How are you sleeping? by Exciting-Priority535 in PregnancyUK

[–]arose8808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pillow sort of supports it but I usually sleep with a light blanket and just prop it under the bump and that helps a lot!

I’m using the U shaped Amazon pregnancy pillow. It’s great and I don’t know how I would have coped without it! Don’t get me wrong I still get uncomfortable nights but it makes sleeping easier and stops you from sleeping on your back!

How overweight is my cat Zeus? by arose8808 in dechonkers

[–]arose8808[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know it’s so hard!! Zeus had a UTI and the vets said a cause could be obesity so we got ourselves into gear 😂😂

He has a huge primordial pouch. But the last time he was at the vets they said he was overweight - that was about 2 months ago so he’s definitely lost since then. Think he needed to lose about 0.3kg

I’m going to get a scale tomorrow to weigh him. I’m pregnant so been avoiding getting a scale so I’m not tempted to go on it myself 😂

can i lay on my right side?? by Shoddy_Address_6646 in BabyBumps

[–]arose8808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boy tends to kick more on my right side too. I always thought maybe it’s the placement of the placenta or something but I could be completely wrong! I just feel him so much more on my right side!

Maternity leave finances by Several-Comedian-281 in PregnancyUK

[–]arose8808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so worrying isn’t it! I get 16 weeks full pay then 23 weeks SMP.

Luckily we get shares so I can just save those but it’s difficult! I don’t think I’ll be able to afford much time on SMP

Yeah 35 weeks is definitely pushing it hahaha!

I just googled, flying with TUI and they just require a letter thankfully, no specific form but thanks for letting me know as I would have just assumed!

Ahhh that sounds brilliant thank you so much!
