Crazy! Cant believe the year has passed so quickly, it's almost need a year since we started chatting hasn't it?

Ugh I'm having a stressful day with a job situation.

I am the top senior candidate qualified for a position at a school. It's an intense but high paying (full
time) job. It's rightfully mine but the principal is wing very intimidating and almost seems like trying to talk me out of accepting it. I think there's someone less senior than me that she wants in it the position, and she doesn't know me so doesn't know that i am a capable as I am. She has now asked me to come in and meet with her tomorrow morning to 'make sure I'm right for the position' which she actually has no right to do since I am qualified and they are filled based on seniority. I agreed to meet with her because she was SO forceful about it, but now im dreading it because she doesn't know I'm pregnant.

I would likely only last a few weeks in this position since it's so demanding, which means she will have to repost and find a replacement next month! She's NOT going to be happy about it but I would be crazy to turn this down...

This job would mean full time pay from Sept-Jan, I have no choice but to accept but I feel like I'm in such a crappy position.

Good investigations smawfl. Congratulations to our early decemberists! And all girls, interesting. Looks like we're due some boys next then!

It's very hard to tell what's movement and what's bh when she's doing her big movements. So I'm not sure. My bh tend to be more when I'm bending over or walking down/up hills.

I know, I think we initially started chatting in October. Have to say you girlies have been wonderful and very supportive, I feel lucky to have (virtually) met you all and shared this journey with you!

 

[HanyouMama]

Hey Ladies So much going on in here it seem! I can't believe most of you are so close to have the babies!

I just wanted to share a couple of pictures of some decorations we put up in the nursery the day before yesterday

There is also a picture of my yorkies in the crib as they were so curious as to what it was. I am going to wash the bedding as I was just making sure it fit in there lol

Arrrrhhhh... The ball is rolling!! Thanks for letting us know Smawfl - a massive congrats to those ladies and their little princesses!

AFM, 2 days left but it really doesn't feel like it. My uncle is at peace now, passed away on Wednesday so there's just no focus on symptom spotting, bump dropping or anything like that. 2 days until due date - can you believe that? I remember when it was 2 months - felt like just the other day!

Hope everyone is keeping well. UK ladies, have a lovely bank holiday

Sorry to hear about your uncle

Can't believe you only have two days to go until DD!! I keep looking at your top ticker and miss the second one!! Do you think you will go over?

 

[Pusscat]

FSB - sorry about your uncle, lots of Hope you're doing ok and the sadness at loosing him is being balanced by the anticipation of the new life you are so close to bringing into the world.

Han - lovely to see your nursery I like the colours and your dogs look very excited to be in their new bed My cat was just dying to get into my carrycot when I was washing the sheets from it. I put some plastic bags in it to try and stop her!

Gaia - how did the meeting go? Sounds like a really difficult position but hope you managed to fight your corner.

I'm getting seriously bored! I've got no more big things happening between now and baby. And I'm getting less comfortable with driving and going too far from home on my own. Plus walking for longer than about 10 mins makes my lower back hurt. Want to keep walking though so just going to have to go for very short walks.

Last night I had my first 'hmm, is this the start of something' thoughts. I couldn't get to sleep for what seemed like hours and then I started getting period pain type back cramps and then it felt a bit like they travelled round to my bump and it tightened slightly. Got up and went to loo and they all stopped. Managed to get some sleep. Got more cramps when I was in the shower this morning. Is it going to be like this for the next 2, possibly more, weeks?

At least I've got something to distract me today - my MP3 player arrived this morning so I'm loading lots of music on to it. I'm making 2 playlists - one for relaxing and one for when I need some energy and motivation!

 

[caz & bob]

hiya girls i am due 23rd x x

 

[gaiagirl]

FSB - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I hope the joy and excitement of the upcoming arrival can help you through the grief. The circle of life is certainly an amazing thing.

Pusscat - The unsure waiting sounds difficult! Almost like symptom spotting back when we were TTC, hahaha. Hope it's the real thing for you soon.

