I will! Always up for a fight for the best for my baby

I did not doubt. I was put in late for mine though and had to fight more than I expected! Good luck :-)

Sweetbabu - glad that your DD was so excited, fingers crossed she manages to stay quiet until you tell your parents.

Poodle Fantastic that your scan went well.

Take it easy Firebird, hope you're feeling ok this morning. It can feel like a big shock even if it's only a tiny incident, so as the girls have said, be kind to yourself.

Sweetbabu, what a fab reaction from your daughter! How old is she?

I had my scan yesterday - so far so good - and really amazed at how much detail you could see! My due date has been put forward 6 days, so I'm now 13 weeks - guess I'll head over to the next thread then...

Hope the rest of the first trimester runs smoothly for all of you, especially you girls who are currently having a hard time of it! Fingers crossed for a relaxed and uneventful second trimester xx

I just realised that I replied to your scan in my head... Does anyone else do that?

Glad everything went well, hope to catch you up in the other thread soon!

It's amazing how much things vary when the pregnancy is actually dated, isn't it. Some people put forward and others back.

Hello everyone, mind if I join you please?
Just got my BFP today. Actually got a faint one Thursday , stronger yesterday but refused to believe it until I got a digital BFP today.
It still hasn't sunk in yet.
This is our first pregnancy
Still a little in shock I think.
We only got engaged last week so this really has been a huge couple of weeks so my head is spinning a bit.

Does anyone have any recommendations on good pregnancy books for dads to be?

Haynes baby manual- written in the style of the car manuals. You can get really cheap second hand copies of the previous version. We bought it for our BIL a few years ago and it had fab reviews

Edit: it includes pregnancy

Congratulations Munchkin on both the engagement and the BFP :j . I picked up a book called The Expectant Dads Survival Guide, he hasn't started reading it yet but has some good reviews and had a few recommendations for it also.

Hi everyone
Thanks for the advice. Had to be a little delicate (mum can fly off the handle easily) and say nothing til we've had a clear out and redecorated. She was alright with it. Firebird - sorry to hear about your accident, remember everyone is fine and it's only metal. I'm so dippy at the mo that I'm surprised I haven't bumped anyone, think it's only the parking sensors saving me!
Can't believe I'm 10.5 weeks now, just want the scan so I can announce it to everyone 😂 Went to an old colleagues leaving do the other week and got asked within 10 mins "are you pregnant or have you had surgery *cheers massive boobs*" - we are all nurses so quite blunt with that sort of thing! Rumbled!
Hope all is well with the rest of you xx

I'm sure this is a frequent conversation on here, but I'm quite surprised by the varied experience of not drinking. Makes me think just how many situations are normally marked with booze, from socialising, eating nice food, celebrating, unwinding, treating ourselves! Pudding is taking some of these over :-)

I felt awkward the first weekend (with one friend a bit impertinent). But this weekend with everyone being polite, it was a big relief. I'm finding company just as enjoyable as normal, and not missing the booze really. The only different thing is that when it gets late, the lure of staying for 'one more' holds no appeal whatsoever when it's a boring soft drink and I'm feeling the tiredness of preg!
