Do you have sisters

mamato2more · Sep 30th, 2009, 09:32 AM

With things like taking the other children, if you have them, help with BF'ing, all the baby questions we all have? Just curious..I have two sisters, and several sister-in-laws..With my first, my sis was so much help!! Curious what kinds of support systems are out there..

I have a sister with two small children... she has just met a new fella though so is a bit absorbed with him at the moment so not very chatty about my pregnancy which is a shame!! My mum and mother in law are great though - although a bit 'old school'... I am finding B&B the best support system at the moment to be honest!

I have a sister but she's younger than me and has no kids. We get on really well though, she makes me laugh when I tell her about pregnancy stuff and she freaks out

I have no sisters, but I do have a sister-in-law, but we don't get along at all. My main support system is my mom, even though her last birth was 26 years ago. B&B helps the most.. up-to-date info with other women going through the same thing at the same time.

My sister has been really helpful since i've been pregnant. Shes 4 years older than me, and has a 20 month old.

She lives quite far away, but since i fell pregnant we have spoke everyday! She's been giving me a lot of good advice (and a few home truths about labour!)....who knew the nurses take you off for a walk-in shower shortly after birth, and help you with it (she said she was completely unprepared for this and it freaked her out!!)

But B&B has been a great support for me....much to my OHs dismay as he can never get me off the PC!

nope I have no sisters, my SIL doesnt have kids and neither do most of my friends.... sounds like a cliche but the best support I had was from my mum!!!

I have a sister but we don't get on and I was the first to have a baby anyway so her advice would fall on deaf ears!
