phew, that's a relief. Then it's probably just an ulcer or cancer.
/e: can't believe this "who's preggers?"-question really works. Alright, there is a significant number of sexually mature females on here, but wow, it's like "I've been to the cinema yesterday.", "oh cool, I got preggers yesterday.", "oh wow, me too.". "Sounds fun, I will become pregnant now too."
Nearly 17 weeks. I'm due 31st July.
I've been having cravings, but nowt weird. I need salt n vinegar crisps, pickled onions, cheese and every so often campbells meatballs.
Yay!
Me neither!
lalalala
im not preggers. don't plan on having my first one until I'm at least 28! wanna be married, have a good career, be financially stable and live in a big house before having any. have none of that yet, lol.
i am almost getting broody..almost......
Aye, bad times.
We should start a new thread called 'Anyone not pregnant?' and I can go cry in it by myself
I have no man though so I am not pregnant. Wish I were though tbh.
I can have sex again now though... Woohoo!!! :yippe:
However I've only been with my boyfriend for four months in an LDR and haven't even started my career yet, still living at home... so babies not really an option right now.
Maybe in 5 years....:(
That'd go out the windown when you have kids anyway so that dunt matter.
Well having a career is REALLY important to me.... so I may as well have one whilst I can hehe.
Sometimes it goes out of the window anyway when you don't have kids but your (male chauvinist) employers think you've reached the age when you probably should :mad:
So yeah, have one when you still can! Or just work for people who aren't arseholes
so true.
I join your angry!
/e: it seems girls from the uk get a lot sooner pregnant than girls from austria. It seems so odd how everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
I think it depends on a lot of factors but I certainly only personally know a handful of people who have had children in their twenties and nearly all have been in the late 20's at that. Plus two people who had children by mistake during their teenage years - for example the entire time i was at school only one girl (in the whole school) had a baby (she ran away with her boyfriend whilst she was pregnant and it made the evening news!).
But there are big social and geographical divides - so (as is the rule everywhere in the world) if you've been to university you have children much later in life- also if you live in the South you have children much later than people in the North of the UK - for example in the North its normal to reproduce before you are 30 where as in the South especially London really unusual to have children before 30 - probably something to do with being more carrear focused and the extortionate cost of being able to afford a house to buy which most people want to do before they have children.
Ohh and having a baby doesn't mean your carrear is over - there are loads of examples of people who have good jobs and children - but i agree that if you have a baby early its much harder to climb up the ladder.
I want children whilst I am fairly young. Ideally no later than 25, I want to be reasonably young. That's still another 5 years max though, it sounds so long!
Under 25 isn't 'reasonably' young. It's just young! 30 is reasonably young for these purposes. Isn't it? Or am I going to be a past-it mother?
