This was mine at 23 weeks! I’m also having a surprise☺️ do you have a feeling either way? Xx

elb90 · 02/05/2023 14:36

@ChloeN Ahh lovely - how far are you now? It's very hard not knowing isn't it, I'm dying to know now 😂 my due date is 28th august!

I don't know what I think, I'm swaying towards more a boy? But literally don't have a clue! How about you? Xx

@elb90 Ahh we’re not too far apart I’m 27 weeks! I’m absolutely convinced it’s a girl, no particular reason🤣 I had no idea until a few weeks ago! I think it’ll be a lovely surprise when baby gets here tho ☺️xx

23weeks on Friday and mine is girl. You can't really tell gender by shape of bump, it's old tales, same as with sickness. I have 2 teenage daughters and was sick as dog with them, this one not even once lol.

elb90 · 02/05/2023 15:11

@ChloeN Ahh are you! Do you have any cravings or any symptoms that made you think girl? It's weird as some days I think mine is a girl, but then I have mixed opinions on what people think it is! Yes we will both have a lovely surprise at the end! 🥰 good luck with it all! Time will fly for us now I think! Xxx

@Moni81 ahhh lovely! I was 23 weeks on Monday! That's so interesting- just shows you that these old wife tales are rubbish don't they! I already have a girl and so far I feel no different to how I did with her! She's 8 now though - so such a long time ago, will be a nice surprise I think ☺️ xxx good luck with it all!

@elb90 I admire you waiting for surprise, it's so hard to shop for neutral colour clothes, accessories etc.

ChloeN · 02/05/2023 15:23

@elb90 no none at all I just felt like it was a girl after a scan we had at 18 weeks🤣 I hope so! I go from feeling like it’s going so slow to then thinking there’s not really that long left! Xx

elb90 · 02/05/2023 15:49

@Moni81 it's honestly soo hard not knowing. But I have found such lovely beige/white outfits!
I have my scan pic here at 20 weeks this was. Xx

@elb90 I can’t ever make the scans out they’re so confusing 🤣🤣 I’m defo no good at the nub theory either 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have you planned when you’re going off on maternity, I feel like that helps me get through it 🤣 Neither of us mind either way so if it is a boy we’ll be over the moon with that too☺️ xx

elb90 · 02/05/2023 15:58

@ChloeN yes same! I posted on lots of groups too but they said the nub wasn't visible in the 12 week scan then can't tell from 20 week one either lol! So I'm going to stop asking people to guess and just ne patient now. Yes same we don't mind what we have! Just really struggling to find a boys name we both like! We have Polly for a girl I think. At the moment - it may change! Boy names are difficult! I'm going on maternity literally 3 days before my due date, so the 25th august, depending obviously! But I work at home most of the time so wanted to get as long off with the baby! How about you? Xxx

@elb90 in my case it's difficult with girl name, as there are 2 already lol and everyone has different idea including my daughter🙈 Polly sounds lovely, i have Chloe and Louise already, now have my my heart set on Amber but not everyone likes it, my partner picked Hannah, daughters ...Eden, Claudia, so it will be fight, need more ideas. With boy it would be easy as none of us ladies would have say lol and it would be Joshua I liked it or not haha.
Working from home is definitely advantage, however in my business I just can't move all my holiday for next holiday period, just carry over 5 days. I haven't used any so far as it runs march -february so will be taking majority of it before maternity. I stop working just after 20th of July (4on4off pattern stretches a bit) and my due date on 1st September, although I hope to give birth in last week of August. Due to my age will I not be allowed go over, having consultant appointment soon, so will see what the plan is.

elb90 · 02/05/2023 18:40

@Moni81 Ahh I have a daughter called Eden already ☺️ but yes agreed that's hard when you already have daughters! Also I named two of my cats nice girl names 😂 Nala and Luna, but the ones you like are lovely! Ah I have a nephew called Joshua it's such a lovely name, so I can't use that! Difficult isn't it!
Ahh yes I'm hoping to have baby in august too, I'm due on 28th but my daughter came 8 days after her due date so I'm not expecting to be early lol.
Ahh ok, will you get a C-section then?
I'm not sure what age they class as older, I'm 33 but haven't been told I'm not aloud to go over. My friend was 42 and she had a planned c-section!

It's so nice talking to people who are also expecting at same time ☺️ xxx
