Younger Couples Chat - Jan/Feb 2008

single mums all good my good mate sarah is a single mummy and it's just her and her lil man Bailey, she does just great! Her man called her and said i think u'll do better without me.......what a moron!
I finshed school yr 11 also, left home at 18 and got an apprentership in hair dressing but that fell through so i was just working at gloria jeans coffees and partying wayyyyyyyy..... 2 much and 2 hard, then i fell pg and have never had so much drive and reason 2 live and do well as i do now!
I work at a jewllers such on a saturday 2 give me some time and give Bella and her dad some time together. Ummmm...... cant think of much else right now.
R u doing this with ur mum and dad?

yep im glad i made the decision to be a single mum, no point having an a$$hole around!
yer getting preg really 'made' me as well, i was way too feral lol...
yep doing it with mum and step dad, shes been the best, couldnt have done it without her

yeah its amazing how much stronger u become once being pg, so did ur x want 2 b involved?
Parents, espeacially mothers really step up 2 the plate when THERE bubs r pg. My mum and i talk on a friendship level now and i love 2 hang out with her.
I never knew what i wanted 2 b or do and 4 some reason i ahd in my mind that it had 2 b a big money making career when really i was born 2 b a mummy and u sound as though u'll b the same. I wish Jayden would HURRY UP!!!

na he didnt wanna be involved, told me to get rid of it ect... f*** off im not gettin rid of MY baby just cuz he is an a$$hole...
yer my mum and i were close when i was little, then when i was a teenager i hated her LOL, but we get along GREAT now,i spend nilly everyday with her!
well im off to have this ctg thing and do some shopping, walking around, try to go into labour LOL, its doesnt work anyway...

ok best go have a shower....lol its a lazy day. Nice talking 2 ya and hopefully that lil man hurries up. Jess he's the only man u need in ur life!

Hey Ladies hows things?. Sorry i havent been in here much, have been spending a bit of time with MIL and feeding Sophie every 4hrs roughly & i bath her in the mornings, but if your up at 6am (qld time) i usually get on here and check on you guys so i can atleast try and keep up haha.

hey jo how r u feeling? Hows mummin treating u? How is the breast feeding going?

hey kass, i'm feeling very good thanks. Mumming is treating me very well so far ive been blessed with a dream baby. I'm not "breast" breastfeeding anymore attachment wasnt working out, but i'm still expressing and feeding Sophie that still no formula has touched her lips (not that it would be a bad thing).

Hiya all!!!

Just got back from the U/S. Only 1, so Nanna was wrong! Until we know what sex the baby is it will now v\be refered to as "The Jumping Bean" coz everytime they tried taking pictures it was jumping, and kicking and waving, and rolling over LOL. Then when they needed to do the head-tail measurement it rolled into a little ball and went to sleep, so they had to try and wake it up and stretch out enough to measure. LOL All is fantastic apparently & they did some 3D camera thing as well. Due date is spot on apparently. There are pics in my gallery.

yay sal im so excited 4 u, how cool is that 3d one?! yeah Bella used 2 move so much and was never in the right posi 4 the u/s thats y i had so many! Sorry when is ur due date?

7th of August, DF's birthday!

oh how cool so what do u think ur having? Boy or girl?

I've got no idea, Im sort of hoping its a girl then we wont have to buy much but DF wants a boy. I really dont mind either way

Oh that's so cute Sal! Jellybean came from my 9wk u/s because it was bouncing around!
I remember when i had my 20wk u/s, jellybean wouldn't stop bouncing around either, and most of the time had his legs crossed or kicking - until she went to see if she could find out the sex, and he has his legs "spread-eagled" and it was all on show!

what do u mean u wont have 2 buy much stuff? Have u already got a lil girl?

aaaa how do i make my ticker pic smaller im sick of the one here Bella was only 4 months old in it! and i dont understand the instructions on lilypie 2 make my other pic fit!?

its always ncie to put a face to the words.

so now i know what Jess looks like...i gotta say you are totally cute ah im sure bubbs will soon fingers crossed for you.

Kass annabelle just melts my heart soooooooo beautiful...gunna break hearts she is. i love the funfacts on you're site.

Kss you'll need a program like photoshop to shrink your pictures - if you pick one of the ones you have in your gallery i can download it, do it for you then upload it to my gallery if you like - i already have photoshop installed and it doesn't take too long.

