End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[charbaby]

Just had call off midwife downs screening results were 1-1900 so not as good as some of yours but still classed as low risk x

 

[pebbie1]

That's good! I don't even know what my result exactly was as I only got a letter saying it was low risk. But that'll do me. 1 week till I see my consultant. Can't wait to finally hear what's going to happen.

Char your little girl is so cute.

Baby face - you have to share your gender news with us!

I am feeling particularly shitty today. Got sent home from work. Cried like a baby and couldn't stand up due to wooziness. Felt like my head was doing an exorcist. I am going to take some days off to rest. My bp was slightly low on Tuesday so I am blaming that. Should I contact mw or GP? Or just rest and see how I feel? I don't want to make a fuss if this is a normal pregnancy thing.

Shouldn't we all be glowing by now? X

I couldn't feel LESS like I was 'glowing' if I tried

Hope you start to feel better soon x

 

[passion4shoes]

I bet your nose is glowing red from that hideous cold! My OH says I look like Rudolph when I get a cold. Have you tried hot lemon and honey?

 

[pebbie1]

Bleh, no glowing here either. I wish I could go on maternity leave ready and just stay at home

Passion, see how you feel. If you're still feeling like that after resting I'd just call the mw. I think they get calls regarding anything!
I need to work from 5-10 today. Booooooooooo

 

[Little Ducky]

You're right, I'm a real life Rudolph

Yep, I'm currently living off hot honey & lemon, and hot ribena... with paracetamol every 4 hours and copious amounts of tissues.
My head still feels like its going to explode though, and my nose is still refusing to function as it should do

However, at least one part of my anatomy is glowing

 

[passion4shoes]

I will do thanks x

5-10 tonight? That must be horrid. Do you mind me asking what you do? When do you start maternity leave and are you planning on going back?

 

[pebbie1]

Yep tonight I work as a waitress in a airport hotel. It's always crazy busy and am running around non stop and get sore already. Not sure how long I can cope. Having a meeting with my manager and hr Tuesday to look at my welfare. I hope they can change my job to something else till I go off. I think I'll stay till 7 months and then go on maternity leave, so end of March.

 

[passion4shoes]

Ducky- are you being rude? Lol!
You really do have a hideous cold! I hate not being able to breathe, especially at night.

Crikey pebbie that is an active job. I hope they find you something a bit more restful to do. Are they quite accommodating? My boss has been really good so far. Although I have brought home 120 exam papers to mark whilst I am 'resting'! He was going to do them for me but I felt too guilty.

I wasn't being rude, despite how that last comment sounded

Pebbie, your job does not sound fun
I work reasonably long hours as a full time accountant, but for the most part my job involves sitting at a desk on my bum all day. I'd hate to be on my feet all the time, so I really feel for you.
The problem with work I'm currently having, is that I can't seem to get my brain to function, ever! I'm also studying a full time degree with the Open University in my spare time, and I swear, some evenings I sit down to try and do some work and... nothing happens! Baby brain strikes again

 

[pebbie1]

My work is awful. I've been begging for a risk assesment for the last 9 weeks. Nothing. Then I told them I'm high risk due to pe with my daughter and they started laughing. I don't get any extra breaks and left an hour early on Tuesday as I was in tears. I couldn't even face going in yesterday so stayed off sick. My oh then wrote them an email saying they were against the law as how they are putting me and baby at risk as stress and active jobs can cause pe sooner, which doubles the risk for me. I got an email back and guess what??? I've got my risk assesment this Tuesday. Awful. I'm seeingy consultant for the first time Thursday so I'll tell her about work and see what she says.

 

[pebbie1]

Hello ladies! Sorry for the work rant yesterday Ill get over it.
Hope everyone is ok today ad enjoying the rain and the wind (if you're in the uk).... NOT!

[charbaby]

It's been raining here since last night and its supposed to stay all weekend!
Have so much to do this weekend not looking forward to it :/
Other than that feeling good

 

[passion4shoes]

Yep, pouring here too. Still sat in my dressing gown though so snuggled with the dog.

Well done to your other half pebbie. I would encourage you to rant and get angry over it. How dare they risk the health of your baby? I found it really hard to go home yesterday and it was only when another teacher told me about pushing herself too hard that I realised it isn't about me and that I need to think about the baby. Plus I don't want to push myself so hard that I end up with pre- eclampsia and full bed rest!!

Let us know how it goes. We can get indignant for you xxx

What are you up to this weekend char?

Baby brain. Eek. I bet that makes every job twice as difficult ducky!

Have just 2 more presents to get for the kids and then I need to go shopping for o/h so far only got him 4 little things lol!

 

[charbaby]

Oh and the mountain of wrapping that needs to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pebbie1]

I love gift wrapping! Am very precise with it though hahahaha. Think I have gift wrapping OCD!! They all need to be the same etc.
We're going for diner at friends tomorrow night and Sunday were going to my work where they've organised a gingerbread house decorating afternoon for kids. I'm sure my daughter will eat more decor than put on the house hahahaha

 

[passion4shoes]

I will be making cushions and bunting and chutney and fudge! Plus wrapping and moving the tree- it just isn't in the right place. My house just isn't Christmassy enough. Might go old school with retro tinsel everywhere!

My OH hates Christmas. He tells everyone what he has bought them and refuses to wrap anything. I keep trying to get him into it but he just thinks I am mental! He had quite a shit childhood and Christmas was more about getting drunk with your mates. I need a really inspirational present for him! Haven't got a clue so far.

 

[babyface15]

ohh pebbie that sounds awful xxx
I really hope your risk assessment goes well.

I still haven't bought any presents :'( With the move I haven't had the time and now that it's so late I'm dreading the stores! Also need to decorate and finish unpacking the weekend. I might ask my mom to come over to help me lol!

Passion sounds like a lovely weekend! I'm sorry your oh doesn't enjoy Christmas. May I ask will this be his first child?
