Maternity trousers don't fit anymore at 28 weeks.

You block radio signals when stood side on to radio!

And if one more person asks 'are you sure one isn't hiding?'...

When in the bath no matter how much water you run it's not enough to cover your bump.

Badgerwife flushable wipes are marvellous in that situation!

Titferbrains I knocked over ds yesterday with my bump

Danio I managed to shave the sides last night. Anything else is going to have to wait. Don't care anyway - I can't see it so it doesn't offend me

Sibella my sister has an old bath from the days before water became expensive. Last time I stayed there fore the weekend and had a bath every night. Am thinking I might drive up to her house one day soon just to have a bath that covers my bump

This thread is great and it makes me feel so much better to know I'm not the only one with these problems!

I've been using my bump to "usher" my four year old out of the house and into the car. I've had to explain (again ) to both kids not to leave their crocks in front of the door as I can't see them and I'll fall over.
My current catch phrases are " yes it is only one" and "yes I will be massive by November".

Worse thing, I actually think I look really skinny in the rest of my body (when I know I don't. It's just proportional)

I'm18 weeks

I'm waiting for the springy ear handles to pop out of my stomach to complete my space hopper look!

when the checkout lady tells you she'd asked your DH last week if you'd had the baby yet and you tell her no I'm only 27 weeks That happened to me last week and have been depressed ever since! Glad I'm not the only one.

You have to get dh to tidy below so you can take older dc swimming.

People are aghast when you tell them mat leave starts on 1 Sept when they expect you to say 3 weeks time!

Got in a cab today & driver said 'ooh triplets?! What a blessing'
I wasn't sure if I wanted to cry or hit him.

When the babe's father stands a full pint beer glass on your bump

I can balance my cup of tea on my bump when sitting - is about the only benefit .
