MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 16:37

I am almost 6 months pregnant (due Nov. 10)

DH and I have been invited to Thorpe Park next week. I have said there is no point in me going as I wont be able to do much apart from eat and sit on the fake beach. But DH still wants to go. I really want to be ok with him going but at the same time I am VERY VERY jealous. I love theme parks and thrill rides. I live for them. I cant wait to be able to go on them again and one day we can take Daniel too. I know pregnancy doesnt last forever and I would rather have our baby than a one day fun experience. But it still hurts to see other people having fun when you are not

Should I ask him nicely not to go or should I just bite my tounge and say fuck it? Its either I upset DH or I upset myself? Aibu?

Hudson im not entirely sure myself. I think the original intention meandered away a few pages ago.

Bluntness100 · 24/07/2017 20:53

I think the plan is to brain wash Daniel so he is not free to develop his own likes and dislikes.

You know op he will grow up hating it don't you...

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 20:53

What if he doesnt like gaming?

We will come to that if it happens

But those people with the masters level maths don't write books for a living.

You wouldn't have an epidural with a water birth though would you?

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 20:55

Neither do I!

I know, you sell ornaments....never mind.

KitKat1985 · 24/07/2017 20:57

Yes Bastards, my understanding is that you can't have an epidural if you're having a water birth, as obviously you can't have a drip line in your spine and be in water.

Never knew that as we were not having an epi anyway before we planned to have a water birth. So we never asked. We decided as soon as we knew we were expecting that we didnt want an epi.

What was the maddie thing you didn't know about babies on your other thread too OP? Wasn't it that you didn't know they should sleep in your room for the first 6 months and you were planning to put him in his own nursery straight away?

What exactly do you know about pregnancy and babies??

My mother put me in my own room from day 1. Thats what she always taught me to do.

"We decided" - why is YOUR pain relief a "we" decision? Shock

PollytheDolly · 24/07/2017 21:03

We decided as soon as we knew we were expecting that we didnt want an epi.

Yes me too. Guess what happened?

KitKat1985 · 24/07/2017 21:04

My sensible advice OP would be to research all of your pain relief options for labour. Many people go into labour not planning on having pain relief and change their minds mid-labour. That's not to say you will need it, (it depends on your pain threshold), but it'll be good for you to know in advance what your options are and what the risks / benefits are of each.

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 21:04

Sirzy

I just phrase everything like that

My mum used to put brandy on a dummy for me as well...advice changes.

CheshireChat · 24/07/2017 21:12

The advice was to put babies to sleep on their bellies, now it's on their backs. Things change.

NoCapes · 24/07/2017 21:16

So are you going to do some research? Because with everything you post on here it's becoming more and more clear that you're absolutely clueless
It's actually really concerning that you will have a tiny human completely dependent on you in a few months

Leaspr · 24/07/2017 21:17

Unfortunately as much as you might plan for a water birth, it doesn't necessarily mean that is how you will end up giving birth.
You might also change your mind on pain relief options once you are actually in labour! Thankfully, although my labour was 72 hours, I didn't feel the need for an epi as I didn't personally feel that the pain was too much to bare (don't get me wrong - still hurt a lot!). I was very lucky to have a fairly easy birth though other than the amount of time she took.
One thing you will soon learn is that you can plan as much as you like - that goes for labour and parenting- but even the best laid plans can soon fall apart!

There are 2 of us, we are in it together and we have mumsnet. We have 3 months to make ourselves perfect

Speaking of unpasteurised milk, I thought it was illegal to buy? I'm really struggling to make yogurt with the normal milk.

I don't know about there, but here in the US you can buy what's called a herd share; literally a share of a herd of cows. You can then buy unpasteurized dairy products from the herd that you own a share of. My herd share was $50, then it's $30 a month for a gallon of milk a week.
