Hppy Mother's Day to all the US ladies. I hope you have had a lovely day whether you're mummies in training or already mummies

💝HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE! Hope you have a great day! 💐

Morning ladies hope all the us ladies had a lovely Mother's Day?

I still can't get my head around the fact I'm 15 weeks tomorrow?! Anyone else feel like time is flying? But then at the same time it seems really slow! I'm wishing time away until 24 weeks, it's a big milestone to hit, and I'm hoping I'll feel a little "safer".

I'm sorting through my crap in what will be the Nursery today at the moment it's my office/dumping ground! I'm thinking I'm going to have to be ruthless, but I'm a hoarder, and can't throw anything away! This should be an interesting day!

Hope everyone has a lovely day

I'm off work today with an upset tummy so still in bed chilling with the cat, laptop and rubbish daytime tv. Its bliss haha.

Zowiey I know what you mean about time flying but dragging too. The weeks seem to be going by quite slowly for me, but suddenly I am coming up to 14 weeks already. It's odd. Glad to be able to say I am 2nd trimester though (- 4days) as that feels so much safer. And the second tri forum is a lot less stressful to read. I had to stop reading the first tri forum as most of the posts were asking about bleeding and talking about miscarriage and I personally found it extra sressful, worrying and upsetting. Nice now to read 2nd tri forum and see lots of posts asking about movements and bumps and things instead.

I really hope that hasn't offended anyone on here. I know some of the ladies have had worries on here (me included at one point) and 1st tri is really stressful time but reading on here is ok as I know everyone, but I found it too much on tri1 forums when every second post is upsetting.

Happy Mother's day for yesterday to all our US ladies on here xx

Men are so stupid!!! I'm so ticked off right now. So we told my mom's parents and my stepdad's parents today. Oh and my stepdad. My mom already knew. That was fine and dandy and went well. We got home just in time for DD's bedtime. She co-sleeps so I lie down with her until she falls asleep. Ever since I got pregnant I've been falling asleep with her for a couple hours and tonight I woke up to a post on Facebook from my husband announcing the pregnancy! Are you serious!!?? I was not in any way ready to announce on Facebook. Yes , I'm 13 weeks so technically it should be okay but that isn't the point. It's Facebook! I haven't even told my dad yet! So now instead of being able to tell him in person, I had to send him a text and hope he sees that before my teenage half sisters or stepmom (who all live on FB) see it on there and tell him. That would crush him. And I wasn't ready to post on fb anyway! How does he think that telling a couple grandparents is the equivalent to telling the hundreds of acquaintances he has on fb. Oh and he's friended plenty of my friends who I also hadn't told yet so now they've not only not heard in person but they didn't even hear it from me! Ugh!!!! I'm so mad!!!!!

 

[zowiey]

Garden, I'd be pretty pissed too! I know they don't mean any harm, but I don't think men feel the same worry & anxiety as us. And also, they just don't bloody think!! Hopefully your Dad saw your msg first

My hubby told quite a few people when I was 9 weeks, I was not happy especially as it turned out those people blabbed to other friends, who were a little hurt we hadn't told them first

Miss K, I totally get what you mean. When I was spotting, I made myself worse by obsessively reading posts about m/c and bleeding. I don't for one minute think people shouldn't be able to post about it, I just search out the worst senario in every situation!

I've been watching Jeremy Kyle, god it's awful! But I can't stop watching it it makes me feel so much better about my life

 

[lovehearts]

Garden, I would be Pissed too, not fair of you hubby to do that without discussing with you too!

I did find first tri stressful too, second tri is a lot more relaxed which is what I needed after my bleed.

Just at soft play with my husband and son. I'm sat watching while hubby runs around like a nutter

Xx

Miss K I know what you mean about it being upsetting I stayed off here for a while and never post or even look in 1st tri because I was soo worried and it was stressing me out even mo reading about it!
Even more so as my baby was measuring 8 days smaller than my dates at 8 weeks so I was already panicking thankfully baby as caught up and now only 2 days behind but it's still upsetting to read about bad things when you already have the worry in your head!!

 

[Dazed125]

I completely agree Miss K, and congrats on second tri, hope you feel better soon

Hugs Garden, I'd be annoyed too, men just get over excited and don't think - like puppies!

I've just seen my dad, he's convinced I'm having a girl "because I'm carrying like mum did with me" ummmmm I haven't even got a bump yet!! bless him - he's super excited though which I love

 

[LoraLoo]

Sorry, I posted about 'bad things' a while back, if that upset anyone it wasn't my intention. Think I will just back away from this thread

 

[Dazed125]

This thread is completely different, here we are a group of friends looking to support each other. That's ups and downs, and never needing to say sorry to share your worries x

 

[teacup22]

Sorry, I posted about 'bad things' a while back, if that upset anyone it wasn't my intention. Think I will just back away from this thread

Don't be silly! We're here for support through good AND bad!
As much as I don't love to read about 'bad things' happening I know my fear is nothing compared to how that person is feeling
Only because I feel awful for them.

 

[miss_kseniya]

Nooooo Lora I didn't mean anyone in this thread hun at all. I even posted about my worries in here when I had a small bleed at 7 weeks because everyone here is so lovely and supportive. I just meant that for me personally, reading things when I am already a worry wart is the worst possible thing for me as it makes me worry more, so I avoided 1st tri forums as they tend to have lots of posts about people worrying. When I had a small bleed, I avoided any 1st tri posts about bleeding as I knew i would only worry more.

I just meant that its nice to be able to now post in tri 2 without being so stressed myself as the worrysome 1st tri is over and most of the posts in tri 2 are more positive. I'm sure tri 3 forums will bring its own worries for me again as labour approaches and most of the posts are about baby coming and becoming tired and uncomfortable.

I really didn't mean to offend anyone at all, sorry. Shall I edit my post?

 

[miss_kseniya]

Garden men are so frustrating sometimes aren't they! After my 7 week scan went well, my dad said "oh cool can i post it on facebook now". I was like noooooooooo!
I guess he's excited, although that doesn't excuse it without discussing it first and its a pain for you to have to let your dad know in the way you have to now. Men, rah!

 

[Angeltk42]

Garden I would be livid if I was you! It's awesome he is so excited but frustrating because now people are going to find out in a non-personal way.... Which is fine for acquaintances but those special people in your life would want to hear it in a more personal way.

Lora we support each other everyday with the good and the bad. Mrs k was referring to the endless post after post after post tragedy on first tri forum that makes us all loopy! I have never felt like this on that thread no matter what "bad thing" but when u read the endless posts in first tri about mc when u are in first tri you start to honk it's going to happen to you. Plus it's different here we ask each other questions we inform each other etc. half the time those first tri posts are vague and not so clear but bc we don't have a relationship with the person it's hard to ask for clarification. So please don't back away from the thread!!!! And don't limit your concerns in here because we support each other no matter what.

I've read over on Facebook you're having a terrible day so I'm going to put this post down to that and hope you know we are all here for you this thread is completely different to the first Tri posts, we are all in this together and here for each other

Lora, your situation is so unique no one here would compare it to the first trimester posts. I know what they are saying, but don't think you personally are upsetting anyone. We all love you here and the thread wouldn't be the same without you.
