pregnant in aberdeen

[Sillyness]

hi, i'm moving to aberdeen in august and am 8weeks pregnant. anyone else about who is preggers too?

Yeah that's fine i'm feeling a a bit lazy today anyway...although I keep thinking about doing the iironing just cannot be bothered

Hello there, I have just seen all your messages, have been stuck in Edinburgh for a few days with a boken car. Early Nov sounds good if I can still move at that point.

Been told I am having a 'big' baby, so got lots of scans and blood tests etc. to try and figure out why. Am a bit worried to be honest.

a) As if giving birth isn't scarey enough without them telling you the baby is big

b)poor bugger might not fit in any of the new born clothes I have got to take to the hospital.

Awww Karen honestly don't worry too much.
Just remember the scans can't see fat so you may be having a long skinny baby or something.
It it makes you feel better they told my tiny skinny sz6 friend she was having a big baby she was 5lb something. Next baby they told her she was too small baby not thriving we need to get baby out now type thing and that baby was 7lb odd. so not an exact science.

I'm looking forward to all these babies coming i'm only 5 minutes from the hospital so feel free to let me come for a cuddle...the babies that is although i might give you a quick hug

Slattern; I too am just a few minutes away from the hospital - so close I might just walk round when in labour . When we finally meet, we must compare locations.

I am 5 minutes in car about 15/20 minute walk.
I am probably other side of the road from you as i'm near the Kings Gate.
You should walk in labour wee stroll will do you good.

Karen, don't worry too much, I've also heard they're often wrong about these things. On the plus side, at least you'll get to see bubs more at scans and know she's doing ok. Have you had your growth scan yet? Ralph freaks me out on a daily basis, little sod is really lazy some days and I can barely feel her. Got an antenatal class today, but don't want to go now as I heard it involves group participation eeek!

Sapphire, is it at the foresterhill? Participation not too bad! I have been to one but missed the others as I had the wrong dates on the bit of paper that they gave me. There is one tomorrow too, but I am spending most the day at the hosp tomorrow for tests, so not sure if I will be able to face it!

Medee, I am very close too, about 5 mins walk from Maternity unit!

Yeah, it was. Wasn't worth going really as I knew most of it from reading baby books. Hopefully the next one will be better. Hope your tests went ok Karen...

Fingers crossed for the results. Just went to the number 2 course at FH, was a bit rubbish too. Told about diff pain relief, but nothing that I had not read already. You going to any of the ladies only ones?

Fingers crossed from me too. I'll probably go to all the classes, but will wait til I'm on mat leave before I do the daytime ones. Only another 4 weeks of work, it's going soo slow. When can you stop?

Dan is driving again as of 9th Nov, so will have to keep going til then. Tho if I am honest am a bit worried about what I am gonna do to fill up my days. Am not very good at spending time on my own. We will have to do a lunch or some xmas shopping when you finish work x

Morning ladies, had my 20w scan yesterday, but baby not co-operating, so I go back on Friday. What they could see looked good though.

Hello, back today, and all could be seen and all well. that's two nice sonographers at AMH now - Ashley today and Michelle on Monday.

That's great news! Glad you got nice sonographers, the one we had for the 12 week scan was a right dragon!

Hey, everyone's disappeared again! Anyone fancy a meet up? Am v. bored at the mo, and wishing the weeks away :)

Morning Sapphire, had just been thinking myself it had gone a bit quiet! Yes, a meet up would be good.

have you all started a secret thread somewhere to which I am not invited?

No medee, we haven't unless I am not included either! we're just all useless. A meet up would be good if I can waddle that far! lol x

He he - was beginning to think that myself medee! Any suggestions for dates?

I'm still here, in the useless corner too!!

What about one evening w/c 22nd November?

Hi, hope everyone is well. Thought I'd come back and write a proper post! Can't believe that karen and sapphire are into counting down the weeks in single figures - eek! I'm waaaay off that... Denial is my friend at this stage!

Meant to say before, but I'm glad your scan went well medee and you got a good sonographer again. The one that I had at my 12wk scan was the midwife who looked after me and DD in the postnatal ward last time! It was lovely seeing her again. How's that for continuity of care??

I think I'll have to rule out evening meet-ups for the time being ladies . DH doesn't come home from work until at least 6.30pm and by the time I'd get into town, it'd be just after 7pm. If anyone ever fancies a weekend though, just give me a shout.

Hi LNT, hope you're feeling well. TBH a weekend meet would be better for me too - although I could do an evening I'm getting to the knackered stage now (I'm sure Karen would agree!). W/C 22nd Nov I'm on mat leave - woo woo! I could do Mon or Wed evening that week, depends on what everyone else can do...

weekend works for me too, what about Saturday 20th?

I agree, evenings are too much for me now. Not sure I will make it on/around 20th as I have been told to rest more, but we will see how it goes nearer the time.

Had another scan today due to size of bubba and got an idiot sonographer. She said "I wouldn't bother buying new born clothes if I were you, they will be too small".... obviously had a panick attack as New borns I have bought go up to 12llbs. But Doctor said that was ridiculous and the woman should not have said that, Damage done tho. Wish people would think before they offer their stupid opinions!
