How many times have you been to MAU for reduced movements?

Just curious how many times you guys have been, I've already been 3 times!

I’ve been twice I believe at 25 or 26 weeks and then just at 30 weeks, my midwife told me to go as many times as I feel to as long as I’m ensuring my baby is safe no matter what.

I’ve been to triage 3 times in total, once for high blood pressure, once for reduced movements at 23 weeks and then I went yesterday because I was spotting and had a migraine for 2 days 😬 that’s what they are there for though I suppose. I try not to feel guilty about it

I have been 4 times now, 3 times in the last 30 days

Panicking I should be more worried when I don't feel little one for a few hours. I enjoy the peace 😂 then when I think about it I get a boot to the ribs 😂

Never

Girl I’ve spent my pregnancy in mau! For reduced and other reason . I’m a super worrier ! And tbh I feel bad about it but at the same time I don’t give a fuck if it means my little girl is okay and I can relax and get some relief for a little bit from my worries x

Been twice for reduced movement and twice for other reasons (intense cramping / bleeding)

I’ve basically lived in mau, all the midwives know me now which is quite bad. 😂😂

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
