Thanks Cyning,
I'm planning to talk to citizen information today. I know that by law my boss must have place where I will be able to rest and lie down.
I will see what they have to say.
The most annoying thing is I still get emails from work, and I need to take care of few things on weekly basic so it is not that he doesn’t need me. He is afraid that if something will go wrong I may be entitled to have a claim against him.
I talked to my GP yesterday, he said that HSE is extremely strict in relation to med certs and if I do not require hospitalisation he should let me go back to work.

Hi everyone, was away at the wkend so haven't been on in a few days.
Then got struck down by that wretched tummy bug on Sunday...unusual for the two of us to be sick at the same time but Boyf had the symptoms a few hours after I first did! It's literally a 24-hour thing. Grand today and back in work. Saurelin, your boss sounds like an ass. I didn't know the HSE were so strict with med certs, you wldnt think it the way some docs hand them out! My own GP told me at my first appt that if I ever needed a day off because I was so exhausted, just call into him! I've never taken him up on the offer, but I think it helped to have that in the back of my mind. Just because you're not sick enough to be hospitalised, doesn't mean ur well enough to be working either. Boyf is getting all paternal and responsible on me - we applied for life assurance last night and he wants to take out a pension. Because of his illness, he's afraid that his life has been shortened and wants me and babs looked after. His medical history is complicated, but he's fine now so we're waiting to hear if the company will insure him. The fact that he needs surgery sometime in the future might work against him, even tho he might not have it for 20 years. Fingers crossed for him, because it's something that's very important to him. Week 20 now....feel like I'm over on top of the hill and it's all countdown from here. Can't believe it's passing by so quickly

Girls, I have begun so obsessed with my pregnant belly that I've started googling pictures of 4 months pregnant bellies.
I think I am very big for 4 months ( 19 weeks tomorrow) some pictures had girls around my size, others had tiny babies! I feel like most of my belly is fat and not baby. I have a wedding in 5 weeks and I'm dreading it incase people think I look more like 7 months pregnant instead of 5.5. I didn't really change my diet too much, although I do think that since I got pregnant I started to eat when hungry, as I didn't want to deprive baby... Whereas before I had my breakfast at 8, and even though I'd be peckish at 11.30 I wouldn't eat anything as lunch wasn't too far away, but now I would eat something small. Oh god. I'm such a fatty mac butterpants. |

Hi all, What a 24 hours. Went to my Gp yesterday afternoon and they could not find any heartbeat with the doppler which has previously worked successfully at 14 weeks! was told can go to A&E and wait til morning til scan can be done once radiology back on, or alt come back in at 9am for scan.
Anyway, went to maternity this morning and scan all fine -no problems what so ever! A bit bruised and sore myself but I wouldnt be bothered about that if baby is ok! Is my first incident as everything has run so smoothly so far..... makes u think twice after something like that! Warning....Ladies dont wear socks and no shoes/slippers around the stairs!!! |

Oh Kiwi glad to hear you and babs are ok. You must have got some fright.
I eat when I am hungry, I eat alot during the day but not really in the evening any more. I was working outdoors before I broke my ankle back in November so would have been scoffing huge meals in the evening!! Now in the evening I eat half as much as I used to but to be fair I might have a bowl of cereal at 10pm! Just can't fit as much in as I used to I suppose! |

Silly, don't worry about it. There was 18 pregnant ladies at my antenatal class, all between weeks 18 and 20, and the difference in all the bellies was astounding... some with itty bitty bumps, and others that looked massive. 'Normal' is such an arbitrary scale... and everyone will be delighted to see you looking healthy and happy, no-one will care about the size! |

Half of the day I think I look fine and the other half all I can see is that my ar$e is growing commensurately with my bump. I look like I'm pregnant both sides. |

Girls, I need your opinion, because I can't decide if I'm being pregnant lady crazy, or whether I am being reasonably concerned.
Hubby wants to go to a concert with the guys on the 7th of June. It's on in Cork, a 2-3 hours drive away. He intends to come home afterwards. I'll be 35 weeks pregnant at that stage. I am getting nervous about him going, but i'm not sure if thats just my pregnancy brain. But if this is how I feel now, I'm worried I'll be handcuffing him to the radiator in June! Any thoughts? |

Kash,
I'm not sure, I had sort of the same discussion with the OH a few weeks back. He wanted us to go to his sister's 40th in June & when I said I had no intention of driving 4.5 hours there & 4.5 hours back for a party when I'm 8 and a half months pregnant he said "oh that's a pity but I understand, I won't drink so if anything happens I'll come straight back up to you!" I don't think he realised what he was saying at that stage he presumed the baby would come out bang on the 8th!! Luckily after the last few doc visits he has no intention of going anywhere without me It's completely up to you though. Maybe you could get your mum / sister / friend to stay with you for the few hours & be on standby just in case. You could get your OH to keep checking his phone and leave straight away if anything does happen. If it's 3 hours away max then he should make it to the hospital before the baby does!! |
