Good luck today Soda!! Regardless of what happens, they're taking the best possible care of you and your baby 
I piled on weight in my first two! The only way to control nausea with ds1 was to eat constantly so I ended up like a whale, and then didn't do much better with ds2. After my surgery in January I was immobile for ages (and pretty much before) so I'm already overweight... 
not miles, but enough.
I'm going to try to maintain for as long as possible, and eat as healthily as possible (last time I ate far too much pizza, I craved it so badly!)
Feeling very sick this morning... Maybe symptoms have made a reappearance lol.
Can I ask some advice about maternity leave please? I have to give notice to my childminder if the boys are stopping (and they'll have to, I can't afford it on mat pay), so I need to get a date in my head ASAP.
Those of you on the conception thread might remember that I don't like my job very much and was looking for a new one. The easiest thing to do now is stay in post, but spend as much of next year as possible on mat leave... We're planning to move to France next summer, so to not repay my maternity money I have to work for 3 months afterwards. So I need to be back in work for the start of June, so I might as well go back just before May half term, and then I can give notice as well.
So... I can start mat leave 11 weeks early. If I do that, May half term is 36 weeks later, so still within the 39 weeks paid. And last time I had horrendous SPD so it might be better and less painful if I'm not having to be at work. But, I feel like a total idiot starting mat leave 11 weeks pre birth. I don't know anyone who's done more than 6.
But obviously that means losing money, because even though I don't earn much more than mat pay after paying for childcare, it's a little bit more. So I don't know whether I should work til October half term, which would give me 5 weeks pre-birth, for the sake of earning a bit of extra, and risk being in agony at work with SPD. I could probably get signed off on full pay if it happened, but I actually feel a bit crap about that and would rather they could just get my classes covered etc.
I'd need to ask my parents to do two weeks drop off and pick up if I go early, if not childminder can have them for half a term.
I'm also worried that given that I don't like my job I'd just be resentful as soon as I hit that 11 week mark that I was stuck there when I could be at home knitting outfits... DH has helpfully said its up to me, but I'm a terrible decision maker. I also need to check with my parents that they don't mind, but wanted to wait for the 12 week scan to tell them, but that's after the notice window for the childminder. So I can't decide whether to tell them or not... Also dad's due to have heart surgery in the next few weeks, so I guess it might be good to tell him before (although I'm sure he'll be fine).
I think basically this question comes down to, if you could would you start mat leave 11 weeks early? 
Sorry, it's literally keeping me up at night running through the scenarios....
