Here's the updated list. I never in a million years thought I'd be in big pants!

Not stopping I feel like crap, had a massive migraine yesterday so still getting over the hangover headache. Been feeling faint today and generally bleurgh.

Wedding is this weekend, so bump pics may follow!

CloudOfStarlings · 16/05/2013 08:01

Gorgeous bump 4ever!! You look amazing :)
moon hope you feel lots better for the weekend!

moonmrs · 16/05/2013 18:45

Your bump is lovely 4ever I am very jealous, mine still looks like I ate all the pies Hmm My boobs, hips and bum all seem to be joining in with the growth, so I just feel like a big fat wobbly whale all over.

My headache is slowly getting better, but I seem to be developing new aches and pains daily, my joints in my hands and wrists are now clicky along with my back, and I'm getting cramp in my feet in all the time Hmm But like 4ever said, I wouldn't change it for the world, it just doesn't all feel like I thought it would and actually I hate being pregnant although I wouldn't tell anyone but you girls that. I feel rubbish all the time, I thought by now I was supposed to be blooming!

Dh still has no job, although I think I said he has started up his own business, but nothing is coming in yet. I don't know what we'll do, I wanted to take 9 months off work, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to. I'm wondering if we'd be eligible for any benefits, or if because dh is 'working' and I'd be on maternity leave we wouldn't qualify. Worried about it all.

Anyway not sure where all that came from, think I'm just having a crap week. Looking forward to the wedding so we can relax and enjoy ourselves.

Big waves to everyone Smile

Neeko · 16/05/2013 21:11

Moon have a hug. It's really hard when our reality isn't quite as shiny as our dreams > sometimes the baby/child drives you completely bonkers with their naughtiness too! Wink
Try tonic water for the cramps and don't beat yourself up over the lack of "bloom". Fwiw I didn't bloom either time - I looked more like a burst couch! Grin Grin

As for the mat leave, try not to worry about it too much. Work as far on as you can to maximise your time after and see hoew it goes. You don't need to let work know straight away when you'll return and you can change the date. These things have a habit of sorting themselves out.

Hello to everyone else.

Rumours · 17/05/2013 08:08

Lovely bump pics 4ever

moon pop along to CAB to see if they can give you any info on benefits for your situation, also look at the gov.uk website, there's lots of infoation on there too. Enjoy your wedding Smile

Hi neeks Smile

CloudOfStarlings · 17/05/2013 08:39

Yes moon I was going to say call tax office/dwp I'm sure you will be entitled to something. Hopefully money will start to come in from dh's business soon too. Really feel for you, you've waited so long for this & now you're in pain & worrying :( I found out I was pregnant with ds1 the day after dh was made redundant.. all the worrying was awful, but as neeko said, it sorted itself out.. and even though this doesn't help now, I promise that little bundle will eclipse all this :)

moonmrs · 17/05/2013 19:32

Thanks girls Smile I really have just had a crap week, feeling a bit more positive now the weekend is here. Have been sat painting my toenails ready for tomorrow - now how do you manage this when the bump gets bigger as I'm struggling atm!

Will look into the benefits, I'm sure there must be some sort of help for us, although like you've all said, things always turn out for the best, you just cant always see how you're gonna get there and you get a bit of a bumpy ride along the way. I do plan to work as long as I possibly can, I have a desk job so I'm hoping it will be feasible to do so. My boss has already said I can work from home in the later stages if it helps. I'm not taking any holiday days and am saving those up to take before I start my official maternity leave. It will all be ok, thank you for the reassurances. And the most important thing is our little miracle boy, and I don't care how we get there, but we will, and he will be the best thing to happen to me and my dh.

Happy weekends to you all Smile

littlebellsmum · 18/05/2013 08:31

moon - I only had a short mat leave with all of mine due to finances. it was fine - made going back to work easier ad it wasn't a choice. also worked up to 37/38 weeks with all of them - again was fine.
