Awwww jaylene, we understand that youre busy at work. I dont seem to be able to get on here as much as I should.
Helen, you poor thing having to deal with so much crap. Maybe after the baby is born Craig will realize that youre needed more at home than out at work. Plus daycare is expensive. And I agree with you Helen, reading those posts really does the job on me too. It's very very upsetting.
Elm, I hope you get a good massage and feel better soon.
My bp is a bit better today. i had a check up with my family doctor and he says wee ben is growing as he should be and that everything seems fine. Will try to get back on here tomorrow gals. xxx

thanks girls you are my strentgh,
going to see my hr today ask for my matb1 back so i can a pply for maternity allowance i'll miss out on the 6 wks pay at 90% but worse things could happen so not going to stress, problem with craig is he says something before i've finshed and paints a black picture, is it pesamistic (can't spell lol) he realises after but i take things straight to heart, especially now i'm preg.
i got to sleep gone 2am crying cos of the baby that died i just can't bear to even think about not bringing baby george home and worrying i'm gonna have to put him into daycare too early, i bug myself with how sensitive i get lol i've been through worse when rosie was 6 weeks old and started with epilepsy and then all the worries that came after, but i suppose looking at your own life your so occupied and blanked from what could go wrong, if you know what i mean.
i got a terrible headache this morning from crying i feel like i'm being bullied from all angles, i'm sure i'm not its just how i feel though.

Oh sweeite, I'm so sorry you're feeling so crappy. Just think if worst comes to worst in just over 4 weeks time you can start your masternity leave! Try and wrap yourself up in nice daydreams about baby Geroge until then, that's what I do to help me get through the days. I'm also finding the nightimes hard, I lie awake for hours obsessing about how many weeks pregnant I am and what premature survival rates are at different stages and counting down the days until I'm 30 weeks etc etc. My work contract is up for renewal at the end of March and my boss can't guarantee we'll have enough money in the budget to renew it (I would have had 6 months 90% pay but might not get it now) and god knows how we'll find the spare money to pay our mortgage! Looking at the rest of the posts on here, I'm guessing we've all reached a kind of emotional, angsty, insomniac stage of our pregnancy :hissyfit:
I think we should all do something today to treat ourselves, it sounds like we're all in need of a little tlc

 

[Dragonfly]

I just been sick in the worst way possible! after eating and i near choked to death. I aint even exagerating i am all sore now and my ears are blocked. I didnt get much sleep but wasnt sick the last 2 days and thought i would get away with it. OH NO how wrong was i! feeling really down and crappy now. I hope baby is ok as that was by far the worst one ever

 

[LuluBee]

Oh Dragonfly, I'm sorry! I live in fear of seeing my breakfast reappear, I tend to still throw up every couple of days and it's so horrid isn't it? I think you must be having a boy, they seem to be giving people more morning sickness than little girlies.
I find I'm better if I eat really slowly in the morning or wait until about 10 o'clock before having any breakfast. I threw up all over myself yesterday morning while I was on the phone to my Mum, I seem to specialise in spontaneous, no warning whatsoever type of vomiting!
Hope you feel better soon get yourself some rest xx

 

[hypnorm]

sorry to hear that you girls are all having problems in one way or another.
I have been lucky and had no morning sickness with this pregnancy appart from when i have been cooking.

Just suffuring with my hips at the moment being quite painful.

 

[Dragonfly]

I think its a boy i have enough hair on my belly and other places appear to indicate that. I tried waiting and thought i got away with it and that i was just hungary, it tricked me again. I worry after that that i was sick and maybe baby was hurt from it, i know its stupid Its being quite this past few days but i dont think it has enogh room to move about like it did now. ANd i am massive!

 

[helen1234]

well just seen Hr and i'm out of the SMP by 2 days lol 2 bloody days, but i can get maternity allowance which is roughly the same amount, but i feel better now. the thing with my boss well... i just don't care anymore HR can do what they want with him, which will prob be a slap on the wrist... hey ho.
i think your right we are at emotional stage Lulu, we seem to all be having rough patches at the moment. i'm an emotional person anyway my friend sent me a you tube advert thing about the dog and cat fur trade in china and a peta video about killing animals for eating. omg i was traumatised for literally weeks, i'm practically veggie anyway i only eat meat sparingly but didnt eat meat for weeks.
anyway rambling.
i still throw up everymorning i'm surprised i've got any enamel left. i've got a really hairy belly lol too i'll post you a piccy later lol its like blonde downy hair lol bizarre never had it with rosie.
hypo norm i couldnt cook without gagging when preg with rosie maybe thats a girl thing too.

treating myself to cream apple turnover or eccles cake cheer me up, and my supervisor (although i'm more of a boss to him) has put the killers on his ipod deck so i got music to listen to today.

[Michelle100]

They say food is always a good source of cheer Helen! LOL I hope you have a good day at work. Sorry to hear that some of you are still feeling sick. I'm not feeling top notch today myself, my dear auntie is moving today. She was over for supper last night and we had a good bawl for ourselves although we were determined not to cry, doesnt always work that way. She'll be back in january though when Ben is born.

