My diary

But it prob just depends on when they see you and when they can fit you in. I'll be nearly 35 weeks when I see midwife and then I have consultant week after just before 36 weeks. It'd prob take me a week or so before they try to turn her if they can but then I won't have a lot of time to make a decision with regards to what I want to do if she won't turn. starting to panick a bit x
 
They don't worry about them not turning til about 37 weeks, if it's not your first baby it's common for them to turn upto about 39 weeks, have a look at that spinningbabies website (google it) got loads of exercises on there to help baby turn, if baby breech around 37 weeks they will give you a scan to check exactly what position and if it's safe to try evc, sometimes it's not if the cord is wrapped round the baby wrong etc don't worry just get on birthing ball etc xx
 
I'm having such a bad day, doesn't look good for hubby working at my place covering my maternity leave, the pay is far to low we can't cope on that. Also hubby isn't entitled to paternity pay even from the government as he has to be in continued employment for 26 weeks leading up to baby's birth, so he won't be able to have time off to bond with baby I'm devastated. Our computer systems have been down all day so for 8 hours I've sat panicking about what were going to do. At the moment I can't afford maternity leave, most our savings were coming out the next 3 months of hubby's pay. I've tried ringing some companies regarding our payments/bills but basically there saying tough, even with my maternity leave and hubby having no job they expect there full payments on time. I've had stomach cramps for days and hardly slept it's got to be stress x
 
well ur more than 32 wks so hubby should be entitled to paternity pay as his been enployment longer than 26 wks so he should get it when his made redundant it should be paid on top of his redundancy. I really feel for you, as you shouldnt be worrying about finances when ur about to have a baby, hope something comes up for him soon. In mean time you might be entitle to tax credits go online and use the tax credits calulator. When my oh was out of work about 5 yrs ago it took him nearly 6 mths toget a new job and it was a struggle and then when I was pregnant with Maisie lost my job about 6 wks before I was due but I got paid redundancy and maternity pay x

It's because there's going to be a gap in employment from this Friday until he finds a job. he doesn't get any redundancy as he's only been there a year and was on a fixed term contract so it isn't even classed as redundancy. I rang child tax today they say I have to ring back when hubby is actually out of work and then I have to ring back again once I've started maternity. It's such a mess. I'm just going through our outgoings trying to find a way to get something sorted, especially if hubby has to take my job at such a low wage x
 
I really feel for you it's so hard at the moment trying to make ends meet, we really struggling as only dh works and we've been used to constant over time and suddenly not got it so we've basically on just over half our usual income, it's been a struggle especially with moving and car costing a fortune, all baby stuff to buy etc, I don't know what to suggest but we're all here if I need a moan, and I know how it is trying to figure out how you going to pay more out than what's coming in! Xx
 
Can u go to the job centre and get advise there u can't go throu the stress of this surely there's something u will both get ! X
 
I'm going to try and get my head straight and write I list of who to contact, and see if we have to ring and make an appointment with the job centre or can just go in. Also see if we can get any help from the council re with council tax as we'll be on such a low wage but we will see, I'll ring a few places tomorrow. My head is just so battered today, I know I'll just end up bubbling again when hubby get's in x
 
To top tonight off my little Jack is exhausted and been having paddies none stop since about 7, so I've put him to bed an hour earlier, he's sobbing and calling out for me and hubby, making me feel crap but I know he's so tired getting him up would make him worse x

I'm in agony, I'm going to try and have a lazy day today, but might nip out although I know I'll need my crutches :( there's no way the hospital are getting me on my back when I'm in labour there going to have to give me a comfortable chair and I'll have my birthing ball for when I can't stand, I can already feel myself getting wound up about not being able to walk about while in labour at hospital :( x
