    It might not be planned, and your worries are understandable, even when they're planned you worry how you will manage don't you. Glad your pleased deep down.

    Sea, I've only just read your news, congratulations!!! I know it's not the easiest of circumstances, but you do sound quite pleased about it underneath it all, so I'm really happy for you.

    I'm sure the financial side of things must be a worry, but as I'm sure you'll know from your other two, somehow you will manage.

    You know where I am if you need to talk - I'm a bit obsessed with babies and pregnancy so will happily listen for hours!!!

    Hi Sea ...congratulations..what a shock!!!...explains the tiredness...please don't make you're decisions based on OHs feelings as you don't know whether you will still be with him....you have to think of you and your children...you have to do whatever makes you happy.....everything will work out eventually...do not worry about the DMP...I'm sure they often have to be altered due to changes.

    Thanks - I am pleased as it is quite amazing really, isn't it!! lol

    But then all the practical matters hit home and I need to work out how on earth this is going to work. Also I keep having one posters post on the thread- wait for babies or something like that - who said it was selfish having babies when soooo in debt. :( Am panicking that I'm going to make things worse for my two. But oooh...little baby!!!!

    At least it explains all this sleeping!! - which started about 4 days after I conceived! At least I have no doubts about dates lol.

    Sea, what a surprise! And what lovely news too, though not to brush all your worries and problems under the carpet. Make sure your OH is sober when you discuss it.

    Having debts and small children isn't ideal so make sure you get the best possible maternity deal. Which means get on with that form, my girl!

    I'll be working tonight once I've finished packing the car for my bootie tomorrow so around to chat if you are. I wouldnt blame you if you had an early night though!

    Once again - lovely news about the baby - well done, and what efficiency, just once in six months eh?

    Oh Sea, I have only just read your news. congrats!!!

    Had to laugh at the telling your mum bit, I was scared to tell my mum and I was 41 and having my fourth!!

    My little one has been brought up on everything second hand and we throw her the odd scap now and then, but I can honestly say she is so pleasant natured and makes life positively beautiful.

    We needed another DFW baby anyway. Good luck and look after yourself....
