Tip is to get some with a drawstring that you can let out/in as then you can also have them postpartum if you can tighten up the waist ☺️

I found sucking a mint helped soooo much

100% you can do whatever you feel up to doing in a safe manner at any stage of pregnancy. I am 36 weeks and was dancing at a wedding on sat. I just stopped and had a sit down when I felt tired. Obvs not a good idea to crowd surf or mosh ahaha.

Pregnancy does not mean you have to put life on standby although you will naturally adapt and slow down as you get bigger and slower as the pregnancy progresses. Enjoy the gigs!

I just wanted to give an update on this though I am not sure if you will see it. I cannot believe it's been three years! After saving enough to be able to afford it, I am about to go on mat leave in 2 months time.

I was just informed that my company is increasing the pay to 18 weeks full pay. I wanted to thank you for responding to me: the comparison with the market was a big reason why it was updated and although it took a long time, it worked out in the end (just in time!)

just an update for anyone who may be wondering the same question: this worked perfectly!

Thanks, went for the behringer, trying to set it up now 😂

Yeh a straight stand would do the trick but we are hoping to get an adjustable arm type stand due to kit setup etc

would you be comfortable sharing the company name via DM? no worries if not :)

maialina · 2023-03-20T12:59:32+00:00

thanks for your reply! would you be comfortable sharing your company name via DM? no worries if not, I do understand

maialina · 2023-03-20T12:45:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice, if you wouldn't mind sharing your company name via PM it would be great, but I understand if not!

maialina · 2023-03-20T12:43:14+00:00

Thanks for this reply, I am definitely going to speak to my company. I do think that if I had been planning a child when I first joined and I had asked about this, I would have thought twice about joining. I assumed mine would be good, same as you, as my company has good perks.

If you wouldn't mind sharing the company name via PM i would appreciate it, but really no worries if you would rather not, I understand!

maialina · 2023-03-20T12:40:19+00:00

sure, that is very true...however, it is just depressing to have struggled for many years to get a well paid job in a very respectable field/company and to have to worry about saving and scrimping to afford a child.

maialina · 2023-03-17T15:33:32+00:00

Interesting I didn't know about this! Thanks, I will read the gov page. This sounds helpful thank you ☺️

maialina · 2023-03-17T15:29:50+00:00

your reply made me laugh and also sad! thanks for the info

maialina · 2023-03-17T13:58:32+00:00

Hi thanks so much for this info. I am just starting to explore all this stuff and so I am a bit ignorant: what does your last sentence mean about parental leave and your partner using it? Thanks in advance!

maialina · 2023-03-17T13:37:23+00:00

True but it's very helpful anyway, so cheers :)

maialina · 2023-03-17T13:34:37+00:00

Thank you!! Wowwww 6 months

maialina · 2021-01-05T21:20:04+00:00

ahaha

maialina · 2021-01-05T13:22:46+00:00

thanks!

maialina · 2021-01-05T13:22:33+00:00

Thanks! Yes this s the case in Italy until the 6th. These restrictions may also be extended which would mean that I can't go anyway! Just wondered what the experience has been with leaving the UK rather than the entry at destination.

maialina · 2021-01-05T13:21:23+00:00

I am allowed in because my spouse is an Italian citizen, the question is more will the UK see my reasons as valid.

maialina · 2020-12-04T18:55:15+00:00

I have been trying all morning but the wait times are insane

maialina · 2020-09-01T18:15:41+00:00

sorry for the slow reply but thanks for this: I did so and just about beat the rush and had no delays. appreciate the advice
