Sparkly, you know in your heart what you want to do, and that's all that matters. My DH has only just started to accept and bond with this baby (although it was for my health reasons that he didn't want it). I'm 23 weeks. But whatever your OH decides, it won't affect how you feel. And we are always here for you to vent to.

MM, I love that first verse! Sums it all up nicely! Should be in the first page of all the baby books.

Sparkly I take it that this bubs wasn't planned then? At 23 he's still young and frankly being a dad is scary at any age - DH will be 34 this year and a first time dad and he's pooping his pants and Roo was planned...
If the baby wasn't planned then I think he's perfectly permitted to freak out a little - starting a family wasn't on his mind yet and somehow it's happened anyway so all of a sudden with finals and exams coming up all the plans he might have been dreaming up in his little head have just been forcibly pulled out from underneath him... It's not really surprising that he's reacting to it.
You are the one carrying the baby and that means YOU have the final say in what happens, but I would really try to give him a little time and be gentle with him instead of giving him an ultimatum of "Me and a baby or nothing buster!" because chances are with everything else he's likely to be stressing about that it will be too much for him and he'll bolt... I know I would if it were me and I'm the pregnant one in this household
It'll be tough with all the hormones but try to stay calm with him and discuss things somehow instead of issuing ultimatums and getting into arguments... You'll both end up saying things you'll regret if you end up shouting at each other

Loved the poetry mm, thanks for sharing

Love the poem MM, made me laugh out loud :beer:
sparkly hope this works out for you, dont be pressurized into doing something you will regret.

I have my scan in the morning with my consultant. I will be having one every Tuesday. Hopefully everything will be the same and I will be allowed to come back home.

Good luck for tomorrow MrsM. As long as you keep taking it easy, you should be OK to still be at home - much more relaxing than lying in a hospital bed !!

oh forgot to say felt really bad today SIL is getting married a week after my due date and of course pretty much means i cant go as i cant take a week old to london but she telling me she wants me to meet the rest of the family and all that and getting really happy about it ... we've told her a few times that we probably wont be able to make it feel right guilty about it though shes such a lovely person and all she wants is to have all her family at her wedding ... told OH for having awkward timing sperm :rotfl: x
