It's ok. Work rang and it's all sorted
Phew

Glad your work is all sorted out eaw, nothing worse than when they mess up your pay.

Glad your feeling a bit better Jenni and definitely take the antibiotics as the infection could travel up into your kidneys otherwise. This happened to my sister recently after she ignored the pains and she became really poorly.

I'm still in a lot of pain but managed to stay up in bed last night. I have added 2 quilts under my sheet to make the bed softer and had taken tramadol before going to bed and half way through the night.

Hubby is going to be off work for a least 3 days to help with the boys and take me to some appointments. MW tomorrow, scan Wednesday and cats to the vets on Wednesday too so that's one less thing for me to worry about.

Hope you are doing OK emmam? xx

Glad things are easing off for people. My mw did call me back yesterday to say my blood tests were fine. I've got to carry on with the iron tablets as although those levels have come up they're not where they should be so I'm on them until the bitter end. But there was no problem with blood sugar/glucose levels so I don't have to have the gtt now which I'm relieved about.

On another note. I've bitten the bullet today and finally started washing some baby clothes.

Im ill again

Streaming cold and terrible sore throat.
Seriously every other week im ill. So is Noah! Since christmas. Both been constantly unwell argh!

 

[Emmam1982]

After a good nights sleep on Saturday I should've expected a bad night, dunno how long I was laid awake for but it was daylight when I finally fell back to sleep.
Another rainy day here so another day that the turf isn't going to get laid.
I think nesting is slowly kicking back in but I'm trying not to do too much that involves standing-going to get my bag finished today and ring housing benefit if nothing in the post x

 

[Eaw123]

Wish my nesting would start first day of may leave and I'm bored and feeling sorry for my self, no idea why! Can't wash baby clothes yet as its a miserable day here but I do need to do some house work as I have health visitor coming tomorrow and I'd also like to start sorting the nursery.

 

[jenni16]

The doctor wasn't sure about giving the antibiotics in the first place, he said guidelines suggest waiting it out, drinking lots etc unless bad symptoms. So we agreed that I'd take the prescription and see how I go today/tomorrow and start if I have any more pain etc. I feel totally fine again today so hoping its clearing with the amount I've been drinking lol.

First day of Mat leave here too, I had so much planned but Oscar has woken up poorly again never ending lately, what is it with these boys?! So I'm getting stuck in with cleaning and tidying while he has a nap (hopefully a nice long one!) xxx

 

[Emmam1982]

I've finally finished packing my hospital bag apart from a flannel because they're new and need washing and some drinks.
Also put the bouncer chair together and took packaging off baby bath etc. Moved my maternity pads into my en suite ready x

 

[Eaw123]

I've just rearranged the kitchen and brought down the prep machine and steriliser etc left them in the box but in the kitchen they will stay now. But I've just decided I'm going to b&q to get some paint for the kitchen lol

 

[jenni16]

I'm so desperate to get all that sort of stuff down from the loft and get it all set up - Moses baskets (one upstairs and one downstairs), bouncer, steriliser, perfect prep....but with having the house on the market we need to try and wait as long as possible as we really haven't got the room

 

[Eaw123]

Must be horrible waiting as the excitement is too much sometimes. I'm holding out on putting the bouncer together, but the nursery is in desperate need of sorting. It's bee the baby dumping ground since we started collecting bits and with 4 weeks left until due date I really need to get my bum in gear

 

[Emmam1982]

I've now got family support and child services coming tomorrow afternoon so gonna have to scrub the house later-as you do lol.
Because of the domestic assault I've seen child services once but she'd signed it off...family support came last week to ensure baby's dad is doing everything he should so we can hopefully build the relationship back up but because we'd asked if he could stop overnight when Logan's born it's thrown it all back in the air again....I've got nothing to hide but could do without them x

 

[babyslog]

Aww sounds so muxh stress still Em

Oh i finally heard from HB.. Im gettig a few hundred off them. But had a letter then to say from 30th May im only entitled to £20.98!? Doesnt make sense!
I was going to go down to the office today but im full up with a cold so ill go at some point in the week to see what they mean?
They mentioned in the letter somethig about only allowing to give me 13wks worth cos i could previously afford my rent. Well yes thats cos i was in a realtionship and now im not and i live alone! Argh!!!!

New it wasnt going to be simple x

 

[Emmam1982]

That doesn't seem right....give them a ring and explain-make sure you keep them up to date with wage slips aswell as that can alter your entitlement xx

 

[babyslog]

Aw ive aldo booked a reassurance scan for sunday.
I keep having dreams i give birth to his foot & as im planning a homebirth i dnt make it to hosp in time. Some dreams i do n have to have a c sec.
It keeps replaying nearly every night!

MW wasnt 100% sure he was head down either on my last app!
So im paying to crck for piece of mind lol

 

[babyslog]

That doesn't seem right....give them a ring and explain-make sure you keep them up to date with wage slips aswell as that can alter your entitlement xx

They gave had 4 payslips off me now n every one us the same to the penny. Thei letter doesnt make sence at all.
Ill call them tomorrow, not in the mood to argue with anyone today haha x

 

[Emmam1982]

Mine never make any sense....on my last claim they used to randomly recalculate it even though I wasn't giving any extra information to them and nothing was changing, I'd suddenly get a payment in my bank and a letter saying recalculation x

 

[babyslog]

The letter with the breakdowns make no sense to me either! Its page after page of doff amounts They r paying me from feb till may.
I defo need to call or book a meeting n ask wtf it means! Xx

 

[Emmam1982]

Yeah it all seems random amounts...all I look at is earned income and the net total to be paid lol.
I've just rung them and the email I sent last Tuesday still hasn't been scanned on the system?! Why an email has to be scanned on is beyond me x

 

[Emmam1982]

Just waiting for tri-age nurse to ring me back to see if they'll prescribe me summat for this bloody leg x
