chocolate, I'm glad the scan went well. Re: Ramzi, if the tech seemed unsure, I'd say it's still a 50/50 chance of boy/girl, though if your gut tells your boy, and you're good with that, I think it's totally awesome My heart is very open to either, though of course I did sway girl.

Chocolate whatyear is your zafria? Mines 52 Reg so i think a newer modal would have a proper middle seat belt. I don't like using the seats in the back as then you loss most of the boot and the pram and shopping are in the way if you want get out. Also it's a pain to get out one of the normal doors. I normally run my cars into the ground before getting another but ideally I want a four seater car for work and school run and a newer mpv for family days. I really don't like the lap belt. Apart from that my zafria is great. Basic but very reliable car that never breaks down or needs repairs.

chocolate glad everything at the scan went well! what side was bubs at?

Glad the scan went well! It's always so reassuring to see them!

Well tomorrow is the day of the family photo for my nan's birthday present, I've been trying to find something to wear been quite stressed! there's nothing like looking fat not pregnant! I'm starting to notice that my bump is coming along, but to notice you have to wear the right clothes! I've found a nice dress to wear with leggings which actually makes me look pregnant

I found the babies heartbeat for ds1 to listen to this afternoon, he was amazed! His face was a picture! Ds2 had a listen as well which was cute! But he doesn't understand it all at the moment!

Auroara and LMW - I was quite dissapointed with the scan, literally 3 mins of seeing bubs and listening to heart beat! She thought I meant was the placenta to the left or right of the baby, then I told her it also has to be reversed, then she said but how do I say left, my left, your left, scan left........ I said if its left or right on picture printed, or left or right of my womb - she then goes so placenta to the right what does that mean, so I said boy ........... who knows if she had already reversed that, or if she was going by her knowing it was on my womb right, confused!!

I didnt get a pic, they did it in 3d/4d and it was funny because she was like 'can you see it' and Im like 'yeah ........ its a blob' lol.

Maybebabythree - yes mine is 52 reg, the next year would have had a 3point seat belt! I think Mondeo's can fit 3 car seats along the back, worth googling or try posting on a parenting forum like netmums. There is a Honda car that is a 6 seater, 3 in the front and 3 in the back

Ah chocolate, that's so annoying. Why don't sonographers understand that gender can be a very sensitive subject for some mums. I tried to ask at my 12 week scan and got a very firm 'it's too unreliable at this stage, wait for your 20 week scan'. Didn't feel I could ask for a nub shot or anything after that! x

Chocolate, glad ur scan went well!!! My placenta at 6wks 1 day was middle at the top but it was a vaginal scan. So was 50/50 for me. Don't they say it's reversed???? My placenta is now at the right side. We are desperately hunting a 6 seater Honda FRV with no luck x

Hi all, well been signed off work now indefinetly! Only 26wks, but babies here in 10wks and my Haemoglobin was low at 9.0, no wonder I've been sleeping most mornings once boys at school! Been started on Ferrous Fumarate, nasty stuff, my gastritis is playing up with shocking heartburn (bringing up mouthfuls of rusty acidic vomit) Sorry if tmi!! and having oespaghus pains and I only took 1 tab!!! Will give it over the weekend, if still causing tummy probs will call gp for an alternative or coated tablet. To take 3 per day!! Bring on the laxatives too!!! nightmare. Only ever took Iron after my sections before. Babymad and anyone else, what did u all take in pg for low Iron levels?

Saw the physio for a support belt today and got a lovely 'jock strap' type contraption ordered for my varicose vein in my 'unmentionables' as Maybe calls it!! lol

Hope ur all well?

Deaks, did u attempt?

Lavender, sounds interesting. I saw someone who said 'emeralds' would be very significant to me this year and saw me with 'new life'...these babies are due May (emerald birthstone). So u never know.

Charlie and Indigo, hope that pain settles soon and u get plenty rest.

I found out that the birth stone of April is indeed a RUBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, so shocked! Meant to be?? well one of their names anyway. The day we found out it was possibly girls,we got in the car and that song 'Ruby' was playing by ?? Kaiser chiefs was on the radio when we started the car....lol We burst out laughing!

Hi to everyone else, think I'm on a nappy buying addiction!! Lol All these baby events! Got paid today, so going to get some stuff next week, starting with a nursing pillow to help feed babies after my section, even tho they will be bottle fed, takes alot of weight off supporting them. Dh watching pirates of the carribean, I have lost interest in it!!

Off to bed, nite ladies. xx
