Definitely finding it the hardest but counting down the days now!! And keeping fingers crossed she makes an appearance before then
Definitely finding it the hardest but counting down the days now!! And keeping fingers crossed she makes an appearance before thenSo exciting not long to go now @catgal and @ChattyMammyI know this bit is the hardest, well it was for me just felt in such limbo waiting for baby to arrive! But it will be so worth it xx
How are you doing @Chrisxo
I feel like I’m making a fuss over nothing now I’ve checked my booklet with my OHYou should have one at 16 weeks, scan between 18 and 21 weeks and then a 25 week midwife appointment if it's your first.
I'd call up and query it
I have a retroverted uterus which I found out about at my 12 week scan I think it’s pretty much the same thing and it also made baby harder to see at my scan.Does anyone on here have a tilted uterus? After years of scans no one has ever mentioned it but the sonographer at our 13 week scan told me a few weeks ago as she said it was making baby harder to look at to check everything.
I only ask as my back pain is so bad however the only thing she said was baby will grow inwards before popping out (belly I’m guessing although I have a bit of a bump!?) when they’re much bigger.
So I’m assuming that’s what the back pain is as it’s right on the side baby was at the scan a few weeks ago.
Can anyone tell me it gets better? Because this paired with what my midwife thinks is sciatica is turning my poor back in a 90 year olds 🫠🫠
You can absolutely do this! Look how far you have come already!Is it normal to be really emotional at 40+? I keep bursting into tears and feeling panicked that I can’t do this alone I’m so scared
Just feel so nervous and keep crying then feeling silly for getting upsetYou can absolutely do this! Look how far you have come already!
But it's totally normal to experience these emotions too xx

Your work place cannot pressure you into returning if you've been formally signed off work by a dr!Hey guys I’m new to this thread. I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. I just started my newly qualified nurse job on a heavy trauma ward and I hate it! It’s so heavy, not very good patient care and it’s really not for me. I was suppose to have my 12 week scan yesterday bur had to cancel because they couldn’t attend because they couldn’t grant me time off. It’s really affecting me mentally. Fortunately I have been awarded my dream job that I start in a few weeks which is so much more suited to me. I’m really stressed before going to work, not sleeping or eating properly and clock watching every hour before my alarm. I’m worried this is not only impacting me but my baby, and I also have a toddler to think about. I’m tempted to go off sick with stress until my job terminates but can’t help but feel like I will be pressured continuously by my current workplace to return to work. Does anyone have any advice for this very hormonal mum? 🥹
Legally I thought they had to honour any scans and appointments booked too? My manager told me that she has to honour all of them. If you're in a union @elliebakerrr I'd get onto them or HR.Your work place cannot pressure you into returning if you've been formally signed off work by a dr!
Get that sick note and don't pay them a second thought!
Have you asked for a risk assessment? I'd be asking for a risk assessment immediately given how heavy a trauma ward can be and the amount of lifts and rolls required!
This last bit is definitely the hardest!! I’ve been the same, crying randomly and so fed up. But you’ve got this!! Just this last little bit to go! Think once you’ve got your baby in your arms the amount of love you’re gonna have for the wee man and all the cuddlesIs it normal to be really emotional at 40+?

NopeDo you ever feel bad for eating or drinking certain stuff? Earlier I had a Pepsi and a while ago I had a glass of Fanta. I rarely drink fizzy drinks but I’ve really been craving them
Yes, my mum and dad gave us some full fat Pepsi about a month or so ago and I sneak a glug now and then and I get a pang of guilt. Weirdly, mainling chocolate hasn’t coaxed the same emotion from me - it’s about all I’ve got by this point thoughDo you ever feel bad for eating or drinking certain stuff?

If they couldn't even have the decency to let you go for your scan, I would definitely be going and getting signed off. You don't owe them anythingHey guys I’m new to this thread.

Your work can't stop you from going to your antenatal appointments. Pretty sure that's against the law.Hey guys I’m new to this thread. I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant.
