Last night I tried to look down below as felt a bit tender. Needed a mirror of course. And what do we find to add to weight gain, spd, pgp, spider veins, cankles, piles, dandruff, water retension, recurring thrush, stretch marks, wind that could be a weapon and stuffy nose etc...??? Fanjo piles. Seriously mother nature? On dc 5, week 35, and NOW I get these?! My body was never supermodel stuff, now even my bits are repulsive. I'M SO OVER PREGNANCY!!!!!!

Sorry. Had to vent! Blush Wink

I went to the GP for some thyroid results yesterday. Hilarious questions "have you gained weight, had heart beat changes, sweated more, had mood swings or felt either hungry or sick recently?" I'M 39 WEEKS PREGNANT!! All of the above (test results normal).

My particular glamorous fave is the goiter on my neck, classy - but the fact I am veiny like some swamp thing is a close 2nd.

Apparently it's all worth it in the end ;)

I'm finding it a great excuse for being an unattractive minging mess. Afterwards I will have to sort myself out and it'll be all my fault! lol

Thanks for making me chuckle with the cankles.

I've avoided stretch marks on the tummy where I expected, but my thighs look absolutely terrible. As my other half remarked "oh but it'll go away after won't it??" No sir... no sir it will not :D He his having a lesson in all the not-so wonderful things my body can do! :)

My bar is set to 'passable'. I dont expect a designer vagina and a 6 pack, i'd settle for normal/unremarkable on the former and unpregnant looking (post pregnancy) on the latter! Now that i've found my new pile friends I dont really want dh seeing down there!

Lol at 'minging mess'!

I thought I'd dodged stretch marks by using bio oil. They appeared overnight when the baby dropped. They look like purple zebra stripes! Up to my ribs almost. Curse my smug "just sticks out at the front" bump. Angry

I was hoping that I would escape more stretch marks due to being a bit of a bigger girl in my youth - but no - some of them have started getting extensions...

Ah vulval varicose veins, how well I know the horror. Pregnancy, wonderful huh?
