Crystaitips, M2T is right, noone's going to hate you. This a a huge upheaval and it does sound as if it going to be difficult for you. There are big decisions to make right now and only you and your dh can decide what to do so I suppose my only advice is to tell him as soon as you can. Wish I could be of more help.

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 22:08

No ... I've known for a while. I know it sounds crass ... but I know my body .. all I have to do is drop my knickers

Havent told DH ..cos I am bricking it .... I'm sure he'll be OK ( nearly ) .... it'll be me who does the lion's share at the end of the day

Little helpers ..... at 3 am, at 10am, when the Simpsons are on .... I don't think so

M2T · 10/11/2003 22:07

I was trying to say that you won't have a toddler AND a small baby now. It will be very different and, hopefully, much easier than you expect. Some other MN'ers with experience of that will surely jump in with loads of advice for you.

M2T · 10/11/2003 22:05

Noones going to hate you!

How do you think DH wil react? This doesn't have to be the end to all plans though. I know it might all lookk like doom adn gloom at the moment, but I;m sure once you talk to your DH and you work out some practicalities it won't seem so disastrous..... some things are just meant to be. And also bear in mind that you now have 2 extra little helpers!
They can fetch bottles, clothes, nappies..... and after a couple of attempts I was changing nappies at 10 yrs old.

Why haven't you told DH yet? Have you only just found out??

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 22:01

Runs in my family ... my gran was 47 with her last one !! ( I used to be able to laugh about it )

DH ... doesn't know
My life was sorted ... 2 kids DS aged 10 and DD aged 8.
joined lots of classes, starting to set up my own business, and enjoying the freedom ...
Please don't hate me ... but I really don't want this one ... and I don't know what to do ....

bunny2 · 10/11/2003 21:58

Crystaltips, I am very envious!! I realise it's a bit of a shock but what a lovely one. Hope it all goes very well for you.

M2T · 10/11/2003 21:55

OOOOOOOPS! Meant 14 YEARS between me and my youngest brother! lol.

M2T · 10/11/2003 21:54

Oh dear.

I know that if I had gotten pg last year I would be DEVASTATED!
If it's any consolation my Mum had my youngest brother (her 4th child) on the very day of her 40th birthday!

There is 14 between us and my other brother was only 3! I love having brothers so young and they loved having 2 older sisters.
How old are your other children and how does you DH feel about it? Do your kids know yet?

I was 10 when my Mum told me she was pregnant with No3. I was the happiest 10 year old EVER.

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 21:50

5 weeks late
positive
Due in July
TOTAL ACCIDENT ... nothing sinister !
I will be 40

M2T · 10/11/2003 21:43

Crystaltips - D'you mean you've gotten pg accidentally.

Poor you! How far on are you? And how old are you if you don't mind me asking.

crystaltips · 10/11/2003 21:40

Lucky you guys .... I'm joiing the ranks .... unwillingly.
Too old and settled to cope with all that again.... SOrry to put a downer on your joy .... AND a sober Christmas

M2T · 10/11/2003 21:12

Hello all the new ttc-ers - welcome to the world of bizarre periods!

Well done Helsbels!

I like the thought of enjoying Xmas/Xmas BD too CD - and September babies get a headstart at school (extra year of nursery/nanny fees, thought)!

Futurity - don't want to get your hopes up but my a/f was due on Thursday last week - since Sat last week i had been getting the usual aches and pains i got when AF was about to arrive - however, i tested on Wednesday and it was positive!

Aches aren't always bad - have read that you get them in ealry pregnancy where your body is adjusting!

Don't give up just yet!

MUM2ELA · 10/11/2003 14:14

Good luck and hugs futurity!

Let us know how you get on . . .x

MUM2ELA · 10/11/2003 14:13

Hi Dinosaur!

Welcome!

Am opposite to you - want a sumer baby. DD was born beginning of Sept and had a lovely month with her before the weather turned horrible. This time round want a summer baby so can spend lots of time outside with DD running around and new baby basking in sun, and me NOT showing lots of flesh!

futurity · 10/11/2003 14:12

The reason I think I am probably not pregnant is the fact that I have the typical aches in my tummy which I get around AF time. Last time I knew I was pregnant because the day AF was due I felt "normal" and did two days later so took the test. I didn't get any preg symptoms though for a while (well..another 2-3 weeks after) which was when the queeziness started.

Oh well..off to get the test.