AFM - The meeting did not go well, the principal is basically going to try everything she can NOT to give me the position. Thank god I am in a union and actually have rights, but there still is a chance she can prove to HR that the other candidate she wants is more qualified. HR is especially motivated by not wanting to pay me top up while I'm on leave.

If I don't get the job, I will probably be filing a grievance though as I don't feel the other candidate is more qualified and they are really stretching to try and make that point...

Argh, not what i want to be focused on!

Morning ladies. Hope you're all having a good weekend and UK ladies are enjoying their bank holiday! My news today is that I'm either incontinent of my waters broke this morning. It's not clear which at the moment though. Woke up suddenly at 8 this morning with what I'm fairly sure was a gush of water. Not gallons but not a tiny patch. Had a sniff and it didn't smell of wee and it was clear. But I haven't had anything since then and no contractions. Had some slight period pain in my back but that seems to have stopped as well. I rang the hospital and they told me to put a pad on, empty my bladder and then lie down for an hour. If the pad was wet when I got up again then I could be sure it was my waters. The pad was dry though so I don't know what to think now . I got quite excited when I thought this was the start so I'm disappointed it might not be now. When the gush happened I was actually dreaming I was having a wee, so maybe my body was just following through But I'm pretty sure I would have smelt the wee?! And when I got up to go to the toilet just after it happened it didn't feel like i'd just been weeing.

I'm checking my pants every time I get up now

 

[minimoocow]

oh pusscat that sounds exciting . . . fingers crossed its the start of something - keep us posted!

 

[seaweed eater]

Hi ladies, I've been meaning to do a big catching up post for days...but for now, Pusscat, sounds exciting!! It could just be that your waters are leaking or that you ruptured higher up. If it was clear and odorless I bet it was something. Can't wait to hear more soon

 

[smawfl]

How exciting pusscat,keep us updated!

Sorry for brief reply,we've gone away for our wedding anniversary / baby moon. Not too far but enjoying the relaxation!

 

[smawfl]

Btw happy full term seaweed!!!

 

[Pusscat]

Nothing to report this evening. Not had any more leaks. Had a few more very slight back pains but doesn't feel like anything is happening I've tried to move around lots and went for a walk to try and encourage more waters out, but no such luck.

Smawfl- hope you're enjoying your babymoon.

Will update if anything else happens but not feeling it's going to at the moment

 

[smawfl]

How are you doing this morning Pusscat?

My itching is still bad,not sure if you guys saw my other thread. Went into hospital on Friday for bloods and monitoring. Baby is fine and wriggling lots.

Liver enzymes are slightly elevated though & waiting for bile acid results to come back.

Have to go in today for more monitoring.

Really hope its not cholastasis!

 

[Pusscat]

Hope it goes well smawfl, I didn't see your other thread. What sort of itching is it? It's good that they're keeping a close eye on you though. I wish I could have gone into hospital for them to check if it was my waters or not. Or maybe they can't really check that kind of thing? Seeing consultant at hospital and normal midwife on Wednesday so that's reassuring, at least they can check baby then. Just feeling normal today, no signs of anything.

 

[smawfl]

Pusscat, I've had some mega itching, and they decided to take more bloods and get me in for monitoring as they suspected Cholastasis. This was on Friday and on Saturday they said my liver enzymes were slightly elevated but were waiting on the bile liver results from the bloods.

Went in earlier for monitoring again, baby is fine. My bile results aren't back yet, hopefully get them tomorrow but they dont think it's cholastasis and likely it's just pregnancy itching/rash or PUPPP. I have to go in on Friday again for monitoring and more bloods to make sure liver enzymes and bile havent risen in the space of the week.

They dont seem worried which is good, and to be honest I dont think it is too, one of the major cholastasis symptoms is itchy palms and soles of feet which I havent got, also cholastasis is rashless but I'm covered almost top to toe in rash!

Baby seems content so that's good!
