  • Happy Valentines Day :)

    Great news Courgette

    I phoned up the GPs this afternoon and the receptionist said that I had to see the GP to be referred to mw, that I couldn't self-refer. That's all good, but no, there are no appointments available at all for the next week :cool: So I have to phone back tomorrow to see if one magically appears. So very unhelpful really.

    In good news, I finally booked the venue for my DD's birthday party. And you have to have their food, can't bring your own. So although it's not very MSE, at least I don't have to faff around making sandwiches and sausage rolls the day before.

    So, what are our opinions on double buggies?

    Well my sickness has calmed just tends to be in the morning and I feel a bit off nearing bed time, but I'm eating now so feeling much better. Don't think I m ready to go back to work on Monday not feeling that great lol might see if doc will give me another week sick note then I can feel proper ready for going back.

  • All is well :j

    Thank you so much for being concerned, we've only just got home, had to wait aaaages for my blood test results.

    Baby is all well. Downs risk has gone from 1 in 85 (based on my age) to i in 1600 on my nuchal/bloods, so very happy.

    New EDD is 22/8 I have been bumped forward by 3 days.

    And the most exciting bit for me is they are 70% sure it's a GIRL!!!!! Their scanners are state of the art apparently (big London training hospital), and she is basing it on the bladder. I'm not going to rush out and buy pink or anything, but I am so happy. A boy and girl!

    I am so glad it's over...the sigh of relief was audible from the waiting room!

    I hope my boss won't be too disappointed as we are a small team of 5 so me taking maternity will be difficult for the team. I hope I can go back part time too.

    How awful! I am so sorry that she responded in such a negative way. What a grump! Well, don't let her pressurize you - you take off as long as you want.

    Great news courgette
    Sorry to hear about your boss HITC - stand your ground and don't let her make you feel bad. Remember also that you're entitled to paid time off for ante natal appointments, if she tries to make you work the time back you don't have to!

    See if your GP will give you a sick note, would serve your boss right for being such a biatch.


    I was so ill at the beginning with DS2 I had to have 6 weeks off I could barely function. Feeling really nauseous and tired this time round but I am functioning lol.
  • Blimey head in clouds, your boss sounds like a right charmer!

    You could kind of imagine such ignorance coming from a man, but another woman???
