Due Date Club for Lil' March Hares, April Bunnies & May Pikas

[HopefulMonster]

Aww thanks Gurly, no sadly I'm a stay at home mum to our 2.5yr old toddler so we're a bit screwed at the minute tbh! Trying not to worry about it too much because of the baby but the timing of it is really crap! Just hoping his appeal is successful.

I'm going to get a private gender scan as soon as humanly possible! November 4th-6th I should be just over 16 weeks depending on the results of the dating scan. There's a place fairly nearby that do a no frills gender scan for £40 including 2 pics which is cheap enough to justify.

Last pregnancy I was going to wait for the 20wk anomaly scan the NHS give you but luckily caved in and found out at 16 weeks because in the end they couldn't see, I even had to go back at 23 wks because they hadn't managed to see all the heart chambers and they STILL couldn't confirm the gender! If I hadn't already found out I'd have been bouncing off the walls!

Swayed: yes, for a boy.

Expecting: girl/boy, will wait to find out at birth.

Hope that works. Wasn't sure if you just wanted to know if we swayed at all or if it was for a boy, so I gave both.

Thanks ribenaberry for posting that. And thanks to you Tiggerian for when you get a chance to put it up. No hurry.

Well, i got to 5+1 before the paranoia set in lol. I was playing with DD1 yesterday and my womb was not impressed lol! Then i felt loads better and i decided id done some damage and that was it.

This morning i feel as sick as a dog i suppose i should be careful what i wish for!!

Ive decided against the early scan. If i bleed ill go to the epu (i bled a bit with dd2) but otherwise i will try to be positive til the 12 week scan

I really need to rant about something totally unrelated but if i dont get it off my chest im gonna explode and cause a family feud!!

My brother and sil are pregnant with their first child, they have rented their own house for years but decided to move back in with my mum and dad to save some money for a house - good idea! However it now seems o be turning out that the plan all along was to do this so they can get bumpedbup the housing register by saying my mum is kicking them out. My mum is distraught, she would never ever kick any of us out, she has rearranged the house to make them comfortable even though my sil's parents have a bigger house but couldnt fit them in! I am finding it really hard not to say something. Hubby asked them about moving out today, to which they both told him what they intended to do, he raised his eyebrows at them and my brother said "yeah, mums not happy about it" and my sil said "i dont care!"

This is the girl who has no money but has spent £500 on mamas and papas nursery furniture and £100 on a private gender scan today.

Im furious, my mums heart is breaking that she is going to go down forever in historical records as kicking her son and his pregnant wife out when she had bent over backwards to help them.

Im furious!!!!!

I cant believe how heartless they are being.

Sorry, that hasnt actually made me feel better, i still want to punch them!!

That really sucks, it's hard to see people you love get taken advantage of. There's probably nothing you can do about it though. Your mom needs to kick them out

[HopefulMonster]

That's horrible, but there's not really anything that you can do without causing huge waves. If your mum wants she can write a letter stating that she is happy for them to keep living there as long as they want/need to and personally take it down to the relevant authorities - but based on what you've said I reckon your sil will have a shit fit over that.

[Ribenaberry]

My mum has already said if the council ask her she won't lie for them. Its so bad that they can do this to her without her being able to do anything about it.

The worst thing is, i dont even think it will do anything other than provide them with a bedsit because they will still be in the same band as it will go down as intentionally homeless.

I feel so sad for my mum, worst thing is, her stepmum really did kick her out when she was pregnant with me

[Tiggerian]

YOu know what, things like that seriously piss me off! There are people with a genuine need who can't get a house despite being completely screwed and then these people who think society owes them something.. urgh! To make it all better, I keep getting nasty comments from strangers on the streets because as an immigrant I'm the one sitting on your council houses, taking your benefits and ruining the NHS! <_<

And you're right, they will only get a B & B or bedsit IF they get that at all! The councils are getting harder and its tough to get a house now. Especially if they can see they are able to afford to save AND rent privately. If they can afford £500 nursery furniture, then the council will say u can afford to rent privately then and its likely they wont help them at all!

[Tiggerian]

And welcome Bella! Our first May-mama!
