AM - don't really have anything to add except that I agree about Christmas. What matters most at that time of year is feeling safe and having people who love you around. Aston will appreciate what you've done and the novelty factor of a new place will help, but more than anything, the lack of fear will really make it for him. Be strong hon. No one is judging you. I think you're amazing for even thinking about what your options are, just hope you can find it in you to do the right thing for your family - whatever you believe that to be.

Bit of an 'exciting' day yesterday. Imogen went flying head first into a doorframe and ended up going to hospital by ambulance. :eek: I wasn't sure whether to call them so rushed her outside to see the builder and he was pretty much dialling before I'd finished explaining what had happened. Luckily she's fine and so tough you wouldn't even know she'd had a bang from looking at her. She has the slightest of bruises and a bit of a scratch. Ambulance man said she was lucky not to have split it open, but the great big blue/purple dent in her head was bad enough.

Hoping for a quieter day today. I feel much less sick than I did at the weekend, although am shattered cos Imogen is waking up in the night at least once and yelling for me/OH. Think she's just unsettled cos of the building work and got in the habit of waking.

Can we stop talking about Crunchies pls? I NEED one now but she's just fallen asleep so no chance of getting to the shop!

erm - I have just eaten my way through probably a pineapple and a half before I remembered that there is something to do with pineapple bringing on labour...

please tell me I will be okay.

Don't worry, apparently you would need to eat about 4 whole pineapples to get enough of the labour chemical;)

I was going to eat 2 whole ones _pale_

I am still only 26 weeks - you don't think you need less when you are not full term do you?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help, I'll be back a bit later, but off now to do a bit of sorting out and research on my options, plus Aston wants to have a go on the Cbeebies website, he's supposed to be ill, but hey at least it's educational!

Mamas and Papas have a 10% sale this weekend so if you want baby stuff now would be good. http://www.mamasandpapas.co.uk/

Re pregnancy clothes. I'm 7 weeks today and just about to burst out of my skinny and normal-fit jeans :eek: Think my muscles have just gone "oh yeah, we remember this. Aaaand reeeelax!" I have to dress pretty carefully (no more layered fitted tops & tank tops for me) cos girls would pretty soon suss what's going on.

Thanks sami - you gave me the courage to google it...you know sometimes when you just don't dare???

Babycentre says 7 whole pineapples - even I can't eat that many

Aggghhh I need to talk to someone who wont go running to SS!
Basically he's abusive, aggressive and just a nasty person, then sometimes he can be lovely.
Practically every agency you can think of are watching me now because of this and I just feel like a failiure.
My mum is getting peed off now coz she says it's like listening to her own story, the lies, cheating, abusive voilent behaviour when they get caught out etc.
My poor son aswell, dont gt me wrong he'd never lay a finger on Aston, never has but it obviously affects him.
I know I should kick him out but I cant, he wont go, I've tried, or he comes back and puts on the guilt trip, I know what he's doing but for some stupid reason wont do anything about it.
I really wish I could just go away, I was offered a refuge but I dont want to uproot my son and be all on my own so far away from Mum.
Now aswell I'm facing eviction from my house after Christmas because of rent arrears, and I was advised by shelter that I can apply to a different council on DV grounds, but I'm scared that I'll be isolated.
I just dont knwo what to do anymore girls, I'm now sat here in tears, please dont judge me

Oh hun, I'm sorry it's all gone wrong again

How close does your Mum live? Is there any way of you and Aston going to stay with her for a few days just so you have time to think about what you are going to do?

Don't let twitbag make you feel guilty, what have you got to feel guilty of? Not letting him get his own way all the time?

I don't know if you are scared of him and that's why you won't tell him to go (for good), but if that is the case, you should get professional help as there is no way SS will take Aston from you if it appears that you are putting him and bump first.

I don't know what else to suggest hun, you just take care of yourself, Aston and Warren xxx
