Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 15, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2008 24th December? Sucks for the kid. I always thought it must suck to have been born on Christmas Eve/Day...only one set of free shit a year? Balls to that.This girl at school had her Birthday around that time of year... She got a pair of shoes one year from her particularly stingy folks and got told "one shoe was for her birthday and the other for xmas".. Harsh!

Paid Members Mike Castle Posted May 15, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted May 15, 2008 Mine's on 27th of December... which is worse... as no bugger would turn up to a birthday party if you had it during that week... and thus I had to have the part a few weeks early/late, and then no bugger ever remembers it (I'm yet to be wished a happy birthday on here... damn you all! ) Hell... of my mates only one really remembers it... thankfully was down his house for it last year, so we had a good time playing Guitar Hero and such anyway. My presents tho'... some socks and a fleece (and the fleece was from his parents, not mine! They got me the socks!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh!My sister's birthday is December 30th, and my Mum's was December 19th. Women, being women, are difficult to buy presents for at the best of times. Trying to find two gifts for them so close together was no fun at all. There's a girl at work whose birthday is December 25th, but I don't buy presents for her, so it's not so bad. Not so bad for me anyway, it's probably a bit shite for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Duane Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) 24th December? Sucks for the kid. I always thought it must suck to have been born on Christmas Eve/Day...only one set of free shit a year? Balls to that.My nephew's birthday is actually on Xmas Day and doesn't usually get a birthday party but did last year I think about a month late.It's funny when he was born we wanted my mum and dad to come to ours for Xmas Day as the old 'uns take it in turns which of us they see on Crimbo but my sister expecting her 3rd child wanted to keep my mum and dad available to go and help out down there with the other 2 children, low and behold in the middle of the night on Xmas Eve they got the call to go down to Chichester Edited May 16, 2008 by Dynamite Duane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kookoocachu Posted May 20, 2008 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2008 Your baby is fine. /little britain.:)Just got back from my antenatal appt.She confirmed my SPD (symphisis pupis) and has referred me to an in hospital specialist to see aswell as my normal physiotherapist. Confirmed my strange pains and tummy tightening as Braxton Hicks, which i didnt think you could get this early in pregnancy but turns out you can! and that the pain i get with them is nothing to worry about unless accompanied by bleeding etc.Listened to Dyllan's heart, it was a little slow but that was because he was asleep and is not at all happy with me now after all that poking around!My BPs a little low but thats a good thing.And i'm now considered low risk So im back to midwife led care full time now :)Very productive day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted May 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 20, 2008 Even if you think it'll make him unique, the poor fucker's going to be spending the rest of his life going "no, two Ls..." and always having his name spelled incorrectly on forms. Seriously, it's like calling a kid Indiana Jones and sentencing him to a life of people singing the theme tune or making a whip-crack noise, especially when he meets someone new for the first time. Why create all that bellyache, he won't thank you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why create all that bellyache, he won't thank you for it.Couldnt give a crap whether he likes his name or not, he can change it when hes old enough, i've lived my life with a funny spelt first name, middle name and surname and guess what? i just got on with it. my girlfriend was due her period on sunday and was due to go back on pill 2moro..only got th teeniest spot of blood yesterday ..are we ok or what?What do you mean due to go back on the pill???Do you mean she was on her seven day break???If the oral birth control is microgynon then you can have unprotected sex during the 7 day break and you'll be safe, providing that she hasnt missed one 2 months before, and starts it again straight away on the 7th day.Anything can make your period lighter, heavier, and even not come at all. Periods are strange things. If it is Microgynon shes on (and it sounds to me like she is) then I would personally advise her to take a test just to put your minds at rest as you WONT wait all the way until her next periods due date. Chances are, shes not pregnant, but im paranoid with microgynon.I was on Microgynon for 6 years, never missed one, trusted it completley and then found out i was pregnant. I was piggy backing my pills aswell so i skipped about 6 periods in total so i had no clue how far along i could have been but luckily it turned out that it was that month that i conceived.I was extremley miffed at the fact that when you start it, the doctors say its the best out there blah di blah, and then when i told them when i found out i was pregnant all i got was "oh yes it does happen!"Yeah, great, thanks My biggest concern was whether or not the pill was doing any harm, but they all assured me that baby is perfectly safe with microgynon, so, if your worried about that, dont be :)If you need any more indepth info feel free to PM me :)I worked in womens health for a while so i know quite a bit on all different types of contraception :)Good luck and hope your happy what ever the result is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny McBride Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 My birthday is Christmas day. It's not so bad, really. My parents were always very, VERY careful about separating the two events though. Morning - wake up, open presents from Santa, go to mass, come home. Christmas dinner in early afternoon, then it's birthday time. Open my birthday presents, then off to spend the evening with my granda and my mum's sister's family. I got my birthday cake there, and when I was very young, I was convinced that was the real reason we were there, and the exchanging of Christmas presents at that point was just because it was the most convenient time to do it. Only one person has ever bought me a joint present and that was one of my pals in primary school. I don't hold a grudge over it. The only gripe I have is the lack of parties. No-one has the time to do much around Christmas, and most people are saving their pennies too. Then there's Hogmanay, then everyone's always totally broke in January, so that's a dead loss too. A couple of years ago my girlfriend and a couple of mates organised a meal with cake and suchlike on 25/11 which was fun, but not really the same. When I was a kid though, my folks always tried to do something special with me on June 25th, for my "half birthday." It wasn't a proper full-on celebration, but at least I knew I had something to look forward to and we usually did something cool.Now I'm so old, birthdays don't really feel like something I want to celebrate. NOAH is my half-birthday trip this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkandblackattack Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Listened to Dyllan's heartPlease let that be a typo. Whats the point of throwing in the extra L?

Couldnt give a crap whether he likes his name or not, he can change it when hes old enough, i've lived my life with a funny spelt first name, middle name and surname and guess what? i just got on with it. It might seem like a nice quirky name at this moment in time, but as others have said, it's your son that will pay the price. 'Not giving a crap' is not really becoming of a mother to be and I'm sure once he is born and you look into his inocent little eyes you'll not want to do anything that could ever cause any kind of discomfort. Kids can be very cruel, and while you 'got on with it' your son is not you and he may be affected - why risk that with what will be the most important person in your life? Dylan with just the one L is still a lovely name, maybe even more so given that you can sleep easy knowing you are not creating unnecessary hassle for your little boy. It may sound harsh, but think of him, not you. Whatever you decide, good luck with it all - hope it goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
