First Time Frolicker Graduates...

[WhiteRoses]

...now the "Crazy Baby Ladies"!

Had the idea to start this thread because, after getting my BFP on Monday, it suddenly dawned on me that I was going to lose contact with a lot of lovely people. I feel sad every time anyone leaves (though obviously happy for you that you've got your BFP) and thought this might be a nice idea, so that we can continue to keep in touch. After all, we've been through a lot together, haven't we?!

Also, I felt a bit out of my depth on the other threads, where it seemed like most of the members had already had children. There didn't seem to be a "first-timers" thread on here. (Unless I missed it!)

So here goes!

Fullham - sorry, I missed your post there... How dreadful for you... I hope you're going to stay off now? You should try talking to Citezen's Advice and have them help you draft a letter to that boss. She's SO out of order. I'm sure you could take her to a tribunal over how you've been treated... Not that I'm suggesting you'd really want to, but maybe the threat would be enough to make her behave herself? It's absolutely unreal. [hug]

Oh Fulham what a cow your boss is - even worse than mine! Roses is right, an official letter might just be enough to make her behave herself for the next two months. What she is doing amounts to bullying and no one should be treated like that, not least a pregnant woman!

Fudge - I am only going to the doctors this week, when I will be 8+5 [naughty emoticon!] I have been to the EPU and had two scans though, to check on the little bean. But I figure the doctors don't do a lot for the beginning part anyway, so I don't feel too guilty. Hope that your doc is nice and excited for you!

Roses - glad that you are feeling better but at the hospital fuck-up. You put so much trust in them to look after you and your little one, and its really concerning to think that they might actually end up doing more harm than good. Thank god that the medicines didn't affect you.

CitIzen's Advice! What on earth was I thinking?! That so clearly looks completely wrong! Baby brain?!

Pixie - hi! I know. I was not impressed! But still. I'll know to be more cautious from now on.

Afternoon all!! How are you? I'm good, very very tired. Managed to get someone to fix the bonnet catch on the car, so that will be fixed tomorrow morning. Someone at work heard me talking about it and within half an hour he had me sorted out with a garage who he knows the owner of. Sometimes, it's not what you know but who you know. I had a bit of a worry last night with some spotting, but all appears well at the moment. Though I'm on knicker watch at the moment. It's all fun and games eh!

Fulham (Flexes knuckles, stands on soapbox) Right your boss is a full on idiot!! Seriously, what she is doing is against the law!! She is using your sick days as a reason to dicriminate against you because of your pregnancy. That is against the sex discrimination act. If there are disciplinary proceedures in relation to sickness in your workplace, pregnancy related illness MUST and I repeat MUST be excluded. You must not be treated unfairly because of your pregnancy. Also your chair, all employers have a legal responsibility to make reasonable adjustments to enable you to work in comfort and full health. This is covered by such things as the disability discrimination act etc etc. Look at this handy little leaflet. You could take this woman to a tribunal and she would leave crying. She is breaking the law, you should seek legal advice or at the very least go to citizens advice. She is not acting within the law and whats more, she is bullying and harrassing you. That is bullying in the workplace and is not to be stood for. Please take action against this. Stuff like this makes me SO angry, I can not stand people who bully others. It is unacceptable and against the law!!

Right other than that, how are you? I'm sorry to hear that you've not been feeling well. I can sympathise, you must be so glad that the end is in sight though.

Let us know how it goes with your boss. Can you talk to someone higher than her?

Ozziegirl That woman sounds like an interesting one. I'm glad you got over your headache though.

Whiteroses On my gosh! How scary, I'm not surprised you've lost faith in them. I'm seeing the midwife next week and I'm hoping that she'll be nice to me or at the very least will take my blood pressure. Still can't believe my Doc not doing an examination on me. At least I got a thrilled expression from my dentist. I'd advised you all to go if only for the reaction. The woman in the bed next to you sounds lovely, I'm glad she finally got her little one. It makes you realise that often there is that glimmer of hope. Maybe you should complain, if only to bring the mistake to their attention. I hope your morning sickenss gets better soon. Bless your DH, without us studying our nether regions in indepth detail they would have been none the wiser.

