Probably. But depending on partners income you might not need to.

 

Now. There is nothing you can do till Monday now. So take my advice and try not to think about it until Monday. You won't change anything by worrying a weekend but the weekend will drag.

Please do not ask me for advice via PM as I will not reply.

I have to be honest with you. I see a fair few cases adjourned as legal aid havn't got their act together- so it's not just you. It could happen.

 

Think of your blood pressure and baby and enjoy the weekend xx

oh my god. i really wanted it out of the way so i can concentrate on my babies but if thats normal then its ok too. i just hope that after all that the dont turn me down.

i had a check up and a scan today and the baby's growth is a little slow so i have to go back in 2 weeks for another scan. i hope im not letting this case get to me and affect the baby. its just hard not to worry.

thanks xxx

Well if it's any help I know a few people that have had scans that say the baby is too small. Baby was a normal size when it was born.

 

Yes. When my ex-wife was pregnant with our first daughter, the scans tended to show she was a bit on the small side. She was just a touch short of 7lbs when born, which is small-ish but still a healthy enough weight. She turned 16 in January and has been healthy all of her life aside from the usual minor childhood ailments.

 

As to an adjournment of the court case, although I can understand why you want it over with, if for any reason the Legal Aid is not sorted by the date of the hearing, it would be in your best interests to seek such an adjournment until you can have a lawyer with you. I'd say this is particularly important if you intend to plead guilty to any charge, as you'll want the Magistrate to fully consider your circumstances and mitigation, and that's what a lawyer can help you with.

I had to have ridiculous amount of scans including specialist ones measuring blood through the umbilical cord and in the end they said ds1 was growing regularly but would be small for dates. He was born weighing 8lbs 4oz. Admittedly he was 16 days late but even had he be born on time, he wouldn't have been small! On the contrary they were happy with dd and were shocked when she was born weighing 5lb 9oz. But she was fine too. So try not to worry.

I would contact the court and explain the situation ASAP. Tell them that you are have contacted a solicitor to help you but have been unable to confirm his availability for the hearing tomorrow. Then ask what, if any, procedure would be available to continue the hearing to later date to allow you to sort this out.

Hi Just a quick update.

 

I went to court at 9.30am yesterday, my legal aid came through at the last minute, I had to wait such a long time and when I finally went in my solicitor asked for a probation report because I had pleaded guilty. Then I waited until 2pm to see the probation people. I must say the lady was lovely and she understood my circumstances and that my claim was not fraudulent from the beginning so she said that she would recommend that they sentence be a conditional discharge but if the magistrates don't agree with that then she would want to ask for a curfew. This is because I don't go out anywhere and that I have 3 young children and a baby on the way. but it would mean wearing a tag :sad:. she said she wouldn't recommend a fine because she feels that I am already paying a lot (£50.00 per week) back to dwp. Anyway court was adjourned until 28th April and hopefully by then I will know my fate.

 

Thank you for all your replies.

hi honeybee

thank you so much. its not completely over yet but im getting there.

 

Hi There,

 

If the probation lady made such good recommendations that will help. I got my head teacher to write a letter say what a custodial sentence would do to me.

 

Good Luck Hun

 

Don't be afraid.
