I think you just get paid as you usually would.

After a day yesterday of baby being really quiet and starting to worry myself a bit today naby has been a right little wriggler all day. Very uncomfy and some very strong kicks. That's what I get for wishing it to move more lol

I had the health visitor come in the week, just introducing herself and giving me a pile of leaflets that they used to give you after birth, luckily she seems nice. Next midwife visit is on Monday, not sure what happens after that now

Mine did the same yesterday but I really love feeling lots of movement so reassuring. I was stressing myself the night before and didn't go to bed until it woke up. Think its just because they were more active during the day than usual. .

That's good it was a nice HV. Ours doesn't visit until after birth.

I have my scan this afternoon to check my amniotic fluid. Packing my hospital bag and car seat just incase! Baby was so sore yesterday when I walking, head engaging I hope.

I was hoping the reason mine was quiet was that it was engaging, it does feel a bit different now. The health visitor said they used to just come out after the birth but realised mums dont want a load of leaflets to read through just after as too tired lol so changed it round a bit
Good luck at the scan, hope it goes well x

Scan went well, no follow up issues. Hoping I labour before my consultant appointment and I don't have to choose whether to accept or refuse an induction. Been so tired today, had a nap and lie in and still knackered.

Pigpen noticed on the other thread your having trouble with your OH's feelings towards your body change. It must be hard if he's not being supportive, it's hard enough being self conscious without your partner making you feel like that. Is this the first pregnancy he's been like this or is it the same everytime. Hope its not getting you down too much.

He has been like it with them all.. it just means he doesnt want tents.. always a bonus lol.. it does annoy me sometimes, it isn't like I made it myself but it isn't long in the broad scheme of things so I will live... total opposite of the ex though.. so highlighting another reason why they are different, that I like! I still weigh less than I did before i got pg with the last 2 so doing much better.. and I can still walk a little way without crutches.

His mother is nattering when she can blab to all and sundry.. I said never.. I dont see why she needs to tell people that are not part of our lives, many we don't even know and will never see.. why do they need to know?? Bear in mind I've not told my mother yet haha!! I think it is my business.. and really it is no more interesting or important to anyone else than knowing what I had for lunch.. it's a baby not an OBE!!

Yeah I know what you mean about telling everyone, some people who congratulate me are random people my mum or mil has announced it to. How long are you keeping it from your mum? Lol I couldn't keep it a secret for that length of time! Ended up telling them after my first scan at 9.5weeks. Suppose it's because it's my first also.

Sounds like your coping well with your OH'S reaction. At least it's no surprise but must get irritating. Well done on the weight loss! I've not dared weigh myself since the start.

I've not seen my mother for weeks.. I'm sure she knows but I just havent confirned it.. I was 31 weeks before I told her about the last one!

My first I was about 8 weeks but I was living with her then.. I wouldn't have otherwise.. With the older ones she has been a big part in our lives and she has chosen to not be a part of our lives to the same degree the last 7 years, since I kicked out the abusive ex tbh.. so she doesnt deserve to know if she is not wanting to be a part of our lives. Harsh as that sounds.

sweetilemon

Quite agree pigpen she can't have it both ways. It's not fair when families cast opinions on relationships either - not them that has to live with the person!

Really can't wait to meet my little monkey now - just looking forward to the birth being over. It's true - once your pregnant the worry never goes. I kept saying ill stop worrying after the 1st scan, then 12week then 20 then 24 point then 37 lol...think I've realised the worry for your baby is part of being a parent! (To be).

I'm increasingly sore and uncomfortable, glad I finished up work when I did. How is everyone?

pigpen

She claims to not have an issue with OH but she clearly has because she used to come round every day .. we are lucky to see her 2 or 3 times a year.. bear in mind she lives the next street so it isnt like it is miles away! She also drives so cant use that as an excuse.. I think her priorities have moved away from family and more inverted so it is all about her! We don't go to hers because she has 5 dogs and my 5 year old is terrified of them. We joke about her being autistic but to some degree I think she is!

I'm heading up to 24 weeks .. the next milestone! .. There is always something to fret about .. get used to it that is the new normal haha

Ohhhhhhh don't get me started!! I get an angry facebook message if I write anything the remotely implies that I'm pregnant because I told MIL to keep it off facebook (and she was really badgering me for permission for her to announce it, when I haven't!).

I'm 30+1 now and I'm exhausted. MIL keeps asking when we are going to see OH's nan, bearing in mind that she lives an hour's drive away and we don't have much time before babies arrive, and it might be nice for me to be able to spend my weekends resting!

Didn't mean this to be a MIL rant but I might aswell carry on now! :rotfl: She [STRIKE]wastes her time and money on[/STRIKE] sees a psychic. When I last got pregnant she was convinced the psychic was correct because she said we would be having a baby boy in January 2017 (I got pregnant last May..). She's the kind of woman that would feed the psychic information and then be amazed when she's told things. Anyway, she's obviously told the psychic (and anyone else that will listen) about the twins impending arrival. She text OH last night saying "the psychic has told me one of the twin's names" but wouldn't tell us, saying "you need to give me the first letter of the name and I'll say if it's right or not" :mad: OH and I don't believe in any of that kind of stuff so we were getting annoyed about it, and texting her back saying that the psychic doesn't know what she's on about. Just as suspected she doesn't know the name as she said it's easy to spell, which neither of the names we picked are!

She's been trying to get the names out of us for the past 10 weeks, she's only got 7 more to wait! Why does she need to know anyway? If she loves the names, great. If not, I don't actually care.

Why can't his family be cool like mine?! :rotfl:

We had our 4d scan yesterday. It was amazing although she wouldn't behave and kept burying her face away. Delighted that we got some really good photos and DVD and I now feel it is real. Confirmed she is a girl so I can now feel a bit more comfortable shopping for clothes!


We also got our nursery furniture yesterday. It is the Mamas and Papas Rialto which is on deal at the moment. The in-laws bought this for us which I am completely overwhelmed at. We haven't had to buy anything really. I have amazing in-laws so can't join in the moaning, I really am lucky!
