[EllieG]

Hello all - new thread here!

Oh honey....I know you dont need to hear this but you will cope.. The father of my eldest walked out on me the day she was born while i was in intensive care...I thought that was it, but here i am 7 years later with no. 4 on way and a real man by my side.. You stay strong and treat yourself gently, it will take time but you deserve so much better.. Congrats on the scan and dont be afraid to rely on your family and us ladies on here...Big Hugs..xx

Oh, what a git, mummyofaprincess. You haven't done anything wrong.

Congratulations on the healthy baby possibly-boy!

Whereabouts are you? Are any of us anywhere close?

Thank you ladies it means alot to me right now im from Walsall West Midlands. Anyone close 2 me?

mummyofaprincess, your xp is a total git! It may not feel like it now, but you are better off without him. And his fancy-woman is no better! I assume she knows you're pg? Come on here as much as you can, this place is great for support!

oh mummyofaprincess, had a nearly similar situation last year, only I wasn't pregnant and had to find out for myself as xp was too much a coward.
if you want to talk/mail just CAT me.
hug you (((((mummyofaprincess)))))

ps: and believe me, it's so not your fault he went out on you!!

ugh mummyofaprincess, what a wanker, I split with my two's dad when my eldest was in SCBU, and then split properly when my DS was 7months old, so was just me a 4yo and an 8mnth old.
You'll be fine, I know it's gonna hurt like hell for a while, butyou will be happy a\gain, and you can do it.
xxxx

Sorry to hear that mummyofaprincess - what a git - but like everyone said you will be fine, just take it easy & come on here whenever you can. You can also CAT me if you ever need to vent We´re all here for you whenever you need us

Morning all and congratulations on all the exciting scan news.

mummyofaprincess- I'm sorry to hear your news. I'm not near Walsall but thinking of you.

I wore underwires until the hour before I gave birth last time and then breastfed for 11 months without problems. Went to Rigby and Peller on Saturday to be fitted for new bras and the woman there said its absolutely fine to wear an underwire when pregnant but the must be well fitted and not trapping any area of the breast at all.

They recommend returning within the last 3 weeks of pregnancy to be fitted for feeding bras (if needed)

We've got our scan on Monday. Very excited and nervous.

Keep well everybody

elfsmummy - let us know how it all goes, what time on Monday? Ours is on Thursday but not until 6pm so won´t be able to tell anyone about it until Friday.

mummyofaprincess - hope you are ok, that sounds like alot to put on you at this time in your life. Be strong!

I am in very big shock still!

9am - thank God - Don't think I could last much longer.

Scorpio I'm not surprised that you're in shock - you seemed very definate that it would be a boy.

Have you come up with any girly names yet? What do your DSs think?

When we told ds's they laughed - all the babies we know are boys, ds1 said you can't have a girl baby in your tummy, we asked him what to call her and he said superman!

We were so sure db3 was a boy because all of our children are boys! dp is over the moon and an't stop talking about it! i told the mums at school today and they were all really suprised too!

Names are harder with girls for me. We quite like Taila, Tai for short everyday naming. i like americanised names you see! (Some would say Chav!) Teagan is nice but dp said its not sweet enough apparently. He says no to Sienna, which is a same because dd ( !) will be dark like ds2, and i think it will suit her.

Mummyofaprincess - loads of hugs to you hon, what a horrible time. We are all here for you, whenever you need us, please don't go too far xxxxx

scorpio - congrats lady! Lovely news x

Oh I'm osorry mummyofaprincess- one day yu'll be glad that the useless piece of rubbish vanished, but it must hurt right now . Hugs to you.

Elfsmummy, current Unicef BFI advice is not to wear underwired bras during pg- I know Rigby and Peller are good, I wonder if they're qualiffied Breastfeeding Consultants howwever - and dor emember that wahtever else, they are defintely salespeople.

Well, I am growing bigger every day LOL! DH thinks this one will come early (will probably be late now) because of my size, and also that nesting instinct kicked ina lready LOL- went to IKEA yesterday and spent a small fortunre on furniture for the playroom which is currently a warehouse for an entire collection of palstic crap). We shall see LOL

Mummyofaprincess - So sorry to hear about your worthless XP. I am not near you, I'm afraid, but if you can find the time do stick around on mumsnet, there are so many people who have been through something similar and will have uplifting advice.
And great news on your LO - healthy, and maybe a boy!

And cone on Scorpio, we want to hear your pink names. Thought of any yet?

Sorry scorpio, Xpost

Mummyofaprincess - you and the princess (and the prince/new princess!!) are far better off without that worthless, immature piece of sh1t. Please, please keep posting, even when you feel utterly miserable - we will send you virtual cake and hugs! Great news about your little boy (or girl) being all well - he (or she) will love you for years and years after you've forgotten about your ex and found someone a million times better.

Good luck to him trying to have a relationship with the kind of stupid cow who would sleep with a man with a pregnant partner!

Being judgemental, but really

on your and your children's behalf

mummyofaprincess, im thinking of you...i know this sounds trite but it sounds like you and your kids are so much better of without this morally bankrupt jerk.
of course things will hurt like hell right now but know they WILL get better. For now try to focus on your children and family who sound lovely.

Mummyofaprincess, I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through.

scorpio- I love the name Sienna.

Well DH has just left to go to his conference and am feeling very down about our financial situation at the moment so not in the best of moods However, DS & I are off to a friends tomorrow to stay overnight so she can "babysit" me I think we´re ordering crispy duck as well so really looking forward to that.

What about Sierra -- would he like that any better?

Shelby?

(trying to think of American-style names)

Darcy?
Eden?
Delainey?
Kendall?
Alaina?
Avery?
Paige?
Kira?
Tatum?

I don´t think I´d feel so bad if it wasn´t for the fact that Christmas is nearly here and I´ve done practically nothing about it. However, it´s pizza today at school so it´s not all bad

lemonaid - I´m sorry but Sierra would remind me of a family saloon car scorpio - Sienna is nice, especially (like you said) if she´s going to be dark. I still keep smiling for you, think it must be because at the moment you´re surrounded by all those boys
