WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

These babies are growing so fast. Amazing.

I didn't mind working until 39 weeks. I really like my colleagues and mostly enjoy the actual job. Last time I went off at 37 weeks and I was bored senseless. And then Kai was nearly a week late too!

Jem, I was never offered the flu jab but wouldnt have had it anyway. Mention it to your midwife at your next appt to make sure you don't get missed out.

Jem - no nothing! 90% 6 weeks and then £134 a week

 

[Jembug]

Wow it's gone up a whole £10 since my last baby!

I decided not to have last time and caught that flu. I hate taking tablets even if I need too, let alone having a jab that my baby has to have too! I'm just pure terrified of bei g that I poorly again, I remember actually wishing I'd die coz I felt like I was- sounds silly now, ha ha
I'm off to bed now.. One mor night to go.

Enjoy the sunshine, if you get chance. Emz remember keep us posted on here if things happen xx

I was planning on working until 38 weeks too. I would have worked until 40 weeks but the company closes for a week at 38 weeks so it wouldn´t have made much sense going back for just one more week. TBH I end up doing far more work at home and get much more tired than if I was sat at my desk at work. I feel really guilty if I just sit around all day so end up cleaning rooms that probably don´t even need it!

I know I should be grateful that my MIL is so excited and is willing to help and I am, it´s just a little bit worrying how she is convinced that she will be looking after Emma everyday and keeps on telling me all the things she´s going to do with her, where she´s going to take her, etc. The way she talks, it sounds as though she is going to be her mum and not me! It is nice that she is so happy about becoming a grandma though.

Almost, thats brilliant news about your IVF costs being more or less covered. If I was in your shoes, I would probably have to wait a while in order to save up and because of the dreaded waiting lists. Here people have to wait ages to begin IVF.

Sonia - they could well be flutters. I noticed my first ones between weeks 16 and 17 and they became noticable kicks (although really small ones) within about a week!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I hope they are flutters!

 

[mazndave]

I hope they are flutters!

They will be! I first had them around that time too, mine were more like little pops rather than fluttering though. It won't be long until you're getting the full on kicks and wriggles, and it's just the most amazing feeling ever!!I keep trying to film him making my belly move, but think the little bugger knows what I'm doing and stops as soon as I press record!

Just looked into the maternity package and I don't think I'm eligible to the enhanced NHS package... Think I've missed out by six measly weeks

Sonia you can to keeping in touch days, 10 of them to boost your satutory maternity pay!! That's what I'm hoping to do! If I did two or three nights a month it will really boost up my statutory mat pay! X

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

I think something could be happening! I'm not sure LOL

I can't remember how it felt with my first at the start. Hmmmmmmm

 

[Jembug]

Oooooh what's you symptoms? X I'm excited and on a night shift... Lol x

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Ha ha Jem. Pretty much Braxton hicks but this time with very MILD period type cramps low down. If it is something it's very early stages mind. Just have to wait it out I guess. So annoying not knowing when it's going to happen lol

 

[Jembug]

Ooh I remember wandering... I had a tummy ache that evening but just thought I needed a pooh and because I was at a friends having dinner I didn't want to use her toilet.
I was driving my friend home when I had what I thought was a contraction, I got in and told Shaun what I thought was going on? We both laughed because it was now midnight and my due date! So I chilled in the bath and I knew it was early labour! Period pains with 7-10 mins apart.
The minx kept me on pain until 11am! But I just couldn't believe it was my due date

You need to get some sleep in, just incase! Bet then your probably sitting there analysing every twinge, lol. I know I would be.

Where are you having your baby? Bedford? I had mine in Lister
Goodluck it it happens and update on here, I'm bored and need some excitement xx

 

[almosthere]

eeee gl emz!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Gl Emz x

 

[mazndave]

Oooh, looks like we might be getting our second baby!! Good luck Emz xx

 

[Elz]

Aaaaah exciting! Good luck Emz!! xx

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

Lol well whatever it was stopped and I had the most amazing sleep til
9am But thanks ladies. Will definitely keep you posted.

Jem - I'm having a homebirth unless there are reasons I can't. If I go to hospital it will be the L&D x

 

[miss malteser]

I´m sure it won´t be long Emz. How exciting!

I had my breast ultrasound this morning and straight away the doc said it looked benign and just looked like a nodule but wanted to do a biopsy anyway. It was very painful and she didn´t manage to extract any cells and ended up giving up saying the lump didn´t look worrying so it didn´t make sense to continue making me suffer. I feel better that she obviously wasn´t worried but I still feel as though I don´t really have any definite answers about what it is. I have to go back once I´ve stopped breastfeeding.

 

[mazndave]

Ah never, was getting all excited there!! Hopefully it's a sign that things are going to be moving soon though!

xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Miss M - that is reassuring but would have been nice to have known either way. How long are you planning to breast feed for? Maybe just keep an eye on it in the mean time and go back to your GP if anything changes x

 

[mazndave]

How frustrating Miss M! It's very reassuring that she thought there was nothing to worry about and is obviously confident enough with that to say that further tests can wait, but I can understand how you'd just want to know for certain. I had a large mole removed that had gone horrible a few years ago, and even though they said it looked fine when they did the removal, it would've killed me if I'd had to wait weeks and weeks for a definitive result!

It'll all be absolutely fine though, and at least you'll have Emma to take your mind off it until you can get back for a proper look.
