I haven’t put anything on social media yet (22weeks now) and don’t think I’m going to. I think I’ll just keep my baby as a surprise then when I see people for the first time in ages I’ll be like oh this baby? Yeah that’s my sonI’m 18w and I’ve only really started telling people since we had the gender scanI feel so awkward and I cba to have the same conversation over and over. But my fella is really excited and wants to tell everyone so I’m trying to embrace that.
I’m not putting anything on social media till after the 20w scan but now I’m getting closer to that I might not bother and just announce the birth
yeah that is a really good plan I think!It's wierd isn't it. Younger me was desperate to splash news like this all over social media. Current me is far more picky about who knows what, and I almost feel protective over this news.
I might just do a big social media cull and then put a low key post up when we know the gender. But in the mean time only immediate family and close friends will be told.
Yes, you should call. Any change in movement. Let them decide if you need to be seen.I’m not sure whether I should be ringing the hospital to get checked or not or if this is normal at this stage? Baby is moving, not loads and not really kicking - im getting the odd kick but not regular kicks despite a cold drink and some haribo, but he is moving if I put something cold on my belly to encourage him to move. But whenever he does it’s SO painful. Right in the centre of my stomach below my belly button. I’m 30 weeks. Hasn’t been painful like this before except when he’s turned but he’s not turning. Not sure if it’s the position he’s in and the movement is pressing on something - how can I get him to change position to see? I feel like I’m wasting time or will seem like a wimp if I ring triage and say “baby IS moving, not loads but he is but it really hurts when he does”
Give them a ring, that's what they're there for. They'll be happy to help you, if nothing else, just to give you peace of mind.I’m not sure whether I should be ringing the hospital to get checked or not or if this is normal at this stage?

Hopefully they'll just say he's lying awkwardly and you've got a little pointy elbow or knee sticking in somewhere uncomfortableI did a bit of crawling on the floor to try and move him and he’s back to kicking and wriggling normally after several hours of not moving much. But it’s still SO painfulwondering if he’s been lying awkwardly and it’s just made something tender. It only hurts when he moves I’ll ring triage for advice but waiting for Mr R to check his phone and be on standby incase they want me in to be checked because last time I phoned them about bleeding then had to get hold of Mr R to come home to go in they told me off for taking so long to get there after calling
This was sooo me! When I first found out I wanted to tell everyone sooo bad it was constantly on the tip of my tongue, I’d have told the postman if he’d have cared!! But once it was ‘safe’ to tell I didn’t want to tell a soul. I don’t know why I just liked it being our little secret, and I found it somewhat awkward (for want of a better word..) I think by about 6 months I had eventually told everyoneI've been so excited to tell everyone, but as of tomorrow I'll have had my official scan with the NHS so will be at the point where it's 'safe' to tell people...but I've suddenly felt like I just want to keep it quiet, and the thought of actually saying it out loud to others makes me feel sick with nerves.
I'm sending a special scratch card thing to reveal it to my parents to be opened on mothers day, we live at the opposite end of the country so it's just not been possible to put a plan into action to tell them in person. But I know I can't keep it quiet past this weekend as our March is very busy with social events and how many times can a rum loving girl say she's driving?!
I told mine as soon as I found out for risk assessment purposes. If you are in a job where you won’t need one you could wait a couple of weeks but it’s probably best to just tell them. Are you on a probation period or is it a permanent contract?Hey everyone, does anyone have any good tips about telling employers? I’ve just started a new job and feel sick about telling them. I’m 18weeks so running out of time!
