JellyBeans your bump looks lovely, I'm not that far off your size at 31+5 weeks. Sometimes people say 'you look huge', others say 'oh it looks neat'. It depends what I'm wearing to be honest. Also, I think it just seems to be a verbal burp that people make when they see a pregnant lady, like people can't avoid saying something.
I am due on 27th Oct, so wondering whether to straddle the November board too, especially as this is my first. I'd like it to come in October though as my birthday is the 30th and my mum was due with me on 27th :-)
Earlier I had this terrible cramp in my lower pelvis, thought it was my PGP and had to breathe deeply for a minute before it went. Turns out I had a significant toilet trip... been having so many prunes and water the last week. Never had a feeling like it!
I will be taking 5 weeks before the due date, 3 of annual leave and 2 of mat leave. I think getting past 30 weeks and still working is a massive achievement personally - as my midwife says, you have one full time job for 8hrs a day and another for 24hrs a day - growing baby.
