sorry for this, especially as compared to many of the other threads this is totally totally self absorbed, but I really need to get it off my chest so I can continue. I am really struggling to find any positives to being preggers. At 33 weeks I have a rather large bump - larger than the other ladies in my ante-natal class who are all due before me. So I feel like a bit of a freak. My parents are coming out to visit me in a couple of weeks, by which time I'll be even bigger, and I'm worried I'm going to feel like a freak show - everyone's already saying things like 'oh, aren't you big'! Not what I want to hear!
Plus the bump is beginning to hamper my movements, like bending, sitting, getting up from sitting, getting comfy, walking and all the things I used to enjoiy doing, so I'm feeling a little trapped. And then, when I last spoke to my mum, she kept laughing at me as she was telling me how much washing of clothing was involved, and I was saying why can't you keep bibs on to protect the clothes, and her reply was something like me having a lot to learn and having a wake up call. Mmmmmm.... I was quite livid about that.
On the plus side, which I am really really trying to focus on, I don't live anywhere near my parents or inlaws so advice and input is limited. And I am sleeping sort of alright, certainly compared to many mumsnetters. But I am so fed up with being preggers. I am really looking forward to meeting this little person (if I ignore the birth part), but surely there's got to be some more immediate joys of being up the duff.
Sorry for the rant. I'm not normally so selfish, but I can feel myself wallowing a little, so any kicks up the bum would be very very welcome!
