    Glad you’re out but that is seriously bad behaviour from your work - what are they going to do when you’re on maternity leave? You won’t be able to respond then either...and you shouldn’t be expected to.

    You’ll need to speak to them about their expectations that they can contact you whenever they want - you were in hospital!! :eek:

  • I've got a prepayment card at the moment and prescriptions are free in pregnancy Monz, but apparently this tablet costs the CCG more than others in the same group so they are reluctant to prescribe but it really is a miracle drug! For me anyway.

    I kept my dinner down last night and my breakfast this morning, it's amazing! I've already put 1kg back on, although I'm guessing that's from the fluids rather than my 2 meals :rotfl:

    Had a meeting this morning with the whole office and explained my concerns and they explained that they feel uncomfortable trying to cover my work as some of it is very technical and the administrators aren't technically trained.

    I'll take that on board when I'm doing my full maternity handover and some of the other managers are going to have to step up - at the moment if they feel too busy they just push their extra work to me - not that I have time but I am much quicker than them so it's just expected!

  • I've just caught up on your diary Kirsty, sorry to hear you were in hospital but sounds like it was needed and great news on the new medication!! Long may it last being able to keep food and water down and now the 12 week mark is here I hope you start to feel much better.

    I was at the baby and toddler show too in Manchester!! I went with my friend and her sister and we had a great day. They are both pregnant and spent a small fortune like you, glad I resisted (mostly!) as I didn't actually need anything.

    £2,000 over payment in your first year would be a great achievement with your mortgage - you are the queen of over payments!

    Hope you're feeling better <3 xxx

    Afternoon everyone :)

    What a busy weekend - getting some last minute maternity clothes ready for our trip as I have a lovely little bump now and am struggling to fit into anything structured like jeans - massive on my legs and hips after the weightloss but won't do up around the bump :o

    My Dad has unfortunately ended up in hospital over the weekend with pneumonia and we were considering delaying our travel plans but A) he seems to be responding to treatment and B) we wouldn't really be able to delay as we couldn't afford new flights now so I'm going to visit him tonight and then we leave tomorrow evening.

    Excited but very nervous. Found out a close friend of OHs had a miscarriage a few weeks ago and would have been roughly the same weeks pregnant as me so I'm dreading seeing her as I know it will cause some upset for her and that's the last thing I'd wish on anyone. Plus it's a lot of flying and I don't know how I will cope with it with my constant needing the toilet and still feeling queasy most of the time....wish me luck!!

    Doctors have been rubbish - I dropped in my prescription requirements from the hospital on Wednesday and went to collect it on Friday - hadn't even been passed to the Doctor, so I was not best impressed! Have called and complained this morning as it still wasn't ready and just had a call to say it's been passed over to the pharmacy so I'll be able to collect that this afternoon.

    Argh, nerves are really kicking in! It will only be the 2nd time I've met most of OHs friends and as much as I'm looking forward to seeing his parents, I don't want to offend them by sleeping most of the first few days away but I'll struggle to do anything else - on Friday night I had 12 hours sleep, 2 30 minute naps during the day then I fell asleep at 5 and didn't wake up until 8 - watched a film then went straight back to bed :o

    Not sure if I'll get back on to update so hope you all have a lovely October!! x
