Imagine the panic!

[HeyWayne]

Took a call from my mum last week, just chatting about various bits and bobs - then at the end of the conversation she said, oh, by the way, did you know Leanne's (my cousin) pregnant?

I didn't.

"Guess the due date"

"I can't, when?"

"December 22nd"

She found out on the 1st.

3 weeks to organise what took us 6 months!!

I can't imagine the panic!

Must have come as a surprise

[HeyWayne]

Must have come as a surprise

Given she didn't think she could have them, and was taking "medicinal contraception"....

Yes.

[Fruit&2veg]

Blimey-Talk about panic stations, bad enough when you have months to organise- But congratultions and hope all goes smoothly!

[Florence Fennel]

I bet she's absolutely thrilled as I assume you all are. Congratulations, I'm sure everything will be ready in time.

[HeyWayne]

Not sure - haven't managed to speak to her yet. I understand she's a bit embarrassed, but I'm certain the scan photos have sorted that out.

I know my auntie is knitting like mad!

Why embarassed Wayne?

[HeyWayne]

Why embarassed Wayne?

For not noticing sooner I think. She's been on a diet, and everyone close to her just thought she was struggling to shed weight. A friend asked if she was sure she wasn't pregnant - which upset her. However, it did prompt her to get a test. The rest as they say...

[FionaH]

eeek! what a shock for her. Congrats anyway!

[Glutton4...]

Oooooops!

[shirlthegirl43]

mind you it sure beats all that hanging about waiting malarkey! (only joking, I am glad I had time to prepare mentally for parenthood)

[Jax]

Oh blimey! well congratulations. I hope that she gets everything in place in time

[Newbie]

Crikey! I bet that was a shock - a lovely one though! These people who have babies at Christmas eh?!

[northepaul]

Thats fantastic news for your cousin though!! Esp. if she thought she couldnt have any!!
gOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!
My gran had the same thing when she was pregnant with my aunt - no idea until she was 7 months gone that she was in the family way!!

How exciting to have your life completely turn around within weeks. I'm sure it will be a blessing.
