  • Evening ladies;
    I've just 'popped' in from the TTC thread and wanted to give you advice re the HiPG. (Health in Preg Grant). I work in this area and I notice that some of you are having to wait for the form to be issued to you via your Midwife. The form should be issued at 25 weeks; if the form is delayed in arriving at the HiPG office and you have since given birth then you will not qualify.
    This has happened on a number of occasions and I wouldn't like to see anyone miss out on the £190 that they are entitled to through no fault of their own,
    The odds are that if you appeal stating that the midwife delayed in issuing you with the form then you will be paid but it could be a time consuming process.

    Hope this helps

    Sorry to hear your news Snugglepants :(

    Congrats Xmas :j:j

    Thanks Elliebobs - I will try & chivvy the midwife along with my HIPG, actually think I'm destined to never get my money!

    So glad your Loola's good PP, hope it takes the edge off the otherwise pants day :T

    I feel really crap tonight, my right leg/hip/pelvis is killing me, can hardly get up or down the stairs, not fun :(
    Baby Boy arrived March 25th 2010 - 17 days late & 8lb 10oz :j
  • Arghhhhh n now i have just spilt fizzy fruit flavoured water over the lappy n the touch pad is messing i think i need to go to bed and start again tomorrow :o
  • Hey all,
    I've spent a lovely lovely day with my mum having a chinwag and drink several gallons of tea lol. She's going to make me a baby sling for bf and snuggles which is so cool.
    I've decided that my pet peeve with this pregnancy are my teeth, my gums bleed so much after every brushing and constantly ache and throb. Sooooo annoying. I have lost 1 and half teeth since I got pregnant, which according to my nana is common, "a tooth for every babe" is apparently the phrase.

    Welcome to newbies and sympathy for the losses.

    :eek: never heard of that before - learn something every day on this thread. so sorry your teeth are suffering so badly.

    Anyone know what ebay is like for baby girl dresses? any suggestions via pm for good sellers;) or any suggestions for what to avoid?

    I dont want to speak too soon but i did with both the other two :eek: *touch wood* i havent done with this one but after the day i have had anything is possible :eek:
  • Me and OH have decided to try just after next xmas for the next already. I can't manage 2 xmas's without brie or camenbert lol. Plus this fishfinger should be 9-10 at that point which I think is a nice gap.
    lol 9 months on and 9 months off

    EA- I read that wrong and thought you ment you were having your bump tonight. Your only 3weeks ahead of me I think!!!
