Maternity Allowence

Ahhhh bless her How old is she?

My little boy who was 5 at the time is having problems with his immune system. It is attacking his red blood cells which makes his heamoglobin (sp) drop. That's why he had to have the blood tranfusion. It's still going on now nearly a year on and he is on steroids to suppress his immune system.

It was so scary especially when they are trying to explain and all you can think of is it's the worst! We are just so grateful it's nothing life threatening!

shes 23 months so felt awful as she was petrified of all the hospital staff.

kids just love making their mummies worry. even though im a 3rd year studet nurse, i dont make a good patient and i was soooo nervous and didnt really listen to what was going on

 

[KJLorraine]

Wow you are doing fab! Having children and studying aswell!

I would like to be a midwife but juggling kids, house and study has put me off

Might have to be a maternity assistant instead or something like that in a hospital enviroment. We'll see

i have yet to go back and finish my last year, but to be honest i dont think i will. ive been working self employed since coming off maternity leave and quite like the freedom.

plus nursing is all paper work and not alot of actual care unless your giving out drugs or thers an emergency. If i could live on a low wage i woulg go work as a carer but mortgage is too high. and carers dont get paid alot unless you work a 60 hour week

Yeah it's a nightmare juggling work and kids just life in general really seems to be hard

Maybe when my 3 are older and I have more time for me I will look into getting a career. Hopefully there will be plenty of time for that later on!

yeah im the opposte now, im trying to launch 2 businesses, then take a step back and concerntrate on family life. fingers crossed. i want lots more babies, soon as 1 baby is born i seem to be broody again within a week lol

 

[KJLorraine]

Wow 2 businesses thats great! Good luck

As for being broody I think I will spend the rest of my life being broody but this is deffinatly the last one! It took a LOT of persuading to have this one so I really don't think I will have anymore. Unless we win the lottery
