Poo just seen your question - I was skinny as can be first time till 16 weeks and then ballooned in the space of an afternonn (quite literally. I had bought an outfit for my sister's wedding at lunchtime, and by the time I got home and put it on to show OH it no longer fit!) Second time I was holding my trousers together with elastice bands by 10 weeks, and by 12 weeks I was resorting to wearing big jumpers to hide it and people STILL noticed!

Switty thanks. I was mostly outside in fresh air and spraying into the chicken house, so hopefully fine. I did DIY in a lead paint filled moldy house with DD though, and look what a handful she turned out to be!

poo I know I iz not second timer - but I can assure you that very early on i couldn't bear having tight things on tummy... def as early as you are now. Also the first pregnancy I had was differnt to this one in lots of ways (the main one being the fact that it didn't last after 9 weeks... ) but my boobs hurt much more teh first time - so am wondering if every diffedness is different so may as well not compare

Hehe Box I remember that ballooning well! From around 6/7 months random strangers in tesco would ask when I was due, and the shock/horror on their face when they realised I still had x weeks/months to go made me v ! I didn't put on a lot of weight but my god, my bump was ginormous. So glad it is not just me showing earlier this time, its impossible to hide. Especially as it is warm and I am wearing short sleeves - people keep noticing the travel-sickness bands on my wrists and giving me knowing looks. Or just blatantly shouting 'oh my god, you're pregnant!'. I have all but given up trying to keep it secret until the scan.

boxy and poo A bloke said to me last night 'not long for you now eh!' and I said 'you do realise that you have essentially just called me fat'

Fanks Iggs. Strangely my norks are not hurty this time, which is well weird. First time, I couldn't even bear to have shower water hitting norks as it felt like a million hot needles, but they are fine this time. Maybe because they have already been stretched beyond all recognition.

Well done Iggs! I hope he was suitably red-faced.

On the ballooning front - I have been measuring bang-on or small for dates at last few checks, yet so many people seem shocked that the baby is not due until July.
Is it just that they don't see full-term pregnant women that often, so assume 7 months size is huge?

iggy - nice one

SSKnitty "Skeins of yarn"?? Heh - I still call patterns recipes^ sometimes, and have only used circular needles once Muser I have admired your blanket on t'other place, it is lovely! Will save a place in the knitting corner of the Deli for your forthcoming win.

Now, who said they liked to sew?....

Cnut giz a Krispy Kreme! I love 'em. Not one you've bled on though. Enjoy your final day...and dress down? Jeans are considered businesswear in this corner of the public sector....! I wear trainers every day at the moment (though am slightly ashamed of this, as it contradicts a personal pledge Never To Do This). So comfy though.

Jelus of last days....

casp I haz same - but I am all bump - so prob do look v. large! I am measuring right for dates - and baby is average size for everything on last scan - plus I just got my blood results back and all are normal for pregnancy - so can only assume that is just the shape I am

The bloke was a bit 'I didn't mean that um, err' etc... I tried to be nice about it tho - just think i had had a comment too many!

Iggs one of my best friends just suggested "fat races" for the two preggos coming to his forthcoming wedding. I Was Not Impressed.

Got offered a seat on the train again - am torn between lovely politeness of strangers and horror and my enormousness pervading even commuter-blinkers.

I didn't take the seat and chap looked crestfallen - but I was really polite and grateful (loudly) to him - is that bad? will he never offer again? I just prefer to stand if I'm feeling ok as I sit down all day at work.

Talking of work, stop distracting me, you lot!

Husband and I talked about maternity leave and how long to take. Remember his response was to take 6 - 9 mtgs? Well peeps I iz taking a year!!! Go me !

Months not meetings! Sheesh kebabs.

Office is dead quiet and I want to be shopping for baby gear. I don't mean ganja!!!

My MIL greeted me at her door at the weekend with the immortal line 'Hello Fatty!'

@ taking 6-9 meetings off work. Now THAT is organised!

Oh god VAG - ALWAYS accept a seat - remember he may not offer for the next differ whose cervix is falling out of her foof

I always take, never refuse, however lively I'm feeling

My dad keeps going on about me being a fatty: telling me I have to go in the box of the pick-up/will break chairs/ate all the pies etc.

feeling guilty for next preggo now. Will henceforth have an Always Accept policy.

Oh hello! Jenson Button has split up with his girlfriend!

silver Give it a few weeks and then hit the Sales like a woman posessed. I have been reliably informed that said baby clothes sales are only for the very ruthless and those armed with extremely pointy elbows.

polly I couldn't stand anything on my tum until way after first trimester. I went out and bought knickers which came up to my underwire because I just couldn't do with any pressure at all.

VAG We're all there I think - well, with the possible exception of glam iggy/cossie. I bought a pair of walking sandals my grandmother would've been proud to flout in her 80s. honey has taken to wearing "jogging trousers". Sod the slippery slope. Be pleased the man offered you your seat - people don't offer seats to fatties - so you're clearly not falling in to that category!

I personally get very annoyed about the whole fat/pregnant thing. They are not the same and it annoys the shit out of me when people equate them as being the same.

cunty Ugh, you wouldn't would you? He's disgusting. Me and David Coulthard are preparing to go public any day now though.

Tsk @ David Coulthard - you'd have to widen doorways to get his jawbone through

My nickname from everyone at work would now appear to be fatty.

I am wearing trainers today, is dress down Friday innit. AND more importantly, PASTRY FRIDAY. Hurrah. (last Friday of every month) I haz so far had croissant and chocolate brioche. Will meander back to kitchen later to see what is left. Perhaps this is why I am now called fatty.

TGO earned himself about a million years worth of brownie points this morning by telling me, just as we were setting off to work that ?you really are looking beautiful at the moment? sob.

I'd do button over coulthard...

not literally... cos I wouldn't want to be part of an f1 sandwich

ski will my freaky one elbow covered in red itchy blobs suffice?

Boots have got a sale on. Bottles and shiz reduced incl.sterilizer thingymabob. Will ogle it at lunchtime and maybe purchase.

You can keep Jensen Button and ski you are welcome to my sloppy seconds of D Coulthard.
