Hello,

bub number 2 due 27th March next year, but no doubt it will be late likes DS so lets say April

Just popping in 'cause I don't have time to maintain a proper belly buddies thread, and felt the need to post.

Alimoy, I agree, and probably guilty myself as humans we generally like to swing the conversation back to ourselves in some way.

Cheezle, - welcome to your first pregnancy, where everyone has an opinion and you start to judge your inlaws in a different light. probably best to go out and get the t shirt saying don't touch my belly now, 'cause apparently when it sticks more than about 3 cm from normal it's free game for anyone to touch, like your a lucky budda or something

Heavenly: Congratulation I don't alway agree with things other people do in regard to how many kids, how young they have them etc etc, but I could never be disappointed for someone. Maybe it's jealousy. When you tell them, just hold your head up high and show them you don't care what they think.

Cass, lol You be excited from day dot hun! I never tell anyone till about 13 weeks, 'cause I persona;;y don't want to deal with anyone if something 'heaven forbid' went wrong, but it's so hard not to share, 'cause you just want to jump out of your skin with excitment. That is where BB comes in. Plus I also like everyone to go really? you kept that a secret. Funily enough my boss always figures it out but my mum doesn't, go figure

Teagz: I'm there with you, I have made it clear in no uncertain terms I don't believe in baby brain, i think the same thing happens when your exhausted for other reasons. I had more baby brain after DS arrived than before, so far this time I keep catching myself out before I bugger it up, went to put vegies in the bin tonight instead of the fridge.

ttcanxiety: lol I think people know better than to ask me that, I think a good responce was, why yes would you like to know the exact day conception occured, and maybe explain to them how fertility charting works. Funny thing is that my bosses wife is due like almost exactly the same day as me, and now I have way too much insight into his sex life!!!

Linzy on the names, I'm currently waiting for a friend to have her bub, absolutley petrified she might choose the name I want, eek, I've gotten passed one friends bub a couple of weeks ago unscathed, one more to go, fingers crossed she doesn't use one of my names. I picked them like 8 years ago, and I'm set on them, got number 1 right, hope i'm not too dissapointed if i don't get the 2 boys & 1 girl I've always wanted :}

now onto me, I have a conundrum, I'm approx 19 weeks, and will be going public, and I have to decide in the next week or so if I want to go all antenatal clinic at the hospital or if I want to do shared care with my GP.
I'm in a different position than I was with DS, I hated my doctor at the time, and went with just the clinic and was very happy, (except for the waiting) But this time I am thinking of shared care, cons are that it will cost me more $$ and I don't think they will use a dopler so I want hear bubs heart beat each visit. but the pros are that I like this doctor, there should be less waiting for the appointments, he's great with Kids, has an ob certificate on the wall (yet he isn't practising), great bed side manner and most importantly I think he's a hotty. I'm also wondering if I should do shared care to build up the raport with him because I feel like I have finally found a great GP!

Well ahppy & health PG to everyone, you are all great mums!
