Both sickness and exhausted oh bless you. I haven't had a very good weekend. Husband had he's children from previous relationship round today, I went out to do some shopping to give him some time with them and when I came home I found out they have slap cheek, so the ex had sent them over with it thinking I would be here knowing full well I'm pregnant. Thanks god I went out!

Oh no what a cow bag! I was reading about this earlier and it said that they are only worried about it if u are less than 20 weeks pregnant. So you should be fine but I know I wouldn't like it! I bet ur counting down the weeks til maternity now. It's mad isn't it if someone said at the beginning of ur pregnancy Ul be dealing with sickness for 26 weeks you'd never believe them! Just shows how strong u r xx

 

[jemfox]

I know but she doesn't actually know how far along I am, only that I'm pregnant so I'm pretty pissed off!!
Lol I know I had absolutely no idea pregnancy could be this difficult, I was very naive I think! Brought some stuff to pack in my bag to take to hospital today, got a nightie with a fox on it and it says "foxy" made me chuckle coz my surnames fox lol....the midwifes will probs think I'm loony!

Morning ladies, Jemfox that is awful of the ex to send the kids over with slapped cheek when your pregnant, I would be worried too. Sorry work is being so tough too, I dread to think about working full time hours and feeling sick.

I'm doing my first shift back to work tonight and I am so worried about how I'm going to be feeling. Hoping harry has a good nap this afternoon so I can try and get some sleep before

 

[kanga86]

Being up all night xx

 

[jemfox]

Hey kanga, I know I'm disgusted, im tempted to give her a piece of my mind but then again in I do I'm just sinking to her level, husband doesn't see the seriousness of what she's done so things are strained between us now.

I havent gone in to work today, I've been awake most of the night and been sick, also getting some cramps.

I hope work goes ok for u tonight, the first shift is always the toughest but hopefully Ull get back in the swing of things.

I'm Ummmmming and arrrrring about going doctors and getting signed off again, feel bad for my work messing them about but I really don't want to stress or tire myself out anymore and get rly bad again

Xx

 

[kanga86]

I'm feeling super stressed tonight and in turn feeling really sick why does work have to be so hard!

Hope your feeling a bit better after a day off Jem? Your work are messing you about expecting you to be able to work full time and not considering your needs regarding patients. If you need to go off sick then do it, you need to think of you and baby not your work.

I think I might extend my phased return and do two weeks of just the one shift, depending on how tonights shift goes. Then do 2 weeks of two night shifts then go back to my full 3 shifts xx

 

[jemfox]

I know now I feel like I have to go in tomorrow but don't really feel well enough.

Ide defo recommend extending the phased return! I hope tonight goes okay for you, let us no. Just don't let urself get hungry or thirsty coz I found that can make the sickness worse.

Xx

 

[kanga86]

I hope tonight goes well too, gonna have my drinks and polo's at the ready plus a packed lunch for our 2am break.

See how you feel in the morning for work, don't go if your still not right though it will only make the rest of the week harder xx

 

[jemfox]

Bless you tho, hopefully ur not too busy and can relax.

I know I just hate ringing in work lol I'm a wimp xx

 

[kanga86]

Not even 2 hours in and I feel like crap, feel so sick xx

 

[kanga86]

2am break time although I have barely been able to function the last hour, plus been sick think I returned to work too early! Not sure how I'm meant to do the 2 shifts I've been put down for next week xx

 

[jemfox]

oh no kanga, how are u feeling now? guessing ur asleep? ive got docs in a hour, work last week has knocked me out so please go off again if ur still not right.

xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hi girls sorry kanga ur feeling unwell. Have u decided to get signed off again? Think it's prob best for u can't imagine doing a night shift. Jemfox what did the doc say? We and dh went away for the night to a spa Monday was so nice to get away first time I ate dinner and didn't heave after! How r u Steffy? Mummymidwife? Xxx

 

[kanga86]

It was an awful shift, but I can't see me going off sick again. I'm not due back in til sat 5th april now and doing sat and sun night. So I have plenty of time to hopefully feel less sicky as I will be 16 weeks then so hoping it will get easier.

