    Glad I could help.

    Keep in touch and let me know how you go! Try not to worry, and keep on with your training. You are lucky you're not feeling sick. At least you can try and keep focussed and do a really good job until you have to do another really good job of being a MUM!!!!!!

    I really like my bosses and so I told them at 5½ weeks. On top of that, there was a little girl at our school with spots and I had to let them know why I was acting like such a freak towards her!

    They were both thrilled for me (they're both mums to 2 kids) and started immediately throwing books, advice, funny stories my way and have been very supportive and pleased for me.

    We're in a great situation in Sweden with maternity leave. We get 12 months off on 80% salary (payed by the g'ment) and your job is guaranteed for 18 months. Including your 12 months off at the beginning, you get a total of 450 days off for child related care in the 1st 4 years...pretty sweet deal...then again, it's why we pay such huge taxes over here!!!
