couldn't find one in the age group threads so thought it might be nice to have a 20-something's group - obviously anyone is welcome though!

my basic info is:
age 22
6w2d
edd 7th march
no dcs!

anyone else?

hi daley and welcome!

anyone else keep getting asked if baby was planned? literally everyone is asking me, including people that barely no me.Really annoying. I don't care if my mates ask, but total bloody strangers that only know you through someone else or through work etc. sorry for the rant haha. Grin

DaleyBump · 22/08/2013 21:42

Thanks for the welcome :) feel really awkward joining a 20+ group being 18! Not actually sure how I'm finding to to be honest penguin, never been so stressed in my life! Yourself? :)

I've been asked constantly if it was planned. It's really irritating! What business is it of theirs? And what difference does it make? I'm with you sarahleanne :)

sarahleanne · 22/08/2013 21:54

I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
Don't feel awkward for joining. I had my first at 19 , second at 22 and now I'm pregnant with my third at 24.
I've been in both your shoes :)

ThedementedPenguin · 22/08/2013 22:00

Daley I know what you mean however this time I'm not as bad. Think you are more chilled with your second.

Only thing is so far it's so different from the last time. I don't have the same symptoms. I find that wierd I thought I knew what to expect but not really.

That is an awful thing to be asked. Maybe when someone asks you that is not family or friends just tell them to mind their own. I wouldn't answer it.

sarahleanne · 22/08/2013 22:07

Yeah they are all far too opinionated these strangers .. And nosey!!

Daley what have you been stressing about, just general pregnancy stuff? Hope you are ok :)

unimum93 · 22/08/2013 22:46

Hey can I join?? Just turned 20, 16 weeks preg with DC2.
DD 12/2/14

DaleyBump · 23/08/2013 20:38

Och, just started a 3 year degree and trying to find a mortgage and everything too. The wee one was unplanned and we didn't expect to have to get a mortgage so quickly (our flat is rented) but we need a house, or even a bigger flat, because we're in a single bed right now. Thanks for asking :)

We had a 4D scan today, if anyone fancies a look here's the link to my Photobucket :) it's just amazing :)

Hi unimum :)

terilou87 · 24/08/2013 22:40

ThedementedPenguin · 24/08/2013 22:56

Hi terilou

I'm only 8 weeks today. So I'm a good bit away from that but I'm really hoping to find out.

I found out with my first.

I'm having such a crap day! I feel so so sick. Sad

MummaPanda · 24/08/2013 23:27

Daley have you posted on the November thread? I'm due 3rd of Nov and we have a really great facebook group if your interested.
We found out that we are having a boy, couldn't find out with dd as she was awkward so was glad we could this time!

DaleyBump · 24/08/2013 23:36

I did (under a different name) a wee while ago. I'm due at the very end of November and felt a bit left out, especially when I asked to be added into the FB group and nobody would add me so I just jumped onto the December thread :)

Congratulations on your little boy!!

Hi terilou

MummaPanda · 25/08/2013 09:44

Oh its not that nobody would add you! But its because its a secret group and only a couple know how to add people! (I don't, but probably because I'm on a blackberry) there are a few more people who have figured it out now if you did want to pop on and ask to join! There are a mixture of beginning middle and end of november people Smile

Mummabear12 · 25/08/2013 20:00

Hello ladies sorry I've not posted for a while! I've recently found out that my partner has cheated on me! I can't speak to anyone as I feel like an absolute mug! So I'm guna vent on here! I just don't understand why he said he wanted to try for another baby while he has been cheating on me! So I'm now 6 weeks pregnant and very confused as to what to do! Anyone got any advice for me :( feel like an idiot! Blush

terilou87 · 25/08/2013 20:53

mummabear12 aww hun, what an absolute pig he is! my best advice is walk away and don't look back! you deserve better. and i know, easier said than done, but if he done it once he will do it again.
thedementedpenguin i felt like that till about 3 weeks ago, r u feeling any better yet?

MummaPanda · 25/08/2013 21:43

Awww mummabear that's really horrible!! Can't imagine what your going through Sad

ThedementedPenguin · 25/08/2013 22:50

terilou yes feeling a lot better today. It comes and goes. I should really be used to it but I just felt so rotten.

mummabear you must be due around same time as me. I was going to comment on your other post however I haven't introduced myself yet. Take this time to access what you want. Then when he gets back you will be able to talk to him.

Stom91 · 27/08/2013 19:27

Hey im a little late coming in. But..

I'm 21.. 23+2 weeks... First dd!! :D
Due 21st December

itsliz · 28/08/2013 12:49

Oh Mummabear, you poor poor thing Sad I really don't know what to suggest other than to walk away before it's too late and before you get even further into your pregnancy and end up letting the hormones take over!

Or if you feel that you want to, maybe sit him down and explain nice and bluntly that either he bucks up his ideas, cuts all ties with this woman and focuses solely on you and bump or you'll be leaving for good. I know it's easier said than done, but if he's acting like this now then I really can't imagine him being a good dad...

And welcome to the thread Stom! Seems we're fairly close in age as well as due dates!

Stom91 · 28/08/2013 12:51

Thanks itsliz I think I've seen you in the December thread? :)

Stom91 · 28/08/2013 12:51

Thanks itsliz I think I've seen you in the December thread? :)

ElleCloughie · 29/08/2013 04:50

Ooh, only just seen this thread!

I'm 26, and 34+6 with DD1. Me and DH have been together for 8 years, and decided to start trying after last Christmas, and from the results of our dating scan got lucky pretty much straight away!

Just started maternity leave, so it's all starting to feel very "real" now!

terilou87 · 01/09/2013 16:52

Welcome elle and congratulations on your first dd, I start my maternity leave on 28th of September found out last week im having another ds Grin

moominleigh94 · 04/09/2013 23:01

Tea1Sugar · 08/09/2013 12:57
