@ASGIRC my friend had a couple of glasses of Prosecco in her pregnancy, no harm done. I have no strong desire to right now, maybe one at Christmas? Dunno tbh. I don’t like to torture myself after the event which is likely to happen with me.
Thanks for the book recs @countrypunk. when I hopefully get beyond 12 weeks I’ll look into some of this stuff.
I might try one of the 0% alcohol sparkling wines I have in the fridge later, if I’m feeling ok. Will report my findings!
Speaking of avoiding things, my ham and salami have been in the freezer a sufficient amount of time now, I can probably release them!
@CazzyM1983 they must have referred you to a consultant based on age too, right? They said 36 weeks appointment is to assess the 36 week scan, offer induction and see when baby needs to be delivered. They told me to ask about birth options at the 16 week scan, so maybe you get to see one after that? Dunno really.
@countrypunkwhat week scan was this? I take it you said you didn’t want to know? Did you do ivf or icsi? Grade 4s are fairly 50/50 I think, mine was a 4AA icsi and icsi favours girls slightly. I always said I wanted to find out but now I’m faced with the choice I’m less certain. I quite like having all the names in play, I will do a fairly neutral nursery either way…we can decide nearer to 16 weeks, I suppose, I’m 9 weeks tomorrow.
my friend always said she envisioned me with a girl. My mum had only girls, that could be why. But since then my nephews and nieces have been pretty evenly spread.
