@ManicPerchant19 I hope so. I don't have anything on my side that I know of (I am basically NC with bio father but I can contact if needs be - but I want to tell my family before him) but DP's condition is still monitored yearly in the Mater and he is 35. He also had open heart surgery at a few months old. I will really be hitting that home with them, I obviously want my baby to be looked after as much as possible.
@InOmniaParatus13 its mad that some of us are having the same cravings, and most of us seem to be having the same aversions.
@Dweebette I went up a size in jeans for work, not quite ready for maternity trousers until I tell them in work! I can put on my normal size but they are tight and uncomfortable so cannot be good for baby!
@MumbleLumble how far along are you now? Apparently it gets easier. Currently I can sleep, its getting up that's the problem, and then I have a nap after work too. I am so tired all the time.
@Marleym28 I said that to my DP at the weekend, what if there is no baby there?? He looked at me like I was a crazy woman.
@Dr273 we have bought nothing yet, there is a baby fair coming up in October so I am going to go to that and try get some deals. We can't buy too much either as our house will not be built until after baby is born so we have very little space in rented house for too much.
Last night I had a complete emotional meltdown. My scan is not until 13+5 which is worrying me (still over 2 weeks away). I also live about 2 hours from my family and friends network, I am living where I am the last 2.5 years but only have a handful of people here I would call close friends, my bestie is an hour away. DP is currently working at home, but due to the nature of his work that could easily change (up to recently he was working 2plus hours away so not home during the week). I think it all got the better of me last night, I was trying to not let DP know just how upset I was, until he said "you will have support from your mam and sister".
Well, that just made me 100 times worse as I sobbed that they live too far away, then he said about his mam and sister, who I pointed out work. I feel so isolated at the min. I know there is a BF support group, and family centers that have baby and parent groups, but I can't join any of them yet. Plus none of my friends in the area know I am pregnant yet so I can't talk to any of them about it until after the scan.
I work with only men, so I won't have anyone to talk to in work really either. Two of them have kids, but it just is not the same!!
Sorry I just think I needed a bit of a rant. Tell me I am not the only one who is freaking out that they won't manage once baby arrives??
