Ok so I'm not due back at work until April next year which seems so far away right now but I know it will be here before I know it!
When I went on maternity leave, I was a restaurant manager in Debenhams so I was working 39 hour a week (8-6 five days a week)
I'm having serious thoughts about whether I put my career on hold because I don't want to leave Ethan for 4/5 days a week.
My husband thinks I should stay full time because I've worked so hard to get where I am but I don't like the idea of leaving little one 😩
I just don't know what to do!
@natroberts88, trial it for the first week and see how you go Hun I'm sure there is a way that you can lower your hours isn't there? X
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Sudden weight gain
So I'm not one to worry about my weight, I'm not insecure and I know I love to work out and will work it off. But I was 149 at 28 weeks, 148 at 29 weeks and then all of a sudden at 30 weeks I was weighing 151 one day, 152 the next and 153 this morning. Has anyone experienced sudden weight gain in less than one week? I don't care about the numbers so much, just don't know if I should be worried about it happening so fast. I should probably clean up my diet more to be honest th...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Losing hope for our rainbow
So I'm 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I was at work last night and needed to use the the bathroom....tmi...when I looked down the toilet bowl was full of bloody water. When I wiped there was nothing. I've had no pain and more more bleeding since. I went to the er but there wasn't much they could do because I'm so early. They checked my levels (6140) and booked me in for an early scan on Friday. I feel like I've already lost the baby ? I don't know what to do

Bump pic. 14 weeks 2 days ! I'm showing alot earlier with my boy than I did with my girl !excuse the background, I'm at work, im a painter, and one of my workers said boss you're getting pudgy !! 😋😋 so I had to go take a look in the mirror!
Write down all your options @natroberts88 If you went back to what you were doing, or if you did something else. What childcare costs there would be if any if you went back etc. What situation will be better for you as a family. If you have the choice to go back or not then it's just weighing up the option of how you feel about it. I always thought I wouldn't go back & I'd be a stay at home Mum but I went back after 15months. It may have been sooner but we moved areas so I changed jobs. I thoroughly enjoyed getting back to work but I was only working 3days, then went up to 4. It gave us more money to spend on days out & to treat ourselves & Morgan. He thoroughly enjoyed going to nursery. As I was running out of things to do with him 7days a week! It's a bit decision so just take your time & have a good think & chat with your oh about it 😊
