You'd think i'd got the ebola virus

[sueken]

What is it with men,number 5 is on way,unexpected but on the way and OH is in total denile,he went mad when i told my 12 year old saying it was too soon.I had to tell him as he was stressing me out big time and i thought he might behave a bit if he new how much stress i was under,and if i collapse someone in the house needs to tell the paramedics why .
OH seems totally embarased by it all.Does he think all his mates aren't having sex,they just use contriception and we don't,he says he's too old and feels a bit stupid at getting caught out,but hey were not kids we knew what we were doing and we enjoyed it.
When did you all tell everyone your news?i'm dying to tell someone and i say bollocks to OH,people are going to notice soon and i don't want them thinking i'm just fat
Sorry to moan on but i'm a bit peed off with blokes at the mo.

I could quite happily slap my OH right now. I have an appointment with EPU tomorrow after twinges and worries for over a week.

He has spent the best part of the last week doing DIY jobs that have been waiting since we moved in to the house and "organizing" the loft. I asked him to come and sit with me for a while to keep me company and got told he "didn't want to sit on his a*se all day". Keeping busy is his way of coping with the worry, still makes me feel pants though.

Sweeping generalization, but I really think most blokes don't know how to handle major emotions. Well at least none of the ones that I know do.

i think today should be slap your other half day they just do not get it at all

as for when should you tell people , that is up to you, we told our parents and brothers at week 5, pretty much as soon as we found out

Last time we told our family and close friends at 6 weeks. I m.c at 10 weeks, even as late as a few weeks ago people were still congratulating me on the pregnancy which led to some awkward conversations.

DB has a son already from his previous relationship, and explaining the m.c was difficult so this time he wants to keep it quiet until 3 months have passed.

Problem is I have been such a moody cow as I am really worried with the spotting, all my BF's mates think I am some sort of evil witch because we hardly went out over the Christmas period - and when we did I wanted to leave early and was anxious all evening. Part of me wishes I could explain so that they would know what was going on with me - rather than just thinking I am a grumpy mare who doesn't let her BF out of her sight.

MEN!!! Can't live with them....can't shoot them in the head!!!

They're all bloody useless and emotionally inept most of the time.

Just what I was thinking


Aww hun just kick his bum into line what are they like!

If my DB hasn't stopped banging about in the loft in the next hour I swear to god I am going to fit a lock to the outside of the hatch.

He can live up there like some mad Auntie.

He'd be fine without food and water for a few days. Its the lack of X-Box that would finally make him cave.

My dh was the same - but then he always told everyone pretty much straight away anyway I was so excited each time I wanted the world to know - lol. Even when I had my m/c's I felt better that people knew - they were always very supportive and understood if I got teary (I don't cry often so if I do people get concerned!) - just worked for me.

I'm sure he will come round - he probably feels like this was all behind you both - but remind him how many men/women are just starting out at our age and these days 40 is the new 30 - when he's 90 your lo will be 50 - not so bad after all age really is just a number.

Sorry waffled Told you I'd stalk you didn't tell you I'd monopolise your thread - well I will (not )
Take care.

Well i'm execting baby 5 aswell, i've told my kids because i'm feeling so sick all the time and i'm so pale i look like a ghost, i didnt want them worrying & thinking i was really ill, now they understand why i'm so tired & look awfull they are actually trying to help me (well my eldest two anyway)

As for the OH thing mine is more worried this time than he has been before you would think he would be more chilled this time as we have had plenty of practice
Men are strange but yes i think a good slap should sort him out .....only joking give him time he will be ok, my OH was not over the moon at first while i was preggers with no.4 because (apparently ) i pushed him into having another baby (i still say he could of said no & carried on using protection ), he soon came round though.

I can't actually complain about my hubby at the moment tbh - he has been so good since we found out we were pregnant again (if a little over protective).

He is poorly this evening - I have sent him back to bed (he was staggering around saying 'i cant go to bed I havent made you any dinner yet').

He did infuriate me at the weekend though when his mate came over - he suddenly decided he wanted to tell him we were expecting (some of my mates know so he wanted his to too - fair enough) except the way he said is was 'she's only pregnant isn't she! Yeah I know, well that's snowboarding holidays out the window for me (sigh)' etc etc. It made it sound like I'd trapped him into it in some way!!!! Idiot!

Sounds like your hubby hasn't quite got his head around the idea of another baby yet Sueken - he'll get there I'm sure.

 

[sueken]

Think he's coming round a bit tonight,even called me his fat pregnant old wife ,so at least he's admiting it.
No he's ok really,i just don't think he realises that i'm quite happy about it all and there's nowt we can do about it.
Silly men aren't they.

Can't knock my darling OH at all. He was more clued up on my cycle than I was when we were TTC He is totally unphased by it all, and keeps telling me he has been through all this 3 times before with his ex-wife so nothing I say scares him
