Welcome to the site and congratulations on your pregnancy! Do you know if you're having a boy or a girl?

I'm Louise, I'm 32 and live in Westcliff. I have two kids, Felix who is 3 and Iris who is 21 months. We're currently trying for number three.

Hiya ladies

Thanx for your posts, making me feel very welcome :-)

@sheeina - where and what time is are the meet ups you mentioned? I'm still at work so can't do anything during the day until I go on Mat leave but maybe I could try to get some time for the next week...

@weezypops - we went for 20 week scan last week and they said it's a girl. We have to go back again next week cos she was sitting in a way that the sonographer couldn't see everything so it's a stubborn little girl it seems, ha ha.
Good luck with trying for Number 3 - you must have the patience of a saint.

Hi All

Thanx for all your replies - you are all very welcoming :-)

Second scan went very well, everything's in place and baby seems happy and healthy so v happy with that!

Have any of you been for that internal scan that measures the lenght of cervix to check for pre-term delivery and pre-eclampsia? Just wondering if this something to take hubby along to...? Do you actually get to see the baby or shall I just leave at home?

K xx
