My OH is self employed so if he's not working, he's not earning! We can't manage without his money coming in, although I'm hoping he'll perhaps take on a little less work when the time comes. It's impossible to plan ahead with his work, it's why we haven't had a holiday for years :wall2:

Legally, you can't be discriminated against for being pregnant - that includes having any time off for sickness as a reason for disciplinary action. You are also legally entitled to paid time off to attend any appointments relating to your pregnancy, so they can't say anything to you about that...

It does sound a little on the high side, but it's the bottom figure they worry about most, I was told that as long as that's less than 100 then they won't intervene. The highest mine got to before being medicated was 196/117. I think as long as you're being monitored well (and it sounds like...

Just thought I'd bring this thread back to life in case it's relevant to anyone, I'm still on labetalol and had my first consultant app last week. Gold star for my bp lol, 112/70 :) I don't have to go back until October! :yay:

I've got the mamas and papas 03 sport, it's great off road and would be fine for a newborn with a car seat http://www.mamasandpapas.com/product-03-sport-pushchair-blackred/1002f3000/type-i/ It does say suitable for newborn but I think the seat is too wide and shallow for a new baby without the...

Helloo, I'm due 13th January, team yellow all the way, with 20wk scan on 29th August :) x

We moved LO when he was 10 weeks old and he definitely started sleeping more soundly because when he was with us we were disturbing his sleep. So no, I don't regret it. The monitor allowed me to check on him whenever I wanted and I was still able to tend to him straight away when he needed me.

A) yes B) no X

Poor poppet :( They can get pain before the teeth actually appear, so it could be that. I take it he doesn't have reflux or anything?

LO was 19 weeks old when mine came back, I was still ebf at the time, I felt well cheated!

I think you've just got to bite the bullet and tell them hon! They might flip, but ultimately you're carrying their grandchild, so I'm sure they will come round. As for the dad not being able to see you, surely that's his decision!

We tried everything but what helped the most was a clean flannel, soaked in cold water and left in the fridge to cool. LO loved getting his gums around that, you should give it a go :)

I wouldn't worry too much, not being able to communicate your wants and needs must be very frustrating - might explain the temper? My son is 2 next month and although he tries his best he can't form full words yet, although he understands everything I say. Every child develops at their own...

You will produce as much milk as your baby needs, don't worry - when your breasts settle, they don't 'feel' full, so even if you think here isn't any, baby will still get what they need :)

:yay:
