@disinterested good on you if your in a position where you can do that! I quit work to start my own pet business and typically that's when I got pregnant so that's kind of been put on hold as can't be going on long walks with big or multiple dogs atm with how my back has been! Luckily I do some hours in the shop near ours which gives us a little bit of money in to top up the other half wages, I'm going to try an keep working as long as I can but I do mostly short shifts so it's not too bad for me

SJ1989 · 21/09/2017 12:55

@Iamchanging I'm glad that everything else seems fine and hopefully you will get some more answers after Monday! Fingers are crossed you get good news soon

Gemxo · 21/09/2017 14:50

What a morning I've had!!

So after more watery discharge lastnight and this morning mixed with terrible back pain I was told by my midwife to go to the maternity assessment unit to be seen,

1 internal examination, 2 swabs taken, fluid checked, urine & BP checked. Baby checked and 3 hours later I am fine!!

I can't tell you how relieved I am! I feel quite silly now but as the midwife said better to be safe than sorry as what I was experiencing can be linked to your waters breaking and needs to be checked out!! My waters haven't broke as test for amniotic fluid came back negative, test for UTI came back negative, baby was perfect kicking away with a strong heartbeat. Swabs have been taken with discharge and sent to the lab for testing to check for any other infections. Turns out I am just having really BAD muscle pain due to my ever growing body, doctor has proscribed me on codeine to help with the pain. But it's just the luck of the draw, my body obviously can't handle growing a baby haha! As for the discharge he says that it is very common for it to be watery but will check it anyway to be safe...

The joys of pregnancySmile

katmarie · 21/09/2017 15:38

Hi, I'm a bit late to the party I think but can I join in? I'm due 17th January with our first baby. We're keeping it a surprise, and I really can't wait!!

ForumUsername · 21/09/2017 17:07

@SpringChicken26 movements for me are varied
I'm away on holidays so doing nothing and very aware of them
They are in and around the same time each day (after I've eaten, or when I'm lying down)
If I'm up and about they are really low down (weirdly so)
When I'm laying down they are higher up and I can sometimes see my stomach move

Is anyone's bump changing day to day?
Two weeks ago mine was quite forward and pointed, then over the holiday it got wider but today woke up and it seems more pointed again?!

SJ1989 · 21/09/2017 17:10

@Gemxo glad everything is ok and definitely better safe than sorry!

@katmarie welcome to the club!

MissyJones80s · 21/09/2017 18:17

Iamchanging have been thinking about you today, glad your scan was okay and hope you learn more at the MRI. Glad no signs of anything else.

MissyJones80s · 21/09/2017 18:19

Gemxo Glad you went to get checked out despite some half hearted midwife making you feel crap yesterday. If you are worried, if any of us are worried we should always tell the midwife and get checked out if needed!!! So pleased all is well Smile

Iamchanging · 21/09/2017 18:28

Thanks missy and SJ. Going to try to and relax a bit now!

Gemxo · 21/09/2017 19:03

Thanks @SJ1989 @MissyJones80s ❤️

Gemxo · 21/09/2017 19:03

Thinking about you also @Iamchanging ❤️

Waitingonasmile · 21/09/2017 19:13

Hope you get better news on Monday @Iamchanging Flowers

Glad all is ok @Gemxo

WLMcI · 22/09/2017 07:47

@Gemxo, that's good news! And I agree with Missy, we should not feel silly for getting checked out when we have cause to be worried. The MWs I have met would always rather be safe than sorry. And parents are meant to worry about their children after all!

@katmarie, congratulations and welcome to team yellow! Smile

WLMcI · 22/09/2017 07:50

@iamchanging I'm sorry you have such a rough road right now. I hope the MRI gives you and your doctor reassuring information. Xx

Owl1011 · 22/09/2017 12:05

Just had my HR chat about maternity leave and my boss is going out for recruitment for my maternity cover next week - it's all getting very real now! 

@Iamchanging sending positive thoughts and hope you get more answers at your scan on Monday Flowers

MrsPworkingmummy · 22/09/2017 12:30

Gosh, talking about maternity leave makes it all very real. I'm due 27th Jan and plan to work up until 17th Jan (day before DD1s birthday). If I'm feeling too tired, I might go off on Friday 12th giving me too weeks before the due date. I'm a teacher so will have had two weeks off over Christmas, and am hoping my cover will have started by January so it should (hopefully) be a gentle week back. We can only afford for me to take 6 months off so I would really prefer the time off afterwards with baby. With DD1, I worked up until 3 days before her birth and felt great. This pregnancy has been much more tiring so I will take each day as it comes once Christmas is out of the way x

MrsPworkingmummy · 22/09/2017 12:30

Two not too x

wapphighwood · 22/09/2017 12:43

I got a phone call from the recruiter finding my maternity cover to see if I was interested in the role! Didn't check to see where I worked🤦🏽‍♀️ Good luck to my employers if this is the level of expertise to expect! Can't wait to get out of here, so bored now and tired (mostly toddler), have a bit of holiday to take and work a 4 day week so only about 28 days to work. Starting mat leave 6 weeks before due date

Iamchanging · 22/09/2017 14:28

Just had a call to say the MRI machine is broken so they can't see me until Thursday now. Why can't anything actually go well at the moment 😢

Owl1011 · 22/09/2017 15:05

@Iamchanging oh that's so frustrating for you, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to wait longer now. Sending positive thoughts your way, I'm sure Thursday will be here before you know it. Do you have anything nice planned for the weekend to take your mind off the wait? x

wapphighwood · 22/09/2017 16:45

Sorry to hear that @Iamchanging

Mummyme87 · 22/09/2017 17:08

I have annual leave at 35weeks and mat leave 36weeks... I'm a labour ward sister so will be expected to run around until the last minute!
Have been referred to birth reflections clinic today after a big emotional melt down thinking about labour and birth

MegRam · 22/09/2017 17:47

How is everyone feeling about maternity leave? I am very anxious about it - I can't bear the idea of there being someone else in my place, doing my job 😩

Owl1011 · 22/09/2017 18:01

@MegRam I had that exact feeling when talking to my boss about my mat cover this week, it's a weird feeling knowing someone else will be doing my job for 9 months! But doubt I'll be thinking about that when baby arrives!

I'm planning to start mat leave on 12th Jan 10 days before my due date, but carrying over annual leave from this year so will actually finish work on 22nd December Smile

Seven0fNine · 22/09/2017 18:15

MrsP I'm so glad you have said this and this is your 2nd!
I'm having my 1st and due on the 22nd but in a similar situation as I too am a teacher but won't be able to afford long off afterwards so want to save the time for once they're here.

Everyone seems quite surprised when I say I want to come back after Xmas for a couple of weeks.
(Plus I am super impatient and will get frustrated waiting if I'm not kept busy!! Especially if they're late...)
