[lucy_smith]

Rsinbow, this sounds promising! When are u going to start testing? When is af due?

Jannah hope your interview went ok!keep us posted!

Lemely how are u getting on? Hope b&b is working again

Af hasn't arrived yet!! So I guess I'm still in the waiting game!

 

[RainbowBaby13]

Thanks girls!!! Ill be testing around the 25th if my period comes on the same day it did last cycle it should be here on the 28th

Jannah- aww yea I feel you! Ive been thinking about it too and definitely gonna cherish those moments as well. FX for your bfp this month!

Lucy- stay away af!!!

 

[lucy_smith]

Tmi! Just had the tiniest bit of blood when I wiped, praying af isn't about to start
But keeping on the positive, I had spotting when I fell pregnant with dd when my period was due so just hoping the same this time!
Testing in the morning if af doesn't appear! Fingers crossed!

Yay im back, was very weird that it wasnt working.

We now have 2 teeth and the angry baby is back to a little angel.

First day back at work tomorrow its going to be so weird being apart from him for 10 hours

I hope af stays away lucy

How did the interview go Jannah?

 

[Jannah K]

Lucy I hope af stay away!!
Rainbow counting down to 25th
lemely good luck...who will look after your baby?
I have had 4 interviews this week with 4 diff organizations....2 of them offered me during pregnancy which declined back than...
I don't know how I will leave ds at daycare...2hrs away from him yday was chaotic...but if anything, it will be healthy for both of us as we don't see anyone all week..it could be his playtime and me working will be brain stimulating..I have to convince oh still...
I m hoping bfp this month though...let's see!

 

[lemely]

Hope you get somewhere Janmah,

My OH is self employed so he can work his business around us which is handy so he will have him. Im only goiing back 1 day every 2 weeks until Eli is 8 months then will be 2 days a week. Tbh only going back to the company because uf I do fall pregnant again want to be entitled to maternity pay but will change companies after the second baby. I am under paid for my qualifications and I am specialised in aircraft related tax so theres work out there for me. We said we will give it another few months then if we are still stuggling to fall might put it on hold whilst I start a new job amd we relocate to Wales.

 

[lucy_smith]

How does maternity pay work in the uk? If I am on maternity leave now and I got got pregnant, would I still be entitled to it for the 2nd baby?

Feeling like af is just round the corner, bloating up like a balloon here! goin to go to bed and I can test in the morning

Been very emotional today...... Duno if that's a good sign or not!

So..... Just wondering what you guys all do in your spare time? Thought it would be nice to know a bit more about each other!

 

[Jannah K]

Good luck lemely. .that's great!
Good luck lucy...fingers cronssed!!
My oh has strict schedule..I m a scientist..doing part time doctorate...would love to work part time to get tuition. Assistance....most Sr jobs and management jobs are full time and requiring ln site...if I continue having gap on my CV than I lose last several yrs of my hard work...
My spare time...I take classes for my doctorate. ..take ds to playgroups...workout. ...clean....would like to pick up a baking hobby or something but don't have such time with clingy ds....now a days I m also learning arabic and some programming ...I couldn't do much during pregnancy due to foggy mind...
What about u ladies? Oh really dunt want me to put ds at daycare or work...he is like we r trying fir baby 2 but tbh I stopped living life trying for no 1...I dunt want to make same mistake again...
Let's see how this month unfoldz...
I miss canada. ..they have 1yr maternity leave...my family is there...states get like 3weeks and unpaid...plus in laws here 10min away but hardly visit so can't ask them to help....

 

[lemely]

Oooh let us know lucy,

In the UK you can even start maternity for the second baby before returning for the 1st one and you are entitled to your usual 39weeks stat maternity. Thats why its not worth me changing becuase if I do you have to be with a new company 20 weeks before you fall pregnant to be entitled to maternity.

My passion in life is cars and motorbikes. I spend most my free time wither fixing cars, buying cars or driving lol. The motorbikes have gone on hold whilst LO is small but even the other day I could hear my bike calling from the garage I do a lot of offroading too and next month were going to wales for LOs first offroading holiday. (Unless I fall pregnant this month then it will be a reading holiday for me )
What do you do Lucy and whereabouts in the UK u from? Im in essex x

 

[lucy_smith]

Well ..... Af turned up last night!
Totally gutted .....
But on to the next cycle I guess!
Cd1 here we go again!

 

[lemely]

Ah sorry lucy,

Told my OH i want to stop trying after next 2 cycles cos ai want to concentrate on buying a house and relocating instead but he said he wants to give it another 4 i thought he wasnt that bothered but obviously is.
