UK ladies, in their 20s? Looking for a buddy :)

[lovepurple90]

Hiya ladies,

So I feel like I'm going through this pregnancy alone. I've got my wonderful OH and mum but I'm looking for ladies around my age and location who I can talk to, compare symptoms with etc.

I'm 11 weeks and 5days along; I don't really mind if you're further along or some weeks behind me! Just looking for some people to talk to x

 

[CrimsonZombie]

I am

It'll be nice to have someone to talk to about pregnancy, sucks that I don't have any friends to go through it with. My OH is very supportive as always.
xxxx

 

[lovepurple90]

Heya hun, thanks for getting back to me How are you? x

 

[CrimsonZombie]

It's not a problem at all.
I'm great, I've been a bit better though
How about you? xxxx

 

[lovepurple90]

Just been having awful nausea, dry heaving and vomiting. Can't keep much food down but apart from that I'm ok Have you told people about your pregnancy yet? xx

 

[CrimsonZombie]

I know how you feel, I still have terrible sickness every now and then

Yeah, we have, but it was so hard to keep hush about it until we had the scan

Have you told anyone yet?

 

[lovepurple90]

Told my mum, my bf, a couple of friends and my tutor at uni. But haven't told any other family. I dunno what I'm waiting for really. Don't know how my younger brothers will react as well as my dad so I'm a little nervous!

 

[CrimsonZombie]

Oh yeah, I was exactly the same when I had my first little one. I couldn't believe how scared and nervous I was, but go for it, it might not be as bad as you think. I thought my dad wouldn't take well to the news but he was fine with it.
Maybe you could think of a creative way to tell them, then it might not be as bad for you as it would be to tell them out right xxxx

 

[lovepurple90]

Yeah a creative way might be nice, hopefully either way they should be fine with the news. Im 23, gonna be 24 when the baby comes so its not that bad.

Have you had amy scans? Do you know the sex of the baby yet?

 

[CrimsonZombie]

I don't see why they shouldn't be

I had my 12 week about 5 weeks ago and everything was perfect and okay. Then I had to have another scan because I started to bleed a few weeks ago. Thankfully Marshmallow's heart was still beating, I've never been so worried/scared in all my life. It's different from when I had my son, nothing like that ever happened with him.

I have my 20 week on the 5th of August so I hopefully will get to know what we're going to have.
So excited for it.
As for me, when Marshmallow is due, I'll have been 22 for nearly a month, so it's like a late birthday and early Christmas present all in one

How about you? How did your scan(s) go if you've had any? xxxx

Well hey!
You're more than welcome to join

Oh that's great to hear dandan1331, I bet you're so happy?

Sorry to hear about your mum modified, I hope she'll be around to see your baby being born. We both have the same sue date ^.^

 

[dandan1331]

Very happy long road to get here, now I am loving every minute!! Love feeling him kick. It's all just going too fast lol

 

[CrimsonZombie]

Tell me about it, before long he'll be here, even then, time doesn't wait, he'll be one before you know it

 

[dandan1331]

I know! I can't believe I'm over halfway through this pregnancy already! Lol. Can't wait to see what he looks like though

 

[CrimsonZombie]

Neither can I, I just can't wait to meet her.

I'm only 3 weeks from V-Day, so once I pass that, I'll be relaxed a lot more than I am right now

 

[pinkribbon]

Hey!

I'm 23, pregnant with my 3rd. (1st at 20, 2nd at 22 and I'm 24 this month).

I'm due in December do you have a pregnancy journal I can stalk?

 

[lovepurple90]

Hi ladies, haven't been on here on a while even though I started the thread!

So nice to meet you guys! Dandan, congrats, after all those tries, it must be such a blessing Modified, sorry to hear about your mum, I hope you're feeling ok x

Crimson, sorry for taking so long to reply! Had my 12 week scan ages ago then had a 16week appointment with my doctor last week. Wish I had the chance to have a scan but I don't think they have 16 week scans. I've booked an anomaly scan for 04/09 - hoping I get to find out the sex then even though I want to go private and pay to find out what I'm having!

How are you ladies feeling now? Also does anyone know where to find local pregnant ladies groups? I really wanted to try and find some in West London but I don't know where to look x

 

[pinkribbon]

Have you tried your local sure start?

I'm lucky in that nearly all my friends are mothers because a lot of baby groups tend to be older mums and they don't seem to give you the time of day but sometimes sure start have younger mums attend groups
