i have 3 more weeks of work then i'm off for 2 weeks holiday, back for 4 weeks, another weeks holiday then i'm off on maternity leave. THATS scary O_____O!!


oooo - and just checked my bank and my HIP grant went into the bank today

 

[anna matronic]

Yay!! I am such an idiot!! I got my hip form last Tuesday, took it homw filled it out and put it in the envolope. then went to Macdonalds as fancied a mcChicken sandwich and left the form in my car. I havent been out since then (had a shitty cold) and my car is parked round the back as I am waiting for a residents permit. I could have had it by now, now will have to wait another week or so!!

I am going to order my pram on Saturday Icandy Cherry (as long as I still love it when I go to the shop) Going to order it in black, nice and boring, had he have been a girl I would have got Mulberry. Oh well!! Only getting the chassis, seat and carrycot as have a carseat, adaptors and a base. This costs £410 I think but the shop "did" give you a voucher for £45 when you bought the chassis and carrycot together, so I have £45 to spend. Think I will get a raincover for the carseat and maybe put the rest towards the footmuff, although he won't need the footmuff for at least 10 months. I dunno

Oooh, mine is in today as well, yay! (It's only going to pay back my NCT classes, but still, it's nice to pay things off).

How is everyone feeling today? I went to yoga yesterday (second session), it was LOVELY, so relaxing.

 

[loulabump]

everyones hip's seem to be going in so fast hope mine goes in quickly, could really do with the money right now!

 

[mommy2baby2]

So what are these Hips everyone keeps talking about?

So what are these Hips everyone keeps talking about?

£190 one-off grant from the UK government (Health in Pregnancy) for pregnant women. They are ending it next year so we are quite lucky to be one of the last lots to get it!

 

[you&me]

It is a 'Health In Pregnancy Grant'...all pregnant women can claim for the one off payment in the UK of £190 to put towards a healthy pregnancy or whatever you wish.

I don't get my hip form til 29 weeks when I see mw next. Also I'm going to classes at the hospital next month which I believe are free rather than nct, I assume they're the same?

Yeah, they'll be the same. NHS ones have been suspended in my area due to midwife shortage

Really?? I got an email yesterday stating I had been accepted on the course at the East Hastings Childrens Centre. Starts on September 9th for 4 weeks.. I filled out the form at the back of my pregnancy notes and sent it off last Friday.

Are you going to Aqua tomorrow, I want to go and am here and have something to wear

 

[Cocobelle]

My HIP is not yet in and I sent it off a little while ago now. I guess the different name thing is confusing them a little.

I think I may book for a course in pregnancy yoga, its a 6 week block. We did think about doing NCT classes but the only day they are held on, my H can't do and I don't fancy doing them alone so NHS ones it is!

Also thought about taking Hypnobirthing classes but they are so expensive. If we were to travel an hour to an hour and a half from our house in any direction, they are about £130 which is fine, but in our town its £275, so I have ordered the CD and book instead.

I have a midwife appointment after lunch.

Welcome to the new 3rd tri people!

I have my gestational diabetes test in an hour and a half. I should probably get up and get ready instead of lounging about reading forums.

 

[SilasLove]
