Feeling v.emotional today, hate my ex soooooooooooo much for putting me in this position while he's swanning off living it up, especially as it was him who convinced me we were ready for this baby. Just don't know why the people who should be helping me are not interested it's not like i'm a b!tch who has chased them all away.

Hey, in time he'll be the one missing out on seeing his baby growing up. Yes, you and child will miss out too, but any parent who doesn't want to see their children is the ones who miss out in the long term, especially when older and child turns around and tells grovelling parent to go forth and multiply - and I know all about mothers who leave and want nothing to do with their children, and kids who would tell them to go take a hike, even if they did return now.

Not sure if you want to go down CSA route, but if you do, I wish you all the very best in taking his sorry backside for what your child is due.

I know no-one from here can physically be with you, but everyone is here to help in any way they can.

Best of luck with it all and remember those in the hospital helping you with the baby are there for you and offspring.

I don't know if you are religious, but most hospitals have Chaplain's nowadays, that you can call upon to come and visit you and discuss anything, so don't feel alone.

Where do you live, Beenie? I know a couple of doulas and if you're nearby to them I can pass on information if you want.

CSH I think the potatoes can be parboiled and then thrown in the turkey tray while the turkey's resting and you're doing other veg and gravy?

Thats how I usually do the roasters but theres no chance that I can fit enough for 9 people in! Hoping to cook them xmas eve and do some kind of reheat on the day, just need to find the best way. Lots of peeling later I think.

I didn't realise German effiency didn't stretch to hospital care, I'm actually quite shocked!!

beenie, I was supposed to be going to Darlington this weekend, for some reason I think you live near there? I could of been your birth buddy, not that I'd be much use, I always have snacks on me though :rotfl: I couldn't go because Keira is Ill

awww Beenie :grouphug: have you spoken to your MW, surestart or the NCT? there might be someone who could help. Do you really want/need to go to hospital for the birth? maybe a HB would be simpler? you'd get 2 MWs to yourself, Chris slept through my labour, he only woke up when OH went in because he'd fell out of bed and he could hear voices and your DS is older so could he be trusted to stat put in his room or where ever if you make up a lunch box for him so he only needs to come out to pee

Beenie, Why not give the delivery suite a wee ring and tell them you are having to birth alone and you are a bit scared? They might be able to arrange to get a student to stay with you or maybe if they are quiet make sure they have a MW that can stay with you the full time?
