That's very interesting because Alice seems to have come up with the idea of sharing all by herself too. She was particularly concerned about the baby having toys and is planning to share hers. She's also expecting to share a room and look after it in the night - she's told me I'll need to express milk so she can feed the baby milk from bottles.

Wow she must have been listening to some adult conversations re expressing then, hopefully you can explain that at night she needs to be sleeping not doing mummy duties . Bless her hopefully she can stop being concerned when she realises the baby will not need her toys straight away although she will obv make a lovely big sister if shes already worrying about the wellbeing of her new little sister/brother (sorry cant remember what flavour your having)

ds is happy to share everything but food lol. I do think he is expecting the baby to be a full sized play ready boy I hope hes not too disappointed.

Hello ladies!

Back from midwife appointment. She must have been having a bad day last time as she was LOVELY this time. We found baby's heartbeat quite easily, all of my blood test results were fine (i now have a stack of sheets stuck in the folder, they took 10 tubes of blood in total) and she's told me that the assistant midwife will contact me for extra support and perhaps to join some groups. Yay!

Also, found out that the classes offered on the NHS here are NCT classes so the same as the ones you pay for. :O Also got my healthy start form and stuff so everything seems to be going well. Also then grandmother bought some bibs and another cuddle robe in boots so good day overall.

Oh and most importantly, I got a new pee pot.

wahoooo glad shes back to being a midwife and not a midwitch :j

Glad everything has gone well today and that you luckily got shiny new pot no chasing mouldy wee round car parks for you :rotfl:

I can't remember how it came up but I think I'd told her about expressing a few weeks earlier. (Although she does listen to and take everything in so OH and I frequently have conversations with half the words spelled so she doesn't know what we're talking about.) She is very thoughtful about the baby - when I was going to be admitted to hospital I explained to her about a drip beforehand and her first concern was whether it would be okay for the baby and when the Doctor ran through my initial treatment plan on admission she was most put out that she had only talked about me and not the baby.

I don't know what to do with OH. Turns out he didn't go to his father's at the beginning of the month, he spent the weekend out partying with friends. So I'm thinking that this is the end of us. Not sure what to do now.

SusanC_2

I should add that she's absolutely mad about babies. She's been desperate for a baby sibling for at least a year and all her cuddly toys are her babies. She's always feeding/changing/bathing them or pushing them in pushchairs or carrying them in slings.

:grouphug: Maybe with a baby on the way he didn't think you'd want him going on a weekend of partying so thought it better to lie? Obviously whatever the reason it's not good that he's lied but you probably need to talk it through with him.

He lies about everything. He made me believe that his father had extended his holiday in england (his father works in dubai) and he was seeing him just before he went. And I was supposed to go and see him and couldn't. He wouldn't have told me either. Just photos turned up on facebook.

I agree with Susan , maybe he thought you would be mad. He shouldn't have lied though. Talk to him and see why he didn't tell you.

*hugs*

Is the lying encouraged by his mother? Because it sounds like she's doing her best to come between you and he's not stopping her. Either way he needs a reality check. Not a nice way to treat anyone, much less your pregnant OH.
