[MissyMojo]

urgh to ears popping

glad ur feeling a bit brighter today x

 

[Vinushka]

Is crampy pain really that bad? I've been getting it for the past week but the midwife didn't notice anything weird. I figured it was just a growth spurt.

 

[MissyMojo]

it depends how intense it is, where it is and stuff, a lot of it is just stretching but if its more intense to point of taking ur breath away / doubleing over u might wanna speak with ur MW

 

[MadamRose]

yes thats why im being positive, i hate taking parocetomol while preg but the doc told me to to see if that helps, so ive done that. But tbh atm it feels like its getting worse Im curled up on the sofa with my legs near my bump as only thing that helps. In here day here the temp is fine but at night it gets stuffy thats when i use the fan.

I would have a bath but can't got no hot water and the boiler man is here sorting it out, im hoping its gonna be quick so i can have a nice bath.

How is you nugger doing?

Yes some cramping is normal as long as it isnt too inense, cetain craping is normal as your uterus strectches.

 

[MissyMojo]

hunni- hope it eases soon, ive had some belly pain myself with a bad belly n loose movements

nudger is doing ok- getting regular kicks all day everyday - and doesnt wake me at night thankfully,

im gutted i missed the F1 yesterday

 

[MadamRose]

Yes its not nice at all, its just its menna be the opposite when on iron tablets, which is what concerns me, then DH goes and tell me before you go into labour you often have a bout of it to clear your body out before you have the baby really reasuring not.

Yes glad baby is kicking away, im 31 weeks and Chloe's kicks still dont wake me at night even though they are really strong. i just toss and turn all night instead anyway.

Aww yes i watched most of the F1 missed the crash in the pits though

 

[MissyMojo]

what crash in the pits? when? i've mangaged to find a repeat on BFBS2 on lap 44/70

give it another few hours maybe and ring MW again ?

 

[TripleB]

Hey girls. Sorry you're feeling rough due - me too. Have completely lost my voice, nose streaming and have an icky tummy. I knew I would come down with something during my pregnancy but assumed I wouldn't get a cold in August! Might leave work early and take a leaf out of your book and curl up on the sofa. I have my 16 week antenatel appointment tomorrow - can't muster any excitement though!

I've been having lots of stretching pains this weekend and bump seems to be talking shape - time for another bump pic soon.

Hope everyone else is well. W2B - sending you lots of PMA for tomorrow

[MadamRose]

i think it happened quite early on missy as i watched it from 20/70 i beleive and it happened before i watched it, i cant remember who was involved ut there was a crash in the pits.

Yes it was actually my docs i rang not the MW as can only contact them between 9and10am everyday (very useful ) i will ring if it hasnt gone in 2 or 3 hours. and now chloe has desided to go to slepe when i want her to be active.

Thanks triple, no its not nice at all, def curl up on the sofa and look after yourself, i may have a hot choc to make me feel better why i cant have a bath. But scared to stand up incase pain gets worse like it seems to do when i move.
Great that DH 1st day back at work after the wedding had to be today when i feel like this. Paracetomal are helping a bit but not much. hope you feel better soon

 

[MissyMojo]

go for it triple - go home curl on the sofa and relax - your apt tomoro will be fab - theres a few of us with scans / apts tomoro aint there?

 

[MadamRose]

My 31 week MW appointment is wednesday, then it will be every 2 weeks.

Very pis*ed off, sorry but DH just rang me and said his work decided to tell him when he got in today that he was late for work (when he wasn't) well he shouldnt have been but they have changed his working hours while he has been away, and cut 6 hours off him how do they expect him to be able to support a baby if they cut his hours, especially without him being consulted

 

[MissyMojo]

thats discusting! he should at least have 24 hours notice to any shift change - get him to check his contract when he gets in,

my work used to have to give 7 days notice - it can vary - but i would expect it to be 24hrs minimum x

hun x

 

[MadamRose]

they are only leagaly allowed to drop his hours by 10% they have dropped them by more than this. The person he needs to speak to is refusing to speak to him until the end of his shift. We have a feeling if they wont give him the hours back we will lose working tax, ect. And his wages will only just pay our rent and leave us with only just over £100 what are we menna do with that especially when LO arrives. He was told on his last shift before leaving for time off for wedding his shifts were def not changing. I really dont need this stress atm

 

[Vinushka]

my husband got his hours cut down to 16 a week from almost 30, all on the bloody weekends because his boss had a problem with him (he's far more competant in the job and should have got the position really) just as we're looking for a bigger house. Feel like making a lil voodoo boss and burning him in the backyard

Or just talk to higher management quietly.

also the F1 was awesum, you can prolly get it on iPlayer if you missed the highlights.

 

[MadamRose]

yes he is gonna talk to her at the end of the shift, if she wont do anything he will have to look fr another job, but we will have to cope with not enough cash until he can get a new job which is nearly impossible atm
really dontt need this atm its just more stress to add to the rest

 

[MissyMojo]

darling -- if theyre not allowed to cut by more than 10% then u'd be able to dispute it / take legal action

being in cyprus i cant get Iplayer wish they'd open it up for forces personel overseas its not our choice to be out of the uk belive me.

 

[MadamRose]

Aww bless ya missy, my dad used to be in the forces and we used to get moved everywhere with him so i kinda know how you feel.
Yes he will def take legal action if they dont do it. I have told him just to ask for both his shifts that have been taken away to be given back, and then say he will keep the rest of the changed shifts just to make sure he has the right hours. They havent changed the other shifts by much, and hour ealier or later here or there. And just checked we wont get working tax if he doesnt get the hours back, we really are gonna be stuffed
All the stress has brought my belly ache back.

 

[MissyMojo]

babe - will u get child tax credit? maybe it's worth popping to jobcentre / CAB and havig a chat with someone there?

 

[MadamRose]

Yes me and him will prob go on his day off on wed. I know in our old situation we would have got child tax not sure about the new one. But i used the working tax calculator thing and we wont get that.
What a great time to have all this stress when early labours around 30-32 weeks run in my family.

I will look about the child tax thing now
