Realise the hormones don't help, and god knows why I still read them, but...At a motivational low. Please help! Too jaded with too many 1st time pregnant friends. Where are the reality updates for real people??

28 Weeks

Your baby:
This week your baby's fat layers are beginning to form and he is now the size of a beach whale. From this week on he will continue to grow until he resembles two beach whales.

Your body :
Your baby has an amazing ability to make room for himself. Your lungs, bladder, stomach and any other internal organs will continue to be squashed until it feels like you can no longer breathe, eat or hold in any water.

What you need to know:
Not long too go now! Your into your final trimester which mean you only have three more months, THREE MONTHS(!), until you will be able to breathe again....

Pregnancy Tip:
'Now that it's later in my pregnancy, I find that if I sleep on my side with a pillow underneath my belly, turn off the monitor and ignore my screaming one year old, I don't wake up at night'

If I was Emma I'd be less worried about her "luffly hubby" and her cheeky nibbles of brie in France and more about the fact that she's had this apparently lovely breezy pregnancy going on for about forty years. Is the baby always called Amelia? (Spoiler alert, sorry)

SugarplumKate · 27/11/2013 22:42

No, Emma's baby was called Kate (I think!), my first time around - 14 years ago..... Def. not Amelia.

It was Chloe 4 years ago! She's always on trend, isn't she? :)

PterodactylTeaParty · 27/11/2013 22:52

Emma's baby is called Chloe now. The woman needs to be stopped, she's clearly stealing them.

I am always googling what stage of pregnancy I'm at, lol Grin

I also enrolled my husband in a "weekly update" website so he gets all the emails too! I'm about 99% sure he doesn't even look at them, Grin

Haha. I read the title and assumed you meant friends on facebook who update their status with every tiny detail. I definitely find that annoying but only because I'm desperately ttc Grin

moominleigh94 · 30/11/2013 08:07

It was Amelia in the issue I got three months ago Grin no wonder she sees labour as uncomfortable waves of discomfort - she must have a chuff like a wizard's sleeve after all those babies.
