Facing pregnancy alone?

[thedogsrolex]

There seem to be quite a few threads lately posted by women facing pregnancy alone for whatever reason. I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea to have one ongoing thread for support and advice...what do you think? I know it would have helped me way back when I had dd? (apologies if there is already one, I haven't come across it).

Yep, she is pregnant, due in December, he tried to persuade her to get rid too. She doesnt know about Lou, thinks he is separated......

I would like to find him and nail his balls to the wall myself!!

I think they should put all thse twunts together. Id love to hear their views on life and such things.
I am trying to make myself feel better, i did need to go up to the town where he is and see my friends, but ive been putting it off, maybe i should take a bit of inspiration from Lou and bite the bullet in life a bit more.
Saw a male friend from that town a few weeks ago and hes been texting me ever since being supportive which is nice. At least thats got me thinking i can be all bad.
Cant believe Lou's twut, he is disgusting seriously vile. Notgeoff are you going to namechange to mysic meg because your really good at predicting things (have met mystic meg once in the flesh- please dont get her haircut) am really glad she has her thread, its very supportive, wish id kept my old one... wonder if MN keep them on file somewhere secret?
Have a massage booked tommorow, and the folks booked pooch into doggy daycare for the day (birthday treats). Was thinking about getting my fanjo waxed ready for birth but bit squeemish on that front. Was really nice of ma and pa to get me gift vouchers for a spa day for my birthday.

OOh enjoy the massage. Don't bother with the fanjo wax, get your nails done whilst you can enjoy having them long-ish.

I LONG to have a spa day. In fact, I do have some vouchers to use, so will have to phone up the salon and see what days they can fit me in.
I'm going to have my eyebrows tinted and shaped, and a pedicure and then a facial.. I think.

I don't think I am psychic, just that I can (sadly) predict what lowlifes some people are.

I have to go do the washing up (exciting life I lead) and then be ready to entertain DD - I thought I was going to have to pick her up, but DH has already gone, hence I am on here. Will be back later.

I see you are on about a man getting two women pregnant

My brother has got a half brother a DAY older than him.

Mum changed the locks and sold all his stuff and spend the money on herself.

All this spa talk!! Makes me want to juml in the bath with over flowing bubbles,hot chocolate and a magazine!!

Off you go xmas! Lots of radox!!!

Dont tempt me!! Im in bed and dont think ill be moving unless needed!!

I'm in bed too- I shan't be moving unless I am rolled out!

:) waiting until 9/10 to go sleep then im i'll sleep through the night.

Got the mw tomorrow glad its just up the road no make up on for me it looks :)

Pfft I don't do make up anyway. I had all my checks today . I'll probably mumsnet whilst watching midwives on 2, then do the usual of waking every two hours for the loo

I do!! Got to look nice for the world!!

Feeling abit :( today saw my exs best friend is asda and he looked at me then my bump and i turned away held the tears in for the make up and didnt want to look a complete idoit in asda.

Glad that went okay!!

Oh my thats alot!!!!!!!!!!! I dont wake up in the night fingers crossed. Bet you are like not again..... lol [grins]

Oh yes, it's becoming normal now
That's how I get, I well up its not nice

Its shocking!! i only go once maybe walk into my door, start saying what the fuck are you doing! My mum must think im mad!

He had a good old stare i thought yeah you go tell him im BUYING the nappies not him.

The thing on bbc2 is about training midwifes? I tend no to watch them.

I get emotional and it makes me think ohfuck?!! LOL

I like the bbc one last week as I'd like to train to be a MW if it starts getting like one born every minute I turn off.
I haven't asked my ex for anything it's not worth it

I had a really bad conception with my DD, and I'm sort of thinking why on earth did i have a baby.

Im not phased by the father not wanting to know, as i have so much support. So thats not an issue.

The issues i am dealing with is: i have finished work, before i go back to uni in sept. I hate being at home with her all day, their is only so many places you can take a 10 month old and keep them entertained.

and also slightly annoyed at myself for having a baby. So its all fun, here...

