Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[bbymc]

God, suppose its good you've been told to rest though. It's always easier o do it when the advice comes from a professional. I hope the pain isn't too bad! You taking anything for it? It's quite a while til he 27th. I'd have thought they'd try and see you ASAP! What's your work sayin?

Yeah, I'd heard crunching ice was common. Weird thing to crave though eh? I had a lovely steak last night lol, so hopefully its not a sign of iron deficiency in me :-/

Sucks about the spd hun...

And that surely can't be a legal job if their not paying you for taking holiday's and paying you when you have apps what i joke, i would give that job up also.

I started my mat leave this monday and my last day is friday. yay.. so im counting down 2 days are done.

forgot what else i was going to say because Ryan ask what is there for eating lol. ooh i have to ring my midwife tomorrow as they called but i wasnt home when she took my blood last week they have came back little high and wants to know if i had anythin to eat before i went lol which i did lol x

 

[Kaybee]

Ouchie Laura that sounds painful

In early pregnancy having ice cubes was about all I could manage some days. Every now and then I fancy a glass of water with loads of ice. I am or iron tablets already

I have 1 week 3 days left to work

Work have been surprisingly ok about it but I guess they don't have a choice! I just need to get them to fill in the SMP1 form for me which is going to be a nightmare! I dont even know how I'll get there and back!

 

[bbymc]

Did you manage to get into work then Laura?

 

[lj2245]

Nah I can't go anywhere. I was supposed to go to Tesco today but Stephen had to go. I'm going to leave it until I've seen the physio and hopefully I'll be ok to drive.

Beginning to feel like this baby is going to burst out of me. He feels soooo big! I can feel the entire shape and outline of him now. Got my growth scan on the 13th and I don't think Stephen can make it because of work. They won't let him go in late (scan is at 12 and he starts at 1) because he will miss shift change over (which is essential) so he will have to swap his entire shift with someone else but it's proving difficult.

 

[bbymc]

Aw that's a shame he can't go! How you gona get there if you can't drive? I really hope the physio can help!!

How big was baby at your last scan? Hopefully he's not grown too much bigger!

 

[Kaybee]

Urgh I am feeling so rubbish

Felt really ill at work yesterday and ended up throwing up. my mum and her OH picked me up at work to go get my car (I park at their house) and offered for one of them to drive me home and the other would follow in my car. I said i would be fine but by the time i got to my car i changed my mind and was glad i did cause i ended up throwing up, in a bag, in my mums car on the way home got home went to bed and slept on and off for about 4 hours, got up managed a few bits of cereal and back to bed. Was up during the night being sick as well. My throat hurts too and was sore yesterday. Dont know if i have some kind of bug, dave and kaiden are both fine, or if its just been an increase in preggy hormones making me sicker. My throat often gets sore if I am a bit run down.

Didnt go to work today and am feeling quite sorry for myself.

How is eveyone else?

 

[bbymc]

Aww Karen. What a shame! I think there's a few bugs going around atm. My bro and his whole family have been ill as have my mum, dad and half the employees at my dads work. I've dodged it so far. Luckily!

Best you just take some time off and try to recover. It could be Hormones too though. I've been a bit more sicky recently and just put it down o that as I've not actually been sick.

 

[lj2245]

Aww no, you feeling any better now? It's always rubbish when you're ill but so much worse when you're pregnant and feeling lousy enough as it is

 

[Kaybee]

Thanks girls. I dont feel as rubbish as yesterday but took advantage of a wee nap when kaiden fell asleep this avo and woke up to be sick. Hoping its just because its near dinner time and will manage something to eat.

 

[arlene]

Hope you feel better soon hun!!

I had a total crap day at work and endes up in tears in the toilets!! Basically we deal with a lot of legal issues and if I send something out I shouldn't then I get a breach recorded against me. Since my Nana passed away in July and I fell pregnant in august I've had about twelve of these! So basically my work has been 2nd checked by someone else for a bit until I get reaccredited and they kind of truat me again. Last friday my reaccreditation went through and I was still getting 2nd checked and I got another breach on tuesday!! Which means my reaccreditation is almost nul and void and I have to do it again!!

I got so down about it today cos while my bosses were saying don't worry about it, I honestly feel like I just want do my bloody job!! I'm taking so much more time to check my work before I send it out but it's obviously not enough and I really helpless!! If it weren't for the fact I'd lose the tike at the other end I'd consider going on mat leave now!!

Sorry for the major vent but so needed to let that out!! Congrats if you made it through that!! Lol xx

 

[lj2245]

Maybe you are better going on mat leave just now, even if it does mean going back to work sooner. Your health is important and it's not good that you're so upset Sounds like you need some relaxation time. Have you no holidays you can take?

 

[arlene]

I've got one more day to take between now and march 26th when I start 3 weeks holiday then my mat leave starts on the 17th of April. I don't think my boss would have a problem with me going off earlier but I worry I'll be really bored, it's still 8 weeks til the wee man is due. I'll see how it goes over the next week or two and maybe have a re-think xx

 

[Cherrybump]

I agree hun you should think about goign on mat leave sooner. My last day is tomorrow and im sure happy that it is just cant work no more. Getting to be a right struggle and the customer keep p'ing me off i swear i could speak back to some of them but i have to bit my tongue. xxxx

 

[bbymc]

Sounds like you need a break Arelene. Could you not take a week of your three week holiday now rather than when you'd planned? That might give you some time to chill and nergy to work the last few weeks. Xx

 

[arlene]

I was off the week of the 4th of feb, I think I'll see how I go in the next week or two and then maybe speak to my boss about finishing up a bit earlier.

On the upside, I got my changing bag today John had overpaid on his credit card so got it for me. It's the grey circles slouch bag from Mothercare, love that I can use it as a handbag once I don't need it for James anymore. Gonna get his back packed and buy myself a new weekend bag from primark for me. xx

 

[CherylC3]

[lj2245]

Yeah I'm going on mat leave now going to claim MA soon

Where did you go Cheryl? I was the same when we went away, couldn't get comfy and then had the best sleep ever when I got home hehe

Well nesting has finally hit me! Just when I've been told not to do anything aswell. I think I'm so stubborn that being told not to do something has made me want to do it! Haven't went overboard but yesterday I gutted my room and got Stephen to move all the furniture around and I set up the Moses basket I'm just going to keep the asda one I have, it's so lovely in my room today I start the nursery!!! Hurrah! I'm just going to do what I can manage sitting on my ball though.