Pixie Hello there!! Two scans? Did you get piccys at each one? Random question I know, but it would be nice to be able to say to DC at some point. 'That was you in Mummys tummy when you were only two weeks old' or however you want to phrase it.

Well i phoned the surgery today and have an appointment booked with the doctor next Monday. I think that it is starting to sink in a bit now but i am constantly reminding myself that it is still very early days. Knicker checking all the time!!

chance my doctors surgery is a shambles to be honest ? you never see the same GP twice. Will have to see what this one is like next week.

desperate wow feeling kicks must be amazing

Hi pixie im with you on sticking with this thread ? it seems so much better as we are all in the same boat as first timers but also because we are all at different stages so still plenty of info to share. Sorry to hear you are feeling sick ? i doubt it will be long until it gets to me

ozzie its good to know that paracetamol helped with your headache. It seems to be such a minefield of what you can\can?t take when pregnant

fulham god your boss is a bitch. You must plan revenge.... how about on your last day you hide a bag of frozen prawns in her office

roses only one week until your scan ? you must be so excited im sure seeing the LO will in some way make up for having been stuck in hospital. No we haven?t told anyone yet, Ideally i would like to wait until after the 12 week scan, but i may have to come clean sooner if i get bad sickness. Guess i will just have to wait and see.

Morning guys.

Thank you so much for the support. Has made me feel so much better reading this.

I feel better this morning so I have come into work yesterday though was a very different story.

hermya-thank you so much for the advice hun and the link.
I have a meeting with HR next week and seriously thinking of taking her to a tribunial this woman has 3 grievences going against her at the minute as well its like she has no clue.
An ex college of mine had her leaving party on friday I didnt attened being heavy now but I wish I did. A girl I work with on reception one I class as a really good friend become really ill in the pub. It was not alcohol related as it was to early in the night. What happened was she became consipated and I know what that feels like its the worst ever. So she was passing out and being sick whilst staining (sorry to be so graphic) anyway my friend was in such a state she called an ambulance as she didnt know what was going on. Luckily to of my other work colleges found her and was helping her through it. Then one went down to my boss and explained and do u know what she thought it was funny. My college said to her repleatedly its not funny at all I dont why u are laughing this girl needs your help. Anyway my so called boss then goes over to her sidekicks (deputy manager and help desk operater they are all close together known as the 3 bitches) and tell them and they all think its halirious!! So theve all gone upstairs to the toilets to laugh at her discomfort.
My other college put my friend in a taxi costed her loads and told her boyfriend what was going on.
The help desk operater was driving that night and couldnt be bothered to get her home.
And that is just one of the very many stories of how much of a bitch my boss is. That only happened on friday I was so upset when I heard.

We are all going to put in grievences because she has done something to all of us in one way or another. But my case can definetly go further.
She has no right to say my pay will be docked when im so ill scarying me to come in and get on with it (what a selfish person). Me and my DH will struggle through enough without her saying that to us its our first baby as well so we dont know what to expect she is just a cow.

Anyway lol.....

white- how u feeling huni? Is the sickness easing off for u at all? Sorry to hear that youve been so poorly with it all I wasnt as sick as u but can imagine its horrible !!

pixie- sorry hun just read your post!! What did your boss do? What is it with these people my mum had such a lovely boss when she had me couldnt do enough for her.

Lol I wont go onto anyother site im very happy on this one. !!

Other than my work situation I dont have that long left here anyway im doing good (apart from the snotty cold ).
Im in my last week of my second trimester as from Sunday I will be 7 months and in my last stages cant believe it really.

xxxxxxxx

fudge - Your doctor will get u all booked into your first scan and the midwifes. He writes to them both u c. My doctor was not really that excited for me I was doing star jumps lol.

I see my midwife for the first time at 12 weeks and I had my first scan at 13 weeks so the first 12 weeks go so slow. I found out so early though I was only 1-2 weeks pregnant which is prob why it seems to be taking so long for me.

