Sorry, I know it's still ages away! This is my first baby and due date is Jan 3rd so I'll be pretty big at Christmas 😅 my family are just over an hour away, partner's family just under 2 hrs.. we don't have space to host everyone and don't expect that we would want to at that point!

Has anyone thought about their Christmas plans yet? My mum offered to come to us and suggested a meal out. Maybe it would be better to just have Christmas in November and have them all come to us for a lunch somewhere. Anyone got ideas?

I just found out I am pregnant a few days ago but have a really busy bank holiday weekend including a wedding and a bottomless brunch. I don't want to tell anyone yet but I will absolutely get questioned at the bottomless brunch about why I am not drinking. I don't think they will believe a diet or anything like that. I also am not driving and it's out of town so we are staying at a hotel and cant use that excuse! That leaves the classic "I'm on antibiotics" but I recently heard you actually can drink on some of them too! Anyone know an antibiotic for like an ear ache or something that does not pair well with alcohol please?? One of them is a pharmacist and another is a nurse so I feel like I need to have my story straight ahead of time! Thank you 😁

Hi, I just found out I'm pregnant 4 days ago, first time and totally new to all of this. I didn't realise due dates and weeks pregnant seem to be calculated from the first day of your last period. So although I only ovulated a little over 2 weeks ago, the app I downloaded is saying 4 weeks 1 day. So when people tend to wait until 12 weeks to announce is that actually waiting 10 weeks? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am just trying to wrap my head around it..

Also how are you all surviving that long as I am only on day 4 and I am bursting to tell people but also so scared!
