Our nursery furniture is all assembled now! Made me very excited when I saw it all. Just can't wait to meet our little girl now.

 

[MissCindy]

My due date is 24th July and I'm team pink. The weeks seem to be flying by now!

Anyone received an appointment letter for a visit from the health visitor yet? I got one yesterday for the end of May, though have no idea what to expect as I grew up in France and it's a completely different system there. No such things as health visitors!

 

[Sugarpop]

It’s becoming very real. The last two weeks or so I have felt like I am a whale. Up till now it’s been really smooth sailing for me but now my skin isn’t is tight, I don’t feel it can grow anymore and I look like an umpa lumpa...

 

[Emmacharlotte]

I'm team pink and blue!
I will be induced 19th-26th june (37-38 weeks) x

 

[MamaWannabe]

I just realised today that after this week, I only have 8 weeks left of work to go! Cannot believe how close we are getting!

I think I will be just behind you

 

[Radleycat]

Can’t wait to hear about everyone’s babies as they start to arrive, it just seems almost unreal going from ttc to here. Let’s have a lovely last few weeks and get the babies out before it gets too hot! Lol

 

[Sugarpop]

Had my growth scan this morning and my 4D this evening. Baby was head down this morning and breach this evening

Sounds like me at the end of my work stint!!
I have just done two 13 hour shifts in a row and they were so busy that the second day I only had a half an hour break and sit down all day. 30 weeks pregnant with twins and I was almost in tears!! I think I've come to the realisation that I cant stay at work much longer.
I wanted to stay until 34 weeks and then take 2 weeks annual leave starting mat leave at 36 weeks just before they arrive.
That goal is looking more and more distant.
Radley what's your plan with work?

I honestly don’t know how you are coping with the shifts. I’ve been doing More office hours and even that I’m finding tough as time goes on.

Wasn’t sure what to do mat leave wise really but then I thought about it, most Mums finish 2-4 weeks ahead of their due date. So say 36 weeks for a single baby. Our due date is 37 weeks and babies are more likely to come even earlier than that. So I decided to stop at 32, take leave and then my mat leave kicks in at 37. Trying to delay the pay hit as much as possible but I just can’t carry on with it. Leave would be nice next year with the babies but I’ll still have a couple of weeks left to take when I get back so I figured now and my health is what’s important.

I turn 40 and basically I don’t go back to work after that. Might get bored, but I’m so tired I’m just needing to rest more and more and that’s only at 29 weeks.

I think I just had to realize that cooking the twiglets I’d a bit harder on the body and I need to give myself a break really. Went for a walk today (on crutches) and now my pelvis is killing

You’ve got an induction date already haven’t you, unless they come before...?
I hope we talk about that at 32 weeks as they said f all at 28.
