We never came up with any cute nicknames and I was feeling a little guilty about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus/page/2#post-985182 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:48:18 +0000 littlebittyhouse 985182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: my mom calls me dot &lt;3</p> <p>we called LO 'nug' and still do although now its usually snug because he is such a cuddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus/page/2#post-985159 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:39:25 +0000 MrsTiz 985159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Baby or his name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus/page/2#post-985151 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 13:37:45 +0000 Vegmama 985151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call it 'Baby' ... or 'It'.

On his FB announcement he even wrote that [I] had a parasite inside of me that would exit the body naturally sometime in early August, and then included a screen cap from the scene in Alien(s?) where the alien is popping out of the guy's chest....</p> <p>Otherwise, we called him by whatever fruit/veg he was that week "the sweet pea, the blueberry, the lemon" etc. For a bit he was Frances (we were TG), then McBaby, and finally we settled on McBebe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus/page/2#post-960071 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:53:08 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 960071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call it Stormy/Stormageddon/Little Stormy, haha. 5 points for who gets the reference!

My mother didn't like the nickname (because of the association with cancer), so she's taken to calling it Lumpkin instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus/page/2#post-958887 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:45:11 +0000 BlueWolverine 958887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BGW but prondounced BGDub </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus/page/2#post-958886 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:45:08 +0000 anbanan15 958886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: DH refers to "the baby" as a parasite too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus#post-958878 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:44:21 +0000 anbanan15 958878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus#post-958868 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:42:35 +0000 MrsH 958868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby, nugget, t-Rex back when it had a huge head and tiny arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus#post-958831 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:35:12 +0000 mrsjyw 958831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>called him bean in the beginning, then baby bear after we found out he was a boy. we still call him that :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-your-fetus#post-958830 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:34:32 +0000 kjpugs 958830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby or beebee and now baby girl or beeeeebeeeeeegirlllllllllll!
