Hello! My mum keeps telling me the opposite! 'watch what you're eating - you don't want to end up like your sister!' Haha! Sorry sis! She was a bit of a pie to be honest and ended up with horrendous stretch marks and didn't manage to lose the weight until her youngest was 6!

I hope you don't mind me jumping right in at 15+1 - how rude of me!

Baby brain is definately setting in. Made a (minor) error in work which has ended up financially costing the company (I work in freight, it happens). Wasn't technically my fault as colleague hadn't left me full instructions but common sense should have prevailed on my part - ah well!

Oh I didn't mean that you shouldn't be on here Claree_x I think some people just find the 'big thread' a bit overwhelming to start with, but as far as I'm aware any of us pregos can join whenever we want!

Baby brain is inevitable for most of us I think! I wouldn't worry about it. I have said some very daft things recently!

Baby brain causes much hilarity with my OH... I left the washing up liquid in the fridge, put the clean washing on wash instead of dry (with no detergent) and nearly fell asleep in my dinner. That's just this week...!

I'm having an August baby, but think I'll wait a few more weeks to add myself to the list.

I'm 16 weeks tomorrow

I thing for me I didn't want to join the thread because the women were talking about car seats and lots of things I didn't know or had thought about before 24 weeks it was daunting coming on this thread so early!

Weight wise I lost 2 pounds up to 14 weeks from being sick and now I've put that on and a stone and a half. And I'm due in 5 days! I've been really lucky because I seem to be all bump rather than gaining a massive bum.

Welcome to all the newbies!

I haven't been offered the GTT - and I have PCOS and am not particularly slim either.....

I have got my anti-D injections coming up though and as my MW didn't mention the whooping cough jab I booked myself in with a nurse. My MW told me to get checked over with my doc at 26 weeks but I'm not bothering - my doc will wonder why I'm there as I don't have anything really to talk to them about!

Next time I see the MW at 30 weeks she wants me to do my birth plan :eek: After being a bit horrified about the stress of a. driving 25 miles to a hospital and b. all the screaming on a labour ward that you hear about, I am now considering a home birth. Is it too late to consider this as I originally opted for a hospital, and secondly does being rhesus negative mean that you need to give birth on a hospital? Has anyone had a home birth? Is anyone thinking of having a home birth for a first baby? (is it a bad idea?). I just want a calm environment!!!!

pigpen

you can decide you want a homebirth once you are in labour and you have a legal right to be provided with a midwife or 2... It is a bit unfair on the midwives though who might be unprepared and very busy.. best to sort it before 36 weeks if that is what you choose to do.

Why are there no August or September babies on that there list?

Oh sod it, I'm coming over. There wasn't a 12-24 last time and it was good getting to know everyone last time in the pregnancy thread.

I'm Giz, 17+2, due 12th August with second baby. Won't be finding out the sex. Abnormally scan is 2 weeks on Monday.

I just came straight onto this thread - back to back pregnancies so I felt I'd done the early stuff to death already and didn't really want to go back over that all just again and again.
