21+3 and already longing for mat leave - baaaah!

[BotBotticelli]

That's it really! In a grump this morning sat on stinky commuter train into Central London.

Pregnant with ds2. Totally knackered: work 4 days per week in high stress job (not physical work, it's a desk job, but it's mentally exhausting).

I do most of the nursery drop offs and pick ups, and give DS his supper/bath of an evening cos DHs job doesn't really permit it.

Oh and we have decorators coming in next week to totally refurbish our house so me and DH spent the weekend boxing up all our belongings to store in the garage out of their way.

I am already the size of a fucking hippo. My fanny looks like a baboons bum.

Finishing work at 35 weeks...roll on that day.

Bah! Fed. Up.

Anyone else?

Me too! 22+2 with number 2 and Dd is age 2.4. I work 4 days per week as a teacher, feel massive,my boobs are like rocks and I cant sleep. Roll oat leave

I'm 38+4 and just started mat leave today. I've been longing for it since about week 16...

22+1 with DC3

My commute in to London takes 45 mins (we drive for 10 mins before the train)

My train line company has the worst reputation for delays.

I am usually fine, unless there is a day like last week where I am squashed like a sardine without a seat!!

No one cares about the baby on board badge either.

I am not actually going on maternity leave until the day before I have my c-section (39 weeks) so in it for the long haul!!

Erm, are you me? I'm 20 weeks today, DC2, finishing at 35 weeks, doing house refurbishments, and am knackered all the time :(

DS insists on sleeping in the bed with us every night, pretty much on top of me, which isn't helping.

I'm seriously considering finishing earlier - I have the right to 4 weeks of unpaid parental leave this year -we could just about cope without my wages for a month, and I'm soooooo tempted to do it....

Snap! I woke up this morning in a foul mood! Am 17 weeks, constantly tired and struggling to keep up with the demands of teaching! Would love nothing more than to curl up in my pjs on the sofa right now but got a pile of marking to get through! Role on July when I can finish!

I'm 22+5 and have just done 2 12 hr shifts over the weekend. 6 hr today and woke up in such a grump! I'm a hca and work is hard going physically, mentally and emotionally. I decided I'd wait till 35w too but have been wishing I could go on mat leave from about 10w!
May have to cut down the 12hr shifts but that means doing 2 more days a week! Boo hiss!
