kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 11:21

My DH will be 26 in July

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 11:24

Hello Pop,

Glad you had a good holiday!!

Tink found out she was pregnant too.

glaskham · 14/05/2008 11:24

right....however much fun i'm having on here i better get off and get my dc's some lunch before the nursery run!! DS is so exited he's bouncing around telling me what animals he's going to see today!!

Oh and i was very impressed to see his drawing of me today did actually resemble a person!! He's coming on in leaps and bounds!!!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 11:30

Hiya Pop What happened with you? You left us all all wondering what was happening? What was the brown stuff about? Glad you had a good time

I found out nearly two weeks ago now I will be 6 weeks on Friday I think. MW booking in appointment on the 3rd June.

My DH will be 38 in August, old bugger that he is

Hope DS enjoys his trip Glaskham

popcornprincess · 14/05/2008 11:38

Oh sorry - it was all very odd. I got brown stuff like i said on the Friday and then it stopped on the saturday, came back on the sunday, stopped again and then full blown blood on the wednesday which lasted for 4 days then stopped on the sunday and then on the monday I got one last splurge of brown whilst standing at the check in desk on the way to lanzarote (not the best time) I think that i ovulated on the friday/saturday of last week although that all seems a bit ealry unless i count it from the first day of brown blood two weeks previously. what do you all think?

If I do mange to get pregnant this month the won't have a bloody clue whento count the first day of my last period from.

Do you get any funny looks or snide comments Nat?

Someone once said to us our age gap was disgusting and DH should go for girls his own age.

There is just under 4 years between us which I don't think is that bad really.

I couldn't careless though. I love DH and he loves me. [soppy git smiley]

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 11:42

I think they say to go from the first day of full blown red flow, so that would have been the Wednesday?

Lanzarote is great, we took our honeymoon there Where did you stay?

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 11:46

Not really, we had some strange looks when we first got together (I was only 17 then, he was 30) people were never quite sure if we were together, or related or something.

I have had more snide looks and comments being out with the kids, especially DS1, on my own. I can handle it, to some people I am the 'typical can't keep her legs shut teenage mum' but the fact that we were married for 6 months before I was pregnant, and both the boys were planned and very much wanted, I think proves otherwise. And TBH, around here, there are far worse things going on than a girl having a baby at 18 years old!

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 11:50

I had some very snide comments when I was expecting DS and a few since.

Everyone assumes I am a single mum. It really pisses me off. I did have a go at an old lady at work and my manager stood and clapped. [rin]

popcornprincess · 14/05/2008 11:53

yep the wednesday so that means if the pains were ovulation pains theni would have ovulated around 9 to 10 days after the start of the red blood. Does that sound fesible?

We stayed in the Iberostar hotel in Costa Calero. its by the harbour. We've been there twice now as we love it so much and it's great for kids.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 11:57

I just make sure that my wedding ring is on show (scratching my nose, or geting a bit of hair out of my face works wonders for showing it off) or a mention of 'Daddy' to the kids. Though it pisses me off that I feel I have to do that sort of thing to justify myself.

The thing that really annoys me about it, is that 9 times out of 10 it is the old bags that do the sneering and whispering to her old bag mates, but most of them would have been married and had a baby/s before they were 20, all very easy to forget that though!

I know a few people who were the 'typical' teenage mum, one of them TBH was erm...... well asking for it, to put it bluntly, the others were great mums, and managed it 100 times better than I ever would doing it alone.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 11:59

Pop, we stayed in an Iberostar in Corfu, it was AMAZING!!!

OV'ing on CD9/10 certainly isn't impossible! If I were you though, just to be on the safe side, I'd carry on GOF'ing at least every other day.

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 12:01

I know a lot of 'typical' teenage mums. Most of them are fantastic.

I do have to show of my wedding ring too. Its bloody annoying, but I always get things of the helf in the shop with my left hand so any old people looking will see it.

popcornprincess · 14/05/2008 12:04

I wish i was still there considering the rainis in its way over here.

Oh ok then. A GOF it is tonight then!!! CM has gone so it will be dry humping all the way!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 12:09

Well if it is dry Pop, then you might as well just do it for fun as and when you like.

I am playing it safe with OV times at the moment, after all the years of thinking I knew when I OV'ed down to the exact day or two just going off CM, this pregnancy has shown otherwise!

popcornprincess · 14/05/2008 12:12

How out were you with regard to the CM?

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 12:13

I keep looking at the website with the cottage we are going on holiday too. I keep trying to show DS but he is more interested in Handy Manny.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 12:15

I've no idea, I'd hurt my back on the Tuesday so no GOF's till the Friday I think it was, thought I'd OV'ed on the Sunday, all looking great so far, felt very pregnant by the following Friday, did a test mid morning and it was a very strong BFP (think pics are still on profile), so that would have been 5dpo, no way I could have OV'ed on the Sunday, which means I must have OV'ed before I'd hurt my back.

Confused? Me to!! LOL

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 12:16

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 12:18

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 12:21

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 14/05/2008 13:12

God did my DH scare you all away??!

Lovely place Kay I know you've said, but can't remember now, when are you going?

kayzisexpecting · 14/05/2008 13:13

19th July for a week.

I can't wait to go away.

EsmeWeatherwax · 14/05/2008 13:16

Kayz, that is gorgeous, looks beautiful!

Just went to local huge mothercare at lunchtime to buy baby gifts for people, god, now broodier than ever. Completely over run with lovely pg ladies and even lovelier babies! Spent a fortune as well, lol, very inconsiderate of SIL and very close mate to have babies within a few weeks of each other

NJ, if you had such a strong bfp that soon after ov, assuming it was that soon after ov...maybe the baby fairy has gifted you twinnies!
