@ Turbochick, what are your parents like normally? they might be really happy for you, especially when they see how much support you have from your other half as well.
sorry caprilicious only saw your reply there, i am very close to my parents, especially my dad.. mind you, apart from my boyfriend being as sweet and as lovely as can be, my dad always finds a fault in any boyfriend ive ever had, just because like most dads can be, he will never totally see a mr.right for me, maybe its part of being his first daughter, hes not like that with my sister whos 20 months younger than me! so he will go mad at me, and then start slagging and slating my boyfriend in areas that are unneccesary which i am dreading to hear.. and then the last thing he will say is.. ''i dont want him at our house again.. i dont wanna see him again'' or something scary like that... hahaha im trying not to think about that freaky bit, mmm just eating a bowl of fruit with natural yogurt now, lovely

@ Turbochick, thats a really good start that you're close to your parents.
Its the same in my family there's just my sister and I, being the eldest of the two I think they were a little stricter with my whereas my lil sister would get away with murder :rolleyes:
Your dad's going to be concerned for you and he might want to throttle your boyf alright at first but I'd said your boyfriend knows there's going to be a certain bit of aggro and will be prepared for it.
Just tell him whatever your dad says in the heat of the moment to try not take personally it might just be a shock for your dad to know his little girl is all grown up.
He might be really chuffed at being a grandad though and although being concerned that your young still be happy for you once the shock settles in.
@CathyMoran, I'm sorry for your loss last year & your previous ones also, it must still be raw only a year on but hopefully time will make it that little easier to deal with.
Sounds you you're having a miserable week with your health too
are they able to give you much for the anaemia?
Its horrible I'm prone to it myself although only mild and thankfully it hasn't been an issue during pregnancy as I just can not take any form of iron at all which doesn't help!
How far along are you now? Oh best of luck with the 3D scan they're absolutely amazing!!! Hopefully it'll perk your spirits up a bit too, its hard trying to stay positive when you're feeling so poorly.
My best friend is pregnant at the moment too, she's been signed off work and on complete bed rest since 8 weeks :eek: poor girl is getting serious cabin fever stuck in doors all day!
@Das Kitty - I feel your pain, I hate people trying to smother me with kindness doing things for me.
I know it sounds really unappreciative but I'm a fiercely independent person and one of the things I've found difficult about pregnancy is not being able to do certain things for myself.
But when people start treating me like an invalid it drives me nuts!!0 -
I cant take iron either, which is very fustrating, I also have small stomach capacity due to an oesophagectomy so it gets akward eating but I have the most wonferful husband in the world and that makes all the difference...he knows that I like the reasurance of him saying that baby is OK when I wake up at night though we both love that he can feel him kick when I am hugging him and he can feel his heartbeat when he is hugging me.caprilicious wrote: »CathyMoran, I'm sorry for your loss last year & your previous ones also, it must still be raw only a year on but hopefully time will make it that little easier to deal with.

The scan was wonderful, he has the best features of the two of us.0 -
That's brilliant having the support Cathy, it must make all the difference in the world.
Its lovely when baby starts kicking so much that your partner can feel it to. My hubbie still finds it funny when he's awoken by a kick in the back from babs when I'm cuddled into him!
Was the scan very clear? did it take long to get a clear view of baby?
I was talking to a girl yesterday that had to go back 3 times before they got pics of baby as baby was facing the wrong direction the first two times and wouldn't co-operate by moving forward!
Its amazing being able to see the features so clear and being able to pick out features from you both on baby 0 -

Hey Turbo
My dad is the extreeme believe me - From dad I got married my dad refused to acknowlege him or speak to him - He say it as someone taking his baby away.. ( Hes a freak , believe me) Then when we seperated if I said black he said white, now its every time he refuses to take kids etc its oh well maybe he was working.. I told ya total nut !
Just on your nightmare - I had one last night I got locked into a Mcflurry machine & someone threw kings crisps in on top of me... King crisps turned my stomach the last few days.... me thinks I had too much cheese before bed time lol
Anyway good luck at doc tomo - it will all be fine...... & PS ill have that full makeover anytime lol0 -

Don't feel guilty though- just think of whats best for you, and whats best for baby.
If you are feeling concillatory down the road- you could drop them a card or something- perhaps a grandchild might be the icebreaker that mends broken bridges?
Thanks
I'm sure it'll all work out somehow. The only thing I know for sure is that I can't deal with it all now.0 -

I found out the sex, mainly because I wanted to avoid "it" and be able to visualise the baby more because I was feeling pretty detached from the whole thing. I got mostly gender neutral stuff anyway as we plan to have more, I did get a blue Moses basket though as it was a fraction of the price!
A sweep is done when you're overdue to encourage labour and avoid chemical induction. Basically doc sweeps a gloved finger around the inside of the cervix detaching the amniotic sack from it. This releases a chemical in your body that can signal labour to start. He told me he'd do one next week and was surprised I wanted one now as people usually hate having them. I feel like a sack of potatoes right now LOL0 -
Well thats my thinking aswell ..Surely it creates more of a bond if you can look imagine your lil un ..
So im defo going to find out ..March the 1st fingers crossed
Oh the sweep doesnt sound that sore ..More uncomfortable id imagine..lol everyone woman whos ever had one done is now laughing saying this girl has no idea what shes in for ha0 -

It is sore, but short. Having period type pains now as well. It's well worth it though to avoid having to be induced, so hopefully.0 -
