Only halfway through....really???!

[flopsybunny]

Hiya girls,

I just cannot believe how long it feels until I get to meet my little girl. After having the 20 week scan yesterday, I went on a mad shopping binge (it was great!) and her arrival felt so close. But when I got home and sat down and thought about it. It suddenly hit me that I am only halfway through the pregnancy and I have still got the same amount of time that has passed until I meet her. Does anyone else see the next 20 weeks stretching ahead for ever?!

Its going way to fast for me! I want the next 20 weeks to slow down a bit so I can enjoy it properly rather than rushing about and then thinking "oh yeah i'm pregnant"! I forget even now with my bump beginning to get in the way lol xxx

It dragged so much for me to begin with but I think that was because I was dying to get to 12 weeks for safety then dying to get to 20 weeks for my scan. Trust me, after that, it speeds up!

I've barely got more than a few things for him so need to get prepared. 13 weeks left for me and that will fly by as I've got so much to do.

Hope things pick up for you xx

Sickening! Why should you have to subject your child to a friggin hostel when you don't have to?

The council here kept moving the goalposts. When I got pregnant (in my first unsuccessful pregnancy) they told me as soon as I had my maternity notes I could apply for a move as we were in a 2 bed. I took my notes in as soon as I got them and then they told me not to expect anything as the kids can share a room until they're 5 and even longer if they're same sex children!

I lived above a drug dealing woman beater who smoked so much weed it made our flat smell of it and we werent considered priority. We decided to rent through an estate agent and pay £200 more a month but now have 3 floors instead of 1, 3 big bedrooms and an en suite. Should have done this ages ago so even though its not as secure, private renting through someone reputable is the way forward xxx

No prob nadine - baby is breech - have check tuesday to c if still is and then again at 36 weeks and scan at 37 weeks - midwife advised against the ECV - and to be honest dont really like the idea heard bad reports xo

 

[midnight]

well im in a different situation we own our own 3 bed but struggling with the mortgage as we are currently on benefits so they say as i own my home i can either get it reposessed or sell it hmm both resulting in me becoming homeless before they will consider me doh i have 125 point anything over 100 is high priorty so because i have 4 children 1 of which is disabled the housing officer and the housing o.t are going to arrange a meeting with there manager and see if they can offer me a place without becoming homeless and teh stress on doing this on me and my son would be massive and it will take me months to get my ds back into some sort of routine moving once is going to be bad enough

 

[midnight]

plus i need a 4 bed not a 3 bed as my son cant share a room at all

My first 20 weeks went in so slow. The last few weeks have sped up though and ive deliberately hardly got anything organised yet, as i will be getting made redundant by end of feb so that will hopefully keep me busy and pre occupied until may. xx
