I love this forum and love reading all the happy/cute stories everyone writes!
I really want to join in the conversations as an expectant mother then new mum (was going to write as a yummy mummy, but that may be pushing it…lol!) but so far nothing. It obviously isn’t meant to be just yet… hubby thinks I have gone mad- I’ve got ovulation kits/calenders all over the place! Think I need to take a step back.
It is really weird but I wasn’t particularly maternal until about 6 months ago and since then can’t wait to have a baby! could be the biological clock ticking..
Inshallah, I and many others (girls I’m praying for us all to join this elite group!) will soon be able to participate in your chats.
Until then please pray for us all and continue to make us smile with your sweet stories.
Re: I want to join in the discussions as a mum too.....
oh boy, saheli, i hear you! i was SO fresh obsessed with the whole baby thing the last few months. it didn't help that every girl i knew was either pregnant or a new mom- on facebook, in real life, friends in other countries- it was just crazy.
and like with you, for me too, the need to have a baby came out of nowhere last june. and then it got really stressful and out of hand and quite a bit unhealthy, i'd say... sooo i went on vacation.
i was gone for three weeks and i spent the entire time so busy with shopping and socializing, that i didn't think about it even once. and now i feel a lot better about the whole baby thing. i'm relaxed and calm and refreshed and i feel like i'll have better luck this way. plus, i've also really* realised that while we do all we can, when we are successful is really up to God, so i'm not stressing if it doesn't happen this month or the next month or the next. i'm just going to have fun with it and insha'Allah it'll happen on its own, when the time is right, you know?
so yeah, welcome! and i'm so happy there is someone else here in the same boat. hop into discussions on Parenting as they are, and share your research and your tips, but don't stress about it. i've heard over and over that relaxing is step number one to conceiving! :)
and if you can, go on vacation with your hubby!
i knew it all along, of course, but it just really hit home after my vacation

Thanks Crystal bracelets!!
Somegroovychick I totally relate to you!!
I know that relaxing is meant to help but it seems a vicious circle! I'm going to take your advice and try and get away. I think you're right everybody around me seems to procreating and boy is the pressure on.
I've had hubby looking at trips away, marrakech seems to beckon.... here we go.
Inshallah we'll both have some fantastic news to share..... I'll keep you in my duas!
Thanks for the support and advice!
Re: I want to join in the discussions as a mum too.....
^ yaya marrakech! enjoy yourself and keep busy! its a good feeling to spend a whole day and then realise at the very end of the night that hey, you didn't think about ovulation, timing or temperature even once during the day!
Re: I want to join in the discussions as a mum too.....
Enjoy it!
I can't believe how time has flown by. It took us a little while to conceive, but still all the time trying to conceive and the pregnancy itself, it feels like it was just yesterday. I look at my little 8 week old, and I can't believe she's here and that wish has been fulfilled. It really hasn't hit me!
Re: I want to join in the discussions as a mum too.....
I'm in the ttc boat too-if anyone wants to talk to me instead of talking their husbands ears off you know where I am!
I can talk about charts, cm, lubes until the cows come home!
Re: I want to join in the discussions as a mum too.....
It kind of nice to see there are quite a few of wanting to undertake this lifechanging decision.
Princess 1983, I may just take you up on that offer!
I guess I'm a little tense as I'm due on soon so just waiting around- it's doing my head in!! Am trying not to talk to hubby about it, and don't want others too know how much it is bothering me- which doesn't help as I'm getting presssure from everyone!
including the , 'marnay se phele mai apne pota/poti ka moon dekhna chahti hoon' from the mil.
When it's meant to be it will be- but why don't people understand that??
Anyway that's enough of my rant today- sorry girls!
I'm keeping you all in my duas!
