Hiya everyone,

I'm pleased your bub is doing well GISI, lets hope something starts soon.

EA, why not save up for a bit then go to Fawcett Road in Southsea. It's full of second hand shops that sell EVERTHING!
We got this http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/442542/HOTPOINT-WMF740G
for £140 delivered with a years warrenty and it was only 3 months old :money: That might be better than getting one on credit.

Fawcett road is second hand heaven!
I need the washing machine ASAP is why im getting it on credit. Its will be paid off within 8 months i worked out.

Unless i can persuade my dad to lend me money to get one and i pay him back :money:

EA - point out to your Dad how you need a new washing machine so that his future grandaughter will have clean, fresh clothes, and I'm sure he'll see the logic lol

Evansangel

Well i emailed him asking if he would install it for me as he is a plumber, i used the "Its for your grandaughter and i wont have time to be trying to fix this old washing machine. She will love you for it as i will"

Hopefully he'll offer to buy it hhe

i have my first scan on thursday. i don't think i can go through with this. how do you all cope? i don't think i'm ready

gill_81uk

Sidekick - please try not to worry. What is it you don't think you can cope with? The scan itself or actually having a baby? I presume it wasn't planned from some of your other messages?

Mine was planned, but happened a bit quicker than expected. I still struggle to picture myself and DH with a baby. I've spoken to friends who have said exactly the same thing, but the minute that baby is put into your arms you're a mum and ready for it. I'm sure this will happen to you.

I think you'll find you feel very differently after your first scan as well. Big hugs and please talk to us about anything you feel you can't in the real world. Can often really help to get it off your chest.

it's everything after the baby comes. all the responsibility, the lack of freedom, i don't even want to live in this country! (i'm originally from aust, my bf is british) we have a lot to sort out and i'd rather just not go through with it, as selfish as that sounds.

gill_81uk

Only you can make that decision sidekick, but please think long and hard before you do as you don't want to do something that you will regret for the rest of your life.

Would you be able to move back to Australia before the baby is born and have it there? If you have a good support network then the lack of freedom doesn't need to be as drastic. Please remember that you have a lot of hormones flying all over the place at the moment so all of your problems will feel magnified and much harder to cope with than usual.

But now we are happy , we do have our ups and downs and also the problems with me a few weeks ago with being in hospital and not knowing if little man would pull through my op , , but we got through it , and finding out we were having a little boy was the best for Oh has he has 2 girls already and this just made hes day
