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?

So when your child is climbing over you, therefore wanting to play/interact with you you plan on throwing him a toy so you can carry on gaming?Hmm

feathermucker · 24/07/2017 19:54

I think OP is enjoying the attention tbh.

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 24/07/2017 19:54

I was ready to come on and offer some advice having been in the same situation when I was pregnant but I see who it is. Still trying to reach actual parents how to parents are we OP?
Must remind myself that distracting my child with his favourite toy is the key, so simple Hmm

nokidshere · 24/07/2017 19:54

I think the OP is enjoying winding everyone up Wink

Toysaurus · 24/07/2017 19:54

From your answers, I don't think you studied anything at college.

You might be able to game whilst the baby sleeps, for about 6 months Max.

After that, they need your constant attention.

You don't lose all personality when you have children, you just put it on a (high up) shelf for a couple of years.

Also, it's all well and good saying you'll introduce your son to your interests as soon as possible, but in reality, toddlers and small children like whatever they want to like. My 3yo is obsessed with flowers, knows all the names and points them out in people's gardens. I couldn't get her into painting and punk music (my interests) if I tried.

Cheshire Which part of Cheshire are you in? You can buy unpasteurised milk in Northup Hall in Flintshire.

Love, Cheshire.

OP Don't want to depress you but I haven't been able to go on a swing, let alone a rollercoaster, since I was pregnant. I get dizzy so easily now...

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 19:57

Im not enjoying the attention or trying to wind people up. But there must be some truth to what is taught in the BTEC? They dont just teach bs

I've never been pregnant, I never intend to be. I still think I have a good idea what you can and can't eat or do when pregnant.

Unless you live in a cave I don't know how you would be able to miss that general information- it's everywhere isn't it?

Your reactions seem quite...dramatic. Do you usually react to small issues in this way?

Sirzy · 24/07/2017 19:58

From your interpretations of the course I am certainly swinging towards them teaching byllshit.

There again I doubt how to game while ignoring your child is high up on the syllabus?

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 19:59

Sirzy

We wont ignore him . You do know its possible to focus on 2 things at once, humans are actually pretty good at it

Trust me OP, a BTEC qualification is not going to help you prepare for motherhood. I'm not saying that to be rude, but it just isn't. In much the same way as reading a textbook isn't going to help you drive a car. Even 'easy' babies are hard work, and I say that as someone who had one 'hard' baby (literally never slept more than 40 minutes at a time, and then would take 2 hours of rocking to go back to sleep) and one relatively 'easy' baby.

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 20:01

Sirzy

But babies ARE easilly distracted. If a baby on a bus is crying, your natural reaction is to play peekaboo with it.

Hey everyone.....

Fuck me, this is a weird old thread. I'm going to Thorpe Park next week. I can't bloody walk at the moment though. Should I make the whole family sit around with me and do bog all?

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 20:02

KitKat1

There are 2 of us and only one Daniel. We can manage. It will be hard, but we wont die.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 24/07/2017 20:02

And I love the notion of easily distracted babies. Wish I had known that when DS2 used to scream for hours in the car...

Bluntness100 · 24/07/2017 20:02

Well this got all weird didn't it.

< looks around confused>

You're right babies are easily distracted... For all of 5 minutes, then they need re-distracting. In fact I spent all day today distracting my 1 year old with all his toys, little bugger still wouldn't leave me along Grin

NicolasFlamel · 24/07/2017 20:03

Christ. Poor bloody Daniel.

MummyMiddleton · 24/07/2017 20:05

Nicholas

Why? We are not going to neglect him or not give him love. We are just talking about gaming when we can find a way. Daniel will always come first
