8 weeks?!!! You've got to be joking...il be luck if i get it when baby arrives!! If you phone them to see about the processing of your application is it the same place for the whole of the UK? Or does processing take place in scotland/england for example...?

 

[nervouspains]

Iv just checked- yep thats for everyone in the whole UK!
What a joke! They cant even tell me if they have receieved my form because of the back log- im going to send it again just incase xx

 

[3 girlies]

hope everythings ok bw

i still havent even been given my hip form, my midwives never seem to have any forms when i ask

i am cooking a nice roast beef, roast potatoes & veg for dinner, proper winter food mmmmmm

 

[randomxx]

afternoon ladies okay trying to remember everything

happy 29weeks callie and twigs

BW- i'd defo get it checked out if your worried

Aimee- congrats to your friend thats a lovely name aswell

oh i LOVE wrapping up presents

just thinking with the HIP grant its going to take even longer as they will be closed over xmas and new year wont they??? x

 

[mummysuzie22]

That's good Aimee everything went well and congrats on your friend having her baby..that's a gorgeous name!!

Np i'v washed the things that i had from Alex but still need to wash the new stuff i have. Gonna do that when i get into the new house as i've packed all the baby stuff already plus gives me something to do while i'm waiting lol

I have the consultant on Friday so hopefully gonna find out my date then.

Every night seems to be getting worse with my spd and now have sciatica down my left side. When i move side to side the bottom of my pelvis i can feel/hear my bones crunching together..gives me goose bumps when i hear it and it's bloody sore. Gonna plead and ask him to give me the earliest he can for my section xx

ms thats so exciting that you get to know the date he will be born so you can plan for it etc. The spd sounds horrible, i have had aches & pains when i walk & thats bad enough, i feel for you having to cope with spd everyday

 

[mummysuzie22]

Every ache and pain is worth it tho..i'd go through it again. Can't wait to find out the date but not telling anyone except you guys. Want it to be a surprise seeing as everyone knows it's a boy xx

 

[twiggy56]

omg MS thats so exciting you'l know the date kellan is going to be in your arms!! Wish i knew the day im going to hold my daughter for the first time... Im getting so impatient now and its another 11 weeks away!!

random- if the hip takes longer coz its xmas and new year i wont be happy!! Surely a couple days postal strike cant put them back 8 weeks?!! Somethings not right there!!!

 

[mummysuzie22]

I know can't wait..11 weeks will fly by tho..especially since we have Christmas and new years first..the 20's just seemed to drag by but i cuz we have more midwife appts the 30's should hopefully fly by xx

 

[nervouspains]

Ouch MS, sorry your in so much pain

Iv just bought a support belt from mothercare, my mw suggested it. Hopefully it will stop Max leaning on my pelvis as much xxx

i just wrapped the prezzies for the girls stockings in 20 mins, i thought it would take ages. Just the stuff in the loft left to do now, paul has warned me that theres quite alot up there so not looking forward to it one bit!!

anyone heard from bw since she wrote about falling over? hope her & Adam are ok

 

[AimeeM]

Callie- Don't send the other, it can mess up the one you sent and you may not even get it at all! I asked about sending another he said don't.
I rang today too and mine still isn't on the system and they told me 8 weeks now too so don't worry it is all of us!

Oh and he said that there is a massive back log cos there are so many at the mo but i do know tons of pregnant people so maybe it is just messed up a bit at the mo.

 

[nervouspains]

3girlies- I was thinking the same thing

Oh ok thanks Ams *takes it out of post bag* lol

I hope we at least get it before the new year! xxx

 

[nervouspains]

Im just writting my hospital bag list out, I just need to buy some things in the new year then I will start to pack!
Its so exciting now

And im trying to make a list of all the things we have got him so I know try and know what I have got.
Im only going to wash the 0-3 months stuff, and blankets etc.
No point me washing the 3-6 months bits until a bit later on lol xxx

 

[twiggy56]

There is a back log coz there are so many pregnant women?! Thats crazyness...surely there isnt just a sudden influx in pregnant women that sets them back 8 weeks worth lol...i bet they've just had a slightly higher volume than usual and because they are understaffed (as usual) and under organised for any amount more than the norm they cant cope! I bet i'l get my Surestart before i get the HIP....!! thanks for the info though aimee!

Well done MS with the present wrapping!! 20 mins?! Ur a machine! I actually like wrapping...bit sad, but i like doing all the bows and ribbons and stuff! Then it gets ripped off and ruined lol...

Still no word from Anne-Marie?! Hope shes alright...maybe she went to get checked?

 

[hayley x]

how is everyone? sorry I dont read back it would take me forever!!

Claire - not long till your big day now bet you cant wait

Callie - whens your 4d rescan I cant wait to see baby Max again

xxx

 

[AimeeM]

Laura yeah i think they are just slack! I also think they are using this postal strike as an excuse too!

Hi Hayley, hows you? xx

 

[hayley x]

I'm ok thanks. Saw midwife today and shes going to see me weekly from now on cause she feels I need more support, I'm so relieved now!

Baby has turned head down and is 4/5 relation to brim that means 1/5 of her head is getting there woop!

xxx

 

[AimeeM]

That is really good that they are going to see you weekly, it is nice to know that they actually care about you and are not just seeing you cos they have to if you get what i mean.

My next app is at 31 weeks on the 23rd of December, 2 days befor christmas ARGH i didn't realise it was so close...

 

[twiggy56]

:wave: hi Hayley hun...thats great ur getting seen weekly! My midwife hates even seeing me monthly lol.

Aimee i think its a ridiculous excuse! I sent mine at 27 weeks and now wished i had sent it at bang on 25!!