 

[helen1234]

hello girlies
thought i'd come on and let you know, i been sent home from work till monday. i had several interviews with HR yesterday for the greivance against my boss about him hovering outside the loo because i apparently was taking too long in there. the thing was my mum called to say happy birthday while i was i there, and she were saying dont strain you'll get piles and how whe she got piles she had to sit on a ring lol
anyway....well he denied giving me a verbal warning about apparently abusing my phone which was a down right lie. and that he didnt invade my privacy by being stood outside the loo for 15 mins. he was actually leaning on the door and it came out from witneses yesterday that he actually had his ear against it.

anyway HR were there again this morning luckily... as when i walked in my office my boss after i went home unscrewed the hinges of my door and took it clean off.
well i burst into floods of tears and couldnt stop it was just the icing on the cake a work colleague fetched HR out of the kitchen to sort it out, my boss hadnt arrived either.
i just fel sooo violated i mean why take my door off its dicrimination at its worse.
anyway HR said its out of order and i dont need to be mixed up in this in my condition...
i just hope they are taking this serious. and sort him out i want to take it to tribunal but i just don't want the hassle and pressure of it.

i just want to enjoy this pregnancy this little boy i'm carrying is a result of 2 yrs fertility treatment and will prob be the last baby i ever have.

sorry to rant. rosie has a inset day today so we're off to get a big fat burger at mcdonalds

 

[LuluBee]

Have just repied to your post in second tri honey, but want to send you lots of
Try and concentrate on enjoying your time off and relaxing with Rosie - you've made me hungry for a McDonalds now xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[helen1234]

i had cheeseburger happy meal lol not too keen on them usualy have aveggie deli ut hey ho. i bought the most gorgous slippers lol pink and fluffy ugg type ones they are like wearing clouds lol, rosie had a new pair of trainers from Bank and another new bag from jane norman she's got a wardrobe full of bags, i've never been a shoe or bag girl so don't know where she gets it from thats girls for you i was always a wellies girl coming from the countryside. spose it'll be footballs and computer games for this little man now.

not going to let this little man get to me, i've stated the truth to HR so just going to let them deal with it, i am proper shocked by all of it. but i've only got 9 weeks and i'll be on mat leave so like someone said on the post my lo is worth more than that.

[LuluBee]

Glad you've had a good afternoon honey

 

[Michelle100]

Good for you Helen, so glad that you enjoyed your time with Rosie. That arse of a boss has crossed the line and hopefully will be dealt with appropriately. Enjoy your time off and relax!

 

[elm]

Helen - just looked at the 2nd tri post (my computer then promptly went all funny when I tried to reply) - can't believe your boss!!!! He's got some serious problems. I'm glad you had a good day out Why would he do that? Maybe he was put in his place by HR yesterday and he didn't like it. Hope they sort him out for you - you can't be having that xxx

Congratulations on viability LuluBee are you finding things to entertain yourself while you're resting? x

I'm really busy working at the moment, not used to it!!!

Hope everyone else is well xxx

 

[Dragonfly]

So sick today throwing up. lost my breakfast and still feel sick. I will be sick to the end its not fair! think i will go back to bed. head spinning.

 

[LuluBee]

Oh poor sweetie, go back to bed and make sure you get looked after

 

[LuluBee]

Hope you're feeling a bit better today Helen?

 

[helen1234]

having a good day today thanks, been for coffee at my friends before she went off to toddler group, and i went to kfc lol (well i've not got a cooker in the kitchen yet not plubed i yet anyway, so no food either)
anyway i had this chocolate cookie chiller drink and as soon as i got out the car i projectile vomited so ran inside and threw up in the loo yuck yuck was gross 1st time i actually been sick food i'm sure its all the stress coming out, it made my forehead go pins and needles and everything lol. not nice at all i sympathise with dragonfly i don't mind bile well i do but rather that than my lunch.

my supervisor and work colleague called last nte to check i was ok and my supervisor called this morning too, apperently the gen manager tried to blackmail the workshop manager into lying to HR to state i been slacking in my job tut tut, the thing is i've made my workshop managers job 10 times easier since i started cos i'm on the ball and i really love my job, i may be a tad slower than earlier on in my pregnancy but not excessively. he told him that he was promoted and could be demoted the same way and that all staff should stick together to just swep this away so we can move on. whattttt. luckily he told him straight that he got promoted on merit not because he wanted him to be a back stabber. the boss who owns the company is going down toay to sort it, i just hope he does and i don't get more grief on monday.

so right now i'm lay on the bed with my lovely laptop, and am going to order a sky movie yay!!!

hope your not working to ard elm must be lovely on the water with this lovely sunshine.

how are you doing lulu when do you have your next check up?..

Hello Girlies!!

Sorry ihaven't been on in a few days, had a bit of a nightmare time. Ended up in hospital on Tuesday for monitoring as my blood pressure went sky high and i wasn't feeling baby move. Got the all clear after 2 hours or so. Stupid midwife on duty was so think, she kept picking up my heartbeat and not babies... that made me panick a little more than i needed to. Then to top it off i'm having work problems.... i'm all ready to fire off the rights of a pregnant woman one of these days... i dont think they understand anything.


Helen - I hope all of your work issues get sorted, its not nice having to work in a atmosphere. And good on your fellow workers for sticking up and putting there foot down.

Lulu - Congrats on viability, its such a good feeling isn't it Hope your resting still and doing well!!

Elm - Make sure your not working too hard!!

Dragonfly - I hope your feeling better now hun, i've been very lucky and not thrown up once.... thnk i've been blessed.

Michelle - I hope your well!!?

Where are biscuit and jaylene? Hope they are both ok

Hope anyone i haven't mentioned is fine too!!
