@megram I know how you feel. I'm a teacher with a tricky class and am very worried about leaving them in January. Very scary.
@Iamchanging hopefully good news thursday.

Gemxo · 22/09/2017 18:19

Mat leave for me starts 15th December & I can't wait!

I'm a huge Christmas person so I'm so excited to just be off and spend time with my family & do everything Christmas before this little one arrives!! 🎅🏻

Iamchanging · 22/09/2017 18:32

Thanks everyone. No we are having a quiet one Owl as we aren't sleeping very well so are utterly exhausted. Roll on Thursday!

Disinterested · 22/09/2017 21:05

Oh @iamchanging that is bloody naff to say the least. You really are due some good news and I pray that Thursday is when it comes.

ziggzagg · 23/09/2017 00:14

Going to my 4d scan tomorrow! Excited to see my boys face!

I'm struggling with maternity leave as I don't qualify for occupational pay and can't afford to take a drop in pay (DH currently can't work) so I'm planning on 6 weeks statutory at 90% pay and then my whole years annual leave (6weeks) so trying to time it so I have that whole time with baby is stressing me out!!

katmarie · 23/09/2017 17:58

I'm self employed so my mat leave starts when I say it does, pretty much! Fortunately I qualify for Maternity Allowance, which will help. As I'm a dog walker, and I liaise directly with my clients, I'm letting them know my due date and just keeping them up to date on how I'm doing. I've been very lucky health wise so far, so I'm hoping to carry on until the new year witht he walks I ave, and I'm not taking on any new regular bookings for the time being. Most of my clients have been very understanding, since I've let them know I'll be arranging cover for them, so that has been a huge relief! I'm in my first year self employed and having first baby (that definitely wasn't the plan) so it's all a bit new!

katmarie · 23/09/2017 17:59

@iamchanging

I hope Thursday brings good news for you, can't imagine how you're feeling at the moment. xxhugsxx

Iamchanging · 23/09/2017 19:58

Thank you Kat x

Roseandbee · 24/09/2017 11:51

Also wishing you good things @iamchanging and sorry you have to wait till Thursday now! Angry will keep everything crossed for you

I'm down with a cold managed to get it on second day of my holiday:-/. I'll be on maternity from mid oct, taking it as early I can, as im generally still sick and tired most the time. I'll prob be quitting so don't need to worry about going back to soon

wapphighwood · 24/09/2017 12:14

Anyone else getting emotional? Last night I cried randomly thinking about if dh died and how devastating it would be, then this morning I cried at my 2 year old dd singing and dancing around the kitchen?! Confused

WLMcI · 24/09/2017 20:50

@MegRam I'm a bit of an anal-retentive type too and find it hard to let go when I go on annual leave, but this is different. My colleague and I have basically written an entire training programme for our replacements (both of us will go on mat leave at the same time!), so that has made it easier to hand over mentally as we feel like it's all tied up nicely! I'm going on annual leave at 36 weeks and mat leave 10 days before the due date (so I'm finished the last week of November). In the US pretty much everyone works up until the week of their due date, so being here I find a month ahead of time really long. But then in the US there isn't really any maternity leave so you have to save it for after the birth (6 weeks is the usual--if you don't go back by then you can lose your job quite easily, and those 6 weeks might not be paid). It's a luxury to have the time here to prepare for baby and get the house projects done, and with the SPD I'll be glad of it!

MrsCorr · 24/09/2017 21:49

@wapphighwood I'm an emotional wreck! I usually have a heart of stone now I can't watch the bloody X factor without a lump in my throat. I've officially become my mother lol!
I'm finishing work on the 8th of December, using some holidays then mat leave starts the 28th December. Baby is due the 8th but I'm having a c section so will be arriving a bit earlier than that. With my son I finished at 37 weeks & he was 2 weeks late so I had nearly 5 weeks off before he arrived.

Fredthefrog · 25/09/2017 07:23

@wappinghighwood your are not alone . I sobbed through a music video the other day. It was a dad story but not sure I needed to be crying that much.

As a teacher I have a week and a half at Christmas and then here are 3 insets with lots of training so I will probably go back for them. It will also be a calm time to hand over the class to my replacement as Christmas is always a crazy busy time of glitter and performance.

Waitingonasmile · 25/09/2017 08:27

I think I'll now be stopping work on 12th Dec because we don't have childcare for DS anymore. Think we can manage to juggle things until then. I would be 35 weeks,which is when I had DS,so not ridiculously early to stop. Panicking slightly about having both kids all day everyday during maternity leave (DH works away a month at a time).

Is anyone else feeling really uncomfortable during the night? My ribs are so sore and turning over is getting sore.

peachgreen · 25/09/2017 08:45

I’m not due until 24th January but I’m going to carry over some annual leave from this year so I can finish at Christmas. I would always take 2 weeks off over Christmas anyway so wouldn’t go back until the 8th, at which point I’d be 38 weeks and want to go off anyway. So am going to take mat leave from the 8th and use annual leave to cover the rest. Can’t wait! DH gets a month paid paternity leave which is amazing.

Feeling very unwell today, stomach cramps (nothing scary, just digestive!) and feeling very nauseous. Very scared that it’s a dodgy prawn - but worrying about it is no doubt making it worse!

millsbynight · 25/09/2017 09:15

I can't remember who mentioned it upthread about leaky boobs but this morning I woke up and had a tiny little wet patch on my pj's over my left boob! Oh the joys!

Hello all!

For those that remember me I was part of this group until I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks.....
Just thought I'd give you and update..... I got a bfp at the weekend, so I'm off to join the June 2018 group! :)
It's been lovely to see all the bump pics and I'm going to lurk still to congratulate you all when these babies are born..... Smile