In other news i had my 36wk appointment today, no exciting news. Except i do have to do the GTT because my challenge test was 'unusually high'. I'll be so angry at myself if i have gestational diabetes and that's why i've been feeling so sick for so long. Teach me to be disorganised!
Oh, and i had four and half hours worth of contractions last night. Think the fact that i finally let DF attack my feet for a relaxing massage is what brought them on. Bit of a laugh for me, except that i didn't get to sleep until 5am-ish. Oh well. Jess i think we'd have to have a bit of a giggle if i beat you to it :P

Ashlea: ah dont worry too much i got that when iw as pg aswell and i was just told to watch what i ate

yes ash that would b great thank u! Talking about this in my other forum a ladies bubs photo's were stolen from another site. her bubs is Blake and some freak has said that he's her son and his name is James so ladies plz b careful!
Ash and jess u guys r making me miss being pg!!!

oh my gosh thats terrible Kass

yeah i know she know the freaks address so i said 2 write an abusive letter saying if she doesn't stop then she'll b taking her 2 court! But not 2 go near her house as she's a freak and also that wouldn't look good if it was 2 go 2 court.

Hey kass, i've had a look i can't actually save your photos like i thought i imght be able to (good on Kelly and mods and BB - it means they've disabled the ability to do stuff like you have mentioned).

Try creating a photobucket account for yourself (just google photobucket) and once you have uploaded the photos there are options to downsize them - that way you should hopefully be able to put them up as your new ticker photo. Sorry i couldn't help and good luck! If that doesn't work maybe you can email them to me instead :)

hey ash i went on photobucket.com aaaaaaaa! 2 confusing 2 a computer dumby!

kass u can be preg for me atm if u like, im so over it!!
had my ctg thing 2day, bubs heartrate is good, and the machine said i had tightnings but i didnt feel them.. got to have another one on sunday... so annoying just sittin there for like half and hour, funny to laugh at his heartbeat go up and down though, goes from like 130 to 160 when hes kicking around, such an effort :p

hehe Jess i know what you mean - i went in and had a CTG done on saturday because bubs had stopped moving around for a few days - i couldn't feel the bh at all. Apparently a 'real' contraction is when it reads over 60. Mine were no higher than 30 at the time. And bubby's heartrate was the same nearly the whole time because he wasn't doing much kicking around at all. It's so uncomfortable too because if you move to much your movements record as tightenings and argh it was just frustrating!

yer its annoying! i have a feeling i will have this baby on wed or thurs next week... induced prob

hey guys where's sally?

jess have you tried the old wives tales?
walking apparently because of the gravity shift.
pineapple juice / fresh pineapple apparently contains the same stuff (prostoglandins??) that semen does that softens the cervix (that's why they say to have lots of sex).
apparently a good reflexologist can give a foot massage and send you into labour - this one i'd try seeing as after my foot massage form df last night i ended up having ctx's for a few hours. check out reflexology on the web and see if your parents can treat you to a foot rub!
can't think of any others off the top of my head - apart from stairs sideways as it widens your pelvis :)

Oh and Kass - if you view my profile it has my email address in there, send me a couple of photos of Bella and i'll shrink them and send them back to you later tonight or tomorrow morning if you like.

As for Sally - she might be out or at The IL's i'd say??

yep tried them all ash, none work lol... most frustrating thing eva..

awww :hug: hun! hopefully Jaylen makes his appearance soon!

BOO!!

Gee you guys can talk I go out for a day!! AND 3 pages!!!

Jess, do you like licorice?? Aparently if you eat enough, it has a chemical in it which makes your waters break :D (i think it's something like 250gm a day you have to eat)

My mum and I went to Perth for an outing before I go to VIC, cos 4 days after i get back mum and dad are off to QLD!! Brendan was very well behaved. didn't whinge AT ALL!! I even forgot to change his nappy.... poor lil man had it on for almost 9 hours. lol.... that'll teach him for not letting me know!! haha!

oh good grief - 250grams?!!!!!! does that include raspberry licorice? lol!

lol... no, it's gotta be the good stuff!!

I'll try and find the artical again :D It was quite an interesting read

Oh and i suppose you'd better watch for the bowel movement too... after eating that much! hehehe

Poor Brendan, but it must not have bothered him that much if he didn't say anything!
Ash i sent them 2 u hopefully they worked!
