If say your manger is insisting on you seeing GP to get signed off, do it!! Pretty amazing that they are being that supportive. I don't know of many employers who would encourage it. Most in my experience just see you as a number
If say your manger is insisting on you seeing GP to get signed off, do it!! Pretty amazing that they are being that supportive. I don't know of many employers who would encourage it. Most in my experience just see you as a numberI have already reduced to 4 days a week using my leave which helps a bit but the issues are still there when I’m in and honestly my tolerance for peoples shit has just gone out the windowstill pondering over what to do but they were fairly insistent I see my GP so will book an appointment. I always feel though the GP will just sign you off and not really advise on whether you can continue.
20 week scan next Thursday herein terms of them checking everything, they should be able to without any problems at 19 weekswe had a delayed scan at 16 weeks and a few days and they were able to see the gender if you want to find out, our baby just wasnt in a good enough position and wouldn’t move! Good luck though, hopefully as soon as you see baby on the screen your anxiety goes the waiting is just so horrible! Just try to relax as much as you can tomorrow (I know easier said than done), mines just after 12 next week and I just know I won’t be able to concentrate in work that morning and I’ll be in a foul mood!
Good luck! I swear time stood still in the lead up to my 12 week scan!I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and I'm absolutely fucking shitting it. Scanaxiety of any sort is hell on earth so I feel for you all
Exciting! You’ll meet your baby this weekHad a routine growth scan today and babies tummy still hadn’t grown since the last one. Been booked in for an induction on Thursdayslightly terrified but so excited
All the best for it! That lead up to the 12 week scan in my first pregnancy was honestly the slowest that time has ever gone and I was a bag of nerves for a few days before.I have my 12 week scan tomorrow and I'm absolutely fucking shitting it. Scanxiety of any sort is hell on earth so I feel for you all
I had a feeling this one might have been a girl, but I was so wrong!thank youeverything was fine at the 16 week scan so hopefully it will all be fine, trying to think that anyway! Ahh how amazing, congratulations I have a feeling that I’m having a boy too by what a sonographer said in a private scan and just a feeling, but it was too early for them to officially tell us. Fingers crossed we find out next week if the baby will move their legs this time haha, my boyfriend is adamant it’s a girl though so that will be interesting to see who’s right
yay we are so close together, my due date is the 24th of Feb but I originally thought it would be 4th of March due to my last period xx
I wish I could offer some support but I am in almost the same position so just sending a big, big hug.re the leggings, I have these ones and they are amazing. So so comfy just the right amount of stretch and thickness and kind of half way between cotton leggings and activewear. Pricey but I’m going to get another couple of pairs as I think I would continue wearing these after birth.Black Maternity Ultimate Soft-Touch Leggings | LOVALL

My work is hideously stressful at the moment and I’m getting almost zero management support due to my own manager having just come back from mat leave herself and all our senior management being off sick or on holidays. It’s bad! I work in HR so all of my work is basically dealing with very difficult and upset people and it’s very draining. Had a chat with one of the other managers in my department and she has picked up with my manager and told me to get myself off to the GP and get signed off until my mat leave starts end of the month. Really struggling with this as I wanted to keep going but it’s making me so ill and stressed! What am I going to do with myself finishing at 34 weeks
Aww that’s soooo lovely
I will be thinking of youI have my 12 week scan tomorrow and I'm absolutely fucking shitting it. Scanxiety of any sort is hell on earth so I feel for you all
You need to call your surgery and arrange the booking appointment with your midwife if you haven’t done so.Hi Ladies, just a question to keep my peace of mind. I’m 10 weeks pregnant and haven’t been contacted by midwife to arrange first appointment, is this something that’s completely normal? First pregnancy and worried Id been missed off the list!
Ahh good luck!!Had a routine growth scan today and babies tummy still hadn’t grown since the last one. Been booked in for an induction on Thursdayslightly terrified but so excited
Hard to say, I had head settling pains with my daughter for weeksI’m 35 weeks tomorrow, did anyone start having pain “down there” at 35 weeks and how long after did labour start for you?
They are supportive in intention which I’m glad for they just don’t have capacity at the moment to give me the support I need which is actual workload based support. It’s all a bit rubbish as I don’t want to make things harder for them but I know I need to put myself and baby first. My cortisol levels must be through the roof.If say your manger is insisting on you seeing GP to get signed off, do it!! Pretty amazing that they are being that supportive.

Mine wasn't until 11 weeks as my midwife was on holiday and I think I got forgottonHi Ladies, just a question to keep my peace of mind.

I wasn't contacted until 10 weeks but ring them up wherever you referredHi Ladies, just a question to keep my peace of mind.

If *anyone* said that to me, I'd yeet them into 3021Started the hypnobirthing course with the Positive Birth Company...
So far the woman has suggested that Mr O brings some 'affirmation cards' along to the labour so he can recite statements such as 'birth is powerful but so am I' and ask me how 'powerful' my 'surges' are.
I hope they'll have a surgeon on standby for him, because I have a feeling he'll be having those cards removed from his colon before long.
I guess it depends what kind of pain.I’m 35 weeks tomorrow, did anyone start having pain “down there” at 35 weeks and how long after did labour start for you?
