ok to add myself to the list? I'm only 7 weeks and a bit superstitious about doing it so early but I'd forgotten how teeeeeeedious these early weeks are when you're trying to keep it under wraps-- I'm just desperate to have a natter about it. I went to my sil's last weekend and over the space of the evening was offered blue cheese, wine, shellfish and a sauna! (Rejected, pretended to accept, accepted, accepted.)

Hi Sweetkitty - I remember you too! So glad to see you're due a summer baby I'm actually really enjoying the last few weeks being on mat leave so not at the desperate stage yet, but I'm sure I'll feel differently if I end up 2 weeks overdue...

aarrgghh monthlymahem, I used to go to aqua aerobics in elderslie baths lol
we used to live in johnstone until I was 3 and then moved to Bridge of Weir where my parents remain. brother in howwood, I managed to escape a bit futher from bofw lol

congrats mybabysinthegarden hope you're keeping well

dizzy - you've been EVERYWHERE !

I have a large family and we don't like to live too close to each other

Hello northeastmummy - it's funny to share a thread with someone we know in real life isn't it?

As for local dialect - the only thing I've been asked is "how are you keeping" which I think is a lovely thing! When we moved to Aberdeen a few years ago our neighbours gave us local dialect lessons (they were in their 80s and had strong Buchan accents!).
