Open to all elderberry grads and anyone who fits the berry criteria: over 30, 1st to early 2nd trimester(ish) with #1 after trying for a loooong time, and nervous as hell. Come on in for handholding and nub theory!

Showed my mum my (mostly haribo rather than baby) belly on Skype earlier and got told off for having a belly bar in! Been in so long (about 15 years) I'd completely forgotten I'd never mentioned that one haha!

Tally what time is your scan? I will have a final run through the fb pics tonight to lodge my gender guess

Tallyra · 27/11/2013 21:25

it's at 11.30 but I'll be going straight back to work then working through lunch and going straight to yoga afterwards. I'll try and het a minute to update you if I can Grin

CatsCantFlyFast · 27/11/2013 21:32

I'm going to guess girl, but I want to stress that that is just a 50/50 guess as I can't get a clear view of a nub from any of your pics. Don't mind being proved wrong this time as it's entirely uneducated! Anyway good luck and enjoy it, it's lovely to get a long look at baby

Boomgoestheweasel · 27/11/2013 21:35

I'm guessing boy, based on the scientific reasoning that everyone else has got girls so far (I think...) so it must be time for a Y chromosome to pop up. Hope it goes well!

PuppyMummy · 27/11/2013 21:36

can someone add me please! 13+4 due 31st May

I am going to run away and marry the person who invented gaviscon. Instant relief from hell on earth. Thank you mr gaviscon inventor, wherever you are. Now if you could just sort out my breathing so I could sleep that would be fantabulous Grin

PuppyMummy · 28/11/2013 06:51

BlindKitty · 28/11/2013 07:11

Brodicea · 28/11/2013 11:59

Adding myself - oh kitty I'm worried too as I got a tattoo on my arm in March that I haven't told my mum about and may be revealed at some point through babyness / warm days.

Oh tally that's amazing news!!!! Are you pleased??? Can't bloody wait for cheeky Xmas scan now!!!

Tallyra · 28/11/2013 12:38

it's all getting a bit real now ShockGrin Grin Grin

but I'm really pleased. slightly Envy that mil is right and I was wrong. she's always right!

but I don't care what it is as long as it's healthy, which she is. her head circ is at the lower end of normal but all is good. I am amazed at how surprised the techs always are at a full bladder, considering the letter says I'll be sent home if it isn't!

CatsCantFlyFast · 28/11/2013 13:00

Great news Tally! Are the 3 confirmed genders now ALL girls?? We are going to be fighting over names!

CatsCantFlyFast · 28/11/2013 13:01

And [smug] emoticon for me being right!

Boomgoestheweasel · 28/11/2013 13:14

Dammit, wrong again! Lovely news though Tally Grin There had better be at least one boy in here to counteract all the pink!

Brod you're getting flutters at 17wks? You lucky toad, I may just pop with jealousy! MOVE babies, damnit!

Brodicea · 28/11/2013 15:01

I think I am, especially in the night - but I may be mistaking digestive processes in my sleepy delerium. DH swore he felt them last night as my stomach was pressed against his arse!
