I’d call, better to go in & be reassured than not. I worried for a whole day before and wanted to slap myself waiting in triage in tears in case he wasn’t ok, thank god he was but the midwife very sternly told me “you’re not wasting our time, we want to see you if you’re worried and come straight in next time!” So I’d 100% go x

I think you have to be earning above SSP to get SMP, but you may still get SMA? But would mean you lose the first 6 weeks at 90%, have you checked that out? It’s the reason I clung on at work until 25 weeks

Has the fatigue returned in the third trimester for anyone else? I went swimming and swear it wiped me out for two days. I get up, have breakfast then need a nap

34 +4 today and I am absolutely shattered today. I don’t know how people work up until 37/38 weeks I haven’t even done much these last few days, Sunday lazed around a lot, Monday went for a (2 mile, slow) walk and yesterday just went to see a friend!

I had like a 3 day respite at about 5 months and that’s it yesterday I drove 50 mins for a meeting and got there and honestly just wanted to nap, then got home and couldn’t move off the sofa the fatigue has been awful, I’m the same in terms of naps and I’m 32+6

In my experience, I think it depends on your other weeks, I think they're added together and divided. So if your other weeks average it out, then it's fine.

I'm not 100% on that though

Thank you both, I’ll see if I can do a calculation online. Seems a waste hanging on in a job I hate if I’ll need maternity allowance in the end!

I don't think I've posted on the Pregnancy threads before, so hi! I'm about halfway through my pregnancy and having my first wobble about feeling unprepared/ wondering when I should buy things/ research things. As it stands I've bought a few small bits and pieces and I've got a list of what we need to have before baby arrives.... also booked some antenatal classes for a couple of months time. What has everyone else been doing to prepare at this stage!? It feels like I should be doing more somehow. I don't have another midwife appointment until 25 weeks and I imagine things will go very quickly after that. Everyone had these moments of panic, right!?

Hello, and congratulations! Yes, I'm pretty sure the panic is universal! I hadn't had the panic for most of my pregnancy and knew roughly when I'd start researching things/buying things so felt quite calm....but then I had two weeks off sick right when I was in the swing of things, and now I'm suddenly at 29 weeks and have barely done anything I saw my midwife today and she was very reassuring about having lots of time to get sorted, and a lot of my friends with children have said the same - gradually do research, gradually buy the essentials, and it'll all fall into place everyone's different - some people buy loads of stuff and get it set up ASAP, others wait until later and top up with things once baby is here. Keep going with your lists and you'll be fine!

Hi, I hope everyone is okay. Just thought I’d post on here in case anyone has this in the future or has had the same thing… We went to my 37 week scan today and was told baby had no fluid around them and the growth has slowed. The doctor advised induction or csection straight after this scan as this could be potentially dangerous. All documents signed and I’m having a C-section in the morning! I’m currently on the ward now after spending the whole day hooked on and off to the monitors and having obs done. My hospital bag wasn’t even packed and today was meant to be my last day of work so I didn’t even get 1 day of Maternity but hey ho, baby lemonade will be here tomorrow

yeah it’s been a bit scary at times but I strangely feel really calm now I know what the plan is! No, I should have mentioned that they checked to see whether my waters had broke and they hadn’t, it’s just my placenta had pretty much stopped working so there was really small amount left. Pretty scary to think what could have happened if I hadnt of had my scan today!

Baby cheese arrived today via emergency section after 2 days and nights of long but seemingly pointless induction... We are in love...

Are swaddle bags safe for newborns? She keeps startling herself and waking up

Congratulations!!

I actually was going to ask similar… I know that swaddling is definitely safe. I have packed a swaddle bag for hospital too..

Double check the weight as some swaddles are for a higher weight & not really suited for a fresh newborn. If baby isn't at the correct weight limit yet you can swaddle with a cellular blanket, just have a look on YouTube how to swaddle safely with a blanket to protect their hips.
Also check out the love to dream swaddle bags, they're suitable from 6lb
