Embo I hope you got some where today but you could try some extra vitamin D and some Iron to help well I hope that would help

 

[girlinyork]

I've got loads to catch up on. I've been MIA thanks to a horrid cold and my niece born premature but well. Had a scan today and we're also team blue! Looks like this is a very boy dominated group

 

[CelticNiamh]

girlinyork congrats on team blue and being an auntie hope your little niece does well

wow how many boys is that now!

 

[klsltsp]

wow girlinyork hope that you're feeling better.. congrats on team blue!!

sure are lots of boys.. don't think we've got a girl yet do we?

Embo hope you got into your doc.

 

[Embo78]

Thanks girls. I didn't get to the docs cos I'm not deemed an emergency so I have to wait a week just for the appointment then I'll have to wait for an appointment for the treatment centre to actually have my bloods taken! Nice to feel cared for!

I've been sleeping much better and max has been enjoying lovely lie ins for the last few days so I've been sleeping 9-10 hours per night. I'm still absolutely exhausted by 4pm though
My spd has made its appearance. Fortunately my midwife has referred me for early physio so I'm hoping I can ease the symptoms nice and early. I've also been feeling really really down for the past week.

I'm such a negative ninny!! Sorry for whinging guys

 

[SweetV]

Em - that sucks that you have to wait so long but it's great that Max is letting you sleep. Don't worry about whining. It goes hand in hand with being pregnant

 

[kwynia]

Sorry you aren't getting cared for right away, and complain all you want. We don't require everyone to be sunshine and roses all the time

 

[3chords]

SweetV and girlinyork - congrats on being Team Blue. Wow a lot of little men on this thread.

My mat leave seems forever away. I am really hoping to go to 36 weeks, mostly because I have a high salary and the 55% under Ontario EI is really only 55% of a maximum, but for me it will end up being like 20% of what I make. So for financial reasons I'd like to push as long as possible. And I sit most of the day so hoping I can do it...

 

[Ladybirdgb]

Sweet Hun that's fantastic news about the baby and re the understanding doc

Em hope you get into the docs and see if they can help boost your energy levels

I have not been around so much because my work is soooooo busy luckily it's desk based but mentally taxing. Was not helped today by hubby leaving to fly to Spain at 4.30 am, this and letting our playful French bulldog upstairs Kent I did not go back to sleep

Roll on next Thursday its hard to believe this time next week I should know what I'm having

 

[SweetV]

I was really hoping especially for financial reasons that I would be able to work at least a few more weeks. I also receive the maximum of the EI benefit so it is not quite 55% for me. My short term disability is a bit better but we rely heavily on my salary to get by. They said if I sat for the majority of my day it would be different but my job is physically and mentally demanding.
I have a bit saved up but my poor kitty was attacked last night by something and it was over $600 at the vet this afternoon. He is home now and healing but as I am not working and unsure when my next pay will come in it hurt in more ways than one.

3chords - I hope the time passes quickly for you until you are off!

Lady - I hope you get some sleep tonight!

 

[Ladybirdgb]

I did sweet thanks looking forward to the weekend and he rest I will be cleaning but taking my time over doing it.

Em that's a really long time to wait for an appointment our docs do phone consultations then will see you the same day. I feel really sorry for you Hun rest as much as you can xxxxxxxxxx

 

[klsltsp]

hey ladies.

Sweet V so sorry about your cat! I understand the financial concerns, hopefully you can get through the next little while. How long will you have to wait for your insurance to kick in?

3chords, I am with you on EI.. I'm lucky since I'm federal gov't so I'm topped up to 93% of my salary... which is key for us!

lady hope that you get some rest... less than a week now!!

AFM feeling well.. although spent the morning at the hospital with my 8 yr old DS.. he was playing hockey and fell awkwardly into the boards.. they were afraid that he had fractured his neck... very scary...thank goodness it's not and he's just got a sore neck .. they said that he should be back to his normal self in the next week..

 

[SweetV]

I have to wait 48 hours after the doctors fill out the forms but my next appt isn't until July. I faxed them over and now it's just a waiting game.
I hope your DS feels better soon. A fractured neck sounds scary, I'm glad it's not as bad as they first thought.

 

[Ladybirdgb]

Sorry ladies but I am leaving I had a bleed this morning and had to go to labour ward. The nurses where great they could not find baby's heartbeat so it looks like baby has passed away.

I have to go back in tomorrow to be induced can't believe this is happening

Wishing you all wonderful pregnancies xxxxxxxx

 

[girlinyork]

Oh Ladybird, that's horrid. I'm so so sorry for your loss
