Hi all! I’m new here and also a first time mom-to-be. I’m excited to meet and learn from everyone in here about pregnancy and parenting.
Have a great day!

I am not a mum , but welcome to the site you will get lots of ( conflicting ) information on here about everything and anything , it is a great place to have a laugh and cry .
Do yourself a favour and make a mental or written note of the acronyms there are 100s on here .
here is some to get you started
AIBU am I been unreasonable
WWYD what would you do
DH dear husband , DD Dear daughter , DS dear son , Ddog dear dog etc
MIL Mother inlaw , FIL father in law , PIL Parents in law

IYSWIM if you see what I mean

when you are on the Talk page ( and other pages too ) there is a circle with downward arrow click on this and go to acronyms where you can find all the rest .
when you want to post a smiley us this [ not this ( , then write the word (see list below ) with no gaps then ] when you post it is should work so and join in

oh and if you find a thread interesting but don't have time to read it all hover your cursor over the bottom right of the last post you want to read and click so it says bookmarked , next you come on the therad it will take you back to there so you do not have to reread all the post you have already read .

And for your own safety , read the whole thread before you add a comment , or you could get some very curt reply's ! esp if its a question / statement that others have already asked / made

Hi everyone I don’t know whether it’s okay to post this but I’m 21 and 4 weeks pregnant. I found out last week so probably 5 by now. The guy that I’m pregnant for has a daughter and still lives with his child’s mother. Although he does say that they are no longer together. I’m really confused as to what to do because I’ve always said I personally could never abort and my heart tells me to love my child but my head tells me that this would be such a stupid thing to do, because I’m likely to end up a single mother. I’ve only been seeing him nearly 3months and he’s more on the abort side although he does say he will support any decision I make and that he loves me. I just feel really different about our relationship now. I’ve always wanted a child but I don’t know whether having his child is stupid or not.(my Family are very strict an I’m also in my 2nd year uni and aspiring to become a journalist) I know that no one can tell me what to do and that the decision is mine to make but I would really appreciate some advise or something please from someone

Hi I’ve just joined. I’m 36, been married 2 years next week and am desperate for s family. Hubby has agreed to begin ttc in new year but I’m really worried about it. Too old, too fat, main earner etc.

I’m edging towards looking in to adoption?

Hi! I've just joined mumsnet and was wondering if anyone who walks dogs in Teddington and uses the fenced in park on Broom Rd (opposite the "Rec") has seen that the park now has a sign on it banning dogs from that area! Does anyone have any suggestions for safe places to let young dogs off for a run! Look forward to hearing any ideas.
