mtmnleg, :hugs: I'm sorry to hear your new boss sucks. Can you speak to HR or someone else about the situation? Or can you arrange to work later on one day and so you can leave for your appointment the next? Hope everything works out. :hugs:

I tried that today, I thought that would be a great idea! HR said it is at the discretion of my new manager...and guess what she said no:(
Which is completely ridiculous!! Thank you for the hugs and warm wishes :)
 
Morning snowflakes :)

I've been told by midwife I have a uti and have been prescribed cephalexin, has anyone taken this during pregnancy?
 
Thank you ladies, hopefully find out today if he is being moved to a bigger better hospital only downside is its a lot further away which will mean more travelling about 50 miles a day but they are better equipped to deal with this type of thing my localish hospitals are pretty basic. Does kind of feel like im running on empty. my husband is the stricter of the two of us so i think the girls are taking advantage but im pretty hot tempered at the moment so my mum has had them a few times but she works nights a lot.. hoping he will be home soon FX.. I am also 15 weeks today!!! 4 months next week... still not had a letter for my 20 week scan is that right? feel i should have had one by now
 
mtmnleg - god thats hard, here if you are pregnant you get all your scan appointments and docs appointments off and paid for.

Well am having a bit of a rough time atm me and OH nearly split up for good last night, we are fine now we both love each other so much we r going to try again but have said that if we end up questioning our relationship again then no matter how much we love each other we think it will b best to try n b separate, we have just been arguing so much recently i think its just due to the stress of everything of not having a house having a baby on the way and i also found out last week my mum has cancer, and she has to go in on friday for her op to get it out and to check that it hasn't spread else where. I think i've just got too much going on atm, i just hope me and OH can work through this cz he means the world to me xxxx
 
Thanks ladies :) it has seriously just popped out over the last week! I finally look a bit pregnant and not like the fatty who has eaten all the pies :haha:

juless - Thatg's fab news they've changed the rules just in time for your scan :yipee: let's hope baby doesn't get stage fright and will show it's bits!

mtmnleg - I'm really sorry your boss is being a dick :hugs: Not much advice to give as sounds like we have complete different laws over here in the UK. Pregnant women are quite heavily protected against any kind of discrimination in the wrokplace and we are given paid time off for any antenatal appointments too. Do you not have any thing like that in the over there?

mummyof2girlz - Happy 15 weeks! Did you not get booked in for your 20 week scan after having your 12 week one? I did, not sure it's the same everywhere though. I'd ring them up if I was you, if you've been missed out and then they find out too late you might not get in at 20weeks and have to wait even longer.

Sara - Sorry to hear about your mum & your fight with OH :( :hugs: Sounds like you have got loads going on right now, and pregnancy hormones don't help the matter either.
 
11 weeks 5 days scan.jpg

Here is my scan at 11 weeks 5 days but its not the best of pics tht she could of taken and pic tht i have taken but OH has gone and lost our pic lol so i will have ti take a new one when i go me mums cz i gave her one xxxx
 
Awww lovely pic Sara :) Your OH lost your scan pic!? This is why I don't trust my OH to take ours out of the house :rofl: he would lose it too!
 
Lol, that reminds me I was supposed to give DH our scan pics to bring to work.. but I forgot... lol

mtmnleg, sorry hr didn't work. I work at a bank so maternity leave is almost like a rite of passage cuz it is so common. We don't officially get time off for doctors appointments, but our bosses and hr always want to make sure we are happy and not complaining so they give us a lot of flexibility. Did you mention that you won't get paid maternity leave anyways? So can you just start looking for another job? Are you planning on working after the baby?

I feel like my belly has gotten smaller, DH disagrees.. I've always had a fold in my stomach, and not from fat, just how my stomach is shaped right along where my belly button is. So now that I'm pregnant my belly has pushed out but the fold is still there so if you don't know me I really just look fat. I'm eager for my belly to pop out so that fold goes away and it is obvious that I'm pregnant. :(

Yup he is hopeless honestly, I think he's left it at he's aunties farm and if he has that's the last we will see of it as there havin loads of work done, unless dan finds it when he's doin some of the work he's a pleb head lol, gutted now tho cz I'll have to scan either my mums or his mums ad we will jus har to have a copy n they can have the proper prints. Did the sonographer tell anyone that you have to pay for your pics at the next scan, if so how much are they not bothered at all about payin jus think it's bloody stupid lol xxxx
 
It varies hospital to hospital, some are free and others are scandalously priced! My hospital charge £2.50 per photo x

I have been prescribed antibiotics for a sinus infection...I have been nervous to take them but I can't stand the pain anymore. I keep thinking why would a Dr. prescribe them if they weren't safe. I still have waited 3-4 days but today I am starting them to ease my suffering! I am sure you will be fine too hun! :)
 
Got a box of goodies from Mom yesterday! A crib set, come baby clothes (mostly onesies), a formula carrier and a Moby! Loving it.

Hi ocean_pearl - I've checked the British National Formulary for you (this is the most up to date record of drugs that Doctors prescribe and lists contra-indications etc). It states that Cephalexin is not own to be harmful in pregnancy.

Ooh, how fun. I'm in need of anything baby right now. I'm just still so afraid to buy anything and when I go to buy I just look and never buy. I wish someone would buy me something...lol

I hope your husband does get transferred. In my experience, bigger teaching hospitals are the place to be for more specialised treatments. I transferred DH when he was poorly because I wasn't happy with our local hospital and it was the best decision I have ever made. Glad your Mum is on hand too. Here's hoping you are back to normality soon. Take care of yourself :hugs:
