I haven't had cramp since my mw prescribed me vitamin D and calcium tablets. Silver linings eh :haha:
 
Cute pic Mommy!

Angel, try Citizen's Advice, they should be able to help you work out your entitlements.

Miracles, they're too busy so I didn't really feel I could ask for more time but I'll find out soon enough :)

We aren't revealing our names either til baby is here. Our baby, our choice. & Hannah is a pretty name Starlight! I like Gabriel too, Pixie :)
 
So remember how my husband is so against middle names and would get mad when I brought them up? He also refused to talk first names until we knew boy or girl. Well since we found out yesterday we are having a girl not only did he immediately agree to my girl name (which I have mentioned to him a lot in the past) but I told him he could pick the middle name and he got all excited and researched names that would go well with the first name I picked... and now we have a name.

Nora Joy :)
 
Nora i really love its so so gorgeous!

I've been to my 20 week scan today, was a bit of a nightmare as i had to be sent out for a wee, some star jumps, repeat star jumps, and layed on each side and back. I was in there for about an hour, because my baby is a pain in the bum. But everything was fine! So happy and relieved.
Shes defo still all girl aswel, wasnt shy about showing her bits!

Second note I'm so glad you got the name you wanted and your dh came round to a middle name. How strange that he just went with it in the end!

Has SMP gone up quite a lot? I'm sure it used to be about £420 a month when I had Xander, and it looks like it's around £560 now? I hope so! My employer gives us 6 months at 100% pay so I was going to take 6 months off, but smp looks like it'll be similar to what I'll be earning when I go back to work after childcare is taken off so I'll take 9 months instead :dance:

Has anyone thought about when they'll go on mat leave yet? I've had a little look but nothing has been decided yet
 
Karli - I'm glad your scan went well.

Secondnote - I love the names you've chosen :)


Angel - I too would suggest CAB, they're quite helpful with these things, I think you can even get advice on the phone these days.
 
Secondnote sooooo glad he was OK on middle name!!!! So wonderful to hear!!!

Who else has a scan doesn't someone have one today to find out gender? Or did I get confused?

I do wish I was in your position... Looks like I can afford only 6 weeks off... Actually more like 4 weeks... But daycare only takes infants at 6 weeks of age. I am beyond upset and my SO doesn't seem to understand why i "just can't take more" apparently he doesn't understand bills vs income. :(
 
Whoever said about restless legs - I suffer soooo badly with these and what I've found helps is peppermint foot and leg gel from the body shop when rubbed in it really soothes them!
 
Nora is gorgeous! And Joy is my middle name :D

And how anyone can 'not like' Hannah is beyond me it's so pretty and classic!

We will say names on places like here etc but we won't say the name officially to people until birth x

My scan this morning went well, my little Squiggle is growing as (she) should - no I don't know the gender yet!- so am very relieved & now feeling confident enough to start a pregnancy journal! Next scan in 2 weeks then big scan the following week, yay :)

My husband told some of his family about what name we are thinking about for baby girl, and they apparently don't like it. I wasn't there, so I don't know their reaction, but I predicted it wasn't a good idea to tell them. Neither of us want to change the name because of them, but my husband definitely needs to grow some thicker skin as he was a bit upset.

They apparently were hoping we would do a family name, but my husband has already decided he doesn't want to go in that direction. I liked some of the names, but I think I like Hannah better.

I love the name Hannah, at the end of the day it is your choice

We have decided on a girls and boys name (since we are team yellow) and I have sworn SO to KEEP IT A secret. We had names we liked but family/friends made a stink and in turn made me rethink (in a people pleaser) :/ in good news... Ive been feeling some pretty consistent 'pokes' lately :)! in some rather not great news... Night times leg/foot cramps have started... Ugh! Congrats on all the recent scans! I have no idea when my 20 weeks scan is... It will be scheduled when I have the regular check up next week.

At about midnight i actually got a nudge :) and then i felt it move haha but the leg cramps have been starting for me too! Last night i felt like my legs and feet were on fire :(
 
Anyone else told baby measuring big? Thy told me he's 9oz and should be 6-7 tops. Was just shocked. As she was giving me an earful for him being too small before they started
 
Good psychology SecondNote ;) you've chosen such a pretty name :)

Glad all was good Karli!

Pixie, I haven't looked, but I was under the impression SMP was more than £650 a month! I hope it is, or I might have to take a month less :/ 6 months full pay is great! I get 4 months which is generally considered pretty good here.

I want to take as much time off afterwards as possible so I plan to start with 2 weeks annual leave & then ML 1 week before baby comes. So I'll probably go off around the start of May as I'm being induced early - less than 4 months to go!
 
Oh squig just saw your news about squiggle's scan, how wonderful. I'll be stalking your journal for sure!
 
Well I went for what I thought was my anomaly scan today only to realise it was a growth scan?? At the end of my 12 week scan the midwife said that my next scan would be between 18-20 weeks and to ask the receptionist to make the appointment, which I did. Thrums out they had booked just another growth scan???

Ah well, it was lovely to see baby again and now my anomaly scan is booked for DHs birthday in two weeks.
 
Thanks for the lovely comments about Hannah. I'm not going to let the in laws get me down. I earned my husband they may not like it because it's not a family name, but he told them we were leaning towards Hannah anyway.

Baby was 10oz last week; the doctor said that was on target, I was a bit over 19 weeks then.
