Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

zcrat, ive stopped doing the dishes since thursday and refused to do them, he had no chance. He is quite clean tho, but of course as his mum used to do everything, it can take a while for him to do things, even when i ask.
re carpet, since we moved into this property is has never been cleaned, over a year, and the cat that we were given wasnt really tray trained.. so after trying to get the place clean, at 10 wk pregnant i could not longer stand the smell, tho no one else says to smell it.

Millie, happy u had good news !
littlemog i keep having hormonal meltdowns too, but oh is such wimp that reacts like he is the one pregnant !!

It's good (in a way) to hear that it's not just my OH. He just doesn't seem to see things around him that need to be done. He is another who never had to lift a finger at home, so it's going to take a while to get him trained up

Oh, feel bad for missing you opee! Welcome, is this your first? How far along do you think you are?

Minted, my scan is at midday tomorrow which is a bit of a pain workwise as being a teacher I can't just book the afternoon off. So, tomorrow will look like this - leave town A where I live and where hospital is 5mins from my house, drive 27 miles to work in town B, teach period 1 and half of period 2, drive another 27 miles back to town A for scan, have scan, drive 27 miles back to work in town B, teach period 5, drive 27 miles back home.... Never mind, the scan will be worth it!

Zcrat, they seem to be leaving it late to give you a scan date, I would definately give them a call. And as for your OH :eek:. I would get really pedantic I think and do my share of everything and no more e.g. only wash and iron my own clothes, only wash up dishes I had used, only hoover my side of the bed, etc. Maybe then he will see what he should be doing?

Morocha, the youngest parent I know of at my school is a one of the boys in my form's mum - he is 15 and his mum is 30.

Millie, so glad that your scan went well! How lovely to have got an early peek at your little beany!

MrsGeee, that ebay one looks a bargain. Go for it I say! I have a thing for Silver Cross! I think it is because my mum has always said that "Silver Cross is the Rolls Royce of the pram world" :rotfl:

Hi i'm new to the thread, so hi everyone!

I'm 6 weeks 3 days (i think) with baby number 1, got my 1st midwife appointment next week.

morocha

opee !! Welcome to the thread, please tell us a bit of you... ! sorry i;ve missed you too !
Walby, what a day but you get to see baby !!! I have no date yet.
My DD is 5, since she came to the new school at 3.5 yo, the older girls, i think they were 11/12, took me to a side and asked me who i was and how old am I, when i told them my age they said, no way !! We thought you were 18/19 !.they still look amazed i think it is because the other mums are much older than me
millie, we all seem to have OH's that can do with a bit of training.

morocha

hi Ellie, welcome !!!
You are having your app quite soon, i had my first one at 9 wk.

ellie1788

yea i rang directly through to the liverpool womens when i found out using the early access line and they gave me an appointment for the 18th july, its just a booking appointment, blood tests and questions but im still nervous.

Morocha - Ignore the age thing! I try to....I will only be 24 when DS is born... I'm definitely not a young mum in our area but I'm sort of in limbo with my age (where I live you have your baby at 17/18/19 or at 35-55) so feel like the odd one out when i'm at the hospital and people don't know how to take me because im not their typical 'chavvy teen mum' or their typical 'middle-aged and middle-class frequently spotted in the coffee shop mummy'.

My parents were only 23 when I was born and they certainly weren't the youngest...but it was very typical of the area we lived in at the time to have started your family by 19 and still be producing kids into your 40's.

My mum will be 47 when DS is born and me & OH keep calling her Granny because she hates it and it makes her feel 'old' as she says!!!

Hi Ellie and congratulations!!

And wonderfull news Millie, you must be so relieved to see the scan.

Thanks for all the OH stories - I'm glad I'm not the only one! Few suggestions of leaving him to do his own stuff - this is the man that wore to work (we are farmers so it's not as if it's an office job) the only pair of jeans that were left in the drawer. They had the most massive hole in between the legs I have ever seen. He was working at my Mum and Dad's that day.

Dad says its a good thing he's already given his permission to marry by then otherwise he'd have said no to such a hobo!

MrsGeee

Thanks for the advice guys... im defo going with getting a silver cross (and a cheapo folding for the bus) was just a bit worried people might think I was a bit odd but glad to see still loads of people who like them as much as me

Zcrat - My hubby is useless... in fact he does NOTHING in our house apart from dishes and "man stuff" with screwdrivers and drills haha. If I went on strike I do think we would end up with Rats before he would do anything haha
