I'm in bounce

Had our first scan yesterday but have to go back in 3 weeks due to being a bit early (11 weeks 4 days) to make sure they have formed ok but gives us another chance to see the little one amazing feeling seeing them wriggling around.

The Wife has been showing for about 5 weeks now :-D and was getting to the point where she could no longer hide it.
That is an early show, I didn't look pregnant til about 5 months, felt like a right fraud

Nah just the one but seems wrong calling it it. By the size of her you would think it was though biggrin
It might be a bit of bloating then, especially if it's your first

I'm looking after our 2 year old niece today - Christ it's tiring... The next 15 weeks can't go quickly enough though - strange isn't it!!

Agreed. Is the due date of your "friend" still 28th Dec? Ours is the 30th.

We didn't want to say anything so early considering we're both members on here - ours is the 31st, though 10p is determined to make sure it's before then by scaring me etc as he doesn't want a child born in 2013, my guess is 5th Jan smile

Found out 2 weeks ago that my wife is pregnant.... Just over 5 weeks! Only just started trying!

Really really nervous about things going wrong and it's a challenge not telling the family!!

Mines been feeling very sleepy and looks abit bloated. Also been having stomach ache (which I hope is normal).
Hope all goes well!

Congrats edition!

Waiting to tell family is a chore but it does give u and the mrs the chance to get used to the whole idea. Great relief when u can get it all out in the open.

Stomach ache is normal, as long as it's not severe or accompanied by bleeding. It's just everything stretching out and getting used to it's new job... It doesn't get any more comfortable as time passes!

Telling family is a difficult one- on the one hand you don't want to have to break bad news if things don't work out, but conversely you have more support should the worst happen.

We chose to tell our parents when we were about 5 weeks or so, but all others had to wait until after the scan for the news.

Congratulations smile

Thank you both :-). The wife doesn't want to tell anyone until 12 weeks and the first scan.... I would love to tell my parents as I'm mega excited (as is she but nervous things may not go to plan).

Well, after joining the PH Parents of 2012 thread and unfortunately having to leave due to a miscarriage, we finally have good news!!

My OH is pregnant and two weeks ago we had our 12 week scan (12+6) and everything was fine. It was surreal, he/she wouldn't stop moving which was quite comical, but I am still just stunned by it. She is due 28th March 2013 and our 20 week scan is 7th November.

I cannot wait! Congratulations to everyone else in here too. I wish you all the best and will keep my fingers crossed for everyone that all goes well.

We hope not too - but if that's the way it is that's the way it is.

We had our 20 week can yesterday and boy has the little one grown since our 12 week jobbie.

No longer is there an tiny alien looking thing in there but a fully functioning little baby!

Delighted to report that there are no obvious health concerns, the only issue being that I was determined to know the sex but was over ruled by an increasingky hormonal Mrs Green.

Incredible to think that the next time I see him/her they will be in my arms in 18 weeks time.

Glad to hear it! smile

87 days to go and counting for me and 10p - getting excited, and just a little nervous!!

So far we have got a Moses basket, a pile of clothes, a cot, car seat and pram, a baby swing thingy, and a baby bath. We're getting there slowly but surely - just have to move house now!

86 days for us. Cannot wait now! We have just done the move house thing, I wouldn't have wanted it to be much later.
