anyone think i could be having round ligament pains in my ribs already? i had it really bad on my left side with DS. but this time it's on both sides. and it hurts alll day idk if it's too soon or not since baby isnt even close to my ribs.

24/7 - sorry, dont' know what the laws are to help you, but you might have to give it a bit longer to give it a chance to work out... I know its always hard adjusting to a new place and learn new tasks. You should say something though about the hurtful gossip about how young you are.. thats not ok.

 

[24/7]

I'll see how this week goes, and hope I feel more settled by the end, think its extra hard as feel so yuck I just want to be with familiar people in a familiar place.
Sorry about the pain milo's mummy, I've had bad pains in my ribs today too. xx

24/7 I think you should give it the week and see how you feel, I've hated a job on the first day and loved it by the end of the second!

As for the gossip, I know it probably doesn't help but now they've got it out the system I'm sure they'll move on to something else. I'm sure they didn't mean it maliciously, but if it happens again you should confront them xx

24/7 Thats horrible that people are gossiping about you! Its none of their business and your settled Really hope you feel better soon hun.

Hopeful, I have a stomach bug a bit too, my gut hurts! Seem to catch one everytime I'm pregnant too Yay for seeing your hubby again

My youngest has a bug too, shes got a fever even with the tylenol and runny nose, croaky voice. So she was up all night as were we, poor baby though.

New, the doc finally rang back late friday saying there machine playing up, they would'nt let us move appointment to next week either so we got 2 seperate scans pretty much doing the same thing, they like buses Ooh and can you send some of your pie I really miss cheese and onion pastys, cant get em here and I cant seem to make them

 

[mummy3]

I believe the ribs actually move out as you get further along to make room for everything, this could be the cause of the discomfort

 

[hopefulmama]

this site is dead today

 

[MilosMommy7]

atleast i'm not the only one with the rib pain :/ i hope it doesnt get worse later on. it was bad with DS too. but i didnt start getting it until i was like 25w or so.

Hello ladies!

Good luck to everyone who is having a scan today! I can't wait to see all the lovely scan piccies.

I have my scan in 4 hours and am so nervous! I hope this time I can see more on the teeny screen next to the bed.

Me and OH were talking about boy names last night, we have rounded it down to a few that we like. We will probably be browsing some baby name websites over the next few days to help us decide.

Morning all!

May Blossoms have been a little quiet the past couple days, must be everyone out and about over the weekend. Me too. Busy decorating at my new house as I really need to move in (staying at my parents and on the 5th week now) really need my own bed back. Plus hubby and I are in separate beds HAHA. the bed is too small to share!

Good luck with your scan today Wiggler and all will be perfect!!!!

I had such awful sicky feeling last night. it always seems to hit me from about 6pm to midnight. Anyone else only get this at night. I feel fine all day!

[24/7]

I wish I was having my scan today. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Hiya ladies

Milos Ive had sore ribs for a couple of days, feels like they pushing right up into my boobs I thought it was a bit early for it to be all the pregnancy I thought maybe there was just more pressure on a previous rib fracture (after the car accident) making it seem worse, but maybe not... if its happening for a few of us maybe its just the body making room.

Good luck everyone with your scans today Cant wait to see all the scans

Mummy glad everything seems to be ok now Sorry your lil girl is poorly sick, hope she is on the mend soon You cant get cheese and onion pasties (or pies lol) here either hun, very much an England thing, and North England at that lol When I go to London they are sparse lol Cant get Hollands here either... and no meat potato at all... what is the world coming to huh!!! lolol I can make a great cheese and onion pie though... never tried to make a pasty lol

Im starting to struggle at night time. I cant get to sleep for some really vivid and horrible dreams, then on the rare occassion I drop off I wake up needing a pee!! Last night I saw 1am.. 2am.. 3am.. 4am.. 5am.. 6.30am.. 7am.. then got up at 8.30am so I may have napped inbetween the hours but I was awake to see the clock change It was quite similar the night before too!! Its not too bad when Im not working, but I go back tomorrow and Im not going to cope if I had no sleep either

24/7 sorry you're new work colleagues were rude! I dont know how long I will be allowed to do my job until Im moved into an office and Im dreading the transition too Im sure given a few days things will relax. Being the new girl is always hard, but sure they'll quickly take you under their wings.

 

[24/7]

Hold out to stay out of the office as long as possible, I'm so glad I made it to 12 weeks, and only have to stick it out until the end of March and I start my maternity leave, horray!! When does everyone plan to start their mat leave? xxx

 

[new_to_ttc]

I had intended on working until Easter, but learnt that Easter was late this year (about 20th April I think) so I will be finishing before Easter lol Its likely baby will be here by Easter lol Im really no sure when I'll work to, I guess it will all depend on what work Im able to do and my health (couldnt work late with Joshua due to the risks).

I do want to keep out of the office, but I have to put myself first and the service users. I work with disabled and elderly people in their homes, so I am very much a lone worker. If one of them were to fall or anything it could cause 2 problems. Plus on a realistic scale, I soon will be too big to do my job lol My boss is learning with me, apparently Im the first member of staff to have fallen pregnant in our office (we've only been running in our area for about 3ish years). They seem to be doing lots of risk assessments and monitoring my work load and changing my round to take off any high risk or manual handling calls so so far its working, but this wont last. I estimate I'll be in the office by Christmas and that will drive me stir crazy so will probably take Mat leave early! But I have plenty of Mat leave available to me, I have governement Mat leave and then I can have an additional 12 months of company Mat leave (not that I will be taking that long but its available). I hope to stay in work until March, but I couldnt hack 3 months in the office lol I guess it also depends if I get an induction date for the baby or not because that will change my due date by 2 or 3 weeks earlier!

 

[24/7]

Luckily my maternity package is 30 weeks full pay, then 9 weeks SMP with optional 17 weeks upaid, and whenever I leave I won't be going back until the second week of Jan 2012, so just need to work out how much unpaid we can afford then will go off ASAP. I hate my job, and due to my coeliac baby will likely be early, so want to have a chance to have a rest before hand and get ready, ideally I'd like to go at the end of Feb, then do the mat leave and SMP then a month of unpaid leave, followed by a month of annual leave which will take me to middle of Feb 2012, but we shall see how it pans out.

Hearing people talk of their maternity packages makes me so greatful for mine, and you for yours!! xxx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Yes, I really feel for ladies outside the UK they dont get very long at all My company assures me most of mine is full pay, but Im not convinced as Im only part time! With Joshua I didnt even qualify for SMP as I was part time and something to do with NI but I guess its something I best starting looking into properly lol I want to be back to work before Christmas 2011 though I was thinking nearer Sept/Oct because although I will get some level of basic income, with my work I get additional non taxable incomes and that really boosts my wage and taking long periods of leave without it really makes a hole in my pocket.
