Congrats Sarah xxx

 

[Tigger87]

Called up the hospital yesterday for my scan date - 7th Jan

Congratulations Sarah and yay for a scan date tigger!!

I've started looking at travel systems this week. I really liked the Silver Cross Wayfarer when I was in mothercare at the weekend, but there are some scathing reviews about the wheels online. None of them are recent, and the comments on the reviews say the wheels are much better after they're repaired. It seems a bit of a minefield, good job I don't plan on buying anything until January sales!

Congrats again sarah!

Ive updated front for both u and Tigger


Aw Jem i have a silvercross surf! Kept it from my little boy. I love silvercrosses!
My brother and SIL want the wayfarer, it looks nice!!
If u tested it out in mothercare and gave it a spin around the shop, see how u feel about the wheels xxx

Morning how's everyone?
I was very ill yesterday spent all day in bed, very constipated all day then in the evening my ibs flared up and I couldn't get off the loo (sorry for tmi) think I wound myself up tho as my work are trying to force me to leave before my mat leave starts so I won't get paid, huge amount of discrimination, I was a full timer but cut down to part time for mine and baby's health and they're not very happy with me, They said they've got a replacement in for me so no work for me (highly unlikely as 1 client will only have me and 3 other carers in his house) I'm off in today to have a word with them...hope my pregnancy mouth keeps shut!
I really don't seem to be having much luck with been pregnant all I seem to do is moan on these threads. sorry just feeling down and sorry for myself.xx

Hey, due on the 29th of May find out in 2 days if it's a boy or girl. Just added my ultrasound to the 1st trimester thread if anyone wants to have a punt for fun!! xxxxx

Hey welcome to PF & may mums!!

We have a lot of may babies for 2016!! think this is the busiest month yet! X

 

[Eaw123]

Can't believe we are, if not already, approaching half way. Gone so fast. Scan on thurs, so tempting to find out, but we won't!

 

[babyslog]

I no! Half way on Friday and scan on Monday! Eeeek!
Can't wait to see how much my gorgeous boy has grown ..


Aww ive also been signed off with PGP/SPD. Had it in my 1st pregnancy and its started already argh! I have been reffered to physio so hopefully that will start in the new year. I had such a bad time with it before. Can't moan as other than PGP i had a really easy pregnancy with Noah & so far easy this time too!
Its just a shame as im walking around like i shat myself with this hip pain lol! Xx

 

[Tigger87]

Ahh don't worry about having a whinge Andrea. It's what this place was made for!!! Better to do it amongst people who understand.

I can't believe how shitty some workplaces are being! Your wages this and next month I think (if you're monthly and due more toward the end of May haha!) are what SMP is based on so its important they don't mess you about now.

I'm FINALLY starting to feel a bit more normal. Baby's kicking a lot now - I've felt him at least 3/4 times in the past 24 hours. I'm really looking forward to that getting stronger!!

Eaw - your resolve to stay team yellow might just help me out! I'm still torn as to what to do!! Xx

 

[andreatav]

No I'm paid weekly! Been in for a meeting this morning and managed to keep my thoughts to myself! They apologised to me, think I'm sorted now with them anyway.

So....how's everyone?xx

 

[Eaw123]

Tigger i don't weather to sneak a peak when they scan that area or close my eyes... So hard!!! I don't want to be told tho.

 

[Jojo84]

If you tell them you don't want to be told they won't tell you and it's hard to guess unless it's a 3D scan.

We find out a week today today k bought a pink and a blue bauble for my kik on yo give her Xmas day depending on the sex... Meanwhile today my little boy had been feeling arty... I just wish I knew what it was supposed to be lol

 

[jenni16]

Eaw....maybe go with the thought that if you can see, then find out. If baby doesn't flash, then they don't want you to find out?! Lol

I'm suffering with the pgp/spd too. It's awful isn't it? :-/ Had it last time but not until near the end when it caused me to finish work at 34/35 weeks instead of 38 as planned. This time, it was one of the first symptoms that I had. I keep thinking about going to the doctors but I know there's not much they can do. I'm dreading my new work hours from January - 3.30-6pm every night. Evenings are the worst so I wonder how long I'll last......
Xxx

 

[andreatav]

Ooh I've gone from been yellow to wanting to find out! I'm a week today like you jojo! Gonna go shopping as soon as I find out!xx

 

[Tigger87]

Andrea that's how I am!!! Eaw last time, when we said we didn't want to know, she just didn't go down there so there wasn't any chance of accidentally seeing anyway. My scan is on my mums birthday and she's desperate to know, so it's swaying me a bit... Hahaha!!

Oh Jenni your work are being so poo can you get referred for physio??

Sausage and mash is cooking for my tea. I cannot WAIT! Can't decide whether to have gravy or just loads of ketchup?? One of life's major problems clearly!!! X

 

[jenni16]

Awh that'd be a lovey birthday present for your mum if you do find out, save you buying anything
Oscar flashed us on our 20wk scan, but the scan lady tried to convince us that we hadn't seen anything lol.
I know :-/ it's just one thing after another with work atm. My gp referred me for physio at 7 wks, but it was just a group session talking about the do's and don'ts. They said there's nothing they can really do other than just rest :-/ I might go and see what they say in the new year.
I say gravy btw xxx

 

[andreatav]

Ooh I'm so excited and it's one of the first appointments of the morning so I can't wait!! Not telling family till xmas day tho so it's a bit more exciting!
And I'd say gravy as well! Xx

 

[Tigger87]

Ketchup won :-D

 

[babyslog]

Aw jenni my physio is like a mini yoga/pilates class. Both oregnant women and early post pregnancy r there and we r all on mats doing movements. Helped me loads! And then i had a few sessions with 1-2-1 to show me ways to sit as i work at a oc desk.

Get a pregnancy pillow if u dnt have one already and that helped slightly (not a huge deal tho). Also ive out a soare duvet under out bed sheet to soften it all.
I dnt find resting helps. Sitting or laying for ages KILLS me!!! I go all stiff and its so hard to get up and roll off the bed already lol xx
