I really want a girl, but of course will be happy with a boy. No good reason, other than older brothers are horrible! lol...

OH and I have agreed that we don't need to ever discuss what he may or may not have seen/see down there during my birth/s

I try not to think of the fact my sister has seen all I have to offer... It's easier that way...

Sorry if I've missed anything, I haven't had time to read back yet. I'm in a quandary about when to tell my team I'm pregnant but I guess what is really bothering me is who will take over my job when I leave and if they will be better than me!

We constantly have people ringing up asking for jobs or to shadow us. I was planning on telling the team at our team meeting on Thursday however I've just found out that that day we are going to have the son of one of our most talented researchers shadow us as he wants to work with our team. Now I don't want to tell them on that day as he will think my maternity leave will be his chance. It's really bugging me, I know my job is safe but I can't stop worrying. Any advice on what I should do or should I just stop being silly? After all I can't really control who replaces me.

No-one will be replacing you there will be somebody providing temporary cover of your role:D
Yes ur being a bit silly but I think we all felt like that when it comes to going off on maternity leave, its totally normal.
I personally wouldn't choose a meeting coz then everyone will be throwing questions at you, have you had ur scan yet? I just sent an email round with my scan pic saying new team member

Thank you! You sorted me out in such a short time - are you an expert in human behavior or something? I feel so much better now. I love the idea of the new team member, might do it today

Hi Hypno, glad to hear you have been signed off and can relax a bit now. Try not to worry about work and just enjoy being pregnant and getting ready for the Bean!

I'm sure even if it's a girl you will be able to use some of the bundle you bought, and the rest can go back on eBay, so it was still worth buying.

If you get bored being at home and want to meet up for coffee or anything then FB me or PM me on here.



General question: I have booked antenatal classes privately, but thought I'd do the NHs ones as well. I phoned yesterday and they are called Parentcraft classes, they only have courses of two (I was expecting six in a set) and I can;t make the dates! They will consider splitting a course for me but I'm wondering if it's worth bothering? I expected them to be in the week but they are Saturdays which is much more difficult, especially as OH doesn;t want to go to these as well as the private ones.

Shall I just not bother? Has anyone done these Parentcraft classes?

I find sitting reclined or lying down is the only real way to help me. When I'm sitting at my desk in work I end up in agony in the evening. I had the day off yesterday and spent the day in a reclined chair and hardly had any pain last night at all.

Yes my upright work chair is hardest on my groin pain. If i sit on sofa with knees higher than pevlis it's ok. Will see what happens as am having my second trimester risk assessment in a couple of weeks for DSE.

Have you seen this?? How impossibly beautiful are her kids?? It's so unfair! Not that my boy isn't beautiful to me of course but these kids are already model lookers!!
