My daughter was 11 weeks old when I went back to work as it was needs must.
She went to an excellent childminder and I knew she was getting excellent love and care from her.
I would have loved to have packed work in, but it just wasn't feasible.
I certainly couldn't be ignoring my baby if it cried in the night and I couldn't be doing things like not using nappies. I just find that totally weird.

Hi as soon as I read this thread I thought hey dont even consider not having the baby. ~He or she is already here. I have just kind of skim read the thread and would like to say, I had a child of 6 still in nappies, but he did have special needs, his time to train was a bit later than most but hey ho, they are not babies or chidren for that matter, for long are they? What does it really matter if they are in nappies for a few more months in the general scheme of things, eh?
So Lulu honey, you enjoy this time, sod the cost, you will get there and your little one will bring lots or everything - take care of yourself.

HI Haven't posted for a while
Lula i will be joining you on your baby journey!
Just coming to trems with the fact that i am expecting my 4 child 20years after the first. I'm only 5 months into our IVA and this was very much a shock
My initial reaction was oh my god i need to get rid of it, we can't afford it, how will i be able to work etc etc
But having nearly lost it last week with a threatened miscarriage i've realised no matter what it takes i will try and have this baby
I've contacted my IVA company and they were very supportive. Will probably be able to miss a payment to buy all the stuff. Been looking on ebay at prams etc. We will then have to have a variation meeting if we to stop more payments or we need more income that the IP can sanction.
I'm not going to worry about it the last five months have been the best in about 6 years , no stress and virtualy worry free. I reckon that's why i've ended up pregnant
Best wishes to you Lula
How lovely tamzin. Babies born to older mothers are a real gift to be treasured - I know because my Mum was 42 when she had me back in 1964! This little one will give you much pleasure, and you will manage - after all you have done it before three times!
Make sure you look after yourself, and try not to worry as it sounds as if you have a very supportive IP.
Congratulations Tamzin - I bet it did come as a bit of a shock!
He or she will give you some rewarding times I am sure.

Congratulations Tamzin ....wow what fantastic news.
Glad you're IP is being supportive and I wish all the very best with your pregnancy. Make sure you take it easy, as Mel and Skippy have said, this baby is a gift.
My mum was 29 when she had me, which was quite old in 1953. I was 34 when I had my daughter.

Hopefully someone will pick up on this and we can arrange for email addresses to be swapped.
