Morning all. Wow you all are up so early. J was catching up on posts and then started writing on Word so I wouldn’t forget stuff. J
KatyLiz hope you are ok. It is normal for men not to do much and when they do, not to our standards. L you are allowed only paracetamol. L hope your tooth ache goes way. Are you seeing the dentist? Sometimes clove oil helps too.
Cake 4 brains, you look great. I want a yummy bump too! J
Ikkle hope you are feeling better today hon. Hugs to you all. Xx
LMm congrats to your friend. J
Miss monkeymoo, Men are just weird! They go mad and then when they think its ok they come back being all lovey dovey. I so hate that! That is so bad about your neighbours and your cat. I mean I love animals too but I only thing I do is just try and call them to pat them. I wouldn’t feed them otherwise they come back. L its only the birds in our garden I like feeding.
Talking of cleaning. I have given up as i dont have the energy anymore. i managed to clean the bathroom and that was it. DH goes mad once in a while, hoovered weekend gone so how his bit is done till a few weeks after now. the washing up is piling up again. he was supposed to clean the food recylcing bin and he hasnt so food waste is sat on a plate on counter. sigh. i havent touched it. The bedding that we both removed is still by the stairs so i can wash it. i just want to run away when i see how messy the house is! i am finding a cleaner i swear! sorry ranting now.
Good luck Rebekah! xx
Just feel tired and yuck. Went out with friends last night and DH was annoying me by being childish and cracking silly jokes. I am very irritable right now and I asked if we could get a cab home from the station, and he made us get the bus. Stingy git. I was just tired as it was late and we had walked around a bit before to find a restaurant etc. grrrr. Been having this pain again on the right and I am not feeling too good. Hope this pain goes. Wonder what it is? Does anyone get it?
xxBecame Mrs H on the 1st of October 2011!!

Where's the pain Rups? It's probably just stretching. I remember reading somewhere that in the majority of women the right side of the uterus moves forward first which is why a lot of people feel more pain on the right side.

emsbet, it is just under the belly region now. it kind of feels like the ibs pain yet not if you know what i mean? its not sharp as such but there!
i see the MW this friday but can it wait or am i making a fuss over nothing? it could be what you said. i mean i discharge and stuff and that is normal (touchwood). so its just the pain. ;(
cant wait to start feeling bubba inside.

Hope everyone is ok this morning.
Just nipping on quickly whilst at work, to say that i asked on the Employment board a couple of days ago about maternity leave and was told to follow this link http://online.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/logicToolStart?itemId=1096855062&r.l1=1073858808&r.l2=1083106843&r.l3=1083116279&r.l4=1096854943&type=BLTTOOL
It's the best, and most personalised link I've tried for working out your SMP, including the 90% of your wages at the very start. Good for people who's wages vary!
Hope its of use to someone else.0 -
You'll feel lots of different pains and niggles as your body and little one grow. I've had sharp pains, period like cramps, poking type pains among others. I know it's hard when you can't feel little one moving, I found the time between my dating scan and my next midwife appointment the hardest of all.
If it were me I would take a couple paracetemol and see if that helps but of course if you are concerned then call your midwife for advice.

thanks for this
i read the letter from HR properly the other day and realised because ihavent been in my company for 5 years, i dont get the full pay for 3 months like i thought.
i fall into the 1year-5 year bracket, so i get 6 weeks of full pay, followed bu 15 (or 18 weeks cant remember) half pay. so rubbish. DH was so disappointed.

In my area you don't see the midwife at 16 weeks, it's 18 instead! That was definitely the longest 5 weeks! Once you've had the anomoly scan though things really do seem to fly by
