When did you get yours, Mrs A? Was it from the Midwife or GP?

Bear, I didnt get mine until 28 wks and told my work i wasnt due to see mw until after 25wks, they were fine with it as it is a smaller company.

Check with your work first, if its not a big company then they will prob be happy to wait a bit.

I can't remember when I got my Mat1B form but you if you are over 20 weeks you could call the surgery and ask them for it I guess They definitely don't give it until after 20 weeks.

Did anyone see LK today? some snooty woman was on there talking about women are no longer yummy mummies but slummy mummies. other mums were on there defending so called slummy mummies. Saying they are too busy with house work and actually caring for the baby/children to doll up for there husband. I was most offended her reply to that was if your so busy running around being a mum and doing housework then you wouldn't be over weight and still carrying your baby fat :eek: Is this woman for real? She prob has a nanny or staff. She actually said if we continue to not to make an effort to be slim, wear nice clothes and have make up on and prob the dinner on the table then our hubbys will leave us or have affairs.

She said slummy mummies make slummy children. Well i am sorry but i am a slummy mummie then in her eyes. i work blooming hard looking after the house and caring for my ds and trying to set up a little business from home. My hubby comes home and some times i am already in my pj's :rotfl:If i dolled up for him everyday just for when he came home he would think i was the one having an affair.

My labour doctor is awesome and I love him!

He says I can move around as much as I like during labour, he'll do intermittent foetal monitoring so I have freedom of movement, he thinks C-sections are a last, last resort and an episiotomy is just as unwanted and unlikely, there will be no screen hiding the action from the principals and they'll only take the baby to clean her and then give it back so I can nurse it. He's totally on my side and he is a rock star.

He also delivered four babies last night and kept apologising for being sleepy. Two emergency sections, one preemie and one normal birth, and all four babies and mamas are fine. I like him.

Oh, and he scanned the baby and she has turned head down (explaining the rampant nausea and misery I was feeling last night) and is definitely a girl! He got a picture of the goods that's so clear I'm almost embarrassed to look at it. Hurrah!

Hi everyone,
Yay, its Saturday, okay its tuesday but its saturday for me, booo to work :sad:

GreenT, so sorry to hear what your husband has been up to, thats really low :sad:

Sparkle, awww Lexi is a little stunner, so cute in pink!

Sorry, head to thick with baby brain to think who else said what!

urgh, my back is so sore - I keep putting it out trying to keep on top of the housework despite my kiddies best efforts to wreck the place! Oh, and I cant believe how bad my heartburn is this time and how early it started! If the OWT about hair really is true then baby will be leaving the hospital with pigtails!

Hope everyone is okay,

MBM xx
