DP: How you feeling today?

Me: A bit achy, actually, really bad ligament pain around the pelvic area (am 28w)

DP: (said GENUINELY) Yeah, me too

Give me strength

I am currently 34+4 (with the usual large bump) and have been prescribed Pregaday (NB very obviously and clearly from the name a pregnancy supplement).

Me: I'll take that prescription to the supermarket and pick it up, couldn't get it in Boots yesterday.

DH: Why don't you just take the iron supplements we've got in the cupboard?

Me: Well these are ones the midwife told me to get, and anyway the prescription is free because I'm pregnant so may as well get them.

DH: Oh, are prescriptions free when you're pregnant?

Me: Yes

DH: But do you have any proof you're pregnant though?

DP truly meant that he was also experiencing pelvic and ligament pain

I said "Erm, I think mine is more about being 6m pg, actually"

DP: Oh yeah, right...
