No I havent had the baby yet, the HUGE lump attached to my front might be a bit of a clue dont you think?
Yes, I suppose I should "get a move on", but sadly this isnt actually down to me and I take the fact that she is comfy were she is as a compliment!
Shouting "Oooh get a bucket in case her waters go!!!" across a packed shop when I nip in for a pint of milk is NOT the last word in humour, infact its fucking annoying and you are lucky I didnt throw the milk at you.
And the man who owns the corner shop asking EVERY SINGLE DAY when the baby is due is getting a leeeeetle bit wearing. Sadly my answer of "the same as it was when you asked me yesterday and the day before" has passed him by!
And a person who I havent spoken to in 6 months texting to remind me to tell them "as soon as anything happens" can bugger off! yep cos you are first on my list before my parents and family, not.
You would think that after 5 other babies, I would be used to this or have a fail safe method of dealing with it, but no! It is still as annoying and there is little you can say without being actively rude to someone! Atleast I havent had any "any news" phonecalls or messages so far, thanks to a pre-emptive strike by me and DH!
And ..... breathe.....:o

lol 
You have my sympathies ladies, I was 41.5 weeks and the number of times I was told to go for a walk, have sex and have a curry...yeah right, cos all 3 of those options were really appealing at that time 
Oh joy, I think I'll stop going out when I get to that stage!
Am 21+3 and ALL this week everyone keeps saying "ooo you can't hide your bump anymore"
Yes, my bump has grown. No I can't "hide" it but NO I don't want to. Everyone knows I'm pregnant. It is not a secret. I'm actually chuffed to bits. Thanks for asking.
PS do let us know the second labour starts won't you? 
Same here - I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and left work this week. EVERY SINGLE work colleague told me to have a curry - they know I've had hyperemesis for the past 33 weeks but alas of course I'll be forking the vindaloo down now
I'm with you bogeyface - as it's my DC3 my patience with ridiculous comments has worn veeeerrrrrry thin and I am about to start throwing things.
My due date is today but I have tried to be vague about when baby is due throughout this pg as people seem to think it's like ordering a fkin washing machine & I should not only be able to name the delivery date but specify morning or afternoon slot as well
The people who have pissed me off really should know better as they have kids themselves, one of them has been Overdue twice before!
Am starting to feel the same about pineapple as I did about Ginger biscuits in the 1st trimester- just please stop telling me about them as if it's some new miracle cure! The day the nhs starts inducing women by feeding them pineapple instead of a prostaglandin drip is the day I will start eating it more than I do already.
Other gems include a phonecall from family member to ask "is the babies head in the right place?". Yes it is on top of it's neck according to the last scan thanks for asking.
Wow. What a bitch pg is turning me into! Think I need to relax a bit more :)
Hope everyone else who is im patiently waiting gets going soon!
