I can only imagine.... I'd definitely be getting signed off, use the time to get as much rest as possible. Also to organise friends and family to dig in when baby arrives - even having someone come a couple of times a week to Hoover/fill the dishwasher & washing machine etc will help. My sister is being made redundant in a few weeks; I've already got her signed up for a dig out - nothing like taking advantage of a situation :P
ooh i will be
my sister is off at the moment getting my hospital bag ready for me so im lucky that my family are being so supportive, id be lost without them.
Only sent my maternity benefit form in today!!! sooo unorganised :S0 -

The only reason I sent mine in on time is because I was chatting to the wages lady in my job when I was 23 weeks, she printed the forms off there & then for me to fill in!
I know it seems very daunting facing all of this alone, but you'll come through it, and a lot stronger for it. A few years ago, I was seriously contemplating donor sperm and single parenting - I was widowed, and I wanted children. There was no guarantee I was going to meet someone with whom I could have children so the idea was there as an option if I hit 37/38 and wasn't in a relationship. Fortunately I met a wonderful man and he was on the same page as me. (I know you are subscribed to this thread by the way, Mr Wonderful! :P) But I was still prepared to go it alone if I had to. You'll be fine Madisson.0 -

Thanks a mill nikmup
need that encouragement sometimes.
So stressful with everything and the wondering wjat my ex is going to be like when shes born. Ive had to block him from everything, the douchebag actually sent me a picture of a girls boobs that he had either taken or had been sent to him, just to make sure I was under no illusions about him moving on. WHO DOES THAT!!!! I can see him being too lazy to care much when shes born and things would be so much better that way. Just nervous he's going to start loads of drama!!
Time for relaxing now and hopefullt when shes born all that mess will just sort itself out 0 -

It is quite busy in here alright! Will sort my maternity leave forms this week when I go back to work. Do they have to be signed by your doctor? Am quite drained this evening. Found out earlier that my mother was rushed into hospital during the night with a suspected heart attack. Thankfully the tests seem to indicate it wasn't her heart but they don't seem to know what caused it. She tells me she's feeling alright now but I've been really upset about it all day.
Jesus Roesy - you poor thing, that's awful. Great that it wasn't her heart, even though they're not sure what it was ruling the heart out is good news. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for her. You do have to get mat benefit form signed by the doc, but they can so it there and then.
Madisson - that sounds like the work of a grade A plonker. Ignore, ignore, ignore..... Any reaction on your behalf will fuel his behaviour. You can completely cut him off until the baby is born. After that, minimal contact to sort out anything you need to; you don't need to get embroiled in his game playing.
On a more positive note, I just saw an ad for QI on Dave, which stated that Oct 5th is a baby boom date.... As it is 9 or so months after New Year's Eve So how many of ye had a good festive season? :P I know I got pregnant on or around my OH's birthday on the 9th February, as that's when I ovulated. It would explain the busy October wards!!
Edit - just used an online due date calculator, and for a woman to be due on the 5th oct would mean that the first day of her last period would have been around New Years, not her ovulation date, so that theory is out! Maybe the cold, dark January nights are more the reason..... We need something to warm us up

Rosey hope everything is ok, speaking from experience Ireland really has great heart specialists and she will get great care!! She's in the right place, hopefully she will be feeling much better soon.
Ohhh i know, complete spa haha!! At least with these other women on his mind he doesnt bother me as much as he used to so its good
My date was on the day of my dads funeral 26th of Jan, one forgot to take ones pill. One life ends and another one begins and all that
Either there are more of us on this thread than the rest....OR.... we're all more moany than the rest of them

Writing this from a hospital bed
was very worried all weekend as my movement was significantly reduced so came into admissions Sunday morning and here since. Have been scanned 4 times, on ctg 3 times a day and only today movement is picking up...they aren't telling me a whole lot but think its down to excess fluid surrounding the baby....hate it here... Just want to go home to my own bed 0 -

Oh trinz,.
Hopefully all will be well soon. Well done for going in and recognising the reduced movements. I'm not sure I'd notice most of the time.
Have they given you any steroids? If not I'd say they're probably confident the baby will be staying put.
Feel better missus0 -

Have had 2 doses of steroids which are not at all pleasant!!! I am just screaming out for sleep now....that is all I want...
Is it the bed or the noise?
A good pair of wax earplugs and your own pillows from home could make the difference. If you're having them brought in, make sure they're put in colourful pillowcases so they don't get mixed up with the hospital ones.
At least you know now, if the baby does come early, his or her lungs will be ready.
Take care

I want to be plucked and preened for labour, also for the purposes of the post birth recovery, I reckon bald will be more hygienic!0 -
I was considering it this time. But I've dealt with some ingrowing hairs in the past and having to put up with that and not be able to see or reach anything made me say no.
I'll go back to the waxing post birth methinks.
(also watch out for the multidirectional pee with the hollywood) :pac:0 -

Madisson - it was pretty sore!!! Esp the bits where she used the hot wax as opposed to the normal, strip wax - picking the first bit off to get a grip hurt like bejaysus, but it's over in a few seconds. I have to give it to her, she was thorough!! I haven't a blade of hair left!
I kept telling myself to suck it up, if I can't do a bikini wax I can't do labour!! 0 -
