Hi! I've been meaning to come back on here all day and pesky kids, pesky DP and pesky housework stopped me grrrr
I had no idea about your m/c (((hugs)))
As you found out #1 once you stop thinking about it it always happens and as my mum always says #2 babies come along at the right time
Morning sickness is just poo! Have you tried#3 ginger? #4 But it'll pass soon enough. #5 You wait til it's born, that's when the real trouble starts!
(well managed 5 there, have tidied my cliche book away, ie. thrown under the sofa, so I'm having to think these up as I go along! Not to worry though, another 6 months left on this thread, I wonder how many I'll be able to fit in by then? hmmm)
Towards the end of pregnancy with dd, I used to feel like a huge walking womb! Everyone at work would ask me about it or say something pregnancy related, and it would usually be the same comment or question, just asked by 50 different people. I used to have bets with dp abou what it would be each week
The tired thing sucks too but then when you think about what your body is doing it's no wonder it's knackering. I used to have conversations with DP that just involved me saying "There's a baby in there!"
DP Yeah
Me But there's an actual baby in there
DP Yeah I know
Me But you don't seem to get what I'm saying, There. Is. A. Baby. In. There!
OMG about DH's paternity leave! Do you live near your family? Will there be someone who can help you out when you get home? Poor DP too, (but your little one will be so proud of Daddy when they go to school, my dad's a policeman and I used to win all arguments with "Yeah, well, my dad's a policeman so he'll arrest your dad!")
ROFL at the thought of you giving birth in the police station! Surely they'll have to let him come home when you go into labour though? One of my friend had a home birth, her 1st baby too, and it went really well. She had a birthing pool too. Have you thought that far ahead yet?
No wonder you are terrified if you are dreaming of giving birth to fully grown adults, a little baby should be piece of cake in comparison though! When I was having ds1 I used to dream that the nurse would hand him to me to take home and his head kept falling off (in a non gruesome sort of way) I blame my nan as she kept telling me how important it was to hold babies' heads properly
Everything here in sunny Wales good at the moment. Thankfully the cream is working on dd (or maybe it's just because I've wiped 8 weeks worth of snot off her face ) It was awful her rash, old ladies would stop, chat with ds2, have a look in the pram and then recoil and desperately try to think of something to say other than OMG what an ugly baby!
We need to synchronise our watches if we're ever going to be on MN at the same time. PMSL that the internet is the way of the future, me and you would be quicker if we had to write a letter, walk to the post office and then queue up on pension day for a stamp
