12-24 weeks pregnant (part2)

Hubby and I have been convinced we're team blue since about a week after we found out we were expecting!!!

But saying that, we have a girls name, but not a boys name!!! Eeeek!

I'm pretty sure Im team blue

What makes you say that? I don't really know what to think. However when I think about whether I crave sweet or salty or whether I've put on lots of weight or not I get one answer, but the heart rate suggests another and leg hair growth suggests another. I don't know whether my morning sickness was considered bad or good, and I don't know whether I'm blooming or not.

Thats how I felt.

I was so ill (and still am a bit sick, I mean I feel sick all day and still being sick once or twice each morning) everyone said it meant a girl.

Craving sweet apparently thats a girl.

Then we heard the heart beat and it sounded like a galloping horse which apparently is a girl.

Then we heard the heart beat again and it sounded a bit more like a train - supposedly boy.

Then I read heart rate over 140 is girl, below is boy, mine was 140 :rotfl:

So I guess it swung towards girl, but I really had no idea. I started to think it was a boy so I was quite surprised when she said it was a girl!

Not even to us? Or have you got sneaky family who will look on here!

My friend did that, her family were terrible with trying to trip her up and say he or she

I said to DH we can start calling the baby her name now, but he said no we cant as he knows if he does that he'll say it by accident outside the house to someone, so were just calling her 'she'!

Not even to you, just in case!

Lots of people are trying to trip us up, but it just makes me more determined that it's our little secret.

I've just called to book my nhs antenatal classes and have been told that they are all fully booked until end of March! Eeek!
Not sure what to do now? I can't afford the NCT ones (I won't get discount as we are over the salary bracket but we physically can not afford to spend that much money with everything else we've got to pay for!)

Will the hospital frown upon me if I haven't been to the classes?

No they won't frown on you, I never went to any.

Can I please hsve some advice? I've been contacted on facebook by one of my husband' s colleagues "revealing" herself as a forum user, which basically revealed that she iscsuffering a miscarriage and iin the same breath congratulated me on my scan.

Firstly I was shocked as we're not really friends so if she was goingnto congratulated us I would have thought she would have contacted my husband, and secondly it made me realise she'd followed me online. I really don't know what to make of it but its really upset me because I feel awful for her and although I'm sure she hasn't meant to I feel guilty for still being pregnant when she's suffering like this.

I guess we would have been due around the same time so now when I look at the scan picture instead of feeling excited I just think "thats what her baby should look like"

I asked her why she'd contacted me and she ssid she didnt know and to forget it. Now I worry I've upset herv and I've held off on reply ing because I just don't knowvwhat to say. I want to help her but dont know how and I don't want to "rub in" that I'm pregnant.

Such a dilemma

I woke up this morning & had some bleeding. Were off to a&e.

I feel like the worst day of my life is about to happen.

I had never heard of the leg hair thing until you just mentioned it so I've just googled it and that's another thing that's true for me!! strangely enough I had been wondering about my leg hair as previously it grew at the speed of light and if I shaved on a Monday I'd have gorilla legs again by the Tuesday!!?
Now they're hardly growing and I'm only needing to shave them every 4 or 5 days (or when I can be bothered). I love that my little girl is making them grow less!! :-)

My girl symptoms were: evening sickness, a galloping heartbeat and a pointy chin on the dating scan!!! Not sure if I have any others but I just kind of knew from the start - mothers intuition!!

Oh Claire, I hope it's nothing. Fingers crossed that everything is okay for you. Xxxxxx

Huge hugs Claire. My friend has just had this and it was due to changes in her cervix. Really hope it's something easily sorted. Will be thinking of you xxxxx

Claire, I'm really hoping it's just because you had sex last night or your placenta is low and it's all fine. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best. XX
