Oh no tits

horsey wat do you mean they don't sleep swaddled? Is that not the point of swaddling? I have a swaddlepod. Will it sleep in that? Oh noes. . .

I am sorry more has happened vq. I think yw's way of putting it - time to go batshit - is pretty much on the money. You should have received a call - it's the least they should have done. Call them on Monday morning explaining that your daughter has complained of being hit again. The lack of a call suggests that there is a failing somewhere in their plan and until they can fix it your daughter will be off school. I think a change of class is in order and a meeting with the head again.

Who mentioned Abigail and Isla? Lovely, lovely names. Gorgeous.

I finally got my boots changing bag today. Hooray! I also went to primark to buy a nightshirt to give birth in, a pair of jammies for afterward and a dressing gown (mine currently only just fits and has been rendered indecent due to kitty claws)

I had my 34 week appointment today. No mention of whooping cough vaccination. I forgot to ask. I will be 37 weeks next appointment so I will still be in time to get it. Or do you think I should call in and book it separately? I should get flu as well as I am asthmatic. Not that I had it last year mind you.

Tits I was nodding with sympathy about the not wanting to be in a pissy mood when they get home, because they are being inconsiderate idiots.

Then I read your next post, and giggled like mad. Not at the accident, your poor DP - but just at sods law! It'd be the kinda thing I'd post lol!

Hope all is ok, and at least now you have your answer ;)

VQ I can't believe the school did not contact you at this latest incident, particularly because it was witnessed by a member of staff. This is negligent on their behalf. I know you have been emailing to keep record of all conversations - but it may be worth cc'ing the LEA or similar, and letting the school know that you are no longer satisfied with their handling of the situation. Your daughter is being assulted regularly, and they are unable to cope with this. It isn't acceptable, particularly after you met with the head earlier in the week.

I've woke up from a fantastic sleep, slept all day with no waking. I eventually woke up this evening giggling! I was having a very amusing dream! This is unheard of for me - I tend to have strange unsettling dreams! I don't remember ever having a 'nice' dream tbh! So that was a welcome bonus! I'm telling you - nights is the way forward! Bed to myself is just pure bliss!

Does anyone else find that when they wake up, and get out of bed, their legs are unable to hold up properly without pain?! My legs seem to take a further 5 minutes to wake up than the rest of me! I hobble from the bed to the bathroom and back again every day! Irritating!

My friend who works for a private scanning company has arranged a presentation scan for me on sunday afternoon, so we can finally get an answer on what this baby is up to inside, and I can start doing things to get him to shift if he is indeed breech.

TheDetective · 28/09/2012 19:02

Pass With swaddling, it is ok to settle them if you are supervising baby, as in baby is in your arms, or in front of you, and you are watching over him/her. But if you are going to sleep, or out of the room, I'd personally unwrap baby. Once baby is settled, unwrap and cover with blankets as usual.

This is what I will be doing...

Passmethecrisps · 28/09/2012 19:06

I see detective. Why is that? Is it due to overheating?

I just bought more little lambs nappies. Offer of 8 osfa for £32. That's all the nappies I'll be getting I think.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 28/09/2012 19:18

Saw the midwife today and she too said she had had no directive as yet to offer it.

It worries me though. I am, not anti vaccine by any means but how do we know it is safe?

applepieinthesky · 28/09/2012 19:28

I'm getting some strong Braxton Hicks today. Has taken my breath away a few times.

ValiumQueen · 28/09/2012 19:33

Just sent a batshit email. Feel better for it. I said I was emailing now, as I need her to get a feel of how I am feeling, and while the details are fresh in my mind. After further discussion with DD, there is no doubt she is telling the truth, and I am most angry that I had to do this! Poor scrap. With a member of staff witnessing it, there should be no need to question her, just support her with how she feels. DH will send a considered response over the weekend. He is very eloquent and will research various things before writing. I have said she will not be in school until he is moved, and there is a clear safety plan in place to ensued this NEVER happens again. No more Mrs nice parent!

ValiumQueen · 28/09/2012 19:34

sophia have a read of the thread in pregnancy about it. Hopefully that will reassure you.

applepieinthesky · 28/09/2012 19:38

Good on you VQ it needed to be done. There has been far too much focus on this boy and not your DD. She needs to protected from this and so far the school haven't managed it so now you have to step in.

ValiumQueen · 28/09/2012 19:48

It has been all about the boy apple. Well now it is about my girl. I do not give a stuff about the plan for the boy and his rights to integrate, I care about the plan for my girl and her right to be safe.

ShellyBobbs · 28/09/2012 19:53

VQ Yep, let rip now and don't take ANY shit! You've played it their way and it didn't work, now to do it your way. Tough on his parents, it's not your problem what they have been through, as I said before I would have gone ape from the very beginning so you've done well and kept your dignity and can throw it back in their faces that you've done it way..........

Brockle · 28/09/2012 19:56

I couldn't agree with you more VQ your DD is your priority and what they are doing is just not good enough. Time to get tough. Really admire your DD though. You must be so proud at how she is handling it.

ValiumQueen · 28/09/2012 19:58

Thank you Thanks

Evilwater · 28/09/2012 20:16

VQ- I don't know how you have handled it so well. I would have gone mental, and so would DP.

As for you other ladies having trouble with your other halfs, I do feel for you. Mine says the odd comment, but as I'm getting bigger he's helping more.

Last night I joined the tena lady section of the group. Did a bit of food shopping, watched some tv on the I pad, which I'm running out of things to watch.
No headache today, but I've taken it every easy today.

Hope things get better soon for you all. Also we are using disposables, it would be only me sorting out the nappies, and I'm not going to do that Espally in winter.

Evilwater · 28/09/2012 20:19

Also to the lady that hates the e-mails, I hate them too.
Grr......

ValiumQueen · 28/09/2012 20:44

DH (bravely) thinks my email came over as emotional and angry. I wanted it to! I have told him he can do all the talking from herein, as I have managed it thus far. This is not me responding angrily to him, just stating a fact that I have taken it as far as I can in my delicate condition, and we need to bring in the heavy guns. He is very eloquent, and comes over extremely well in such situations as he is calm and confident, but wraps people up in their own words. One of the many reasons I love him so. We will send DD to school as usual on Monday, but ensure we have a clear plan in place before the end of the session or she will not be going back. And breathe...

Passmethecrisps · 28/09/2012 20:58

Emotional and angry is not necessarily a bad thing. The school do need to see how much of an impact this situation is having. However, I also think it is a good thing that your DH steps in. I really hope you get some resolution soon.

I thought I had a bit of a melt down at work yesterday - spent the whole rest of the day feeling really out of sorts. Convinced myself that I had overreacted and felt dreadful about it. However, today I get more info, discover that my gut was right after all and a colleague who witnessed the interaction assured me that he thought I was 'amazingly calm and collected'. Strange because in my head I actually stamp my foot in annoyance.

Anyway, one week left of work so if anyone is upset they have 8 months to get over it

Evilwater · 28/09/2012 20:59

Pass- sounds great.

Oh, I have not been told anything about jabs for me. Should I be worried?
I'm seeing my GP in on Thursday, should I ask about them?
