In the space of 6 months I have gone from 'im never having babies' to 'I must have a baby'. It was a surprise to me as much as anyone. Not that anyone knows, I haven't shared it with my closest friends even. That's how I have ended up here at Mumsnet. A quick google search of some of my biggest questions led me here everytime so I decided this is the place I need to be!
So, from July we plan to start trying for a baby. I have been losing weight since before Christmas (2st 5lb now - chuffed much!) and I plan to shed another stone before we start. The doctor has told me about the importance of folic acid (not that I really understood what the importance was, just that it is important!) and the second bedroom is on it's way to being painted.
It actually feels really good to say these things! So far it has only been discussions between me and my partner and, whilst I am excited, I am so scared and don't really have a clue what I am doing. But that's normal, right??
