heaveneats you need 600 hours to qualify for mat leave, I'm in Canada to Give FOB the benefit of the doubt he may just surprise you

great that means i probably wont qualify

If you work 40 hours a week for 4 month you qualify

Ourfate - I can't believe she said that! Talk about raining on your parade! She had no reason to say that to you, don't let her get you down.

SLCMommy - I'm sure the time will fly by, we'll have plenty too keep us distracted I heard of people getting scans at 6-8 weeks. I thought it was the norm.

I'm pretty crampy too, it's a little unsettling but I keep reading that it's normal. Sometimes I still check for AF because it's so similar

 

[Kelly9]

heaveneats how much do you work? YOu should qualify unless its limited hours, I'm casual and I should just barely qualify if we don't move to soon so surely you would?

I get a dating scan, my family doc knows what we've been through with the fertility stuff so she always gives me one but my fertility clinic does one to look for HB anyway around 7 weeks. I will likely have more then normal cause Im high risk from the get go, have a fistula in my uterus that they'll want to monitor. Fine by me. I also have a doppler, best purchase ever accept I have to hide it cause my son ALWAYS wants to play with it

i worked 20 hours per week from jan 19- until april 20 that equals about 280 hours, plus i've worked from april 20- until now 40 hours per week that adds to be just over 600 so about 675

My birthday is March 20! I always thought that it was the cutest day to have a baby because it is also the first day of spring!! KINOLY... I know it stinks, a lot if docs are now pressing first prenatal visits to be from eight to twelve weeks. For some it has to do with insurance and for other docs its to elimate patients who have natural, early miscarriages. Our pregnancy tests are so sensitive now were finding out we are pregnant before even what women did even a decade ago. For those early losses women would assume their period was just late. I know around where I live the early dating scans are also not given based on the preference if the medical provider. From my own experiance around where I live, its usually the midwives who don't do the early dating scans unless there's a real reason for it (patient has irregular periods, etc)

I did read that somewhere, let's hope it doesn't happen though! Lol

Yeah I'm trying not to let it get to me too much! And yea my cramping last 10 secs and then is gone. I read it's normal too as long and so bleeding

 

[Kinoley]

I feel like the cramping is easing now. Last week it was everyday for 5 mins. Now it's occasionally for a matter of seconds. I'm feeling good otherwise, really excited. I don't know how I'm not gonna just blab the news

 

[ourfate]

Same here! I want to tell everyone! I
Will Just tell family and close friends and girls I work with, that's even too much I think, but I can't hold It in!

rainbows

 

[Kelly9]

heaveneats then you're fine! You've already got the hours you need though they count the 600 from the last 52 weeks so they would start adding up from april ish. But if you keep working there is no way you won't be covered.

Rainbow so sorry to hear

 

[angela2011]

[VSubasic]
