Congratulations Kat and family, it must have been very scary for her but with a beautiful dd I hope she feels happy and proud.
I guess with the holiday it is best to see how she in coping in say 2 weeks time, tell her not to put pressure on herself with that or the bf and enjoy the early days of motherhood.
Good luck and best wishes

Hi Katsmum, it would probably be better to postpone the holiday (especially with prem baby) but if she's determined, her doctor would be the one to advise.

I'm really concerned about Kat having to put up with the prejudiced, bigotted battleaxe in the next bed. Or we could say she's hormonal and hasn't had sex for nine months! (Surprised she ever did tbh.) Anyway this is something that Kat is likely to come up against again, so she might want to think through a failsafe way of handling it. The thing that worries me is Kat starting to believe these people. It will be better for her to switch off now and really try not to respond. I know the woman deserved it, I'm just thinking of what will be best for Kat in the longer term and honestly, that woman didn't deserve the attention. The opinions that count are Kat's, Ben's and her Mum's (prob her sister too.) No one else has a right to an opinion and Kat needs to remember that. Next time, maybe she should just smile and say, 'We'll see about that,' and just walk away if she can. That sort of reaction would make the perpetrator look really stupid and Kat look really cool. Kat's not a little girl anymore, she's a woman and I reckon she's going to be a good one and a good mum too. Don't let them get to you love!

(Sorry to be so opinionated when I've just said I don't have a right, but I offer it humbly.)

Thought id update yet again (you'll soon get sick of me if your not already!) yea um not it wouldn't just be her, it would be her and her bf, and as to the whole woman in hospital yea i see your point after what that woman said is when the bf went downhill and she lost confidence in herself and didn't believe she could do it and tought she was useless, been in to see her today and the bf is getting easier for her and shes feeling more confident now tullulah is doing grandly but i dont think i can spell her name properly as i seem to spell it differently everytime i spell it!(must get it right!) kat sends her love and says thank you for being so supportive during the time shes been on here. i spoke to her about the traveling thing and shes in two minds about it as she wants to see her aunt becuase shes going away for 5 months after kat leaves jersey so its a dificult one! but she does seem set on going which im woried bout so if any of you would like to text her and try and get the point across that it might not be the best of ideas! ask for her number and ill give you it shes had her phone on vibrate and been told off once lol! but keeps in on vibrate incase of any texts (doesnt like turning phone off incase a mate texts! mental!) Hope your all ok and how are all your pg's going so far?

HI, GLAD KAT & BABY R OK, SEND THEM BOTH MY LOVE. U CAN SEND HER NUMBER 2 BENDYBEX AT AOL DOT COM, I'D LIKE 2 GET IN TOUCH WITH HER 2!
WHEN DO U THINK THEY'LL BE ABLE 2 COME HOME?

lorna3586 · 24/08/2006 19:16

Hi, Ive joined this post abit late but just want to say how well Kats done. I had my ds last year i was 19 at the time so know what its like to get stick for the age thing. Also my friend got pregnant at 14 and gave birth at 15,her mum didnt know she was pregnant till 3weeks before she gave birth,it was a big shock. Her baby girl was going to be put up for adoption but as soon as my friend gave birth and saw her beautiful baby girl she knew she couldnt give her up. Shes nearly 5 now and is one of the most well brought up polite little girl you'll ever meet. It just goes to show that age isnt a facter as long as a baby is brought up surrounded by love attention and affection then they'll be happy and thats all that matters. And Kat should tell that woman that Kat and her little girl will have a wonderful relationship, because Kats younge when Tullula grows up they'll be like best friends which can only be a good thing. That woman doesnt know what she's talking about. How she can be so rude and nasty like that when she's just given birth herself i dont know, youd think she'd just be happy and focusing on her own baby.

Well done Kat. Sounds as though you love being a mummy! Glad you're both well and home. Don't forget to pop into the October thread from time to time and let us fat ladies know how you're doing.

cazboldy · 29/08/2006 17:09

Well done Kat and many congratulations. I will be 25 on thurs and am pg with number 5. I was 14 when I fell pg with ds1 and 15 two months before he was born. Luckily I haven't had to go through anything like what you have, but you seem very strong, and are very lucky to have such a supportive Mum. love to the little one. Lovely name. xxx

NomDePlume · 31/08/2006 18:40

KAT !!!! Blimey, you're a MUMMY . Huge congratulations to you and your family. I'm very impressed that she is home and you are at least able to give breastfeeding a go with a 28 weeker (sometimes they find it hard to latch at that age)! That is some going .

NomDePlume · 31/08/2006 18:40

(BTW, your mum is lovely)

Indith · 31/08/2006 19:21

Hi Kat just realised you were home! Glad to hear you are all doing well. All the best to you and your little family. xxx

MrsPrim · 21/09/2006 15:18

Im sorry but this whole thing sounds v suspicious to me.

You can not solely breastfeed at 28 week baby.

And to take it home less than 4 weeks later ?
[hmmm]

I really am doubting this one.

geordiemacminx · 21/09/2006 15:25

4 days....

MrsPrim · 21/09/2006 15:34

Oh yes home 4 days later !!

You cannot breastfeed a 2lb baby,
Its extremely likely that a 28 week baby cannot even breath for itself.

Why would someone go to this much trouble to troll?
Pathetic- this has really got me annoyed

glitterkitty · 21/09/2006 15:34

4 days later? I thought they had to be in incubator for a while- 28 weeks is VERY small...

CheesyFeet · 21/09/2006 15:40

Trip trap trip trap

I love a good troll outing

The perpetrator of this one should be hung, drawn and quartered, very bad taste, very upsetting for anyone who has had a preemie.

2plus2plus1 · 21/09/2006 15:47

My sentiments exactly. Thankyou Mrs Prim for being braver than me.

MrsPrim · 21/09/2006 15:49

Yes but I name changed!!
Im a wuss !

ismellarat · 21/09/2006 16:02

I have been thinking this for a while but didnt want to say anything as I havent been a member very long and everyone seemed to like her (him/it?!). She went to gret lengths with this one, even got her mum to post.. couldnt understand firstly why her mum would be posting keeping us lot informed of developments when her 14 year old daugther was in hospital giving birth to a 12 week premeture baby.. also.. "baby" was "born" on the wednesday weighing 2lb... and was allowed home the following monday.. now I'm no expert but surely the hospital would never allow a baby born that premature, weighing only 2lb home after a few days.. let alone to a 14 year old mother with no experience? No offence to other young mums meant, its just the facts of the matter.. and now, lone behold the baby is 4 weeks old.. has put on 3lbs or something and is brestfeeding... what has she been feeding it??? steak and chips????