White Roses - sorry to hear you were back in hosp. As you have now almost hit 12 weeks hopefully you will start to improve, and won't get that sick again.

I went for my early private scan yesterday. It all looks fine - there is only one in there (disappointing as that means I will have to go through all of this again at some point in the future!!), but s/he looks as they should at this stage, with a heart beat and an egg sack. They gave us photos to take away which are nice to have, but basically it just looks like an oval shaped blob at this stage!!! Risk of miscarriage is now 3% apparently, and it will drop to 1% by time of 12 week scan.

I have been really up and down, feeling very very sick on and off, but I am trying not to let it get me down so much, as I was feeling so fed up last week. I am almost 8 weeks now, so I keep telling myself that its not going to get any worse, and it will soon start to tail off.

I just can't wait for nausea to ease up - I am so sick of not being able to eat properly. I really want to start stuffing my face with all sorts of good stuff to try and nourish me and the baby after the past few weeks, but I am still struggling with anything other than toast, bananas, and crunchy nut cornflakes!!!

Anyway, I better go and do some work.

x

heya addie - sorry to hear your going through such a hard time. I had and emergency 8 week scan as well and comparing it to the pics I have now I know how dispaointing it must be to just c a blob lol!!
But your 13 week scan is brill it looks like a proper baby and then the 20 week one is even better thats the scan to get the tissues out to trust me.

My sickness went after around 12-13 weeks. At one point I oculdnt get out of bed no where near as bad as white though poor little girly!! !!

Dont worry it wont get any worse and when u reach 15 weeks u will be eating loads and prob find u want more and more 's lol. I love the choclate now ive never really had a craving but chocolate seems to be drawing in especially munchies!! .

your be blooming soon and u will be writing to me saying u were right lol.

Chin up hun only got 4 more weeks until u hit your safe zone even though u are pretty safe now!! Everyone worries though trust me.

xxxxxxx

Ahh, Addie , Crunchy Nut Cornflakes!! The food of the gods!! I am having a bowl a day to see me through this nauseous bit and they (usually) work a treat! Glad you are feeling a little better this week.

Hermya I didn't get any photos from the scans I had. They were "emergency" ones - though that makes it sound scarier than it was - so everything was very brisk and quick. I didn't even get to see the screen - the nurse just had a good poke about and then sent me on my way. It was fine as all I wanted was to know that the bub was ok but it would have been nice to have had something to take away. Roll on 12 weeks!!

OMG in just two months time we will have the first of our frolicker babies!!! I really hope Trying comes back to tell us all about it - she did pop in to this thread but hasn't been back for ages. Exciting!

Hi everyone.

Hermya - glad to hear you got your car fixed up like that - that was great. Very scary about the spotting though - glad it seems to be okay now though.

I do intend to complain about having been given those tablets, but didn't want to just speak to a midwife. I'll wait for the consultant (who I'll be seeing next week) and I'll hopefully cause more waves by doing it that way!

Fullham - I'm glad to hear you've got that meeting set up with HR, and that you're feeling better. Your boss does indeed seem like a complete prize bitch and she'll completely deserve what's coming to her...

My bosses at work have just been so lovely. I'm really grateful. I'm off sick today (meaning I've now taken a grand total of 6 days off over the past few weeks, after never having had a day off in my life prior to that - ). Anyway, the manager I spoke to on Saturday, when I first called in sick, told me to forget about work and concentrate on myself. Company policy is I'm meant to phone in each day that I'm off, to keep them updated, but I was told not to phone in at all on Sunday, because whether I was feeling better or not, they didn't want me in till I'd had a proper rest. I was to see how I felt on Monday and let them know then about Tuesday. The manager I spoke to yesterday told me to "prioritise my health and not my shifts", and then when I called in today to say I'd be back tomorrow, she asked me was a 100% sure, and reminded me that I can self-cert for another three days if I feel more rest would be beneficial. How nice is that?! (Or maybe they're just trying to tell me something and I'm not wanted! Lol!) No, but when I'm being treated like that, and you're being treated as you are, Fullham, I just feel so annoyed. Your boss is SO wrong. All bosses should be just as lovely and considerate as mine have been, with no exceptions.

