thanks serina- its pretty new to me.I agree you look very pregnant probaby because u are, ur kids look lush too

Kathy dont know what to say but more

hey Gail hope your well and nice to see u.


Im going now going to try and do some college work

 

[ClaireyF]

Hi Gail, how was your trip to Wales?

Serina, i think you make your self look pregnant, or atleast your husband does also enjoy your scan later

I keep forgetting its public forum aswell! although i can't imagine someone sitting there and reading through it all and remembering it!

Cath, i think i'm going to try a water birth and maybe gas, i really don't know though and will just go withthe flow.

Kathy go get some sleep xxx

hmmm.. pondering it... just last time I was laying in bed for an hour... then got back up. I took a late nap, bet that was what made my internal clock a bit off... anyhow... nice being on UK time... maybe should move over there seems to be my time zone!

Hi Claire, Hi Cath,
I am well ta. Trip to Wales was fine ta - the Friday was a completely perfect sunny day. It's even better coming home because my OH misses me and I get the red carpet treatment! Bump is getting loads bigger now.
Cath - on the birth stuff I read a really good book on active birth - don't know if this is all standard stuff now - but I was completely convinced by it.

Jue: I wanted a response from you! I was too hoping I WAS NOT ALONE! Sadly I wish neither of us felt this way

Wonder how the mothers of like 18 kids feel.... do they feel anymore after 10? I have to ask my MIL when she comes to stay for a little bit if the red tape lets her come from Cuba (have to be 70+ years old to apply to come). Anyhow she had nine kids...sure she would know!

No hun your deffo not alone on this one ... maybe its the fact that were running round after all the other kids all the time that makes it harder (any excuse other than age )
But no this one is 10x harder than the others were
(a few houses near me for sale to if you fancy it )

anyone else thought of their bith plan, plain relief etc?

Easy for me (fingers crossed)

Home Birth ....TENS machine ...may have gas and air there but it didn't work last time (connections were broke so it kept leaking) so its not worth the hassle!



Serina not long now hun, enjoy it xxxx .. im off to Tesco in a mo to look for your mag

Gail good to see you back hun, glad you had a good time, looking forwards to seeing the bump pic xxxx

good luck serina

Hiya everyone, sorry I haven't been on here often since I arrived back in Cyprus. I have missed loads and it would take me forever to read through all I have missed, sorry!
Anyway I had my second scan last week at 21+1 and baby seems fine which is great
I don't want to bore you to death but the last couple of days I have felt so depressed all I want to do is cry! I'm feeling sorry for myself which is dreadful, I know, I should count my blessings.
I think it's because it's rarely that mine & OH family or close friends ask me how i'm doing. My sis is due 6wks after me, which i'm pleased for them, ofcourse, but i'm scared I will just get overlooked now.
Even when me and OH went out on sat night for a few hrs with a couple we know, they didn't even ask me once how i'm doing or what we got upto in the uk for our holiday or what we bought for the baby. They are expecting also and the conversation was just about them all night, for 3hrs! It got to me in the end.
I rarely hear from my dad, and my mum is unwell so it's hard sometimes.
I guess i'm feeling lonely.

Hope you all have a nice day x

 

[Cariad_bach]

Aww Hayley hun
It isnt easy i know when you have pregnant family members, that is something i can relate to, my sis is having her first LO 2 weeks before im due and because ive done it sooo many times lol and its her first then thats all anyone talks about.
I dont mind most of the time but sometimes it gets me down ... it sounds like the couple you went out with were a bit selfish .. its terrible bad manners if nothing else
Im sorry to hear about your mum to hun, hope shes better soon.
Im glad the scan went well tho hun
If you want to moan then go ahead hun

 

[ClaireyF]

Hayley moan all you like!! A friend of mine is pregnant and i always ask how shes getting on etc and not once has she asked about me it makes me wonder why i bother!! i don't know if she just assumes because ours was planned that everything is just going well, hers was very much unplanned. i don't know... Hope your mum feels better soon hun. xxx

 

[mrsholmes]

hey Hayley,

I dont know what to say, my OH sister is pg and I think he maybe feeling alttle like you, dont feel bad its normal if you feel lonely we are always here. Really glad your scan went well and wont be long and you'll have a LO.

Jue/Claire- I was thinking just gasnair and poss water birth, but when people ask me inc mw's they think ive gone mad! all i hear are comment like ' say you dont know' and ' you can tell its your first' but I really dont know a epidural as the thought of messing with my spine freaks me out and I dont fancy being off my face on pethidine!
Does it really hurt that much!?!

 

[Cariad_bach]

Cath NO it doesn't ...not unless there a prob.

If babies stuck or theres some other prob like your back to back etc then it will hurt more and you may need more help..

..if all is just, well 'normal' then Gas and Air will be fine ...and a water birth will help to.
It will hurt a bit ...maybe stings a better word, but all the women you hear of screaming etc .... well its the adrenaline that makes you do that not pain.

Im a wimp, very low pain threshold trust me and im looking forwards to it .... dont let people put you off, i dont know why some people find it funny to scare others ... its like when the kids are going for there injections and OH tells them it will hurt (idiot!)

You can change your mind anyway hun so you go ahead and plan for doing it the natural way and tell everyone else to stick it xxxx

 

[bugalugs]

Thanks Jue it is getting me down. Had a cry when I read your reply.
I think it's cos my dad isn't my blood father but is my sisters, he treats us both the same, she doesn't hear from him much either lol.
We have said to each other we must stick together but our relationship has been strained lately, I don't know why. I don't hear from her often and I miss her.
Our mum has suffered from a mental illness the past 25 yrs so it gets difficult not having her around as such, but we're used to it, it's sad for her.
Thankyou for your support though it really means a lot to me xxx

 

[ClaireyF]

i dont like the thought of epidural either and the thought of a c-sect freaked me out at first but now i'm feeling much calmer. Just wondered...if both DH and I were born by C sect...does that increase the chance that i have Josh by C sect? xx

 

[mrsholmes]

PMA from now on! i think I will go for the birth centre option too, rather than hospital if OH is with me ill be calmer!
