Mork - Good luck with the booking in!
As far as i know i can take the SMP and then make the decision not to return to work at the end. I have a few things to check up on regarding rights and maternity. Had a meeting today when they finally did my risk assessment, and then told me that they don't have to make any provisions at all or do a risk assessment until they receive a MATB1 form, which doesn't sound right to me at all? Its all such a shame, as last time they treated me so well during the pregnancy, i'm quite dissappointed in them.
I also talked to my boss about being unhappy in the job, and he got quite defensive and a bit aggressive about it
He basically dismissed what i was saying and treated me a bit like i was crazy. I'm not too sure where to take it from here, i'm a bit confused by his reaction. When i said i planned to take Mat leave asap and gave him my letter he was like "your going to claim smp from the company even though your not happy?!" I was like 
?!?! I'm telling you i'm not happy, and planning my mat leave, i'm not resigning, i was hoping the issues could be resolved?!?! 
Really odd... Anyway i think for my stress levels and general health i'll be better off on leave

your work sounds diabolical! as sarah said they so dont deserve you! take it easy and roll on 21st dec!
dan has painted the living room. i need to clean the windows and put up curtains and then i'm going to put up the christmas tree on saturday night 
and to top it off your work are being awful! Thes best off I've ever been was when K and I split and I worked full time, the tax credit system is all wrong. And your work is terrible, screw them, put you and bubs first lovely xxxx
He was all tired and just cried and cried and cried for like an hour! It wasn't like he was on his own i was right there. I kept trying to cuddle him, but he would just wriggle out of my arms and lie face down on the floor, horrible! 
) so had them listen to Roh's chest again. He has this persistant wheeze, often sounds like he has stuff on his chest, coughs at night quite often, and is getting really breathless after rough play and running about. I've been becoming more and more convinced he has asthma ( i have it, OH had it in childhood) as its all the things i had when i was little, except i had big attacks too. I ask the doctors about it every time i go, and they always treat me like i'm a crazy paranoid mother 
Anyway, finally this time he was all breathless when we got in as he'd been running round like a maniac in the waiting room (not embarrassing at all! 
) and the doctor noticed it right away. She listened to his chest and said she could hear the wheeze and checked on his file and saw i'd asked about it for almost a year on and off. She's decided its likely not a virus or infection, probably asthma, but definately something! I'm not mad! 
Whilst i'm happy i'm not mad, i'm not that thrilled for Roh because having asthma sucks. At least he has an inhaler now i can give him if he gets out of breath when he's having fun, so thats good 
well, 2 actually! 
congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats a BFP for sure! 
I had no idea, we weren't TTC just yet and I have had quite a bit to drink over the last few weeks so hopefully everything will be ok. Thankfully when I was bf I was taking a multivitamin for new mums then when I stopped bf just started taking the ttc multivitamins with folic acid so that when we did want to ttc I had already been taking it for at least 3 months. For those who have me on FB please don't say anything we are going to not tell for as long as possible, as news of my pg got out way too early with Oliver.
