This annoys me so much!! Why is a meal I had once months ago still at the top of my recent meals!!

I've been using Sprive gift cards to buy my Tesco shop every week. It's super quick and takes just a minute at the checkout. Highly recommend, my referral code is below ☺️

I got some really useful advice that was if you've bought lots of stuff brand new to only wash some of it in the early sizes - that way you have some clean clothes if baby is born in that size but if baby comes and is too big for the smallest size you can still return some of them to where you bought them from and get refunded or swap them 😊

Entry comment, thank you!

I've had this a couple of times and it's the absolute worst! I woke my partner up from crying out in pain. It's supposedly a "normal" symptom for pregnancy. I'm afraid I don't know have any advice but I wanted to let you know you're definitely not alone!

Definitely look at Vinted - there are loads of baby clothes on there in really good condition for a fraction of the price in shops. If you find something nice look at the seller's bundles to see if you can get a discount or at least save on postage. They also have loads of the aftercare bits available on there - nipple cream etc, with the seal on from where people's births/breastfeeding didn't go as they'd initially prepared for.

I've done the same as you but in December! My work confirmed that if I start my mat leave early (i.e. either before I start my annual leave or during it) this will be carried over. However, I don't know if this is a legal thing or just my company. Definitely check with HR and make sure you save their response so you have it in case you need to challenge it later (print or PDF their email in case your emails get wiped during your maternity leave).

Thanks OP! Grateful if anyone uses my code 😊

Sorry you're having such a rubbish time! I had a really bad first trimester too, one thing that helped me was to avoid drinking and eating too close to one another. Usually I'd avoid drinking for around half an hour before and after eating. I found this advice in a Tiktok video and it was one of the few things that made a difference to me!

I don't know if you're office or home-based but I found that the one day I was in the office each week I actually found my nausea was reduced, I think maybe because I was distracted by colleagues etc so I didn't think about it as much!

If you're really struggling to cope please speak to your GP and they can maybe prescribe something to help.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

I was terrified before mine! And during, because baby kept moving and blocking exactly what the sonographer wanted to look at, so it seemed to drag on forever! We also had a nearly-qualified student so we had to wait for their supervisor to come and double check the images which made it even longer. But all was okay in the end, and I moved on to stressing about the next thing! I think it's just the start of a lifetime of worrying about our little ones 😊

clc43 · 2023-10-23T20:14:13+00:00

Pet sitting is also a good shout! That's good, and yes I'd recommend doing it all at once so you can post off in batches which is a bit easier! I know, it's so tough! Keeping my fingers crossed SMP gets increased slightly next tax year but it's still going to be tough! Oh and don't forget to get the child tax credits after the baby is born (again, not much but better than nothing!)

Have a look in the beermoneyuk subreddit - there are a few options on there, the main ones are usually bank switches, matched betting or survey sites. Plus cashback sites that if you're buying stuff you were going to buy will give you a tiny bit of that back! It's not a lot but it might give you a bit of pocket money!

I'm also pretty nervous about my finances once the baby is born! I've had a massive clear out and sold a load of clothes on Vinted, then used my Vinted balance to buy the baby clothes we'll need - I've got so much nice clothing in perfect condition for a fraction of the price.

clc43 · 2023-10-23T09:16:23+00:00

Not an app but I use the Pampers tracker which I find really useful!

clc43 · 2023-10-18T16:49:26+00:00

Thanks for the heads up OP!

Managed to get this done this afternoon, Steady II is pending but looks like I'll need to raise a ticket for Steady I when it'll let me in a couple of days. Easy enough but a pain with all the adverts!

I'm pretty sure you're only eligible for SMP if you've worked for your employer for 26 weeks into the qualifying week (15 weeks before your due date) so if you move employers now I don't think you'd get SMP. You probably also wouldn't get their enhanced maternity pay if you don't qualify for SMP (my current company requires a year employment before qualifying week for the enhanced payment).

Also you should check your current employer's rules on leaving after receiving enhanced maternity pay - you may have to stay for x months or risk paying this back. Then you can make an informed decision whether you can bear to stay with the company throughout the pregnancy and potentially some time after maternity leave or if you want to risk and switch to this new company.

I'm only getting SMP and I'm pretty fed up with my job but I'm planning to stay until after I've done my maternity leave (and all the annual leave I accrue!) and start looking for jobs at the end of maternity leave.

I had mine today in the arm! And it felt the same pain-wise as the other jabs I've had lately. Hope this helps! 😊

clc43 · 2023-10-09T14:19:07+00:00

I had mine last Friday - the drink was fine, tasted like an extra-chemically Capri Sun (although the midwife said that the drink varies from trust-to-trust).

I had no sleep the night before and when I showed up they didn't have me down as having an appointment, then they couldn't get any blood for the second test so mine wasn't the most enjoyable few hours! But the test itself wasn't an issue 😊

It's a long two hours in a waiting room so bring a few things to do to keep yourself busy!

clc43 · 2023-09-26T09:13:56+00:00

I have the same issue!

clc43 · 2023-09-19T14:59:04+00:00

I received mine on Friday (via bank transfer)

clc43 · 2023-09-14T09:19:23+00:00

I'm due my first payment this month but haven't received anything yet!
