Donna: i spose its not ideal but if DH and his brother has been left the house, couldnt you sell it and go halves with his brother with the money and use your half of the money to get another place? or at least pay off half of a new place and have a really small mortgage to pay off? that really sucks that he doesnt pull his weight, it irks me so bad that people who dont work or do anything think they are so hard done by, and they get themselves into this downward spiral and it gets worse!!!
i worry cause my folks just did up thier will (neither of them are sick but they just wanted it done) and gave me a copy and cause my brother is disabled (down syndrome) hes been left 50% and me and my sister get 25% each, which i have no problem with at all infact im happy hes getting more, but i was reading it and theyve put me as carer of his trust/inheritance which freaks me out cause not only will i be caring for him and trying to find somewhere for him to live (at the moment lives with my folks) but also trying to manage a 6 figure fund for him.... yipes thanks for asking my input mum and dad lol
as for induction, on tuesday they did internal and said i was fully effaced but not dialated so i guess that means my cervix is pretty much ready to go, so the prostin gel alone may do the trick? i told DP that semen has prostoglandins in it (like the prostin gel) and i think he thought they put semen in you to induce you and was giving me this freaked out look it was pretty funny
hey guys
hope i fit into this thread :S
i guess im wanting some support for younger couples.
hows everyones pregnancy/ babies going along?
how do you find things being a young parent
im only 23 and DF is only 24 probably not super young but i feel so young atm haha
xox
Me and DF are having an issue. Ive had a bit of trouble this week with the pregnancy and DF took some time of work ( a week) which was lovley. I felt a little like a child being cared for but it was nice to have the time with DF. But i was cleared today and i asked DF if he was going back to work this week and he said he is probably going to take another week off work.We really need money at the moment and DF is in a desk job that is about to offer a promotion which will pay very nicely. But when i confronted him about going back to work he got very defensive saying i didnt want him there and i didnt apreciate him. How can i tackle a sensative fiance? It seems impossible.
welcome lauren, hmm thats a toughie...not that i am good at taking my own advice but maybe sit down with him , maybe over dinner or a coffee/tea, and let him know you love him etc, maybe something at work has upset him and thats why hes taking extra time off? are you working also? if not maybe he is feeling under alot of pressure to provide for the both of you? let him know you do appreciate him and want him around, and that this new life is one you made 'together' and therefore need to contribute together, if this means him working and you stay home and do housewifey stuff, then so be it. HTH
thanks for the advice tatoo_mama
im not working at the moment im in uni though.
he hasnt mentioned to me anything bad thats happened i will deffinatly asked him though.
He says hes worried about me and its a 40 minute drive to work for him and he thinks if something happens he wont be there to help me. When we thought i miscarried he cried and said im never leaving you because he was at work at the time. I dont know what exactly is wrong probably the stress of him working and studying too is stressful. Oh the troubles of young couples! haha
Where bouts in melb u from? (if u dont mind me asking)
Your poor DF, thats so sweet that hes worried about u, i had a scare last yr when i was preg with DD#2 and my DP was lovely enough to stay at home with me, i dont think i could have coped if he didnt. Hopefully the rest of ur preg will be smooth sailing.
hey thanks for the warm welcome
im in macleod but am often found with my mother (my rock) in taylors lakes.
Who would of thought pregnancy was more stressful than year 12 ahahah
things seemed to have settled i have an ob father which is handy but he always thinks im over reacting mum is actually more help hahah.
lauren: lol yr 12 was a breeze compared to this (hmm maybe cause thats cause i wagged most of it lol)
how handy having an OB dad, we dont have PHI so have had to go public but so far am happy with the midwife care ive received. and yes sit down with ur DF n have a chat, if 'somethings gotta give', i.e. for him to relax abit, id have to say unfortunately itd be the study, cause u need income, study can atleast be postponed. babies respond to stress even when in the womb so its important the both of you stay as calm as possible (here i go again with my advice i dont take myself)
haha i worked my ass off in yr 12!!!
got a 91 had so many plans
but opted for travel with DF.
then planned uni but instead was blessed with tiger.
How things change ey?
I'm generally a stressed person and after this week im following everything by the book to keep tiger in there.
I keep almost writing he. I think tigers a he but we shall see in a bit.
uni work is currently killing me.
I am 23, as is DH. I have MCed while DH was working away and MCed while he was home, and both times he really didn't know what to say or do. All I needed really was hug, but sometimes he doesnt get the body language that is asking for it
Having your Dad as an Ob would help with the physical things, but for the emotional stuff that comes with pregnancy you just can't beat having your mum hey
I agree completely, year 12 is nothing compared to pregancy and parenthood!!
I've come to the conclusion DF is clueless.
He just told me i should have an ecs because tiger is a trouble maker and its safer.
Good god internet has corrupted my once sane Beau's head
hahahahahaha
my mates were always ****t off with me cause i wagged almost everyday of yr 12 n still got 82 for my TEE (not fabulous but not bad either)...and yeah i went to uni for 3 weeks, hated it, quit, went to tafe, quit, and for the last 4 yrs was a topless barmaid! so much for the 10k a yr my parents spent on private girls school LOL and remember everything happens for a reason it may b hard but u will learn and grow from it...man i shud write a self help book
i was private school educated from kinder
and i was a party animal
ahahaha
i buckled down because i wanted to be a lawyer.
but decided its too boring just started primary education and got pregnant ahahaha
was i meant for uni?
is tiger a sign?
Basically DH is going op shopping for a wheelchair tomorrow, and the physio has sent my ob a letter saying there is no way she will be able to come out vaginally. So I have my next Ob appointment on the 27th and we will schedule the CS from there.
Your way on the other side of the city to me lauren. I dont venture over that way, im a homey girl. lol
I never finished yr 12. I got preg with alyssa and they wouldnt let me come back to school, thought i would be too much of a distraction or something. I did distance ed for the first 6 months but it was way too hard to do by corrospondance. I did go back to tafe though and plan to continue either 2010 or 2011, will see what happens.
Ali- sorry to hear u wont be able to give birth vaginally, but atleast u get to know when you'll have ur bubs in ur arms, dont have to go overdue and get depressed like me. haha. GL with ur app hun!
