Madisson I'm similar in that I work with patients all day - they need all aspect of their care done for them, so I'm 13 hours doing baths, changing beds, making and serving food, changing clothes, and nappies in some cases, and anything else that needs doing. It's knackering, and it can involve cleaning up soiled pants etc, so yes.... Time to go! Good practice for October though! Dirty nappies won't phase me in the slightest!

how can you possibly do that while heavily pregnant. i was sweeping last night and just getting the dust onto the pan and brush. the noise of me. was a struggle. i'm not gonna complain anymore. i sit at a desk all day.

I've 20 days left, taking into account the fact that I work shifts so I'm only in 3/4 days a week

With great difficulty!! The people I work with have learning disabilities, Down's syndrome etc; I have one of them taught to follow me around and pick up anything I drop! I'm always dropping my keys! Another chap has been promoted to laundry handler, I get him to help me pull the laundry bags out of the bathroom and down to the big bins

I'm officially in love with my GP. Two week cert, with the option of extending it over the phone. I'm not going to be back in work for nearly 9 months! I feel like I've won the lotto!

Pubic bone is aching today. :mad:

They're supposed to have a replacement for me at work soon. LOL. Hope I get to meet them and show them the ropes the poor things.

For some reason yesterday I read a whole load of things about torture and war crimes. So I had such lovely dreams last night as you can imagine. :rolleyes:

I'm going to get heaps of work done today I hope. It's my version of nesting.

:P

Something just happened that I forgot completely from the first pregnancy until I heard it just now.

Baby's joints cracking. :eek:

You know the popping sound when you crack a knuckle or your neck?

That, but coming from the baby. It's lighter and slighly higher pitched than your own bones.

Had this with my little man and he still cracks from time to time freaked me out to no end though

Das Kitty

Yeah I remember James was a cracky little guy after he was born too. Looks like I'll have another on my hands!

groucho marx

ok, I feel a little stupid asking but Im starting to get creeped out. Ive been getting LOTS of pressure the last few days down low Im now at a stage where Im afraid about going back to work because Ive had to kneel down a few times at home to ease whats happening. I cannot stay still for long periods, definitely cannot walk very far and part of my work commute is a walk.

Are you guys experiencing this?? Im starting to panic.

Firstly, don't panic. The baby might be lying very low causing the symptoms. If you don't feel able to go back to work, don't. Get signed off.

+1 - don't suffer unnecessarily. If you're worried, put a call in to your midwife, they'll be able to set your mind at ease.

Roesy

I was back to work yesterday and feeling good about being back in the classroom even if my tailbone and hip weren't thanking me for it! I had the consultant this afternoon and now I'm signed off for the rest of the pregnancy. Bubs stomach size is a bit behind. He said that by itself he'd be keeping an eye but coupled with the fact that my amniotic fluid levels are lower than what he'd like them to be for where I am in the pregnancy he'd prefer if I was off and resting a bit more. I'm back to the GP next week and back to him in a fortnight for another growth scan. He's hoping that the fluid levels don't drop and that growth picks up a bit otherwise he said that we might be looking at meeting our little bundle a little earlier than we expected.

I stayed there last year, when we were going to The Late Late Show. Its gorgeous. Didnt have time to go to the spa but remember thinking wow!!! Enjoy yourselves xx

Paid off things i had on layaway today and then i ended up ordering the carseat and base to go with pram( i previously said i wasnt getting it) and paid off half of that. OH is not impressed so giving him the cold shoulder. I was having a nice, pain free and heartburn free day till i told him...

Just lying down and enjoying bean dancing... Will really think il miss the bump :-(

Yeah, I think I'll miss it too It's nice having him or her squiggling away in there

nikpmup

Meant to add as well... When your OH is back in work, and you are out and about with the nipper...well, it'll be you fiddling about with seatbelts etc trying to put a carseat into the back of the car in the miserable November weather, so tell him you've earned the base!! I bought one for that exact reason - cant be coping with messing about with seatbelts.

naughto

What car seat is it? Is it a maxi cosi, or is it a baby elegance one?
