Even if it doesn't seem like it most of the time

Good luck with your scan today blue76

I wonder where sabs is? She was having her scan yesterday too.

Hi everyone, Hope all the scans are going well still two weeks til mine...sigh.
Baby has been jigging about too. I have been having more twinges this time round and had a massive Braxton Hicks tightening the other night, I had none of them with DD.

Hi everyone, don't know if anyone remembers me as I haven't posted for ages, have been lurking though. Just had my scan today and found out it's a girl so really pleased! (have one of each already)not telling anyone in RL so feels nice to let someone in on the secret! Anyway, hope everyone elses scans go well, i will continue to lurk for more news

Congrats Twinkle
Blue - don't think so. I think it's still in his work bag!

Thats great twinklegreen.

My friend did something similar to you last time ladylush. She didn't look at the paper until after after her son was born.

Oooh the temptation would kill me!

In 24 hrs time hopefully we will know whether we have a Gabriel Patrick or an Amelia Anne...

It's good to hear everyone's scan news. Glad all's good for you ladies.

I ended up in the nurse's office today, trying to shift baby. It had moved to the left and I was in agony! I managed to shift it to the other side. Bump is huge and very very wriggly. Can see my tummy moving when baby's awake.

Hi ladies

Had my scan today, had to wait ages as they lost my notes - v.frustrating. All was good and baby was wiggling and bopping itself in the head - was so cute. DH really wanted to know what it was and I didn't but we said we would find out - turns out baby had other ideas and had it's legs firmly together. Sonographer said she thought she knew, but not enough to hazard a guess - yay for a suprise!!!

Hope everyone is well - GBAM

Helloooo all,

OMFG Ladylush - how are you not looking at the paper!!!! I wouldn't have got out the door of the hospital without caving - and to know dh has still got it - you have WAY too much will power girl!!

Congrats on the girl twinkle - and general congrats all round to everyone's positive scan news - the whole notch thing is new to me tho??!Not heard of that before? Sure its not anything to worry about tho otherwise they'd have said so!

Right - I'm off for a well needed early night - getting pretty cheesed off with having to get up for a wee in the night then can't get back to sleep - feeling run down and like I've got a cold coming now!! Poo

Blue- - I LOVE Gabriel for a boy!! I've been hankering for that myself but dp's having none of it!! "Gay" aparently - it's the answer I get for most names he's not keen on - anyone else on the 'dp giving little or generally unproductive name suggestions' or is it just mine who's a pain in the arse!!

Lol If the sonographer had been convinced I think we may have caved in by now.

Fairy - IKWYM about names. H and I can't agree on any. More frustrating now that we have to think of a name for either sex.

Congrats gonnabamumma

Fairysparkles lol at 'gay' - if it's a boy it'll get Gabe for short...We also liked Reuben but dp's surname is Carter and the poor child would get 'ooh are you named after the Hurricane?' I love Sebastian and Jude as well but dp had none of that. We want an uncommon name...so we've settled for Gabriel. Amelia is a definite - we've already got Alexandra and Francesca

11 hours til scan. woo hoo!

Hmmm Ladylush you could relieve some of that frustration if you sneak a look in that envelope

" little or generally unproductive name suggestions " is exactly what I'm getting from my boyfriend! He still wants Siegfried even though that's never going to happen, and finds fault with almost everything I suggest without coming up with anything else himself. Well, it's Scan Day today so maybe we'll be able to concentrate on only one sort afterwards!

Hello

Just wanted to say congrats to all of those with good scan news. How exciting! This is the time when it all becomes real isn't it, bumps appearing, movements and scans. Only 4 months to go and we will have babies in our arms!

Good luck to all those having scans today/soon! Mine is on Monday and I am painfully excited.

Ohh and dp was rubbish and wouldn't discuss names at all. He would not take it seriously. But a few weeks after the scan he suggested ds's name and that was that, so you never know, they might surprise you.

Oh and the name was one I had mentioned in a big long list that he had previously said no too. I think he just wasn't listening or thinking properly until 26/27ish weeks. There is hope!

Hi everyone
I have a friend called Gabriel - he gets called Gabe
Really suffering with indigestion at the moment!

good luck for scans today ladies!

My heartburn seems to have calmed down the last couple of days since I started the spatone. Bizarre no?

Hi everyone - not been on for a few days so great to see all the happy scan news coming through. Hopefully the "notches" amount to nothing. Good luck for everyone who is scheduled today.

No idea how you have not peeped at that paper Ladylush. I would have been in there like a flash.

Joined a pregnancy pilates class in Chiswick to help with my back ache, first session was last night. There were only three people in the class so it was a little intimate for my liking to start off with but it does mean getting good attention from the instructor. Just have to remember to keep contracting pelic floor on the breath out. I am rubbish and spend a lot of the time in delayed confusion!! Lady there was 37 weeks and I was quite jealous that she was almost finished!!

Scan went well!

It's a little wriggler but the sonographer was able to measure everything alright in the end and all "appears normal" and the genitals "appear feminine". She said 'I think it's a little girl' but it's not definite of course.

Well, that proves most of the guesses wrong I've had so far but it will please my brother who's the only one with a preference, and it will put an end to the Siegfried discussion!

It's still a bit unreal for me though, I'm still thinking 'it' rather than 'she'. (maybe that's the German coming through, where 'child' is neuter anyway and 'it' or 'es' doesn't sound quite so impersonal)

Congrats Thusnelda

Good luck Blue I guess you would have had your scan by now.

Still no peeking here. I've got another scan at 34 weeks (due to hypothyroid) so I guess we might find out then. Dh and I saw baby moving last night. My tummy was protruding in places - must have been an arm or leg. It was lovely to see

Thusnelda would it not be Siglinde? (Twin sister / lover of Siegmund, and mother of Siegfried)
