PH Parents of 2013
Discussion
Right, I know it's still April 2012 but I've just had the call from the missus telling me number two "is in the oven" and should be due January/February 2013!!
My hands are shaking, can't believe it. I've only just started week 5 of a new project in London while she stays in Belfast with our 2 yr old...
The ironic thing is that the docs said there was a chance we couldn't have any at all. I went and gave a "sample" nearly 3 yrs ago and never phoned for the results
don't think I'll bother now.

don't think I'll bother now. Well done, good to see someone else in the club!
We're off for an early scan next week to get an idea of age, plus the missus is worried that she'll be officially "old" at 38 when baby is born.
She's now in a bad way with morning sickness, not helped by me being away 4 days a week and a two yr old who thinks that every time someone lies down that they become a climbing frame!

Its like something from the Exorcist here with the amount of morning sickness. It's lasting all day too. I do feel sorry for her!
At a guess we have another 4/5 weeks till the first scan. Anything can happen in the meantime, so I am trying not to get too excited just yet.
Think positive. Sickness will disappear soon as well.At a guess we have another 4/5 weeks till the first scan. Anything can happen in the meantime, so I am trying not to get too excited just yet.

Congrats to you Kudos and S10 GTA! Best wishes for the coming months!
I really hope I don't cause any offence, but you should be aware that most people don't announce their good news for quite some time, usually until past the 13 weeks. Sadly, the first trimester is the time when a pregnancy can be lost.
It's unlikely to happen, but if the worst happens, having lots of people asking about the baby for months is distressing.
Sorry
Thanks for that....I really hope I don't cause any offence, but you should be aware that most people don't announce their good news for quite some time, usually until past the 13 weeks. Sadly, the first trimester is the time when a pregnancy can be lost.

Good luck with the scan fella
have been away for a while...
We had our 12 week scan apparently all good. Happy days on that front. As the missus will have turned (just) 38, she is classed as an older mother and therefore increased risk of Downs etc. She went for a private scan/test last week and just awaiting the blood test results. Bloody nerve-wracking. I think the average risk for a 38yr old is 1 in 300. Her risk score (from scan only) was 1 in 380, so marginally better. Won’t know until get the blood test results, and then it will only be an indicative result. We won’t know until junior makes an appearance.
I took my current 2yr old to the park on Sunday and ran into a friend of a friends husband. They have a downs baby, same age as mine and it nearly broke my heart.
Any more for anymore yet? Must be getting well into the 2013 due dates know?

Shes happy enough but I didnt want to say "what if it comes early?" as this will just give her something else to worry about...
I guess im curious to know how common it is for a baby to be a full month premature?
My first was 3 weeks early. In in a similar ish predicament as I'm a 1hr flight from the missus 4 days per week. Am not relishing the phone call to say get home in a hurry I guess im curious to know how common it is for a baby to be a full month premature?
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt!
The missus has been upstairs in bed for the last two hours with what she believes is early stage of labour! 4 weeks early!!
Num 1 was 3 weeks early, so not unheard of.
I've been given instructions to go and clean house as in laws will be over.
I was meant to be in Dubai this weekend watching the golf, good job I didn't go. #omem

So, after starting this thread back in April and looking forward to a new arrival in 2013, I'm afraid we didn't make it!
Kudos Jnr arrived on Mon evening in dramatic fashion - 1hr after going into labour and before the in laws could arrive to look after little ms kudos, kudos Jnr was born on our bathroom floor delivered by me!
mother and baby all good
To the perspective parents, enjoy the sleep while you can...
