I’ll be taking a full year, but don’t think I’ll be going back afterwards as I hate my job and being on minimum wage won’t be enough to cover childcare costs unfortunately

I plan to take the full year then either not return or return 2-3 days a week, I don't earn enough to justify the cost of childcare full time and I don't like my job. I'm eleven weeks tomorrow and can't wait to leave 
I’m taking 12 months, I did with my first. I’m so lucky I get full pay for 24 weeks then SMP up until 39 weeks then for the remainder of the time I’ve got savings to use. It will be a struggle and we will be making sacrifices but it’s time I’ll never get back. I know everyone’s different but I work full time and always have and I can’t wait for a year away from work
Can we just talk about how disgusting the cost of childcare is!!! Looking at about £800 a month for 4 days a week 
Yeah it’s shocking, worse when you have a September kid as well like me, don’t get the 30 free hours till the January and just missed the school cut offCan we just talk about how disgusting the cost of childcare is!!! Looking at about £800 a month for 4 days a week

I think I've caught symptoms from this thread lol after not having any for weeks I've got terrible trapped wind again
I've got twins on the way plus a toddler! It's flipping expensiveYeah it’s shocking, worse when you have a September kid as well like me, don’t get the 30 free hours till the January and just missed the school cut off
So expensive and severe lack of availability where I am, even over a year in advance! Stressful having to sort it out before baby even arrivesCan we just talk about how disgusting the cost of childcare is!!! Looking at about £800 a month for 4 days a week

Anyone else have awful belly button stretching from an old piercing. I had it with my first pregnancy but don’t remember it being so painful. I have a scar/stretch mark that’s at least a cm wide and it feels like it’s stretching more now. I don’t care about the stretch mark it’s just so sore 
@calmyourritas still no baby!! How are you and your little miss doing?!?
Due date today and I've got a hospital appointment. Not entirely sure what it's for? Guessing to schedule inductions etc just in case??
Doubt they'd give me a sweep at 40 weeks?
Had a few tightenings in the middle of the night, but nothing consistent so I'll assume braxton hicks. Wasn't worth waking my hubby up for anyway. I've tried everything from sex to Aquanatal to spicy food to warm baths and bouncing on a ball. They've dropped significantly more over night so

Not sure what your hospital appointment will be unless you're under a consultant. In which case it's just a normal consultant appointment.@calmyourritas still no baby!! How are you and your little miss doing?!?

They will probably offer you a sweep though
They usually offer them from 40 weeks.
Mine don't book inductions until nessasary.
They wait until 10 days over to even consider haha
Has anyone had a child with chickenpox while pregnant. I’ve had chickenpox before so I should be immune but feel a bit worried.
My MW told me yesterday at my next appt (40 weeks) they will be offering me a sweep if he isn’t here so it’s quite possible they will@calmyourritas still no baby!! How are you and your little miss doing?!?

Lol. I’m 19+4 and my maternity leave has already started
I got made redundant from my job in tech got a solicitor and they’ve had to cough up for my next few months loss of earnings. And all my enhanced maternity pay. (Take note ladies, no company can just lay off a pregnant woman, or at least not without being extremely careful, which most companies aren’t) Just going to enjoy it until he’s a year old I think. I’ve been working for 16 years in a high pressure area and even always had a part time job in school. I’m really looking forward to some time off. Part of me thinks I would hate to go back.However let’s see how I feel in a few months
Contact your midwife to be safe because you can catch it more than once
Just woke up and tested positive for covid, I’m due to go on holiday in 12 days 
do I need to let the midwife know? x