I watched it last week too!! I was laughing saying oh it fine mum and the women couldnt break the womens waters how point on the spot must that be!!

The girl with the wonky teeth seems more bothered about the babys and looking around than doing the work??

Im so amazed how a person can come from one egg and sperm my mum said not one of these's LOL i started giggling.

Yeah i hate one born every minute.

I haven't since we had an argument ages ago, stull struggle got paid £225 all i have to my name is 9p in one day.. i didnt look in baby shops i promise :)

Oh no Kate, do you think you have PND?

This makes me all nervy about birth! We have a midwives thread over on tv forum now

Maybe its to much at once?

I think you might need to go see a GP?

Going work then uni and a 10 month? Might need a break from it all.

kate you need notgeoff & Skye

stops for yet another widdle

Gosh I'm in a surprisingly good mood!!!

Thanks Pickles! Hi Kate!

Do you have friends with kids that you hang out with or could leave your DD with?

Is there a Sure Start centre near you? They quite often run courses and fun days etc.

No, its not PND pickles even though it sounds like it. Im just fed up, i find it really boring, it just seems like an endless cycle of Changing nappies and feeding.

I does sound like a lot xmas and i have just gone from 12 hour days to doing nothing, when i go back to uni, ill be glad of a change of pace, really.

Hello Skye My good friend and DD's godmother asked if she could have DD for 2 days whilst she had annual leave (she's childless) + my dad had a day off during the week, so i had 3 days off last week + endless weekend support. I know how lucky i am to have that, which makes it better.

Im just moaning because I'm bored, i know how lucky i am and i have lots of things to look falward too.

It does get better as they get older, but be careful, you spend your time wishing that they could walk, then you cant wait for them to talk, then when they are 4 and running around talking nonstop and driving you crazy you wish they were a baby sat there doing nothing again, lol

Im glad that you have some support. Is there any work you could do while you are waiting to go back to uni?

Oops sorry! Was busy dealing with DD this morning who wanted to draw. Then she wanted to eat the crayons. Then she wanted her toy dog to draw and got really cross when he wouldn't hold the crayon. Then she wanted a drink. Then she got cross because she couldn't walk around the room with the drink. Etc.

Kate what are you going to Uni to study? It is great that you have a support network to help with childcare. I had to rely heavily on family to help out with childcare when I was in the last semester of my final year because the days the course ran were all lumped together. (The previous term it had been every other day which was more manageable). But it was do-able. And I got a good pass. And I'm going back to do a masters now. And I'm old.

So, I guess I am saying, it is possible.... :)

at notgeoff and the dog not holding the crayon. know it well. Mummy, Mickey Mouse keeps falling off the chair, make him sit up and eat his tea. Mummy, I cant fit my scooter through this tiny gap, so now I have to throw it across the room. Mummy I want a drink, no I dont want that cup I wanted the pink one (queue floods of tears and wails)........

Exactly, Skye. DD is only 18m and is already well on the way to being a diva. Today she is overtired and has been crying deliberately to get her own way. At the moment though she is sleeping, hence I am on here.

It was 'fun' trying to hold onto DD trying to climb on me (sitting on the sofa), stop the crayons being knelt on, hold the colouring book, and try to hold the dogs paw to get him to colour in.

Today's words have been 'Nooooooo' and 'Toast'. Endlessly!

Thankfully today DH is off work so we're out shopping a bit later for bits n bobs. Lunch first though, so hopefully after a long sleep and a bit of food, DD will be in smiley, cheerful mode, which to be fair, she usually is.

Kate I have just thought - if you're finding it tough at home with a 10m old, are there any local groups you could go to? Our local paper advertises a lot (though at present they don't fit with my schedule), and our local library runs different events daily during term-time for under-5's.

Pickles how're you doing today?

How is everyone today?

skye & notgeoff your days sound action packed, fun and tiring!!
I'm good today thank you had a lovely massage. Not easy with a bump but lovely though x
