I think whatever age we are we are a woman as well as a mother & these can be very different people!<br /><br />Chickenruby - it's good to know there is life after motherhood! I often forget that I coped with my Daughter & I am capable of coping with another too. I definitely look forward to showing up my children on their 18th birthdays by being *that* mum!<br /><br />Mishmashmum - I am also grateful for this too. I desperately want a career & I often feel as though I've missed out but I remind myself that by the time I've had my children & they're in school I'll be just the right age to focus with no interruptions!<br /><br />Mammasaver - I think every pregnancy is different for every single woman. My first I was so excited (or naive) & now this detachment I feel has come as a shock. There are many factors to it but like I say every pregnancy is different & you telling me about your experience makes me feel happier that just because it's like this during the pregnancy it doesn't mean the feeling won't subside :) thank you!<br /><br />Thank you all & I can't wait to check out your blogs too :)Chloƫhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525391715106497339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751829905558881457.post-25024526468718598712011-10-25T20:53:25.474+01:002011-10-25T20:53:25.474+01:00I remember feeling rather similar when pregnant - ...I remember feeling rather similar when pregnant - a bit detached from the whole thing. <br /><br />To be honest, that feeling lingered until I got my little boy home!<br /><br />I reckon the fact that you're getting excited about baby things is an excellent sign that all is well and you will be just great come the day.<br /><br />Good luck!mammasaverhttp://www.mammasaver.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751829905558881457.post-21921101590320782122011-10-25T18:59:02.915+01:002011-10-25T18:59:02.915+01:00What a great post.

I think of my friends who will all have to interrupt their careers, should they choose to have children,whereas my thirties will be a chance to discover me again and pursue my career dreams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751829905558881457.post-64907048946837434582011-10-25T18:04:46.047+01:002011-10-25T18:04:46.047+01:00Hi, I was a first time mum at 20 and certainly bou...Hi, I was a first time mum at 20 and certainly bought what I needed to make life easier, although a single mum, I got most of my stuff as hand me downs and boot sales, I'm now 40 with 3 kids aged 19, 16 & 12 and don't regret for one minute having my kids young. I can go away over night, I can stay out late as they can cook their own tea, we go to the gym together, food shopping, I'm still in charge of discipline (just) and we have a great time.<br />Wishing you love and luck with the pregnancy.chickenrubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731936852696584642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751829905558881457.post-37336441238877297252011-10-25T16:49:55.567+01:002011-10-25T16:49:55.567+01:00Saying hi and that I am looking forward to getting...Saying hi and that I am looking forward to getting to know you better via your blog. Sometimes even know, it shocks me that I am a mum and supposedly responsible (if only they knew lol!) and your feelings will ring a bell with many mums. You want to be you, that is half the battle to being back in those dancing shoes and perhaps sooner than you think. All the very best with baby and you.katehttp://kateonthinice.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
