12-24 weeks pregnant (part 3)

Sounds fab

I am sitting here in floods of tears watching, of all things, an episode of 16 and Pregnant! It is something I flick on now and then as it is funny trashy TV,..usually a girl and her boyfriend bickering ridiculously with each other. Well, this episode is very different - a girl who is basically being forced to give her child up for adoption. It is horrible and I can't stop crying imagining carrying a baby for nine months and delivering and then giving it away! I know often for lots of people it is the right decision and very admirable, but this is just so sad

Oh, just realised this will be a tea heavy weekend. I bet the Irish think our worrying about caffeine in tea is a horrible overreaction! I'll just have to do what my mum does - makes endless cups of tea but never seems to actually drink them.

Daisie - step away from daytime TV! You are in no fit emotional state for it. Next thing there will be one of those sad telemovies where someone dies of cancer after winning the lottery but losing the love of their lives.

Don't make me have to arrange an intervention!!

Haha I know! I think I am not fit for anything more taxing than something nice and gentle involving antiques. I may have just sat here clutching a babygro sobbing for 5 minutes!

Oh god, the news is on and they are talking about little monkeys dying in forests in Borneo...and they have big, sad eyes...oh nooooo

Enjoy t2d!

Daisi, is it Caitlin on the show? I have seen a lot of the early seasons lol. What is really sad about Caitlin and her boyfriend giving their baby up is that they are probably the most sensible of all the couples and could probably do a better job. Their family is just so trashy though. I hope they are still together now.... I think I might look if they are

Aww an happy ending

No it is not...I think her name was something like Lori. She was adopted herself. In the end she came round to the idea but her boyfriend never did and he wanted to keep the baby She had wanted to keep it too but her parents basically said they would not support her. Then there was a harrowing scene where they were in the hospital and she was sitting there holding her baby just sobbing her heart out. Tbh I was shouting at the cameraman 'what on earth are you doing filming this?! Get out!' Made me feel very uncomfortable to watch.

Aww, that is really sad. I can not remember a Lori.
I find myself crying at OBEM now when I never used to. It is all just so precious. I keep telling non-parent friends about all the feelings and how it really is something you can not describe but is just amazing. I think I am most surprised in my DH, I expected Dads emotions to come after the birth.

A bit of a waste of time. He said it was completely out of concern that he sent the message and would rather be having this conversation now than if anything had happened. Grrr I will just grit my teeth for the next hour and 40 mins. TGIF!!! I have done nothing all day!! Just really do not have it in me.

I was worried I might start crying again but I was actually very strong and assertive. Surprised myself

I feel better now I have spoken to him though.

hi all,
managed to get a grumpy doctor to prescribe gastro resistant aspirin to give it a go. He did suggest that maybe I should just buy it over the counter don't you just love the nhs sometimes.


ended up coming home early. had bad stomach cramps from lunchtime onwards - combination of the lovely trapped wind and constipation which moved somewhat today. Since coming home I can definitely say most of the problem has been wind but I do still have a sharp pain in my right hand side, and have been struggling to keep my eyes open.
