Yay to seeing DH again fish!! And GL on scan keep us I'm the loop!

[Mum to three girls]

Fish, I'm SO happy for you! It would be a bittersweet thing to hear, but lovely to see bubba healthy and thriving in there too. I'm glad dh is almost home too and you can lean on each other.

Thorz that's such a cute idea! The whole concept is brilliant!

Wantingpink, that's so sweet, I bet your mum was over the moon at it all!

WAG, commiserations on the root canal. It shouldn't be painful though if that's any consolation, more just boring sitting there with your mouth open for so long.

Diva, I'm thinking of you. Telling people is something I'm dreading too.

I haven't decided about telling yet. People know I'm UTD, and everyone is asking if well find out at the morphology, and if we'll share. That was part of my reasoning in having the gender scan, so I could process the news in private first rather than being bombarded with questions straight away, so as far as I'm concerned, it was worth the $100. Now I'm still not sure I want to have to deal with their responses, whether jokes, commiserations or whatever, so I'm wondering about telling them that baby was shy and wouldn't flash, then they can wait til the birth, and by then I won't care a jot, and everyone's comments will be wrapped in the awe of a newborn baby.

When DD3 was revealed to be a girl I told the truth, that DH was sad for a day or so because he wanted a boy but we were slowly getting excited now about having three girls and we were overall grateful that the baby was healthy. People are generally much more interested in their own lives and I think if you're honest then there's no drama and just another healthy baby to celebrate.
Admitting that we were a bit (transiently) disappointed meant that most of the comments were supportive.

Diva, you are gorgeous and look very trim. My 13 week bump looks bigger than that.

Thorz, those pics are stunning.

Fish, I'm sure an NHS trained tech who presumably does high risk scans wouldn't have made a mistake with the gender. Good luck for Friday though.

WAG, better to get it fixed, even with anaesthetic than have it get worse whicle you're preggers. Aren't tooth/gum issues risk factors for prem labour?

And hi to everyone else!

My DH has gone away for 5 days, I've family staying who will help but DH has been doing the night wake ups with my wakeful one year old and getting up at five with her when she's up for the day. I'll be shattered by the time he comes home!

I just did a plain pregnancy plus gender announcement all-in-one on FB (with an ultrasound photo). I wish I could have something way cuter and I hate to admit it, but GD was getting the best of me.

Fish -- so happy for a great ultrasound for you! I can only imagine how bittersweet it must have been. I'm stoked that it looks like you might be getting your little girl, and what a special girl she will be! Can't wait to see what name you will pick for her and for her brother/sister.

Thorz -- I feel so bad for your hip problems. Pregnancy is already hard on your body when you don't have any health issues. I hope the pain will hold off for as long as possible.

I really want to scroll back and respond to everyone but I have to run. Just know that I read EVERYTHING. I just don't always get to reply to everyone individually. I do love this little group of ours though.

Im the same Diva, I read EVERYTHING too!! But in bits and pieces with 3 kids constantly at me the moment I look like Ive stopped for more than a minute! Im sure we all know that feeling!! I love this group too x

Ok I played around with it. I think that when I take the shot of the real thing, I'll have the boys IN their shoes so you can see legs, but they weren't in the mood to play "photo shoot" today lol this is the Idea that I think I am going to do....... Or should I do the whole pic in black and white or all in color?

[Wanting-a-girl]

I asked the dentist if I could wait till the baby is born and she said if I want and jacked about pre term labour and she said thats only a risk with gigivitis... I took antibiotics when I was 10 weeks to get rid of the infection so the infection is gone.... And I also feel like she is just using me as a guinea pig cause she doesn't know what's wrong...she said if the root canal doesn't work I will have to get my tooth pulled and I will have to get an implant... This dentist also told me antibiotics won't kill the infection but they did... I'm having lack of trust... And I can't just find another endodontist she's the only one in town

[fish2012]

Can you get an opinion from a dr or something? It's awful when you don't trust someone especially while your preggie

Thorz black and white with coloured baby shoes I think ;-)). I hope pinky ones!