As I said, I'm going back to work tomorrow. Dunno if it is a good or a bad thing. I was sick today, but for some reason, I've worked out warm tea seems to be helping... Luckily, I like it very weak anyway, but I think I'll still be asking DH to pick up some de-caff tea bags on his way home from work, just to be on the safe side. Anyway, if I can keep sucking on sweets (my teeth are going to be rotting in my head!) and keep drinking the tea, I'm hoping that I'll get through tomorrow alright. Fingers crossed! I HATE being off!

Addie - aww... I have such sympathy for you. It's rubbish feeling so rubbish all the time, isn't it?

Where did you get the miscarriage stats from, by the way? I was desperate to know after my 6+5 scan (yours was 7+4, right?) if my risk had reduced, but the sonographer was very evasive... Mind you, with my health condition, I don't suppose normal statistics apply to me, so he was probably right to cover his back...

One thing I was told though, by the consultant when I was in hospital, was that what I'm eating is really quite irrelevant up to the twelve week stage. Because the baby is like a parasite (the midwife told me that too, on the phone!) and even if I'm getting very little goodness, the baby will take it all and as it's so tiny, it needs very little anyway. I was told that for the next couple of weeks, if I want to live off a diet of nothing but choux buns, there'd be no harm done! Obviously I am still trying to be as good as I can, but I'm not worrying as much as I was, which is nice. Previously, I was also worrying about putting on weight, cause I was drinking sugary drinks (advised by midwife to keep my energy up) and pigging on on biscuits, crisps, bread, etc. Normally I put on weight really easily and would NEVER eat so badly. But seemingly throwing up was taking care of the extra calories, and some, as, when I went into hospital, they discovered I'd lost over half a stone in two weeks! So basically, no need to worry about the baby not getting what it needs, and no need to worry (too much) about putting on weight either! One less thing to feel guilty about (for now!)

Fullham - I wouldn't say I'm any worse than you were (or anyone else was) - you're probably just a lot better at handling it! Lol!

Pixie - I know, isn't that exciting?! Aww, that's a pity you didn't get a picture... Did you ask? My scan was just a spur of the moment check-up, cause I was in hospital, and I wasn't going to get a picture, but I asked and I was given two! (Not that there's much to see, mind you!)

Hi all, DP felt the baby kick on Sun night too, he had his hand on my tummy and after about 20 mins there were 2 strong kicks! He was amazed, I think it made it feel more real for him.

Only a week til my 20 week scan now! I really hope they can tell if its a boy/girl, and of course absolutely praying baby is healthy, fingers crossed.

Evening all!! Well thank goodness I have a day off tomorrow. I'm so so tired, I nearly cried at work today because I felt so crap. What was I thinking, now that I'm preggers I feel that adopting a tribe of kids aka Angelina Jolie is starting to look attractive. My DH is so lovely, he bought me takeaway pizza for tea. I've eaten quite a lot of it and I now feel very very full. It was worth it though.

How is everyone else?

White I took my car to the garage this morning and went back to get it and they told me it needed some more work, as the problem was worse than they actually thought. They told me they'd get back to me with a price. I'm glad you seem to have found a solution to your sickness problems. Complain away to your consultant and create ways, sometimes its the only way to get things noted. I hope you get a bit of an explanation from your consultant at their complete lack of brains.

Addie Oh thats so so cool, I'm really pleased for you. You got to look at your egg!! Crunchy nut cornflakes are the BEST thing in the world. I love them.

Pixie Well I hope you get lots of piccys at your next scan.

Fulham You should take her to a tribunal, if she already has three grievences then she obviously hasn't learnt her lessons. I'm all for people being given a second chance, but it does reach a point when you have to act, It seems unfair that it is you that has to do this, but she has been very unfair to you. Plus it speaks of her character when she reacts like that when someone is seriously ill. You're welcome for the advice though, I hate it when people get treated like you've been. It's just not right. How is your bump? It must be so exciting to be nearing the end.

