Ah that's great - congratulations! Did you find out at a 16 week scan? I am leaning toward finding out!

rozac · 22/07/2020 11:41

Haha what date are you due @Tink2020? I am definitely going to be a long way off the Jan pay day I think lol. I'm actually thinking I might end up having a Dec baby as my first baby was 10 days early!

Tink2020 · 22/07/2020 11:43

I’m not due until the 28th of Jan x

rozac · 22/07/2020 11:48

Ahh bang on pay day haha! Do you have a feeling on what you're having? The nub was so clearly and obviously a boy the first time but this time the leg is totally covering it so no clues!x

123Phi · 22/07/2020 12:06

@rozac I’m going for a private scan next week too - so my partner can come and see the baby. We’re going to find out.. but we are impatient people and I think it would kill us trying to hold out

rozac · 22/07/2020 12:58

Ahh @123Phi that is exciting let me know how you get on :)

Tink2020 · 22/07/2020 13:45

I am thinking a boy as we have so many in the family. They all want me to have a girl for that reason x

WhoUsedMyName · 22/07/2020 15:21

@Onekidnoclue congrats on your boy 💙
@rozac I'm due the 10th jan too! I'm certain it's a boy we find out on Tuesday

rozac · 22/07/2020 16:13

Aw yeh I'm in the same bot @tink2020 - I know it sounds silly but I almost feel pressure over it with my OHs family, his mum has made it very clear she wants a granddaughter as she has 5 grandsons - but there we go. Makes me also think its another boy haha.
@whousedmyname - aw yay same due date! Please let us know after Tues :D

Tink2020 · 22/07/2020 16:20

I will be happy either way, completely out of my control lol x

footprintsintheslow · 22/07/2020 22:32

@Tink2020 I didn't know maternity shorts existed but they would definitely make my life better and I'm watching a few on ebay myself now.

@rozac we have the same due date and I have a scan in two weeks. We definitely don't want to find out the sex and I'm scared that I'll accidentally see something I shouldn't. Or that the consultant will let it slip.

Tink2020 · 22/07/2020 22:37

Did our announcement tonight 🖤🤟🏻

footprintsintheslow · 23/07/2020 19:05

@Tink2020 did people love it?

Tink2020 · 23/07/2020 19:08

Yes they didn’t expect me to be pregnant 🤣 but when they got over that shock they were not surprised about the style of announcement as we love our music 🎵

WhoUsedMyName · 23/07/2020 20:38

@Onekidnoclue dm has thankfully said we can move the drum kit to hers when baby comes 🤣she has no clue what she's done

Tink2020 · 24/07/2020 08:46

My partner has five electric guitars and a drum kit 😭🤟🏻🤭

blueskiesandapples · 24/07/2020 11:59

Hi All. New here 👋. I'm 13+4 and due on 25th jan. In all honesty I'm having a pretty miserable time - 24/7 nausea, throwing up 1-2 times a day, barely able to eat or drink and only then it's beige food. I was on Cyclizine to help but have been prescribed Ondansetron as am still being sick and losing weight. Not diagnosed with HG or anything yet. Just after a virtual hug - I don't think I can do this for another 6 months. Please tell me it gets better! Xxx

SnookyPook · 24/07/2020 12:10

@Tink2020 haha! Love it! Grin

I’ve just bought my first load of maternity clothes! Eek! Hoping the sizing is as good as the website implies!

SnookyPook · 24/07/2020 12:18

@blueskiesandapples oh that’s miserable ☹️ I haven’t much to say but can certainly provide a big virtual hug! Chin up! I’m sure it will get better eventually!

Onekidnoclue · 24/07/2020 13:02

Hey @blueskiesandapples we’re into virtual hugs around here! Have a couple!
Nausea is utter shit. It totally ruins everything. Are you still working? Is this your first? It does get better... but then they get bigger and get drum kits 🥴
