No peace yet :(

by winniewheresmypooh on Thu Jul 28, 2011 5:43 pm
So just when I think the worry is over, it is really not. I now have a battle with the Maternity Allowance office as to whether or not I am allowed to claim. Their literature states that you can claim if the baby was stillborn in the 25th week of pregnancy. The staff seem to be reading that as you need to be 25weeks pregnant but surely the 25th week means that I have completed 24weeks (so am 24 weeks pregnant) and have entered the 25th week (so am 24weeks + something) After a phone call they said...

Enabling Hibernation in Ubuntu 12.04 on a Lenovo T400

Made it to 12weeks!

by winniewheresmypooh on Sun Feb 19, 2012 9:47 am
12+1 today

Time seems to have flown by. All is going well so far. Nervously awaiting my Nuchal screening. The last pregnancy showed low PAPPA levels which were discovered as part of the NT blood tests so fingers crossed that they are all normal this time. My scan will be on Thursday and the results get posted to me following that so should know within a couple of weeks.

My sister is pregnant with her first baby and also has her NT scan on Thursday. (She is due 1 day before me ...
