  • I have never had the 'was I planned' conversation with my Mum! And I don't intend to either :p.

    Yep SB it's Tuesday, we haven't decided whether to find out or not!!

    I am just so scared that something is wrong and I don't mean that to sound insensitive to mums and babies on here who have been/are going through a lot. I just mean it from my own experience of ds2's scan where they thought he has Edward syndrome and would certainly not live past a few months old, if he survived long enough to be born. The couple of weeks from scan to amniotic and results were the most sickening I've ever been through..... I don't want to go through that again. When I had my scan with kai I was shaking the whole time and felt sick with fear until it Was all over!!!!

    Thanks Sami, didn't realise bb stuff came direct!
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Elle, no, her GP refused to treat her and she went for a termination. He said that he could not on his conscience treat a woman who deliberately conceived a child knowing that it would leave 3 others without a mother. I'd have sympathy if it was an accident, but she admits that she tricked her husband (told him she had a coil) and knew she would have to have a termination but she just had too. Although... she also swears it was a girl but called the baby Michael but never told anyone and had a breakdown when we called DS1 Michael, so who knows what to believe with her. She told SIL that she thought she was pregnant a few years ago, but she was sterilised after the termination and had been through the menopause already.

    Oh yeah, and the only reason she went to a doctor was because she had a seizure (due to the brain thing) and they tested her at the hospital. She had kept the pregnancy a secret. Wasn't that far on though.

  • My brothers and I were all planned - I'm apparently the result of my mum getting drunk on whiskey Christmas '75.

    Night all I have work again - boo!

    Ooo - you must be born very close to when I was born (early September 1976?)


    I was a gift from the Gypsies!!

    Mum had 3 miscarriages, one of which was quite late on, and her and dad had decided that they would stop trying. A gypsy came to the door and mum gave her some old curtains and the gypsy said 'you will get what you want soon enough' and about a week later she found out she was pregnant with me :D


    Incidentally, because of the miscarriages she was told to sleep on her front throughout the whole of her pregnancy because it made babies stick better...and I did :D


    Off to a big empty bed on my lonesome :(

    See you all tomorrow, take care and thank you very much for today xxx
