Hey all

I never noticed this thread before!!
I'm 20, my DD is 3months and I'm a SAHM.
I'm getting really really tired of the "Oh, you have a baby. Are you still with the father?" *judgmental look*

[lauren22]

Sally it was an accident! from first niggle to placenta was under 2 hours!

[Early Kids]

Welcome! allycat06 and mistyschell I'm Sally, 23, mum to Brendan, 3 and Tristan 9 months!

Sally it was an accident! from first niggle to placenta was under 2 hours!

WOW! Now that's a fast labour!! Did he have any issues from being born a bit early?

AFM, I have two sick kids, Brendan is on the mend and doing well Tristan has got a little worse. He is coughing has a temp and a runny nose poor wee bugger

Tristan had his physio appt and it went well, they are extremely happy with his progress, he's on the 90th %ile for Gross Motor skills for his corrected age! His legs should get better the more he stands, but we have another appointment in 3 weeks to check how he's going.

Brendan is just plodding along lol.

Hope everyone is well!

[lauren22]

he was ever so slightly jaundice but had a pretty good weight at birth. He has his first little cold but hes getting better but my birth story is here if you want to have a read https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...d-elliott.html

[Early Kids]

That's awesome!! Jaundice is fairly normal prem or not Wow I am impressed though Elliott is just awesome Hope he's feeling better soon xx

[mum2maddieand1]

Wow i havent been on here for Sooooooooo long!

CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN!!!!!!

I was lying in bed last night and you popped into my mind, and i was thinking, she must be due! so decided to come on here and see and what do you know, you had the little mr!

i loved your birth story, truly amazing! and i love his name!

hope everyone else is well

[~Serenity~]

Lauren I had the same as you but 20 min lol I love fast labours hehehe so exciting

[Early Kids]

Hey

How is everyone?

I'm quite busy lately, lots of therapy appointments ect. Tristan is now 11 months, gets weighed Tuesday, he was 7.2kg at 10 months. Brendan is 39 months and 12kg, he's been diagnosed with PDD-NOS, but we are awaiting official testing to get funding to help Brendan. It's quite a big process but so worth it.

I'm doing physio myself too. Thanks to my crappy body not handling pregnancy well lol.

Hope all is well

[~Serenity~]

Hey all

Serenity can now crawl on her knees yay still in 000 though

[xXHopeXx]

oh dear, i just had a nice long post but i went and deleted it all somehow!!

well, i guess i better start again huh? lol

i'm 19, and my DH is 22, and we're 9weeks pregnant with our first bub, who was a ''sortof'' surprise lol.

i was just thinking the other day how awesome it would be if BB had a group for young parents, and yet, all i had to do was really just look a little harder i guess :P all the other mums-to-be in my BB group are older than me, (mid 20's to late 30's) and dont really seem to talk to me much whenever i post on my thread, so im feeling a little left out in that sense..

a little about me...
my DH and i have been together for nearly 5 years, (yeh yeh i know, just a tad young :P ) and weve been married for a little over one (i was 18, and he was 21 at marriage) but we've been through ALOT in the past 3-4 years with my health issues, so we figured if we were able to make it through those together, surely we can get through marriage!

i've been treated pretty well, but then again, only my family knows so far really, only a couple of REALLY close friends, one of which is on BB, so i had no chance of even trying to keep it from her :P but they've all taken it pretty well, as my sister had her baby around the same time as i am, but i will be a few months older than her at birth. and this will be their 5th grandchild, (i am the youngest by 8 years to my nearest sibling, and 12.5 years to my oldest) so its not really a MASSIVE shock sorta thing lol. but my DH is the youngest of 2, and this will be the first grandchild, so she was a tad more surprised :P
but yeah.. all in all, we havent received any criticism, but im sure once i get bigger, and random people i dont even know will be aware of it, that i will get more dirty looks and such. but im hoping that no extended family or friends will say anything nasty.. seeing as ive known most of them a long time, and they know us pretty well to know if we werent ready we wouldnt let it happen (we HAVE been together for nearly 5 years, so THAT must say something! lol!)


just wondering how young you all were when you had ur first bubs? and what kind of looks and comments u all received with it? just out of curiosity, as i've always wondered how different people in different circumstances have been treated when falling pregnant early..

but anyways.. itll be nice to hear from some of you!

[~Lashes~]

hi, are you all still arround, or long gone? lol.
im 23, expecting no 4 (and definately last!) df and i were16 when we got together, i just turned 18 when we had ds1, we now have 2 boys almost 5, 3 and a little girl 7months, and are expecting big surprise no 4 one month after dd's first birthday! (big year next year)
im always getting questiond about my kids, typical stranger convo is: "surley there not all yours" "but youd be no older then 16" "oh wow, you look so much younger" "different fathers then" "oh thats nice, you dont here many young men who stick arround"
i just smile and walk away without meaning to be rude when i see the questions start!

[Rainbow_Mumma]

ive never seen this thread before
I know what you mean Sarah I get it too except mine do have different dads but my first i didnt even consent to the sex but nobody sees that anyway all that aside.
I'm 23 too and expecting number 4 and 5 My first baby grew his wings 3 hours after he was born and i miss him so much everyday its almost his 8th birthday so im planning to do something nice.

[xXHopeXx]

im around! lol just noones replied for about.. 2 months!

sarah - yeh DH and i get that when we say how long we've been together.. oh your so young, you should enjoy life, bla bla bla.. i fail to see how i CANT enjoy life with him with me as he makes everything so much better!

mrsS - congrats on the twins!! what a surprise!! was it natural or? (if you dont mind me asking) i kept freaking we would have twins, as its in my family, and its our generation to spit some out! lol but we're only having one... *phew* i dont know how id cope with two at once! but i love the thought
when will you be having scans done??

how has everyone been going with their pregnancies?
ive lost 22kg.. (how you may ask? the joys of morning sickness... lol) but then i was overweight, i havent been this light in years and ironically, while some of my clothes are too big now, alot are getting too small! lol!! :P
