So we’ve been TTC baby #2 for 5 months. Had a positive test in April that sadly ended in a chemical pregnancy. So this is cycle 3 since then and got a very faint positive on an internet cheapie last night at 9dpo. I went out and bout a CB digital today and have got my BFP confirmed today on it 😊
My EDD is 4th April 2025 going from LMP and cycle length.
I’m aware it’s very early days and anything can happen that’s why I’ve decided not to tell anyone I know until after my period is due which is Friday. Just can’t keep it to myself and would love for others to join and talk to who have recently found out they are expecting in April 2025!

Yes this is how it works and also why I don’t be splitting with my husband as he earns a lot more than I do. I have worked with someone who took over from his partner to do the last 6 weeks so I know people do use it but I think it’s only really a viable option if you and your partner are on a similar salary or if you earn more.

I’ve been at the same company for over 8 years and never really looked into the maternity package but I won’t be getting a very good deal. 2 months full pay, 1 month at half pay and then down to statutory. It really is awful for women!

Thank you. Yes mat pay and benefits seem to vary so much. Mine is similar to yours, yet I know some workplaces that give you 6 months full pay. I wish I'd been more aware of this kind of thing when career changing(!) The disparity is massive.
Having said that, we should all be very glad not to be living in America, it could be so much worse.

@Whenyoupickapawpaw I’m not sure if it will actually benefit us but I’m looking into it!

@Oxforddictionary12 Your partner doesn’t have to split the leave with you. SPL means you can take your leave in chunks, for me as a teacher this means I should be able to return to work and then resume leave later. But with an April birth I’m not sure it’ll benefit us. Need to do some further digging!

Thank you- I didn't know that you could take blocks of leave with just yourself. I hope you're able to negotiate something good around the summer hols at least- you've earned it!

I’ve had a week off on holiday and gone back to 183 emails. My staff unfortunately just can’t do my job. So I’m prepared that I will have to go back after a week, two at the most if I can do some work at home. My partner is going to be stay at home Dad. It makes me really sad, but our lifestyle is reliant on me. I’m very grateful for the position I’m in, but I’d love a few months off to recover and bond with baby.

I’m almost 15 weeks and same, I don’t feel pregnant. The awful nausea has settled, no crazy hormones, no proper cravings, basically the only thing that’s changed is I have the beginnings of a bump. I keep wondering if I made it all up 😅

Lowkeyloopy · 22/10/2024 09:32

Came on here to ask anyone if they also don’t really feel pregnant anymore and I’m relieved to see others are feeling the same way! Even though I know I felt this way with my DS, it’s still really hard to believe there is a tiny baby in there, probably kicking away now. I do have a slight paunch.. but first thing in the morning when my stomach looks and feels quite flat I convince myself it’s not there anymore. I’m still under the care of the early pregnancy unit until 16 weeks because of previous losses, so might ask them for a scan to ease anxiety. Will just feel bad wasting their time!

Allswellthatendswelll · 22/10/2024 14:13

I still feel really sick. 15 weeks today! Keep convincing myself I feel movements but could just be indigestion.

I’m 15 weeks tomorrow and I’m convinced I can feel movements! It’s only when I’m quiet and still and can focus though, it almost feels a bit like a fish under water but it could just be gas! I don’t know if I would feel movements as a first time mum yet

The FB group has been archived as apparently it has no admin! Anyone know how to fix that?

Hi everyone! Late to the party but I’d love to join this group. We’re due 23rd April with our second baby. Haven’t found out the sex yet but we’re doing an early anatomy scan on the 11th so will probably know then, eep!

Redt2s · 01/11/2024 12:38

Also late to the group! Due 23/4/25 (I’m pretty chuffed about this date if I’m honest) finding out what flavour this weekend ❤️

Thisismyusernameee · 01/11/2024 13:29

Hi all! It’s lovely to see lots of messages and people feeling the same here, I only just had an email from Mumsnet and realised that people has been posting!

I’m 14 weeks, feeling sick had been gone for about a week and a half and today I’m feeling rough! Weird! But had been also feeling like it wasn’t real when I was feeling too good - guess here’s reassurance 🤢

Please may I get the link to the Facebook page too?

Pinkieblue24 · 01/11/2024 14:13

Hey guys! I am 15 weeks today & due 25/4/25. Sickness has calmed down although I am still vomiting first thing on a morning🤢 i have been suffering from headaches quite a bit the past 2 weeks. Eating& sleeping fine & drinking plenty of water but my head just constantly hurts, anyone else experienced this? We are still deciding whether to find out gender as my partner wants to but I am in 2 minds! I dont think I can feel any movements yet however have had some rumbles & gas like feeling which makes me question if that is it lol x
