Popular Post djdabush Posted April 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2017 Forgot this thread existed. Got my first due in July, took years of persuading to get my wife to agree (fair to say she's generally not a fan of kids). Getting excited but also a little nervous now, the commitment is quickly dawning on me! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting excited but also a little nervous now, the commitment is quickly dawning on me! RV having his has made it a little bit more real for me, mine is also due July, so has seemed ages away but the weeks are nearly into single figures now. Although June is looking a bit more likely now as my Mrs is suffering a bit with various things and had an emergency c section with her first so a planned c section is looking increasingly likely. If it works out as it looks, my boss is going to hate me, as the end of June is crazy at work. So more than a week early and she is not going to like the conversation when I tell her I'm starting my 2 weeks off during one of the busiest times of the year.

It was the same with me, one month it seemed ages away then all of a sudden we was into single figures. Tbf I was still in denial up until two weeks ago. My wife has a C section with our first but our last two have been natural births. My boss has been a bit of a clearing in the woods if I'm honest. Rang him Wednesday morning to let him know we had the baby and to say I would not be in all week and all I got out of him was, well when will you be back in then. Then yesterday he rang to see if I was in Monday and I said I won't be in until Wednesday. No congratulations or feck all. Best thing about it is that I get no money whatsoever for my time off as I'm down as self employed. My gaffers are pissing me right off at the moment regarding one or two other issues. Anyway hope it goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway hope it goes well. Thankfully i'll get full pay for the 2 weeks I'm having off. I'm not sure if it was just showing over keenness to help work out or pressure from my boss but a colleague agreed their paternity leave and the dickhead stuck with the date given of the due date, the baby was 2 weeks late, I'm sure his Mrs wouldn't have been best pleased. I'll be doing nothing of the sort, with my 2 weeks starting from when she's born (which I think is legally the earliest it is meant to be from anyway) If it is a planned C Section they will get a couple of weeks notice from me that I'll be off earlier than expected barring the unexpected and that will have to do.

Popular Post ThunderPower_14 Posted May 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) We had our 12 week scan today and everything was apparently looking really good. It's a mixture of joy and relief. So exciting to see the baby kicking around in there. It's been great to see my missus start to feel better as well, she was never physically sick but she felt like garbage for weeks. Also just announced it on facebook with #PiratesAreWild and this image Edited May 1, 2017 by ThunderPower_14 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ruge, when she was 5 weeks pregnant she started bleeding and went to a&e and was told nothing they could do at that stage cus they don't have a heartbeat at that week, since then we've been fine until this morning when my wife bled heavily and we thought that was it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 My wife also had a small bleed with our first about 6 or 7 weeks which is obviously scary, when we called the hospital they basically said the same. Can't do anything so just have to sit tight and hope for the best. All was well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell that's rough. I thought at worst they gave you a probability rating at that point. We just had the scan where they do the initial Down Syndrome test by checking the thickness of the fluid at the back of the neck, which the radiologist said was in the really low risk range. There really is a big sense of relief every time you're told that your baby appears healthy and that everything is as expected. I feel so sorry for parents who have to go through that kind of stress.
