    Never used preloved before, so just registered and I can't respond to the ad unless I pay. Or I can wait 5 more days and ask then. Patience.

    Just saw this light, it so cute!

    Good luck with the hospital bag, lovecrafting!!!! I need to get mine ready, I am 26 weeks today, so really should have it ready by the end of next week, but I know I am still missing a number of things!

    I went through my baby clothes on Saturday, and found out that I had no sleepsuits in tiny baby size!!!!! I am very likely to need them with the twins, so was just going through ebay looking for some. Need to get some cardigans as well, and maybe a going home outfit in tiny baby size, but honestly - I am not bothered, they can come home in the sleepsuits!

    I also need to get a nightdress or two for myself for the breastfeeding.... Any ideas? I couldn't see anything suitable in Primark here, or am I just blind?...

    Hi all, I need to do some catching up, this thread moves fast!

    Congratulations to emmylou :happyhear

    This is now my third week signed off work. Not in too much pain today so going to try to do a few bits, need to make 26 week appointment to see midwife and also call my HR to formally book maternity leave. Plan to start on 1st June but have annual leave from 18th May. Does anyone know when I can be asked to start it earlier if I am ill?

    Have a good day all

    If you are signed off due to pregnancy from 36 weeks, you employer can start the maternity leave from 36 weeks.

    morning all, 31 weeks today so i really should think about getting my hospital bag ready. i have been meaning to do it all weekend but just havent got round to it o this week its going to happen definatley.

    Love crafting - your welcome for vouchers.

    Does anyone have a hospital bag list?

    I am almost 37 weeks so best get mine done.

    Ended up in hospital this weekend, my urine was very dark brown, my vision blurred, very dizzy etc. they admitted me but all is fine now. Said I am anemic (sp?) and was severely dehydrated. I was given a scan and baby is no longer breech! So that's good for me.

    Hope your baby has turned Laura.

    How is everyone today? First day of mat leave today!!!

    Glad your not in too much pain today. I think each company is different, I know if I was off sick in the last 4 weeks before EDC then they would automatically start my mat leave, if the sickness was wholly or partly due to pregnancy.
