    Hello Raspabarbas (Hope I spelt it right!)

    Your due same time as me, I'm 13+4 today and times is going so slowly! Probably because I am s tired all the time and so not really doing anything.

    DH and I went for a visit to the maternity unit at one of the local hospitals last night. I have to say I wasn't really impressed with the facilities so I'm hoping the other hospital we could use will be better. If only I could get in touch with them to make an appointment for a visit. I've left 3 messages so far and they haven't returned my calls.

    Not much to report from me I'm afraid. I'm still only doing mornings at work because of the fatigue and I've got a meeting with my manager today. I don't think he is going to be impressed when I tell him that I can't see me being back full time next week given how I feel.

    Off to the GP tomorrow so we will see what she says then.

    Hello all, I'm a bit late moving over from the other thread, I'm now 14+2! Still haven't had my dating scan, I've had to reschedule it from Monday as I have an induction for my new job on that day. Wondering if I'll ever get it done!

    Edit - managed to squeeze myself in for the 24th, meaning I'll be 16+2! Suppose it can't be helped, but it seems like sooo long to wait!
    D'you know, in 900 years of space and time, I've never met anyone who wasn't important

    Well I never moved over from the other thread as have been too busy to talk baby but I'm 21 weeks today so might as well join in for the last few weeks until I progress to the final thread! It's dragged immensely since finding out (at an early 2 weeks!!) that we were expecting.

    Had my anomaly scan this week and discovered we have a nice, healthy boy on the way. I must say it came as a huge shock, we all believed that we were having a girl and it was a bit of a strange feeling to find out it was a boy. I just wasn;t expecting it. Anyone else been convinced it was one to discover it's the other? OH has even been calling him by the girl's name we have chosen for about three months lol.
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.

    i am thinking this baby is a boy but i am not going to find out at the 20 week scan. i will wait and see!

    a few of my friends are pg so i feel like i am in a long line of pg women. everyone else seems to find out so i am having a surprise to keep my pregnancy different! i was also thinking it would be better to find out for buying things but i am not going to buy much (except clothes) in blue or pink so it doesn't really make much difference.

    my husband has four brothers so we will be very suprised to have a girl. i would secretly love a girl but am resigned to a lifetime of boys! as long as i have a healthy baby either is fine for me :p

    See I didn't find out at my 20 week scan as I'm holding out for a puppy... I'll be sooo disappointed if I don't get it! I'm convincd mine's a boy too - hubby thinks I'll be devastated if it's a girl (he's not wrong knowing how obnoxious I was as a kid, lol)

    23 weeks and I'm finally in maternity clothes (except my trousers keep falling down lol)

    I'm having two bearcubs.

    OH is convinced that they are girls however I keep imagining boys. I am convinced that it is because I secretly want girls and am preparing myself should they be boys.
