Can I ask what dosage of omeprazole the doctor advises you take as I may take one in work tomorrow if things get bad, gaviscon is becoming really ineffective for me now.

Hi pookie, I'm on 1 x 20mg capsule per day. Seem to be working pretty well for me at the mo. Hope it stays that way.

I lurve mattress talk (anyone readin that out of context should know it's nothing like pillow talk )

Boo - what is the size of the base of ur actual basket? Soz to be a pain but want to see if it's same as mine.

I'm 34 weeks so u lot had better not have snapped them all up

Hi Glam, your post made me We seem a bit mattress obsessed!! Right well my M&P moses basket label said Dimension of base approx 710mmm x 350mmm. However the mattress that was in there which I think was the original was 67cm x 30cm which I think from memory was the same size as the one on M&P website. However the one I ordered was 66cm x 28cm and when I held it up to the old one it hardly looked any different.

Only thing I am now thinking is when I looked at it this morning I didnt think it had the airholes going through the head end like on the pic, hmm must go and check that in a min... Will I ever get to the end of the mattress saga?!?!

got-it-spend-it

I so want Angel Delight now but OH has the car, and the nearsest shop is 15 minutes walk away which my pregnant self cannot be bothered to attempt.

Well, I am procrastinating big time tonight. I think looking up that Direct-gov site for Pookie got me thinking, but it's also because I am seeing my manager tomorrow that it is playing on my mind.

Basically my job is totally unsuitable for a pregnant lady- I am on my feet for the majority of the time (6 hours a day, at least), constantly bending down to get things, cleaning etc. My boss has been helpful in suggesting ways to make it less unsuitable (ie. not carrying the heavier items, sitting down when quiet) but I'm now at the point where that's not enough. Is the onus on me to accept that my job cannot reasonably be changed any further and that I need to start Mat Leave ASAP, or is the onus on them to suspend me on full pay as no reasonable alternative can be found? I really don't want to sound like I'm being a big old moany pants, as I work really hard and have been so dedicated to my job, but I think it is really affecting me at the moment and don't want to risk mine and baby's health. Really interested in others thoughts before I see my boss tomorrow. I only actually see here face to face about once a month. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the long post!

Good on her if she does, not for me I'm afraid!!. My pain threshold is too low I nearly need an epidural to look at the birth videos on youtube!!!

I asked my MW about a birthplan and she said 'Oh they cover that at Parentcraft' Last night we were told 'Don't bother, it goes out the window'

OH won't do takeaways as we are skint! I'll have to make sure he has plenty of food in - cupboards will be stocked and 2 freezers full. He won't do a 5 min walk to ASDA for milk - he'll go without.

Thanks boo - I must measure it on the weekend, its currently on top of baby wardrobe which is 6 foot high and I can't reach.

GISI - have they done your risk assessment? if they have I would suggest they do another one as things have obviously changed for you as you have progressed in ur pregnancy. I doubt very much they would suspend you - you could ask if you could do more of a desk job.
Could u afford to start mat leave at 29 weeks if need be?

pookie5488

Gisi- could you speak to your doctor and get signed off with pregnancy exhaustion or something then you won't need to start mat leave until 36 weeks??
