Heh - Arian15, we must be on the same schedule - I've felt no movement yet (which doesn't bother me until I see some thread with everyone being kicked from 12 weeks etc) - and this week, bumpwise, things have popped out quite suddenly. On Monday I was coming to terms with having to undo my regular jeans everytime I sat down - by Thursday I was panic-buying maternity jeans online. Thank heavens for trackie bottoms...
Boy or a girl - well, what's really interesting is that before getting pregnant, I assumed we would find out the sex at scans, most people I know have - but now, I'm not sure at all. My partner is the same. I'm not sure why, in all honesty, but I think we will probably ask not to be told. I think it's maybe a bit superstitious, which is silly really - but it's also to do with the way that everything to do with babies is so gendered (pink for girls, blue for boys, ballerinas versus cars etc etc). I get a bit grumpy about all that anyway, and it just seems so unfair to sort of start that before this new person is even born!
I know we could always keep it secret, so we wouldn't have to deal with other people's reactions - but I dunno. It's quite a strong emotional reaction I didn't see coming, so I'm not sure how to explain it really. I just seems to make sense to me that finding out of they're a boy or a girl is a big part of 'meeting' them, and I'd rather wait.
But who knows, that might all be nonsense, and I could change my mind tomorrow!
I hope you find some maternity clothes you like - I've invested in some bump bands from Blooming Marvellous (on sale) to try and make sure I don't have to buy an entire new wardrobe of tops....