Fudge How exciting? I've got my booking appointment next week, I'm really excited!!

addie im glad the scan went ok and that you have some pics of the LO ? im thinking of going for a private scan at about 9 weeks just to see how things are getting on in there, 12 weeks just seems soooo long to wait

roses your work sound so nice ? take it easy if you go in tomorrow, ok?

hermya enjoy your day off tomorrow . I got hit by a wave of tiredness at work today, if i had put my head on the desk im sure i would have dozed off

not much else to report ? i still have no more symptoms other that achey boobs and todays tiredness. I am half tempted to do another test just to make sure i didn?t imagine the last two It is starting to sink in now for both myself and DP ? he is being so sweet, I went upstairs to have a bath last night and as i was going up he shouted ?not too hot remember? after me.

Morning guys

white-lol trust me I wasnt as bad as u, u sound like your having a really tough time of the sickness!! Its just a constant hungover feeling without the benifits of getting drunk the night before lol.
Aww your boss sounds lovely which I had one like that!!
I think your risks go down by where the placenta is and if its all clear around the womb!! Thats what happened to me when I went in for my emergency scan the risk of miscarriage was really low because of how high or low the placenta was and the surroundings of the tummy. I did manage to get scan pics and she was a blob just then !! Bless her.
U make sure u rest up though hun if hun if your feeling ill at work tomorrow and if u do just take some more time off they sound so understanding!! You havent got long now until your out of your yucky zone as I call it.

desperate - Hey hun I know its amazing ay. Trust me though they get stronger and more uncomfortable especailly if u lay on your left side. She is kicking me now she dose not stop which u will find as the weeks go on. I think I had to move in more then 10 different positions last night just to get comfy lol!!
Wont be long until your scan its the best one out of the 2 really my and my DH got so emotional and so did the 2 nans aswell.
U defo wanna find out? Have you thought of any names yet?

her- aww hun u rest up as well weve all been there its not nice and unfortunatly some people suffer so much worse than others !!! Sleep and watch crappy daytime tc box of choc's and get hubby to pamper u!! !!

I know trying for is due in around 8 weeks I think!! OMG I cant believe it!! I hope she does post soon. Can anyone work out her due date from her BFP? Im guessing around 18th April?

xxxxxx

Fudge To be honest I'm thinking of getting a private scan as well if only for my own piece of mind. I've found places that do them for about £65 which to me seems such a small price to pay to have that reassurance. I probably would wait until the 12 weeks, but my DH is getting a bit anxious as well so I think it would help him as well.

Fulham I am fully glued to my sofa and intend to stay here apart from one small trip out after lunch. I don't intend to move at all.

Miscarriage stats are from Dorking kindersly "your pregnancy week by week" book. According to that, at 6 weeks pregnant your risk is 15%. If you have a heartbeat on a scan at 8 weeks your risk is 3%. If all still looks ok at 12 week scan your risk drops to 1%.
Between 6 weeks and 8 weeks your MC risk is dropping by close to 1% a day. The drop off between 8 weeks and 12 weeks is much smaller. Its weird that the 12 weeks scan seems to have become the holy grail in everyone's eyes, because actually, it seems like the its the first 8 weeks rather than the first 12 weeks that are the real danger area.

Hi All,

fulham glad you are taking your boss to HR she seems truly evil! Karma will get her one day. Just make sure you are taking care of yourself - dont get worn out.

addie thanks for the stats...feels good to be close to the 8 week milestone. Hope you are feeling better

hermya if i am ever in a fight i would love to have you in my corner...knuckle flexing and all;) great advice for fulham....people like that really piss me off.
Hope you are at home with your feet up.

white hope you are feeling better, good that the tea is working. fingers crossed that you will not be visiting the hospital anytime soon.
I know how you feel about your work - I told my boss this week. I felt i had to because i had to take time off for GP, dentist and scan etc recently. So rather than him thinking i was going for an interview or something, I told him. Seriously he was so excited, he just jumped up and hugged me. I think he was the most excited person i have told in person so far (cant judge being told by phone). He told me to concentrate on my health, and make sure not to stress about work (I manage about 75 people so it can be pretty stressful)...its just a job at the end of the day. I was gob smacked. He is happy for me to go to australia on maternity leave, mentioned that he will look into to my MP to see if he can increase it! Lucky i was sitting down.
I went to a first aid course today, and instead of going back to the office when it finished he said go home and rest...so i am

