Hi! I’m 36 weeks tomorrow with my first baby and just North of Stamford. Feel free to message me 😌

Brilliant! So nice to hear from some girls! How are your pregnancies going?

Avatar

So far so good :) how about you!

Avatar

Hi! I’ve not had the easiest time tbh and right now just trying to plough through the next 3/4 weeks 🙌🏼 I finish work in a week though! How are you getting on?

Avatar

Not been too bad, nausea in the first trimester and then heartburn in the third but some meds have sorted it out. Starting to feel heavy and tired a lot more now though!
Same I go on Mat leave in a week too!

Avatar

I’m a little behind you guys but I already have days where I’m counting down to my maternity leave :)

Avatar

Honestly I’ve almost had every single symptom going, luckily nothing too serious but it’s very draining. I was going to work closer to my due date but I’m just done and although I’m wfh it’ll be nice to relax a bit before little lady arrives!
What date are you guys due?

Avatar

I’m due the 7th June :)

Avatar

Due the 26th March! Oh no! I m sorry that you ve had every symptom! It must be so tiring! I was sick through most of my pregnancy but they put me on omeprazole which has worked wonders and I no longer feel ill! Yay. I can see Krysta knows what she is having. Kerry do you know at all? We re going to wait until the birth.

We are not finding out until the birth. So far everyone is guessing boy.

Avatar

It’s not long to go for you guys - exciting and scary.

Avatar

I know! I m patiently awaiting baby. Got most things ready, Kerry how’s it going? Has baby come yet? Everyone is guessing that my little one is a girl! It ll be funny if they re right!

Avatar

I have 13 weeks to go. I have this really strange feeling it’s going to come early though.

I had to have a growth scan last week as my bump is measuring too small. Scan confirmed it’s spot on.

Maybe we could all meet up in the summer at Burghley (if that works for everyone else) when they are here :) I don’t really know any expecting mums.

Avatar

Awww a meet up in Burghley would be immense! I d love to have some mummy friends! I m 37 weeks almost 38! Ahhh! Feeling pressure a lot more now as well!
I m glad the growth scan went well! We have a scare that ours was breech and got sent for a scan, bur we re all head down and ready to go! Bum is currently on my ribs! 😂

Avatar

I’m 38 nearly 39 🙈

Avatar

Hi both, hope you’re both doing well 😌
Oh a meet up at Burghley sounds lovely! I don’t have any mum or expecting mum friends at all!
I’m due on Tues.. had a lot of pains and feelings the last couple of days but not enough to be any sort of pattern. Totally feeling impatient now and had enough, 🤞🏼 she isn’t late. She’s in the right place and engaged well at least so I’m hopeful!
I’ve had to have regular growth scans since 28 weeks and they’ve always been perfect. It sounds like bump measurements and scans can be totally different which isn’t helpful is it.
Which hospital are you both at?

Avatar

We should so arrange that! Kerry and I have hooked up on WhatsApp, maybe we should do a group?
Owe sounds exciting! Hopefully it ll be soon! The measurements and the scans don’t correlate at all! I had to have one because they thought baby was breech but it wasn’t. Head down and ready to go .
I m at Peterborough…..slightly worried about the gas and air situation. Where are you at?

Avatar

Oh definitely, I will message you my number 👍🏼
Really…. I think they can still move quite late on as well can’t they. I’m not sure how reliable weights are on scans either, they reckon at 38 weeks mine is about 7lb13oz.
I’m at Peterborough too, not happy about that situation either but sort of made my peace with it now knowing I can’t do anything about it!

Looking for a bestieee!

I am a first time mom, I don’t really have a lot of friends, especially friends who are pregnant or already have kids so it’s really hard to connect with people. I would love to get to know people and have someone to be able to talk with and connect with! I can’t see waves 😭

Am I justified???

I have a friend of 12 years we met through work. We are both pregnant (2 weeks apart) . We have been supporting each other through the pregnancy. It has been great because she has kids and has done this pregnancy thing twice already and just nice to have someone who gets it. We live an hour distance from each other so we made a commitment to meet every couple of months.
We met last time in January end of 1st trimester celebration and we went to their place.
For our March meet up we agreed somewhere mutual to do some baby shopping and see each other on a Saturday.
I asked her about meet time several times and she kept on saying she needed to check with her partner
Last time I asked was Friday before our meet the next day at 8pm and she was still checking.
Saturday (day of the meet) morning I heard nothing but didn't want to come off nagging. Bear in mind I can see her posting stuff on socials. Nothing all of Saturday nothing Sunday nothing Monday then Tuesday 9pm I get a 2 sentence apology "sorry I forgot and sorry it took me till Tuesday to realise'

I have ignored the message because I am pretty angry. I just feel disrespected and that mine and my husband's time is not valued of theirs. She didn't even bother to give a good excuse ? Am I justified to be angry ?
I do hold a grudge so I can overreact

Serious Advice - Debt related

Hi all,

I haven’t really got anyone to discuss with so I wanted some advice.

I’m going to be starting a debt management plan with Stepchange as since having the baby I’ve been unable to earn enough money to make a difference in my credit cards - I’m essentially paying nothing with the interest being added etc.

Anyway, with the proposed solution, after paying ALL my necessities, and the debt plan back I’ll be left with £170 disposable.

Does that sound reasonable? Or should I lower my debt plan, to have more money to put away now, and then increase the amount in a couple years? My car finance is due to end in 3 years, so I’ll be able to basically move that money over to the debt solution and clear it quicker.

What do people think the best solution would be to do?

Increase my disposable ££ and lower my debt solution, or £170 be okay? (It may be more if I don’t spend as much as anticipated during the month)

How’s everyone handling going back to work?

Do you think it’s been easier to get back into a routine? Or is mom guilt killing you?

Lonely

Hi I’m a stay at home mum to my 2 year old girlie. I love it although it is challenging at times. I’ve lost all my friends I only had really two close friends and they no longer keep in touch which is hard as I thought they would. I’m so lonely. Does anyone else feel this way?
