I CBA socialising or leaving the house but I'm more clingy to my partner
I CBA socialising or leaving the house but I'm more clingy to my partnerIs anyone else feeling majorly antisocial in pregnancy?
I have always loved to be by myself / in silence more than going out or around lots of people but tonight we went to a party and I am so so angry after having to be social for 5 hoursFeel like an absolute psycho but honestly can’t control it
I was the same. They SAY once the placenta forms it gets easier. I am 24 weeks and naps are still life. Growing babies is knackering work.How can I be so exhausted at only 5 weeks? How the bloody hell am I going to cope with the rest of pregnancy and then having a child to look after
Honestly dreading work next week trying to manage not falling asleep at my desk.
Everyone said that to me and I can confirm whilst I feel marginally better, I still need to nap dailyI was the same. They SAY once the placenta forms it gets easier. I am 24 weeks and naps are still life. Growing babies is knackering work.
You should have a 16 week one as it’s when you get your MATB form to give to work. Most workplaces require official notification with this at some point and from what I remember with my last baby it can be quite time sensitive to make sure you’re eligible for maternity pay. I would definitely ring and check if you can go in earlier even just to get that.See this is what I expected we would have but we’ve only had 1 at 8 weeks then our 12 week scan with sonographer and next midwife appointment at 20 weeks then next scan at 21 weeks.
It had 16-20 week appointment but she crossed the 16 out & has left put it at 20 weeks but I thought that 20 was for our scan which now isn’t until 21
Hey lovely! My girl is 3, we told her when I was around 8-9 weeks as we’d already had a private early scan and everything was looking good. She was really excited and I think it helped because I could explain to her that growing a baby was tough and that’s why mummy’s tired or feeling sick in the first trimester. I have other friends who have children though and they waited longer, so I think it’s totally up to you and your family dynamic!Can I just ask, for those of you who already had children, when did you tell your little ones about your pregnancy? I've a daughter who is 6 - my fella wants to tell her once we get to the 12 week scan (I'm 10 weeks tomorrow) but personally I'd rather wait a while - however I'd be worried someone would accidently let it slip to her if i do hold off on telling her which I def don't want. Not sure what to do for the best so anyone who has any advice I'd be so grateful x hope you and your bumps are all keeping well x
Hey lovely, you sound exactly like me a few weeks ago! I’m 14 weeks, also have a 3 year old and also couldn’t hack the tiredness in the first trimester. Please remember that the first trimester is so tiring because you’re growing a baby AND a placenta! For me when I hit 13 weeks it was like a switch flipped and I’m literally back to my pre-pregnant self. Loads more energy, not feeling sick, less bloated and so on. You’re over halfway through what in my opinion is the worst trimester and you’re doing amazingly by prioritising what you need!I've not had the rage but feeling super emotional todayI'm only 8 weeks but I'm SO exhausted all the time, I'm struggling in work because I'm so tired, the house is an absolute state, I feel like I'm living in squalor. Not keeping on top of things as we normally would. It's feeling twice as hard 2nd time around because obviously I have my 3yr old to look after too, but I don't remember feeling this tired in my first pregnancy. I'm taking my multivitamins. Thankfully I'm not being sick, only feel nauseous occasionally but I just feel so useless. I've got a sore throat now too and my 3yr old has been waking at 6am every day this week cos of the clock change (I know that is good for some kids but usually she's 7 o'clock and I'm really feeling missing out on that hr!) Husband isn't completely useless, he's picking up the slack a lot, especially with childcare like he took her swimming this morning when it was supposed to be my turn so I could go back to bed but usually we use that hour to do some cleaning around the house childfree and I just slept! Also need to go food shopping desperately, I usually keep on top of that and book online food shops ahead of time.
Basically just feeling ridiculously exhausted and overwhelmed and thinking how the hell am I gonna cope with 2 kids?!
It’s going to cost me £800 for 5 days 7-5Morning! How do you decide about the hours you’re gonna do when you return to work?
As time is ticking on, I’ve been really thinking about what I will do, what I can afford, childcare etc … I’ll definitely be returning back to work after my maternity leave but deciding on the hours is tough! What I think will be best for me is 2 days in work, my mum babysitting 1 day, partners mum the other day but it’ll be a shock going from full time money to part time money!
I would wait until nearer the time to decide as lots of things can changeMorning! How do you decide about the hours you’re gonna do when you return to work?

Yes it's called proctalgia fugax!Emm... Sorry tmi but anyone else had the odd random dull but shooting pain in their arsehole?
Thanks this gives me hope! Joked with my husband that this baby is sucking the life out of me whilst our daughter sucks the life out of himHey lovely, you sound exactly like me a few weeks ago!

I just rang our community midwife hub and they posted it out to me.oooo I’m 23 weeks, my 25 week appointment with my midwife isn’t until 21st Nov so I’ll be over 25 weeks then, and I was told they’d give me my MATB1 in that appointmentMay have to ring up my midwife tomorrow about that if I need to share it with my employer before I’m 25 weeks
