May mummies and rainbows to be :)

[snowbee]

I don't think it is a problem with my diet as I eat low GI for my pcos, so hardly any sugar anyway. I suspect the problem is the high level of sugar that my body can't deal with and isn't use to getting? I guess I will find out Monday when they try again.

I also need to commence with the packing so we can get the floor boards up, the joy. I've now made a mess in every single room starting to sort things, whoops...

 

[Dovekie]

I started knitting...



Also had a massive breakdown this week! It's been awful I've been crying most of today and just keep worrying about the baby and how it deserves more.

 

[Eryinera]

Ive got no idea how knitting works its a mystery to me. All your baby needs is to be loved by you and it will be as happy as can be x (although they will still grow up and scream i hate you because you wont buy them an xbox one)

 

[nikkix86]

Aw dovekie why do you feel like that? You will be an amazing mum

 

[nikkix86]

Haha ery that sounds like my son except its a ps4!

 

[Eryinera]

Lol kids!..... why are we doing this again? Lol ❤️

 

[nikkix86]

Lol i know! Its my eldests birthday on thursday and hes got a laptop from me! Gets so expensive as they get older lol

Lol i know! Its my eldests birthday on thursday and hes got a laptop from me! Gets so expensive as they get older lol

This is so true. My son loves laptops, tablets, I pads etc. He is not into consoles but he has too many devices that all do the exact same thing!

Dovekie, I hope you're OK. Your baby will be loved and cared for and you will be an amazing Mum. You already are xx

 

[nikkix86]

I bought him a laptop that turns into a tablet kinda want it for myself haha 160 quid tho! And a ds game thats all hes getting from me oh and his party on thursday lol

 

[lisey]

Lol. Borrow it when he is asleep they are expensive. I couldn't believe the price of the ipad when I got it. Ridiculous really, I hate the set up of ipad and don't find them easy to use but he knows what he's doing so that's what counts. I prefer laptops for myself rather than tablets.

I think my baby is an acrobat this morning, she is going for it in there xx

 

[nikkix86]

Yeah so expensive guess its only once a year tho lol so stressed over moving day tomorrow lol

25+6 for me today and down to double figures!

My bump has really popped out which seems to have taken the pressure off my bladder as I was having to wee every hour at least! I've been at work all morning and not had to pee once, which is great.

I'm going to be busy packing up everything and I'll go through all the baby bits we have bought and make a list of what we still need so I can get those after the heating is fixed. I'm really excited but also really worried that something will go wrong. I'm so happy about things right now but I just find it hard to see this working out after all our bad luck. Anyone else feel the same?

 

[Eryinera]

Oh im totally feeling the sane snowbee. Like im wIting for the bubble to burst! But im excited too

 

[Emily0505]

I'm finding my anxiety peaks and troughs. It's high at the moment and I'm convinced it'll all go wrong and we'll loose her but then in a bit I'll feel much better and excited for her to get here.

It'll be double digits for me tomorrow too! Eeek!!

XX

 

[Dovekie]

Aw dovekie why do you feel like that? You will be an amazing mum

Because of my mental health. I'm convinced that it wouldn't be this bad if my boyfriend was kinder to me when I'm a bit down. I'm not allowed to feel down at all or he gets angry. Then I get insanely angry at him. I fell out with my Mam too as I told her I was thinking about moving back closer to them and she wasn't happy!

What's this sex that you all speak of? My boyfriend can't even hug me for long and I'm sick of asking for sex. I have to put his hand on the bump and his response when he moves is just "ugh!", and he pulls away.

Sorry for moaning

 

[lisey]

Oh Dovekie, I hope things improve for you xx

I won't allow myself to think negatively, sometimes the thoughts creep in but I quickly push them out. When I got pregnant this time I promised myself I would be positive, I drove myself to distraction in previous pregnancies and can't go through that. Thats not to say I don't feel anxious at times though xx

 

[kabuk1]

Nikki, I'm with you on the moving stress. I'm just taking a short break now. I really don't know how this will all be packed before the movers arrive tomorrow. Thank goodness I book them for 11am and not earlier. What's worse is that we won't really be comfortable for a couple of weeks as we've been renting furnished flats, so very little furniture. There will still be work being on on Monday as well, so won't be dust free yet either. I'm so tired and just want to shut the world out and sleep the entire weekend away.

2 more weeks. Just 2 more weeks. Then half-term is here and I can relax. And by then, most of our flat should be organised and ready for relaxation.

 

[snowbee]

Gosh Dovekie that sounds really tough. I don't know why he is being such an arse, my oh is desperate to feel our little one move more. I would be pretty hurt if he behaved how yours is so it is totally understandable that you are feeling in need of more support.

Good luck with the move tomorrow Kabuk and Nikki!

Maternity pay question, I see it says I have to notify my employer 15 weeks before my due date, which should have meant I told them last week but it says to give them my MATB1 form, which I've not had yet and my next midwife appointment isn't until I'm 28 weeks? Confused.com.

 

[lisey]

You have to tell them you are pregnant 15 weeks before but have to notify them 28 days before you intend to take mat leave so that's when you would have to give mat form by xx
