Anyone know how long im going to have to wait for my 20 week scan appointment to come through? Been 2 weeks since my 12 week scan amd they sent that out really quickly after my booking appointment. I just want to know a date so I can get excited?!

I booked mine at the desk after my 12 week scan. I'd ring and ask

 

[mellie_88]

They said it would come through the post. Which is annoying loads of people seem to get to book them at 12 week
You think that would make more sense.

I checked about my 20wk scan today at my 16wk midwife appt and she said it will be sent out in the post... Would quite like it now though!

 

[chazhavnfun]

I got mine at my early pregnancy scan at 10 weeks. Xx

 

[Toffeegirl]

My Date had changed to the 25th Nov can you please change my date
My Gender scan is on the 11th July

 

[mellie_88]

Oh no I dont want to have to wait another 3 weeks or so for it to come through. How annoying.

 

[chazhavnfun]

I cannot believe we find out the gender on Sunday. I'm far to excited. We are going to ikea tomorrow for a nose about we have a lot to do in the house before baby comes. The cowboys have finally finished although the plasterer won't be out till Monday now.

I had my 12 week scan last Friday and got my 20 week appointment through the post yesterday for 1st July, so hopeful yours will come through soon x

Feel like I'm gonna explode in a minute! Mother in law is grinding on me yet again!

Every where hubby goes - she follows. I found a free site that had some baby boys clothes on so I asked him to go and collect them whilst I make tea - she piped up oh I'll come with! I also told her id break her fingers if she noseys in the bag (the other day we went baby shopping but hubby had to drop me off at home to go and eat something as I was at the point of passing out, he had to nip back out to boots but our little girl was fast asleep in the car so he asked his mum just to sit in the passenger seat whilst he nipped in boots - before he's even shut the door she's leaning through the back to nosey at what baby bits we bought)

Anyway so when hubby arrived home I was cooking and he brought the baby bits in to have a look at and what a surprise she was there "oh nana wants to come see"

My hubby's just got a bit of work with his uncle for a few hours just to help with baby stuff and she's telling him leave his car at home and she will drop him off.. But what use is that to me if I go in labour?

My dad was supposed to be more involved in this pregnancy but I feel he's being pushed out

She got told I was pregnant before my dad, she got to see 12 week scan first and we decided to have a private gender scan so my dad could come and see baby without missing a day off work and be more involved - hubby invited her as well!

Then hubby can't make it to 20 week scan so I've asked his mum to drop me at hosp and I'll go on my own - straight away she replies does that mean I get to see my grandson"? No it bloody doesn't!!!!

You would think she's never had kids or grand kids the way she goes on! She was never this bad with my daughter so I dread to think what she's gonna be like when he arrives

 

[mellie_88]

Is your hubby and his mom really close then? I invited my mom to my 12 week scan however my mom asked my OH about 5 times if he was ok with her coming too as she didn't want to intrude.

Can you not have a quiet word with your hubby and see if he can kind of see your side of things?

At least she's excited and helpful about baby, just trying to find the good points for you to think of.

Hope she gets a little better, its always horrible when its not your own family and you cant tell them to leave you alone!

 

[katiee24]

Yes they are extremely close! He isn't as clingy to her now that were married etc but unfortunately she doesn't leave him alone.. He will go out and she will text him like "where are you going? What are you doing? Then it's can you ring these place for me.. Do this etc etc I told him he needs to make her more independent and he try's but then she makes up excuses as to why she can't ring places :-/

I told hubby about everything especially the scan and he said he will talk to her.. She got to come to scans in my last pregnancy so we decided to let my dad this time but didn't quiet go to plan!

Once my daughter was born she was constantly telling me what to do and not what to do & then coming round (she lives next door) and butting in when the health visitor came etc.. 1 point we took our daughter to his brothers school as the teachers were excited to see her but his mum took over the pram and hubby stood next to her and I was pushed to the back whilst they were introducing my daughter :-/

 

[chazhavnfun]

Katie I couldn't handle that Hun. I hope she backs of soon. Especially with the baby stuff and being nosey. Let's hope she's as keen when it comes to child minding lol.
Xxx

I am staying team yellow so would love a little yellow stalk please

 

[katiee24]

Oh that's the thing chaz she always pulled her face if we ever asked her to look after myah.. We went Xmas shopping once and I come back to her mate being here and myah in a stinky nappy! She never bloody noticed!

Just like today I told her I wasn't well so no visiting.. She text my hubby a few hours later asking him to nip round as there was a buzzing in her house.. Whilst he's there he asked whether she had been round today (he was out this morning so he didn't know) but she never mentioned me not being well and said oh I'll pop round in a minute! And he always told her for mithering about the 20 week scan.. He told her I'm taking a friend and that she's already been to a scan so there's no need and all she said oh I didn't know she was taking someone else! I didn't know I had to tell her my every bloody move? So anyway even though I'd said no about her visiting today she went behind my back to hubby! So I wasn't to pleased when she showed her face.. I stayed in the kitchen cleaning up then I went in to ask hubby if I could get a hat off eBay with our sons name on.. Straight away she buts in and says "I thought I was buying them"? So I just said does it really matter who buys them and she said I'm in a "nasty mood today" do you blame me? Every time I ask my hubby for something or remind him she always has to have a say! then she notices some scratches on my daughter and try's to tell me it's chicken pox then pulled her face when me and hubby told her it's not!

Because she takes a lot of tablets and has health issues I won't be asking for any help from her thankfully! I just hope she isn't around here for hours when the little one is born!

 

[mellie_88]

Oh god she really does sound awful, I don't know how you put up with it. She must not be very good at ready signals, voice tone etc as I cant imagine you always have a happy cheerful face on with her. Would have thought she'd realise she might be over stepping a little.

If she has the guts to say you're in a nasty mood your reply should be I was perfectly happy until you came round again!

 

[katiee24]

I honestly don't have a problem telling her where to go! She really doesn't see that me, hubby, myah and our boy are our own family and she's not close close family if you know what I mean? If we wanna go out and do our own thing we can do but we always have her texting with the "what you doing etc" or mithering us to take her younger son with us. She's the worst at Xmas!

Oh she told me I'm much more moody in this pregnancy also! I feel I can't say anything though as it's not fair on hubby! He shouldn't have to listen to us moan at him for one another and if I tell his mum off I guarantee I'd get it in the neck for saying something in a bad tone whilst she's ill and upsetting her!

And if I say anything whilst she's here and hubby's here she will look at hubby with a sad face as if it to say what have I done wrong? She never knows when it's to much! I'd could get her round here and have it out with her and she will promise she will change and next minute she's at it again!

 

[claire_louise9]

I couldn't put up with that Katie,in would go insane .I don't think I could live next door to my in laws. Couldn't you move further away from her?

Yeah, and not tell her the new address!

 

[chazhavnfun]

Lol sounds like a plan Clair and juicy lol.
My little sister can be like that with mine and my other sisters oh. Her man works away on rigs and she's always phoning texting our partners with problems. The worst was at 12 at night my husband was on nightshirt and got a call with her sobbing that there was a bee in her room and she couldn't find it and was scaired. She ended up phoning my other sisters partner and he actually went down to her house (about a 10 min drive) to get the bee from her room but it turned out she had already hit it and it was dead under her bed. We don't mind helping out with rubbish tip runs and such but silly things like that are annoying.
I hope it sorts it's self out your a braver woman than me cause I'd lock all the doors and windows and pretend I've moved lol.
