OMFG. I thought I was TOO COOL to get sucked into endlessly discussing pregnancy and childbirth BUT I'M NOT waaaaaaaaaaaaah

[MamaG]

Tis my third baby

Others were PMN*

I find myself reading pg and childbirth threads - and baby names threads

I'm becoming obsessed and thought I was waaay too cool for that malarkey

Oh well, at least I haven't joined an ante natal thread

*pre Mumsnet

[constancereader]

ooh - me too. My first ds was PMN.
I was very judgy when baby names appeared, and now I find myself POSTING.

[bobsmum]

Me too - on no 3 (due in a week or so)

Ds was 8 months by the time I started posting regularly and I was in the middle of moving house with dd.

Baby names threads are my secret vice - always feel a bit soiled afterwards

[MrsBadger]

the antenatal threads are worth dipping in and out of if only so you find out which other oldies MNers are due at the same time

[belgo]

I know the feeling MamaG.

[lulumama]

[Purlease]

Hey MamaG, there are loads of people due in November - apparently

[MamaG]

Glad to see I'm not alone!

[spudmasher]

Oh many congratulations MamaG. I had no idea. Relax and enjoy your obsessions with such things as it is exclusive and transient therefore precious.Enjoy....

[ladytophamhatt]

I got 2 PMN babies and 2 MN babies.

I much prefer the MN pregnancies, all these lovely sympathetic mums to come and ease your worries and woes.

[whomovedmychocolate]

Ah MamaG I'm sorry but every time I see your name I think of the tick you had and smile. So it's nice to see you commenting on something other than crawly things

[MamaG]

I'll never forget that tick

Yes, I'll be glad of the support if I'm worried about anything, I'm sure.

Ta spud

My boobies HURT this time round and I'm supposedly only 11 weeks and quite bumpy already.

[MamaG]

ooooh I'm 11 weeks tomorrow expat! I can feel a definite bump (is this your 3rd too?) but luckly my boobs have just stopped hurting

[expatinscotland]

scan showed 9 weeks a fortnight ago today, but nuchal scan is next week so they'll be able to tell better with that.

i'm not 100% sure as had the one cycle after ERPC, but it was a loooonnng cycle.

my boobs were veiny with DD2, but this time, they're really veiny.

now i remember how i started leaking even before she was born!

[MamaG]

oh God mine look like a road map! niiiice

[expatinscotland]

i'd leak and leak.

but the MNers were right, i had a stonking supply!

[ladytophamhatt]

it it twins the mamaG?

I missed the update?

[MamaG]

I didn't leak before mine, just had HUMUNGUS norks

[MamaG]

hehe noooooooo twins - just the one in there thankfully (have scan to prove it!)

[expatinscotland]

i never got huge tits.

they went down a cup size after i weaned DD2.

i blame hunker and mears .

[Oblomov]

I only joined Mn when ds was a few months old. So have never been part of ante before. God, I am shocked , I can't seem to post enough.

[NorthernLurker]

I joined when dd3 was afew months old as well having been lurking for a yearsome time before that. I think the whole ante-natal/post-natal threads thing is just brilliant. It's so reassuring and rewarding to share your journey with others a bit like you - you all have the babies in common

[Oblomov]

Expat, MamaG, what is your due date ?

[dewmeadow]

congrats ladies!!

Expat - my no3, I definitely was a wee bit bumpy around 8or 9 weeks.

Im still broody, and as you can see, lurking on many baby threads. How sad is that?

[expatinscotland]

31 October, Ob.

How's YOU, btw??!!!
