Due January - anyone else?

[Onekidnoclue]

Just got my BFP after six bloody long months of trying. Thrilled but a bit weirded out! Anyone in the same boat?

Poor you @Lauraha85 - are doctors able to give you anti sickness tablets? I really don't know how you manage it, I've had a lucky escape but have piled on the pounds as a result!
Not sure which one is better!

Due 3/1/21 first baby for me !

If anyone is using reusable nappies or want to try them once you have your mattb1 form you can order £100 worth for free from your local council a friend told me today.

@Dia12- you are soooo lucky you don't have sickness , I can honestly say I think I would prefer to eat and put weight on lol - I just can't bare the thought of eating anything, I am so ready to get my appetite back.

@Goldings28 wcome to the due in Jan club , I'm due 18th. How are you feeling ?

Hi had a good past couple of weeks no nausea but then feel rough as hell the past few days !!

@lauraha85 I'm the same, my sickness has become worse, can't eat anything now without being sick after, I'm ready to enjoy nice food again but at min struggling with plain toast or plain biscuits 😭 x

@angelascott mine has got worse too and my sense of smell is so heightened I can sniff anything out which makes me want to vomit 🤢
I really hope it gives us a break soon 🙏

Yeah I'm same @lauraha85 I can smell anything and that's it I'm sick... Living with my fiance and my two Foster boys means there is always funny smells as well 😂😭🤮

@WhoUsedMyName we use reusable nappies bin our local authority you get one free and the a you can buy a bulk lot for a reduced price. I shall be definitely getting my free one again though

@angelascott I feel for you living with 3 boys - we have a dog my partner has to spray before I come down in the morning cause I just cannot cope with the smell

@lauraha85 yep we have an old dog too who stinks at times as well 🤮 I'm hoping my sickness starts to reduce at 12 weeks xx

@angelascott - let's pray it does - when is your 12 week scan , sorry if you have already told me before #babybrain lol 😆

Not received it yet hopefully will do this week, I have my diabetes glucose test through though for October 😂. We are 10 weeks today (acc to measurements from most recent scan on Saturday) x

I’m ten weeks tomorrow. I fetched for the second time today.. was awful and made me so grateful I haven’t been sick yet. Booking a private scan for next week as our hospital is not changing the line scan appointments yet 😢

I'm going to tell my boss today. I've got a Skype meeting with him at 3pm.

Has anyone else told work yet?

@Opelbow I have told work - my manager was lovely I was so worried as I have only just recently joined the team

I’m not telling work until I really have to. Dreading the reaction
I’m hoping I can get to the last possible day before I have to fess up!

I had to tell my boss last week as they were recalling me from furlough and our company is keeping pregnant women at home so had to tell her.

Yeah I told mine as they monitor everything and query when computer goes inactive no good when your sick all the time x

Ah! I think I’m lucky.
I’m not monitored that closely, provided I can get stuff done it’s ok.
Having said that they’re hideously sexist and I’ll definitely get left off good projects when they find out so it’s swings and roundabouts!

@Tink2020 does that mean you’re still on furlough? Will that impact mat pay?

I'm quite nervous about telling as I work in engineering. I'm don't know if my boss as ever has this conversation. Up until 2 months a go I was the only female in the team.

I've look through all the HR intranet pages it doesn't mention pregnancy at all.

At least working from home as made it easy to hide. I'm only telling him now as soon I will want to tell my friends at work. It's the kinda of place where news travels. So he needs to hear it from me first.

@Onekidnoclue I am Still on Furlough until the company decide it’s safe enough for me and another pregnant colleague to go back. It’s the same for mums with school children too. They said it shouldn’t affect our maternity pay as we are still employed by the company and accruing holidays and benefits

@Onekidnoclue my work monitors everything it's ridiculous. Even when you do more work than what's expected they still pick at everything and tar everyone with the same brush... Part of reason why I'm on sick leave x

When I told my boss she asked if I had thought about leaving 🙄

@Opelbow if there is women in the company then there should be a pregnancy at work policy- I would call HR and ask them to send you a copy , they have to keep your confidentiality so won't say anything - just so you know your f
