Finally told my mum!

by EmzH 27th April 2015, 11:13 pm

I was being a total wimp & was teally unsure whether i should tell her but after a good long chat with one of my friends - & the fact i'm living at home at the moment - i came round to telling her about it all.

Her first reaction was "i thought you were going to say you're pregnant!!" So i think it was less of a shock than that & she's been really supportive - even offering to pay off my balance & me just pay her back so i don't have to pay interest on the finance!

It feels like a real weight's been lifted as well. I felt awful bot tellingher but didn't know how to so i just kind of blurted it out in the car this afternoon!x

Good old mums ( not that your mums old!..lol) she's probably glad you were able to tell her & will want to fuss after you during your recovery.

I'm glad you feel better for telling her and it means so much to have their support doesn't it.
How lovely of her to offer to pay your balance too. Great that you're still at home and your mum will help to look after you I'm sure. Really pleased for you hun xx

It must feel so good to know your mum is supporting you, well done on telling her. xx

It feels so nice doesn't it! Im happy for you it will be so good to have that extra support after the op and help with the balance too! My mom was pretty much the same she wasn't impressed at first then she came round she's ok about it now and paid off my balance and I am paying her back as well!xo

I bet that's a relief! I was the same as you, dreaded telling her and just blurted it out randomly! She was really positive and supportive though which was a big surprise! Exciting times for you!

Im glad to hear your mum was so supportive :-) they only want the best for you! My mum was the same, i was worried she would try talk me out of it.. Shes a real worrier ha, but she didnt. Its such a relief when you have the most important person in your life supporting you :-) xx

So pleased to hear your mum was so very supportive and even offering to help financially, bless her heart. So pleased your mum is now involved with your journey :)

As above really, just glad it's "off your chest" now lol!
Having that support will mean the world of difference post op, so glad your sorted.
Not long now yahoo

by muddypaws 28th April 2015, 10:42 am

Oh that's great, both my mum and dad were great too but I only told them a couple of weeks before the op.

It's such a relief isn't it, it kinda made it all feel very real to me too once they knew x

Another step closer to your big day!! yahoo

I told my mum and sisters and there supportive as they know how long it's bothered me. But I'm really struggling to tell my hubby's parents, how nuts is that. I just know the face his mum is GONA pull lol
But ffs I'm 31, why do I care!?

They would help put with the kids though so it seems silly not to tell them. However, i don't want my kids to know and they seem to have such big gobs....lol
But, we shall see! I still undecided. ...

Great news hun :) My mum was brilliant and came to the hospital with me too. I couldnt of done it without her! She was a saint when I was recovering too, making me food and washing my hair etc.

You deff did the right thing telling her and I'm glad she is supporitve :) xxx

by Mammamia 28th April 2015, 1:37 pm

Twinky I still haven't told my in laws! I love them but just didn't feel comfortable telling them. Sometimes I wish I had told them as I have to occasioanally watch what I wear. But now i think it's too late to say something as they'd probably be disappointed I didn't feel comfortable enough to say something sooner!

by Twinky 28th April 2015, 3:12 pm

It's a tough one isn't it mama Mia. We go on holiday with them 2 weeks before the ops I'm defo not telling them before the holidays, or I know I will feel uncomfortable in front of them in my swimsuit.
So maybe will tell them afterwards. It's the blabbing to others ....

by EmzH 28th April 2015, 3:19 pm

I feel SO much better for it! It seems ridicuolous that i'm 26 & was scared of telling her but she was so unshocked & just wanted to know info as soon as i told her that i feel stupid for having been so nervous about it. She's coming to my 7day post op appointment & stuff like that now as well.

I felt a bit bad because my op's while they're on holiday so she said she'll be worrying the while time but i said either me or my friend that's coming with'll let her know how it's all going x

by sarahlou222 28th April 2015, 7:24 pm

Awww I bet it feels so much better now.

I did a similar post about telling parents, my mum knew about 5-6 weeks before but I told me dad about 10 days before! - I was worried what he would say.
I didn't want to not tell them I was having an operation and them to think I had lied to them! Could not believe how supportive they were.. I send my mum pictures and we talk about them as if I've had them years! xx

Oh you must feel such a relief thats great ! Now the whole thing must feel really real !

I have been so busy lately I havent had time to follow everyones progress, have you found a size you are happy with now ?? not long to go !!

by EmzH 29th April 2015, 10:12 am

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] it was such a relief! She's been great as well! So real now! I'm counting down (oddly) in gym sessions...5 to go!!

Yeah, went back to the surgeon & chatted about everything again & decided on 325cc (possibly 325 in one & 300 in the other - he'll decide on the day) i can't belive it's less than 2 weeks away x

by MrsF 29th April 2015, 10:16 am

Haha in gym sessions. I think that makes sense !
So exciting its come round so fast x x x

by EmzH 29th April 2015, 9:58 pm

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] i think it's because i know how much i'll miss it so been trying to go as much as possible around work! This week seems to be dragging a little but i think it's a combination of wanting my op to come round & being a bit quieter at work. Need to properly sort my op day list!xx
