pregnant in aberdeen

[Sillyness]

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

20th would be good for me, plenty of babysitters around at the weekend so can escape for a little while!

Sorry to hear you had a rubbish time at your scan Karen I don't know if it helps, but a friend of mine had a scan at 38wks and was told that her baby would be well over 10lbs by her due date. They wanted to induce her that week, but she hung on until just after her due date and her baby was 8lbs 10ozs. I've heard loads of stories like that since talking to people about it so I wouldn't take it too much to heart.

I dread to think what size my little monkey will be since I'm at the uncomfortable stage already, and still have 14wks at most to go! I feel full all the time so don't have much of an appetite, and if I walk or sit down for too long, I get a feeling like a horse has kicked me in the nethers! Oh the joys! Please remind me of all this when I start thinking that no.3 would be a nice idea!!!

Sat 20th good for me too - what time ladies? Don't take any notice of the sonographer Karen, LNT is right. I've also heard loads of stories about how growth scans can be inaccurate. Hope you're feeling ok, you're full term now aren't you? :) Oh dear LNT, sounds familiar! DH has already banned me from having more cos all I've done is complain!

Does morning or afternoon suit people better?

Ha Ha Sapphire, I have been banned from any more too as I have done nothing but moan and puke for 9 months!

Not sure I am gonna make Sat as I am sooooo exhausted now that doing pretty much anything is too much, but I will pop along if I can.

I am 'full term' as of wednesday this week. Hope bubba comes soon but not til after weekend as DH is booked on a training course thursday and friday and folks are on hols.

LNT, I know how you feel. My pains have got better since pysio so go to docs asap and they can get u on waiting list.

:)

I'm in Edinburgh this weekend so won't make it, but I hope you all have a lovely time.

I'm happy to meet in the afternoon if any of the more pregnant ladies fancy a lie-in!

Can't believe you're full-term this week karen! How scary exciting! Are you all packed and ready to go? I started putting things together for my hospital bag yesterday. I know I'm only 28wks but I feel like I haven't really done anything much to prepare for this little one, since I have most things already. Poor child's suffering from second-born syndrome already!

The uncomfortable feeling that I was talking about the other day is probably more due to things being looser second time around, but have midwife on Thursday so will speak to her then. I keep forgetting that I actually meet-up with you ladies, so should really rein in my 'sharing' of details! I'm too used to being anonymous on MN!

It's a shame you won't make it SaorAlba, we'll hopefully meet-up again soon! And there might be babies next time too, judging on how frequently we seem to manage to get round to meeting!

Hi medee , hope things are fine with you!

Should we give Ineed and silly a nudge on facebook about Saturday? I don't think I'm 'friends' with any of the others from this thread.

Sorry, I seem to have an inability to type less than four paragraphs!

so saturday afternoon - shall we say 2.30 at Starbucks as usual?

Yeah, 2.30 pm sounds good to me.

Hello thanks for the head up LNT I can't do Saturday afternoon i'm afraid.
I am starting to feel like all your babies will be starting school before I get to a meet up again

2.30 good for me too. Shame you can't make Sat Ineed - we'll get round to another meet up soon. After Friday I'm a lady of leisure so I can meet up any time! Shame you can't make it either SaorAlba, hope you are well. Be nice if you can make it Karen - am dying to see that bump! Totally understand if you're too tired though :)

For those of you that are interested there's an NCT nearly new sale on Sat 27th Nov 10.30 - 12.00 at Portlethen Academy (which happens to be where I work - well for the next 2 days anyway!). Not sure what they're like but I might pop along anyway to see if any bargains can be had...

Just checking in to make sure tomorrow is still on! Is it just the 3 of us this time? Looking forward to meeting up and also getting a couple of hours to myself, think DD is brewing a cold or something, she's been a major grump today!

Yep, I'm still coming - think it is just the 3 of us. Hope DD is ok, the terrible twos eh!

Yes, I'm still coming!

Did anyone make it to the NCT Nearly new Sale? I was away so missed it, but would have gone if I could have.

No, couldn't be bothered in the end - too much snow. Would have taken half an hour to get the car ready!

that's a shame, but probably sensible!

just spotted on their website that it was cancelled due to the weather, so hopefully will be rescheduled soon.

Good job I was too lazy to go then!

just popping in to say hi!

Hi medee! Everybody has gone again! Congratulations to Karen who had a beautiful baby girl last week, hope we all get to meet her soon! I have got a week left from today - eeeeek Don't think she's budging anytime soon, hasn't even attempted to start engaging yet. Lazy, like her Dad...

Ah that's lovely news, congrats Karen!

This will be an opportunity for the public to share the news of their baby's birth with the entire nation. During 4 live hours on Christmas Day itself, One Born at Christmas will be announcing Britain's births, showing photo and video messages live to the nation and adding all that baby data to their very own Christmas Baby Map.

So, they want to hear from mums, dads, aunties, uncles, friends, neighbours, colleaguesâ?¦ ANYONE who knows ANYONE who might be expecting a baby at any stage of the festive period.

You are invited to contact the production team to let them know about ANY potential Christmas Day newborns:
