Hi Ladies, sorry I've not been around. Glad everyone seems ok, though fingers crossed for Little.
smiling it sounds really awkward, you're right, have to think about you & baby so maybe stopping early's the only way to ease up. Imagine an explicit conversation with them might help or might just make it more awkward for your last few weeks. Hope you're treated a bit more considerately now. Perhaps lugging the hoover themselves will make them realise how hard you have been working in your condition!
London sorry about your earlier bleed but glad things seem to've settled down albeit stuck in bed. Is a nice bump! Neat. I'm starting to look more pg - particularly today! Told a couple more close colleagues this week, they'd not noticed. But hope to get past xmas unnoticed faded today - had to 'retire' trousers when felt the zip creeping down, thankfully deliberately worn a long top! Still ok with most old clothes - well size 12 elasticated waists ok, Austin Reed 14s generous but size 16 jeans only just do-able! But failed to find any maternity trousers/jeans on Sat - nothing in my Next or M&S. H&M seemingly the only place with maternity stock :(
I'm ok though, happier since started feeling things from 20+5, next appointment not till 8 Jan mw though. Told parents & in-laws last week. Plucked up courage to call couple of other rels tonight who won't be positive but annoyingly no answer. Work manic though, major project running over xmas - could do with not taking time off, but as DH has to, feel should take together. Also had no leave since June, at this rate might have to add 20 days holiday to the start of my maternity leave! Would prefer to go away but mw is cautious due to low placenta/risk of bleed. No idea when to start leave - or what to do re shared parental leave, employers don't seem to have a clue either. Have to say 1st wk in Jan though?!
Still, 22+4: 5 months tomorrow :) (Sure - though London I thought you were the same as me, did you mean 22)?!
