Well title says it all really. Not sure why i'm writing it on here but she has helped me so much today emotionally and I hope to heaven my girls will feel the same about me when I they are older

Well I have been seriously struggling with the idea of having a 3rd child and ending up alone again. I have been up one end of the scale of being over the moon about this baby and then at the other with "oh my god I will not be able to cope" and going in to a bad depression about it and being addiment that i'm not having the baby which then breaks my heart. Another of this issue is the fear of my partner doing what my ex husband has done with my dd's and basically abandon them (see's them a couple of weeks a year) although DP and I will be living 100's of miles apart anyway.

Anyway I had a really bad flip out this morning after obsessing lastnight about not coping and on visiting my mum this morning she got the brunt of it which was very thoughless of me as she is a foster carer and had her charge there. Anyway I left in floods of tears feeling alone although I knew it wasn't right or my mothers fault any of this.

Well my wonderful mother has just popped round and gave me a huge cuddle and kiss, then handed me a bag with the contents of 1 tiny baby gro in it and said "thats what I think you should do and you know I will be there for you"

Bloody hell i'm such a soft ass am sat here crying because I can't belive how lucky I am to have her in my life...

Ahhh blummin hormones Grrr

Not sure if anyone will read this like I said before just wanted to get it out.

Oh how lovely, my mum's not around anymore, but I hope I can be like your mum to my DDs.

Blo*dy hormones indeed. Now I'm welling up! Being preganat with my first (28wks on Monday) has made me realise just how much our Mum's have done and do for us lucky enough to have them around.

I've had a couple of spells in hospital recently and my Mum has come cross country to iron and walk the dogs - I didn't like to tell her I don't normally bother ironing sheet bless her as she looked so happy to be of help!

Congrats - everything will work out just fine I'm sure.

Happy ranting!

HuwEdwards so so sorry about your mum not being here. xx

It's for people like yourself that I know I truely am blessed and for the people who haven't had the best of times with their mothers also. My mother was abandoned by her mother at the age of five

It's true what they say, that you never stop being a mummy, no matter how old your babies are.

She sounds lovely megansoph!

And so nice to read a thread praising Mums instead of moaning about them (some people really do seem to have dradful mothers). Mine is about as much use as a chocolate teapot but as we live in diff countries it is Ok as I don't have to depend on her!

So - are you PG or thinking about it?

(I am still waiting!)

megandsoph · 01/11/2006 14:32

Yep well and truely up the spout BudaBeast, 11 weeks on Sat.

I can't belive you are still waiting! When was the treatment if you don't mind me asking??

Has the cystitous (sp?) sorted itself out yet?

Complete change of subject I know hehe

Sorry about your mum

HI - Congratulations!

You'll be fine!

Treatment was 2 weeks ago so get results next Wed.

Cystitus OK - little flare ups occassionally but think it's irritation from pessaries I am inserting 3 times a day every day - great fun!

Was back at dentist on Friday for an hour and a half having a root canal -was bloody painful afterwards.

I shouldn't be mean about my Mum really - she is not much use but doesn't interfere. She is a real "nervy" type and suffers from depression and just doesn't do much. But she loves us and we love her most of the time!!!

megandsoph · 01/11/2006 20:58

Well I seriously hope everything works out and you are told you have a new bundle to look forward to!!

They are nasty those root canals yeuch!! I HATE the dentists. May have to go myself soon, a molar has been aching a fair bit all day

They do suprise you sometimes don't they? I was telling my mum how grotty I felt and miserable because my house is filthy and I don't have the energy to clean it and she said that she would come and visit me one evening (she lives 2.5 hours away) and clean my house for me! Bless! It's was a huge surprise as she is not like normal mumsy mumS usually!

I'm sorry for people who don't have their mums around, it must really make it harder when you are pregnant and need advice []
