I can have a year but I wouldn't go back in October cos it's the middle of a term so I'd go back at the start of September or maybe just before the summer hols to get paid for that too.
It's frustrating as my head teacher will not allow anyone to go part time and I know I won't want to go back full time so I am not sure what I will do.

 

[PinkyEyes]

I know how you feel Amelia, I'm not teaching classes when I go back, just doing boosters with kids who really need extra help. I'm really pleased they offered me this but it feels odd too - I'm so used to teaching classes. I'm torn on what to do about going back, the hit I'd take on my tlr payment for going part time would be huge.
Thanks for the advice Betty, I'm really hoping bf will come naturally to me, but I'm fairly stubborn so hopefully I'll persevere if at first I don't succeed.
The new house sounds wicked hay, hope you get it!

Samie-I love nuts so was gutted about missing out.....and I could have had them anyway Pah! I wonder if she hadn't seen the new guidance? Thanks for that
Hay-that sounds good-fingers crossed yours sells quick. Well done for the standing up stage
Amelia....wow not long left.
Pinkyeyes-I bet it flies by to our maternity now he nights are getting darker.
I had my anomoly scan today-all looks good (have to o ack as they opulent get all the measurements as LO wouldn't move into he right position)....I havent been feeling much movement so it was nice I could see them wriggling round

 

[betty14]

hay that sounds amazing and how fab to have a place for guests to stay!!
yay for standing, is he still in the highest setting? i love having Daisy at the top of her cot

Amelia that sounds like you have it all sorta worked out!!will you just get smp or does your school give you more??

pinky your welcome, i am inexperienced compared to every one else on here but that was my experience so far, im sure i speak for us all when i say if ya got any questions fire away because its hard going to start with but does get soooo much easier!

dont worry if it doesnt come naturally to you because there is lots of support out there, the milk! groups are good!! being stubborn is a good personality trait to have and also the lansinoh cream is AMAZING i used it from 20 wks and i think it really helped!!!

mrsh glad you got to see baby wiggling around!! and you get to go again

[MrsHopeful]

Oh my friend also recommended osmosis cream for breast feeding I think my boobs might finally be starting to grow....it only took 20weeks hehe

 

[betty14]

It really us magic!! Just make sure you use breast pads as it stains like a mofo you can get tesco own pads I think 30 pairs for 1.60 they are rubbish for when your milk is in but are fine for protecting your bras from the lansinoh

awww look at Betty shes like an old hat at BF now I think theres certainly a lot of support out there and make use of it all. I still feel guilty at times about the BF thing but I know it was right for us. I recently found out some PCOS ladies do struggle to make a good supply so that makes me feel better, obviously wasnt the case for Betty

glad the scan went ok MrsH

Cant beleive Ollie is one its gone so fast.

Pinkeyes and Amelia I know how you feel about not wanting to go back FT. A long with my health the work/life balance was one of my biggest reasons for stopping teaching. The cut in pay takes a long time to get used to but you do in the end

Im keeping my fingers crossed for hay the house sounds great

Marcus weighed in at 12 lb 9 today-spot on for him. We took him to andrews parents friday night and i said how he doesnt smile that often-cheeky sod decided to smile at everyone every 2 seconds! He has been a bit grizzly the past few days and andrew has taken to picking him up and letting him drift off to sleep in a cuddle. it sounds terrible but i really try not to do that or it becomes a habit for him.

Lost another 3 lb this week got a few bad weeks coming up though with family visiting and Andrews birthday but hey thats life!

Hope everyones ok-finally got our jab date- 12th sep. he will be 9 +1 as there is a delay xxx

I'm worried because I've not had my period since stopping cerazette (mini pill) 7 weeks ago. Nothing... not even a withdrawal bleed.
I've had plenty of af pains but nothing happens

I think I just want some reassurance. How long did it take to get your period back?

Don't worry this happened to me, took about 3 months - I actually wondered if I could be pregnant!!! I mentioned it to a friend who told me she has 1 period a year on this mini pill. It's odd to begin with but I think it happens to a lot of people.

Hey fruitsalad! Gemie wrote this over 2 years ago, she's gone on to have a daughter since too!!

Betty I'm hoping to BF too but if it doesn't work then I'll not beat myself up over it, I have no problems with FF at all!
Work give me one month full pay, 3 months half pay and then SMP for the final 3 months, after that I get nothing and if I don't go back I have to pay the extra above SMP back to them :-/

 

[hay246]

At least u get half pay too. My friend got 1 year full pay sooo jealous! That would just be amazing!!
Thanks for all the hopes for the house for me.
Betty he has been on the middle for a whole now as he was always moving about. And tonight I put him down to thE bottom as if he had leant forward from standing up he would go over. So he hasn't had chance to try out the standing again yet as he has only been in it bedtime haha. He has been a bit o a nightmare at night lately. Cuz was letting him fall asleep on our bed and then in middle of night wen he woke in cot he would cry and be put in bed so it's going to stop!
Offer sent via post for house today so hopefully hear back soon. Reallllly want it!

[betty14]

Anna I am by no means an old hat only been bf 10 weeks but just wanted to share my 'newbie' advise as it's nice to hear the truth the textbooks lie about

That's a great weight for Marcus! Well done he is doing fab, that pic you put up was so cute!!

