    It was the old dears at work with me - one of them said to me every time i see you go in the loos i wonder if i should get some towels and hot water.

    Yes i knew i was huge and looked about to pop, but they drove me bonkers.

    Hello :)

    Still cooking baby here.
    And hoping you're not too fed up with comments like "Haven't you popped yet?" which nearly drove me to murder!!
    It's my mum and DH with - 'any twinges yet?' - which is getting a bit annoying!
    We've warned all the families and friends that its going to be appointments only when the baby's here! Also, I plan to have a bottle of ketchup by the front door - just in case ;)

    I refused to take the tablets Cath cause of the side effects and am on the iron liquid instead. :) Much easier to take as well.

    Am pleased to say that I managed to clean the windows the other day and have painted the woodwork and radiator in the baby's room :D

    Now...paracetamol, keep moving if it hurts, keep upright if you can, do your breathing exercises and take no carp from anyone. You can do it and you have it under control. xxx

    Oooh exciting. Here's hoping for a nice easy labour for you. It's always a good start if it begins in the morning. My DS's labour began at 11pm when I was just about to go to bed, so I was already tired before I began. My DD began at 9am and was much easier, so I'm glad you've started at a sensible time of day.
    Starting again 13/4/19

    Thanks everyone :)

    DH is on his way home as work will let him work on his laptop. He's picking up some more paracetamol for me.

    The pain's are all centered in my back - I thought they'd be in my stomach
