In the last few weeks, it seems nearly everyone I have spoken to has uttered the words 'ooh you must be getting impatient' to me. DC is due tomorrow, of course I'm getting bloody impatient! It's coming from people who have had children as well and know that I am of course fed up and getting a tad impatient. So AIBU or just stupidly hormonal?

bobbledunk try actually being pregnant with twins. A woman ran crying from the lift when I was at a hospital appointment (30ish weeks) because she 'had twins in the family' and was about to have her 12 week scan! I tried to reassure her....

Also I was met with surprise in Mamas and Papas at about 28 weeks because none of their skirts fitted me. They wondered why I needed a skirt as I looked like I was about to pop. I had a whole summer season to go though....

I was berated for revealing I was taking 9 mnths maternity leave by a woman who went back to work after three. No, I still don't get it.

Generally though I think you need a sense of humour and just smile, even if it's through gritted teeth half the time. Most of the time it's just conversation.
