New thread before the other fills and locks!

Welcome to all new peoplee great to hear of hopeful stories and babies on the way. State and WL can't believe you will have babies so soon! A bit jealous actually, can't wait to méet this one. I am glad we didn't find out the sex but now drive myself mad trying to guess! Makes chosing names more fun though, I have a list of about 10 boys and girls names so just have to méet it now. DS asked me earlier what baby is called and I explained that we don't know yet so he has decided to call it fluffy

Back from seeing my family for pre Christmas festivities as we are at in laws this year so all presents exchanged, have a massive family so although it costs a small fortune and requires enough wrapping paper to wrap a large whale, I now have a very tempting pile of gifts under the tree

Will be checking progress this week and can't wait to hear of healthy new arrivals, good luck all!

[MrsReiver]

Hi folks, WL and State I hope you are well, and excited! I'm excited for you, DH was hearing all about you in Asda today, were your ears burning?

What a weekend! One of our cats took very, very ill on Friday so DH had to rush home from work (thank goodness for cat friendly boss!) and take him to the vet. He's on the road to recovering now and we're hoping he'll be home on Monday. I held it together all Friday but definitely paid for the stress with some serious Braxton Hicks in the evening.

Dragging the conversation back to names, DH and I disagree hugely on names and DS' was the only boy's name we could agree on back then. We've only managed to agree on two this time round - one boy's and one girl's, which is convenient. They're both... unusual around here, the girl's is a traditional Irish name (my dad's family are Irish) and the boy's is a very old fashioned English name from DH' family.

It will certainly be interesting to see how they are received!

[WLmum]

001 I love fluffy! So cute. Dd1 thinks this one should be called snowbaby parpicles and dd2 thinks it should be called auntie Sarah!

[StateofConfusion]

001 my dd wanted to call this baby super rabbit for quite some time

Hope your cat makes a speedy recovery and is home very soon mrs I get awful braxton hicks when stressed, which makes me more stressed!

This names larks a minefield hey!

[AlphaBeta2012]

Hi All, just checking in to see how everyone is going. I have reached 17 weeks now, though recieved a horrendous kick to the tummy when swimming yesterday which worried me a bit, but bruising is more concentrated on my hip and EPU said not to worry.

WL and State so excited for you both!

DH and I are pretty set for names, there are only two we like one boy (Quinlan) and one girl (Elodie) so thats that I suppose! !

[MrsReiver]

Alpha, I was just reading that thread and it never even dawned on me that it was you! (YWNBU btw)

Quinlan and Elodie are beautiful names

[WLmum]

Hi alpha, great news that your coming on, and that you've settled on names - we're still not quite there yet!

Sorry to hear about the kick, I know that used to worry me when swimming, luckily I only ever got minor knocks. I did however fall over on the ice when pg with dd2 and all was fine. They are better protected in there than we think.

[StateofConfusion]

Omg WL tomorrows the day!! How quick has that come around!

I will pack my case tonight ready for wednesday.

I need to moan, my hospital have changed visiting hours for partners, they're now 11am-9pm, so the time of day dp could come without dcs is before 11.30 while dds in nursery, and now in the evenings ill be sat alone in the evening as my dcs go to bed 6pm! I can push it until 7pm but I'm stupidly upset about it!

[WLmum]

I know it's crazy! What a shame about the visiting hours - I think your DH should just show up early and hope for a kindly midwife. Could u get sil or someone to sit with dcs while they're asleep so DH can come back in the eve? That's what I'm doing, but I am lucky that my mum and in laws all live really close by (don't always consider it lucky but in this case I do!)

[StateofConfusion]

We live 30+ minutes from the hospital, ils live 120miles away from us and my Mum lives near the hospital and has a 4 and 7yo of her own, we'd got It organised to perfection with dp collecting our dcs dropping them at my Mums, couple of play dates etc, to get a letter saying visiting has changed.

[WLmum]

How frustrating!

