I swear if one more person asks me that....Angry

Seriously. Who the fuck ever gave birth on the basis of a twinge'!? The word is banned. Irritating, pointless word.

Haha I had this for the last couple of weeks of my first pregnancy, along with phone calls multiple times a day from family members to check on me, and I HATED it! I'm 36+3 with number 2 now so I'm sure it'll start again soon!

Along with the question 'have you had the baby yet?' I can't hold back the sarcasm and actually used the line 'yes last week, did I forget to tell you?' At one point yesterday! 😡

Ha when I was expecting ds 2 I was walking round town and someone said haven't you had that baby yet? I said yes had it 2 weeks ago I'm just fat Hmm. I know someone who isn't due for another 2 weeks and people have already been doing this for weeks on her f.b

Glad it isn't just me! Perhaps I ought to start regaling people with tales of my piles and and temperamental bowel when they enquire about the presence of these much anticipated 'twinges'. Grin
