maternity grant

I’ve waited 4 weeks for the first text I’m still waiting for the next text saying they accepted me

Same here^^ hopefully I’ll actually hear back BEFORE I have baby bc I may have to be induced so I may not get it in time if they do approve me:/

@Ceecee what date did u get the text? And I hope it’s this week coming because I’m due in 5 weeks x

@Sophie I got it on the 20th so I would’ve been 33+3 I believe. I really need this money so I can actually buy babygirls mattress before she’s here and I’m about to be due In 5 weeks too but if I get induced it’ll be even sooner 😭😭😭my partner can pay it if he absolutely needs to but he pays EVERYTHING so it makes things really quite hard for us, really really hoping for it to help us out:/ xx

@Ceecee haha that’s mad I got my text to on the 20th and when’s your due date mines 4th of November and I’ll probably be induced too to be honest depends how my next scan goes on the 9th I just need my hospital bag stuff lol x

@Sophie I’m due the 5th! I’ve got my midwife appt on the 9th so I’ll be talking to her about it but my scans on the 14th n that’s when the consultant will let me know if they’re happy to induce me! It’s annoying that they weren’t booked the other way round because Now I have to book to see my midwife after the scan to go over everything and potentially book membrane sweep 😭😂xx

@Ceecee haha no way that’s mad I hope we get this grant soon have add me on here and I’ll add u on snap and I don’t know what there going do with me as I’ve been hospital loads with reduced movements xx

@Sophie fingers crossed 🤞 I’ve gone in with reduced movement once but luckily she’s been so active consistently since. it’s seeming like I’ve got hyperemesis gravidarum again if not something worse so there’s no guarantee on how things are gonna go for me either but I’m PRAYING for induction, I cannot manage this for another 5 weeks 😭😂xx

@Ceecee mines the opposite she’s dead lazy scares me and me too I can’t either just want her out now here safe and never heard of that to be honest xx

@Sophie hyperemesis gravidarum is extreme morning sickness, like inability to keep any food or drink down. I had it up till 12 weeks but with medication it went away, the issues have come back slightly less intense since about 28 weeks but they found ketones in my urine sample which was one of the indicators the first time round(other than the constant throwing up) so basically my body’s gone into starvation mode😭😭honestly I’m hoping it’s hg because if not it could apparently be gestational diabetes or preeclampsia 😭🤞

Xx

@Ceecee oh no I hope it’s none of them that’s not good I’ve got have another diabetes test Wednesday as last scan baby’s belly was measuring too large xx

N Do you have anterior or posterior placenta? Anterior makes it harder to feel movements anyway so just wondering if maybe you have that n it was affecting it at all. I wasn’t able to feel movement strongly until maybe 25 weeks 😅xx

My babygirls only 5 lbs ish at the moment so they’re not too concerned about size, but because of the things MY body’s doing it’s a higher concern xx😅

@Ceecee no I’ve got a normal placenta I have I think my girls just lazy haha and I’m officially 35 weeks today only 5 more weeks xx

please don’t flood the comments with things not relating, it makes it hard for people to read through for actual answers
