MrsAVB Our annual leave runs Jan to Dec. Our Mat Policy allows for annual leave to be accrued in full (as per any other employee). However our Mat Policy states that annual leave must be taken prior to Mat leave starting. However, our policy is flexible so in addition to enhance Mat leave benefits, each division can authorise annual leave to be taken after Mat leave. Do you have a copy of your companies Mat Policy? It should hopefully be in there.
Frog and Tooth congratulations on the scan..
Sultanajo thanks of the information on the 1.6mm scan results. Also sorry to hear about your Burger King experience.. Ohhhhh that must just have been awful. 
Alien congratulations and good luck for the scan tomorrow. 
Altered Not sure if you have spoken to your SIL yet. My SIL and I were both due a few days apart (this Oct) before I had a mc earlier in the year. What really helped me was the fact she was so sensitive to my pain. However I really appreciated that she didn't go on about the pregnancy and she allowed me to raise it (which I did). Also she didn't get all giddy about it in front of me when others where around even when they instigated the giddiness. She didn't avoid me, when we spoke about her pregnancy she was open , honest and continued to talk to me about our loss. She just approached everything in a really sensitive way. Everyone is different but if I was in that position again I would really appreciate been told before lots of others found out. It may be good to speak to her about it in private so that it's not a shock when it's announced to everyone. That way there is no possibility she may feel that maybe it was been hidden from her whilst everyone else knew because of her lose. It's a hard situation you find yourself in and so much respect to you for been so considerate to her feelings. Good luck
Pidey We are definitely finding out. DF and I are way to impatient.. ha ha ha. So 20 weeks at latest or if we go ahead with Harmony on tomorrow then will find out in the next couple of weeks. The Harmony test can also tell you the sex of the baby at 12 weeks..
Good luck to anyone I missed due to have scans and tests etc. My thoughts with everyone worrying and still feeling sick
As for me, I managed to eat a BBQ chicken wrap and drunk a Lemon & Ginger drink at lunch without been sick today. she says keeping her fingers crossed it won't come up in a couple of hours For those that know, that is a real achievement for me. 
DF and I are going on holiday on Friday so I am now counting down the hours. Really need a holiday and to sit / sleep in the sunshine and not worry about work , deadlines and bleeding projects?.
Hope you are all doing well ladies
