i'm almost 39 weeks and started my much anticipated maternity leave. we live in a block of (rented) flats and as i'm writing a massive monster of a scaffold is being put up outside - aargh, they're going to pain our bloody windows! now i'm terrified of going into labour with a squad of builders watching me. and they are LOUD (singing along to the radio and whatnot). my only consolation is that i didn't opt for a homebirth but i'm still freaking out!
