    When I had my wisdom teeth out, I went straight down the pub afterwards and got pssed and smoked loads of fags. As a result I ended up with dry sockets and an infection in the jawbone. Now that hurts.

    When they say 'don't drink or smoke - it will affect your healing' they mean it. :D

    Thanks Fluff. I'm not bothered about the palps, its the other stuff I'm bothered about. I don't want them to put all the appointments together in one - I want my DH there for the growth stuff (this is why I've been under the hospital).

    It's stupid really, but I can't help it. lol.

    I'm sure it won't count as a routine appt. It's not after all. You should still have your 28 week one. Is it booked yet?

    Anyone know if you can decline Enhanced maternity pay and ask for only SMP? Enhanced will put me at £400 down!

    How do you work that one out? Surely enhanced is anything over and above SMP?

    If you are worried just don't tell them you are booked in and act naive then go along next week as well.

    I would assume that you would be seen separately especially as you are seeing the consultant. I have had scans 2 days in a row without any problem one was a reassurance scan due to food poisoning and the next was my normal appointment with the consultant.
    Overdraft = £1000 Emergency fund = £2500
    Competition wins 2015 = £1400

    You can decline it however you shouldn't be down pay because of it. Enhanced should always be above SMP.

    I think the only reason to decline it is if you aren't planning on returning to work after and would have to pay it back anyway.