Boobs have started to grow like mad again, cant remember if i posted that i bought new bras last weekend...M&S had good cheap non-underwire t-shirt bras i am living in them at the moment.
Dodgy tummy is still around - i think i got lumbered with that instead of MS...think i got out of it easy.

hope that you are all feeling better xxxx

Chance - thanks for the M+S tip, I will check out those bras. My boobs were already pretty huge to begin with, they will be taking over the world by the end of this pg! - thats a big boob emoticon!!

Addie - those stats are really reassuring. Sometimes on here it seems like the risk is enormous - you hear so many horribly sad stories. But I guess people need to talk more when it all goes wrong than when everything is just ticking along, and thats why we hear so much about it. As for the 12 week obsession, its the thought of seeing the little prawn on-screen rather than the date I think - so if they routinely scanned at 10 weeks that would suddenly become the holy grail!

Fulham - Hoping posted on this thread back in January to say that her due date is the 25th April. I will be keeping an eye out for her!

Desperate - aww, your DP must have been so thrilled. I totally can't wait until I feel some movement - but a very long way to go yet!!

Doctors on Friday for me for a routine check up and to get into "the system". Have some interesting symptoms to share with him - in addition to the MS I also have blleding gums and a bleedy nose. Blood vessels are obviously swelling up all over, which I guess is a good thing in terms of my uterus, but it does make my bathroom look like a bit of a massacre zone in the mornings!! Yuck!

pixie yeah DP was so pleased to feel it, he felt it again last night when we were lying in bed and he kept saying "come on, kick for daddy!" awww so sweet!
How far gone are you now??

Evening all!! How is everybody? I've had a sofa day today and it has been fab. I've worked my way through a box set and a couple of movies. I so needed this, I've been so tired and felt so rubbish this week.

My DH and I have been discussing car issues this week, so far we've gone round in circles a little bit. Ah well we'll get there in the end.

Addie Thanks for the stats!

Pixie I bet your bathroom gives your other half a bit of a shock when he walks there in the mornings. I'm sorry you've been having nose bleeds though, I think it does occur in some women though. I thinks it to do with the extra blood pumping through your system.

Chance Your boss sounds lovely, I wish mine were like that. They have been so lovely though and really supportive but I wish they would let me take some annual leave. It's not their fault, they can only have so many people off at one time unfortunately. If you ever need help, give me a shout I'll help fight your corner.

Desperate Your LO is kicking, how cool is that!!!

Morning guys. !!

pix-my gums have been awful and still are they are sore and bleed everytime I brush my teeth not a nice feeling!! I havent had that many nose bleeds but my gums started playing up around 12 weeks and have not let off since then !! Dentist said nothing I cant do really other than brush teeth very gently twice a day and ice helps as well but im not to good sucking on an ice cube in this weather so I found the best alternitive crunchie ice cream !! .
Defo discuss it with your doctor though but unfortunalty there is nothing they can do.
Other than that how u feeling hun?

des- Yea feeling the baby kick is the most lovely feeling in the world. Im panicking myself a little bit today I havent felt her kick at all since 3 this morning I know I shouldnt get worked up but when your so used to her kicking u 24/7 when u dont feel anything I go into panick mode. She is so active im scared she is going to get caught in the cord or something. U dont ever stop worrying though ay from when u fall up until they get old lol.
I will be posting with a big when she starts to kick today as im so worried.

chance- heya hun so nice to hear from u. OMG I want your boss he sounds the most lovely person ever compared to mine. If I have an appointment they make me come in before or after it get so tired and also I had to have some pyhsio on my back in January and she never payed me for it. She is just nasty im so used to it now.

