Mother of all conception months Graduates

Gilz I take your crying in the supermarket and raise you with crying over an egg sandwich inedible because the fresh bread is too soft. Migraine's naturally 100 times worse for crying. Why does being pregnant have to be so unbearably awful?

 

[gilz82]

Oh Peanut hon I'm sorry you are having a rubbish day Just try to think of how worth it all the sickness and headaches/migraine will be when you have your baby in 6 months.

 

[Bids]

well i feel crap today same as you lot really...

DH just came back from going to pick something up from his mum & dads only to get rammed in the passenger side on a roundabout by a 4x4 mercedes glad i wasnt in the car obviously as i could have been seriously injured nevermind the baby

The cars a write off but worse thing is cars arent just cars to us, were massive car enthusiasts it was a escort rs turbo 1989 so totally devastated and had to just except a £1000 cash off the bloke and not go through the insurance!!! Argh we could really do without this at the moment!!!

oh i didnt know you'd had an early scan molly so hopefully you'll get put forward again then fingers crossed!!!

well once i get this week out the way i'll be seeing the mw yay.... bless ya gilz for crying in the supermarket, i have that problem too of not knowing what i want so i buy more stuff than i need or should lol

really dont want to go to work tomorrow though!!!!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Bids why didn't you go through insurance? I don't understand. Sorry you're feeling crap too but glad you weren't in the car!
My migraine is finally beginning to lift. Just in time fir a hard week at work. The whole weekend has been awful from start to finish. DH and I only get every other weekend together as it is which makes me extra bitter but then every one has been awful for ages now so it makes no difference. They went for a lovely walk with the dog in the sun. I stayed in bed and failed to sleep because Byron stole my sleepy time screaming in my face while DH bathed the dog. Need to take me some holiday!

 

[gilz82]

Oh Bids honey I feel your pain we're car nuts too. I just told my OH and he asked if your DH cried, mine really would have stood in the roundabout and cried.

 

[Bids]

Peanut the car would have been written off which means they'd take the car and then we'd have to buy it back, we didnt want to part with the car plus we would have only got about £750 through the insurance this way we can rebuild the car and have a good amount to put towards doing this (DH does car repair for a living) just a shame cos it was all original

Gilz he sat in the car and just shook his head at the bloke - he guy was doing about 30mph towards the roundabout/when he hit him so think he was in shock too, we both cried when he got back and showed me - totally gutted least DH is ok and i wasnt there thats the main thing

Looks worse in real life - it actually blew all the windows out luckily DH isnt cut to bits and on a plus side it wasnt his proper baby as he has a black one too lol

hope you feel better peanut i hate migraines

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh I see. My last car looked similar courtesy of a pickup truck but I was glad to be rid of it.

 

[molly85]

just had curry that will be my last decent meal for a week taste buds are going with cold and got that watery taste in my thought.

Morning girls

Why do midwifes have to be so frustrating?? When i had my booking app last week the MW said if you don't get an appointment for your 12 week scan when you are back at the EPAU just call us and we'll get it done and posted out to you.

So at EPAU they said oh we'll leave the scan appointment to your MW to sort. Phoned the midwife office and got a different mw, she told me i know have to make another appointment to actually see the mw so that she can refer me for the scan.

That means i'm going to miss almost another full day of work as i stay 35 miles away from work and they only do mw appointments between 11am and 1pm.

All of this is before i've even started having hospital appointments with the consultant. My work are going to hate me

 

[PeanutBean]

But you are getting the time off for appointments paid right?

 

[gilz82]

Yeah i will be Peanut but it is putting added strain onto me and my job.

We've just had a huge departmental reshuffle and the new head of fundraising is a i'm already getting grief about making sure i make up the time that i'm off.

I don't have a problem with that, but don't know at what point i'm supposed to find the time to do that.

 

[PeanutBean]

You don't have to make up any of the time for antenatal care! That's totally illegal! As long as they are aware of the appointments you are entitled to take the time out of work including traveling. Better direct her to direct.gov.

 

[gilz82]

Really i don't have to make the time up? I totally didn't know that

Think i maybe should have a look at the direct gov website too

Thanks Peanut

 

[PeanutBean]

You really don't, not for any antenatal care, even swimming or yoga classes or whatever though your boss might want proof that's it recommended from your MW as they are already being a bit arsey! Grr, these employers make me so cross. It's your basic statutory rights.

 

[molly85]

here here i love my job as its care based ill ask to switch shifts but they will give me the time no probs.
my great aunt broke her hip last night and my good neighbours dog was run over this am and is seriously ill so we now have her other giant spaniel in our tiny house with mols

 

[loopylollipop]

Afternoon ladies,

home for lunch what a novelty...

Gilz you are entitled to time off for antenatal care by law - your boss should know this. Some just take to p*%$ and hope by bullying they get away with it.

The week of the scan has dawned ....arghhhh...feeling ok about it today. Dont know how I will be on Wednesday night. No more spotting thankfully.

Had lovely left over beef casserole for lunch today. Didnt realise I was such a good cook ..ahhh the joys wacko of no ms...

 

[molly85]

[loopylollipop]

[PeanutBean]

I'm almost in Liverpool. Sciatica giving me real hell plus nausea, need lunch! Also got some aches which I hope if just from the exertion of hurrying for the train. Got lads more walking yet too. Boo.

 

[molly85]