[po1nsettia]

Hi everyone,

Got an early scan tomoz (8wks) after a mc in August, and am sooooo nervous I can't concentrate on anything at work...not sure I'll sleep tonight! :( Really hoping everything looks ok in there, but am aware that even seeing a hb tomorrow is no guarantee. Can't shake off this pessimism that has engulfed me, and I'm not sure what week I will feel 'pregnant and relaxed'!

Anyhoo, just fancied posting to get some reassurance...it's hard to talk to other folk about it all.

Bisous xx

[StateofConfusion]

Welcome aboard!

Good luck tomorrow, don't feel disheartened if you can't get a strong hb tomorrow, my first scan this time put me back 2 weeks but all was well :)
I don't think you truly relax at any point, I'm 39wks and still worry a lot. But best of luck there's loads of support here :) xx

Tell me about it WL here's hoping I can get 3G signal so atleast ill have mumsnet for company!

[WLmum]

Hadn't even thought about lack of signal - hope we both do, imagine not being able to share after all this time!

[backwardpossom]

Hope all goes well with the scan, po1nsettia, let us know how it goes - and welcome to this lovely, supportive thread.

WLMum and State I can't believe it's happening this week! Can't wait to hear your news

I'm seeing my consultant tomorrow (28+4), so hopefully I'll have my own section date soon. I think I'll keep it a secret mostly though, only telling a select few (which obviously includes you guys )

[WLmum]

Welcome and good luck po1. I think we all felt so so nervous about our scans, and pgs weren't really real for the longest time. Fingers crossed all goes well tom and helps you on your journey of happy and healthy pg.

[StateofConfusion]

Can't believe in less than 2wks you'll be 30wks possom that seems to have gone really quickly!

Well I packed my bag at last, babys bag done and spares bag for car done, guess what I forgot? Bloody maternity pads ffs!!

[WLmum]

You can have some of mine state I seem to have got a bit carried away!

[001001]

Po1 good luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes, we will be thinking of you.

foof did you contact the EPU? Are you going to have an early scan?

Mrsd77 keeping my fingers crossed that everything worked out ok for you.

State wait til you meet your baby, if you need a boys name I like all the ones on your list! I have a Finn and this one may well be a Noah...

WL I expect that we will be the first to hear the good news good luck!

Had mw today, baby moving plenty, strong hb etc so all good. They could not work out the position but think it is back to back which is why I have felt so many more jabs over the last couple of days! Very reassuring to feel it moving so much, am finally starting to relax! 32 weeks on Weds

[WLmum]

Great news 001, relax and enjoy.

Just taken the first of my pre-op meds! Eek!

[StateofConfusion]

good luck WL i am so excited for you, cant wait to hear all about it when you have time!

cant believe your already 32wks 001 I feel like ive lost a few weeks recently and now suddenly we are all nearly baked! I really like Finn as all along ive called it my little fish because of how the movements feel. I'm torn just cant decide fully, will wait and meet him, if its a him, my big ds is Jack which we just loved and stuck with, and still love it.

[WLmum]

Well here I am sitting on labour ward (feel a bit of a fraud)! Hoping I won't have to wait too long.

Good luck with scan p01

[GaryBuseysTeeth]

Good luck at the scan Po1nsetta.

WL, very excited for you! Good luck!

State, we didn't name DS until he was about 5 days old, we couldn't decide on a name & settled on one that we dismissed when I was about 3 months pg!
So this time around (fingers crossed) we're not discussing names until we have a baby (saves the arguments)!

Hurrah for relaxing 001!

[gemdrop84]

oooh best wishes to you wlmum, good luck with the scan p01 Not long now state I'm jealous!! Feeling very odd today and stressed out. Having an urge to clean everything in sight and getting stressed out that we don't quite have everything ready for ds. It's just nesting I'm guessing, never had it with dd! Hello to all other ladies hope you're keeping well, time seems to be flying by!!
