@babydust2412 ah ok, so you couldn't wait ehh lol. Really hope you get what your wishing for ❤

@howlathebees I've only had scans in the past at 12wks or around 20wks
So I was thinking how you knew earlier on.
But yeah makes sense now, also your couple of weeks ahead from me, I must stop judging on my time line lol 🤣 I haven't had my first can yet, but will do this Thursday coming, can't wait. So naturally I was thinking how some finding out gender when I haven't had my first scan 🤣

howlathebees · 10/08/2020 11:30

@babydust2412 it’s really great! We’re still holding out on buying things until the 20 weeks scan for double confirmation though!

@Safxxx aww good luck with your scan!! It’s so exciting using it xx

Muriel84 · 10/08/2020 11:30

@howlathebees ooh a theme! Amazing!

We’re not finding out the gender but that hasn’t stopped me trying to guess! Keep changing my mind.

I’ve been booked a glucose tolerance test on Friday! Sounds awful! Regretting eating a banana as I was waiting for my booking bloods as it put my blood sugar slightly over 😂

@Safxxx excited your scan is this week! Xx

Safxxx · 10/08/2020 13:07

@babydust2412 thankyou ❤
@Muriel84 are you diabetic? I'm not but my parents are, so I will be monitored and they will do a glucose tolerance test around 7mths. Previously I've been fine no problems hopefully all goes well this time too. Xxx

Safxxx · 10/08/2020 13:09

@Muriel84 thankyou can't wait for scan ❤
Hopefully your glucose tests are fine Xxx

babydust2412 · 10/08/2020 14:44

@Safxxx haha no I couldn't wait I'm so impatient 😂 ahh not long to wait until your scan then that's so exciting ❤️
@howlathebees im definitely waiting til I know for sure to buy anything else now too xx

@Safxxx nope! No one in my family has diabetes. My bmi is low. My glucose was a teeny bit over but I’d just eaten! Is it just two blood tests with a glucose drink in between? I’m worried about fasting! The morning is my most hungry time! Xxx

Safxxx · 10/08/2020 17:14

@Muriel84 it's been a while but yeah sounds about right. I know what you mean without breakfast on time it's so hard, I start to feel sick if I don't eat.
But the time they give you they usually see you on time, as long as they don't make you wait it will be ok.. take a snack with you to have straight after your test. Xxx

howlathebees · 10/08/2020 19:21

Thank you muriel! I think we’ve found a name :). What do you think you’re having?

The heat is killing me today

Snorlax86 · 10/08/2020 19:23

I’m so conflicted between wanting to know the sex and not. We were trying for years so have a shortlist of names and I’ve decided on one for a boy and on one for a girl, so I feel if I find out the sex I will just end up calling it by the same rather than baby and then there will be no element of surprise!

Safxxx · 10/08/2020 20:29

@Snorlax86 choose the names and put them on the back of your mind until they're born.
To be honest I rather know so when the time comes to shopping I know what to get.
But if you don't want to know and want to keep it as a surprise then that's fine. I think it's quite common to refer to the baby as baby rather then name. Keep the name to yourselves and a surprise to others. Xxx

Snorlax86 · 10/08/2020 20:42

Thanks @Safxxx Flowers

Muriel84 · 11/08/2020 07:07

@howlathebees I think I’m having a boy but that’s based on nothing! I always thought I wanted a girl cos I’m the only girl out of four. But now I really don’t mind either way. I did a Chinese gender predictor yesterday which said boy!

@Safxxx thank you! I’m already dreaming about the almond croissant I’m going to eat after the test! Xxx

Snorlax86 · 11/08/2020 08:44

I’ve just done the Chinese gender predictor too @Muriel84 it also says boy. We always had a preference before getting pregnancy but since we got pregnant we don’t have one, will be interesting to see if the predictor is right!

babydust2412 · 11/08/2020 09:12

@Muriel84 good luck for your glucose testing ❤️ definitely bring a snack for afterwards, treat yourself to something tasty 😊
@Snorlax86 it's completely up to you whether you find out the sex, my parents never found out with me and they loved the surprise. I'm only finding out so that I can buy more things in advance because I'm struggling to find many gender neutral things at the moment ❤️
I might have to try the Chinese gender prediction and see what it says!

Muriel84 · 11/08/2020 11:02

@babydust2412 thanks!

H&M just got a load of new cute gender neutral stuff on their website. Pretty reasonable as well. Trying to stop myself from buying stuff... distracting me from work! 🙈

howlathebees · 11/08/2020 11:17

The gender predictor was right for DS2 and DS3 but not DS1 and DS4!

I think I’ve always had a bit of a preference for boys. Not enough to be disappointed if I had a girl but there’s barely any boys in my family so it is nice to have so many

Safxxx · 12/08/2020 11:56

Hi I had a call from hospital to check if I'm well enough to come for the scan tmro. They said to come alone and as a compensation for not allowing anyone else to come with me I get FREE Scan pictures.
(Otherwise they charge £10)
Ahh that made my day lol can't wait til tmro now, hopefully all goes well.
@Muriel84 Now I'm getting scanxiety lol 🤣🤣

babydust2412 · 12/08/2020 20:32

@Safxxx aww that's lovely news! Good luck to you for tomorrow I'm sure it'll go great ❤️ don't get too nervous it's not as nerve racking once you get there, bet you can't wait to see your little one xx

@howlathebees
Thankyou 😍

Muriel84 · 12/08/2020 22:32

@Safxxx yes good luck tomorrow! Please let us know how it goes! That’s good news about the photo! x x x

OnNaturesCourse · 13/08/2020 13:40

Hey. Has anyone had their screening report delivered yet?

Muriel84 · 13/08/2020 13:59

@OnNaturesCourse nope. When was your test?
Mine was a week ago. They said two weeks and I’d get the results by post I think. All my other tests came through on this app they use.

Stef92 · 13/08/2020 14:01

I have my scan next Friday when I will be 13+1! Just found out a friend has had a miscarriage and i have no idea how im to tell her I'm pregnant, we were waiting until we had the scan photo to announce to everyone 😑