However I found out yesterday by a college that they thought they could get me out by mid March. YEP seriously. Her friend had a job interview to work here around 3 weeks ago. Anyway there is there is only one space at the minute for someone new as somebpdy left on Friday. I though it was weired that she was interviewing for two jobs I later found out. Anyway one girl got the job and is working on Ground floor reception which is where im based, ive been moved into a switchboard to cover holiday. But as from mid march all holidays are finished so where are they going to put me???
This girl should of been place on 10th floor reception where the placement should have been filled.
This other girl who also went for an interview e-mailed her friend yesterday and asked why she had heared nothing back. My managers responce was.........I thought we were going to be getting rid of a pregnant girl in 2 weeks but she has decided to stay. The job is yours but she is now assisting she is not going to leave in mid April. If me and her deputy line manager can we will try and convice her to leave earlier so you can start. Sorry for the inconvience called but we really did think she was going to leave sooner rather than later. So their u go in a nutshell really they were trying to push me out so they could employe and new memeber of staff. They are stuffed now because they have nowhere to put me but I have to go somewhere. so glad its backfired in their faces hahaha!!
Please let me have your boss lol!!

As for the bra's OMG I was a 34 d ive not gone upto a 36 G they are massive I cant believe it and they are still growing. Im not a big girl anyway im only 5ft4 and weighed around 9stone before I fell preggers. 27 weeks later I weigh 10st 2 with a 36 G bra which my boobies now rest on my tummy lol. I have swollen ankles bleeding gums pressure sores on my bottom and swollen hands and my DP still finds me attractive lmao!! Bridget Jones has nothing on me haha!! On a massive plus note though I have no stretch marks and im really big ive been using coco butter not every night though so im really suprised.

Hey addie-thanks for them stats I didnt know that. We do all worry for them first 12 weeks its so hard. So by 8 weeks then u are really quite safe. !! Thats good news to all really as most of us now are hitting the 8 week stage or passed it. !!
My friend is 6 weeks pregnant today and I have to kinda keep reasuring her everything will be ok I supose because u cant do anything to check its mentally fustraing. I used to say to my mum if I only they event scanners so we can check that their ok everyday.

fudge- I would get a private scan as well. I was going to if it wasnt for the fact I got taken to hospital and given one at 8 weeks. I had a private scan arranged for 9 weeks but then cancelled.

her- So glad u rested hun and had a lovely day off . Did it make u feel any better? Thank u again for the advice on my boss really did help I would love to have u fight my corner lol!!
We are having car issues as well. I think me and my mum are going to swap cars but she needs a big car as well as nanny's always want to take their grandchild shopping. We really need to pull our finger out now we have a 3 door car which u cant really fit anyone into the back and we havent even started the nursery yet . I think all the stress at work has put everything on hold. Time for a slap around the face now I think as I only have 13 weeks left.

I really hope trying comes back in for a visit she dont have long at all. Be so nice when we all start our new thread and we are exchanging stories about teething and feeding lol. I cant wait and I will be keeping an eye on everyone on here. I wont tell u how the labour went though I promise no stories lol.
Just cant beleive when we started this thread the first person who fell is about to fall. Time goes so quickly.

Evening all!! How are you all? I managed to go swimming today and it was really nice apart from the two old guys who kept tutting at me as I swam past them. I had no idea what their problems were. I'm obviously not training to swim the channel, but the pool was huge and I was in the blinking middle trying to keep as far away from them as possible. Some people, I know it's a bit mean but it made me feel better that my dye job was better than his.

On sympton watch, my hips are killing at the moment and my back is not so hot either. I'm still really tired as well. But, I think thats because I've relaxed and it's all hit me at once.

Fudge Yeah it was lovely, I've been looking on Kiddicare.com as well. I'm getting excited. I looked on websites before I got pg, so I don't think it's too bad.

Fulham You're more than welcome, plus I think if you took what you've got to a tribunal or even a solicitor there would be terrible implications for your bosses. What they're doing is so so wrong. The more I hear the more I want to come to your workplace and slap your boss or at the very least tell her off in a digified manner. My friend was telling me about her car issues today, apparently hers is leaking water and the temp gage has a fit everytime she takes it out. At least mine goes. Poor thing.
