FR, that sounds about right (unless you need anti-D, in which case you'd be scheduling that appt very shortly too).

PP, I know it just started snowing quite heavily (for London!) and I have to go out for the bus soon, wahhh! I love snow, but why couldn't it be on one of the many days I can stay inside all day?

You should have a read back through the thread from last night im doing my best to queue jump :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
My original DD was xmas day which would make me 38+5 today rather than 37 weeks so im getting impatient :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

We can have a race as now I have finished work, I'm ready for bump to arrive :T The thought of going to 18th Jan when I'd be 2 weeks over just fills me with dread (sorry to all of you that are already over.. labour vibes to you all!!!)

Are you all prepared?

Its snowing?! I shall run to the window and look when i've built up the energy!

ETA: No snow in Portsmouth

Fishcake - Good luck at the MW appointment, if you have any questions about your general health ask them to. I always have a list of things that i feel are wrong with me for each docs appointment lol.
For my 31 week app with him i need to ask about my constant thirstyness lol

Yorky - I heard the babys HB at the docs at 16+5, so you should be able to

aless as long as it doesnt do what it did last febuary on the day i was due to move up to manchester i dont mind too much :rotfl: i need to try and figure out what is wrong with my heating like now though :eek: the girls are dressed and walking about with their dressing gowns over the top so i know its not just me feeling it

This is what i woke up to the morning i was supposed to move :eek:

I think so! Got my buggy on monday and that was the last thing i needed unless i have forgotten anything
I actually packed my hospital bag last night too finally :rotfl: I really need to find my notes though not sure where i have put them :rotfl:

I still dont have a birth plan but im thinking maybe i will just go with the flow i never had one with the girls neither and both their labours went ok :rotfl:
They only thing i really wanted was the HB which they have said i aint allowed to have so i dont really care about anything else now As long as i am in and out of their asap i dont really mind :rotfl:

Are you ready??

I need your help ladies, have any of you applied for the £500 sure start grant and got it?
I've just looked at the forms and its says about my income, but I don't have one at the moment, so do I still apply?

PrincessPlaty

FR i applied for mine and got it but im on income support so i dont know if its any different might be worth ringing them and asking them for advice if you can find the number x

Just rang the landlord he is coming tomorrow to have a look at my heating only 3 of the radiators are working

Just looked at the form,
I dont qualify for JSA, IBJSA or IS.
Partner has applied for working tax credit though so maybe thats ok?
We were relying a bit on this money so I'm freaking out

My friend has just had hers through and she is getting WTC whilst on ML might be better if you hang on til the WTC has been awarded though as i know they had problems with tracing hers, they sorted mine out and paid it within a week though so they are pretty quick best advice i would give you though is take it to the jobcentre yourself and hand it in so it doesnt get lost in the post! xx