Fab weight loss for you too! I'm still not back on it, don't think I will properly all the time im ebf as I get sooooooo hungry

Amelia bf is amazing and I feel blessed everyday that I have achieved it, I am the same as you if it hadn't or doesn't work out I would have no issue ff!! Thats a little pants about your pay... Kinda holding you over a barrel huh!

Hay super exciting about the house.... How come it's a post offer? Hope little man is happy on the bottom... Must be so odd putting them down the levels!!

X x. X

 

[annanouska]

but in those 10 weeks betty look how much you know and how great your doing

we had baby sensory this morning-i have decided i dont like parents! Next week i may tell them Marcus weighs 30 lb and can walk and talk and is a wonderful cook. I best not forget to mention how he eats solids and is toilet trained and sleeps through the night! gosh they are all so competative there it is ridiculous-we just kept out of it and played!

If I dont go back to work i have to pay anything above SMP back too i really dont know what we will be doing yet. I will start thinking about it in january!

can i ask-what age did you start putting LOs to sleep at night? what i mean is atm he stays with us downstairs asleep in his rocker then we take him up to his crib when we go. he doesnt wake up or if he does he goes right back to sleep once he lays down but wasnt sure if really he should start going up at say 8 pm with his monitor? its hard as he feeds at random times he wont do the exact same time each day so you cant always pre plan when he will wake for it xxx

 

[Honeybear1976]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the welcome back, wish we were back on holiday
Brandon seems to really like the Comp, Im soo glad as I was really worried for him such an impressionable time and hes a lovely lad so dont want him turning into something else
Jack seems happy but as he is doing 4 mornings, 4 afternoons before his first full day next friday its too early to tell.
Sofia loves her new teacher :thumbup:
I had to see my consultant yesterday for a check up and he has had to stop my medication as my white cell count is through the floor If my bloods arent better when I have them redone tuesday he suggested Ill have to be admitted, he can sod off apart from the fact that I hate it in there, I dont have the time lol.
Hay how exciting, youre obviously going to invite us all for holidays then if you get the house I have everything crossed for you.
Pinky and Amelia maternity pay and time off has got better over the yrs I am fortunate that since I got ill and havnt been able to work I can be home for the children.
Mrs h glad anomoly scan went well
Betty and Samie, from pics on fb I can see Daisy and Sophia are well
Anna you will always get parents doing that wherever you go, its normal to compare milestones and ppl always think their kids are better than everyone elses!!! Marcus is looking gorgeous, putting on weight and obviously taken good care of thats all that matters.
Ooh Betty meant to say how come you were using rugby ball position? Ive never used it always led across my belly, led side by side in bed and now sometimes he will feed in a sat up on my lap position!
A pic from our 1yr bf

 

[betty14]

Thanks Anna I love bf and am just glad I've done ok!

Daisy gained another 10oz this week taking her up to 12.3!

Honey, when she was born they latched her across my tummy in delivery but for some reason I couldn't do it on my own so when inwas put on the ward and forgotten about it was sink or swim and rugby ball was the only position I could latch her on on my own so that's how we stayed even now when I lay her across my tummy it only works because she knows what she is doing! I have to hold my boob out the way tho because she just gets suffocated! Dunno if I'm doing something wrong or not

I have sone pics of daisy bf too I just love how she looks latched on

Glad your kids are all doing well and enjoying going back to school!!

Sorry to hear your tests were bad... Hope they are better on Tuesday and you don't have to be admitted!
X x x

 

[hay246]

That's good to hear honey glad they enjoying being back!
Hope you don't have to be admitted.

Yeah Anna everyone is competitive and comparing what their babies do compared to others I think it's just one of those things!

Betty its a post offer as the bank have it from reposession which is also a pain because if offer accepted they then advertise what they then get estate agent to advertise what they have accepted to see if anyone will offer more so still not safe once offered and would have to exchange in 28 days but either way we will still have a nice house as one we have now is lovely and sea view etc just compact but will be fine for a good few years

[MrsHopeful]

Lanosil no osmosis cream...Pah at predictive text.
Well done on the weight loss Annaouska. Competitive parents sound like a bore!
Honeybear....glad the kids are settling back ok. Hope your texts come back ok!
Hay-hope you get the house

 

[betty14]

Aww hay that all sounds very stressful but will payoff if it works in your favour!! I'll keep everything crosses for ya!!

Mrs h I knew what you meant predictive can get you into trouble sometimes if your not careful eh!!

X xx

 

[annanouska]

betty you posted at 5 am?!!!!

I have a tube of that Lanosil stuff its out of the box as i put it with all the baby toiletries but its never been used. if anyone can use it PM me or inbox on FB and I will post it out to you. I didnt want to throw it out so ive left it there incase i find anyone to use it LOL

I put Marcus to bed at 9 pm last night after his feed and bath. its daft i got all upset ! he normally sits down with us but I thought it would do him some good. Not heard the end of it form hubby though-apparently it was cruel and unfair and mean!!! we went to bed at 10.30 so he wasnt in there that long and he has his monitor!

xxx

 

[betty14]

Anna I posted at 4 the morning before... It's when I'm feeding Daisy haha!

That's kind of you but I have 2 tubes on the go so I don't need any... Maybe one of the pregnant ladies could make use?

It's not cruel to put him down it's good to get him used to it if that's what you will want to do in the future! I take it your hubby was not home when you did it lol!
