I know some people think I'm probably a silly little girl who keeps getting knocked up - that's their choice. The kiddos are loved clothed and fed and we don't claim any benefits.
Would I have planned my pregnancies this close? Nope.
We got together in May 2001, I was 15 and I went on the pill and fell pregnant in December.
Willow was born in August and I was given a depo provera shot (wouldn't have been anywhere near it if I knew then what I know now).
Found out I was pregnant just over a month later (yep depo and BF).
I'd still been living with mum and dad then.
We moved into our own place April 2003.
Isaac and Amber were born in May and I decided to give the pill another try. 6 months later I fell pregnant again.
Harry came along in August and I spoke with my doctor and said I needed some form of b/c that wasn't going to fail me and we decided on the iud.
Worked great until it dislodged 10 months later - not that I knew it had dislodged until I found out I was 14w pregnant.
Ellie arrived bang on her EDD in March.
Was offered a different brand of b/c pill and fell pregnant immediately.
Sold our 3 bedroom house and started the design work to have our own house built. Moved into rented 4 bedroom house.
Lily came into the world almost 6 weeks early when I fell over thin air and delivered her before the hospital could stop my labour.
Heard good reviews about the patch so asked to use that and found out I was 9w pregnant 5 months later.
Moved into our own 7bedroom house March 2007.
Harvey's just gone 3 months old and here I am again - almost 6w pregnant. I don't know if to laugh or cry.
I've never missed or been more than an hour late taking a pill or replacing a patch.
Well since I managed to persude the sonographer to let me have a wee piccie last night I guess it's time to begin a time line.
26th Feb
Felt "weird" AF was late and so I decided to pee on a stick.
Not sure how to feel. I mean I love the kiddos to bits but my body is suffering from the past few years and I'm getting married this winter.
I'd almost decided to give the iud another chance...
4th March
Just me and baby Harvey. Willow, Isaac & Amber are with my grandparents; Harry, Ellie & Lily are with my mum and dad.
After a day of personal indulgence - long bath, manicure, hair mask, daytime tv... decided that now would be a good time to and and
I was feeling rather uckky and pukey and think I had some sort of bug.
Problem is when you're puking and have a BF baby that just wants to eat you get a little dehydrated (hindsight - wonderful thing).
Got a bit coming down the stairs and fell on the 2nd to bottom stair - nice soft laundry, would have been nice to just curl up and on it LOL if it wasn't for feeling uckky.
Ended up with dad taking me to A&E dispite my protests and then them keeping me over night for obs and a fluid iv
A&E doctory person was concerned about my being dizzy, pukey and just a wee bit pregnant and so sent me for a scan to confirm it wasn't ectopic.
All's good except bump #8 is actually bumps #8 & #9
Here's the wee picie I managed to persuade the sonographer to let me have.
A second set of fraternal twins - oh man
Looks like I ovulated earlier than expected because I'm a wee bit further along than I had thought 5w5d instead of just over 4w.
Oh eeks - sorry I just kind of had a bit of a let-it-out sesh there.
Congratulations on your second set of twins - Can't believe you aren't freaking out! lol I thought I had my hands full with two!
What a wonderful family you have, it must be like the Waltons at bedtime lol
You must be VERY fertile for most contraceptions to have failed you......After these two, your gonna have to get a TV! hee hee
Seriously though, you must be a remarkable woman to cope so well with such a big family. Well done you!
I'm 22.
Bedtime is umm interesting LOL, although all of them are very good about staying in their own room, if not their own bed once they've been put to bed.
I am freaking out omg am I ever. DF simply said "we can afford it and we've got space so don't panic."
He's doing some training courses this month which should enable him to work closer to home, thank goodness.
Oh God,you are an amazing woman,really...So young and you are coping with this wonderfully,you must be an amazing mom and a very selfless person...
Your husband-to-be seems like a great guy...
I was also on the pill when I got pregnant,it sucks...
Oh God,you are an amazing woman,really... Nope, really, truly. But I do have an amazing family, mum & dad, nan & granddad, etc. So young and you are coping with this wonderfully Nope, see above. I cope better now than I used to, but I've been fortunate enough to have my awesome family supporting me and encouraging me forwards whenever I feel like I can't cope. you must be an amazing mom and a very selfless person... Haha no, I'm always being told I should be less strict with my kiddos, apparently I'm quite scary at times. Your husband-to-be seems like a great guy... He is fabulous, never complains, is always supportive and is always there when I need him. He has his faults but the good bits far out weight the not-so-good bits and I wouldn't change him for the world.
I was also on the pill when I got pregnant,it sucks... Sure does. I actually tried to be responsible, my body had other ideas.
I have my moments of rebellion. I got myself a couple of tattoo's, I got my tongue pierced, I've dyed my hair various colours.
After Isaac & Amber were born I did some stuff I wasn't too proud of then found out I was pregnant with Harry and pulled myself in line. Fell off the rails a bit after Harry was born, got a rather unpleasant wake up call in March 2005 and decided I had to change my attitude and realised how lucky I was to have had my parents picking up the pieces behind me, stepping in to make sure the babies were looked after and the like.
All those little niggles that I either didn't get or sailed through simply seem to be enclosing in on me 10 fold this time.
I'm much more tired, I'm in pain with my back/hips, I'm gassy and bloated and emotional
I'm randomly puking I just want to and feel like I have to many balls to
Deep breath and relax.
OK sorry about that back to our regularly scheduled program.
Not really much to update.
I'm getting bigger by the second it feels like LOL do you think I might pop like a balloon?
DF came home from work a few weeks ago feeling sick and by night time he was really ill puking and err... the other LOL One by one all the kids caught the bug/virus too. I don't think I've ever seen quite so much puke.
Somehow I managed to not catch it at all. Not even a bit of queeziness.
So the bug out of the way and on to Easter. We cheat a bit here instead of getting loads of chocolate eggs for the kiddos my mum found these plastic eggs sometime ago and we put small toys inside and just get them one chocolate egg each.
My parents, gparents and DF's parents all came here for Easter dinner - had a great day. Then on Monday we all went to Butlins in Minehead until Friday.
Schools/Playgroups here go back on Thursday - seems kind of pointless They might as well just stay closed until Monday.
