Calling all happy people!!!!

[Manda&Thomas]

manda why do you have 2 car seats and two change bags?

im not mad honest its that i dont drive nor does hubby but we do go in peoples cars alot
so one is for mums car and one is for us if we go in my dads car or a taxi or some-one elses
the change bags are also for reasons like that one im going to keep at my mums so when i go over there i wont need to take nappies ect with me saves me a few thing lugging about
the other one is a "manly" one for hubby lol as he doesnt want to use the one that i will be getting with the pram

I would much rather had not been going through this but unfortunately i have and if that makes first tri look less positive then i am sorry but unfortunately afew people have had losses this weekend and so yes it will look quite negative at the moment but then there are also a lot of funny posts if you look ( i myself posted quite afew funny ones before things went wrong for me)

Aww hun nooooooooo! Im not saying that at all. Im worried as everyone in here seems to be worrying soooo much and it seems no-one apart from a very small handful is happy. I do know how you feel, I had a miscarriage too. This is the first time I have been pregnant since and althoug it was a good few years ago I know how it hurts.

I know what you are trying to say hun its just that most of us are happy until things start happening, i myself am an eternal optimist and wouldnt worry unless i had too

I just thought your post was maybe a little insensitive due to the fact people on here will be or have been going through bad times and although we would all like to be happy and jolly all of the time, life isnt like that

We are all here for eachother through good and bad which is why i like it on here

 

[Tiffy]

I know I'm trying to be positive, I don't doubt the rest of us are trying, too.
Sometimes it's just hard, and that's okay.

 

[Tillytots]

ok well my bad for asking people to try not to be so worried - I just knew people would kick off - its like hormone hell in here

lotsa love

[x Naomi x]

I havent and wouldnt kick off just stating a valid and relevant point thats all!

You should have seen me in mothercare last week, i wanted to try all of the travel systems out so started dismantling one of the shop displays much to the embarrassment of my OH!

I got it apart but couldnt for the life of me get it back together and its meant to be easy but then i am really clumsy so unless a kid could do it im no good!

Oh well at least i know which pram i cant buy when the time is right!

 

[debecca]

Sarah, you have soooo much stuff!

I'm not allowed to buy anything till the Sales cos my husband is a stingy so-and-so!!!

Shouldn't complain though, it means I can give up work after Maurice is born...

I have to admit to being one of those who is not really stressing about things. I really am taking the 'what will be will be' approach. I figure at almost 37 and pregnant for the first time, while its all new to me and the early pregnancy symptoms are hitting me hard and I've said as much here for the rest of it I'm just getting on with it and not panicking about every little thing.

I'm going on less is more. I'm informed, but I am also not reading too much so as to give me more to worry about The less I stress about things, the better it has to be for the baby and me I feel. I'm taking care of myself, eating well, sleeping lots, exercising and staying positive.

I think some people are more inclined to worry and stress than others and I would in other things, but with being pregnant, I figure its nature taking its course and it'll unfold as it will. Of course some will want to talk about their worries and concerns here, and that's of course entirely natural, but we can support each other and try and be positive

[Sophie1102]

I agree with you both Tilly and Sherlock, this is my third baby and I have not even thought about the things that could go wrong, If it's gonna happen then it will, no matter how much I stress or think about it will stop anything bad from happening.

I love being pregnant and love the fact that i'm getting bigger straight away as with my two girls I didn't show until 6 months!!!

 

[longpinkamazing]

Im only in week six but i have been out with my daughter and planned what i need to buy. I also got some new born baby grows from the charity shop the other day.
Mum and my bf tell me to wait till 12 week scan but i cant.

Hehe I understood where you were coming from. It's not always easy to try to convey what's in our minds, but you did a good job

 

[Steelgoddess]

Hey there ladies

I guess I kind sit on the fence with this one but I can completly see what is being said...

I believe with every negative comes a positive.

I know whilst I was pregnant most recently because I had such a love for the forum and you lovely ladies were so helpful I wanted to share with my feelings and I believe alot of other ladies feel the same way...

Whether you are pregnant for the first time or the fifth, have miscarried or not have the knowledge of google or don't EVERYONE will worry...

Why? Because as soon as you become pregnant you become a mother and worry comes from concern, caring and trying to understand and find out whats right for your baby.

I would give ANYTHING in the world if someone said to me right you will wake up tomorrow feeling like the toilet is your new best friend and food is your enemy, to feel like im turning into a porker because my tummy looks odd and doesnt fit properly in my jeans or to have nipples so sore it feels like someone has taken a cheese grater to them... its funny how after all those are the things I miss most...


I believe if someone "complains" or has a wee winge about this things its not because they want to be negative but kind of like saying hey world im pregnant im proud but wtf is happening to my body, I have no sickness= Is my baby happy and growing strong in there?? that in itself is positive...

IMHO I would be worried if I met anyone that DIDNT have any concerns about their pregnancy it doesnt mean you are being negative... Obviously constant complaining and worrying is definatly not good and like you said can cause stress to you and the baby...

I also agree to relish the fact you are pregnant, buy books to help understand scary things that can happen (bleeding, loss of symptoms concern of miscarriage or repeat miscarriage). No one can say how one must feel we are human and just "are" also by helping others that are worried you lay their minds to rest and that in itself allows them to feel positive...

I won;t waffle on but hopefully throughout some of the waffle you can see what im trying to say, its so natural to feel concerned you doing on of the most amazing, fantastic emotional things you will EVER do in your lives.

P.s damn you ladies been doing some serious shopping!!

HUGS

 

[tots hope]

we haven't got anything for the baby yet! (apart from a swinging crib that was given to us years ago!)

Before the baby comes we have to find a house and buy it and my DH has to change jobs! Thats going to cause some stress i can tell you!

Oh well lets hope the outcome is a good one!

 

[Becs]

We haven't got anything for the baby either yet. We are being positive and enjoying our pregnancy but having had one m/c we just know how upsetting it would be to have all that stuff here if something did go wrong. It took me 7 months to get pregnant again after the last one so I am really enjoying being pregnant . I did come to first tri with some concerns and when I read Urchins sticky and after being told worrying is pointless I felt I wasn't able to post concerns and that did make me feel a little unwelcome I have to admit which was a bit of a culture shock comming from first tri where everyone is so supportive, but I'll just go elsewhere on the days I feel worried and come here the rest of the time. So I guess I'll be around a lot as like I said, I'm really enjoying being pregnant and am so excited to already be 2 spaces along on my ticker.

 

[timsmom]

What the hell is a grobag egg thermometer???!!!!

 

[muppetmummy]

We haven't bought anything yet either, but only cos we're stingy and are waiting for the January sales
James was born at the end of December. I remember being annoyed a couple weeks after his birth when I found out a lot of the stuff we'd bought for him was now half price
