Not a problem really, just want a whinge
Am 30 weeks on baby no 2.
Have had a big bump from about 17 weeks on.
But the last few days the bump has gone from ample to fecking huge!
I walked past a window at work today and noticed a. I was waddling b. bump looking like there was more than one in there c. my very expensive mat top riding up very tastefully around my newly outed navel!

I can't sit down, I can't stand up, can't lie down. Pee every 10 minutes ( bump has dropped and I'm sure head is down resting on my bladder)

Another 10 weeks of this ??
BTW according to my own dates I am 32 1/2 weeks. But still....

The novelty of being pregnant disappears so fast in the last trimester!

I suddenly looked huge too, and then baby came two weeks early. So I'd just make sure you have all your things prepared just in case. Otherwise, all I can say is, use it to your advantage and encourage others to help you out while you stick your feet up.

Walking into work today a number of people were just staring and then turning their heads away when I made eye contact.
I am a whale.
You are right.... will beach myself.
Now if anyone would just offer help...

I suddenly had a massive bump from about 30 weeks, 34 weeks now.
This past week, everyone has been commenting on it!
They ask how long I have left,then when I say 6 wks, they say, 'ohh you wont last long, you're really low'.
Very off putting. I know it is because I'm having a baby, but I don't need to be reminded that I look like a bloody whale!

I'm only 4 months and already people are gawping unashamedly in the street.
