Well if mine is by some miracle a boy we can swap because I've got loads of girly stuff (keep in mind we don't know what it is!!) because OH is a big woman and can't do boys!

pigpen I have no idea how you've managed to keep that envelope shut!!! :eek: Im saying you're having a boy! x

Angle of dangle. Clear nub and baby is lying very flat.

Baby has hand over face that's why it looks like they have a beak! Thumb in mouth at one point.

What do you think?

We're not going to go out and buy all blue or all pink. We'd be more likely to buy clothes that are wearable by both to start with in case we have another. And I'm not painting the room in pink or blue either way!

To me it does look like a perfect example of a boy if you look up nub theory. But it's always possible that it might change later on. Gosh it's so exciting!

Honestly I've no idea Freddie but I'm sure you'll know for definite at your next scan. it does look suspiciously like a wee dangler there

Feeling like a very lapsed Catholic today - chocolate and hot cross buns for breakfast - whoops. Suppose to be fasting but I'll give myself a break this year! Got my Easter egg in the fridge and I'm all set to crack into it on Sunday after mass!

Heading out with hubby today, planning a walk in the park and some take away and drinks (water for me) tonight with friends. Still haven't bought any girl clothes yet, I think I'm slightly afraid to. I feel like I need to see her with my own eyes and know her personality, if that doesn't sound completely bonkers lol

I might be totally wrong. It's often been known. But when I had my last scan I asked how they tell the sex so early and she said the look for the presence or absence of overies and its nothing to do with boy bits because they're often something else in the way and not what you think they are that early. Like I said, could be wrong..

Anyone else had a numb upper left thigh? It started earlier today and I still have it. I have googled and it could be due to the baby pressing on a nerve. I have walked lots last 2 days so that may have contributed to it. But wonder if I should mention it to MW or not?

Pregnancy got in the way a bit today. Last night we (OH and his kids) went to the Wales football match and stayed over in Cardiff. Then today we went to Techniquest which is an interactive play activity/learning centre and to Ikea. A couple of times today my bump felt very heavy and I needed to have a sit down! I'm only 22wks so dreading what's to come lol!

Oh and I bought the first outfits for baby yesterday! Just a pack of short sleeve sleep suits from Sainsburys as it was 25% off. They are the first unisex non plain white ones I've seen, there are couple white ones but also white with grey elephants and grey stripey one.

I would mention it just in case. I woke up in the night around 24wks pregnant with my first child and couldn't feel my thigh. It was completely numb, nothing I did brought the sensation back. I was convinced I had DVT (despite that not being a symptom!!), rang the out of hours GP at 2am, he reassured me. By the morning feeling had come back, they also said baby on a nerve. Never had it again but scared the life out of me!!

I don't know if it's the same thing, but to a lesser amount, but I sometimes end up numb and with pins and needles or sometimes restless legs if I've rolled over onto my back by accident in my sleep. I wake up after however long and have to try and wriggle around til the feelings come back and I can roll onto my back again.
The killer for me at the moment, which I'm hoping is the same for everyone is how bad the bottom of my back is. Not the whole back, just the (going to spell this wrong) coccyx. I got a wedge cushion at work which is supposed to help, but doesn't. It's even when I'm on the couch or lying down now though. Dr Google explained to me why it happens. But I didn't know if it was meant to be quite so sore and all the time.

I have so many friends who look back on their pregnancies as absolute joys and magical. I'm wondering if they're crazy or have found some way to block out the memories of months of nausea, pain and discomfort. So far the only magic for me if when I've gotten to see and hear the little monster on the screen and I get to say "hello, so you're the one putting me through this".

Have we got a list of members on this thread? Like on the 12 week thread (granted I had to recreate it) or shall I start one?

Just thinking it's nice to know who's here and what stage we're all at.
