Hi Bubie. Congratulations!!!

and you will be able to chat to lots and lots of other mummies due at the same time as you. It's a great place to chat, get info and support and just be around people who are going through what you're going through.

Good luck!

Hey Bubie welcome to OB

Totally understand the not jinxing it!! Its good to wait abit anyway so you don't buy everything that catches your eye lol baby shopping is so much fun but omg it gets expensive!!!

Check out the meet up threads too if you want to meet up with some other mums/mums to be in your area!

Hey there. This is my first time in Oh Baby. I'm a newbie too. Just found out yesterday that we're pregnant! Been trying for almost a year, so I'm SO thrilled. I couldn't quite believe it so I took like 2 tests and another one at the doctors.

Completely understand the whole jinxing thing...I'm only 5 weeks pregnant so we're not even telling family at the moment. It's nice though, having a little secret between my husband and me. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it all works out and we get our little bubba..healthy and happy!

i only bought one singlet and put in on my husbands side of the bed cos he didnt qquite believe it (we'd been trying for a while) other than that, as far as clothes and stuff we didnt buy anything else at all till afer 12 weeks becuase generally ppl end up with way too much stuff half of which never gets worn and its amazing how many people come out of the woodwork and give you heaps of stuff you werent expecting. a friend of our gave us ALL of her sons clothes till the age of 2!! i did however write lists and check out prices on cots and prams and look at stuff though. its too exciting not to and then you get a good idea of bargains and the coolest stuff :) good luck and congrats!!!

congrats and welcome..:) you wont be able to find out sex till 18-20 week scan so will be more like late oct/early nov for you!

Hi and Welcome

Bubie, there is an old wives tale that my mother always uses and it ALWAYS correct.

If you get a ring and a piece of thread to make a pendulum and get someone to hang it over your belly, depending on how it swings is supposed to say what the gender is.

So make sure it is still and steady to start off with and the person holding it has a steady hand.
If it swings back and forward it's a boy.
If it swings in a circle it's a girl.

It worked for me and was correct but remember it is only an old wives tale.

Sometimes it's just better to wait for your scan and find out. There are plenty of other things to do before the 20 week mark.

Welcome Bubie and Christine.

Bubie I don't think you will jinx it. I brought stuff early on I was so excited (and scared at the same time LOL)
