Hi I'm 6 days late and am normally very regular! I have very sensitive and enlarged breasts but keep getting really bad cramps in my tummy. (I don't normally get any pain with periods just a bit of bloating and uncomfort) I think I'm going to get a cheap test today just wandered what people's thoughts were! Can anyone help?

Ah I know, I sat in work today feel so crap! I blamed it on time of month tho! Yes maybe tell them or something or say about medication or not feeling well xx

I think I've just got to be honest! I won't say anything till I've seen the midwife tho! So hopefully it all goes well

Is your party after you've seen the midwife then?

Mine is tomorrow and my appointment is next Friday :( I'm using the whole water infection and on antibiotics thing x

Jenny1997 · 01/12/2016 20:48

Yeah it's not till the 16th and my appointment is Tuesday! So excited! Although starting to think I'm further on than I thought! My boobs have gone up a cup size (was only an A before so not a huge difference) I look like I've had a huge meal!

Awk Hun, it's tough, I cried to my boss and I think he felt sorry for me lol! I was a wreck and sore and uncomfy, I'm bloated so looking bigger too!! You need to snuggle up with a movie and chocolate ;) lol xx

It's killing me! Work don't know I'm pregnant and we only get 5 sick days a year and I fear I may need them further down the line having already taken 2 with food poisoning earlier in the year!
My boyfriend is out sat night so looking forward to a night in with the dogs designing the nursery! Friends are taking us shopping tomorrow in the day but boyfriend won't let me buy anything! 😔 Just want to meet the little baba xx

If you have sick days while you are pregnant they can't legally touch you! So don't worry about having sick days. Get a note from the doctor if need be x

Jenny1997 · 02/12/2016 12:44

I just won't get full pay I'd get statutory which is really low! It sucks never know an employer do that

SarahS2404 · 02/12/2016 13:41

Well yeah I suppose :/ x

Jenny1997 · 02/12/2016 13:49

With low income as it is being a trainee accountant I can't afford to reduce my wage anymore. Not with lots to buy for baby! I'm hoping once I've told my parents and seen midwife I should relax a little more!
I'm going to have to buy bigger bras and clothes at the weekend tho! My boobs are popping out 🙈 And my trousers are digging in my belly!

OP posts:
SarahS2404 · 02/12/2016 17:51

I know the feeling with the low income!
Yeah I think I might have to do the same with the bras! Mine are getting there!x

Jenny1997 · 02/12/2016 18:21

It's so annoying we earn too much to claim a number of the benefits! But it's worth looking into we're going to try claim something as you can get a £500 grant when you hit 12 weeks!

It's ao tough but maybe with pregnancy it's different with sick days! Ahh girls I already bought bigger bras - send hubby today as I was bursting out! I have been so unwell today:( xx
