Awwww hi BB.

I was on the antenatal thread with your mum when she had SJ.
How you doing?
Your mum thinks your doing fab!!

Lots of support on here for you.
I'm having my 3rd baby in dec.
I had my first when I was 21 so young ish.

singingmum · 28/04/2007 13:44

Blooming, congrats.
I was a teen mum 17 when my son was born.I had all the talking about me and my Dp.Just remember that when they are knee deep in nappies you will have a teen who will be able to stay at home while you go out for an evening etc.I always think of this when I meet people who are still in nappy stage and they show disdain because I was teen mum.You still get some amount of whispers years later(I am 30 now)
Have just realised that you are due on mine and Dp's anniversary of when we got together.
Hope your bf is good to you and things work out.It does happen me and Dp have been together for 14 yrs day your due.
Enjoy your pregnancy and listen to the advice given on mumsnet it's worth it.

BloomingBennett · 28/04/2007 13:47

hi nbg you lot have been great for my mum shes always talking so highly of that thread and the people on it lol. she keeps trying to get me to go on your thread and meet the gang but im nervous

BloomingBennett · 28/04/2007 13:50

hi singing mum thanks alot for the advice and support i will have been with bf for 3 years after baby is born so not as long as you but he has been fantastic already especially with my backache. its not fair only now i find out he gives the most amazing massages lol

OP posts:

Nbg · 28/04/2007 13:52

awww you should come in and say hi.
We're all dying to meet you, lol

Although I should warn you, they are all phsycopaths

Have you joined the due in October antenatal thread?

singingmum · 28/04/2007 13:54

Best time to find out.Enjoy them as after baby born you may be both to tired to get around to them or anything else for that matter

BloomingBennett · 28/04/2007 14:00

nbg-yeah thats what mum said, youre all a bit mad well i will one night when im back at mums im out with my dad at the mo. yes i have joined the october crew theyre really nice i like it on this one too though hehe

singing-lol i still cant feel the baby though and im sixteen weeks now will be 17 on wednesday when did you feel it the first time im getting impatient lol

OP posts:

singingmum · 28/04/2007 14:04

You'll feel it soon.I felt both mine around 15+weeks as they have always been advanced little beggars.It's such a magnificent feeling that it makes you wonder why some others never want to feel it.
Does your bf talk to the baby?
My Dp used to tell my2 stories-while I was pg.My mum used to laugh and so did I.
It was funny to watch him lying with his head on my bump chatting away lol

BloomingBennett · 28/04/2007 14:08

its making me laugh just thinking about him doing that hahahaha he probably will though but not really got a bump yet so he probably feels embaressed talking to a stomach hehe

OP posts:

singingmum · 28/04/2007 14:11

It's great fun when you're feeling down honestly.Mind you I had afriend pg at the same time as me who was horrified at the idea.She thought we were weird
I admit I used to sing to the babies when no one was around
Maybe we are nuts.I even spoke to my cousins twins while they were still baking

BloomingBennett · 28/04/2007 14:18

i used to talk to my sisters and brothers all the time. i have 6 overall but can onky remember the last three. we are not nuts though...i dont think...well maybe a little bit hehe. will definately tell him it will help with the blues though he worries about the littlest things. bless him

blooming- first labour 12 hours no pain relief,no tears, fine! 6lb 11oz.

dont worry sweetie

nappyaddict · 28/04/2007 21:18

my ex used to talk to ds when i was pregnant and make sounds to see if he would react and kick to them. and he wasn't even his dad! whos your mum?

Judy1234 · 28/04/2007 21:35

Congratulations. 17 is probably peak/best age physically to have a child although no one often says that. I was fairly young when I had mine although I'd started work and carried on afterwards working too.

BloomingBennett · 29/04/2007 09:57

scorpio-great news thanks alot thats the way id like it lol

nappy- hehe my mum is on this as dreamydolwer cant remember what thread she is on though

xenia-i am hoping to take a year out of sixth form and then go back to complete my final year so i can go to uni. its going to be at least 5 years before i start work

OP posts:

Judy1234 · 29/04/2007 10:40

That sounds like a good plan. My oldest three are at university, although none with babies yet.

BloomingBennett · 29/04/2007 10:48

my elder sister is at uni too but she moved away from home whereas i wont be

OP posts:

nappyaddict · 29/04/2007 12:39

i am moving 2 hours away, i like having my independence so mum can't interfere, but its close enough to be able to come home if i want. originally the place i wanted to go was only 1 hour, 20 minutes but i didn't get a place. are you going to be living with your parents or getting your own house?

BloomingBennett · 29/04/2007 12:49

well mum wont let me move out yet so bf moving in with us untill the baby about 1 then we can move. she just wants to help i think.

I THINK I FELT THE BABY MOVE yesterday but i thought nthing of it and again a few minites ago it was like a bubble in my tummy is that right is that what its meant to feel like or did i not really feel it im confused and very excited HELP

OP posts:

nappyaddict · 29/04/2007 15:02

yes its like a bubble. that was it. felt mine at 12 weeks on xmas eve.

tbh she can't really stop you from moving out if that's what you want. you come from quite a large family already and adding a new baby and your bf into the mix might add a lot of stress that could be avoided if you had a place of your own.

it is nice to have the help from parents, but sometimes i feel like screaming cos they try and take over where ds is concerned. it has caused endless rows and my relationship with my mum is now very bad. i reckon if i had lived on my own from the start we would still get on great.

i moved into sheltered mother and baby housing, all the parents in it were under 25.made loads of friends and got help on the side, maybe your local council/HA does something like this?it may help you become independant without taking such a big step? i have just started uni since hving the babies, its fine and gives me some 'me' time.definitely go back!

and yeah,baby feelsl ike that, or butterfly wings?

chocolattegirl · 30/04/2007 08:39

I would advocate moving out as soon as you feel ready - I reluctantly moved back home with my parents when I was 8months pg but in retrospect I should have gone back to my original uni after a year or so at home wit my LO (I transferred to the uni nearest my parental home but had to repeat some stuff ).

At the time though I welcomed the help I was getting at home as at times I was very lonely being pg in a student house although my friends were quite supportive.

nappyaddict · 30/04/2007 10:00

chocolategirl what year were you in when you transferred?
