HI

he not allowed as they may be complications and they dont want to be worrying about him fainting. May need hysterectomy and they want to be able to get on with it without OH getting in the way. Also, here in the Middle East they are a bit behind on the whole men in the delivery room thing!!!!!!

He will be outside and if all goes well he can come in once placenta out and my bleeding controlled.

Very uncomfortable as baby very high due to the previa and my heart burn is awful at times.

I will be getting sterilised at same time so no more babies!!! Enough is enough.

Have in laws coming to help with child care and I will listne to your advice and not do anything!!!! I want to be well by end of march as my sister coming for easter.

Hi All, i have not been on this site before but have read all the comments. I am 38 this year and a mum of 3, Corey who is 14, shaun who is 12 and Alfie 10 months.
After having my first 2 and getting my life back i was never having any more children, but secretley both me and my husban wanted a little girl so we dicided to try one last time. On my 20 wk scan i found out i was having another boy, i was devistated, but that was short lived.
being a lot older i found i was a lot more tired and dont think i coped so well as if i was 24 body getting older and all that.
the boys were very shocked when we told them but very excited, my youngest when through a stage of thinking that i would not be able to do all the things with him that we did any more, i explaind that nothing would change.
My first 2 births were natural, so expected that on the 3rd! not so simple, i had an emergency c section which did not go too goo, lost 6 pints of blood in theatre and was a right mess, the recovery was horiffic thought i would never get back to normal ever again, but did.
My youngest son is best with baby he helps out a lot, my eldest only when he is asked.
As for being a taxi service i know the feeling all to well, i am out most nights dropping or picking up, and with my husband working away it is even harder cause its just me.
Any way we would love to try again (for our little girl) but the odds are not too good after having 3 boys are they? Everyone says i have to have another, compay for alfie, i would then have my older family and my younger one. cant imaging having 4 though or 5, we would have to move house if i had another and we have 4 bedrooms already, cant imagine boys sharing they would kill eachother.
any way think i have gone on long enough, nice to find this site though. xx

Welcome joemill, my teenage daughter is brilliant. She also believes that things will never be the same, but i assure her that once my lo is a bit bigger we will have our days out together again. She is very good with Grace though. I would definitely love another, but i'm 42, so chances are it won't be happening. Al x

Wel,. Amelia arrived safe and well (birth story on here somewhere) and is now 4 months. Been pregnant was hard but now juggling 2 teenagers who have broken up for summer hols and having 3 aged 4 and under is no bloody picnic! I feel sooo tired this time round. I turned 39 last month so that comes into it. Aches and pains and lack of sleep is giving me serious wrinkles, frown lines and bags. I had a lovely pic of me and baby but I looked really tired. i went onto photobucket which has an editing suite and wiped away 15 years...I look fab!!!!!!!! lol
how you all doing with the teenagers and babies / bumps???

Hi Dee how are all your lot doing? At the moment i have Ruby and Alex at home with some strange virus but it has not stopped Ruby demanding food at every opportunity Her fave is cheese and salad cream sandwiches! My biggest one Liam is doing his yr 10 work experience at morrisons and is loving it or as he says it is sick!!! and Saffron is slogging it out at school doing her end of year tests and moaning about the usual teen angst, i think she is a bit embarressed with having a pg mum she said im far too old bloody cheek i really think i may have scarred her for life hehe how is that lovely baby of yours ??? love Leigh x

Hiya Dee i feel dreadful, i just feel sick constantly! the only thing that stops it is eating and if i keep doing that i will end up the size of a house. Im not too bothered about what im having but it would be nice to have another girl, the boys were lovely but so demanding and i know Ruby would love a baby sister. If i start craving extra strong mints then i know its def a boy xxx

sickness is a very good sign though!!!!
