Hi not sure if this is the right place. But is anyone a teacher who knows what the maternity pay is? I have looked at the nut website but I don't understand it. Can anyone help?

Great news and pic Sequeena. That must be a real relief

I am now on the hunt for a new mattress as OH has pronounced mine as broken. We sleep separately at the moment as he goes to bed and gets up very early for work, and me struggling to get comfy and getting up for a wee loads of times, just didn't work
We decided to try swapping mattresses as his is very firm, to see if it helped my hips etc. He's made his bed up with my mattress and says it fcuked. It's all sunk in the middle. I did have my suspicions as the springs kept pinging and there wasn't any support there.

OH's mum is taking me to hospital tomorrow for my physio, so may try and order a new one while we're in town. I don't know how long they take to come through.

I am not impressed as my mattress is a SilentNight one and only 4 years old, so shouldn't have given up the ghost yet :eek: And it cost £300.... Grrrr.

Sequeena

oh no I've not long bought a silent night memory foam mattress... hope it lasts a while. £200 is a lot for me :eek:

Just been looking on the Dreams website and will probably have to spend another £300 to get a decent mattress. Great, just what we need what with moving costs and baby, but it is essential to get one.

I thought Silent Night were good as well, that's why I bought that one. I won't get another one. Hope yours is OK Sequeena. Hopefully they have improved!

Try !!!!!! !!!!!! (this is silly) (bed) (lum) Beds - without the brackets or space, I can't link the site for some reason and I'm not going to link to the user on here, but the owner is a well known poster. We paid very little for our bed compared to Dreams and it's still as new 18 months down the line.

We are now in the last 5 weeks, Nicola finishes work tomorrow and I've been clearing out all my boys toys Got my car on ebay at the moment as it's not family friendly! Our baby now measures at 37 weeks instead of 35 so it's weekly appointments now.

Morning all

I was woken at 6:30am for the 3rd time in a row with my DS on the loo shouting for me to wipe his bottom! What a lovely way to wake up lol

Great news Sequeena on the fluid replenishing and lovely pic.

Congrats on team blue supermaiden.

Hope today's the day for the fed up boldies, will be sending labour vibes your way.

That is annoying about the mattress Digital! An expense you can't really avoid unfortunately.

Lovely way to be woken up today Nic!

Talking about mattresses, I need to find some plastic sheets or something just in case, only got ours a year ago.

I am 35 weeks today! It is creeping up on me.

Nic, i get woken up like that too. My dd kinda sings it tho, "muuuum, will you come and wipe my booooooootttooooooommmm"

Lovely scan pic sequeena, glad things are ok for you now....but take it easy.

Congrats on the team news from those who have just had their scans.

Wendz, i bought some maternity mats, think you can get them in the supermarkets, got mine in tesco. Then you can use one in the car, should your waters break etc. Although i still haven't put one on the mattress, despite being 9 days overdue....i'm a lazy cow.

Sending labour vibes to DM and waterbaby and myself, lets hope today is the dat for all of us, we need t get that list moving. I have the midwife later, for a sweep, i don't think anything has pregressed with me though