Not managed to get much sleep today slept 6:30-8:30am when harry woke up, took him ti a baby group and to our friends after. Got home around 2pm, he was asleep but woke at 3 then the phone woke me twice. So only managed 4-6pm as harry fell back to sleep so feeling rather exhausted and looking forward to bedtime soon!

How did the doctors go jem?

Glad you had a good time away at the spa keeptrying and that you didn't heave after dinner, simple things make is happy with hg lol xx

 

[jemfox]

Spa sounds lovely keeptrying I'm jealous! Sorry to hear ur first night back wasn't great kanga, maybe wait it out and seehow the next couple of shifts go? How u feeling today?

Well the doctors signed me off for rest of pregnancy, he said I'm just having a very rough time and shouldn't compare myself to other pregnant people because every single pregnancy is different, he mentioned writing me a note for reduced hours but I said my work didn't want me to do that so he just signed me off til mat leave, im sort of relieved but will miss my friends at work. Also they didn't sound best pleased when I rang and told them!

I need some advice ladies, yesterday morning baby was moving as normal, then I didn't feel anything else until about 5am, im getting the odd taps atm but nothing like she usually does. When should I be worried!? I know her routine lol and it's not normal.

Xx

 

[kanga86]

Glad to hear your doctor is on your side jem, sounds like the best plan to stay off until your maternity leave. Do you get paid sick pay fom your work? I'm not sure about movements other than to have a ice cold drink and lie very still after and see if you get any movements. If your worried phone your maternity ward hun

I'm feeling worse this morning than yesterday feeling quite sicky and I have a banging headache which is all in my neck and eyes as well. Wish I could stay in bed, but up with harry. Hoping for an easy morning with him xx

 

[jemfox]

Yeah I'm entity to full pay because have been there a while. May need to ring midwife if baby doesn't wake up soon. She had a mad 10 mins but now nothing.

Aww that shift has Obviously knocked u out for a few days have u managed to eat anything?

Xx

 

[kanga86]

That's good your off on full pay, that's one less thing to worry about. These babies like to give us a hard time of it! Phone your midwife or maternity ward if your worried, they will get you in for a ctg trace. I had to have one done with Harry, he didn't move all day then I got to the hospital and he was non stop lol but they are there to help and didn't make me feel bad about going in either.

I'm feeling a bit better now, luckily the paracetamol have taken the edge off the pains in my neck and eyes. Had a small bowl of cereal and a crumpet so doing ok food wise. I did have a can of Pepsi but Harry threw it all over my sofa so had to strip that and wash the covers lol

Also although it's early I'm sat trying to work out when I can go on maternity leave, I went at 32weeks with Harry and didn't have him til 41+4 so had nearly 10weeks off before he arrived. Thinking off trying to hold out at work a bit longer this time. But maybe use my holiday to reduce my hours in the weeks leading up to maternity leave. Need to talk to my boss about whether this would be possible and how much holiday entitlement I have etc thinking of having my last day at 37 weeks which is the last day of August and then have all of September to get ready for baby and spend quality time with Harry. I would be due back 1st June and tag 2 weeks holiday to the end so officially back 15th June xx

 

[jemfox]

Had to giggle at harry launching Pepsi over ur sofa sorry! And glad u managed to eat

Deciding maternity leave is a nightmare isn't it. I'm also having 9 months off. (well that was the plan until docs yesterday) was going to start it at 36 weeks take 8 months maternity and the last month being my holiday to boost my wage before I go back, im going to go back part time too, husbands a postman so the idea is him to work mornings and I work afternoons!

Duno if I've asked u already but u planning on finding out sex?

Baby's perked up abit now but still not as lively as normal, I used my doppler and found hb straight away. Can I still call of she isn't moving like normal or does it have to be when she doesn't move at all?

I brought my changing bag yesterday! And.already packed it lol I got a tad excited.
