I was 20wks on saturday! Grin my scans friday I cannot wait and really hope to find out the sex!

I agree its a bit scary too, I will have a 4 and 5yo when dc3 arrives. Christmas will be chaotic!

Hi state

xmasevebundle congratulations, I'm 21 weeks today yesterday, (god I wish I could sleep) we had our scan a few weeks ago and it was great! Although we're having a 'surprise' baby!

If you fancy moaning talking to ladies around the same gestation as you we have a Dec Ante natal thread in the ante natal section here :) newbies welcome!

chipsandmushypeas · 06/08/2012 09:56

Hey, I'm 20 weeks today, scan tomorrow! Good luck!

chipsandmushypeas · 06/08/2012 09:56

I'm definitely finding out, although was told probably boy at 12 week scan :)

StateofConfusion · 06/08/2012 15:15

I'm convinced this is a boy, I really hope they can tell me friday! Dd wouldn't let us see little madam!

BuntyCollocks · 06/08/2012 16:26

I'm 20 weeks on Friday, and have my scan Thursday. We know she's a girl, had a private gender scan, but looking forward to getting the reassurance she's both ok, and still a girl!

rosieposey · 06/08/2012 16:36

I was 20 weeks yesterday and have anomaly scan on Friday. I have about 18 weeks to go as have diabetes and am having a c section at 38 weeks - still seems like ages though.

Found out at 13.5 weeks that it's another DS :D and have since had it confirmed again but I will be glad when next Fridays scan is over. I've done his nursery already as in another 8- 10 weeks I'll feel like doing nothing, just have to decide his name now!

chipsandmushypeas · 06/08/2012 16:55

Oh god I haven't even bought anything, let alone start nursery! Worried now

xmasevebundle · 06/08/2012 21:50

chipsandmushypeas I had to re read that twice!! Need to go spend some £££

Also now thinking of chips and mushy peas Envy

Oh don't worry im just super organised with this one as I get fat, knackered and a bit immobile in that order in the last few weeks ( plus I was hoping for a ds again so I could indulge myself in the Cath Kidston Cowboy print for his nursery) Grin

I've had a lot of fun on eBay the last month - I chose a buggy in babies r us and didn't want to pay 350 for it so found a near immaculate one which was the same on ebay for 120, I know some
people are superstitious about nurserys and prams in the house but I figure look on the happy side and I am literally wishing these last 18 weeks away. Sometimes it's good to have three or so months to organise everything then you can relax - I plan on having the bag packed for my cs by 26 weeks or so.

Not desperately worried about the anomaly scan as have had quite a few private scans with a lady who knows me well from my last pg ( it was her that told me a boy this time just before 14 weeks it they don't usually) and if there was anything major I hope and think she would have seen it - had my last one a couple of weeks ago and it seems ok, will still be glad to get Friday over and done with though, loads of growth scans due to diabetes after this one though.

rosieposey · 06/08/2012 23:04

Oh and a cardiac one at 24 weeks for the baby too!

PogoBob · 07/08/2012 09:09

Congratulations, I'm 20 weeks on Friday, due on 28th December with a little boy.

NHS scan not until a week Friday (21 weeks) but had a private scan to find out the gender last Saturday as hospital wouldn't tell us in last pregnancy and wanted to prepare DD was what flavour sibling she's getting!

BuntyCollocks we must be due the same day! I keep looking at the Dec thread but worried it moves too fact for me!

PogoBob · 07/08/2012 09:10

I haven't done any shopping - just got DD baby stuff out of storage!

BuntyCollocks · 07/08/2012 11:31

Pogo yes, same edd! I'm actually on the January one as my original edd was 1/1/13. :)

PogoBob · 07/08/2012 13:28

Ok Bunty, this is getting a little freaky - by LMP my EDD is also 1st Jan.

Only changed to 28th Dec at 12 week scan (which I have little faith in as it was a trainee doing it and she took 4 goes to get a measurement and then didn't seem that confident she'd got it right!)

Kizza2 · 07/08/2012 13:31

Hi I am 20 weeks too- due 28th Dec but i will not be going past 37 weeks which case, i have 18 weeks to go....got my 20 week scan this friday :)

BuntyCollocks · 07/08/2012 14:27

Pogo that is weird, as mine also changed at my 12 week scan from what I had it as by LMP! Shock

Are you sharing the flavour on mn? ;) We found out at our gender scan that this one is a DD - over the moon!

kizza lots of us due 28/12 then! Good luck on Friday!

chipsandmushypeas · 08/08/2012 07:33

How did your scan go xmaseve ?!

My baby was breech and shy so had to try to get them to move and it worked eventually. I'm having a boy :) over the moon. Everything is measuring perfect so very pleased

CakeBump · 08/08/2012 10:23

ooh can I join in?

I'm 20+6, due 21st Dec, and we had a scan last Monday, but I came away sooooo disappointed because the baby was all hunched over and the doctor couldn't tell us if it was a boy or girl. I felt like crying! Sad

Anyway we're going back for a more detailed scan on Monday so I've snapped out of the doldrums now and am keeping everything crossed that its healthy AND we get to find out the flavour next week!!

chipsandmushypeas · 08/08/2012 10:32

Hey cake what's with our hunched over babies?! Glucose tablets did the trick so maybe take some sweets with you next time to get baby moving!

Good luck for Monday!

PogoBob · 08/08/2012 10:34

cake sorry about unhelpful baby - hope you get an answer on Monday.

bunty having a boy this time, already have a girl who will be 2 this weekend.

CakeBump · 08/08/2012 12:54

Thanks all, I was dying to ask if I could just get up and walk around for a bit, but it didn't seem an option. I got really stupidly panicked at one point as the doctor said she could maybe see a scrotum but no penis, and I thought the baby was deformed!! Blush

I'll take some sweets and have a drink of water or two before Monday - I didn't even know that could work!

Congrats on the baby boy, Pogo - one of each! :)

BuntyCollocks · 08/08/2012 13:09

Congrats, pogo - my DS will be just under 2 when DD arrives. :)
