Hey welcome those coming up from the 12 week thread.

Big welcome to the newbies, how lovely the thread is so busy... They do say there's a baby boom!
Had my 16 week appt today and heard heartbeat, so wonderful! Midwife was lovely and answered all my questions. I'm wondering if I might have a uti, might just be paranoid after being called back for repeat urine test this week, but things don't feel quite right! Fine when I wee, but a bit uncomfortable other times. Hopefully hospital result will come through soon, or if things feel worse, i will go to GP.

Due to medical issues I will be induced or require a section so not much flexibility around the birth. To be honest as long as baby and I are safe and well thats all that matters to me.

I wasn't going to buy a pram/buggy as I am planning on mainly using a sling but I did get a preloved Silver Cross which is pretty but I have no idea really how practical it will be. Going to get a stretchy sling and a Becco Gemini or an Ergo.

Clothes are not something I am planning on buying a lot of especially as the gender of our baby will be a surprise. We are lucky though in that a lot of our friends have passed on clothes to us

Rummer I am the same with birth plans etc. I wont get to choose hospital, wont be allowed a water birth so feel planning my labour is a bit of a waste of time. i just want healthy baby and to go home as soon as I can

Oh i told my line leader at work I am pregnant Monday, Today as my first in work since i told her. She has told my manager. Today my manager was in all day and was in the office with me and said nothing at all. Not even congratulation!! she didnt mention anything about it. Strange women

Star - I had people in work asking if it was planned and some were even shocked that I was pregnant...I think they see me as the baby, all blokes except 2 women that I work with, and all in their 40's - 50's, so at 26 I really am the baby of the team
