I agree, as long as you're both happy and love is there it doesn't matter.
How far gone are you now? Xx

Nice to meet you all.
Hope everyone's pregnancy is going great!
Was everyone's pregnancy unexpected or planned?
Got any ideas on a birth plan? I'm wanting a water birth! :)

Chantel Xx

My pregnancy has been fairly straight forward except for some problems like a kidney infection and bad dehydration ending in being in hospital! But nearly everyone has some sort of hiccup :) its all part of being pregnant. Just want baby to arrive safely now, fed up so feeling so massive and having contractions that don't go anywhere lol how's yours been?
You in college or anythIng? I did my last day today :D whoop! X

Chantel, my pregnancy was planned as me and the oh cant have babys naturally so had to have IVF. I guess my pregnancy hasnt been too bad I was lucky in that I didnt have any morning sickness but it was taken over with worry at the beginning, n I have to have physio for hip and back problems other than that seems to be going fairly smoothly. Yeah we found out and we are having a boy, he kicks all day long and is a proper little wriggler. I have been quite lucky because of the ivf and the fact my placenta is at the back and baby is all front I have felt and experienced everything early on. Like have had a bump since about 5 weeks and just gets bigger and bigger. I also felt him kicking and wriggling around since about 15 weeks and so now I cant remember him not being a wriggler. Finally, I would like a water birth too but there are soooo many people pregnant not sure they will fit me in lol, that and I may have to have a csection because of my hips but fingers crossed xx

Hey again :)

* Oh glad your out of hospital and doin well now Abi.
I suffered from morning sickness very early on, infact the day after I found out I was pregnant which was around 7 weeks. Also had very very bad nose bleeds which I had to then have my nose quaterised to stop them, but it hasn't stopped them, just slowed them down alot.
I work ina kitchen at the moment, I used to work full time hours but recently they cut my hours. Think they did it to get out of paying me maternity leave. It was pretty convenient for them but not so convenient for me as I've now to try and claim maternity allouence.

What you studying at college?
Least you can now relax and play the waiting game now.
Thought of any names? Xx

* Ohh well I'm so glad IVF has gone well for you Lea.
Also congratulations on your little boy :)
I had a bump very early on but I've put that down to being so small. I'm only 4ft 10.5 and a size 6 so everything started to show early lol :)
I felt the first movements around 17 weeks and now I feel every little movement and kick, I love it lol!
Yeh I know loads of people having babies, I just hope they can fit me in too!
I had to see an Obstatrition at the hospital last week to measure my bump and do my blood pressure. I had to go because I'm abit under weight for my height but not by alot so they want to monitor me to make sure the baby grows too. But my mum was the same size as me when she had me and I was fine and she had 4 other children after me so I think it must be a genetic thing.
Hope you have the birth you want and it all goes to plan.
Thought of any names for him yet?
Xx

Chantel x

I'm doing animal care in college, took me weeks to get on the course because they were trying to scare me out of doing the course. When I went in on Monday they tried asking me to go home because bump looked low lol we've decided to call our boy Ifan Emlyn Alun Davies :) we're from Wales if you can't guess from the name lol you? Names were the easy bit.... Deciding on cots and pushchairs are the decisions we didn't agree on lol have you bought much for you little one? Xx

Oh nice. Were you aloud to go near all the animals etc?
Ahh it's unusual to me because I'm from Yorkshire in England and never heard that name before.
If I have a girl I want to call her Mailey (pronounced May-ley) and for a boy Chase.
Everytime I asked my boyfriend about a name he'd say a few but I didn't like them so he let me decide but he wants my first name (Chantel) to be the girls middle name or his first name (Michael) for the boys middle name. But we don't know wether to have a double barreled last name or just his.
With my boyfriend being in the army he's only home on a weekend and thats when I work so I've been getting the essentials lol. I've got everything except a cot and changing mat. Very prepared lol xx
