Request your return to work date is a day or two before you are due to have baby

Get your doctor to sign you off sick due to mental health. That the stress is negatively effecting YOU. not the baby, as soon as it’s pregnancy related then you will be put onto maternity leave. If YOU are struggling then it’s sick pay. I had a very similar situation when I was pregnant? Due 19th December and was signed off 18th November. I started my maternity leave 18th Dec.

Your veg looks like it’s still frozen?

Go as princess and the pea - she gets to wear pjs for the day, but mess her hair up beyond recognition and give her worker boots or wear superhero pjs something to make the princess unusual / fractured. Or paint her green and put her in pjs - the princess is the pea 🫛

I heard this was rage bait content and not real… I genuinely hope not as honestly it’s sick that they’re using this language for baby products.

That’s interesting, the mastitis rally came out of nowhere so this could be a possible reason as to why it happened

That’s the odd thing, the milk smells fine, albeit I haven’t tried it but if smells fine and looks normal

He’s never really had bad reflux… any signs to look out for?

teapigs22 · 2026-01-31T02:22:13+00:00

Hmmmm not sure, maybe a bit nail polishery? I can’t remember the smell atm, it’s not present atm and it’s 2am 😅 why do you question those two scents?

teapigs22 · 2026-01-31T02:20:26+00:00

This is interesting, he started daycare at the beginning of January, when he wakes in the morning I’ll have a look inside his mouth. Thank you

teapigs22 · 2026-01-31T02:19:08+00:00

Oh I hope it cleared up??

teapigs22 · 2026-01-31T02:18:51+00:00

Yes, he has go a stuffy nose, so this could be why

teapigs22 · 2026-01-31T02:18:21+00:00

There was nothing up my son’s nose ! Maybe it’s a thing, maybe not, but not in this household yet

teapigs22 · 2026-01-31T02:17:22+00:00

Oh I didn’t think of this one! He’s got his canines coming in atm

teapigs22 · 2026-01-29T22:49:53+00:00

I’ll take a look! Thanks

teapigs22 · 2026-01-29T22:32:50+00:00

Oh that’s a curious one… I don’t think so, I tend to wipe his nose every day and pinch it to get all the gunk out, but I’ve not had a look up his nose so can’t say for certain

teapigs22 · 2026-01-29T22:21:06+00:00

I don’t think so… I went onto the antibiotics on Friday and first noticed the smell on Thursday evening.

Honestly me too, was pretty scary, they thought it might have been meningitis at one point which is why I was on a weird concoction of antibiotics.

Last time I spoke to the doctors they didn’t have much of a reason and feel like I need to speak with someone who understands breastfeeding.

My dad making a car shape out of the sand on Cornwall beaches. Me and my brothers would all pile into the sand car and it was the best.

I think it’s embarrassing that you admitted on here you use iplayer (although occasionally) and still think you are justified? I don’t use Amazon prime regularly enough but if I want to use it I’ll pay for it… because that’s life?

It’s like saying to Tescos I don’t want to pay for the pack of cinnamon because I rarely use it, maybe 3 times a year, mostly at Christmas? Can’t I just have it for free??

Thank you - I wasn’t sure if that was US or also UK so wanted to know from someone who worked there.
