October/November Conkers 2021***

Very boy heavy. We're finding out on Wednesday at a private gender scan. Have 2 boys already and would love a girl as this is most definitely our last. Dont think we're capable of making girls though!

I think because I'm gonna be induced 3 weeks early I'm at my half way point I have my 20 week scan in just over 2 weeks, so hopefully all still looks good then, I have brought a few bits for baby xx

@topazicatzbet congrats on your sweet baby boy! I always love scan pics at this age. You chose a beautiful name

@daniyaaq my scan is next Friday! So if we do find out it will be less than a week. If I had to pick I’d say boy... I’d feel shocked if it was a girl!

@topazicatzbet i love that name!

@playgirl666 crazy you could be half way! What have you bought?

@sadeyedlady not long then! Exciting! Do you have a feeling what team your on?

what if we are all team blue in October!!!!!!!

My babies are always born with lots of hair but I’ve actually never had heartburn with any of them! Here is DS1, DS2, and DD all within the first 48 hours of birth.

@Mummy2Corban I'm feeling boy. Pregnancy has been identical to the previous 2 and carrying the same

Well we are team again and I'm actually feel fine about it.

He was wriggling around and waving and kicking my bladder. Measuring bang on and looking perfect. We got to see him in 4d too but no pics. He looks so cute.

Congrats! Love his name with my daughter her name stuck from the day of the gender scan. I have just booked our private gender scan for 2nd June, can't believe I will know that in just over 2 weeks! Need to get thinking of names, at the moment I am struggling for boys names big time, Evie for a girl has stood out from the start though, but we haven't discussed it much recently. May do a shortlist of top 5 boy and girl names get my partner to do the same, see if we can match up on any haha x

@sil look at your babies! So so cute! Lots of beautiful hair!

@sadeyedlady that’s what I’d say with this one. I feel like it’s been more similar to my boys!

@soloso not long for you to find out either! 2nd June is my littlest mans birthday! I do love the name Evie. I’ve stopped thinking about names until we know. I looked a few weeks back but just couldn’t find any that really stood out. I find me and DH just cancel each other out on names!

I have brought a mammaroo, some bottles and some clothing xx

@playgirl666 one of those fancy baby chairs that moves around?

So so glad you can feel alright with it. You are a true boy mom wow!! Congrats!!

@daniyaaq we find out st anatomy scan on June 18. A long time!

I kinda have the same feeling as @sadeyedlady, that we only make girls so I think it’s probably a girl again. Not mad about that as it would make life easier. I will be happy and surprised it it’s a boy too. With the odds here I really think it’s a girl.

Ugh I’ve been putting off getting my glucose meter and now I’m really starting to worry about my blood sugar. I read that early high blood sugars can cause birth defects and I’m scared of that. I should’ve started taking them weeks ago and eating a low carb diet. But with the morning sickness some of the stuff that was helping the nausea would’ve been really carb heavy

@Mummy2Corban
I don't don't do it anymore hon.
I still cut the kids hair and anyone I know if they need a haircut I will do it.
Not long now until ure scan hon so exciting.


@daniyaaq
I'm in the south west of England UK.
So we are just going into summer.
Our summers can get hot but normally range around 22 to 24c but we can get heat up to 35c but that doesn't always happen.
We had a few days in early August last year that reached 32c and it was horrible.
But thankfully only lasted a few days.
Normally June and July are very warm but not everyday somedays it can still get a bit chilly.
Normally August is a funny month. We can get warm days but also very wet rainy days and the evenings become much cooler. Very stormy normally in August.
September can be touch and go as well. Sometimes it can be nice, but the last few years autumn has been kicking in in September.
I love being pregnant in summer and showing off my bump. Hated winter and having to hide my bump.
It gets bitterly cold here in the winter.

May is Normally when our weather gets nice and warm but it's been very rainy so far.
Can't wait for Warmer weather and being able to wear my maternity shorts and dresses.


@topazicatzbet
Congratulations on team blue hon. Loving the name.
I'm still sticking with Harley as a name for this one.
I do love the name Toby and also Albie too but DH is not so keen.
I love the name Ralphy but DH hates it.
Still can't believe DH chose Harley it's so out there for him. He named our youngest son too. Tommy-Jay.

How exciting can't wait to find out what ure having eeeeeeek.


21 weeks today. 16 weeks until 37 weeks and possibly induction day.
Will get my induction date around 35 weeks. But it's already in the plan for 37 weeks.

We haven't brought anything yet. Only a steriliser.
I haven't announced on social media yet either but as soon as I get to 24 weeks it's all systems go.

I never feel comfortable buying b4 then. I always wait for Vday.

Can't wait to hit 24 weeks.
3 more weeks and counting

We announced the gender this afternoon. We won't need to buy much as I kept all the clothes from ds3. We will just need some more trousers and jumpers with him being a winter baby and ds 2 and 3 were summer babies.

Hey everyone mind if I join? I have been on here for awhile but I thought we were done lol just about finished bf my 1yo and so decided to get on birth control went to the doctor had a positive pregnancy test oops lol so she ordered a scan for later that day since I hadn't had a period in a few months and found out I was about 14weeks 2 days and could already see it was a boy omg! I am now almost 17 weeks! This will be baby number 8 but 7th boy my daughter was not very pleased with us but they are all so excited to have a baby again! They're ages are 18,15,14,10,6,2.5 and 1. I am due October 24th

Wow congratulations and welcome

@Reiko_ctu thats the problem with 1st tri when you have awful sickness you just don’t care what you eat as you just wanna feel ok. I feel like I just ate rubbish. Hopefully that’s not the case. Maybe if your concerned it might be a good idea to get a meter so you can keep an eye!

@Suggerhoney bet it’s handy being a hairdresser being able to cut the kiddies hair and stuff. I love your name choice but also think Albie and Ralphy are cute. 3 weeks till you can full on relax!

@topazicatzbet what an amazing announcement! I love it!

@Katiedw21 wow!!! What a story!!!! Congratulations and hey! I mean of course you can join.... just adding another blue one to our already very blue thread! Hahaha!

I did pick up a meter this afternoon after work. Now just to get past the anxiety of using it... I’m always so nervous of what the results will be, ignorance is bliss.

I have felt a few niggles from baby so that’s reassuring. Just have to wait so long for the anatomy scan to see all the right parts etc. With the lesser care we’re getting cause of Covid I’m getting more nervous compared to any of my previous babies. The tech at my 9 week scan said everything looked perfectly healthy at that point but there’s still a few things to develop in the few weeks after that so hopefully my blood sugars were good enough at that point it didn’t do any damage.

Is anything improving for you today?
