Congratulations! If I’m honest I think you’d struggle!!! Even if you’re a great actress, discussing things like names/nursery themes/looking at clothes etc you’d naturally be drawn to the one you know you’re having if that makes sense! And I imagine it’d be difficult not to refer to baby as he or she. But if you think you can then go for it! And report back as we may have this issue next time
Haha I have honestly got 0 clue what we will end up doing! We are both pretty sure it’s a she anyway. Don’t ask how but we both get the feeling. And I’ve been 12 week nub theorying away and I reckon it’s a gal in there. But we will see! I just don’t think I can wait til June to find out what they areCongratulations!

No advice personally but my mum and dad were in this situation when they had me. My mum found out and my dad didn’t. I have no idea how she did it but it was a surprise for my dad when I was born! It is do-able but must be super hard not to tell. My partner’s parents don’t want to know and I’ve already almost let it slip to them by accident and we only see them once a month ish
I'm 8 weeks now but my 3 year old told everyone when I was about 5 weeks
I didn't mind him telling his grandparents because we'd want the support if anything goes wrong but he's told his nursery teachers and all of his friends
I have to tell work asap because of what I do my role has to change slightly and I need time off for appointments. I've only told my manager and the health and safety person though. I think
Congratulations!
We're not telling anyone else and even though we don't see or speak to family all that often, it's quite heard not to accidentally let it slip 
Good luck though 
there was a couple of family members who didn’t want to know but my brother let slip to them saying “it’ll be nice having a boy in the family this time for a change” so I’d personally never manage it but I’m sure some could!yes! I’m about a week ahead and the wait is killing me. My partner is the only person who knows but I had to tell the dentist and it just felt weird them congratulating me.Anyone else really early on into pregnancy about to combust thinking about all the waiting you have to do?
I am not even at 5 weeks yet so I’m guarded about telling everyone and feeling I can relax a bit more and be more open about telling people feels like such a long way off.
it feels like such a lot of information to hold and deal with currently
Let us know how you get on today!
I had a private one at exactly 6 weeks.
agree with spoiler text. I went at 8 weeks and I was only six weeks so only just had a heartbeat present.From personal experience it’s best to wait for a scan until you’re eight weeks if you can. If you’re six weeks and you’ve got your dates slightly wrong (especially if you weren’t tracking ovulation) and it’s still too early for a heartbeat you then have an agonising wait of a week or even two weeks to see if the heartbeat is there. Whereas if you go at eight then even if your dates are a week out a heartbeat should still be present
We’ve chosen a nursery for our little man! Booked til September 2024 but thankfully I am lucky enough to be taking a year’s mat leave so can enroll him for March 2025. Can’t believe how broke we’re going to be til he gets his free childcare hours aged 3 but it already feels so worth it
I totally understand that, it's a nightmare isn't it. My tummy was covered in huge purple ones but after a year or so they faded to a silver white colour, and it really doesn't look half as bad as it did
10 weeks, thinking i was 13 wks...it was still a great scan but i had to go back as they wanted to get a better look at baby's head to see the butterfly shape development?? Basically to see if brain is developing as they couldnt get a proper look at 10 weeks but still got great images of the baby
I guess the appointments will be more regular now5 weeks 5 days, I thought i was gone 6 weeks at least. It was at the EPU for a bleed. Seen a heartbeat though which was nice
I’ve had both. 35 and never had a flu jab before but had this one as I thought I don’t want to be really poorly. Whooping cough is because for the first 8 weeks baby isn’t protected but if you have yours they get some protection. My understanding is there has been some uplift in the amount of whooping cough cases in small babies. I didn’t elect to have another Covid booster though.
and she’s looking well. Lots of monitoring too.
