I am finding despite the ailments that I am really enjoying this bit
Loving the body - enjoying having the little person inside still!
Feeling so 'full' of my dp ( does that sound odd)

I do not think i normally feel able to enjoy this bit - maybe it is summer baby but its just lovely, I am savouring this feling

Am I alone?

Franny, I'm with you. And it's only been in this last week I have turned into a proper grump but I am so uncomfortable and in pain and tired and irritable all the time. DD (2) is fab but watching a lot of films - no maternity leave for SAHMs who don't use nursery or playgroup - but thankfully I have a v helpful mother nearby..!! I could do ANYTHING today as she is at Nanna's for two nights - but its so hot I am struggling to think of anything... might go and buy loads of magazines or go to the cafe for a fry-up...

Will def try to have more positive outlook - am only 38 weeks too so potentially could have 4 more weeks of uncomfortable crossness

FrannyandZooey · 04/07/2008 11:36

it's the not knowing, partly, isn't it
am control freak anyway so that doesn't help

franny - that does not bode well!!

i am hoping it means some hormonal hyper activity before the labour!

oh yes yes I am sure it DOES mean hyper hormonal activity, yes you're right

Pruni when you say you ate all the meat, were you actually in M+S when you ate it? Please say yes. I want to think of a vastly pg woman stuffing whole chickens into her mouth and appalling everyone.

I am due on Thursday and cannot wait - really fed up being stuck at home, am used to being a busy bee! Doesn't help my 2 friends with same due date as me have had there's already and with really short labour! And everyone keeps texting to ask if i'd had it yet! I want to scream!!

Thanks for starting this thread ButterflyMcQueen. I'm 38+3 and was just feeling waddly and fat and all my NCT class have given birth except me...but now I think I will make the most of having LO to myself for a few more days
