We've done it once since found out I was preg and it was so awkward as both not wanting to do "damage". My cervix easily gets knocked around during sex at the best of times and there's a slight chance my placenta is low down.

Anyway I definitely have been thinking OH is foxier than usual over past couple of months he also lost some weight as he started running in the new year. But he's been really put off sex due to baby. Normally we're a few times a week couple as long as schedule not too crazy.

I think I may invest in one of those Dream Genie pillows too. OH was snoring up a storm last night and I threw a proper tantrum in the bed, thrashing around like a 3 yr old - he didn't even wake up grrrr!

I also need to stop rolling on my back. When I'm on my back I can feel my pulse go really strong through my whole abdomen, it can't be good for long periods of time!

I've realised that I now can no longer see my nether regions. Bump is too much in the way. It's not that I want to be gazing down there or anything but it's a bit unnerving!

Sex has been ok with us! Wasn't great the first few weeks I found out I was pregnant as I was wrecked and felt nauseous most evenings. Has picked up a good bit since though.

Congrats to your SIL Javagirl!

I told my mum a girls name that I liked and she didn't like it but at the end of the day it's myself and the OH who make the decision. My mum likes to try and take over a bit!!

Ollie`s cool.
I`m now 99.9% on Benjamin, and i`m not that precious about it being shortened.
Am I the only one with a boy?
Brought my 2 kittens for the snip lately and turns out the boy is a girl so 2 girl kittens, I was in shock for 2 hours after, hopefully that doesn`t happen with my boy, it`d take some adjusting in my head....

Fri.day I posted my (almost) 21 week rum onto my shutterfly account.
I don't really know how to use shutterfly but I hope it worked.
I think it's something like www.shutterfly.lucey101 or something like that. I'm wearing a spotty top in the most recent one and my oh my how my ass has grown!

I've had sex once since I got pregnant (actually since the night babs happened!): was too sick for ages then I finally felt well enough and my doc sat me and my hubbie down and told us ""no intercourse." Alot. Like that bleeding for me ruined it anyway! Which sucks I might add... roll on after babs gets here!

I think I felt my first proper kick last night had hand on my belly and all...

Any of you that know the sex - was it a public appointment or did you go privately? Hoping they will tell me at my next scan, seems silly to pay so much if they will tell me anyway.

I think they would tell you at your scan if they can see it clearly. I don't see why they wouldn't .

They were telling me at my public scan except baby was positioned awkwardly and would not move... can't see why they wouldn't tell you!

Had to go for a private scan as my obs will NOT tell the gender. Learned my lesson asking on ds4!
Also cause I was scanned at 13w and he didn't want to see me till I'm 30w

Yep, my scan yesterday was a public scan. The midwife had no problem telling us. But before it I was thinking the same as you are now - wondering if they would tell us. Also, I drank a bottle of lucozade before it so she was kicking around. I've heard it gets the baby moving about and easier to tell the sex - dunno if that was the reason but she was moving around a lot!

Hello all,
I've been lurking for a little while and have tried to read most of the posts so far but decided it was about time I posted myself I hope I'm welcome at the half way point!
I am due on July 15th, it's our first and is suspected to be a girl (she wasn't being totally helpful during the scan) !
So far things have gone pretty smoothly for me (touching wood) & I have a right little kicker inside me who has discovered that my bladder works as a great pillow (not great for me) but love being able to feel her kicking/boxing away

Ya I`m public too and also had the Lucozade before I went in to get him up and dancing! For my 15 weeks scan he had his back turned so if it was the same at 20 weeks we wouldn`t have had any info
Hadn`t drank it in years but it was worth it..
The sonographer went through everything, head measurements, belly size, 4 chambers in the heart etc and never once brought up the question of sex.
I was getting a little downhearted so just spoke up and asked was it a pink/blue one.
She said they never offer til asked so as we asked she went straight to the area and pointed out the penis.

Yeah I think you def need to ask ours had her legs crossed & was doing a little jig but wasnt showing anything so he looked at her from a bum up angle...3 lines lean towards a girl (labia) & a little circle leans towards a boy (scrotum) There was 3 lines & no circle so he is leaning towards girl but will check again next time!
