Thank you, @ForumUsername . 2 hours done and the worst of the motion seems to be over. Thank god for iPads. I definitely don't think 8 1/2 pounds sounds huge!! Plenty of people seem to have much much bigger babies.

Hooray for maternity leave @Gemxo ! Hope today goes quickly for you.

Mummyme87 · 15/12/2017 11:57

forumusername sounds like carpel tunnel syndrome. Request a physio referral for a splint

Growth scan all normal, normal fluid levels 👍 estimated 2.7kg/6lb

millsbynight · 15/12/2017 17:00

How many weeks are you @Mummyme87 ?

OP posts:
Ruthcarr1990 · 15/12/2017 18:17

Well today it’s happened!!!! I’m officially on maternity leave!!! Very emotional when they gave me my presents!!

Feels very very real now that I’m actually going to have a baby!!! Xxx

Mummyme87 · 15/12/2017 18:52

mills 35+4 today.

ziggzagg · 15/12/2017 19:00

I'm bored off work...plus still in the Team WhatsApp group so can still see everything that is going on!!

On the plus side only 3 more days until my induction and hopefully a very short labour!!

Maybebaby2 · 15/12/2017 20:26

3 days @ziggzagg how exciting! You are going to get cuddles so soon how lovely! Do you feel prepared and organised? I'm actually starting to look forward to my date now, 12 days to go for me! 😀

millsbynight · 15/12/2017 21:33

That’s a great weight @Mummyme87 ! Have they given you an estimate of what baby will be at 40 weeks? I was told to expect another very average baby at around 7.5lb

OP posts:
millsbynight · 15/12/2017 21:33

Wow @ziggzagg so so close for you!!! 2 more weeks for me 😩 Just hurry up baby!

OP posts:
Gemxo · 15/12/2017 21:55

& I'm officially now on maternity leave!! Ahhhh still feels so surreal, is it just me? Or has it not yet hit home to anyone else that we're having babies 👀 I don't think it will actually hit me until I'm in labour doing the hard part!!

ziggzagg · 15/12/2017 22:03

I am not organized at all!! Still feel I'm missing something in my hospital bag and I'm getting quite anxious and frightened nowConfused

PurplePoppySeed · 15/12/2017 22:29

Yey to Mat leave! First day today too! Had reflexology, then took DD to Aladdin on Ice followed by her nursery party which I was able to leave her at! Now spending the evening wondering if I'm in labour! Could barely walk around sainsburys this afternoon, PGP horrific, proper pubic bone pain and mild contractions including feeling in lower back!

The positive that's come out of it is that DH has finally cleared the kitchen ready for the birthing pool, so if it does halogen we're ready!

PurplePoppySeed · 15/12/2017 22:30

No idea why phone corrected to "halogen" should say "happen" Grin

PurplePoppySeed · 15/12/2017 22:31

Oh, I still haven't done a hospital bag... will sort before I go to bed, maybe!

Mummyme87 · 15/12/2017 22:54

millsbynight nonhavent gven an estimate for 40weeks. At a guess looking at various aspects of growth and the change since 30weeka I’m going for 8 1/2lb - 9lb which will be teeny for me (DS was 10lb 5oz)

LoobysMummy14 · 15/12/2017 23:18

Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome @ForumUsername I have it and the midwife isn't worried she said it is caused by water retension and should go after pregnancy. Its awful though isn't it, I feel like my knuckles are dislocating at times. Also I have been diagnosed with anaemia so I can't have baby at the MLU now and have to go to the delivery suit instead which I'm slightly disappointed about but as long as baby comes at the right time and is healthy I will get used to the idea :) 2 more days at work next week and we finish for the holidays (I will be 37 weeks), mat leave officially starts on the 4th Jan! I can't wait I need to be off now!

LoobysMummy14 · 15/12/2017 23:19

Sorry that was a bit of a long post Blush

MegRam · 16/12/2017 07:50

Another one who finished work yesterday! I've found the whole thing very emotional and surreal, like @Gemxo said! I think the reality is really setting in!

Can't believe there will be so many group babies soon! When we all joined this group months ago it seemed like light years away! xx

Ilikeeyes · 16/12/2017 10:14

I had a growth scan at 36 weeks. Baby estimated at 6lbs currently and told to expect about 8 and 1/2lbs by full term, so your guess sounds about right @MummyMe87

cheshiremama89 · 16/12/2017 10:49

Out of interest, how many MN'ers are receiving anything other than SMP? Xx

PurplePoppySeed · 16/12/2017 10:53

I've got fantastic maternity pay where I work, 6 months full pay (based on my current 4-day week) + still eligible for bonus in those 6 months, then SMP for 3 months, then 3 months no pay. But spread over the year it's amazing. I'm incredibly lucky and really hope this starts to become the norm as it makes taking a year off a no-brainer

cheshiremama89 · 16/12/2017 11:33

@PurplePoppySeed that's amazing!
I will be going from a considerable salary to SMP.
Really don't know how I'm going to manage to be honest, financially we will be fine as DH has a decent wage, but I mean mentally manage.
I feel like I won't have any money of my own and I'll feel like a 1950's housewife Confused

Mummyme87 · 16/12/2017 13:19

I’m NHS so get 2 month full pay, 4 month half pay plus statutory, 3 month statutory then 3 months nothing

Waitingonasmile · 16/12/2017 14:25

Teacher in Scotland and I get 13 weeks full pay, 26 weeks statutory and then nothing.

Waitingonasmile · 16/12/2017 15:12

Right I'm finally ordering things for hospital bag. Are you packing maternity pjs or normal ones? And clothes for after I was thinking maternity leggings and a tunic top?

I was much smaller last time so didn't worry as much about what I would fit into. Confused
